Let Me Edit Your Page:
- Actually Pretty Funny: Both Heike and Narcis have this reaction after Narcis almost knocks Heike off the bed with his sneeze.
- Affectionate Nickname: Heike calls Narcis a variety of pet names throughout the story, including "Jamie", "darling", "sweet(heart)", and others.
- Anti-Sneeze Finger: Heike gives one to Narcis near the end of the story.
- Bedhead-itis: Narcis ends up with wild hair after a sleepless night being miserable with a cold.
- Beautiful Dreamer: Heike thinks Narcis is adorable when he's asleep.
- The Cameo: A brief one from Super Macho Man near the end.
- Catch Your Death of Cold: A variation; Narcis gets mild hypothermia after getting caught in the cold wind/snow, which softens to a cold as the story progresses.
- Cooldown Hug: Heike gives Narcis one of these to get him to stop crying.
- Drama Queen: Narcis acts very dramatic about his illness, including doing the "hand over forehead" gesture.
- Freudian Excuse: Subverted; Heike at first believes Narcis is so vain because he was very insecure about his looks as a child. However, when asked, Narcis denies this, saying he's always been beautiful.
- Go-to-Sleep Ending: The story ends with Narcis settling in for a nap after a sleepless night.
- Growling Gut: Narcis has a gut feeling when he's hungry around dinnertime.
- Illness Blanket: Because of his hypothermia, Narcis is wrapped in thick blankets.
- Instantly Proven Wrong: Narcis's stomach rumbles immediately after he claims to not be hungry.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As vain as he is, Narcis at least minds his manners.
- Luminescent Blush: An interesting example: Narcis is already red in the face from being sick, but goes even redder after his embarrassing secret (his ugly sneezes) slips.
- Malicious Misnaming: Super Macho Man calls Narcis "Nimrod Prince".
- Named by the Adaptation: Narcis's real first name is given as "James".
- Riddle for the Ages: Who brought Narcis the tissues?
- Security Cling: Heike clings to Narcis to avoid falling off the bed.
- Sickness Equals Redness: Narcis has a heavy blush while he is ill, which distresses him quite a bit.
- Sneeze of Doom: Part of the reason Narcis despises colds is his very loud, ugly sneezes, one of which almost knocks Heike across the bed.
- Soup Is Medicine: Heike feeds Narcis hot vegetable soup to warm him up.
