Alex's beard didn't bother you most of the time. You'd never asked him to change it or anything. It was attractive to you even.

That was until you started getting small rashes on your face. It always went away after a day or two so you never payed them much mind. Though, you eventually realised the cause of them.

The beard burn wasn't hard to treat so you were doing that in the bathroom until Alex came up behind you.

"What're you up to, huh?" He asked as he pressed his face into your bare neck, the rought stubble prickling your skin.
