A Cycle For Two - 26

DA note: NGL, I actually had fun writing this.

Go on and judge me but I'm gonna use my Asian ways of washing clothes.

IDC what services are provided in America. (XD)

Trigger warning: Mentions of blood.

~~~~~~~

          Earth carefully wrapped bandage around Mix's hand, "I... I'm really sorry, I didn't mean that." He said not looking up.

          They were currently in Earth's bathroom. Earth was dressing Mix's hand over the sink, a nasty scene of blood, which had dripped from his hand, trailing down to the drain of the sink, was beneath their hands.

          Earth had gotten the first aid kit from the kitchen after Mix coaxed him into letting Mix help him and coming out of the room.

          Earth was feeling really bad about it and it was adding to all of his frustrations.

          Before it became a lump in the throat, Earth decided to do this now; Apologize to Mix.

          Mix looked up at Earth as he cut the bandage. A soft curl came up to the corner of his lips before he could stop,

          "I know, it's okay, I forgive you. Besides, it will heal soon. While I go and reheat the breakfast, you take a shower— You stink, I won't lie."

          Earth finally looked up and met Mix's eyes after closing the said box, "But how will you do it? You have an injured hand,"

          The outer corners of Mix's lips curled slightly more as he let out a breath, "I only need to microwave the porridge. You better shower quickly."

          Mix took the box from his left hand and met Earth's eyes again,

          "After that, we have a long list of chores to go through,"

          And Earth wouldn't lie, he saw that same flicker go through his eyes and features.

          The flicker of mischievousness.

          "You do this everyday?"

          Earth huffed as he picked the dripping clothes from the tub and put them in the spinner.

          Mix, who was standing just at the door of the laundry room, leaning to the side, with his arms folded and said,

          "Well, laundry is not everyday. But with everything that's been happening, I decided to do it today and then this happened."

          He slightly lifted his right hand and then put it back.

          Earth closed the lid of the spinner and said to himself, "What was the point of showering then?"

          "Because you stank like the fart of a skunk." Earth paused, his eyes at Mix who turned his head just in time to lock eyes with him.

          But it was very unexpected.

          Mix saw Earth's lips twitching up as he burst out laughing. A few chuckles escaped Mix's mouth seeing Earth laugh like that. He looked down and shook his head slightly.

          Earth calmed down as Mix said, "Chop chop, come on, hurry up. You also have to cook dinner after hanging the laundry,"
