Your POV

Ano ba naman tong bahay na to, parang walang tumitira.

[T: What kind of house is this, it seems like no one lives there.]

Sighing as I was cleaning parts of the house where it would be often used, occasionally sneezing to the dust that was accumulated for maybe a decade.

"Manjiro!" I called with a huff, my brows slightly scrunched.

He slowly peeked over the door, like a kid that knows that he was about to get scolded.

"Yes?" He mumbled as my hands were on my waist.

"Stop staring and start cleaning. Jeez, what if you had some guest over? You have a big house but only use a  bit of space. If I did this, my mom would've scolded me for being impractical." I said

My mouth went out of control and I began to ramble about how he should've maintained the house pr how he should've just bought a smaller place to live in, while I was wiping the windows.

"Lulu-chin, we can just hire someone else to clean that. You're just tiring yourself, also come down from there, it's dangerous." He said as I was on top of the ladder, removing cobwebs.

"Eh kung pwede ka naman pala mag-hire bat di mo ginawa dati?" I said.

[T: If you can do that, why didn't you do it before?]

"Huh?"

I sighed and just before I could translate what I said to him, my clumsy self, slipped off the ladder.

"Luz!"Manjiro exclaimed and before I could reach the floor, I opened my eyes to see that I was in his grasp.

I will never get tired of questioning how he had this kind of strength when he's this thin though not as thin as before when I first met him.

"Are you okay, Lulu-chin?" He asked.

"Yeah, you can put me down now." I said but he sighed and walked towards the sofa.

However, instead of putting me down, he sat down and made me sit on his lap. My mouth slightly opened as my face starts to turn red.

I tried to stand up but he didn't let me,  pulling me closer to him and telling me to stay put. I covered my face out of embarrassment as I was internally panicking

Oh my ghaaadddd!!!

"Lulu-chin, you don't need to clean because I'll call for someone else to do it." He said.

"But I can't just sit and do nothing all day. I have to work or something." I said.

"I told you, there's no need to work since you're here with me." He whispered. His warm breath fanned my neck, making me blush even harder.

JUSKO, MAHIHIMATAY NA ATA AKO DITO!

[T: OMG, I'M GOING TO FAINT!]

"Manjiro, stop that." I said and lightly smacked his arm before trying to stand up once more, only to be pulled and pinned down on the couch.

"M-Manjiro, what are you doing?" I asked as he was looking down at me. He didn't say a word and lay down, his head, lying on my stomach as he hugged me like a pillow.

I froze, like an antelope seeing headlights. He didn't say anything and just fell asleep on top of me.

Ayoko naman gisingin kasi parang ilang taon nang di nakakatulog yung tao. Pero...

[T: I don't want to wake him up because it seems like the person hasn't slept for years. But...]

*grumble*
