Y/N's POV, February 4th 2005

Ten days until the tour and until then there was very little to do expect attend the rehearsals for the shows which have been going on twice a week sometimes three times for the last few months, the plan so far was that I was joining the guys for the entire tour and would bring the kids with us at some point, not exactly sure for how long yet or when but probably in their summer break.

I felt like I had to go on this tour, mainly to make sure tension between Tommy and Vince doesn't bubble up again, and I did miss being on the road. I felt guilty for going away for so long but my parents said they would be fine handling the kids and all three of them said to me that they wanted me to go and that it didn't bother them.

And I promised that if they needed anything or were sick or anything I'd fly straight back and look after them.

I was doing my cleaning session today, trying to clean now so I didn't have to do it and rush it later on in the week before the tour began, but Nikki always made cleaning hard because he never failed to distract me.

He'd followed me upstairs after I had successfully managed to clean all downstairs without interruption though, that ended when I got upstairs, he hopped off the couch and followed me.

I got upstairs and went into the bathroom to tidy it up and just wipe the surfaces down with Nikki watching me, neither of us saying a word to one another. It took me twenty minutes to finish and Nikki never once moved, he just kept watching me and when I finally left the room and began heading towards our bedroom to start cleaning in there too, Nik follows me and this is where I speak up.

"You're lingering... any particular reason for that?"

"You're cleaning, I have to put an end to it."

I rolled my eyes "No, you have to let me do it."

"I don't."

"Yes, you do because I'm the only one who does it."

"Fuck it. I know it needs doing but fuck it."

"You'd be doomed on your own."

"Yeah. I would." Nikki confirmed walking to the bed and threw himself onto it "Good thing I'm not then."

"What are you doing?"

"Starting world war three. What the fuck does it look like I'm doing?" Nikki said sarcastically, throwing both his hands behind his head.

"Okay, I know what you're doing but we're meant to be cleaning? Because if we do it now it won't be as big of a job when we do it before we go on the road."

"Leave it an hour and cuddle with me."

"Nikki-"

"No, it's not that important, please... just leave it an hour."

"An hour. Any longer than that and I'll charge you."

"In what?"

"Every minute over that is a day where we can't cuddle at all."
