There's always one day of the week that Satine has designated to cleaning her and Peter's room, while he continues with school. He's offered help many times, but she has an order of doing things and prefers and he doesn't mess with it, because she's somewhat of a control freak when it comes to things like this. So, instead, he spends his morning focused hard on his school, while she watches TV around him.

She starts on the bed and tosses the sheets on the floor to exchange them with a brand new, clean set. She rolls up the dirty ones and stuffs them in the hamper before she leaves to head towards the laundry room, where she happens to find Sam.

As soon as she steps in and spots him, they both squint their eyes at each other. He raises a brow as she places the basket on the floor, just moments before Bucky walks in to find the stand-off.

"Of course." He sighs and Satine chuckles while turning away to stick the blankets into one of the multiple washers. "Quit." He points for Sam to turn away and he does so with a grin.

"Daddy's mad..." Satine sings quietly and Bucky's eyes go wide as Sam bursts into laughter, hunched over the dryer in front of him, making her laugh too.

"God, you two need help." He chuckles while shaking his head and crossing his arms.

"Immediate." Satine presses start and exits the room, leaving the basket and dirty clothes behind.

She makes her way back to the room and closes the door before she heads off to clean the bathroom next. Afterwards, she checks the laundry, then the vanity before she moves on to clean the floor, which means Peter has to lift his feet a few times. She does the same routine with the laundry again to grab the sheets to make the bed.

Sitting at the end of the bed, Satine has clothes, folded and messy, surrounding her. Her eyes lock onto the TV in front of her as her hands guide her around the shapes of cloths to be able to fold it.

She pushes her hair behind her ear while she stands to look down at her work. She leans down into the basket and continues on before she looks up at Peter. Her eyes flicker back towards him after she had looked away when she realizes that he's staring directly at her with his chin on his fist. His brows raise with a grin as she slowly smiles in confusion.

"What's up?"

"You're pretty."

"Thank you." She furrows her brows slightly before she chuckles. "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." He shrugs while sitting up. "I just like looking at you."

"You know, you're pretty too." She grins with a nod while picking up the piles to put in the dresser and he smiles. "You're also spending so much time on that, are you almost done?" She complains and he turn back to the screen.

"Uh, no." He sighs. "I've got about an hour left."

She sighs in disappointment and crawls onto the bed, as she's finally able to relax and lay down. She turns on her side to face him, but she continues to watch TV with her head on his pillow, taking up all the space on his side of the bed, while he just grins over at her. He turns back to his work while shaking his head, admiring everything about her.

Satine heads off to use the toilet and opens the door when she's done before she turns to wash her hands in the sink. She shakes her hair behind her shoulder before a few fingers take over to help pull it all back, making her slowly grin. A pair of hands finds her waist and inches down her front to pull her closer by the hips.

"Are you done?" She hopes softly and he nods against the side of her head, chin on her shoulder. "Finally." She turns her face into his and they close their eyes.

"I think it's nap time." He jokes and she chuckles tiredly.

"Please?" She brushes her fingertips down his cheek.

He lifts his head and takes her hand to pull her out of the room. Friday darkens the windows for them to keep the sunlight minimal as they crawl in bed together.

"School takes up too much of your time." She lays on her side and he pulls her closer to his front.

"I know, I'm sorry." He hugs her tight with his arm under her head, so she can hold his hand. "I'm graduating soon, though. Within months you'll have me all to yourself." He whispers and she smiles a bit.

"I can't wait."
