Cleaning and Beach Parties

Mumbo and Tango bought a beach house together at the beginning of summer. Although they would constantly have people over, they never threw a party bigger than a guest list of three or four friends. But, they decided to celebrate the end of summer with a big party that would start late afternoon and lead to whoever was still up last.

Thankfully, the date of their party was perfect for Doc and Bdubs.

During the day, Doc was barely able to do anything productive at all because his mind could only focus on the event that night. It wasn't even that he was super excited; it was just a party. But the natural wiring of his brain still kept him unable to do much.

Bdubs understood the feeling, as he got that way often too. Somehow though, he was able to encourage Doc to help him clean around the apartment. As much as he also had the overwhelming urge to not do anything until they had to leave, he knew if he tried to push through the invisible barrier, then his husband would be able to as well.

They started together in the bathroom. Bdubs tackled the bacteria slowly building up in the shower and Doc took on the toilet.

"How're you feeling?" Bdubs asked, sitting up to relieve his posture for a moment.

The toilet was flushed once more as Doc dropped the lid. "Good, actually. Starting to leave that weird mind funk for once. Thanks." The hybrid flashed a smile before taking a wipe to clean the outside of the toilet.

"Of course! I knew if we just sat around, we'd both feel like we wasted the day. But cleaning is good!" He leaned back over to keep scrubbing the floor of the shower.

By the time he began working his way up the walls, Doc was already cleaning the sink and the cabinet mirror.

Bdubs jumped when he heard something spray behind him and turned around to find Doc cleaning the glass door to the shower. "Hey handsome," Doc teased as he wiped the cleaning product. Although the glass wasn't exactly see-through - for obvious reasons - and had more of a mosaic look to it without the color, Bdubs could see the rough shape of his body.

"Hey handsome yourself," he teased back, wiping his cloth over where Doc's face was.

"It's kinda tempting to turn the shower on with you standing in there." At that note, Bdubs stepped out to lightly shove him.

"Don't you dare!" He laughed.

Doc grabbed his hand before he could pull away and tugged him close to steal a kiss. "I promise I won't. This time." He snorted at the comment but kissed his cheek before returning to his cleaning.

After the bathroom, the couple decided to clean out the fridge and the cupboards. "Holy shit!" Doc laughed as he pulled something out from the back of the shelf. He looked at the date and showed it off to Bdubs. "Honey, this box of cake mix expired before I even got here! When's the last time you cleaned out this thing?"

Bdubs sputtered nonsense. "What? That's just the one thing! I keep clean! We keep clean!" He protested. He swiped the box away to stuff it into the trash and Doc could only laugh more.

But he took a second to stare at his husband who went back to looking through the fridge. There used to be a time when Bdubs would wake up in the apartment alone. Clean it alone. He had the place a year and a half before he miraculously stumbled upon Doc at the swing set.

How much have we really changed each other's lives? And how lucky am I to get to live here, with you?

Wrapping his arms around him, he pulled him away from the fridge, letting the door shut as he kept kissing the back of his head. "What's gotten into you?" Bdubs giggled, holding onto his arms.
