On Kyungsoo's hands were a vacuum cleaner, a bucket half-filled with water, and a dirty, wet cloth. He was busy the whole day as it was his designated spring cleaning day. After cleaning the master suite, Kyungsoo wondered where was his legend of travel as he hadn't seen Kai since lunchtime. With his partner on his mind, Kyungsoo entered the final room for the day— the study slash mini-library. It was no surprise to Kyungsoo when he saw Kai inside, deeply immersed in reading a book.
"I didn't know you were here," Kyungsoo put the feather duster on a shelf and gently placed the vacuum on the floor.
Temporarily closing his book, Kai stood from the chaise lounge and enveloped Kyungsoo in a loose embrace, "I've been here all afternoon. What were you doing?"
"I was cleaning the entire house. It has been almost four months since I did my last spring cleaning," Kyungsoo glanced at his current state. "I look like a mess."
"Nonsense, you still look beautiful. By the way, aren't you tired yet?" Kai was concerned.
"I am. But this is the last remaining room I haven't cleaned yet," Kyungsoo mentioned. "Besides, I already dusted the books and all the furniture in here just last week so I just need to vacuum the floor and maybe wipe down the furniture."
"Do I need to move or should I stay?"
"You can stay if I'll not bother you too much."
With that, Kai returned to his chaise lounge. Taking that as his cue, Kyungsoo started wiping the furniture, wiping down the nooks and crannies. Kyungsoo also took that opportunity to rearrange the books to how he preferred. His work might have been tedious but just the mere presence of Kai made everything better for Kyungsoo.
On the other hand, Kai continued reading his book. He really wanted to hold Kyungsoo's hand while the other was cleaning but he knew that it would only slow down the other. He had to restrain himself in order not to get in the way of his partner's cleaning. Occasionally, he was stealing glances, appreciating the beauty that was Kyungsoo
"Are you done?" Kai asked when Kyungsoo suddenly flopped down on top of him.
"Yes," Kyungsoo's answer was muffled. "But I need to prepare for dinner now."
"Just rest for a while, Soo. Take a nap if you want. I'll wake you in an hour," Kai offered.
Kyungsoo graciously took the offer. While he did not fall asleep, he was extremely comfortable on top of Kai who was running his hand up and down Kyungsoo's back in a steady manner while still reading his book.
When Kyungsoo deemed it was time, he stood up to prepare dinner. Once he reached the kitchen, Kyungsoo opened the fridge and pulled out the ingredients he would use for tonight's menu. Without missing a beat, dinner preparation was in progress.
Meanwhile, Kai followed his partner ten minutes later. He was greeted by the sight of Kyungsoo chopping some stuff up with his back facing Kai. At long last, Kai will be able to free himself from his restraints earlier. Kyungsoo was slightly taken aback when a pair of arms snaked around his waist and a heavy weight landed on his shoulders.
"What are you cooking, Soo?" Kai airily whispered directly to Kyungsoo's ears.
"Nini, do that one more time and you're not allowed to hold or kiss me for a month," Kyungsoo threatened.
"I'm sorry, okay? But seriously though, what are you cooking?" Kai continued to cling to Kyungsoo like a koala.
"Can't you see? I'm cooking dinner," Kyungsoo sarcastically answered.
