Silent

Chapter 26

They walk into Avi's living room and Tim sets his bag down and looks around.

"Well?" Avi ask, looking up at his lover.

"Not bad. You have a beautiful home." Tim commented.

"Thank you. So do we need to change anything in here." Avi asked looking around the room.

"No, not really." Tim said walking over to the couch and straightened the pillows. He turns back around to see Avi smiling at him. He shrugs his shoulders and smiles. "Sorry."

Avi walks up to him sliding his arms around Tim's waist. "Don't be sorry. If anything makes you uncomfortable, change it."

"The pillows were crooked." Tim smiles shyly.

"Well, it's gonna be more than crooked pillows in the kitchen. I don't put my cans in alphabetical order." Avi smiled.

"I don't do that. I just have to have the labels turned a certain way. But now that you mentioned it, putting them in alphabetical order is a good idea." Tim chuckled as Avi rolled his eyes. "You know I'm joking, right?"

Avi takes him by the hand and leads him to the kitchen. Praying that he doesn't have a panic attack.

The kitchen was beautiful and clean just a few things not organized on the counters. Tim walked up to the counter straightening the toaster and can opener.

"It's not that bad. The way you talked, I was expecting a total disaster." Tim said looking around. Taking the time to organize the salt and pepper shakers and the napkin holder on the dining room table.

Avi taps him on the shoulder. "You ain't seen nothing yet." He motions Tim to follow him to the cabinets.

Avi opens the cabinet and looks at Tim to see a look of horror come across the man's face.

"Oh my God." Tim whispers and then opens the next cabinet. He hangs his head, covering his eyes with his hand. "Now, you're killing me." He said. He quickly close the doors as if, if he looked at it any longer he would start to hyperventilate.

Avi laughed. "We'll get it all organized for you, I promise. Now come on, I'll show you the rest of the house."

Tim grabs his bag as they come back through the living room and follows Avi up stairs. Avi shows him the two guest bedrooms and then they go to the master's.

"This is the master's. You will be staying in here with me, won't you?" Avi asked, biting his bottom lip.

"Well, I was planning on it. I thought that was part of living together." Tim smiled.

"Just making sure." Avi smiled giving Tim a soft kiss.

"It's pretty neat in here. Nothing is jumping out at me." Tim chuckles.

"The bathroom will probably need some work." Avi said with a worried look.

"Well, maybe we should wait to see it. I'm still recuperating from the kitchen." Tim laughed, setting his bag on the bed.

"Good. I'll show you the basement now." Avi takes Tim by the hand and leads him back down the stairs and then to a door leading to the basement.

They go down the steps and Tim's jaw drops as he looks around.

The basement was huge. The floor was covered with tile. He opens a door to find a small closet, perfect for the girls jackets.

He was completely speechless. Avi takes him by the arm and leads him to another door.

"Check this out." Avi smiles as he opens the door to a small half bathroom.

"Oh my God." Tim said as he walked inside. A toilet, sink and a mirror. Everything the girls would need. "Baby, this is perfect."

"And the back door." Avi said unlocked the door and opened it.

Tim looks out and sees a sidewalk leading straight to the door. "So does that lead to the drive way?"

"Yep, the parents can drop them off and they can come straight to the class room." Avi said rubbing Tim on the back.

Tim closes the door and locks it. He pulls Avi into his arms.

"Thank you, for all of this." Tim said, smiling down at Avi.

"You're welcome. I just want you happy." Avi said wrapping his arms around Tim's neck.

"You make me happy. This is nice and I'll be forever grateful. But being with YOU is what makes me happy. I love you so much" Tim said giving Avi a tender kiss.

"I love you too, Baby." Avi said before giving him a tight hug.

"Oh! I need to go make some phone calls. We need a moving van and I need to call some of the guys to help move. Oh, and I need the number to that light alarm thingy." Avi said before running back up the steps.

Tim smiles then looks back around at the basement. He walks up the stairs and stops at the door, turning the lights off to his classroom.
