AUTHOR'S POV

It's a normal mid-week evening and although Laurent normally works later than Larry as a sound engineer in a recording studio this particular night is what's considered a typical time of getting off. It's about 6 pm and he's on his way home excited that he's had a productive day with the artists he's worked with but as always the topper to everyday is seeing Larry. He's currently unaware that Larry isn't in the greatest of moods. He's spent the last several hours giving hip hop dance lessons at his studio so he's really tired. He arrives home just a minute before Laurent and when he walks inside it's a complete mess. Items such as empty water bottles and food wrappers are on the coffee table. In the kitchen the dishes are beginning to pile up and there are a few articles of clothing draped over the couch. He blows out a frustrated sigh as he drops his keys on the table then proceeds to start cleaning up. About a minute or so later Laurent walks in and unlike Larry he's perky so his greeting to Larry reflects that mood...

Laurent: *smile* "Hey sexy". 

Larry: *mumbles* "Hey". 

Laurent: *looks confused* "What's wrong?

Larry: "It's a mess in here Laurent". *sigh* "Can you please keep your clothes in the bedroom from now on? The clothes in here are all yours".

Laurent: "Oki bebe. I'm sorry". 

Laurent's voice is low and nearly saddened when he said that and Larry is sure it's because of the way he said it so...

Larry: "I didn't mean to snap at you but after long days like today I don't want to come home and clean". 

Laurent: "It's oki and I understand. I'll do my part and I'll help you clean up now". 

Larry: "Thank you". 

Laurent: "No problem". 

Right away Laurent gets to work picking up his clothes and taking them to the bedroom. When he comes back out he does some dusting and straightening as well as taking the trash out. Laurent comes to help Larry with the dishes and he sees Larry is still irritated so he does things to try and evoke laughter from him such as goofy faces. Larry seems unaffected for the most part although he does smirk at Laurent taking the soapy suds from the dishwater and either making a beard and mustache with them or plopping a large poof of them on his head...but mostly he just has a blank face...

Laurent: "Come on bebe. Cheer up". 

Larry: "I'm tired Laurent". 

Laurent nods and will let it go for now so he continues cleaning. Afterward he sits down at the kitchen table and watches Larry sweep the floor. Several minutes go by and the home is pretty spotless now. Larry's mood is seemingly beginning to shift but Laurent wants to make sure he's relaxed so...

Laurent: "Can I give you a massage bebe"? 

Larry: "Thanks Laurent but no". 

Larry's response signals that he isn't irritated anymore, or at least it seems that way, so he decides to be goofy Laurent again...

Laurent: "Can you give me one? It's my neck". 

Larry: "Aww your neck hurts"?

Laurent: "Yeah".
