You both woke early, stretching and yawning. You cuddle for a little longer, he started stroking your hair as you nuzzle into him.

He gets up and stares. 'no no this will not do' he whined. 'everything is so.. Dirty and unclean. (y/n) we need to start cleaning right away'

You knowing how anxious and whiny he gets over his OCD gets up from bed.

'shall we put some music on to get into a cleaning mood?' You ask. He nods.

Quickly you put on one of his favorate playlists, best of Tchaikovsky and you get to work with him.

'you hungry love?' you ask him after about two hours of tidying.

'No we need to get this done (y/n).' he mummers moving a large amount of vegetables off the table.

'no Thomas, you need to eat something, please?' you ask, coming up behind him.

He looked at the mess then at you.

'fine. Something quick.'

You nod, bring out some noddle pots. He quickly eats it and gets back to work.

You join him and together Finnish the tidying.

He went outside and started fixing the garden, grabbing some tools you fixing the gates and filling holes in the walls.

A woman walks over. Must be the neighbour you thought and you  beckon Thomas over.

'Hello, I'm Bea, I live just over there' she said cheerfully.

'Hi I'm Thomas' your boyfriend says, shaking her hand 'and this is (y/n)'. You shook her hand also.

'we live way over there in London' Thomas says cheerfully. Bea grabs his arm and moves it to point the complete other way and laughs. He also laughs too.

'we are here temporarily' Thomas explains 'I'm going to use the proceeds to buy my own toy store, preferably near harrods so they can witness their own downfall'

You put your hand in his shoulder gently which calmed him down.

'we aren't used to it here' he mumbles.

'we are usually accustomed to London weather you see' you say laughing slightly.

'well it is one of the most beautiful places on earth' she said

'well it just got alot more beautiful' he said, looking down at you smiling.

You go red

'well as long as you don't act like the nasty old man from before' she said

'he was my uncle' Thomas said.

'you didn't let me Finnish! Erm, no offense?' she asks.

'None taken' Thomas said.

'these Gates are very sturdy, you keeping our an alien invasion?' she asks laughing.

'we just need to keep the wildlife out where they belong.' he said, taking your hand.

'Well wildlife belong everywhere' she replied.

'anyway I got you two a gift' she said, handing you a box.

You let Thomas open it.

Ah he says.

'for birdwatching' she says.

'oh they have wings' he said looking through it.

Both you and Bea put their heads in their hands.

'well, your welcome. Just remember to keep the gate open for the wildlife' she says before leaving.

'apsilutely not' he said closing it.
