I woke up to an empty bed. Alfred must have left for work. I remember him telling me he had to go to work early last night. I got up and walked to the door. I suddenly felt very dizzy so I leaned on the wall. I took deep breaths until my vision cleared up. I headed to the living room and looked around. His house was quite messy. I looked around the house for cleaning supplies and once I got the things I needed, I got to work.
...
Alfred was walking home when he stopped at the store. He decided to buy some fish for Kiku. He was unnaturally skinny, so he needed to eat something. Since Alfred wasn't sure what Kiku liked, he decided fish was the best option, since he bought that for him once and Kiku had enjoyed it. After he got what he needed, he headed home.
When he got home, he thought he walked into the wrong home. It was to clean to be his house. He was about to walk out, but Kiku walked into the living room. He was breathing heavily and his cheeks were red. Alfred closed the door and walked over.
"Welcome home, Alfred," Kiku said as he smiled up at Alfred. Alfred sat the groceries down and took the cleaning supplies from Kiku. He led him over the couch and sat Kiku down, feeling his forehead.
"You're burning up," he said as he looked at Kiku worriedly. Kiku shook his head.
"No, I'm fine. I'm almost done cleaning," he said as he tried to get up but Alfred kept him down.
"Kiku you need to rest. You didn't have to clean my house." Kiku looked up at him with a cute face and Alfred couldn't help but blush.
"Yes I did. I needed to show my appreciation to you for letting me stay here."
Alfred sighed and rubbed Kiku's head. Kiku looked up at him in surprise.
"Thanks Kiku. It looks nice," Alfred smiled at him and Kiku blushed.
"Your welcome Alfred," he said as he looked away. Alfred took his hand away and walked over to the groceries bags. He picked them up and looked back at Kiku.
"Get some rest, okay? I'll call you when dinner's ready," he said as he walked into the kitchen. Kiku stretched and laid down.
...
When dinner was done, Alfred walked into the living room.
"Dinner's ready," he said and Kiku sat up slowly. Alfred walked over and helped him up. Kiku smiled.
"Thanks."
"No problem dude!"
They ate dinner in silence. Alfred watched Kiku carefully, he looked like he would pass out any moment. After they were done eating dinner and Alfred washed the dishes, they decided to go to bed. Alfred was almost asleep when he felt Kiku snuggle closer to him. He smiled and wrapped his arms around him before drifting off to sleep.
