Prompt: This has no purpose whatsoever. This randomly popped into my head yesterday and was stuck in my head all day, so I decided to write it, for shits and giggles. x) So I hope you enjoy it as much as I did imagining it, lol. xD
Dick - 40
Jason - 38
Kaden - 15
It was that time of year once again; spring. Which meant spring cleaning. Not Kaden's favorite thing to do, but his dad really liked the house neat and tidy, which included his room. Unfortunately, being a teenage boy, his room was kind of a disaster. He was, his father joker, a slob like Dick was. His papa was always leaving things scattered around the apartment, much to his father's annoyance. Kaden himself had been guilty of that on a few occasions, such as kicking his shoes off in the hallway, or leaving a t-shirt draped over the back of the chair.
"NO! Put it in the hamper! Dick, you pick that fucking shirt up and put it in the hamper or I'll break both your legs!" Kaden heard his father shout. Kaden snickered in amusement to himself, covering his mouth, just in case because his parents had really good hearing.
"Relax Jason, it's just a shirt!" Dick called back.
"I don't care, pick it up you fucking slob!"
Kaden soon found himself sitting on his bed dressed in naught but a pair of red dorm pants, struggling not to laugh. His dad was quite serious about keeping the house clean and tidy, but he wasn't as bad as Alfred at least. No one risked spilling anything, not even blood, on any of the carpets or furniture in the manor. When Kaden finally got a hold of himself, he looked around his room and heaved a sigh. Where to begin? Well, first thing was first; he needed music. If he was to clean up his room before his father came to inspect it, he was going to have music. So the teen powered up his computer and loaded up one of his playlists and turned up the volume before getting to work. He started with the clothes littering the floor, grabbing up the various shirts, pants and socks scattered everywhere, putting anything that looked dirty in his own little hamper in the closet. Then he got to cleaning up his bed, which had more clothes, and some books and magazines scattered across it.
Of course once that was said and done and he could see the floor again, it appeared to be a bit dusty. So he made his way out to the kitchen to grab the broom. He raked a hand through his hair and heaved a sigh as he padded back into his room, closing the door behind himself. And so the work began, as he started sweeping up the dust and bits of paper and whatever else was on his floor.
Impossible bored with the task of cleaning, he decided to lighten the mood a bit; he moved over to his desk and flipped changed the song. His fingers and his foot started tapping to the beet as he brushed the floor with the broom. Soon enough he found himself singing along.
"Come and get your love. Come and get your looove!" Kaden started singing, using the end of the broom as a microphone. He grinned from ear to ear, still singing along, a bounce in his step, almost dancing as he continued with the task at hand. He laughed a bit to himself as he started using the broom like an air guitar.
"Hell, what the matter with your feel right don't you feel right baby! Hell oh ya get it from the mainline all right ," he sang out loud, the music blaring as he danced around his room. "Come and get your Lo-" Kaden started again as he spun around and to his dismay, his papa was standing in the doorway, watching him.
Dick's lips tugged into an ear-to-ear grin, his arms crossed, leaning against the doorway as he watched the teen amusedly. He almost laughed at the teen's shocked expressed, his face turning pink as he'd been caught.
"Having fun, are we?" Dick asked with a slight laugh. Kaden's face burned red as he quickly dropped the broom and opened and close his mouth like a fish out of water.
"I was...uh...just-"
"Singing and dancing with the broom?" Dick asked, quirking an eyebrow. Kaden clamped his mouth shout and slowly piked the broom back up.
"How much of that did you see?" he asked. Dick chuckled in amusement and waved his hand dismissively.
"Enough. The music wasn't as loud as you thought it was," Dick answered. Kaden chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck as he looked around the room and found it nice and tidy, save for the pile of dust he'd been sweeping up. Dick grinned again and retreated from the bedroom, returning with a dust pan, helping Kaden gather up the dust. As Dick was leaving, Jason stopped in Kaden's doorway and looked the room over.
"Not bad. Looks nice. Good job kiddo," Jason said with a smile before retreating from the room. Kaden smirked to himself and sat down at his desk. He popped in his headphones and started up another song, this time only mouthing the words so as not to embarrass himself yet again.
