Kiss on the Ear: Kitty x Eric

She couldn't believe he had actually meant it.

Sure he had threatened to do it but she hadn't thought he actually would.

Yet as she stared at the stack of dishes tilting towards the floor and filling both sinks, she saw that he had totally meant it.

Letting out a loud, long groan, Kitty went back into her bedroom. If she was going to tackle that mess she was going to need tunes.

Scanning through her play lists, she silently acknowledged that the leaning towers of Pisa replicas were partially her fault, she really should have just washed them that one time when it was her turn but he had been such a smug jerk about it that she had just refused to do it.

Which had lead to him refusing to wash them either, which had lead to this.

But to be fair, she had honestly thought that a man that would lecture her about keeping her rooms clean would have done something about it before it got this bad.

Obviously she had underestimated his sheer stubbornness.

She really need to stop doing that.

And yes, maybe she should have actually paid attention to how tall the piles were getting instead of just sticking her dishes up on them, but... but...if she had he would have won and she just didn't want him to win. Was that so horrible?!

Of course she realized by her doing this that meant he had won anyways.

Darn him.

Finally deciding to use her heavy metal play list, ( it seemed rather appropriate given the circumstances)Kitty rolled up her sleeves and resolved to put all thoughts of Eric Lehnsherr out of her head.

For about ten minutes this plan worked. Then she started in on the dishes that had been there for at least four days.

They must have had some kind of pasta dish that day, what she couldn't recall but whatever it was neither of them had soaked their dishes.

Which meant everything was stuck on there like glue.

Putting all of her muscle into it as she plied the scrub brush across the dishes, she began to sing to herself to the tune of the song blaring from her ear buds. "Why oh why, do we not have a dishwasher? I am scrubbing something that looks like it belongs to a Bio-Hazard and I bet that jerk won't even say anything about me cleaning all of this!"

She was off key and it didn't rhyme but she didn't care. Just saying it out loud relieved some of the anger that had been building up in her chest.

Then one of her ear buds fell out of her ear.

Letting out a small growl of frustration, she tilted her head to the side and lifted her shoulder hoping she could somehow get the bud back into her ear. An impossible task really but she had to try. She had gotten a good groove going with her scrubbing and she really didn't want to pull one of her hands out for a stupid ear bud.

Just as she was to give in to the inevitable, a gentle hand grasped the bud and slipped it back in.

Then if that wasn't a big enough surprise a feather soft touch of lips on the top of her ear made her heart pound and her cheeks flush hot.

A small eep escaped her lips as her brain started screaming at her. "Did he just kiss my ear? What!? What was that for? Was that a thank you? Why on earth would he?"

Spinning around, Kitty glimpsed his lean form as he left the room all of her questions dying on her lips as she struggled to get her head around what just happened.

Turning back to the sink Kitty let her head drop down on the ledge, a groan exiting her lips as the loudest, most prominent question continued to ring through her mind.

"Why did I like it?"
