It's Not That Bad by Yaoi Girl

*At Yamato's house*

Holding back his laughter for a moment, Yamato managed, "I thought I'd never see the day you had your hair pulled back! How long did that take you?"

"Oh, shut-up and tell me where to start," he snorted. "And if you don't like my hair up, or if you're going to keep making fun of me about it, I'll take it out."

Smiling and shaking his head, the blonde replied, "I like your hair like that. Why haven't you ever worn it like that before?"

"Because I don't want people teasing me like you do," he huffed as he began removing various objects from the entertainment center and placing them carefully on the floor or coffee table, then he grabbed for his dust rag and cleaner, spraying the top and wiping everything clean before moving on to the shelves and television screen.

"Whatever. You just don't like people giving you complements because you don't know how to accept them," Yamato said while turning to the computer stand on the opposite end of the room. "Are you almost done dusting that?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Cause I need your cloth; I have to do laundry too, so there's no clean towels I can use or anything."

"Why don't you use paper towels?"

"Because I have to go shopping and that's on the list."

Taichi turned to him. "How often do you do housework and go shopping?!"

Yamato grabbed the rag and cleaner that was throw in his direction from the air and began to dust the computer area. "I clean the house like this about once a month and go shopping for non-food stuff about once every two weeks, unless it's an emergency related thing."

"Like what kind of emergency?" Taichi asked as he began to put things back on the entertainment center.

"Like spilling something that will stain on the carpet and we don't want to ruin the towels and we're out of paper towels."

"If you say so. Hey, why's this picture of me in here?" the brunette inquired as he stared at it, having not noticed it when he was taking things off the shelves earlier.

Blushing, but Taichi not being able to see it due to him facing the computer, Yamato replied, "Because…because, dad considers you part of the family."

"Then why doesn't he have a picture of Takeru up here?"

"He keeps it in his room; then again, the only picture he has of Takeru is from when we were young, and I was in it too. That was taken when my dad and mom were still together."

"Why doesn't he have a new picture?"

"Because he hardly ever sees Takeru, and I never think about asking him for a picture; I see him enough I don't need one really."

"Oh. Well, I'm done with this. What next?" he asked as he set the picture back in its spot.

"Let's see…we have dishes, laundry, vacuuming, and shopping left. So what 'fun' chore should we do next?"

"How about I vacuum and you start laundry; I can help you with dishes when I'm done."

"Sounds like a plan."

With that, Yamato headed down the hall to the laundry room and Taichi to the hallway closet to retrieve the vacuum cleaner.

'Now how do you change the bag? It's completely full!' Taichi pondered as he stared at the puffed up and dusty exterior of the bag.

As Yamato finished loading the washer and turned the dial, he heard a loud 'POP' coming from somewhere in the house, but where?

He took off running down the hall to find the source of the noise, only to find a cloud of dust flying throughout the living room.

"Taichi!" he coughed. "What the hell did you do?!"

As the dust began to settle, he seen Taichi's sheepish grin. "The bag ripped?"

Yamato laughed. "You mean 'you' ripped it, didn't you?"

Still grinning, Taichi replied, "Maybe…"

"C'mon, lets get a new bag and get this mess cleaned up."

The blonde exchanged the ripped bag for a new one and left Taichi to vacuum while he headed off for the kitchen to begin sorting dishes.

"Done already?" Yamato asked about five minutes later when a dusty Taichi entered the kitchen.

"Yeah; so am I washing or rinsing?"

"Rinsing. You know we're both going to have to take a shower and change clothes before we go shopping; we're covered in dust from your 'accident'," Yamato said as he began to fill the sink with warm water and soap.

"But, I don't have any clothes here, remember?"

"Taichi, it's not like you're three hundred pounds bigger than I am; you can fit into my clothes just fine."

Rinsing off the first of the clean, sudsy dishes, the brunette asked, "Will we both have time to take a shower and go shopping before your dad gets home?"

Azure eyes widened considerably as Yamato nearly dropped the plate he was washing. "Now that you mention it, I don't think we will…"

"So, what are we going to do about that little problem?"

"Well, um…" he thought as he washed a couple more dishes, Taichi waiting patiently for an answer.

"You know, we could just take a shower together; it's not like we have something neither one of has seen before or anything…" Taichi said casually with a shrug as he placed a clean plate in the dish drainer.

*SHATTER*
