Just a oneshot challenge fic I made today. -- My spacing went wonky when I posted it which was slightly embarassing. Go me --'' R&R is loved
Heero wandered throughout the house looking for clothing that had been carelessly dropped by a certain braided young man. It amazed him when he found clothes in the strangest places. He never did find out how a pair of Duo's socks ended up in the freezer that one time.
He sighed as he mentally checked off all possible places clothes could be and then made his way to the laundry room. It wasn't that he disliked doing laundry, it was just the chore that took him the longest. Heero had even put a basket in Duo's room for dirty laundry, yet clothes could be still found bunched up in the corner of the couch or hanging from the lampshade in Duo's room.
As he sorted the clothes could hear Duo in the kitchen getting out the pots and pans. It surprised Heero that he was actually up this early on a Saturday.
Once the clothes were in the washer he sat down on the only chair in the small laundry room and began to read. As he waited he could hear the occasional clatter or curse from the kitchen. Heero figured he had lots of time to do laundry as it took Duo a long time to prepare any kind of meal.
Eventually the washer stopped and Heero had to throw the clothes into the dryer. He made sure he put in the "magic sheet" as Duo called it. One time he forgot and all week Duo complained about his laundry not smelling or feeling right. Heero rolled his eyes at the memory and started up the dryer. He then put the second load of lights into the washer along with the carefully measured laundry soap and started up the machine.
As he sat down to read again he heard footsteps coming toward the room. The next moment the door opened slightly and Duo's head poked in.
"Breakfast will be ready soon Heero." He announced over the noise.
"Is it edible?" Heero asked innocently.
"I'm not gonna poison you." Replied Duo in a slightly agitated voice.
"I know, but you don't seem very alert yet either." Heero stated and started reading again. He heard Duo snort as he closed the door and almost smiled. He would never admit it but he loved to tease Duo, especially when the braided menace just woke up. That way his mind wasn't actually functioning enough to think of a smart remark.
About twenty minutes later the dryer stopped and Duo called him for breakfast. Heero quickly took the clothes out and put them in a basket. He remembered Duo saying once that he liked the smell of clothes right after they had been washed. Heero closed his eyes, pulled something out of the basket and took a deep breath of it. It did smell nice.
"Heero what are you doing?" Heero's eyes shot open when Duo's voice sounded from the doorway.
"Smelling the laundry." He replied.
"Okay.."Duo sounded small. "But do you have to smell my underwear?"
Heero looked down to find a pair of Duo's white briefs in his hands, then frowned.
Yeah just something I thought up today. I'm having trouble with my formating I guess.. what a pain.
