Morning Routines

Ling hummed to himself soulfully as he walked to the bathroom, completely naked. Nodding his head to a beat only he could hear, he turned on the water and adjusted the shower head pressure to perfectly in-between intense skin pounding and soft rain.

"Ba-bow-bada-boooow," he rhymed softly, as he tested the water's heat and hopped on in. "With a little bada-booooow."

The door he left wide open was suddenly shut, signaling that Lan Fan had exited the bedroom and entered the kitchen.

He filled his hand with shampoo and, as he began to massage it onto his scalp, started to sing as loud as possible.

"MY MIND IS TELLIN' ME NOOOOOOOOOO! BUT MY BOOODDDYYY~ Lan fan? LAN FAN?!"

There was a small pause, before he heard her groan, "What, Ling?"

"MY BOOODYYY IS TELLIN' ME YEEEEEEE-EH-HEEEEEESSSSUH!"

The door swung wide open. "Please, for the love of god, stop."

"Only if you join meee!" he sang.

He heard her grumble, but in a few moments, Lan Fan was slipping passed the curtain and into the shower with him. He smirked as a shiver caused her skin to prickle.

"Bit nippily, eh?" he joked, and, as he placed his hands atop her shoulders, swapped spots so that she could warm up.

She glared darkly before dipping her head back into the hot water. "Don't make me hurt you."

"Feisty," he added, passing Lan Fan her shampoo. "So, what's on the agenda for today?"

"Nothing yet," she responded, eyes closed as she worked the light-scented suds through her dark hair. "We actually have this weekend free."

"Oh really?" he mused, placing a hand on her bare hip for balance as he grabbed a bar of soap. "I think we should utilize this rare occurrence to the fullest."

"Agreed," she replied, and lightly pecked Ling's shoulder as they traded spots once more. "Alphonse is leaving for school this Sunday. I say we through him a party."

"I like the way you think, Lanny," he smiled, as he washed away the soapy residue from his arms. "Costume party?"

"Sounds doable," Lan Fan said, lathering her body wash and applying it to her upper body.

"You're doable," Ling oozed.

Lan Fan rolled her eyes as they switched places for a final time. "We are literally washing ourselves off from this morning. You need a turn off button."

"Sorry, my dearest," Ling sighed, as he lightly kissed her cheek. "I'm pretty sure you broke that the moment I met you."

"You are the definition of 'cheesy'," she smiled.

"Good thing you're not lactose intolerant," he replied, eyebrows wagging.

"Get out!" Lan Fan ordered, albeit with a laugh. "At least let me eat breakfast before you try to pounce again."

"I'll get that started!" Ling announced, and jumped out of the shower.

Lan Fan didn't hear him enter the bedroom to get dressed, and began to hope that they remembered to lock their front door the night before, so that no one walked in on a naked Ling cooking eggs and bacon…. again.
