Prompt: After the vs adventure... Rai is doing laundry and just so happens to find a black lace bra... (Submitted by anonymous on tumblr.)


For Raimundo, Thursday was always laundry day. It was just the way it always worked out—Omi's was Monday, Clay got Tuesday, Kimiko had Wednesday, and Raimundo ended up with Thursday. It was an arrangement that just worked for the four of them, and it was one that they weren't planning on changing any time soon.

So after he'd washed his dirty clothes and hung them up to dry (which had been an accomplishment in and of itself when he'd first arrived at the temple—it didn't have a washing machine and dryer, after all, though Kimiko had talked about getting one installed soon—though he supposed going to the nearest laundromat was also an option) Raimundo had decided to take a nap until his clothes had properly dried in the afternoon sunlight. When they had dried sufficiently, Raimundo had gone out and gathered all of his clothes into his hamper before taking them back to his little cubicle in the room he shared with the other three monks to fold and properly put away.

Raimundo had folded his sixth shirt and was reaching into the hamper when something that soft and silky brushed against his fingers—it certainly didn't feel like any of the clothes he owned, and so curiosity compelled him to remove it from the hamper to properly examine it.

Part of him rather wished he hadn't, for there in his hand was a lacy black bra. Another part of him wondered how it had gotten in his laundry in the first place—there was no question who the garment belonged to, after all, but Kimiko had done all of her laundry yesterday. And still another part of him couldn't help but feel a bit proud that she'd taken his suggestion to heart after their outing the mall.

But most of him—the part that was mostly survival instincts—was screaming at him, telling him to get rid of the thing before anyone saw and accused him of doing anything unscrupulous. Or, if Kimiko was the one who found him, something decidedly worse.

Which was why, when Kimiko came by sometime later, blushing and strangely fidgety (though perhaps understandably so, in hindsight) to ask if he'd seen the black lace bra in question, he most certainly did not tell her that it was currently stuffed at the bottom of his underwear drawer.

He told her that Dojo had it, instead.
