Zed was busily washing the dishes and humming BAMM to himself, his mind preoccupied as his hands scrubbed a dirty dinner plate. He rinsed off the suds and grabbed a drying towel, wiping it down then putting it away. He repeated the action over and over, washing plates, silverware, and glasses.
Then suddenly, "Having fun in here?" Zed jumped and gasped at the unexpected voice of his fiancé in the doorway, dropping the glass he'd just cleaned to shatter against the tile floor.
"Good Z, Addison! Why do you always sneak up on me?!" He exclaimed. Addison giggled and grabbed the broom and dust pan.
"Oh, did I scare you, big boy?" She teased with a pouty lip. Zed narrowed his eyes at her and snatched the broom out of her hand.
"I'm getting you back for that." He threatened. Addison couldn't hold back her laugh.
"You've never been successful in the past, but whatever you say!" She teased further. Zed grumbled grouchily to himself as he swept up the shards while Addison held the pan for him.
Once they had the mess cleaned up. Zed tried giving Addison the silent treatment and avoiding looking at her like a pouting child. She giggled and hopped up on the counter to sit beside the sink.
"Are you mad at me?" She asked. Zed didn't respond, just kept his eyes on his hands as they continued to wash. She grabbed one of his hands and he finally looked up at her. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." She apologized sincerely. He searched her eyes for a moment then sighed, quickly drying his hands and stepping between her knees. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on her shoulder.
"I know." He mumbled into her shirt. Addison hugged him tight as a small smile spread over her lips.
