I Can't Do Housework.!
‘Housework and such, I’d like someone who’s good at taking proper care of things around her.’
Tatsuya put down the Wink Up magazine and stays glued on his couch. He silently inspects his living room thoroughly. There on top of the plasma TV, an empty cup of ramen could be visibly spot as if it’s a decoration there. A used shirt was hung carelessly at the end of the couch he sat on, numerous boxes of his comic books’ collection is scattered everywhere as if a tornado has strike inside his apartment. He then diverts his gaze to his kitchen. He hasn’t yet washed the dishes he used for his lunch and breakfast, and it’s almost midnight now.
“Shit.! I’m such a lazy bum.” Tatsuya talked to himself and he started to pick the unnecessary things lying on the floor. He twitched slightly when he realized that he’s no good in this kind of things. Feeling slightly disappointed with himself, Tatsuya throws the trash harshly onto the floor again.
“How on earth could Yuichi loves me.? I thought he likes someone who can do housework.?”
Tatsuya mumbles on his own as he walks aimlessly around his apartment. He stopped dead in front of a small table beside the plasma TV. A photo frame stands proudly there as it showed the happy moment between the RobaMaru couple after the concert last week. Yuichi was wrapping his arm around Tatsuya’s shoulders as he blew something on Tatsuya’s ear while Tatsuya smiles widely on that. Obviously, he still remembered how Kame laughs while taking their photo, and both Junno and Koki were whistling teasingly behind Kame.
“Is he being real.?” Tatsuya whispered slowly as he picks up the photo frame. “Don’t fool me, Yui-chan… I hate that..”
Those were the last words before Tatsuya flips over the frame on the table. He turns off the light and completely forgotten about his wrecked up house. He’ll deal with it tomorrow.

“Holy shit.! What happened to you, Uepopu.?”
Koki cowered down on the couch as he saw Tatsuya walks grudgingly into their dressing room. Koki could swear that he saw a walking zombie just now if not for the gold chain Tatsuya’s wearing.
“Shut up.. You made my headache worse..” Tatsuya said grudgingly as he flopped himself on the couch opposing the rapper.
“Headache.? Don’t tell me you’re sleeping late again. What now.? Boxing.? New song.? Clubbing.?” Koki listed out the possibilities although he knew the last one should be scratched out.
“None of it.”
Koki was about to add more when the door was wide open, revealing Kame together with Junno and Yuichi. Yuichi, upon seeing his boyfriend, walks happily and bouncing to Tatsuya, regarding the obvious fact that Tatsuya is currently not in the mood and Koki is silently waving his hands off for Yuichi to read the real situation.
“Morning, babe.” Yuichi wrapped his arm around Tatsuya and was attempted to give a morning kiss to Tatsuya but all he kissed is someone’s….palm..?
“Stay away.” The short, black haired man glared at Yuichi and he pushed Yuichi’s face away, a rare thing that could be seen from this couple.
Kame, Koki and Junno were some kind amused seeing the devastated look on Yuichi’s face as the oldest man started to inches closer towards Tatsuya.
“What’s wrong with you.? Anything happened.? Did someone messed up with you again.?” Yuichi asked worriedly, his hand tried to grab Tatsuya’s hand, but all he got is a cold shrugged off.
“You’re the one who’s messing with me.” Tatsuya rose from his seat and proceeds to sit in front of his dressing table.
“Eh..? What did I do.?”
Yuichi swear he could even hear his own heartbeat once he said that. He turns around to meet his unsuspected silent band mates. Kame is currently crossed his arms on his chest, inspecting Yuichi as if the older man had done the cruelest crime. Koki is still glued on his seat, afraid to even open his mouth when he saw the now gone ballistic Tatsuya. And Junno….
Yuichi almost falls off the couch when he saw Junno. ‘When did he get his DS out.??’
Yuichi thought inwardly as he typically stares at the KY Junno who is now playing his game console. He then sighs inwardly and decided to deal with his PMS-ing boyfriend. Although some part of him is somehow scared towards this side of Tatsuya, he knows he’s the only one that can solve this.
“Tatsuya..” Yuichi slowly wrapped his arms around Tatsuya from the back; silently he prayed that Tatsuya won’t nudge his stomach with his elbow. “Care to tell me what happened.? What have I done.?”
Tatsuya shuts his eyes as Yuichi whispered silently on his ears. He made a mental note for not falling to this man’s trick. No matter how tempting the older man is, Tatsuya swears he won’t give in to Yuichi.
Receiving no response from his lover, Yuichi then looks at the reflected image on the mirror, portraying his image and also Tatsuya. He could see that Tatsuya is trying hard to cover his face, but with no copper bang that can covered his face, it’s a major failure. Yuichi then nuzzles his face onto Tatsuya’s fluffy, black hair. He really loves doing that since Tatsuya shaved his hair.
“Owh, come on. Spare me that moment please.” Yuichi could hear Koki’s voice from behind, whining incoherently about the Maruda’s intimate moment. But Yuichi knows, Kame would surely shut Koki’s mouth soon.
“Ne.. What have I done.? Why won’t you talk to me.?” Yuichi whispers slowly, only for Tatsuya’s hearing.
Out of a sudden, Tatsuya stood up from his chair, completely caught Yuichi off guard. If not for the couch behind him, Yuichi swore he would fall flat on the floor. Then, a shocking reaction from Tatsuya made the KT-TN to stare wide eyed at him.
With teary eyes, Tatsuya clumsily tried to wipe them away and walks pass Yuichi to exit the room. The room then falls into the silent mode as all of the remaining members couldn’t cope with what had just happened. Sure as hell they know well that Tatsuya is such a sensitive human being, but to get all eyes teary like that without reasons, that’s really something new.
“What have you done man.?” Koki asked once he got his composure again.
“I..I don’t know…” Yuichi stares at the now closed door and he runs his hand on his jet black hair. “What have I done.?”
“Maybe you said something that hurt him unintendedly.?” Kame tried, he now got his arms off his chest.
“I don’t think so. I mean, we might talk animatedly with some teasing, but I think we’re both used to it now.” Yuichi shrugs his shoulder nonchalantly on that. A fact that can’t be denied between them.
“Or maybe you did something that might hurt him.?” Koki tried now, his face visible with curiosity.
“What.? Fanservice with Kame.? I thought he has made it clear that he didn’t care about what I did with Kame. Plus, Kame is your boyfriend, baka.”
Kame palmed his face seeing his boyfriend’s bakaness while Koki smiles goofily at that. Yuichi slowly sat beside Junno and stares expectantly at the KY member. Junno did realize it and without losing his sight off his DS, Junno answered Yuichi’s cluelessness.
“I saw Uepi brought the Wink Up magazine home last night. Maybe something in it.?”
Just then did a bulb light up on each of the trio’s clueless heads.
“Ahh.! Wink Up.!”

Yuichi walks grudgingly towards Tatsuya’s apartment. He silently cursed the numerous works he got nowadays. What’s with Shuichi and the drama. And now Tatsuya is making a scene over an interview of a magazine. Yuichi swore he just answered that nonchalantly since he didn’t want to make it clear that he’s obviously head over heels on someone who’s not as hygienic as him.
“Mental note to Nakamaru Yuichi; be honest in your interview.” Yuichi whispers to himself sarcastically.
When he almost reached Tatsuya’s apartment, he was surprised to see that someone else is closing the door to Tatsuya’s house. And what surprised Yuichi more is to see that the certain someone is actually Ichihara Hayato. Once Ichihara moves to walk towards the lift, the actor was surprised to find Yuichi there. They awkwardly stand there confronting each other before Ichihara decided to break the silence.
“Ano.. I’m sorry. Tatsuya asked me to come. He sounds like he’s crying over something, and I was quite worried, and…”
Ichihara stopped his words when he saw the death glare that Yuichi gave him. He clearly knows that Yuichi and Tatsuya have been dating for more than 4 years now. He inwardly cursed himself for coming here, but being a best friend he is, Ichihara knows he did the right thing.
“I…I’ll take my leave then..” Ichihara bows at Yuichi and he quickly leaves the place.
Yuichi, upon seeing and hearing that, clearly pissed off by the fact that Tatsuya is turning to someone that is clearly his rival. Stomping grudgingly on his feet, Yuichi barged into Tatsuya’s unlocked apartment and was surprised to see what his lover did inside there.
“What are you doing here.?” Tatsuya asked as he clumsily tried to vacuum his living room.
Yuichi stood rooted there as he watched his boyfriend who is wearing a blue apron with his short, black hair covered with a bandana. Despite the cuteness that Tatsuya’s portrayed right now, Yuichi was dumb struck by one thing. Tatsuya is cleaning his house.
“What….are you doing.?”
“Cleaning.?” Tatsuya said with a ‘duhh..~’ look.
Tatsuya, when he saw how Yuichi is looking at him with that dumbstruck look, angrily put down the vacuum. He puts his hands each on his waist as he stares back at his lover.
“Look. I know I barely know how to clean, and that I’m such a lazy brat when it comes to do the housework. My house is a total wreck if not for someone or my maid comes to clean it. I’m suck at this thing, I know. But I don’t want to let your dream criteria of your partner to vanish just like that just because of a lazy bum like me, and so I decided to start learning to do the house chores. It might not be as good as…..”
Tatsuya’s blabbering was cut off when Yuichi suddenly pulled him in for a hug. The younger one was lost of his words when a realization hit him that Yuichi is indeed hugging him.
“Why…”
“You’re such a baka, aren’t you.? Getting all fired up over an interview. You’re indeed the most sensitive person I’ve ever meet.” Tatsuya was about to protest again Yuichi’s words, but then the older one just keep talking. “It’s true that I like a girl who is good at house chores. It’s just my liking since all my sisters know how to do the house chores and that I found it as one of the criteria that I’d like to have in a girl.”
Tatsuya tried to push Yuichi away once he heard that. Indeed, Yuichi is fooling around with him all this while. He knows that Tatsuya can’t do the house works and such a spoilt brat who will only ordered his maid to clean his house, yet he still dared to say that.
“But..” Yuichi tightens his holds on Tatsuya, obviously doesn’t want the younger one to slip away. “I intended that to the girls out there, Tatsuya. I like how my sisters always do the house chores perfectly, and I clearly want the other girls to know that being a good housewife is one of the dream criteria every man needs. And..”
Yuichi pulled Tatsuya away to meet his eyes. “You are a guy, Tatsuya. I never thought that I’ll fall in love with an obviously lazy brat who can’t even vacuum his house. Maybe you’ll be the only exception for that.”
“Hey.!”
“I just don’t want you to feel bad if I said that I prefer the one who can’t do the house chores like you in the magazine. Knowing you, you might as hell broke up with me later, you sensitive little cutey pie.” Yuichi ended with a sweet smile.
“So, Yuichi still like me even though I can’t do the house works..?” Tatsuya asked with his kicked puppy eyes.
Yuichi chuckles when he sees that. “Maybe I don’t like that part of you.. But what I’m sure about is, I’m fully in love with you, Tatsuya.”
Tatsuya smiles beamingly at that and Yuichi swore he felt his heart beating wildly on that. Even after 4 years together, Tatsuya still able to make his heart goes wild.
“Anyway, care to tell me why you turn to Ichihara instead of anyone else.?”
Tatsuya’s smile started to turn into a cheeky one. “Why.? Are you jealous.?”
“Of course I am. I’m still not over the fact that you always wore that necklace he gave you.” Yuichi eyed the gold necklace hung around Tatsuya’s milky neck.
“I’m just asking for his help. You know him, the hygiene freak just like you. I just asked him to help with the cleaning. And unfortunately, he got some works to do just now, and he left me to do the cleaning here. Bad luck. This part of my house is the hardest place to be cleaned.” Tatsuya sighs slightly as he inspected the totally messed up living room.
“You asked him to clean up for you.? I thought I have told you already, never invite someone just to clean up your place, especially that Ichihara. Who knows he got something else planned and tried to snatch you….”
“You know…” Tatsuya shuts Yuichi up as he leans closer towards the older man, his arms wrapped around Yuichi’s neck. “He has already cleaned up my room. Maybe we can continue our talk there.”
Yuichi could feel the shiver ran up his spine as Tatsuya whispers seductively at him. He silently thanked Ichihara for cleaning that part first. Yuichi smiles naughtily as he engaged Tatsuya in a heated kiss before he kicked the door to Tatsuya’s room closed behind them.
