Day 7 - During Their Morning Rituals

When I was young, I had gotten used to of my responsibilities. So it was hard for me to share it.

Gold laid on the bed. Next to him was a sleeping Silver. It was early in the morning, four in the morning in fact. In two hours Silver would get up and get ready, an hour later Silver would force him to wake up and get ready as well. He truly did try to split up the chores around the house. Yet he was like this from a very young age it proved impossible for him to share his chores with Silver now that they were living together.

The redhead had moved in not to long ago, in fact it was about a week ago. Last night Silver had asked how does his house stay so neat and in top condition. Gold sweat dropped and just couldn't bring himself to say it. He made up a lie saying the pokemons cares for the house. His boyfriend easily believed this and it was never brought up again.

It was four in the morning. Gold tried his best to softly leave the bed. He found it unique that Silver had two ways of sleeping. When safe and with someone, he was a heavy sleeper. And there was his normal way of sleeping, an extremely light sleeper. A part of him would be awake and another part would be awake. Making him half conscious and aware. The only reason Silver didn't wake up to the movement he made was because he made sure the redhead took his tea before sleeping.

Gold walked on his tip toes out of the room and walked down the stairs. He started off by pulling out all the Pokemon food and refilling the bowls, containers. He as well turned on the stove and took out ingredients. Once he was done refilling the food, he went to make more pokemon food. This took up thirty minutes. He left the pot to boil and dashed outside. He had to clean the lake in his backyard, fishing out the leaves and cleansing it once again from the pokemons slime. "Gaah…" he grunted out, finishing cleaning the lake.

The Hatcher went back to the kitchen, putting the boiling liquid into pans and placing them into the oven. He set the timer on his stopwatch and put it around his neck. Going back outside, he readied the horse and started from the front to back, watering the plants. As he did so, he whistled in a certain tone. The Pidgeys and Pidgeottoes of the town started to awaken. He quickly sprayed the water around to the trees and grass surrounding his house.

The stop watch beep, making him turn off the hose and head back to the kitchen. Replacing the first batch, with the second batch, starting his stop watch again. By now, his hour was up. He quickly grabbed his skateboard and his sweater, carrying a large bag of letters. For the next following forty five minutes, Gold delivered letters and the newspaper to his neighborhood. Was the redhead aware of Gold's part time job in the morning, no, The Hatcher never told him about his Mail service. As far as Silver is concern, Gold is sleeping next to him at the very moment. Silver was only still asleep due to Gold placing his sweater around him to make him think he was still here.

Once Gold reach his house again, he went straight to the second batch and replaced it with the final one, putting the heat on high. He spent the rest of the fourteen minutes cleaning up the house. Once his time was up, he shut off the stove and went back to his room. Silver was shifting a bit, normally he wakes up at six. Before the redhead opened his eyes, Gold slipped in the bed and tossed the sweat around Silver to the ground and pretended to be asleep. "Nnngh…" Silver sat up from the bed.

"Hey, get up." Silver nudge his boyfriend.

Gold groaned and laid on his stomach. "One more hourr…~"

Silver sighed and got out of the bed, getting his clothes and heading to the shower. It was the same thing for him, wash his hair, get dry, comb his hair, get dressed. He had thirty minutes left. He took his Team outside, spending fourteen minutes on a morning warm-up. This woke up all the other pokemons in Gold's house, around 7:15 he went back to Gold and forced him awake. It was  Gold's turn to get ready for the day, which only took about thirty seconds. He would go down stairs and start making breakfast, the only reason Silver wanted the Hatcher awake this early.

"Are you clocked in for Galax?" Gold asked, serving the food for them.

Silver scan his memory to make sure. "No, but you are."

"Damnit." Gold banged his head against the kitchen counter. He got over his little depression and went back to his food.

"Why the damnit?" the redhead slowly started to eat his small breakfast.

Gold groaned and handed Ataro some bread. "I avoided paper works long enough. Daaamniiiit, I don't want to have to sit and write all daaaayy."

"Well it's your own fault for leaving it all for the last minute." Silver silently nibbled on his bread.

"Oh why thank you, most supportive boyfriend of the year." the Exchanger only squinted his eyes at Gold's sarcasm.

When the two were finish, Silver put his plate away and got his team ready to head to the Gym. Gold was still sitting, heavily thinking about something. "Hey Silver, what do you think of me working in Goldenrod?"

Silver looked back at him, his expression demanding more explanation. "Or well.. At least near Goldenrod."

"Why?"

There wasn't a valid reason to give. "Um well.. To learn new things…?"

"You just want to get out of paper work."

"Well that too."

Silver rolled his eyes and opened the door. Gold grabbed the keys and followed. "If you want to then go ahead, there's nothing stopping you."

Gold huffed his cheeks and wrapped his arms around the redhead's waist, making him flinched to the contact. "But if I got a jooobb, then there will be less time for the hot sexy smutt-"

"Then that's a GOOD thing!!" Gold laughed once Silver broke free and stormed off to Viridian. Their morning was somewhat lively, it was always filled with the pokemons hurrying preparing themselves for any danger later that day. They all had their own routine to do and stickled to. A well balanced morning that always had something randomly tossed in.
