(Somewhere in Australia)

The 21 year old author was pacing the apartment restlessly, ignoring the way her slippered feet would snag the throw carpet and shift it carelessly along the vinyl floor.
What to do? What to do? This was what she's been wondering about the whole time when suddenly she thought of someone that might be able to help her. Concentrating hard she snapped her fingers and 'poof' down came a sleepy, fox-eyed boy landing on the sofa conveniently placed where he was dropped.

"Ah! Rukawa! I was hoping you'd come," grinned the girl happily.

The tall Japanese boy didn't look so pleased at being taken from his nap and started to open his mouth to say so when the girl waved her arm in a hurried manner and said, "Fine, fine, let's skip the formalities and get to the point. What shall I get Hanamichi?"

"You got me here for that?" asked the boy irritated, "Where is this place?"

"My apartment," answered the girl, "Like it?"

"Comfortable couch," Rukawa answered settling more comfortably on the piece of snug furniture, "Just get me back before practice."

"But I need you to... oi! Don't fall asleep... yahhh!" cried Noor when the fox-eyed boy unconciously swung at her for stupidly disturbing his nap.

"Mhhh... what?" asked Rukawa opening his drowsy blue eyes.

Noor scowled and stood up from her crouched position on the floor, dusting her pants, "I can't think of what to give Hanamichi on his birthday. Do you have any idea?"

Rukawa's eyes glinted for a moment and opened his mouth to tell Noor his idea when the girl cut him off again, "Any ideas which does not include bondage would be good, Rukawa. This is his birthday after all, not a RuHana day."

Rukawa hmphed and crossed his arm in displeasure.

Seconds ticked by and then minutes and before long, Rukawa was already asleep, a string of saliva dripping down his chin. Noor grimaced at the sight but she'd rather not try tempt pain again by trying to wake him up.

The tv was switched on and what programme was showing at the moment made the girl screech. Startled, Rukawa's fist automatically swung but only swinging at air he upset his balance and fell down on the floor face first.

Rubbing his head he glared at the girl who was pointing at the screen in excitement.

"That! That! I want to do that for Hanamichi!" said Noor giggling behind her knuckles.

"Like hell you will," growled Rukawa.

The writer was thankful that she does not blush for she would have when she realised Rukawa misunderstood her plan.

"Not me, baka," the girl told him, "You're gonna do it and say that it's a present from me."

"And me," said Rukawa firmly.

"Hai, hai. And you," sighed Noor before she mumbled to herself, "I thought of it. Anyone should see I would have more credit..."

(Shohoku, Japan)

There came a knock on Sakuragi's door and since Hanamichi was alone that night (convenient, ain't it *wink*) he went to answer it. He should be feeling rather tired because of the lateness of the hour but since it was his birthday today he couldn't help but feel extra happy that he was actually hyper. His parents were away for dinner that night after celebrating his special day with him in the day and now it's just him alone although he would like it if a certain fox-eyed boy would drop by for a not-so quick visit. Therefore, when he opened the door to find Rukawa standing outside he immedietly pulled the boy in without so much as a 'hi'.

Hanamichi was about to give his handsome blue-eyed boyfriend a kiss when a firm hand stopped him short.

"What?" asked the redhead puzzled.

"I come here to give you a present from Noor," Rukawa told him.

"Oh," said Hanamichi disappointed.

"And from me," continued the other boy.

Hanamichi stared at him for a moment before he narrowed his brown eyes, "Why are you two sharing a present?"

"Because she thought of it and needs my help so both of us has claim in what we're about to give you," answered the raven-haired boy.

Hanamichi wrinkled his forehead, "I see. So what is it?"

Rukawa opened the bag he has slung on his shoulder and took out a feather duster, "I clean your house for you."

The redhead blinked, "And?"

"And what?"

Hanamichi waved his hand, "What? That's it? You clean my house?"

"Yes. And you must watch to see that every place is cleaned by me," said Rukawa.

Again, Hanamichi felt his disappointment emerge. Sighing he said, "Ok, ok. Do what you want."

Rukawa nodded, "I need to get ready first. Can I use your bathroom for a moment?"

"Yeah, sure," Hanamichi answered, flopping himself on a couch in the living room.

Moments later, Rukawa appeared with a pail of cleaning supplies in one hand and a change of clothes. Hanamichi had to sit up when he saw what Rukawa was wearing.

The plain white cotton t-shirt modestly covered Rukawa's top but it also managed to teasingly show off the subtle contours of the boy's chest and it's nakedness other than the shirt with it's thin material. And the worn looking jeans Rukawa has on seemed so snug that Hanamichi could see how taut Rukawa's backside was. Therefore, it was certainly a pleasure to watch the fox-eyed boy walk about and clean the living room because every movement the boy makes, Hanamichi was able to imagine the play of muscle underneath the clothing. And sometimes the redhead need not imagine at all.
When Rukawa has to strain to clean higher areas, his shirt would ride up and the redhead would be able to see a scant area of pale skin of his torso and when Rukawa has to bend down to reach the lower ones, Rukawa tight behind would be flaunted. Hanamichi has to remind himself to keep his hands to himself and leave Rukawa alone with the house-cleaning. Maybe after that...

Suddenly, Rukawa stood up from his crouched position on the floor, and said, "I've done with the living room. Now I'm going to clean the kitchen."

Hanamichi blinked, seemingly to have just broken his trance from the beauty of the fox-eyed boy's body, "Huh? Oh, yeah, sure. Go right ahead."

Rukawa, noting the blush on Hanamichi cheeks nearly smiled a sly smile, This is certainly fun...
He walked towards the kitchen and Hanamichi followed a few steps away, taking the opportunity to check out Rukawa's butt.

Rukawa was looking around the kitchen as if he was a professional cleaner about to do an important task when to Hanamichi's shock, the boy suddenly took of his shirt and casually began to clean up the room as if cleaning the kitchen half-naked in your boyfriend's house is a normal thing to do.

Now, Rukawa's chest is plain to see, bare from any piece of material. The fox-eyed boy at first busied himself with washing the dishes and drying them, his broad back towards the redhead, and Hanamichi was able to see the shallow ridge smoothing provocatively down along Rukawa's spine which disappeared behind the jeans as it got lower, making the redhead gulp. When Rukawa turned around Hanamichi's mouth dropped as he was presented with the view of Rukawa's flat, naked, solid chest and strong arms, their muscles flexing while Rukawa sets himself on cleaning the counter and the kitchen table.

When the raven-haired player was done he turned towards the gaping redhead and said, "The kitchen's done. Now's the bathroom."

Hanamichi had to work his jaw to shut before he could answer, "Yeah."

Hanamichi silently followed the fox-eyed boy towards the bathroom, knowing that Rukawa would know where to go. He was wondering if he should ask Rukawa why the boy took of his shirt when the boy in mention made a move to take off his jeans. Of course, Hanamichi panicked.

"K-Kitsune! What are you doing?!" sputtered Hanamichi.

Rukawa's hands stopped in their act to push down his jeans and arched an eyebrow, "Getting comfortable."

Hanamichi sweatdropped, "Ano...Won't you... ah... get cold?"

Rukawa thought for a while before he answered, "Actually yes but this is a part of the present."

Hanamichi's face showed confusion, "Eh?"

Rukawa rolled his eyes and explained it to the redhead patiently, "To clean your house with little or no clothing on."

"Who's crazy idea is that?" asked the redhead, before he said, "Wait, I remember. It's Noor's idea. No wonder. It's so stupid!"

Rukawa put his hand on his hip and asked, "Why is it stupid?"

"Cleaning is what you'll only do right?"

"Yeah," acknowledged the fox-eyed boy.

"I hate to tell you this kitsune but..." Hanamichi blushed, "I don't think I'll be able to only sit and watch while you do your cleaning nearly naked in front of me. I'll jump at you!"

Rukawa arched an eyebrow and he actually did smile this time - but only the tiniest of a smile that Hanamichi missed it.

"I'm sure you'll be able resist until I get these two more places cleaned," Rukawa said, deliberately taking off his jeans slowly much to the embarrassement and dismay (and hidden excitement) of the other player. Hanamichi was at least thankful that the raven-haired boy was not wearing briefs but the boxers was still not enough to conceal the shape of Rukawa's private lower features. The boxers were as thin and plain as the t-shirt Rukawa has worn earlier on and hence it shows as much to Hanamichi as the shirt does, making the redhead groan inwardly when his imagination took of - and to make the redhead's imagination take off concerning about the kitsune's body is very easy following the present circumstance.

Hanamichi tried to get his breathing under control as he leaned heavily against the tiled walls but he couldn't help but look at the raven-haired boy all over as he went about cleaning and clearing up the bathroom.

Not long after, Rukawa stood up straight and turned towards the redhead, "I'm done."

Although the bathroom was a bit chilly, Rukawa's body was covered in a thin sheen on sweat, exerted by his slight exertion in scrubbing the tub and sink and also damping the boy's body was water that got splashed onto him as he cleaned the place.

Rukawa pushed the long midnight bangs from his dark blue eyes and said, "Tha bedroom is the last."

"Th-The bedroom?" Hanamichi croaked.

Rukawa nodded.

As he followed Rukawa to his bedroom, Hanamichi feverishly prayed that the boy would not take off his boxers when he starts on cleaning the room but it seems that the night was not kind to his sanity because to his horror, Rukawa was about to tug down the aforementioned piece of underwear.

"R-Rukawa! Wait! Time off! Please say that you've got something on underneath those boxers," pleaded Hanamichi, his eyes growing wide.

"No, I don't," came the dreaded reply and with one swift move the boxers were taken off, leaving Rukawa bare in his naked glory. Hanamichi felt like fainting at the moment but instead he managed to force his legs to move towards the door, intending to run out of there as fast as possible.
Alas, it was not to be so because before Hanamichi could get to the open door, another hand stretched out to slam the door shut.

When he turned around, he found his body pressed close to a naked one of Rukawa's so he instinctively pushed away until his back was pressed against the wooden door.

"Where do you think you're going?" asked the fox-eyed boy, his blue eyes boring into the redhead's brown ones, "I haven't started on cleaning your room yet."

"Y-You can do it without me watching you. I-I trust you!" tried the redhead, panicking at how his body was reacting to a slight brush with the other boy's knee.

Rukawa fingered the redhead's flushed cheeks before stepping back. "I'm not going to clean the room now, do'aho," he informed Hanamichi.

It took a moment before the words were able to sink into Hanamichi's brain. "Huh? Then what are you going to do now?" asked the redhead, afraid to know what other psychological tortures the raven-haired boy has in hand for him. However, he was relieved that Rukawa has put a distance between them.

"We'll start on my other part of the present, Hanamichi - where you can do what you like," said Rukawa, straightening his body to a full effect of showing off his beautiful body and throwing his arms open, totally giving the redhead a suggestive idea on what 'you can do what you like' is best applied to.

It took the redhead another moment for Hanamichi to comprehend what the boy was offering but it took the redhead less than that to practically throw Rukawa on his bed and do what every girl in Shohoku dreams of doing to the raven-haired beauty - only in different ways since both were males but the ability to give pleasure to one another was not lacking as one could definitely guess with the gratified moaning and groaning clear in the small room.

Rukawa was only able to start on cleaning up Hanamichi's room the next morning but that was done after Hanamichi forced him to do so, because as the raven-haired boy stated Hanamichi's day has gone with the strike of the twelfth hour. Needless that say, Hanamichi was more than ticked off and kicked the fox-eyed boy off of the bed and demand that Rukawa clear his room up. That, of course, led to a scuffle but soon both agreed to do the work together. And isn't that a good thing since both were too lazy and too contented to put on a decent amount of clothing?

~The End

In the programme 'British Sex', there actually are cleaners who would clean the house like that ^^;;
