The morning sunlight went through the windows of Kouya's apartment that Saturday, brightening the whole place up. Inside, there were clothes scattered around the living room floor and old magazines stacked without order by the side of the couch. The kitchen was no exception to the disorder, with dishes left unwashed in the sink and a trash bin already full. The bedroom was in better state compared to the rest of the place. Except for the bed with Kouya sleeping on it and a blanket curled up on top of him, the floor was clean with his guitar resting on its base in a corner.

When the alarm clock next to the sleeping husky struck 7:30 AM, it gave out loud beeps, short pauses in between each. Kouya reached for it using his left hand and pressed the snooze button. He got up and stretched as he yawned, blinking his eyes to wake himself.

***

Inside the kitchen, Kouya took out some eggs and last night's leftover rice to prepare his breakfast, all the while humming a song the band had practiced last Friday. He laid them down on the counter, took out a frying pan and placed it on the stove. As he was about to fire up the stove, he heard the door bell ring.

He shouted while walking towards the front door. "Coming!"

When he opened the door, there was Shun with a knapsack on his back. To the little wolf's right was Ten holding a covered silver-colored pot.

Shun bowed and greeted him. "Good morning, onii-chan!"

"Uhh... Good morning. Excuse me for a moment, please." Kouya shut the door in front of them before panicking as he looked around his place, which was in no state to accept any visitor.

"Why the hell are they here!? Okay, calm down. We can do this. I'll just move the clothes over there and-"

Ten spoke from the back of the door. "Open the door, Kouya."

The husky felt a chill run through his back, sensing a threatening aura coming from the big wolf. Not wanting his door broken, he opened it and let them in. When the two wolves entered the place and saw the mess, Shun let out a nervous chuckle while Ten bowed his head and sighed.

"Should I have expected more?" Ten said as he went to the kitchen and placed the pot on the counter.

"Sorry. I wasn't expecting company." Kouya took the dirty clothes off the couch and offered them a seat.

With Shun and Ten comfortable on the couch, the husky asked them a question while tidying up the kitchen. "So, what brought you two here today?"

Shun pointed to the pot. "We made curry today. I wanted to share it with you so I asked Ten-san to help me bring it here."

"But Shun-sama, will we even be able to eat in such a place?" Ten said while looking at the various clutter scattered around the place.

Kouya thought to himself. "Cut me some slack here..."

At that moment, Shun had an idea to brighten up the awkward situation. The little wolf called for the husky's attention as he said something. "Hey onii-chan, we can help you clean up the apartment today."

Kouya was surprised at Shun's offer, almost dropping the frying pan he was returning to the kitchen closet. He was hesitant about it, as letting house guests help clean up was considered rude of the host. Ten backed the little wolf up, refusing to take no for an answer. Seeing as the two were adamant on helping with the clean-up, Kouya agreed with a sigh.

"Really now, these two..."

1. Clean up dirty laundry.

The three split with each of them holding a small laundry basket. Kouya went to his room and put in dirty clothes he found under the bed and inside the closet, how they got there he did not know. After changing the bed sheets and tossing the old ones in, the basket became full.

Kouya went out of his room and carried the basket along. "I'm done with my room so here are the-" He stopped and let go of his basket as he saw Ten holding one of his black bikini briefs. "Ah wait, that's-"

Ten turned around, dropping the briefs in his basket. "What is it?"

"... Never mind." Letting the situation pass, the husky shoved his basket in one corner before he went on helping with the living room.

1. Wash dishes, pick up and take trash out.

While Kouya and Ten were busy cleaning up the trash from the other room, Shun took charge of the kitchen. He washed the piles of dirty dishes that were in the sink and placed them back in the cupboard according to their size, the cups being last and on top. With everything in the kitchen all clean, what was left was to take out the kitchen's trash.

Smelling the stench of decomposing garbage, the wolf held his breath as he opened the trash bin. It was filled up to the lid with all kinds of trash; paper, spoiling food, and empty soda cans. He was about to grab the garbage bag when a cockroach came out and went to his left upper arm.

Shun ran towards the living room, waving his left arm to shake off the cockroach. "Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!"

Kouya and Ten saw what was happening and grabbed a flyswatter and a bottle of bug spray. Shun was instructed to stay still as Kouya got ready to swat the roach. When the husky was about to swat, the roach started flying all around the apartment.

"Ahh!" Shun ducked and covered his head.

"Ah, damn it!" Kouya swung his swatter left and right, attempting to get a hit on the roach.

When the roach flew towards Ten's area, the wolf took a step back and aimed the nozzle towards it. "It's the end," he said as he sprayed at the roach, causing it to fall down on the floor motionless.

1. Dust and sweep whole apartment, scrub bathroom while doing so.

Ten was left alone in the living room to take charge of the dusting and sweeping. Kouya and Shun, on the other hand, had already finished with organizing the magazines and were left with scrubbing the bathroom. Kouya was cleaning the toilet while Shun was brushing the underside of the sink.

Shun stopped scrubbing and looked towards the husky. "Hey, onii-chan?"

"Yes?"

"How are you and Ten-san getting along?"

"Hmm..." Kouya got up and thought. He crouched down and petted Shun's hair. "We're getting along real good. Now that you asked..." He leaned closer to Shun and whispered something to the wolf.

"Whaa-" Shun raised his eyebrows and took a step back, his foot slipping on a brush.

"Watch out!" Kouya grabbed Shun and turned around, him falling down on the floor instead of the wolf. The fall made a loud thud that could be heard outside, prompting Ten to go and check up on the two.

Ten opened the bathroom door. "Shun-sama, is everything alright in here?" When he saw Shun sitting on top of Kouya's waist with the husky on the floor, his brows knit as an aura of anger surrounded him. "You! You dare do this!"

Kouya tried to calm him down. "Hold it! It's not what you think!"

"Eh?" Shun tilted his head in confusion.

With the clean-up done, the apartment looked like it had more space than when the two wolves first entered it. The walls were a bright white with the surfaces free of any dust. The dirty laundry was arranged in a corner to keep it from obstructing anybody, and the magazines were arranged according to issue number and placed under the table next to the couch.

As a reward for themselves for their efforts, the three ate the curry Shun and Ten bought, having as much servings as they could take. Kouya enjoyed it all the more as the husky didn't have his breakfast when all this started.

When it was 2:30 in the afternoon, the three decided to take this time as a break from any activity. Shun slept on the couch, his head resting on Ten's lap as he mumbled in his sleep. Kouya and Ten chuckled as they watched the little wolf enjoy his afternoon slumber.

"He's really something, isn't he?" Kouya asked.

"Yeah," Ten said, petting Shun's head. "I feel envious of your relationship with him though."

"What? Why?"

"You've been close enough that he addresses you as his 'onii-chan'. Somehow, I wish to have that degree of closeness with him also."

"Ten..."

Just as the two were talking, Shun yawned and got up as he stretched himself.

Kouya asked the dazed little wolf. "Had a good nap?"

"Yeah," Shun said before going to the bathroom to wash his face. After fixing himself, he took his bag and went towards Kouya's TV, taking out a game system and plugging it in.

Ten sighed. "Shun-sama..."

"Always come prepared, right?" Kouya said.

"Right," Shun said, giving a thumbs-up as he put a game in before taking out another controller.

When Kouya saw the little wolf plug the second controller in, a though came to his mind. "Hey, Shun."

Shun turned to him. "Yes?"

"Wanna have Ten play with you?"

The two wolves looked at him with widened eyes.

The husky crossed his arms and puffed his chest out. "This is chance for you to be a teacher, so teach him well," he said before giving Ten a pat on the shoulder.

Shun thought for a moment about what Kouya told him. Seeing no problem in it, he picked up the other controller and offered it to Ten with a smile. "Wanna play, Ten-san?"

"... Yes." Ten went near and sat down before taking the second controller. "Shun-sama, how do I play this game?"

"Well, how you play is..."

***

The day has ended and Kouya was lying down on his bed, thinking about today's events. He looked at the ceiling and smiled as he felt happy about the two visiting him, despite it being unplanned. One thought that stood out the most was what he had whispered to Shun while they were cleaning the bathroom.

"I think I like him. But keep it a secret for now, okay?"
