Things had been going amazingly well. They'd been at Reed's for several days now, and Emerson wasn't sure he'd ever been so happy. He felt closer to his boyfriend than ever, and that was truly an accomplishment given how attached he'd been before they left Hogwarts. He'd watched while Reed and his uncle played basketball (though Emmy still had a bit of trouble remembering the name) and once even was convinced to join. He'd been worse than awful at it, unable to throw the ball even close to high enough to reach the basket. It was all in good fun, though. He'd even gone as far as to borrow some of the clothes Reed wore while playing, which he'd drowned in. Emerson had never been able to let go and be so informal around family members before, having always been made to be on his best behavior. It was nice, being so relaxed. It made him feel at home.
Of course, Emerson was still doing plenty of chores around the house. He'd volunteered to do the dishes that day, and that was currently what he was in the middle of doing. He had his own little system of washing, drying, and putting away. When Reed joined him, he let him do the drying. Emerson would wash them, hand them to Reed, and the system became even more effective. That made sense. They were quite the team.
