The sun had descended from the sky on Earth 327-Z, and Smart Beavis and Smart Butt-Head were not having it.
What would have been a normal day of grocery shopping and other errands for a normal person, was HELL to a pair of autism-ridden young adults.
First of all, the store was CROWDED, and Smart Beavis got yelled at by a random lady for accidentally bumping into her while in line.
Secondly, the store didn’t have any soda, which they were running low on. They had to settle for tea, which they didn’t mind, but they were in the mood for a sweeter beverage.
Lastly, the entire store was loud, the lighting seemed much brighter than usual, the same 5 shitty pop songs played on loop, and they nearly got lost 5 times, and they’ve been in the store enough times to have the layout memorized! It took them forever to purchase their stuff and get out, and by the time they were out, the sun was setting! Which was bullshit because they had gotten there at noon!.
They still had to walk home and put everything away, but they both, especially Smart Beavis, felt like shit.
Smart Beavis was grumbling to himself whist carrying a few bags with one of his arms while the other held his oversized robe, which would drag on the filthy pavement if he didn’t hold it up. He would go out and buy a robe in his size, but they didn’t sell any that fit him.
Smart Butt-Head looked equally pissed, but he tried to collect himself as they made it to their part of the neighborhood, getting the keys to their house out as they walked to the door of their house.
He fumbled for a minute before finding the key and unlocking the door, letting Smart Beavis walk in first.
Smart Butt-Head followed and put his bag of groceries on the table in their dining room, doing the same with Smart Beavis’ bags.
First thing Smart Beavis did was lie on their couch, groaning as he relaxed.
“I request your presence…” He said, reaching his arms out expectingly.
Smart Butt-Head smiled softly, “Dearest, allow me to put away our groceries and prepare dinner, and I promise you that we can spend the rest of tonight resting.
Smart Beavis lowered his arms “But, it’s unfair that I’m being rewarded for your deed, allow me to h-“
He was interrupted when Smart Butt-Head planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
“Please, I’m tired of you waking up early to do all my daily chores, let me pay you back.
All Smart Beavis could do was nod, as he rested on the couch.
Smart Butt-Head quickly walked to the dining room, and sped through putting away everything. They sorted each cabinet and row on their fridge for one specific type of item each, they liked separating things by type and/or color.
He got out a single T.V dinner, he wasn’t hungry himself, but he knew Smart Beavis always had an appetite at this time of day. So he got it out and microwaved it. It was a simple chicken meal, with peas and rice, all stuff that Smart Beavis would eat without a single complain.
He took one of the last cans of soda and opened it for him, pouring it in a ceramic cup, as neither of them drank from the can out of fear of cutting their lips against it, making it hard to kiss.
Once the microwave beeped he blew on it and separated all the items on the tray. Once he felt it cooled down enough, he walked into the living room, tray and drink in hand.
“Here, anything you don’t eat, Il eat.” He set it down on Smart Beavis’ lap before taking the remote and turning on the tv, flipping it to a random news station.
Smart Beavis began to eat, appreciating how his loved always knew what he liked and disliked, and not being afraid to adjust to his preferences.
As he ate, he felt a pair of hands on his shoulders, rubbing them softly, he leaned into the touch, comforted as the tenseness in his muscles faded away.
He soon felt satisfied, and saved his boyfriend most of his chicken as a sign of gratitude, in which he appreciated and accepted it.
Once the tray was in the garbage, Smart Beavis immediately tacked Smart Butt-Head onto the couch, purring into his chest.
“Thank you so much for tonight, Smart Butthead, how ever can I pay you back?”
Smart Butt-Head held his head against his chest, humming softly before giving an answer.
“You are already worth fighting an army of 6 billion soldiers for.”
Smart Beavis felt warmth in his cheeks after hearing that, and sighed.
“Can we stay home tomorrow, and observe middle-aged Beavis and Butt-Head?”
Smart Butt-Head nodded “Of course we can, I feel the need to unwind as well.”
“…can we just go to bed now?” Smart Beavis mumbled
Without a warning, Smart Butt-Head stood up from the couch, lifting Smart Beavis and carrying to bed. Once they got to their bedroom, Smart Beavis was laid down in bed, Smart Butt-Head joining him shortly after, wrapping his arms around him in a protective embrace under the covers. Smart Beavis began to purr again.
“Thank you, once again, for everything. I am not sure what I did to deserve someone as wonderful as you in my life.”
Smart Butt-Head sighed happily, purring against his partner’s warmth, that’s all he needed to hear.
“Anything for you, my most precious one.”
They both leaned in for a kiss, which was such a cheesy move, but they just can’t help it. They love each other to death, to the point where they can’t even have a day without cuddling on the couch. It was just routine now, and they were both equally satisfied, even though their earth knows little-to-nothing about romance, or love in general.
And with that, both smarts fell asleep, with a plan of lazing around for tomorrow. Of course, that’s what they almost always did, but they have each other to laze around with…
And that was all they needed.
