The sound of voices and clutter awoke Kiel one morning.

Movers had started packing up the Winters house and put everything into sorted boxes. They had started this morning and the study along with a few closets were already packed up.

Kiel sat in his bed blinking softly. The commotion had woken Kiel up earlier than normal so all he could do was sit and wait until Archer woke up. Lucky for Kiel, Archer’s sleep was also disturbed by the commotion and he entered to room.

“Kiel…You awake?” He peeks in and smiles when he sees Kiel already sitting up in bed dazed.

“Mhm,” Kiel rubbed his eyes.

“I’m assuming the commotion woke you up too?” Archer walked in even further and sat on the bed.

“Yeah, I didn’t think mom and dad would hire movers and packers this early in the day.”

“Me too but they did. What a surprise,” Archer chuckles sarcastically.

Kiel smiles and plays with the frills on his blanket. “What time is it anyway?”

“Well when they first started it was like 4 maybe, but now it’s like 5:15,” Archer states.

“5:15! Why did they start so earlyyyyy,” Kiel groans and falls back on the bed.

“Do you want me to leave so you can go back to bed?” Archer looks over at Kiel who was now sprawled out on the bed.

“No…I’ve been up for too long now. I wont be able to fall back asleep,” Kiel mutters as he buries his face in the pillows.

“Alright alright,” Archer shifts and leans back against the head board.

After a while Archer pokes at Kiel’s sides. “You still awake down there?”

A few seconds pass and Kiel doesn’t respond but kicks Archer’s feet with his own. Archer kicked him back and the two of them went back and forth with kicking each other.

Archer breaks the silence and clears his throat. “We should also start packing up your room and get ready to move into your house too.”

“Yeah that’s a good idea. We can unpack and clean up the house a bit while people tour the house with mom and dad,” Kiel stops kicking and lifts his head from the pillow.

“Sounds good but lets just relax for a bit. I don’t think either of us can function properly this early,” Archer ruffles Kiel’s head.

Kiel glares at him and lays his head back down on the pillow with a sigh. The two of them continue to relax on Kiel’s bed, taking their time to fully wake up and comprehend the world.

After a while and what seems like an hour or so, they finally decide to start their day. They both went to the bathroom and brushed their teeth, washed up, and put clothes on. They then had breakfast that consisted of toast and eggs. After breakfast they grabbed a few moving boxes before going back up to Kiel’s room and started packing.

“Alright lets start with your bookshelf, your closet, and then your desk,” Archer cracks his fingers.

He starts putting together the boxes and taping the bottoms and then placing them in the areas needed. Kiel walked over to his bookcase and started taking books off the shelves.

“Do we have to get rid of my books?”

Archer looks up and chuckles. “No we can take all of them and get a new bookcase that will fit in your house.”

“Wait really!” Kiel smiles and starts quickly packing the books into a few boxes.

They continue to pack up and finish up the bookcase, Kiel’s closet, and the desk.

“Well I think we are done for now,” Archer states as he wipes his hands on his pants. “Should we load this into my car and unpack it at your house?”

“Yeah we can but don’t we have to take my bed and desk?” Kiel asks softly.

“Yeah we will later but you still need to sleep here, so we can move it a few days before the house sells.”

Oh…I’m dumb,” Kiel giggles softly.

“Nah you’re good, you just didn’t think that far ahead,” Archer ruffles Kiel’s head.

Kiel glares at him once more and sits down on his bed with a sigh. Archer stacks the boxes that were full Kiel’s stuff on top of each other. He then takes a sharpie and labels each box and what they contain.

“How about we take a breather and then load the car?” Archer asks Kiel as he sits next to him.

“Sounds good,” Kiel replies and kicks his feet contently against the frame of the bed.

Archer loads his car with the boxes full of Kiel’s stuff and Kiel gets in the passenger seat. He then gets in the car and starts it before driving off.

Kiel’s house was about 30 minutes away from his parents, far but not too far. When they arrive Archer unlocks the front door and brings the boxes inside. They start by sweeping the floors, cleaning counters, cleaning windows, and then dusting away cobwebs. When they finish cleaning, Archer brings in the few boxes that were brought over. He sets them on the floor and they unpack them. Though they could only unpack a few boxes since there was any furniture to put everything else on.

“Well its the best we could do,” Archer takes a step back looking at the open but bare area.

“Yeah we need to get some furniture and shelving.,” Kiel chuckles as he sits on the floor.  “How about we go back, see how much of the house is packed up already?”

“Sounds like a plan,” Kiel says as he stands up and the two of the walk to the door.

They drive back home and when they walk in the house all they can see are boxes.

“Wow they got progress done,” Archer chuckled.

He takes Kiel’s hand and guides him through the mess to where Mr. and Mrs. Winters are.

“Hey we are back.” Archer calls out.

“We are in the living room,” Mrs. Winters calls back with a hum.

They walk closer and meet them in the only room that had furniture; the kitchen/dining room.

“Hey boys,” Mrs. Winters smiles.

“Hi mom,” Kiel replies softly.

“Just a heads up their are going to be people touring the house. So if the two of you want to go out and do some shopping for your new house you can.”

“That’s actually a good idea. Me and Kiel were talking about buying some stuff for his house anyway,” Archer smiles.

“Great,” She smiles. “Now I don’t mean to be rude but could you boys go to Kiel’s room or something so we can keep packing?” She states again but her snarky attitude was back.

“Okay,” Kiel pipes up and Archer leads them to Kiel’s room.

Once they get back to Kiel’s room they sit on the bed and relax.

“Gosh what a long day,” Archer signs.

“Agreed.” Kiel lays down next to where Archer was sitting.

Kiel closes his eyes and the two of them relax for the rest of the night.
