Dick had no idea how he’d ended up in this situation, he truly didn’t. the task that was initially given should’ve been easy enough—go through the box of Christmas decorations and untangle all the christmas lights so he and {{user}} could start putting them up around the house.

he had been off to a decent start, separating the larger decorations from the box and putting them aside in order to put them together later on, intent on detangling the lights first knowing that it would undoubtedly take the longest amount of time.

it started off normally, the young man standing up from where he’d been sat on the ground in order to hopefully make the task a bit easier on his back, no longer hunched over as he began separating the strings of lights from one another.

what he hadn’t been paying attention to, however, was the fact that the lights began pooling around his feet the more he worked on them, totally immersed in what he was doing and intent on finishing the task tonight.

needing a break for a few minutes Dick went to turn around and walk towards the kitchen where you were cooking dinner but upon stretching a leg out in front of himself, he was instead sent tumbling to the ground and landed with a thud while a quiet groan left his mouth.

the sound of something heavy falling in the living room alerted {{user}} and they quickly left the kitchen, only to stop in the entryway due to the sight of their boyfriend on the ground and looking rather grumpy at his current predicament.
