It's that time of year where I can put my actual duvet on my bed on top of my weighted blanket and then gradually keep adding blankets

Domestic! Kang Daniel

Thanks so much for this request! I decided to do this a little different from others out there, with more of a focus on what it was like living together, as opposed to all the more cute, boyfriend styled answers I found when I researched this idea.

Morning routine:

Waking up wrapped up in his arms, soft kisses and morning greetings

Not moving right away, content in each other’s arms

Daniel doesn’t like getting up straight away, or at all, and if he could he’d make you stay curled up in bed all day long

In fact if you both don’t have any plans it’s what he’s going to suggest first

But the cats need to be fed, as do you both, and so he’ll help you out of bed, gently kissing you on your head as you go into the bathroom

Both self sufficient enough to get ready in the morning and focus on your own tasks

Daniel usually still eating as you dart about the house looking for lost keys or your bag

Which are always in the same place but you seem to become frazzled with the list of things ahead of you to do in your work day

Goodbye kisses are brief but sweet, the odd occasion Daniel will follow you down to the door to get more in, because he doesn’t want to say goodbye yet

Chores:

You have a roster that you rotate tasks between each day

Daniel doesn’t complain, he likes knowing what he is expected to do

You share the chores evenly, and have no gender roles (ie girls do dishes, boys mow lawns)

You’re very capable of changing your own lightbulb, thanks

Daniel likes seeing you clean, knowing you aren’t afraid to get dirty

For some reason this is attractive to him, as he watches you degrease the oven

For shits and giggles you make him wear an apron sometimes, mostly because he can get messy when cleaning and it makes it harder to get stains out of his clothes

He complained at first, but you knew he actually liked it, especially since you were the one to put it on him

Now he expects you to apron him up every time

Big cleans outs happen once a month since you both are relatively tidy in your living together

Normally always ends in bickering about missing something obvious all this time

You telling Daniel to clean it himself if he wasn’t satisfied with your efforts

Only for you to keep cleaning because you’re angry and what better way to let off steam than scrubbing at the grout on the bathroom tiles

Likes when you make natural cleaners and learned how to make them as well, because he doesn’t want anything toxic near the cats lol priorities

Cooking /Food:

You do grocery shopping together, and you frequent the local markets as often as you can for fresh meat and produce

You cook together as well, each dividing the work load and preparing what you’re in charge of

You taught Daniel a lot of the meals your mother made you as a child and he loves when you cook them for him too

Daniel is very attentive in the kitchen, and loves eating as many meals as he can with you each day

Sometimes makes you a packed lunch for work, and it’s usually set up as you would for a child, lots of heart shaped pieces, and cute faces made with seaweed

Always a note attached telling you to have a great day and to feel energised after eating his food

Enjoys when you cut up pieces of fruit and peel them for him, feeding him them as you laze about the house at night or in the weekend

Lots of dates are held at home because you both like to cook for each other

Habits you’d like to change:

Living with Daniel has been easier on your relationship than hard

But sometimes you wanted to do more than he did

Daniel’s a self proclaimed homebody and you initially thought you were as well

But there’s only so much laying around the house you can do before you feel unproductive

He doesn’t like how you watch the clock and live to utilise all the hours each day to the fullest because it easily stresses you out

Would love it if you slowed down and even tried to throw out the kitchen clock because he noticed how much you referred to it during the day

Errands/Schedule:

Both use an app to store household errands and a monthly calendar on

Made it easier for you both to know what was happening each day

Admittedly you had to train him on this but it didn’t take Daniel long to like the system, if he was out, he could check to see if you needed something for dinner that night, or pick up the dry cleaning

Otherwise you liked to run weekly errands together on Fridays, getting them done before the weekend began

Would usually end in a lunch date at a cute café, which is why you both anticipated Fridays the most each week

Night routine:

After dinner, Daniel likes to relax

It’s when he’s the most attentive to you, happy to run you a bath, and insists on drying your hair for you if you wash it

On the couch cuddling is a non negotiable past 8pm

If you’re stressed its generally time where you both talk about your day and help each other through any hardships

Otherwise you’re both just watching tv lazily

Daniel often falls asleep there and so you have to decide on whether to wake him up or not

Sometimes just getting a blanket, his peaceful state too precious to disturb

Until he wakes you at 2am complaining that you left him again, and waking up without you beside him is the worst

Other times you shake him awake and tell him to go to bed

You always stay up later than him and he dislikes this, wanting you to come to bed with him

Daniel is clingy, especially when he’s sleepy

You’re like his comfort blanket, and he needs contact with you at all times

Most of the time you just grab a book and go to bed with him

Brushing your teeth together and smiling when you each catch the other looking over in the mirror

Unlike the mornings, the bathroom night routine is shared together

Sometimes you apply each other’s skin care and it feels so darn nice to be pampered like that

If Daniel doesn’t fall asleep before you, it’s a perfect time to whisper sweet nothings at each other, falling more in love if it’s even possible at this stage into your relationship

Pets:

Of course you already knew Daniel had two cats before you moved in together

Now you have three, with Daniel trying to find every excuse in the world to bring home more

You’d have a whole house full if he had it his way

You loved animals so it wasn’t a big deal raising your three cats

Quite often they felt like your children and you would discuss them together like that

“Today Ori stood up when I offered her a treat!”

“Oh my goodness really? Aw I missed it, you should have filmed it!”

Admittedly, you got jealous sometimes with how much attention he’d give them

Or how much he’d spoil them

They had the spare room in your apartment as their designated cat room after all

Let’s be real they had free rein of the house and they ruled you both

Daniel was happy to be the one to clean up behind them the most since he was so used to doing it before you came into his world

You both would feed them each, you in the morning and him at night

But overall, the cats were as much a part of your world as Daniel was

Down time:

Happy to do your own tasks or something together

Gym buddies since you complained about getting too out of shape

Movies were usually your go to for a shared activity

Or you know, something more intimate

Otherwise Daniel would spend his time with the cats, content in playing with them

You liked to read a lot

You had gotten him into adult colouring and now it was something you’d do on Sundays, Daniel insisting on de-stressing together before the new week

Again de-stressing could include de-clothing, but we won’t go there in this, heh (check out Different Kisses if you want more of that side to him)

Liked to go on walks at the park with you when the weather was good

Day/overnight excursions happened twice a month, and generally were planned by Daniel

“Why are we going to the mountains?”

“You mentioned how relaxing you’d find a cabin to be, so let’s see if it is.”

You loved these moments, escaping the daily grind of reality for a magical getaway, making more memories and growing further as a couple

Arguments:

You both usually only bickered about small things like most couples do

But when it was more heated you’d give each other the silent treatment

This changed the whole atmosphere and routines in the apartment

You stuck mostly to the living area whilst he would take the cats into their room and stay with them

Until the argument was over it was like you were housemates, not a couple

Though admittedly, because it was so automatic, you couldn’t help but make him a meal by accident, leaving it for him to eat whenever he came out of the cat room

And he would eat it, not wanting your efforts to go to waste

Awkward waiting on each other when using the bathroom, when usually you just barged in on each other without a care

When the argument was resolved, you spent the next week both really involved in each other’s daily schedule and emotions, trying to get your rhythm back to where it had been

Finances:

You each had your own funds and wanted to keep it that way until marriage

But you both paid an amount each pay into a household account that you had opened together before moving in

That way all the communal bills were taken care of

Groceries you always went in halves for as well

Daniel paid more towards the cats, because he claimed them as his own

Though you wouldn’t hesitate to buy them toys, litter, and feed if you were out and they needed them

At first Daniel kept trying to be the one who paid for dates

But you wanted to start paying too, ever since you moved in together

This was something you sometimes bickered over

And probably the only money related argument you ever had

Because you were both pretty dependable and smart about how you used money

After a couple of months living together you opened another joint account to save for your future, with the agreement if something happened you’d split it evenly

But both of you knew that was never going to happen, so you’d always talk about using the money on getting married or buying a house together one day

I hope you enjoyed this! I enjoyed exploring a different aspect to Daniel!
