Ravio is determined to make use of every second Legend is home.
AKA an excuse for me to write domestic queerplatonic Ravioli fluff.

So focused as he was on the chore, Legend didn’t realise Ravio was humming until Ravio began to sway, bumping hips with him. Used to his partner’s antics and more confident now that they were alone, Legend laughed, returning the hip bump as they always used to, before Legend was dragged from home yet again.
Ravio laughed, high and light, continuing to hum, terribly off-key. Ravio couldn’t hold a tune to save his life, and Legend hadn’t a clue what his partner was trying to hum, winced as he weaved between high and low notes like it was nobody’s business. Ravio’s singing was awful.
“What are you even humming?” Legend asked as he passed the final plate to Ravio, beginning the tough work of the pots and pans.
Ravio took the plate, still swaying and bouncing to the song only he could hear. “Not a soul out there,” he sang, so poorly Legend couldn’t help the delighted laugh that escaped him. “No one to hear my prayer.” Legend laughed harder upon realising just what song Ravio had stuck in his head. Where had he even heard it recently?
“Your singing is terrible,” he said fondly.
“You love it.” Ravio smiled, eyes crinkling.
Legend smiled back. “I do.”
Ravio brightened, and he set the plate down to dry on the rack. “Come on!” And he took Legend’s hands, still wet and soapy, pushing them back and forth to the tune in his head.
Legend rolled his eyes, but acquiesced, entwining his fingers with Ravio’s and joining in. Ravio continued his terribly off-key singing, and Legend offered his on-key humming in turn as they danced around the tiny kitchen, back and forth, eyes bright with joy. Ravio was more than content to lead the dance, complete with random slides and sudden spins that left Legend dizzy and laughing. He pulled Legend closer, set a hand over his waist, pushing their entwined hands out into a more traditional dance. Legend set his hand over Ravio’s shoulder, smiled when his partner gazed fondly at him.
“I missed you,” Ravio said, voice soft in the kitchen as they swayed in circles, stepping back and forth together as they had done so many times before.
Legend leaned forward to rest his forehead against Ravio’s. “I missed you too.”
