Thread: Taking care of daddy (xyzam and strangelove)

It wasn't too long after Cody had left for work that Joshua had started to get prepared himself. He had already taken a shower that morning, with his wife to be specific, so there wasn't much else for him to do besides double and triple check to make sure he had his identification in order to lawfully occupy the roads. He had intentionally made it a habit to leave his work uniforms at work to make room for any situations that might rise in terms of him forgetting them at home. Squeezing a dollop of leave-in conditioner into his hand, he proceeded to rub them together and lather the product through his hair. Taking a rubber band he usually left around his wrist by habit, he collected his locks in one fist as the band was wrapped around the mass of hair strands into a bun. It was a decently sized bun, the length of his hair making the look a lot cuter and fitting for his face. Joshua then took some of the beard oil he kept for particularly long days and applied it to the lower half of his face that was most occupied by his facial hair, that being his goatee which connected to his beard. After looking pointedly at himself in the mirror, he left on to work. Police work was mundane and tiring, it most definitely wasn't repetitive, as Joshua tended to meet different types of speeders everyday. But monitoring the city streets wasn't as exciting as his colleagues make it out to be. Fortunately, or in Joshuas case, unfortunately it was rare for heinous crimes to occur, which inevitably meant that his work days were filled with speeding tickets and calls for missing minors that were found within 5 hours. Though, he was in no position to complain as it left him out of any real danger and allowed his wife to sleep peacefully at night. It was quite late by the time Joshua had pulled into his driveway. His exhaustion lead him to drive rather slowly, not that there was any real need for him to rush. Though, he was looking forward to a nice hot shower to take off the days sweat and bacteria. After he parked and turned off the car he breathed out slowly, leaning the back of his head against the driver's seat. He was more exhausted than he had originally thought. His bun had become quite disheveled and strings of hair now fell away from the set direction it originally was in being in the bun. Unconsciously looking down at himself, Joshua frowned. He had forgotten to take off his uniform before he left. It was not common for this to happen to Josh as he was a forgetful person by nature, what he never forgot and set into routine was to never leave the house with it on. A deep sigh left his lips as the thought of knowing he would have to wash and eventually bring the outfit back to work with him. Once enough resolve was gathered, Joshua then exited the car and made his way to the door. Keys already in hand, he swiftly unlocked the front door and entered. The first thing he registered was the smell of food, not quite cooked, but nonetheless food. Joshua was immediately pleased and smiled brightly at the sight of his stepson. Youre up late. The depth of his vocals and the apparent tiredness in his voice surprised himself. A thought of possibly taking some time off soon crossed Joshuas mind. He paced towards his stepson, smile beaming now. Kids like you should be in bed at this hour.
