It was a blistering cold day today, the wood stove was running as well as it could manage with wood being stacked high into it, in order to keep the home warm.

Thanks to Mink of course. Who labored in the early spring and summer to chop, dry, carry, and collect the wood needed for winter.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the wood stove was a familiar scent by now.

Today Aoba had company unlike other days. The older man worked from home today. It eased any stress Aoba had, as he watched herbs being mixed to create everyday medicines. The world has a drug for just about everything, but to take a natural plant and create a home remedy that offered no side effects was readily wanted by others.

On the side from taking orders and making these remedies, Mink often created dream catches and beautiful beaded jewelry.

The scent of lavender met Aoba’s nose.

“What are you making,” Aoba thought aloud.

Typical silence followed the question, Aoba understanding that Mink was looking for a stopping point.

Just as predicted, once a measurement was taken into the bowl, he looked up.

“A lotion than can help with stress and depression. The properties of the lavender ease the mind.”

“And it works if you just apply it to your hands?”

“It can be applied to other parts of the body as well. The lavender oil is what makes the lotion special.”

“Why not give them the oil?”

“Oi. You ask too many questions. Some prefer having a lotion over an oil.”

Aoba’s cheeks turned a bright red at the remark of his questions. Aoba obediently held his tongue before another question left his lips. Lost in thought, large, warm, work-worn hands reached across the table for Aoba’s hands. The warmth mixed with the smooth lotion and the calming smell, caused the younger to sigh. After applying the lotion followed a simple hand massage.

Just from the simple act, goosebumps scattered on Aoba's pale skin.
dumb drabble I came up with but will never finish LOL.
