[Luke leans on him and Eunhyuk can only think about how ill-equipped he is at comfort, at how he's spent so many years failing to give exactly that for Eunyoo, at how he never knows the right words to say or the right thing to do. If he and Luke's positions were reversed, then he'd have no doubt that Luke would succeed where Eunhyuk fails. That's Luke's strength, not Eunhyuk's, and somehow Luke loves him despite that. Luke still wants him here. He's choosing to trust and rely on him, despite everything. Eunhyuk's more grateful than all his inadequate words can say.
All Eunhyuk can do right now is be present. He likes to think that he's learned not to sacrifice parts of himself for the sake of his loved ones, but that might be because he hasn't had the opportunity to since moving to Stellis -- either way, he'll take that as the small win it is. Instead of adding to Luke's worries, he can at least reassure him that he'll always be here.
He finishes with Luke's hair, tucking a strand of it behind his ear, when Luke speaks up. His gaze goes immediately to the drawer and then back, but he keeps whatever questions he has in favor of moving to retrieve said box -- settling back next to Luke with it in hand.
He holds it out for Luke to take, even if his first instinct is to open it and see -- he doesn't think it's medicine, that if Luke needed anything then Eunhyuk would find it back in the cabinet, but if it's not medicine, then what could it be?]
