[Sometimes you overcome the life-and-death fussiness and you get to switch over to domestic fussiness... except when Luke's getting blown up but listen don't worry about that
But Luke is also not used to having someone around to care for him so readily--even though Eunhyuk's made him food before, he still gets a little !!! about it, like a SAP
[They have apps for everything these days... IT'S NOT BELLA NOTTE it's probably one of his classical playlists, that specifically doesn't have Brahms or Schumann on it. SOMETHING LIKE THIS
Luke doesn't text back because that's dangerous, but after about 20 minutes, Peanut starts to chirp and flutters over to the window. Not long after, Eunhyuk will probably hear the distant sound of Luke's motorcycle pulling up, or at least the beeping from the first floor that indicates all the security measures being turned off. HIS HOUSE THAT'S ALSO A SHOP THAT'S ALSO A BUNKER]
[the way Eunhyuk is comfortable living in a BUNKER HOUSE since he spent a whole month living in a barricaded apartment building,
but he'll go ahead and follow Peanut's lead and head over to the front door to wait for Luke... LISTEN he has all the ingredients out already, he'll just say hi and then go back to making dinner?
or maybe he should just go back to the kitchen and say hi like a normal person when Luke comes in......... he looks over at Peanut like Peanut can help him decide, but Peanut chooses that exact moment to fly over when Luke comes in -- greeting him with cute little chirps and BEATING EUNHYUK TO THE PUNCH!!!! who follows that enthusiastic greeting with a]
[HELP DON'T JUST GO DOWN TWO FLIGHTS OF STAIRS JUST TO THINK ABOUT GOING BACK!!! And Luke really should tease him for man_standing by the door, HE REALLY SHOULD, EUNHYUK WOULD DESERVE IT SO BAD... but he doesn't. He makes his way inside, unbothered by Peanut landing on his shoulder as is his wont--and when he spots Eunhyuk, he lights up, even though he KNEW HE'D BE HERE?? Gay behavior.
He's got two small bags on his arm, which he holds out of the way as he comes over, oblivious to the small crisis Eunhyuk just had. He hesitates himself, then, still a little unused to such easy, recurring domesticity, but it's only for a second before he leans in to kiss Eunhyuk's cheek.]
[LISTEN.... sometimes you have so many feelings and you're not used to dealing with all of them... like right now when Luke kisses his cheek and Eunhyuk has to either combust like a stupid idiot -- or do the smart and rational thing of releasing his feelings through a suitable outlet,
like reaching over to take the bags from Luke, and then taking his hand in his. hand-holding... THIS WILL MAKE GOING UP THE STAIRS SO AWKWARD but it's fine they'll manage,]
Thanks. [...] ...Welcome home.
[the words feel even softer to say, and make him feel soft too instead of combusting on the spot. he gazes into luke's eyes very gayly until peanut chirps like 'hello?' RIGHT. anyway. they should go back upstairs.... he'll start leading them up,]
[He lets Eunhyuk take one of the bags, which he can look into if he likes, though all he'll see is a cute box from a nearby bakery; the other bag, he keeps himself, taking Eunhyuk's hand with his free one instead.
It isn't the first time Eunhyuk's welcomed him back since they got settled, but it never fails to make his heart skip, and he can't stop himself from smiling (not that he wants to). He really would've been fine just standing in the shop and holding hands for a little while, but unfortunately his bIRD CHILD doesn't respect their need to bask in each other, so up the stairs they go. IT IS SUCH A NARROW STAIRCASE but it's fine, he doesn't mind following if it means they get to keep holding hands. He'll let Peanut out in a bit so that they can be undisturbed, it's fine...]
Roll cake. I remembered they were promoting their new mango flavor, so I got that one and the standard, just in case it's too sweet. [(val voice)]
[He will gayly hold hands with Luke all the way to the kitchen where he’ll pop the box into the fridge, how does he do that one handed WELL somehow he manages,]
We can have it with tea after dinner.
[speaking of, he looks at the vegetables he was in the middle of dicing, then at Luke’s hand, and lets him go with obvious reluctance…]
Why don’t you wash up? I’ll finish up the meal prep.
But once they're upstairs, Peanut flies over to perch by the window, expectantly waiting; Luke glances at his bird, then at the evidence of Eunhyuk working in the kitchen, simply taking a minute to soak in the warmth that fills him at the sight. His expression is soft when he looks back at Eunhyuk, and he reaches up to put a hand on his face, drawing him close.]
Hold on. [He closes the distance, pressing his lips to Eunhyuk's once, twice--he doesn't stop until he's given five soft, chaste kisses.] There--one for each hour we were apart.
Eunhyuk leans in to follow as Luke draws back, eyes blinking open as Luke gives him a LIMIT!!! no, he thinks this is very sweet actually... a corner of his mouth quirks up,]
What if we make it every half hour instead?
[teasing but also maybe?
Peanut continues to wait expectantly to be let outside..............]
