[Through it all, Luke watches him closely, a warm smile on his face as emotions break across Eunhyuk's. He hadn't been nervous, exactly, but it settles something in his chest to see his gift well-received. It's not the first time Eunhyuk's looked at him with such wonder and adoration, and in dark moments, he's still so certain he doesn't deserve it--but right now, he feels nothing but love and contentment.
It's a gift for Eunhyuk, certainly, but in a way, it's a gift for himself, too. Eunhyuk can fill up those empty pages with anything he wants, and Luke won't push him. But the selfish part of him hopes that Eunhyuk has the same vision for it that he did: A rich future, side by side, enough to fill a hundred albums just like this one.
He doesn't need to hear any fancy words. He doesn't even really need Eunhyuk's gratitude. The sight of Eunhyuk's smile, completely unfettered, is more than enough to satisfy him, as much he can be satisfied when it comes to Eunhyuk. He's not sure he ever truly will be. All he can do is hope that Eunhyuk never tires of his greed. (Of him.)
In lieu of a spoken answer, he cups Eunhyuk's face with his hands and draws him into a kiss, answering the emotions he sees in Eunhyuk's eyes this way. He can tell him about the collar in the bag later (THIS IS A JOKE THERE'S NO COLLAR IN THERE)]
Eunhyuk leans into the kiss, even if he can't exactly fall into it the way he wants to with the key in his hand and album in his lap. instead, he closes the book shut, places the key on top of it, and maneuvers it to the side. there. now he has all the space he likes to face Luke properly, hands free to tug the collar of whatever insane shirt he's wearing down so he can kiss the skin there too,
he wants luke on every page in that album, just like how he wants Luke here now, present and with him. but instead of just POUNCING, he draws back a little, sliding his arms around Luke's neck]
Do you still want dessert?
[luke only had one serving of spaghetti..................... he's probably hungry for real..............]
A more fastidious person would pull away to move the album somewhere safe right away, but Luke leaves things on his bed constantly, so it doesn't bother him. If he thought about it hard enough, he'd probably like it, even, since it's a sign Eunhyuk feels comfortable here, and Luke never gets tired of thinking about that. He also never gets tired of Eunhyuk's mouth on his skin, and he shows it by leaning his head to the side, tangling his fingers in Eunhyuk's hair. He can be wearing this without the terrible jacket since he took it off earlier.
Could he eat more food, ALWAYS!!! But as Eunhyuk may have noticed already, their time on the ship was not a fluke... there may have been a sense of urgency those last two weeks, when they had to make the most of the time they had in unbroken bodies and then, immediately after, they were up against an unknowable enemy, but returning home has only made Luke more affectionate, not less. He lowers his other hand to slip underneath Eunhyuk's shirt, which is probably a normal T-shirt unless he's decided to just borrow Luke's awful clothes,,,]
We can have it later. It's fine in the fridge. [By affectionate I meant horny]
[eunhyuk as he wears one of luke's outfits in an attempt to boyfriend shirt trap him. BUT NO HE'S WEARING A NORMAL T SHIRT..... maybe one day he will wear the string shirt and see if Luke is still this affectionate when he's wearing a stupid outfit (is eunhyuk still horny when Luke wears his stupid outfits... yes but LISTEN......)
also yeah!!! he's noticed this!! but he doesn't hate it because why would he hate it!! it means Luke will always tilt his head at this exact angle for him every time, it means Eunhyuk will always feel his hands on his skin, now at a comfortable temperature, and it especially means that he can push Luke down and fall with him on top of the bed, kissing up Luke's neck and closer to his ear, nipping at his earlobe]
Tomorrow. You'll be too tired tonight.
[this is very confident for a guy who mostly stays home all day while Luke goes out and gets all his steps in.... Eunhyuk slides his glasses off and places them on the bedside table anyway, moving to straddle Luke like he's thinking of topping even though HE was the one who GOT A CUTE PRESENT TONIGHT]
[HELP INSTEAD OF THEM GETTING BETTER FASHION SENSE EUNHYUK JUST GOT STOCKHOLMED INTO LIKING LUKE'S NOOOO SOMEONE SAVE EUNHYUK FROM THIS RELATIONSHIP
Especially because, even though Luke falls back willingly, he laughs? He scoots onto the bed properly and leans back on his elbows, watching Eunhyuk--but he laughs nonetheless.]
Someone's confident. [Teasing, a little daring--which is funny, because it's not like Eunhyuk doesn't have every right to be? But Eunhyuk should also know by now that Luke could never be satisfied with lying back and doing nothing forever...]
[STOP. LISTEN. EUNYOO AND ROSA TAG TEAM AND BUY THEM BOTH NEW CLOTHES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
for now he'll take this moment to admire Luke in an outfit that doesn't have a clear pocket protector, even if he can only really see his shirt while sitting on top of him like this. MAYBE HIS PANTS ARE ALSO UNEVEN............. he leans down to kiss his smiling mouth, uncaring of his uneven pants. maybe he has been stock holmed.....]
I want to show you how much I appreciate you.
[usually at this point their clothes are already OFF but Eunhyuk mirrors Luke's move from earlier instead, sliding his hands underneath Luke's shirt and caressing the skin underneath, gently tracing muscle. he wants to feel him with his now normal, human hands --]
[Rosa lets Luke dress like this already so it's really all up to Eunyoo... SAVE THEM, JUDGMENTAL TEENAGER
He's ready for Eunhyuk's kiss, and he meets him without hesitation, drawing his tongue across Eunhyuk's lips to coax them apart. The warmth of him is such a novelty, still. Maybe it was crazy, the way Luke hadn't really minded the lack of it, before--but if he couldn't get enough then, he's downright insatiable now, more than a little obsessed with the proof of Eunhyuk's restored humanity.
Even if his hands are warm, his touch still makes Luke shiver. And for a moment, it's tempting to let his thoughts disperse with each stroke of Eunhyuk's fingertips. It's not like he'd made concrete plans beyond giving Eunhyuk the album, after all? Nothing would be ruined if he decided to lay back and let Eunhyuk do as he pleases.
But... no. Not this time. His grin loses its sharp edges as overwhelming affection overtakes him, and he sits up, wrapping his arms around Eunhyuk to pull him closer. He nudges Eunhyuk's knees a little farther apart as if to settle him on his lap instead.]
You show me that every day. [He sees it in Eunhyuk's sleeping face beside him every morning, in the fridge full of ingredients Luke didn't buy and the clothes that have mixed with his own. Eunhyuk has settled so beautifully into his home, as if his presence perfectly filled in holes that Luke hadn't even known were there.
He shows it like this, too, and it's not like Luke is complaining, but--] This time, it's my turn.
[i want to say that she will but she also lets eunhyuk wear flannel so maybe they are doomed
...Luke holds him so securely in his arms and kisses him just as sweetly, and Eunhyuk clutches at him in return, feeling for once -- out of his depth, but... not in a bad way. just in a way that he's starting to realize -- that Luke does love him, and isn't afraid to show that in a clear, uncomplicated way, and that he can tell that Eunhyuk loves him too, even without words.
it's not that Eunhyuk is bad with words -- or maybe he is, so often does he cut to the chase, blunt and clipped and cold. it made him an effective leader, but a less than effective lover. words are just words when he says them, but they sound like poetry from Luke, who somehow always knows exactly what to say to tug on Eunhyuk's heartstrings, who manages to go above and beyond for him every time with his words and actions and tongue and hands --
their bodies are closer together now, chest to chest, and Eunhyuk's heart thrums beneath his skin in anticipation. ...want is still new for him, and greed even more foreign. but maybe he can learn, maybe he can take his cues from Luke, ever doting.]
...Alright.
[he spreads his knees and presses his forehead against his, relaxing into his hold]
[Luke's never wanted anyone to worry about him. It's one of the things he simultaneously loves and hates about Eunhyuk--it's no easier to be seen now than it ever was. Luke hates to burden his loved ones with his guilt, sorrow, or fears, and that's true even with all the lessons he learned on the ship.
Showing his love is another matter entirely. What Eunhyuk hears as poetry is, to Luke, nothing more than his honest thoughts and feelings--not the affection he'd locked away for Rosa, but wholly new creations, free to leave his lips as soon as they form in his heart. To him, they're a barely adequate response to all the comfort and joy Eunhyuk brings into his life. And perhaps it's a good thing that Luke is made of bottled up daydreams and heartfelt sentiments choked back from the tip of his tongue. It means those words come forth easily, now that he's met someone he doesn't have to hide from--and it means that he'll never stop attempting to adequately convey his love, a totally unreachable goal.
That's alright, though. It just means a lifetime of trying, and Luke only thinks in lifetimes anyway.
He rewards Eunhyuk's acquiescence with a deep kiss, and though it's tempting to keep him right where he is, Luke's feeling merciful today. He tightens his hold as he rolls them over, guiding Eunhyuk to lay right where he'd just been. It's not the aggressive judo flip he likes to do when he's riled up--instead, it's a gentle, controlled fall, as if Luke doesn't want to put any more space between them than he has to.
Only when he's settled comfortably on top of him does he pull back, his eyes bright and playful.]
I thought you'd argue more than that. [Since Eunhyuk likes to TEASE even more than he likes getting roughed up, which is really saying something]
[the thing about greed is that Eunhyuk will want more -- more of Luke's love, his guilt, his sorrow, his fears -- everything that makes him so intrinsically Luke, everything that no one else besides Eunhyuk will continue to be privy to, like his mouth -- the precise shape of his lips on Eunhyuk's, a shape that he traces with his tongue before drawing him in further. it's a kiss that he's content to be lost in, little shocks of lightning skating down his spine with every press, but then Luke moves them, more gently than what Eunhyuk's used to (USUALLY HE'S BEING YAHTZEE-D?), but still very effective? He can feel the strength in Luke's arms this way too, the gentle pressure of his body laid on top of his.
he blinks back up at Luke, the look in his eyes hazy where Luke's is playful, and it takes a moment for him to think of something besides how much he wants to kiss Luke again,]
Mm. [well LISTEN ACTUALLY GIVE HIM ANOTHER MOMENT,
...]
You gave me a gift.
[he cups the side of Luke's face with his hand, touching the corner of his mouth with his thumb, gentle and loving. and if his other hand is slowly dragging Luke's shirt up well listen, their clothes have to come off at some point? why not now???]
[Before he realized the true nature of his feelings, Luke responded to Eunhyuk's teasing with aggression. And he still does sometimes, but these days, he's much better at teasing back, or doing it first. At the end of the day, though, Luke likes giving Eunhyuk what he wants too much. Like now, when that look in his eyes makes Luke want to do everything he can to keep it there. He sacrifices getting his hands on Eunhyuk immediately to tug his shirt off like Eunhyuk so clearly wants, and he turns his face into Eunhyuk's hand as if following his lead, kissing his thumb first, then his palm, down to his wrist.
He is, however, as competitive as he's always been, and he's stubborn when he wants to be. So Eunhyuk's words draw him out of his indulgence, and he "hmm"s as he dips his head to mouth his way up Eunhyuk's neck, sliding his hands under his shirt.]
You don't think I can tire you out? [Sounds like a CHALLENGE to him]
[Eunhyuk is not nearly as ticklish as Luke is, who just SUCCUMBS with the smallest of touches, but he's more sensitive in some spots -- like his wrists, which feel tingly when Luke kisses him there -- and his neck, skin warming, anticipating teeth. he tries not to squirm, even though at this point Luke knows all of these spots, but listen -- maybe he's competitive too? and selfish too, more interested in touching Luke back then taking off his OWN shirt,]
I'll never get tired of you.
[Eunhyuk replies, knowing that WASN'T WHAT LUKE WAS ASKING???? still, it's relevant, because he never will, just like how he'll never tire of touching Luke's bare skin -- the hand on his face moving down to his neck, shoulder, bicep -- the other very unashamedly feeling up his stupid fcking EIGHT PACK ABS? WHY DOES HE HAVE EIGHT? WHY NOT SIX -- not that Eunhyuk's complaining,]
You're beautiful.
[he says it like Luke is wondrous, the sincerity in his tone is what saves this line from sounding as cringey as it should (IT PROBABLY DOES SOUND A LITTLE CRINGE), but anyway he says 'beautiful' and he MEANS IT. maybe luke should wear horrible clothes every day actually so that it'll nerf him forever from anyone else figuring out that he's beautiful too.
eunhyuk fortunately doesn't say that because it's too insane]
[It's such a sweet sentiment, but Luke laughs quietly against Eunhyuk's skin, pleased by the way he can feel it heating up. He doesn't respond right away, choosing instead to do exactly what Eunhyuk expects and sink his teeth into the same spot he always does, which will make it incredibly awkward if there are any customers tomorrow--but that's not Luke's problem? If Eunhyuk's embarrassed by the mark Luke's so intent on leaving below the curve of his jaw, just one of many more to come, well, he can just close the shop, as far as Luke's concerned.
He rocks his hips against Eunhyuk's as he pushes Eunhyuk's shirt up, slow and lazy, like they have all the time in the world. It's a far cry from the urgency he'd felt on the ship, the ever-present knowledge that they had to make the most of their time together, just in case it was all they'd get. Eunhyuk's hands leave trails of fire across his body, and Luke finds himself drawn to it like he's seeking a lit hearth on a winter night. He shifts to press into Eunhyuk's touch, as sensitive as ever but too hungry for contact to care.
When he's finally satisfied with his handiwork, he pulls back just enough to press a hot, open-mouthed kiss to the bruise he'd created, murmuring low enough that Eunhyuk might feel his words more than he'll hear them.]
You know that's not what I meant. [He splays his hand over Eunhyuk's chest, pressing down to feel his heartbeat.] I think I've let you get away with too much.
[There's not much that embarrasses Eunhyuk, but he's never had to work with visible bruises on his skin before? But maybe they still won't embarrass him -- maybe the thought of them excites him instead, a visible mark that will last this time, beyond four hours, for everyone to see. it's not a collar -- but it's as good as one, and he likes that idea too. maybe talking about tails awoke something in him.............
the air in the room feels cool once his shirt is off -- finally -- though Eunhyuk likes this too, the way Luke is taking his time with him. the air is cool but he feels hot all over, thanks to the heat of Luke's hand pressed against his chest, to his mouth pressing against the bruise on his neck. he swallows a laugh, the adam's apple in his throat bobbing up against Luke's lips,]
You could let me get away with more.
[he reaches for Luke's zipper, tugging it down. he's into taking it slow, being taken care of, but he's also into the motion of Luke's hips rocking against his, and wouldn't that feel better without their pants in the way?]
[More often than not, Luke trends towards being sweet and loving, rather than being an outright menace--but it's a good thing that Eunhyuk's thoughts don't show on his face, because even Luke wouldn't be able to resist teasing him forever if he could read Eunhyuk's mind. EUNHYUK WILL JUST HAVE TO SHARE HIS PETPLAY KINK WITH HIS WORDS...
They're on the same page in some ways nonetheless, and he mouths his way across Eunhyuk's throat, leaving a trail of bites in his wake. He makes an effort not to be too rough, but he can't help how sharp his canines are and Eunhyuk has never given him reason to believe he doesn't like it, so he doesn't try that hard.
He catches Eunhyuk's hands before he can get too far, though, drawing them up and pinning them to the mattress on either side of Eunhyuk's head. He nips at the delicate skin beneath Eunhyuk's ear before he shifts up enough to steal another kiss, hot and demanding.]
Or I could keep you like this. [He feels more breathless than he sounds, when he pulls away to speak--but Luke is nothing if not an expert at keeping his composure when he wants to, and he taps into that skill as he looks into Eunhyuk's dark eyes, as if daring him to decide whether it's a bluff or not.]
[STOP IT'S NOT A PETPLAY KINK just a perpetually horny for Luke kink,
Eunhyuk continues showing zero signs that he dislikes Luke's SHARP CANINES, in fact his breathing grows more ragged with every bite. the only sign of dissatisfaction is how he tugs his hands a little from under Luke's grip, not quite frustrated (YET), but also he wants to touch Luke too? the rest of the room is a blur thanks to his terrible vision, but Luke stands out in clear definition -- the look on his face too, confident and composed like he hadn't just kissed Eunhyuk hard enough to scatter all his thoughts,
it's an excellent attempt. if he didn't know Luke, intimately and emotionally and in all the ways that matter, then he'd believe his cool expression.]
You could. ...But I want to kiss you.
[Luke is still stronger than him, for all of Eunhyuk's efforts to build himself back up. a part of him likes that. but he doesn't need strength to tilt his face up and close his teeth around Luke's bottom lip, nipping hard]
Everywhere.
[and there are places he can't reach if he's pinned down like this?]
What he should really do is shift over and slide his leg between Eunhyuk's, press his thigh up just so and distract Eunhyuk that way. But he loves when Eunhyuk challenges him like this, no matter how much he acts like he doesn't. He loves the cut of Eunhyuk's teeth on his lip and the way he's holding onto his confidence--the low tone of Eunhyuk's voice makes his stomach curl in anticipation, and the sight of the red necklace he'd worked into Eunhyuk's skin makes him grind his hips forward again, though it's less intentional this time.
But he's on a mission tonight, so he tightens his grip on Eunhyuk's wrists, edging away from a light restraint to a firm, unrelenting hold.]
Another time. [His tone is still affectionate, but there's an edge to it now, a touch of demanding energy. He's usually a little less direct than Eunhyuk is, mostly because he doesn't really have to be given how ready Eunhyuk is to jump him all the time, but he wants to be clear, so--] I want to fuck you tonight.
[It's a combination of a number of things -- the increased pressure of Luke's hands on his wrists, the authoritative edge to his voice, the very direct way Luke delivers those words. if it was just one at a time, then they'd still be effective, but all together? Eunhyuk doesn't usually get shy or feel embarrassed -- the few times he has were always because of someone's sincerity, usually Luke's, sweetly delivered.
There's nothing sweet about this though, but he flushes at the words all the same, the red dusting the tips of his ears, crawling down his neck, to his shoulders. Unfortunately, getting embarrassed only makes him more embarrassed, because he really shouldn't be -- after all the times he's made love to Luke in so many places. Technically, he's the more experienced one? And also, this isn't the first time Luke's topped???? But -- the last few times were sweet and soft, and usually initiated by Eunhyuk because he really likes jumping Luke for apparently every reason ever --
Which he really wants to do now, if only to distract Luke from looking at him -- from seeing him in a way no one else ever will, flushed and embarrassed and eager and hungry. anticipation burns in his veins, and greed makes him push his hips up, even as he takes a moment to steady his voice,]
[Unfortunately for Eunhyuk, the more he wants to hide and rush past his embarrassment, the more Luke wants to see him like this. Is it mean... maybe it is!!! Maybe between Rosa and Eunhyuk, Luke's developed a taste for bullying!!! But can he really be blamed when Eunhyuk's skin heats up so beautifully, when his composure breaks, all thanks to his words? Luke isn't really the dirty talk type, but he has half a mind to learn how just to see Eunhyuk like this more often.
But for now, he's happy to lean down and kiss his way across Eunhyuk's cheek until he can claim his mouth again, unable to resist. He presses his thumbs a little harder into Eunhyuk's wrists, savoring the feeling of his pulse--before he loosens his grip and drags Eunhyuk's hands higher, up above his head. Once he's satisfied, he lets go, though he runs his hands down Eunhyuk's arms as he sits back again.]
You first. [Luke really wore his outside clothes on the bed tsk tsk] Keep your hands there, I'll get them.
[Eunhyuk had said he wanted to show Luke how much he loved him--but that's exactly what Luke intends to do. CAN EUNHYUK PILLOW PRINCESS that's the real question here]
[CAN HE PILLOW PRINCESS.... THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION
Eunhyuk's hands open and close, then form fists as he tries to decide if he can stay still just like this for Luke, even if what he really wants to do is pull Luke down onto the bed with him and trap him in return. HIS '_' EXPRESSION JUST SHY OF TURNING INTO A POUTY :/ FACE INSTEAD,
but he can't deny the allure of Luke undressing him -- usually the process is fast and mindless for the both of them -- of having his attention solely on him the entire time. BUT ALSO. it's soooo hard. there's something about Luke's orders that make Eunhyuk want to challenge them!!!! anyway he stays relatively still, SURPRISINGLY, except for lifting his hips so Luke can get at his pants and underwear more easily, wow. so obedient.
except for the part where he presses his leg in between Luke's thighs, grinding with intent, eyes pinned on Luke's, the corner of his mouth quirking into a smile.]
[Are you back in your smut era yaywon... proud of you
Luke seems pleased that Eunhyuk listens long enough to let him strip the rest of his clothes off, and he kicks his own pants off in return, though he leaves his underwear on. Is this teasing... maybe!!! But more importantly, it also means it's a little easier for Luke to hold onto his control, even though it's very easy to see that he isn't unaffected. Truly, half the reason he lets Eunhyuk get away with being more of a top than him is because every time they switch, he understands the appeal of having someone you find devastatingly attractive, someone you love so deeply, looking up at you, eyes hazy with want and need. He can't really fault Eunhyuk for liking it so much... but Luke is a terrible combination of service-minded and prideful, so here they are.
He rewards Eunhyuk with a brief kiss as he leans over him, reaching over to the bedside table--something he'd bought so that Eunhyuk would have an easy place to set his glasses at night, but also a convenient place to store their lube considering they probably bang like every damn day. God. It's as he's pulling back, bottle in hand, that Eunhyuk's leg catches him just so, and although he'd expected disobedience because Eunhyuk is ALWAYS LIKE THIS, it catches him off-guard enough that he falters, his free hand automatically falling to the bed to keep him steady. His lips part on a moan, but he catches himself before any sound can escape, and he holds very still, simply hovering over Eunhyuk with his face just barely out of his line of sight.
When he does finally sit all the way back, his eyes are very dark, and his expression is unreadable. Truly it was merciful of him to take his pants off so that Eunhyuk doesn't have to guess whether or not he actually likes something, since his face sure isn't giving it away.]
I did, [Calmly, as he uncaps the bottle and moistens his hand, apparently he's being nice still? Sweet and loving Luke is still in the building?] but you knew what I meant. [Luke is NOT a scholar who will award points for being pedantic :\\\
But that's fine. If Eunhyuk can't stay still, then Luke will just remove all temptations? He climbs off of him...
Imagine if he just left. No, he just slides further down the bed, taking Eunhyuk in hand and stroking leisurely--did he warm up the lube, no, okay maybe he's being mean after all--as he nudges Eunhyuk's legs further apart to make room for him. He settles once he's able to comfortably rest his head on Eunhyuk's hip, which he latches onto, scraping his teeth against the jut of bone there--
But he doesn't say anything else, so maybe that's the extent of his scolding? Hmmm...]
Eunhyuk thinks he should get points, honestly. he was being good?? he's still being good now for not hooking his arms around Luke's waist and peeling off his underwear while he was caught off-guard, downright herculean in his attempts to keep still. It's his self-control that keeps him frozen, despite the tangled riot of his emotions and the way his breathing is quicker now. it's his self-control and not the way he's mesmerized by the shade of Luke's coral pink eyes, now a deep red, pinned by his stare. it's the shade of his gaze that clues him in, the calm rhythm of his voice, that as sweet and loving as Luke is, he can be all that and more? Eunhyuk watches him as carefully as he always does, which is pretty impressive for a guy who usually can't see without his glasses --
but Luke is close enough to see now, and Eunhyuk's gaze isn't so hazy that he can't track his movements, the liquid gleaming in Luke's hand. the anticipation feels like a thunderstorm, building and building -- and then he hisses out loud in both surprise and pleasure -- because he's been so hot this entire time that Luke's hand on him feels like an ICE CUBE, and wow -- for once he can feel it from the other side, and he'd think longer and harder about how sympathetic he is for Luke having to endure his own cold hands this entire time -- except Luke BITES him and he forgets to think at all --
a full-body shudder runs through him instead, at the flinch of pain, the flare of desire, starting where he can feel the press of Luke's teeth, and leaving him in an startled gasp. damn. maybe he can pillow princess after all.
it takes a moment to collect himself -- and honestly, he's not really that composed -- just enough to prop himself up with his elbows so he can look at Luke -- he moved his hands again but listen, surely Luke will give him this -- he just wants to see him now that he's done SCOLDING HIM... RIGHT]
And yeah, Eunhyuk can sit up to look at him? That's allowed, sure, totally.
...Is it a good idea, though?
Because when he does it, it's right as Luke lets him go and drops his hand even lower, easing his fingers into him. And Luke makes it his business to be good at a lot of things, but memorizing what his beloved likes is always going to be at the top of that list? So although they haven't been dating all that long, they've done this enough for Luke to feel confident in the pace he sets and the way he angles his wrist. As a kind(?) and merciful(???) lover, he even abandons the mark he was working into Eunhyuk's hip in order to lean back over, ready to take Eunhyuk into his mouth--but he pauses before he does, lifting his head to make sure Eunhyuk knows he's looking at his face, even if Eunhyuk can't see his expression clearly.]
I want to see you fall apart just like this, first.
[Eunhyuk: You'll be tired Luke: And I took that personally
[okay well listen let no one say that Eunhyuk makes good decisions, because the moment he props himself up to look -- his arms immediately start wobbling, turning into jelly at the press of Luke's fingers, and it takes every bit of his vastly dwindling control not to fall back onto the mattress, to not squeeze his eyes shut at the curve of Luke's hand, not so much exploring but knowing him. Luke knows all his angles, but Eunhyuk's not familiar with this one -- usually, they'd be face to face. he'd be kissing him, muffling his moans into the warmth of Luke's mouth, but he's so far away -- he gasps,]
Luke.
[strands of his hair has fallen into his eyes, making him look as disheveled as he feels, so he can't really see, but he can feel every exhale of every word Luke murmurs against his cock -- which is insane in a bad way that's not actually bad but good? more than good -- and oh god he's already so overstimulated and Luke isn't even BLOWING HIM YET, because normally, he'd come apart from luke's fingers or his mouth, one OR the other, not both at the same time? Eunhyuk bites down on his lip to stifle another groan, and then -- very shakily,]
That's cheating.
[THAT'S CHEATING.... THAT'S BREAKING THE ARBITRARY RULE HE SET UP RIGHT NOW,]
Eunhyuk might not be able to see him well, but the same is not true at all for Luke, who drinks in the sight of him--and actually, he kind of loves knowing he can stare as shamelessly as he wants, that he can drink in the sight of Eunhyuk's composure cracking into pieces while Eunhyuk has to use his imagination--UNFORTUNATELY FOR EUNHYUK THE DOM S STREAK IS REAL!!!
He dips his head down to kiss Eunhyuk's stomach, mostly to let Eunhyuk feel his smile.]
It's not. [IGNORES HIS RULES and crooks his fingers, meanly] I'm showing you how much I love you.
[Through torture, yeah, but Eunhyuk likes it so too bad]

It's a gift for Eunhyuk, certainly, but in a way, it's a gift for himself, too. Eunhyuk can fill up those empty pages with anything he wants, and Luke won't push him. But the selfish part of him hopes that Eunhyuk has the same vision for it that he did: A rich future, side by side, enough to fill a hundred albums just like this one.
He doesn't need to hear any fancy words. He doesn't even really need Eunhyuk's gratitude. The sight of Eunhyuk's smile, completely unfettered, is more than enough to satisfy him, as much he can be satisfied when it comes to Eunhyuk. He's not sure he ever truly will be. All he can do is hope that Eunhyuk never tires of his greed. (Of him.)
In lieu of a spoken answer, he cups Eunhyuk's face with his hands and draws him into a kiss, answering the emotions he sees in Eunhyuk's eyes this way. He can tell him about the collar in the bag later (THIS IS A JOKE THERE'S NO COLLAR IN THERE)]
no subject
Eunhyuk leans into the kiss, even if he can't exactly fall into it the way he wants to with the key in his hand and album in his lap. instead, he closes the book shut, places the key on top of it, and maneuvers it to the side. there. now he has all the space he likes to face Luke properly, hands free to tug the collar of whatever insane shirt he's wearing down so he can kiss the skin there too,
he wants luke on every page in that album, just like how he wants Luke here now, present and with him. but instead of just POUNCING, he draws back a little, sliding his arms around Luke's neck]
Do you still want dessert?
[luke only had one serving of spaghetti..................... he's probably hungry for real..............]
no subject
A more fastidious person would pull away to move the album somewhere safe right away, but Luke leaves things on his bed constantly, so it doesn't bother him. If he thought about it hard enough, he'd probably like it, even, since it's a sign Eunhyuk feels comfortable here, and Luke never gets tired of thinking about that. He also never gets tired of Eunhyuk's mouth on his skin, and he shows it by leaning his head to the side, tangling his fingers in Eunhyuk's hair. He can be wearing this without the terrible jacket since he took it off earlier.
Could he eat more food, ALWAYS!!! But as Eunhyuk may have noticed already, their time on the ship was not a fluke... there may have been a sense of urgency those last two weeks, when they had to make the most of the time they had in unbroken bodies and then, immediately after, they were up against an unknowable enemy, but returning home has only made Luke more affectionate, not less. He lowers his other hand to slip underneath Eunhyuk's shirt, which is probably a normal T-shirt unless he's decided to just borrow Luke's awful clothes,,,]
We can have it later. It's fine in the fridge. [By affectionate I meant horny]
no subject
also yeah!!! he's noticed this!! but he doesn't hate it because why would he hate it!! it means Luke will always tilt his head at this exact angle for him every time, it means Eunhyuk will always feel his hands on his skin, now at a comfortable temperature, and it especially means that he can push Luke down and fall with him on top of the bed, kissing up Luke's neck and closer to his ear, nipping at his earlobe]
Tomorrow. You'll be too tired tonight.
[this is very confident for a guy who mostly stays home all day while Luke goes out and gets all his steps in.... Eunhyuk slides his glasses off and places them on the bedside table anyway, moving to straddle Luke like he's thinking of topping even though HE was the one who GOT A CUTE PRESENT TONIGHT]
no subject
Especially because, even though Luke falls back willingly, he laughs? He scoots onto the bed properly and leans back on his elbows, watching Eunhyuk--but he laughs nonetheless.]
Someone's confident. [Teasing, a little daring--which is funny, because it's not like Eunhyuk doesn't have every right to be? But Eunhyuk should also know by now that Luke could never be satisfied with lying back and doing nothing forever...]
no subject
for now he'll take this moment to admire Luke in an outfit that doesn't have a clear pocket protector, even if he can only really see his shirt while sitting on top of him like this. MAYBE HIS PANTS ARE ALSO UNEVEN............. he leans down to kiss his smiling mouth, uncaring of his uneven pants. maybe he has been stock holmed.....]
I want to show you how much I appreciate you.
[usually at this point their clothes are already OFF but Eunhyuk mirrors Luke's move from earlier instead, sliding his hands underneath Luke's shirt and caressing the skin underneath, gently tracing muscle. he wants to feel him with his now normal, human hands --]
...How much I love you.
no subject
He's ready for Eunhyuk's kiss, and he meets him without hesitation, drawing his tongue across Eunhyuk's lips to coax them apart. The warmth of him is such a novelty, still. Maybe it was crazy, the way Luke hadn't really minded the lack of it, before--but if he couldn't get enough then, he's downright insatiable now, more than a little obsessed with the proof of Eunhyuk's restored humanity.
Even if his hands are warm, his touch still makes Luke shiver. And for a moment, it's tempting to let his thoughts disperse with each stroke of Eunhyuk's fingertips. It's not like he'd made concrete plans beyond giving Eunhyuk the album, after all? Nothing would be ruined if he decided to lay back and let Eunhyuk do as he pleases.
But... no. Not this time. His grin loses its sharp edges as overwhelming affection overtakes him, and he sits up, wrapping his arms around Eunhyuk to pull him closer. He nudges Eunhyuk's knees a little farther apart as if to settle him on his lap instead.]
You show me that every day. [He sees it in Eunhyuk's sleeping face beside him every morning, in the fridge full of ingredients Luke didn't buy and the clothes that have mixed with his own. Eunhyuk has settled so beautifully into his home, as if his presence perfectly filled in holes that Luke hadn't even known were there.
He shows it like this, too, and it's not like Luke is complaining, but--] This time, it's my turn.
no subject
...Luke holds him so securely in his arms and kisses him just as sweetly, and Eunhyuk clutches at him in return, feeling for once -- out of his depth, but... not in a bad way. just in a way that he's starting to realize -- that Luke does love him, and isn't afraid to show that in a clear, uncomplicated way, and that he can tell that Eunhyuk loves him too, even without words.
it's not that Eunhyuk is bad with words -- or maybe he is, so often does he cut to the chase, blunt and clipped and cold. it made him an effective leader, but a less than effective lover. words are just words when he says them, but they sound like poetry from Luke, who somehow always knows exactly what to say to tug on Eunhyuk's heartstrings, who manages to go above and beyond for him every time with his words and actions and tongue and hands --
their bodies are closer together now, chest to chest, and Eunhyuk's heart thrums beneath his skin in anticipation. ...want is still new for him, and greed even more foreign. but maybe he can learn, maybe he can take his cues from Luke, ever doting.]
...Alright.
[he spreads his knees and presses his forehead against his, relaxing into his hold]
Show me.
no subject
Showing his love is another matter entirely. What Eunhyuk hears as poetry is, to Luke, nothing more than his honest thoughts and feelings--not the affection he'd locked away for Rosa, but wholly new creations, free to leave his lips as soon as they form in his heart. To him, they're a barely adequate response to all the comfort and joy Eunhyuk brings into his life. And perhaps it's a good thing that Luke is made of bottled up daydreams and heartfelt sentiments choked back from the tip of his tongue. It means those words come forth easily, now that he's met someone he doesn't have to hide from--and it means that he'll never stop attempting to adequately convey his love, a totally unreachable goal.
That's alright, though. It just means a lifetime of trying, and Luke only thinks in lifetimes anyway.
He rewards Eunhyuk's acquiescence with a deep kiss, and though it's tempting to keep him right where he is, Luke's feeling merciful today. He tightens his hold as he rolls them over, guiding Eunhyuk to lay right where he'd just been. It's not the aggressive judo flip he likes to do when he's riled up--instead, it's a gentle, controlled fall, as if Luke doesn't want to put any more space between them than he has to.
Only when he's settled comfortably on top of him does he pull back, his eyes bright and playful.]
I thought you'd argue more than that. [Since Eunhyuk likes to TEASE even more than he likes getting roughed up, which is really saying something]
no subject
he blinks back up at Luke, the look in his eyes hazy where Luke's is playful, and it takes a moment for him to think of something besides how much he wants to kiss Luke again,]
Mm. [well LISTEN ACTUALLY GIVE HIM ANOTHER MOMENT,
...]
You gave me a gift.
[he cups the side of Luke's face with his hand, touching the corner of his mouth with his thumb, gentle and loving. and if his other hand is slowly dragging Luke's shirt up well listen, their clothes have to come off at some point? why not now???]
So it's only fair that you get to go first.
[he'll take his turn after!]
no subject
He is, however, as competitive as he's always been, and he's stubborn when he wants to be. So Eunhyuk's words draw him out of his indulgence, and he "hmm"s as he dips his head to mouth his way up Eunhyuk's neck, sliding his hands under his shirt.]
You don't think I can tire you out? [Sounds like a CHALLENGE to him]
no subject
I'll never get tired of you.
[Eunhyuk replies, knowing that WASN'T WHAT LUKE WAS ASKING???? still, it's relevant, because he never will, just like how he'll never tire of touching Luke's bare skin -- the hand on his face moving down to his neck, shoulder, bicep -- the other very unashamedly feeling up his stupid fcking EIGHT PACK ABS? WHY DOES HE HAVE EIGHT? WHY NOT SIX -- not that Eunhyuk's complaining,]
You're beautiful.
[he says it like Luke is wondrous, the sincerity in his tone is what saves this line from sounding as cringey as it should (IT PROBABLY DOES SOUND A LITTLE CRINGE), but anyway he says 'beautiful' and he MEANS IT. maybe luke should wear horrible clothes every day actually so that it'll nerf him forever from anyone else figuring out that he's beautiful too.
eunhyuk fortunately doesn't say that because it's too insane]
no subject
He rocks his hips against Eunhyuk's as he pushes Eunhyuk's shirt up, slow and lazy, like they have all the time in the world. It's a far cry from the urgency he'd felt on the ship, the ever-present knowledge that they had to make the most of their time together, just in case it was all they'd get. Eunhyuk's hands leave trails of fire across his body, and Luke finds himself drawn to it like he's seeking a lit hearth on a winter night. He shifts to press into Eunhyuk's touch, as sensitive as ever but too hungry for contact to care.
When he's finally satisfied with his handiwork, he pulls back just enough to press a hot, open-mouthed kiss to the bruise he'd created, murmuring low enough that Eunhyuk might feel his words more than he'll hear them.]
You know that's not what I meant. [He splays his hand over Eunhyuk's chest, pressing down to feel his heartbeat.] I think I've let you get away with too much.
no subject
the air in the room feels cool once his shirt is off -- finally -- though Eunhyuk likes this too, the way Luke is taking his time with him. the air is cool but he feels hot all over, thanks to the heat of Luke's hand pressed against his chest, to his mouth pressing against the bruise on his neck. he swallows a laugh, the adam's apple in his throat bobbing up against Luke's lips,]
You could let me get away with more.
[he reaches for Luke's zipper, tugging it down. he's into taking it slow, being taken care of, but he's also into the motion of Luke's hips rocking against his, and wouldn't that feel better without their pants in the way?]
no subject
They're on the same page in some ways nonetheless, and he mouths his way across Eunhyuk's throat, leaving a trail of bites in his wake. He makes an effort not to be too rough, but he can't help how sharp his canines are and Eunhyuk has never given him reason to believe he doesn't like it, so he doesn't try that hard.
He catches Eunhyuk's hands before he can get too far, though, drawing them up and pinning them to the mattress on either side of Eunhyuk's head. He nips at the delicate skin beneath Eunhyuk's ear before he shifts up enough to steal another kiss, hot and demanding.]
Or I could keep you like this. [He feels more breathless than he sounds, when he pulls away to speak--but Luke is nothing if not an expert at keeping his composure when he wants to, and he taps into that skill as he looks into Eunhyuk's dark eyes, as if daring him to decide whether it's a bluff or not.]
no subject
Eunhyuk continues showing zero signs that he dislikes Luke's SHARP CANINES, in fact his breathing grows more ragged with every bite. the only sign of dissatisfaction is how he tugs his hands a little from under Luke's grip, not quite frustrated (YET), but also he wants to touch Luke too? the rest of the room is a blur thanks to his terrible vision, but Luke stands out in clear definition -- the look on his face too, confident and composed like he hadn't just kissed Eunhyuk hard enough to scatter all his thoughts,
it's an excellent attempt. if he didn't know Luke, intimately and emotionally and in all the ways that matter, then he'd believe his cool expression.]
You could. ...But I want to kiss you.
[Luke is still stronger than him, for all of Eunhyuk's efforts to build himself back up. a part of him likes that. but he doesn't need strength to tilt his face up and close his teeth around Luke's bottom lip, nipping hard]
Everywhere.
[and there are places he can't reach if he's pinned down like this?]
no subject
What he should really do is shift over and slide his leg between Eunhyuk's, press his thigh up just so and distract Eunhyuk that way. But he loves when Eunhyuk challenges him like this, no matter how much he acts like he doesn't. He loves the cut of Eunhyuk's teeth on his lip and the way he's holding onto his confidence--the low tone of Eunhyuk's voice makes his stomach curl in anticipation, and the sight of the red necklace he'd worked into Eunhyuk's skin makes him grind his hips forward again, though it's less intentional this time.
But he's on a mission tonight, so he tightens his grip on Eunhyuk's wrists, edging away from a light restraint to a firm, unrelenting hold.]
Another time. [His tone is still affectionate, but there's an edge to it now, a touch of demanding energy. He's usually a little less direct than Eunhyuk is, mostly because he doesn't really have to be given how ready Eunhyuk is to jump him all the time, but he wants to be clear, so--] I want to fuck you tonight.
no subject
There's nothing sweet about this though, but he flushes at the words all the same, the red dusting the tips of his ears, crawling down his neck, to his shoulders. Unfortunately, getting embarrassed only makes him more embarrassed, because he really shouldn't be -- after all the times he's made love to Luke in so many places. Technically, he's the more experienced one? And also, this isn't the first time Luke's topped???? But -- the last few times were sweet and soft, and usually initiated by Eunhyuk because he really likes jumping Luke for apparently every reason ever --
Which he really wants to do now, if only to distract Luke from looking at him -- from seeing him in a way no one else ever will, flushed and embarrassed and eager and hungry. anticipation burns in his veins, and greed makes him push his hips up, even as he takes a moment to steady his voice,]
You need to take your pants off first.
[he's still blushing like a BOTTOM though]
no subject
But for now, he's happy to lean down and kiss his way across Eunhyuk's cheek until he can claim his mouth again, unable to resist. He presses his thumbs a little harder into Eunhyuk's wrists, savoring the feeling of his pulse--before he loosens his grip and drags Eunhyuk's hands higher, up above his head. Once he's satisfied, he lets go, though he runs his hands down Eunhyuk's arms as he sits back again.]
You first. [Luke really wore his outside clothes on the bed tsk tsk] Keep your hands there, I'll get them.
[Eunhyuk had said he wanted to show Luke how much he loved him--but that's exactly what Luke intends to do. CAN EUNHYUK PILLOW PRINCESS that's the real question here]
no subject
Eunhyuk's hands open and close, then form fists as he tries to decide if he can stay still just like this for Luke, even if what he really wants to do is pull Luke down onto the bed with him and trap him in return. HIS '_' EXPRESSION JUST SHY OF TURNING INTO A POUTY :/ FACE INSTEAD,
but he can't deny the allure of Luke undressing him -- usually the process is fast and mindless for the both of them -- of having his attention solely on him the entire time. BUT ALSO. it's soooo hard. there's something about Luke's orders that make Eunhyuk want to challenge them!!!! anyway he stays relatively still, SURPRISINGLY, except for lifting his hips so Luke can get at his pants and underwear more easily, wow. so obedient.
except for the part where he presses his leg in between Luke's thighs, grinding with intent, eyes pinned on Luke's, the corner of his mouth quirking into a smile.]
You said hands.
[he never said anything about his legs wow]
no subject
Luke seems pleased that Eunhyuk listens long enough to let him strip the rest of his clothes off, and he kicks his own pants off in return, though he leaves his underwear on. Is this teasing... maybe!!! But more importantly, it also means it's a little easier for Luke to hold onto his control, even though it's very easy to see that he isn't unaffected. Truly, half the reason he lets Eunhyuk get away with being more of a top than him is because every time they switch, he understands the appeal of having someone you find devastatingly attractive, someone you love so deeply, looking up at you, eyes hazy with want and need. He can't really fault Eunhyuk for liking it so much... but Luke is a terrible combination of service-minded and prideful, so here they are.
He rewards Eunhyuk with a brief kiss as he leans over him, reaching over to the bedside table--something he'd bought so that Eunhyuk would have an easy place to set his glasses at night, but also a convenient place to store their lube considering they probably bang like every damn day. God. It's as he's pulling back, bottle in hand, that Eunhyuk's leg catches him just so, and although he'd expected disobedience because Eunhyuk is ALWAYS LIKE THIS, it catches him off-guard enough that he falters, his free hand automatically falling to the bed to keep him steady. His lips part on a moan, but he catches himself before any sound can escape, and he holds very still, simply hovering over Eunhyuk with his face just barely out of his line of sight.
When he does finally sit all the way back, his eyes are very dark, and his expression is unreadable. Truly it was merciful of him to take his pants off so that Eunhyuk doesn't have to guess whether or not he actually likes something, since his face sure isn't giving it away.]
I did, [Calmly, as he uncaps the bottle and moistens his hand, apparently he's being nice still? Sweet and loving Luke is still in the building?] but you knew what I meant. [Luke is NOT a scholar who will award points for being pedantic :\\\
But that's fine. If Eunhyuk can't stay still, then Luke will just remove all temptations? He climbs off of him...
Imagine if he just left. No, he just slides further down the bed, taking Eunhyuk in hand and stroking leisurely--did he warm up the lube, no, okay maybe he's being mean after all--as he nudges Eunhyuk's legs further apart to make room for him. He settles once he's able to comfortably rest his head on Eunhyuk's hip, which he latches onto, scraping his teeth against the jut of bone there--
But he doesn't say anything else, so maybe that's the extent of his scolding? Hmmm...]
no subject
Eunhyuk thinks he should get points, honestly. he was being good?? he's still being good now for not hooking his arms around Luke's waist and peeling off his underwear while he was caught off-guard, downright herculean in his attempts to keep still. It's his self-control that keeps him frozen, despite the tangled riot of his emotions and the way his breathing is quicker now. it's his self-control and not the way he's mesmerized by the shade of Luke's coral pink eyes, now a deep red, pinned by his stare. it's the shade of his gaze that clues him in, the calm rhythm of his voice, that as sweet and loving as Luke is, he can be all that and more? Eunhyuk watches him as carefully as he always does, which is pretty impressive for a guy who usually can't see without his glasses --
but Luke is close enough to see now, and Eunhyuk's gaze isn't so hazy that he can't track his movements, the liquid gleaming in Luke's hand. the anticipation feels like a thunderstorm, building and building -- and then he hisses out loud in both surprise and pleasure -- because he's been so hot this entire time that Luke's hand on him feels like an ICE CUBE, and wow -- for once he can feel it from the other side, and he'd think longer and harder about how sympathetic he is for Luke having to endure his own cold hands this entire time -- except Luke BITES him and he forgets to think at all --
a full-body shudder runs through him instead, at the flinch of pain, the flare of desire, starting where he can feel the press of Luke's teeth, and leaving him in an startled gasp. damn. maybe he can pillow princess after all.
it takes a moment to collect himself -- and honestly, he's not really that composed -- just enough to prop himself up with his elbows so he can look at Luke -- he moved his hands again but listen, surely Luke will give him this -- he just wants to see him now that he's done SCOLDING HIM... RIGHT]
no subject
And yeah, Eunhyuk can sit up to look at him? That's allowed, sure, totally.
...Is it a good idea, though?
Because when he does it, it's right as Luke lets him go and drops his hand even lower, easing his fingers into him. And Luke makes it his business to be good at a lot of things, but memorizing what his beloved likes is always going to be at the top of that list? So although they haven't been dating all that long, they've done this enough for Luke to feel confident in the pace he sets and the way he angles his wrist. As a kind(?) and merciful(???) lover, he even abandons the mark he was working into Eunhyuk's hip in order to lean back over, ready to take Eunhyuk into his mouth--but he pauses before he does, lifting his head to make sure Eunhyuk knows he's looking at his face, even if Eunhyuk can't see his expression clearly.]
I want to see you fall apart just like this, first.
[Eunhyuk: You'll be tired
Luke: And I took that personally
HOPEFULLY EUNHYUK IS READY FOR A LONG NIGHT]
no subject
Luke.
[strands of his hair has fallen into his eyes, making him look as disheveled as he feels, so he can't really see, but he can feel every exhale of every word Luke murmurs against his cock -- which is insane in a bad way that's not actually bad but good? more than good -- and oh god he's already so overstimulated and Luke isn't even BLOWING HIM YET, because normally, he'd come apart from luke's fingers or his mouth, one OR the other, not both at the same time? Eunhyuk bites down on his lip to stifle another groan, and then -- very shakily,]
That's cheating.
[THAT'S CHEATING.... THAT'S BREAKING THE ARBITRARY RULE HE SET UP RIGHT NOW,]
no subject
Eunhyuk might not be able to see him well, but the same is not true at all for Luke, who drinks in the sight of him--and actually, he kind of loves knowing he can stare as shamelessly as he wants, that he can drink in the sight of Eunhyuk's composure cracking into pieces while Eunhyuk has to use his imagination--UNFORTUNATELY FOR EUNHYUK THE DOM S STREAK IS REAL!!!
He dips his head down to kiss Eunhyuk's stomach, mostly to let Eunhyuk feel his smile.]
It's not. [IGNORES HIS RULES and crooks his fingers, meanly] I'm showing you how much I love you.
[Through torture, yeah, but Eunhyuk likes it so too bad]
