[Thinks about how roses in Mondstadt aren't romantic at all... imagine if Luke was like "haha what"
No he doesn't do that. In fact, he's kind of helpless to do anything but step close and kiss him again, longer this time... IT'S STILL CHASTE, THEY'RE FINE!!! But there's really no other way for him to convey how full his heart feels, no succinct words to explain the warmth that floods his chest every time Eunhyuk says or does such sweet things. Local man too used to thinking about how to perform romantic gestures, doesn't know to handle being wooed in return,,,
When he pulls back, he puffs out his cheeks in an exaggerated pout.]
You're doing it again. [(Luke voice from months ago) Are you getting paid to say these things]
[STOP luke proves that he really is teucer from another world,
Eunhyuk continues to think Luke is so adorable and endearing and cute -- the way he kisses him in reply, and then looks at him with a pout. He kisses that puffed up cheek too, mwah.]
Doing what?
[hehe
he tugs on Luke's hand in his as he starts to walk, because while he's seriously considering just making out with Luke as their DATE, he did say he wanted to take him somewhere...]
He ignores the question, though he laces their fingers together as they walk.]
We're walking to the park? [It's a nice day out so that's fine with him, though he's a little surprised because he knows how Eunhyuk feels about the bike]
but he is happy to hold hands with Luke as they head over to the park. It's such a simple thing -- and it's not the first time he's just walked with Luke somewhere, but he still can't help marveling over it a little,]
I like taking my time if it's with you. [simply,] And this way, we can talk to each other too.
[it will be the day when i proofread... which will never happen....
Eunhyuk looks sidelong at Luke, which is another advantage walking has over riding behind Luke on his bike. this way he can see Luke try to figure out that people out there want to flirt with him,]
Eunhyuk looks sidelong at Luke, considers making a comment that will earn him a jab to the ribs, something like 'i meant everyone who likes u, u doofus', but it's not like he doesn't understand them... he feels kinship with lukepearceissexy69... they're not competitors but COMRADES!!!!!]
I think it's this way.
[anyway he tugs Luke after him as they finally arrive at the fabled mythical park. usually, Eunhyuk would stand in one spot and people watch like a freak, which is what happens when you're from a monster apocalypse where people are monsters, but this time he has a Purpose, moving towards a nearby gazebo where there's already a crowd of people.
luke, being a antique detective guy, will definitely notice that a.) this crowd is entirely made up of couples b.) the gazebo is decorated and c.) the musicians tuning their instruments off to the side and d.) the perky announcer guy thanking everyone for coming to 'Classy Cadence's Annual Dance Night']
[Comes back here thinking again about how Luke just has a fucking government tracker in his BODY
But luckily that's IRRELEVANT TO EVERYTHING and not on Luke's mind right now. Instead, he's just happy to follow Eunhyuk--and happier still to see him taking the lead so comfortably. It fills him with so many warm mushy feelings every time Eunhyuk seems to be growing more and more comfortable in Stellis, and it would be so easy to get lost in domestic daydreams if not for Luke's innate curiosity drawing his attention outward. He keeps his fingers laced through Eunhyuk's as he looks around, eyes bright with interest.]
What's this about?
[He can hear the announcer, of course, but he wants to hear from Eunhyuk, especially since, despite guessing easily that they were going to the park, he definitely hadn't expected something like this. He keeps a lot of tabs on romantic stuff to do because he's a goober like that but he doesn't know every single thing!!]
[eunhyuk when he finds out that luke has a government tracker in his body: '_____'
but ig for NOW he has NO IDEA even though he really should suspect thanks to his insane paranoia and deep mistrust for all governments, but that's old Eunhyuk... the Eunhyuk he's trying to leave behind little by little, now that the world isn't constantly making demands of him. progress is slow, especially compared to how quickly Eunhyuk had to change, but isn't that what healing is? it takes a flash of a second to be injured, maybe even irreparably, and then weeks, months, maybe years to recover, depending on the balm.
Eunhyuk runs his thumb over the back of Luke's hand, warm and firm in his own, and thinks about balms and restoratives and how Luke outstrips them all with the curl of his smile and the softness in his gaze, with every moment spent in his company. The impossibility of Eunhyuk's situation feels less ridiculous day after day, that maybe there will come a time when Eunhyuk no longer marvels over it. For now, Eunhyuk watches Luke look around with interest, a burst of fondness settling in his chest,]
I saw a flyer at the library about a local dance club. They mostly run classes, but they hold social events too, like this one. I thought it'd be fun.
[there's a half-beat, then Eunhyuk turns so he's facing Luke, bringing up his hand so he can press it to his lips. ]

no subject
He grins at that answer, pleased, and squeezes Eunhyuk's hand.]
That's true, the bike's pretty loud. [Not really the best for chatting... which, speaking of--] Was it busy today?
no subject
It wasn't too bad. Eunyoo came over and helped.
[helped by glaring at customers...]
A few customers said they'd come back when you're in. [SPEAKING OF!!!] ...Some of them were really disappointed you weren't there.
[(amazon review) the owner made me gay]

He frowns a little, thinking.]
Really? I don't have any orders due today, though.

They wanted to see you.
[sets a little mental timer in the meantime,]
no subject
ALSO HELP NOT THIS. Luke just scratches the back of his neck with his free hand like "huh well okay"]
I guess I'll send out order updates tomorrow. There's a dealer I need to reach out to anyway, so I had time set aside for emails already.
no subject
HELP NOT THIS. LUKE. Eunhyuk's response to that very business-like normal response is just him trying not to SMILE]
Now I feel bad.
[and sympathetic........ he can relate to this customer....]
no subject
Luke is just like ?]
What for?
no subject
They wanted to see you because they like you.
[he says it like it's the most obvious thing in the world?]
no subject
:pikasquint:]
Who does?
[forces you to make up a customer]
no subject
Rabi. Manwol. Dimitri. Okuni. Baren. Nicola. Miss Gooferina.
[HE JUST KEEPS LISTING NAMES]
Oh, and Jeryy.
I CAN'T STAND YOU
I don't have any clients named Gooferina.
i tried to include ur charas but u only play MARRIED people
That's the name they left online. Remember that one review?
[the review]
it's my safeguard against THREADS LIKE THIS
That was obviously spam!
TCH....
I don't know. It felt pretty relatable.
[makes sense that other people out there are horny as fck for luke. eunhyuk can't be the ONLY one]
no subject
[He will not (probably)]
no subject
I need it to keep track of the competition.
[like other antique stores
and every other person who likes luke]

ALSO HE'S GONNA BEAT YOU UP EUNHYUK]
We don't have any competition! There aren't any another antique store detective agencies around!
