[Any uncertainty he has melts away when Eunyu answers the door and follows it up by leaning up to kiss him. His cheeks pinken slightly. She seems pleased which in turn pleases him.

It's as natural as breathing to let her take his hand as they start to walk.]


Yeah, I know where it is. [And then after a beat:] Unless it's moved.

[He hopes it hasn't moved. It would suck if their date ends up being hunting for a bowling alley rather than actually bowling. But, fortunately, as far as he can tell, the bowling alley tends to be a fairly consistent location. He's not that worried about it.

He glances at her and brushes his thumber over her knuckles.]


You look nice.

[He huffs and smiles a little.]

You think so?

[The gamer in him knows this should be a cue to get competitive and talk shit, but he doesn't really have any desire to do that with Eunyu, he's too busy being charmed by her and happy that she's here, holding his hand. He also has no real confidence in his bowling ability so it would all be bullshit anyway.]

What do you want if you win?

[personal profile] leavening 2024-12-07 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, she's got him there.]

Yeah, I would.

[Honestly she doesn't have to win for him to give her anything. If she asks him for something he'll try to give it to her.

He blinks at her question. He's not surprised she asked it, really, but it's kind of a hard question to answer. In part because he's not always good at acknowledging what he wants or needs, but also because in this moment he sort of feels like he already has what he wants. Eunyu here and safe, holding his hand.

He glances down at their linked hands and then back to Eunyu.]


What if this is what I want? Maybe I've already won.

[There are other desires he could give voice to, of course, but he's not sure the hallway is the best place to say them.]

[If it were someone else, the eye roll might have Hyunsu worried that he said something wrong. But it's Eunyu, and he can tell she's not really upset. If anything, judging by her blush, she's the opposite.

He smiles a little as they approach the staircase.]


Okay. That's fair.

[Secretly now, he's kind of hoping she really does kick his ass because he's curious about what she might pick.]

It's on the third floor. [He says thoughtfully as they start up the stairs.] How's your ankle these days?

[He remembers it was a problem for her when they first met, and while that was over a year ago now, some injuries tend to linger. And it's not like she's had the privilege of being able to go easy on it.]

[He makes a small sound of acknowledgement and tucks the knowledge away. She's okay but still hurts sometimes. Not that there's much he can do to help her from a medical standpoint, but he can at least carry her if she needs it.

She doesn't seem to need it now though, she ascends the stairs with little problem that Hyunsu can see and when she reaches the top it doesn't take her long to figure out where they're headed.]


Yeah, that's it. Kind of weird they have space for a bowling alley but no elevators.

[Some sort of crazy rich people logic, he supposes.]

[Hyunsu follows Eunyu to their lane, glances down at his outfit at her suggestion. He blushes faintly at the compliment, but returns his gaze to her with a hint of a smile pulling at the corner of his lips.]

That logic could be applied to you, too, though.

[He's not the only one who looks good here, ok. He would say she is the hotter one between them, but then again he is extremely biased.]

[At her scoff, his smile gets bigger albeit maybe a little more shy.

He waits for her to take her turn and when she's done and makes her assessment he counters it.]


You just need to warm up a little.

[Neither of them have done anything like this in a long time. They need to ease into it. Or something.

He pauses at the machine as she leans against it, testing the weight of the balls. The lighter ones feel all wrong to him with his enhanced strength, so he moves on to the heavier ones. He stops to consider her question, though.]


Does it? [Is it good that she feels that way? She doesn't seem mad about it.] I'm getting there. I think...we're learning to accept each other. [Something like that. He settles on choosing the heaviest ball they offer and picks it up.] You're helping. And the people here who don't hate monsters on sight.

[People here seem more accepting that he's kind of a freak, which is nice. He knows that people back home have reasons for their fear, but it was still tiring to deal with.

He heads over to the lane to take his turn. When he releases the ball it's with more of his strength than he intended and the ball ends up skirting the edge of the lane at high speed and slamming into two of the pins in the far corner with an unusually loud crack.

Hyunsu looks a little perplexed.]


Did I break something?

[For a moment Hyunsu is a little surprised by Eunyu's protective body language, but then, as she yells at the bowling alley attendent, he relaxes. He shouldn't be surprised, really. This is how she was Green Home, too. Always the first to stand up for him and just in general not willing to put up with anyone's shit. She's just going back to her roots, in a way.

He smiles faintly, a blush staining his cheeks as she grabs his sleeve.]


Yeah, let's go. [He catches her hand in his.] What flavors do you like?

[Hyunsu hums in acknowledgment. Red is good. He has to think for a moment when she turns the question back on him. Like Eunyu, it’s been a long time since he even thought about having something like a slushie. Even after being here for a few months he’s slow to take advantage of all the amenities the house offers.]

Maybe watermelon. [He concludes finally, as they reach the slushie stand.] Do you want anything to eat with it?

[He's not really surprised that she decides to go ahead and order for him. She's the type to take the lead when she can. It's one of the things he likes about her.

He decides to go ahead and order something, as she steps aside to wait for their slushies. He is a 20 year old with a faster than normal metabolism, he is usually hungry, honestly. He orders nachos, though, because he remembers Eunyu mentioning them. Just because she's not hungry right this second doesn't mean she won't be hungry a little later. This way she won't be disappointed if she decides she wants some.

He finishes ordering and turns back to her just as she's sipping his slushie. He feels a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.]


Yeah? What about yours? [He takes his own when she hands it to him, but he also leans in to take a sip of hers.]

[personal profile] leavening 2024-12-15 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hyunsu does not even notice what is happening with the bowling lane, actually, because he is focused on Eunyu. Of course she would be cold drinking a slushie while wearing a sleeveless shirt in December. How silly of him not to think of that.

She's not complaining, though, because she's accustomed to enduring at this point. Instead she's pointing him towards the arcade, which is a little unexpected, but not something he objects to.]


Okay, but, wait. [He pauses to put his nachos and slushie down on the nearest table and then shrugs out of his jacket before moving to settle it around her shoulders.] Here.

[He blinks, a little surprised at her assessment because he wasn't really trying to be smooth. He was trying to be thoughtful, though, so he accepts the praise with a little smile.

And then...it's all kind of a blur. Eunyu in his jacket, her lips stained cherry red by her slushie, her hands against his cheek and his neck. He has half a mind to take her hand and press his lips to her fingers, but before he can do that she's leading him to the arcade and then to the photobooth.

And then she's in his lap and--did the camera go off? he's not really paying attention to anything but Eunyu--then she's kissing him and he's kissing her back because of course he is. Why wouldn't he? He pretty much always wants to kiss her. He moans softly into her mouth as he slides his tongue against hers and he can't help but want to touch her. He lifts a hand to stroke her hair.

When they inevitably have to come up for air, he's not interested in leaving, even though the machine has probably spit out their photos by now. He just nuzzles her jaw, holding her gently in his lap.]


Eunyu?

[okay, well, actually, Hyunsu is pretty sure Eunyu pulling up his shirt and shoving it into his mouth just so she can touch him is one of the hottest things to ever happen to him. He huffs a stuttering breath around the hem of his shirt as he holds it between his teeth.

Unfortunately, it becomes obvious fairly quickly that having the hem of his shirt in his mouth makes it difficult to answer her questions or reassure her. It might also make any further kisses difficult. So, he nods once firmly and then takes the hem of his shirt in his hand and holds it up for her that way. For now. He has half a mind to just take it off, but first:]


It's okay. [He's been in this house long enough that he's not terribly worried about being caught, but he knows Eunyu was worried about that sort of thing before. There's a sort of wild desperation in her eyes and in the way she moves in his lap that he recognizes from before, in the chapel.] What do you want me to do?
