“it was and the others didn’t shut up about those pokemon cards all day,”

you chuckled softly as yoh turned in his arms, immediately noticing the way his eyes were half lidded and his hair was a complete mess from taking his beanie on and off all day,

“awe baby,” you smiled softly, brushing some hair away from his forehead, “you’re exhausted,”

“mhm,” he hummed, leaning into your touch,

“did you guys at least eat properly?”

“..define eating,”

you stared at him,

and he stared back,

“ohyul,”

“there was coffee,”

“coffee is not lunch,”

“it was nice coffee tho,”

you pinched his cheek,

“ow,”

“go shower,” you said pointing toward the hallway, “i’m finishing dinner so it’ll be ready when you’re done,”

“don’t wanna,”

“what do you mean don’t wanna,”

“too tired,”

before you could respond he let go of you, dramatically shuffling toward the living room..

..and face planted directly onto the couch, not even laying down normally,

just..

thunk

face first, his arms dangled off the cushions, his legs were still touching the floor

you blinked, suppressing a smile,

“are you good,”

a muffled groan came from the couch,

“never been better,”

you couldn’t stop yourself from laughing,

“ohyul,”

“mhm,”

“you smell like hairspray and stage lights,”

“that’s the smell of hard work,”

“that’s the smell of sweat,”

you walked over and poked his side,

nothing

another poke, but still nothing of course

“i know you’re awake,”

he sighed softly,

“my body has clocked out,”

“well unfortunately your body still has to shower,”

“what if..” he paused dramatically. “..i simply don’t,”

“absolutely not,”

“why,”

“because you’ll feel so much better afterwards,”

“i’ll feel better horizontally,”

“ohyul,”

“lemme become one with the couch,”

“you cannot merge with furniture,”

“watch me,”

you grabbed one of his hands and tugged but he immediately went limp,

“did you just deadweight me,” you laughed,

“yes,”

“you’re so annoying,”

“thank you,”

you laughed under your breath before crouching beside him,

“come on,” you said gently rubbing circles over his back, “a warm shower will be good and there’s food afterwards,”

he finally turned his head enough to look at you and his pout was actually ridiculous yet cute,

“come with me,”

you blinked, “what,”

“come shower with me,”

“ohyul,” you giggled

“please,”

“i have to finish dinner,”

“food can wait,”

“you literally haven’t eaten all day,”

“i’ll survive another 10 minutes without food,”

you snorted, “go shower first and i’ll have everything ready,”

“but i wanna spend time with you,”

“we’ll spend time together all night..” you poked his cheek, “..after you shower,”

he reached out and lazily grabbed the sleeve of your hoodie,

“i missed you,”

your heart immediately betrayed you because how were you supposed to argue with that..

“you’ve only been gone for 12 hours,”

“try being away from you for 12 hours once and you’ll understand my pain,”

you couldn’t help but laugh again, “you’re such a drama queen,”

“king,” he corrected you, a smug little smile on his face as he wiggled his eyebrows funnily,

“whatever,” you laughed, “you’re a drama king then,”

“well this king requires the presence of his queen in the royal shower room,”

you sighed like this was the biggest inconvenience of your life but both of you know it’s absolutely not that serious,

“..fine,”

his head immediately lifted, “really?”

“yes,”

he was standing before you’d even finished speaking,

“LET’S GO MY LADY,”

you burst into laughter, “oh now you have energy,”

“miracles happen,”

“5 seconds ago you were pretending to be a couch,”

“love revived me,”

“right,” you giggled,

the shower ended up taking longer than expected because he insisted on leaning against you like you were some kind of human support beam,

which you basically were at this point

“you’re gonna fall asleep standing up,” you laughed,

“probably,”

you worked shampoo into his hair while he stood there with his eyes closed, looking dangerously close to passing out,

“this is nice,” he mumbled

“mhm,”

“can you always wash my hair from now on?”

you only chuckle softly as you gently massaged his scalp and he let out the happiest little sigh

“don’t make that face,”

“what face,”

“the one that’s making me feel bad for teasing you,”

“i’m just existing,” he argued but his smile gave him away,

“you’re so pretty,” he murmured,

you splashed a tiny bit of water onto his face, “flattery won’t save you,”

“it almost did tho,”

“almost,”

after the shower, he disappeared into the bedroom before returning in his silly pajamas with damp hair sticking up in every possible direction

you smiled, “cute,”

“don’t bully me,”

“i complimented you,”

“it felt suspicious,”

before you could answer, he took both your hands,

“come here,”

“wha-“

he lifted you onto the bathroom counter like you weighed absolutely nothing,

“ohyul,” you laughed,

he stepped between your legs, resting his hands on either side of you,

“skincare,”

you blinked, “..that’s why i’m up here?”

“yes,”

“you couldn’t have just handed me the moisturizer,”

“no,”

“why not,”

“because it’s about the experience,”

“the experience?” you giggle,

“correct,”

he handed you the products one by one with the most serious expression imaginable,

“cleanser,”

“yes sir,”

“toner,”

“thank you, skincare assistant,”

“serum,”

“you’re a real professional,” you laughed

“i missed you,” he sighed as your fingers gently touched his face,

your smile softened, “i noticed,”

you spread moisturizer across his cheeks while he looked at you with sleepy eyes,

“look up a little,”

he obeyed immediately,

“close your eyes,”

which he did of course,

“you’re very bossy,”

“you’re listening tho,”

“because you’re cute,”

you lightly tapped the end of his nose, “all done,”

he opened one eye,

“kiss for payment,”

“payment?”

“yes nothing is for free in this world,”

you laughed, “i’m the one who did the work tho,”

“who cares, we’re a team,”

you laughed, cupping his face before leaning forward and pressing a quick kiss against his lips,

it was soft and warm

and when you pulled back he didn’t let you get very far,

instead he rested his forehead against yours with the sleepiest smile you’d ever seen,

“thank you,”

“for what,”

“for taking care of me,”

you brushed your thumb across his cheek and he hummed happily before wrapping his arms around your waist again,

“can we go to bed now,”

“you still need to eat,”

“i’m not hungry,”

“you didn’t eat all day!”

“i don’t wanna eat,” he mumbled as he dropped his head on your shoulder,

“sleepy?”

“i’ve been sleepy since i got home,”

“fair point,”

“you should eat first, then we’ll go to bed,”

“can you carry me?”

you stared at him,

“ohyul,” you laughed,

his head came back up with the biggest sigh ever,

“worth a shot,”

you chuckled as he pressed another quick kiss on your lips,

“okay,” he sighed again,

“okay what,”

“i’ll eat,”

you smiled, “good,”

“but if i fall asleep in my rice, you’ll have to carry me to bed,”

“let’s not fall asleep in rice,” you laughed,

“you know,” he mumbled,

“what,”

“coming home is my fav part of the day,”

you smiled,

“even after all those schedules?”

“especially after all those schedules..”

he gently bumped his forehead against yours,

smiling sleepily,

“..because i know you’re here,”
