People seem to only see Luke's character as "Eugene's friend" or "Eugene's boyfriend" and in their defense, Luke doesn't really have much in the second game. But I wish people could focus on their friendshil before a relationship, or the interactions they have whether it's platonic or not. I would prefer that over erasing their entire arcs and personalities and ignoring the entire purpose of their relationship in the first place to just make them date. Eugene has a bit more focus on him and they are their own character, but with Luke, people seem to just erase his character and personality for the sake of being Eugene's partner. Don't get me wrong, I love them together, but at some point people stop seeing it as Luke x Eugene and more of Eugene (and Luke) if that makes any sense.

I can't find much content of the two just having a friendship or their interactions /before/ developing a crush. There's a bunch of things they can do without dating, and I ship them. They're kinda the only romantic relationship in the games that make sense, but people need to remember that Luke is someone seperate from Eugene and vise versa. I've also seen people ignoring and erasing Eugene's entire character for the sake of just being Luke's partner, and It irks me a little bit.

I know they're semi-canon, and I love them so much!! So so much. But PLEASE I swear to God, stop erasing and stereotyping them for a relationship that wasn't needed.

I would love if they were dating, but I also want people to see why they could be a couple other than unnecessary shipping, like how they'd interact WHILE developing a crush. Like inside jokes, interests, all that jazz y'know?

Thank you to @a-fan-of-anything for the request! Hope you like it! If anyone has anymore requests, feel free to ask!

Eugene is the one who asked Luke out. It's wasn't as easy as it sounds though. Lots of back and forth talking to himself. Brainstorming ways to ask him out. LOTS OF DOUBTING.

After talking to the crew of the underworld office, he felt a lot better though. They were super supportive and helped him calm his nerves.

But Eugene still stuttered a bit when he asked Luke out.

Luke.exe has stopped responding.

Eugene took that as a no and started to panic saying it's okay if Luke doesn't feel the same way.

That was enough to snap the Luke out of his trance and say yes.

This causes Eugene to mentally pat himself on the back.

The underworld office cast watch from a distance and are proud of him. Especially Boss hsnshsnh

Eugene has seen Luke melt at the sight of cats (stray or not) and decided to have their first date in a cat cafe (it's a surprise for Luke). They hold hands all the way. Eugene says it is because he needs to lead Luke to the location (it's not).

Luke's jaw drops a bit and he looks at Eugene with an awestruck look. As soon as he enters the cafe, he becomes an excited ball of energy.

Luke resists the urge to hug the life out of Eugene.

Eugene falls even harder for Luke when he sees the latter hold and play with the cats in such a gentle manner.

"You know Eugene? You kinda remind me of a cat sometimes."

That earns Luke a playful whack on the shoulder.

A few jokes here and there with some stories are exchanged between the two.

They don't even realize the time fly.

They practically stay until the cafe closes.

Luke vows to take Eugene out for a date next time.

He kisses Eugene on the cheek as a thank you.

Eugene practically melts. He ain't used to physical affection (His mom is dead and his father neglected him. Even though the ghosts treat Eugene like their own, he is still touch starved. )
