I Love You (Eunhae One-Shot)

"Hyukkie!! Come look at this!" Donghae tugged at Eunhyuk's arm and pointed furiously in all sorts of directions. Eunhyuk shook his head and rolled his eyes but followed the excited nemo nonetheless. 'Donghae looks so cute, it's hard to reject him', he thought as a smile graced his lips. Donghae managed to pull them from the entrance of a shopping complex to the end of the street in just 2 minutes, where they stopped in front of a pet store. Eunhyuk gave Donghae a look, despite the smile that remained on his face.

"Donghae, are you serious? You know Lee Teuk-"

"NOOO!!! Hyuk, I promise that I won't let him find out! I swear, it'll be as if it doesn't even exist," Donghae begged, pouting slightly. "Besides, you promised!" Eunhyuk sighed as he knew this to be true. He had made a stupid promise to Donghae that on his next birthday, he would buy a puppy for him. Donghae was so excited at the time, he latched himself onto Eunhyuk for the entire week, not letting him go for anything - which of course leaded to the invasion of his privacy on sleep and other personal activities.

Before Eunhyuk could even begin listing out the endless possibilities of them getting caught, Donghae had already ran into the shop, ogling at every puppy he thought was adorable or simply irresistible. Eunhyuk followed behind him, chuckling whenever Donghae stopped at the sight of a puppy for a particularly long time, imitating the voices they were making. He secretly wondered who the adorable one here was: Donghae or the puppies.

"Hyukkie, look at this!" Eunhyuk snapped out of his little Donghae-wonderland-dream and turned his head at the familiar voice, only to burst out laughing at the sight presented before him. Donghae had his whole face practically mushed up against one of the small viewing windows at the corner of the store, where it was quiet compared to all the other areas which were filled with endless puppies yapping and such. When Eunhyuk managed to sober up enough to reach the younger's side, he noticed the small frail ball of fur resting peacefully in the display. Eunhyuk peeked at Donghae who was so transfixed by the puppy that his mouth was hanging wide open and he didn't even notice it. His eyes were sparkling and Eunhyuk knew that they definitely weren't going to leave the shop without bringing this particular one back with them.

Donghae on the other hand was too preoccupied with the puppy to say or feel anything else. He felt a certain affinity to it the moment his eyes landed on the soft curls of the puppy's fragile body. It looked barely a year old and was so tiny it was just precious. Donghae's eyes sparkled even more with each shallow intake and his breath hitched when the little figure fluttered its eyes opened and stared at Donghae. Electricity could be felt as the two locked gazes, the pup breaking the contact to yawn cutely before snuggling back into its blanket, trying to fall back asleep. Donghae squealed. Like really, really, squealed. This was the one. It just had to be. It was just so damn perfect. Like Eunhyuk.

"Hyuk, this is the one," Donghae cooed as he continued to stare at the seemingly perfect ball of curly fluff only inches away from his touch. "He's so perfect, just like you."

Eunhyuk frowned as pink dusted his cheeks. He pretended not to have heard Donghae and just looked around the shop, his hands already unconsciously reaching for Donghae's as they entwined together naturally, in perfect synchronicity. Donghae squeezed Eunhyuk's hand to grab his attention and pointed at the sweet fur ball again.

"Hyuk, I swear, if you buy this for me, I will take care of it as if it were my own baby and I'll name it after you." Eunhyuk hit Donghae's head playfully but smiled nonetheless. Who the hell would name a dog after an anchovy like him?

"No," Eunhyuk shook his head, earning a pout from Donghae. "Let's call it Nemo. Like how your fans call you." Because it's just as cute as you, Eunhyuk thought but he didn't say that out loud. Donghae wrinkled his nose and shook his head furiously.
