Work Text:
It had started with an invitation from Vox to the other members of Luxiem, asking if they would like to have a small gathering just to have fun on a day they all happened to have free. The members found themselves agreeing, as Shu had volunteered to teleport everyone to Vox's place with his sorcery.
After arriving, it had been pretty standard at first, the usual shenanigans occurring and chaos immediately reigning with the help of the combination of the 5 members being together all at once. However, to them, this chaos wasn't messy but instead comforting, helping them in finding solace and solidarity with each other.
Playing video games, Mysta failing to cook, Vox turning on the grill instead, Ike chastising Mysta loudly for almost burning down the kitchen, and Shu and Luca laughing as they watched on the sidelines while playing Super Bunny Man.
It had gotten even wilder after they finished dinner, with Vox bringing out the alcohol and snacks for chatting and karaoke.
Luca had always known that Shu was a bit weaker with alcohol, only drinking when encouraged to by others, but knowing the members of Luxiem, especially Mysta, he was encouraged quite a lot. The sorcerer was halfway through his second bottle of soju, slowly turning a cute flushed pink and red colour and giggling as the other members messed about and sang songs.
Luca smiled as he saw everyone enjoying themselves, sipping on his own drink and adding a POG! while cheering for the others singing every once in a while.
-------------------------------
Luca Kaneshiro stared at the man currently dozing off on the sofa opposite of himself.
If Shu Yamino could be described with only one word, he thought, it would definitely be beautiful.
The sorcerer was clearly sleepy, leaning his body on the couch and head nodding down towards his chest every once in a while as his amethyst coloured eyes fought the need to close. The result was a gaze through half-lidded eyes, conveying a sultry feel to those around him as he looked around the room seemingly in a haze. Luca watched as the sorcerer locked eyes with him, eyes widening a little as if he had found his target.
The sorcerer ignored the other singing drunkards in the background, crawling towards Luca slowly and cautiously like a cat. Luca gulped, not knowing what Shu was thinking nor what to do in this situation, what was he trying to do?
He did nothing as Shu came closer at a leisurely pace, basically climbing onto Luca's lap and securing himself a comfortable spot in the middle with his front facing Luca, a small but audible intake of air could be heard coming from the mafia boss. He awkwardly placed his hands palms down on the sofa, not knowing what to do with them.
"S-Shu? Are you okay?" he asked the other.
"Mmm..." no firm answer could be heard from the sorcerer, his lips forming into a small cute pout that could often be seen when he felt unsatisfied with something. Shu's flushed face felt somewhat...erotic, eyes narrowing slightly as he stared into Luca's own purple irises. Silence filled the space between the two, and it felt like they were in their own little world, the racket of the other three behind them fading into nothing.
Just at the moment when Luca felt like he could get lost forever in Shu's eyes and not regret it, a small awkward cough from behind them broke the trance.
"Uh, we don't mean to interrupt you guys but...what exactly is going on here?" Mysta could be seen putting down the mic, the screen showing the end of the song they had been singing. Vox and Ike were behind him having a mom and dad moment, openly taking pictures on their phones and squealing about how cute it was.
The attention apparently ruffled Shu's feathers, with him letting out a small "Hmph!" and proceeding to wrap his arms around Luca's neck, snuggling his face into it. The oversized sweater he was wearing gave him sweater paws, tightly clinging to the mafia boss' suit jacket.
"So it appears that alcohol really does make one more honest, it seems." Vox teasingly voiced, Luca turning red at the suggestion.
Ike smiled fondly at the pair on the couch, "Why don't you take Shu to one of the guest rooms? Vox, you okay with that?"
"Yes, of course. Shu looks like he could take a nice nap right about now. Mysta really got him to drink quite a lot, I suppose?"
"Hey!" Mysta rebutted, "It wasn't that much! I didn't think his tolerance was that low? I mean, yeah, he said that he-"
A loud whine from Shu interrupted him, flustering Luca by further nuzzling into the neck.
Vox chuckled, "Why don't you head upstairs? The guest room is the furthest down the hallway."
Luca nodded, quickly manoeuvring Shu into a piggy back in order to carry him more easily.
Making his way up the stairs and down the hallway, Shu seemed to vaguely wake up as Luca gently tucked him into the bed, pulling the covers over him as well. Blinking at his surroundings, he gazed up at Luca again, the other offering him a gentle smile and headpat as he made sure the covers were secure.
Suddenly, Shu extended both of his arms toward him, seemingly waiting for Luca to do something.
Was he...asking for a hug? He opened his mouth to ask, but Shu spoke before him.
"A giant Augustus plushie! Aww, hehe, c-can I cuddle you?" he spoke with a childish excitement in his tone, giggling softly as he wriggled around in the bed. His drunk brain had clearly caused him to somehow view Luca as a giant Augustus plushie, causing a bit of hesitation from the mafia boss.
The silence seemed to suggest to Shu that the plushie was refusing.
"Y-You don't wanna cuddle? Oh...that's fine then..." the sorcerer then mumbled, the previous cute pout making its way back onto his face and moving to hide under the covers. Hearing his voice starting to tremble, Luca rushed to answer.
"No! U-uh, of course I want to cuddle! Please don't cry! Shu!" he hurriedly spoke to the lump underneath the blankets, not really knowing what the right thing to do was in this situation.
The covers then proceeded to fly up with tremendous speed, and Luca was pulled under with shocking strength (which shouldn't really have been shocking considering his biceps) and pressed flushed against another warm body. He couldn't help but gasp at the feeling of Shu's face nuzzling into his chest, his arms circling around his waist at the same time. At some point in time his suit jacket had come off, perhaps due to Shu subconsciously using his sorcery.
The shorter of the two had a happy smile on his face, giggling as he snuggled into the "giant Augustus plushie".
"Since I'm cuddling you, you have to cuddle me!" the sorcerer said, his pretty face looking up at Luca cutely. It seemed like at this point, he could do nothing but follow Shu's wishes to make him satisfied and get him to fall asleep. Blushing, he cautiously wrapped his own arms around Shu's waist, the oversized sweater surprising him with how slender it was and how he could easily hold it. He then found out how Shu felt like he fit perfectly into his arms, like he was made for cuddling him.
Shu, seemingly satisfied at this point, relaxed in his arms and fell asleep, breaths evening out and becoming slower. Luca looked down at the sorcerer, smiling fondly at the still faintly red ears he could see as well as the small smile he could see on his face.
"Goodnight, Shu."
