Work Text:
You found him. It took months but you found him. Together. And now he was safe. He was home with you and Saeyoung. When you found him he was a mess. You didn't know him then, but you knew how much he meant to Saeyoung so you knew you'd do anything for him.
It took a couple months to make it back home after you found him. He spent three weeks in an intensive care unit at a mental hospital. You and Saeyoung visited every day.
After that you had to drive back home, which took 5 more weeks due to distance and amount of stops you had to make. Saeran still had daily Skype calls with his therapist, but he was definitely improving.
With the amount of time you guys spent together over shitty takeout you eventually began to love him, almost as much as you loved his twin. Once he was finally able to be himself and he learned to trust you- you learned just how sweet the smaller twin was. He was reserved but once he opened up he could be so funny with his quips at Saeyoung about how cringy your relationship was. Saeyoung would always pretend to quip back but he was just so happy to have his brother back you knew he didn't really care.
But now you're all home at the bunker. Well the twins aren't home yet your lovely boyfriend was taking his brother to meet his new permanent therapist and to get him the essentials he needed to live here.
You were currently making dinner as a surprise for them when they got home. You guys found him when it was still warm but now that your home the weather has started to turn. Which prompted you to make the meal you were currently finishing. Homemade chicken noodles soup, fresh bread and a side salad (god knows both of those boys could use some vegetables in their bodies).
Knowing that they should be home soon you begin to ladle the soup into bowls and put the salad and bread on plates. You hear the beep announcing that they had entered the bunker just as you finished putting the soup and plates on the dining room table.
You hear laughter as they round the corner, Saeyoung telling Saeran something about how Yoosung isn't gonna be able to handle both of them teaming up against him in lolol.
Suddenly the laughter and conversation stops. You look up to see both boys at the entrance to the dining room. Faces dawned with stunned looks.
"Is everything okay?" You ask voice laced with worry. Did you do something wrong? Do they not like chicken noodle soup? Does Saeran have an allergy you don't know about?
Saeyoung breaks the silence with a light cough.
"Nothings wrong, my love. Its just... did you make this?"
"Yeah, well while you guys were gone I figured you'd be cold when you came back and after only eating drive-thru and take out I figured it might be nice but... um if you don't like it thats fine im not offended or anything so don't worry..." you ramble avoiding eye contact, insecurity washing over you.
Suddeny arms are wrapped around you. You look up confused and you see your boyfriend still across the room with a sad smile on his face.
"Thank you (y/n), no ones ever done this for me before. I mean I ate at mint eye but never because someone was just trying to be kind, there was always motive, it was cheap over-processed sweets that would buy my cooperation" Saeran whispers arms still wrapped around you. You finally put yours back around his.
"Of course, you don't need to thank me you both deserved a home cooked meal after everything. Its really the least I could do." You say back as he pulls away you see his eyes are slightly damp but no tears fall.You hold his arm and pull him to the table. Pulling out his seat for him.
After he's seated you see your boyfriend still at the entrance to the room- still looking slightly in awe. You wave him over and his trance seemingly breaks and a smile spreads across his face. It hits his eyes, which has been a new development since you guys found Saeran, a development you could definitely get used to.
You pull the chair out for him as well jokingly saying "m'Lady" as he takes his seat. Before you're able to walk away he grabs your wrist pulling you down to him to give you a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you," he whispers as Saeran fake gags across the table at the show of affection. You stick your tongue out at him and give Saeyoung a kiss back.
"You're welcome."
As you guys begin to eat, they seem too busy stuffing their faces with soup and bread to even try to have a conversation.
"Both of you better know that if I'm gonna keep cooking like this you guys will have to also eat the vegetables on your plates." You say in a jokingly stern matter.
They both start to protest but before they do you shut them down.
"Nope! You sir," pointing at Saeyoung " have consumed nothing but honey buddah chips and phd pepper since I met you. And you," now pointing at Saeran " I let you get away with pretty much only eating ice cream for the last couple months but no more. Honestly guys, I think you're about a step away from scurvy. No complaints. Eat your veggies."
"Yes ma'am" they both grumble, although the small smiles gracing their faces give away their true feelings. Love swells in your heart for both these boys and you couldn't be more grateful to the universe than you were right now.
