Work Text:
Yut Lung was busy doing his morning skincare without a single care in the world. His mind is usually filled with overthinking and all kinds of dark thoughts but as soon as he’s taking care of himself all those worries seem to disappear. He applies an expensive cleanser with a pretty design. While he was waiting for it to take effect he hummed along the music he was listening to. Sing always had bullied him for his basic music taste and tried to show him “real music”. Yut lung scrunched his nose in disgust as he remembered the songs he showed him. It was obvious to him that he had the better taste in music and Sing was just an idiot.
After waiting for a few minutes he walks into the bathroom attached to his room and was just about to wash his cleanser off as suddenly the music stopped playing and was interrupted by the ear-hurting noises of his ringtone. He lets out an annoyed sigh and walked back into his bedroom. “Who would even call that early in the morning?” He thought and checked his phone. Unfortunately he was too slow and the caller already hung up. First he thought to just ignore the call and continue with his skincare but curiosity got the best of him and he checks his call list. Yut Lungs widened in surprise as he realized who had called him. He reads the name over and over again still in complete disbelief of who had called him.
“Sing <3. One missed call. 7:45”
It wasn’t unusual that Sing was being an annoying idiot and interrupts him in the worst moments possible but Yut Lungs still was very surprised that Sing had called him especially at this time of the day. He usually sleeps at least until noon. Yut Lung quickly gave him a call back because he was a little worried about Sing. “Why is he awake? Did anything happen to him?” All those thoughts raced through his head and after a what felt like an eternity Sing picked up.
“Hello!!” He greets Yut Lung happily. Yut lung rolls his eyes. He really thought something had happened to the other boy.
“Heyy. Why are you up?” He asked him still with a little concern in his voice.
“Can’t I be up early for once?” Sing muffles and yut lung could basically SEE his pout through the phone which made him chuckle a bit.
“Whatever. Why are you calling anyway?” Yut lung asked while walking into the bathroom again about to wash his cleanser FINALLY off.
“Oh you know I have been thinking…you come out of your room so rarely and you just stay there fining comfort in your own misery” Sings words hit way too close to home and leaves Yut Lung speechless for a moment but he quickly composes himself.
“And you called me why?..just to judge me?” He snaps at Sing.
“I’m not judging!!” He quickly defends himself. “I’m just thinking that you should go out more often…and I wanted to ask if you may wanna come to this new restaurant with me?” Sing asked sounding suddenly more shy than usual. Yut Lung couldn’t believe his ears but lets out a small laugh at his friend’s shyness.
“Going out with you huh? And I bet you expect me to pay huh?” Yut Lung responded with a hint of his usual cockiness.
“Pff yeah as if. I’m gonna pay this time. I wouldn’t have invited you otherwise.” Sing muffles a bit offended even though it was true, Yut Lung pays most of the time. But this time he wants to invite the other. For the second time today Yut Lungs eyes widened.
“Okay wait. First you are up before 2pm and now you’re inviting me over for dinner?! Are you sick?” He asked and the worry from earlier creeps into his voice again. Sing doesn’t know if he should be offended or amused.
“I’m not sick. I just wanted to take you out of your room. Is it that hard to understand?” Yut Lung shakes his head even though Sing can’t see it.
“No”
“Good. I’ll be at your place at 7pm. Be ready by then I don’t wanna wait.”
“O-okay” Yut lung mumbles. Sings authoritarian tone catches him off guard.
“Okay good!! See you later!!” The boy on the other end of the line says. His tone was way more happy and excited now.
“See ya” Yut lung responds before handing up. He couldn’t believe that SING out of all people had asked him out. Even though it wasn’t a real date he was getting quite excited. Yut Lung has about 11 hours to get ready. That is more than enough even for him. A small smile plays on his lips and he finally washes his cleanser off.
…
At 7pm he walked out of his Penthouse. The sun was slowly setting casting the streets in a soft glow. Outside the apartment building stood Sing. He was dressed casual like usual but with a hint of elegance. Yut lung on the other hand was dressed completely elegant. What a surprise. His long black hair fell down his shoulders perfectly and made his face appear even more attractive.
“Heyy” he said to Sing with a soft smile. He decided to at least try to be nice to Sing today because he got invited by him. Those behavior seems to amuse Sing but he doesn’t say anything about it.
“You look good you know that?” Sing says and wipes a single strand of hair out of Yut Lungs face. Usually he hates it when someone touches his hair or his face but with Sing it’s different.
Yut Lung fights the urge to just say “I know” and ends up just mumbling a “thank you, you too”
Both boys started walking towards the restaurant Sing chose to eat at. Yut Lung never went to that place before. Maybe because it opened just a few weeks ago or maybe because he was used to other standards. But he decided to still give it a try with no prejudices.
The inside of the restaurant was really pretty and cozy and it was obvious that Yut Lung was “a little” overdressed but he couldn’t seem to care less. He knew he looked good. A waitress walked up to them. She had a warm smile on her face.
“Hello!! Do you two have a reservation?” She asked them.
“Yea we do” Sing replied. He really had thought about that which surprised Yut Lung even more. Usually the other boy thinks way to less.
“Okay, on what name?”
“Soo-Ling”
“Okay follow me.” She smiled again and lead them to a place in the corner of the restaurant. You could look through the big windows and it was overall really cozy. On the table there is a white tablecloth with dark read hearts and some electric candles on the windowsill. The pillows on the corner bench were also heart shaped and everything seemed very romantic overall. Yut Lungs eyes sparkled a little. It was clear that he liked this vibe way more than the other fancy restaurants he had been to before.
Yut Lung and Sing looked around noticing that the rest of the restaurant wasn’t loved themed. They sat down kinda awkwardly and the waitress walked away to get them the menu.
“What is this?” Yut Lung asked Sing with a teasing smirk. Sing blushes softly.
“I don’t know.. I didn’t knew about this either” he saiys kinda awkward. Yut Lung knew that Sing didn’t ment it to be that romantic but it was still kinda funny to tease him.
The waitress came back a few minutes later handing them the menu. The decision of what they wanted to eat wasn’t hard because Yut Lung was pretty picky about food so he just chose noodles like always.
When the food arrived it was already dark outside and the electric candles turned on. Now it was even more clear that this wasn’t a normal restaurant. Or at least a normal table. The small tomatoes on Yut Lungs pasta were cut into hearts and the ice cubes in their drinks were also heart shaped. The atmosphere was less awkward than it was before. Now it was just romantic and intimate. They felt like the world around them doesn’t exist.
“Be honest, this all seems a little suspicious. First you ask me out for dinner, then the atmosphere is all lovey dovey….are you sure this isn’t secretly a date?” Yut Lung couldn’t help but tease the poor Sing further.
“Oh shut up…you don’t sound like you’re complaining so go ahead and eat your food before it gets cold” Sing says casually. Yut Lungs jaw drops a bit. Sing didn’t deny it. But he also didn’t confirmed it. This was all way too confusing.
…
They finished eating and to Yut Lungs surprise Sing pays for real. The slowly walk out of the restaurant hearing the waiters and waitress gossiping about them behind them. They heard words like “cute” and “romantic couple”. Outside it was dark and the streetlights were the only source of light. Sing gathered all his courage and took Yut Lungs hand who seemed a little bit tense next to him. But the second their hands made contact he seemed to relax a little.
“Are you gonna bring me home?” Yut Lung asked with a soft voice that almost sounded like a whisper. Sing chuckled.
“Only if I can stay too” He responded and Yut Lung huffs.
“Was that your plan the whole time?! Whatever I guess you can stay…but no funny business okay?”
“Oh of course not” Sing teases him again and Yut lung just laughs softly. You couldn’t deny that he finds that Sings unfunny teasing is quite attractive.
…
They enter Yut Lungs Penthouse and they take off their shoes.
“You wanna drink something?” Yut Lung asked but continues talking without wanting for an answer.
“Alcohol is in the kitchen. I’m gonna remove my makeup and change into something more comfortable real quick.” And with that he disappeared into the bathroom.
Sing chuckles and made his way into the kitchen. He takes out two glasses out of the cupboard and fills them with juice. He doesn’t like it when Yut Lung drinks alcohol. Sing places the glasses on the coffee table in front of the big couch before going into Yut Lungs to change into comfy clothes too. He has his own little drawer in his room because he was at his place so often.
“What are you doing in my room?” Yut lung asked from the bathroom.
“Changing!!” Sing called back. Yut Lung leaves the bathroom just as Sing took off his shirt. He starts laughing.
“Yoo you wanted to see me change that bad?” He teases Yut Lung who just rolled his eyes.
“I don’t give two fucks about you changing I just wanna change too.” Usually Yut Lung isn’t comfortable changing around people but Sing is the only exception.
As soon as the both boys changed into comfortable clothes they sat down on the couch together and Yut Lung noticed the glasses.
“Juice? Really?”
“You know I hate it when you drink.” Once again Yut Lung rolled his eyes and mumbles a small “fine” before he toasts with Sing. The glasses made a small “kling” sound and Yut Lung cuddled up to Sing.
He was strangely comfortable around him. Changing in front of him, wearing no makeup in front of him…not being all dressed up. Sing really enjoys seeing Yut Lung all natural like this. Not that he doesn’t likes his dolled up version. Sing places a little kiss on top of Yut Lungs head.
“It was really beautiful with you today. Thank you” Sing whispered.
“No need to thank me..you’re making this awkward..but yes it was beautiful I guess.” Yut Lungs responded to him and Sing laughed softly and pulls him closer.
Ay this point they couldn’t even blame the waitress anymore for thinking they are a couple. Because right now they really look like it.♡
