Work Text:
The morning sunlight poured through the window and bounced off your beautiful hair as you reached for your work bag and slung it across your shoulder. A small tune left your lips as you made sure you had all that you needed for work today.
Phone, wallet, bag, lunch, all your goodies accounted for. All that was left was to say goodbye to your boyfriend Lohen, unfortunately though right now was his stream time. Surely he won’t mind a small intrusion, right?
The door slowly creaked open as your head popped into your shared bedroom, seeing him sat upon his gamer chair, talking happily to his chat.
Hearing the door opening, Lohen gently turned his head in the direction of the noise and grinned at you, taking in your outfit for today.
“Hi, bunny..! I’m just on stream right now… I-I’ll be done in a few hours.” Lohen mumbled softly so his mic wouldn’t pick up on it, but it did anyway, causing his chat to move rapidly.
“I’m just going to work now… I was wondering if you were gonna give me a goodbye kiss like you usually do.” You smiled softly at the teal-haired man, opening the door a bit further as you spoke softly.
“Oh… uh…” Lohen hummed, looking between both you and his stream. Fortunately but also unfortunately, his viewers don't know he’s got a partner. If he were to get up or you come over to him and be seen on camera, he'd be questioned on the spot. He’s kept your relationship a secret from the internet for two easy reasons.
1: So neither of you would get harassed online or in person over your relationship.
And 2: So the internet couldn't take your pretty little head away from him.
“D-... dammit…” Lohen sighed and took off his headset, placing it on his desk as he slowly stood up. The young man trudged over to you and hugged you tightly, pressing his face into your chest. “Have a good day at work, please… Don’t get hurt…”
He pulled away and looked up at you, a lovesick look in his multicoloured eyes as he smiled dreamily at your beautiful face. He leaned up and kissed you softly on your lips, his arms snaking and resting around your waist. “You look so pretty today… If only I could just keep you in bed aaaallll day. But, unfortunately, we both have our jobs to do.”
You giggled softly at his words, gently stroking his short hair for a moment before reluctantly stepping away. “I know, I wish that could happen too. You better get back to your stream, though. Looks like your chat is getting antsy.”
Lohen grumbled and let you go but not before stealing one last kiss from you. “‘Kay… Please be safe at work today. I’ll be waiting for you here at home with dinner.”
“You got it. I love you, Lo’.” You smiled and nodded, pressing a kiss to his forehead before starting to leave the bedroom.
“Love you.. too…” Your boyfriend’s voice softly responded, drifting off as you walked away.
He watched you step out of the front door before moving back to his PC, sitting down and placing his headset back on. “Okay, chat. Sorry for the intrusion, my… uh, ‘roommate' was leaving for work.”
His chat sped up, clearly seeing through his bluff.
“Yea right dude”
“No one kisses their roommate goodbye”
“So whos the lucky persoonnnnn”
Lohen’s multicoloured eyes scanned through his chat, noticing that they all seemingly heard him talking despite being away from the mic. His cheeks blushed a light red as he groaned and spoke into his mic.
“Okay, yeah yeah… I have a partner.” He admitted to his fans, looking off to the side with embarrassment. “And I love them very much, without a doubt. And I would do anything for them with no hesitation.”
“You simp”
“Fucking whipped”
“Puppy”
The tips of Lohen’s ears flushed as he read all the messages teasing him about his love for you. He tried his best to deny any claims his chat made, though he couldn’t deny a few, he’s quite the puppy to you. Though one singular question caught his eye.
“‘How whipped are you on a scale from 1 to 10?’” The streamer read aloud, thinking for a moment before answering. “Well, dear chat member, I wouldn’t say I’m too whipped. Sure, I love my partner very much and would do anything in under a second if they requested for me to do it. If they leave the house for long periods of time, I get into bed and cuddle their pillow to trick myself into thinking it’s actually them. I’d do practically anything to that pillow! Cuddle it, kiss it, hug it, sniff it, lick it, tease it, hump it, fuck it, moan into it, grind on it-“
His list went on about the pillow. And the more it went on, the more his chat seemed to start going insane, teasing and laughing at him. Lohen didn’t even realize he was rambling on about you with a straight face, talking about how he’d do anything for you in a heartbeat and that you were sent straight from the Archons because of how angelic and beautiful you are. The man genuinely went on for so long that someone in his chat messaged:
“Y’know it’s been like 14 minutes right?”
“14 minutes? Are you serious? You’re kidding me.” Lohen muttered defensively, checking the time and seeing that, indeed, many minutes have passed since he started talking about you. He sighed and ran his hand across his face, groaning into it.
“I genuinely-… That-that wasn’t purposeful, I swear!” The streamer exclaimed, his face flushing even more than before. “I-… I like my bunny okay?”
“BUNNY??”
“SON IM CRINE YOU CALL THEM BUNNY”
“YOU SIMPPP”
“I’M NOT A SIMP!!” Lohen yelled, practically standing up from his chair with defence. “I just love them very much like any other lover would!”
“Yea ‘lover’ emphasis on the ‘love’ what’s next, they come home to dinner being made?” Someone in chat messaged, clearly doing a very good job at trolling the guy.
“I-…” He started, then realized they were right. He did promise you dinner when you came home. He even planned to make it his best he could since he knew that you were having a bit of a rough week. “…Shit.”
The chat exploded into laughter and teasing, finding it hilarious how embarrassed their favourite streamer was, nonetheless how defensive he was about it. Lohen sighed, realizing that he wouldn’t be able to escape this anytime soon. People were already clipping his reactions and posting them, as if he wasn’t already at the peak of embarrassment. The streamer groaned and covered his face with his hands, hiding his embarrassed, slight smile behind his palms.

Hours passed and Lohen’s stream eventually finished up. He sat in your shared bed, scrolling through his phone to see his feed flooded with clips of his rambling. He sighed and snuggled close to your pillow, looking at the time before setting his phone down.
“Maybe I should start on dinner, like I said…” He mumbled to himself, slowly detaching himself from the comfort of the bed and getting up to move towards the kitchen.
The teal-haired man rolled up his sleeves and grabbed a pot and the rice cooker. He decided on making spicy curry, since that was one of your favourite dishes, especially when he made it. Lohen started on getting the rice ready, pouring it into the cooker with some water and letting it start with a click of a button.
He could already picture it. You walk through the front door, exhausted and tired, then he’ll come up and hug you, saying welcome back. Then you’ll realize he cooked your favourite meal and give him aaaalllll the kisses he desired. Maybe your thank you gift for the meal would involve the bed? Who knows, time will tell. Though Lohen’s hopes were up that it would result in that anyway.
The guy was so distracted thinking about your reaction that he totally forgot to start on the curry. He was just stuck thinking about you for the past- his head whipped to the clock on the wall, seeing it’s 5:34- 9 MINUTES!
“Shit…” Lohen muttered under his breath, starting to move around the kitchen to gather all the ingredients he needed. Before he could even set the burner to a high temperature-
Knock, knock, knock. Click!
You were already home, opening the door as we spoke.
“Hey, I’m home! Oh, you’re making dinner, how lovely!” You called out, smiling at seeing your boyfriend in the kitchen, his face bright pink with embarrassment. You reached over and set your keys into the little dish in the entryway, starting to slip off your shoes and take off your bag.
“Damn. Clearly I got a little too distracted.” Lohen muttered and kicked his foot against nothing, clearly a little sour about not having your favourite dinner ready before you came home. How convenient that he decided to daydream about you for almost 10 minutes straight.
You kept a loving smile on your face, walking over to him and hugging him from behind, your chin resting on his shoulder. You look in front of him, seeing the rice cooking and the ingredients for curry causing your eyes to light up at the sight.
“You’re making curry?! Oh, aren’t you a doll?” You gasped and giggled, smooching his cheek. Despite your flay of affection towards him, he stayed silent, a lightly pissed off look on his face. And you definitely noticed it. Normally he would be all over you, he probably would’ve pinned you to the counter already if he wasn’t so… this.
“Hey, huns… What’s wrong?” You mumbled, speaking softly into his ear before kissing the side of his head, trying to coax the answer out of him with kisses.
“Nothing, I-… I’m fine.” Lohen responded, his voice noticeably quieter and more annoyed. “It’s not like I wanted to have a big, beautiful dinner ready for you when you came home but instead I decided to daydream about your reaction for longer than I’d like to admit.”
You blinked, processing his admission. When you finally took in the fact, you giggled softly. “You wanted to have dinner ready, but you decided to think about my reaction to it instead?”
The man scoffed and looked away, but nodded anyway with a light blush on his face. “Yeah, I know. Pretty dumb.”
“No, no. I think it’s adorable. You took ‘thinking about me’ to a whole new level.” You teased lightly, smiling before turning his head with your hand and pressing a loving kiss to his lips.
The action caught him off guard at the time, but Lohen soon realized that yes, you were finally home, wrapped around him and kissing him. He relaxed and melted into your kiss, his fists loosening his defensive grip and moving up to hold your shoulders. He tried to deepen the kiss a bit, but he forgot that you’re probably tired, so he laid off… for now.
You both soon had enough and pulled away, slightly breathless and smiling. Lohen looked at you with such intense love in his eyes, his hands traveling downwards to hold and caress your waist.
“So… are you going to finish dinner yourself or do you want some help?” You teased, smiling as you pressed one last kiss to his forehead.
Lohen groaned, over exaggerating his annoyance and incompliance. “Fiiinnneee…. I guess I could let you help… If you promise good cuddles and kisses later.”
He added in quickly, wanting some sort of treat out of this mess. You laughed and nodded, stroking his hair like you did earlier today.
“Of course, love. I can’t ever not reward you for something as lovely as this.”
