sehun gained the ability to sleep. it’s both a blessing and a curse. a blessing because he would wake up everyday feeling like a human being; a curse because he only ever had nightmares. of splattering red and cold marble. of a distinct stinging in the pit of his stomach. it’s terrifying because sehun could never recall anything when he woke up, would only feel disoriented and confused and scared. it was the same dream every night, and sometimes he only pretended to sleep. after all, he didn’t need it.
but despite horrible nightmares, sehun was always brought back to the land of the living with a whisper - luhan’s voice. that was all he needed. a small whine escaped him, and he shifted a bit, back on the mattress. he really was starting to feel human. he forced himself out of bed in only one of luhan’s more loose sweatshirts because he couldn’t be bothered to wear his own clothes (or the lack of it, really). as he entered the kitchen, he stretched his arms over his head - on instinct - until they found their way around luhan’s waist. sehun nuzzled the other’s shoulder, distracting him from even trying to make breakfast. “’morning, hyung.”

luhan had been domesticated to the extent that he got excited over new cooking utensils and cleaning gloves. he kept it to a bare minimum though, his reactions, since he was so embarrassed. luckily, sehun didn’t catch him just as he was ready to open a bag of new mittens and marvel at the simplicity of such a useful tool. as sehun nuzzled against him, he couldn’t help but close his eyes and let the rest of his senses take over. it was something he did frequently, now that he wasn’t sure how long this will last. he knew it was cruel to both him and sehun, but he wanted to live like this. just until...
“ah, good morning,” he whispered, voice raspy still as he had just stood up moments ago. he grabbed the handle of the frying pan, using chopsticks to stir the rice in kimchi. its color was so pretty and the smell so fragrant that his stomach growled impatiently. “do you want a sunny side up or scrambled?” he asked sehun, taking two eggs in his hand. he glanced at sehun with a smile, warm and content. “let’s see if i manage to make a perfect one today.” turning off the fire, he moved the contents of the frying pan to a mat, letting it cool and took another, much smaller frying pan and coated it with butter. “if i make a perfect one, will you do the dishes?”
