A/N: Belated Happy EunHae/HaeHyuk day everyone! My 2nd OTP after KyuMin…xD
Prompt #009 from 100 Super Junior fics challenge. I do not intend to join it but I figured I’d use the prompt anyway.
Unbeta'd. So bear with the weird sentences and whatnot okay?^^
~
Eunhyuk has always enjoyed coffee - it needn’t to be one from Starbucks or any other expensive café there is. It could be the cheapest brand of 3-in-1 instant coffee from the local convenience store, yet Eunhyuk couldn’t care less. There is just something about coffee that satisfies him. Sure, it might not be as quench-thirsting as water could be, but coffee has its own redeeming qualities.
Eunhyuk thinks that coffee is like a furnace. It brings him heat in times of cold weather - seemingly enveloping him in warmth that could only be described as comforting. Just like how he feels when Donghae rubs their hands together when Eunhyuk forgets to bring his gloves with him.
Coffee is Eunhyuk’s security blanket. He would never exchange his comforter for any other blanket there is no matter how short it is for him now. Each morning, he finds himself snuggling to the thick but soft fabric, as if wanting to be sucked into it and never wake up. Just like how he snuggles closer to Donghae as the latter creeps into bed after failing to wake him up.
Coffee gave Eunhyuk a high no less than that of the most potent amphetamines. Whenever he felt exhausted to the point that he struggles at the mere blinking of his eyes, the rich aroma of coffee would never fail to awaken his senses - giving him a much needed push - successfully transforming his tired state to that of pure hyperactivity. Not unlike how Donghae does so whenever they play games whenever, wherever.
Coffee, Eunhyuk thinks, can be an elastic band - bendable according to his liking. Whenever he needed energy, he’d take it black - successfully bringing him to full alertness. Whenever he felt like lying low, he’d opt for a sweeter one - extra creamer perhaps? Again, Eunhyuk is reminded of how Donghae would easily adjust to his moods. The other would always know when to stay away and he seemed to know the right words to say.
Coffee may as well be Eunhyuk’s laptop. It stores some of his most precious memories in the form of pictures, videos, and whatnot, and in a way, his secrets too. (Although he wasn’t really happy that the existence of his porn stash was revealed to the world.) Just like how Donghae knows Eunhyuk like the back of his very own hands.
Coffee is also like his iPod. It stores music which he literally couldn’t live without. He brings it everywhere with him - just like how he and Donghae are basically glued at the hips.
Coffee is like make-up. It’s successful in masking Eunhyuk’s innermost feelings. Ironically though, coffee, although naturally a stimulant, calms his nerves whenever he felt anxious for some illogical reason - just like how the mere presence of Donghae makes his heart beat fast and slow at the same time.
Coffee can be Eunhyuk’s personal nurse - always giving him that extra TLC - though unlike one, it would never talk to him. Heck, if it did, Eunhyuk was pretty sure he’d need more than a nurse. Read: A PSYCHIATRIST. Then again, Donghae may as well be the human embodiment of TLC.
Coffee is just like a kiss - hot, wet, and all too satisfying. It makes Eunhyuk’s spine tingly all over as the fog from the steaming cup hits his nostrils, and Eunhyuk can’t help but think that it’s quite the same feeling he gets when he feels Donghae’s breath ghost on his cheeks whenever the younger back hugs him - which he does, A LOT.
Coffee is definitely an addiction - something Eunhyuk believes he can’t live without. It has been a permanent fixture in his life for so long that he knew he wouldn’t know life without it. Just like how the past ten years he spent with Donghae felt like forever to him.

“Eunhyuk-sshii. You have to lay off the coffee.” Dr. what’s-his-name muttered solemnly - a stern expression etched on his features.
“What!?” Eunhyuk was simply dumbfounded.
“You heard it. You know very well that caffeine can greatly affect your CNS. Basically, the negative effects outweigh the positive ones and with your present health condition, I’d say it’s better if you stop.”
“But I can’t! I can’t think properly without it! I can’t focus on dancing without drinking coffee. Heck, I can’t even sleep without downing a cup or two prior to going to bed.”
“I know Eunhyuk-sshii but this is all for the best. I’m prescribing you these Cafcit tablets to give you minute amounts of caffeine so as to taper its levels in your system. We wouldn’t want you to undergo such tedious withdrawal symptoms.” the doctor said as he passed Eunhyuk his prescription - not caring that he might as well have handed him his death note.

“Hey! That’s not coffee, is it?” Donghae shouted out of nowhere as he suspiciously eyed the cup on Eunhyuk’s hand.
“Hae! You gave me a fright!” Eunhyuk set down the cup on the counter as he clutched his chest.
“Don’t you dare change the subject Lee Hyukjae! I’m not buying it!” Donghae attempted a threatening look - only to fail miserably. He’s far too innocent-looking for his own good. Bad ass may be the only look that Lee Donghae could never pull off.
“No. Really, it’s not coffee. You can taste it if you like.” Eunhyuk shrugged.
Donghae brought the cup to his hands and took a sip - beaming as he put it back onto the counter before enveloping Eunhyuk in a hug so tight, Eunhyuk was pretty sure he broke a rib or two.
“H-H-Hae! L-Let g-go of me! C-C-an’t b-b-reathe!”
As Donghae finally released Eunhyuk from his grip, the latter felt a little weak on the knees as the former sent him a dazzling smile which could’ve rivaled that of Helen’s - having successfully launched a thousand soldiers to go on war - or a thousand fan girls for that matter.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Eunhyuk muttered - unnerved at how Donghae was grinning ear-to-ear at him.
“Seriously Hyuk. Why would you heat strawberry milk?” Donghae asked, genuinely curious, but teasing nonetheless.
“Well, old habits die hard. I may have stopped drinking coffee but the craving is still there so I thought that this is a good substitute.” Eunhyuk explained to a seemingly amused Donghae.
“I’m proud of you Hyukkie.” Donghae murmured silently.
As he eyed the younger male in front of him, Eunhyuk decides that of all the things he could compare coffee with, Donghae would probably be the most appropriate one - making him feel all the comfort and warmth and support and many more things that coffee can offer - if not more. But then again, the one thing that separates Donghae from coffee that Eunhyuk hadn’t realized until he quit is that: unlike coffee, Donghae is something he simply cannot live without, quite literally. It’s not like there are OTC Donghae pills anyway.
“Who needs coffee when I have you?” Eunhyuk whispered onto Donghae’s hair as he gathered the latter in a hug - encircling his arms on the younger’s waist while laying his head on the crook of Donghae’s neck, before he finally muttered the words which he knew were long overdue.
“I love you, Hae.”
A moment of silence stretched like an eternity while Eunhyuk’s heart thumped in his chest.
“I love you too, Hyukkie.”
Upon hearing the words he had been waiting to hear since day one, Eunhyuk released the breath that he didn’t even realize he was holding.
All is well.

P.S. Sorry for the incoherence.
