@dencesin, a closed starter

Yunho was silent as he moved through the office hall way. He ignored the looks he got, ignored the quiet voices asking him if he needed help, ignored the louder ones telling him to stop.

He was here for one person and one person only.

When Yunho found Queenie's office, he knocked once before opening the door. His smile was soft and warm. She looked so focus on her task; the little frown on her face was adorable. "My love," Yunho called softly, shutting the door behind himself, "Are you close to lunch time? I'll take you anywhere you want to go."

[formorethananame]

Once Queenie was settled, Yunho started the car and left the parking lot. The place they were aiming for wasn't too far from her job, but he didn't care about the distance. They'd be back when they got back, and that was that.

The smile he gave her was small but reassuring. "It won't be violent tonight," he said, then paused, head tilted. "Well. I can't actually promise that when hyung is involved, he's still unpredictable all these years later, but I'm gonna do my best to keep things civil."

Her offer for help was so sweet. Most people were usually far too intimidated by his line of work to even speak about it out loud. Maybe Queenie didn't quite understand the severity of it yet, but that was okay. "No, love, I don't need any help. Just need to take you to get some food and spend some time with you."

Queenie enjoyed the way Yunho always had a means of guiding her through everything, especially his gentle manners. It was something that always reminded her of what a gentle and kind man he was.

Slender legs crossing one over the other, she tapped her leg gingerly before reaching to pull on her seatbelt. As much as she appreciated her partner's honesty, she still worried about his job. "You could just say not till later for the future, dear."

Leaning against the seat, she slid her hands under her thigh. "That doesn't sound very safe... though I suppose it's something I'll learn to accept, what time do you have to leave by? After lunch? Do you need help with anything?"

[formorethananame]

Yunho's laugh was low and rich. In the dim light of the restaurant, his eyes glowed yellow. Queenie was teasing him, knew exactly what she was doing, and it was working.

What a shame that he couldn't simply devour her right then and there.

"I promised you a lunch," Yunho murmured. He turned his head, kissed thumb, nipped at the pad. "I never said I was going to be done with you after taking you back to your office." The yellow of his eyes flashed with the promise of a tantalizing afternoon. "You eat your food, and I'll eat you later."

If Queenie didn't know, she would've said Yunho was like a big puppy, especially when he would simply lay his cheek into her hand as though he was harmless. This fierce, wild man, so harmless and gentle in her hand. It was something that made her feel rather powerful.

Grinning at the purr, she gently ran her thumb over his lips. "Or I can tease you and say my appetite is so large, I'd rather you watch me eat slowly and lick my fingers free of sauce or suck on the milkshake, imagining it was something else."

Her boldness always amazed her, it was simply something she hadn't ever figured out where it came from. Maybe it was because of him, his presence gave her the courage to be so daring at times.

[formorethananame]

Yunho laid his cheek in Queenie's hand. He watched her with a smile, his eyes glittering as she spoke. That was what he loved about her. To the world at large, she was put together and poised, the picture of purity and perfection.

But for him, she was as wild as he was. Her appetite was as big as his, ready to devour him at a moment's notice.

"All you have to do is say so," Yunho murmured. A small purr accompanied his words. He kissed at Queenie's palm, lips lingering against the warmth of her skin. "We can always come back for the food."

When Yunho pressed a kiss to the back of her hand, she smiled, turning her hand to gently cup his cheek, her thumb stroking over the skin. Though, his words had her gently kicking him under the table.

A cheeky response, one of the reasons why she fell for him in the first place. "Me? And here I thought I was a dessert, I didn't realize you were offering yourself up as a main course for our lunch together. Why get a chili dog when I have one of the tastiest sausages in front of me?" She winked playfully before chuckling softly. A soft hue of pink on her cheeks from her own bold comments.

[formorethananame]

Yunho lifted Queenie's hand to kiss the back of it. He'd missed her in the short time they'd been apart, so getting as much skinship as he could with her was a must.

"I'm still deciding," he insisted, glancing up with a small smile. "Maybe I don't want a burger. Maybe I want a chili dog instead. Perhaps just a platter of fries." Leaning forward, Yunho wiggled his brows and lowered his voice. "Or maybe I just want you."

She couldn't help admiring the muscles on his forearm as he rolled his sleeves up. It was illegal to make something so simple so sexy. "Alright, dad." She chuckled out a tease. "I'll get everything I want then and just enjoy this date we're having then. Thank you for taking me out."

Looking over the menu she looked back up at him "you still haven't told me what you were in the mood for. Fries are a must." Since he offered her to go all out, that was exactly what she was going to do.

[formorethananame]

Yunho set their jackets aside, glancing at Queenie when he felt her foot brush against his leg. She was feeling playful, it seemed, and that was enough of a promise for later.

He smiled at her and rolled up his sleeves, leaning forward on the table. "Order your Coke," Yunho insisted. "There's no need to restrain yourself, it's just a drink. I want you to enjoy our lunch together, love. That's the whole point of bringing you out."

Queenie chuckled at the little warning, though it was enough to make her toes curling. But she held back the purr that would, of course, set her tiger on fire. "Sure you would." She grinned, taunting him as he guided her to their seat. Offering a smile to the staff as she passed them.

It was a dangerous game, provoking Yunho. But she simply couldn't help herself. And what better way to let loose and destress than to see how she could heat up the man in front of her.

"Hmm~ what should I get?" She hummed innocently as she crossed her legs under the table and oh so accidentally grazed his leg with her heel. "What are you in the mood for? Any recommendations? I absolutely can go for some fries and I might even go bad all the way and get a coke."

[formorethananame]

Gently, Yunho dropped his arm to Queenie's waist. He dragged her against his body and leaned down, nose skimming her jaw as he did. "If I want to taste you right now," he murmured, "Then I'll escort you to the bathroom to do so."

The kiss he pressed to her pulse point was slow, a promise of all that he could give her.

Yunho pulled back with a smile. He left his arm around Queenie's waist as they walked to the table available for them. She knew what he was, and she knew of his appetite. Provoking him was dangerous.

Queenie laughed and rolled her eyes playfully at him "anything to scratch that ego, hm?" Though she couldn't find fault in Yunho's ego. It was completely acceptable given the fact that he was able to back up said ego. Plus, she found it charming that he knew he was a steal.

Walking through the door, she gave a small bow to the staff before raising her eyebrow. "I bet you wish you could lick grease off of me. Not happening, big boy." She laughed into her hand reaching for him again and pulling him along.

[formorethananame]

Yunho smiled down at Queenie as she spoke. "You may have," he said, "But I like hearing it. So, feel free to go on." His smile widened into a grin. Having such an ego was no secret, but having Queenie shower him in compliments only made it worse.

Pausing to open the door, Yunho followed Queenie inside with a snort. "I don't care, you know that. Burgers and fries are meant to be eaten with your hands." His smile was sweet. "And if you get a little messy, I'll help you clean up."

For Queenie, she really wanted Yunhwa to enjoy time with her and allow her into his life. Because it was important to her that her partner's child would always like her. Especially since she intended being in Yunho's life for the long run.

The lingering touch on her knee had her hum in content. "I'll make sure we have enough to do to keep him busy for the night." Undoing her seatbelt, when the door opened, she turned in her seat and gingerly got out after taking his hand. Her fingers slid into his, interlacing them as she smiled.

"Did I ever tell you that your hand is big and strong?" A soft chuckle followed as she followed him towards this much needed lunch. "I'm warning you now, I'm rather hungry, and I can definitely eat a burger. There might be grease on my hands, but I refuse to eat a burger with a knife and fork."

[formorethananame]

Leaving Yunhwa in Queenie's care hadn't occurred to Yunho for several reasons. To put it simply, he didn't want to burden her. He wasn't sure if they were at the point yet that he could ask that so freely of her.

But since she was offering, now seemed to be a good time to give it a go.

"I think Yunhwa would like that," Yunho said, glancing at Queenie with a smile. "I'm sure hyung's boy is a little tired of being the babysitter, and Yunhwa would love to see you."

Yunho reached out and squeezed Queenie's knee. "Let's go eat, then." He parked the car and shut off the engine, then climbed out and walked around the car. Yunho opened the door and held his hand out to Queenie, waiting for her to step out.

Queenie's hands folded in her lap. Did it worry her that her boyfriend had such a job? Of course, and it made it worse that everyday was unpredictable. What if he simply didn't come home one day? She masked her worry by looking out the window, taking in how things were zooming by like a fast reel.

"As long as you're safe, that's all that matters." He had a son to go home to at the end of the day. And that should be enough of a reminder to be safe and return home without her nagging him. Of course, there were days when she wished her partner did something else, something more predictable, where she knew he was safe, but she also knew better than to change someone.

Because love alone, was simply not enough to force another to change their way of life. "I meant in the sense if you wanted me to watch Yunhwa. But, just food and quality time sounds good to me." She looked over with a soft smile before gazing back out of the window. "I can eat a horse."

[formorethananame]

Yunho reached ahead of Queenie to open the door for her, then followed her out. "I see patterns," he retorted, "It's apart of my job. It's what keeps everyone alive."

The weather outside was nice, thankfully; the clouds he'd seen coming in hadn't opened up yet, hadn't released their downpour. Yunho placed his hand on Queenie's back. He guided her to his car and opened the door for her, shut it once she was in, and then climbed behind the wheel.

"You should know by now," Yunho said, looking at Queenie, "That if I don't answer right away, it's too secretive to say out loud. I won't be busy until later in the evening. Hyung has a meeting to conduct later and wants it to be handled late."

"Is that so? How are you so sure that's what I'm down for? Do you have powers to read my mind each time?" Queenie chuckled playfully. Though as they exited out of her office, her hand raised to pinch the bridge of her nose between her eyes a few times.

Having been consistently staring at her computer and ipad, and switching between drawing on the ipad and paper, her eyes were tired and needed some rest. "Not really, only a little." She knew Yunho was a cause of many squeals in the office, whenever he came around, there was giggle and whispers, but they were things she was able to ignore. "It's okay, I just need to get over this block and I should be able to deliver on time. You still haven't answered me, you're not busy today?"

[formorethananame]

With a smile, Yunho followed Queenie, his hand secure in hers. "Of course," he said, "I know exactly what you want. It's my job to know exactly what you want."

It was easy to ignore everyone else as they made their way to the office exit. People always stared whenever he arrived, but he never cared. Queenie was his only concern. "Have you been stressed today?" Yunho asked. He paused to open the door for Queenie, then followed her out, leading her to the car. "I know you've had a lot on your plate."

Queenie playfully rolled her eyes as she took his hand and got up off her seat and was in his arms. "Of course, I tell you to pick anything in the world and you choose burgers and fries." She smiles teasingly, as though it wasn't one of her favorite indulgences. There was something so sinister about enjoying fried foods when she knew she shouldn't be.

"I want a milkshake with that burger and fries, mister. You better add some bacon and mushrooms to it too." She laughed out pulling out of his hug to tug him along. "Did you not have work today? I'm surprised to see you at my office."

[formorethananame]

Yunho cooed softly. He slid his thumb along Queenie's cheek, indulging himself in the softness of her skin. When she gave in to him like this, it was always a moment of triumph. Such a head strong woman, and here she was, submitting to him, letting him take care of her. It was everything his inner beast wanted.

"C'mon," he said. "I'll take you to get something simple. A burger and fries, it'll fill you up." Yunho shifted away from the desk. He took Queenie's hands and pulled her up, pulled her right into his arms. "You can have whatever else you want."

With Yunho leaning against her desk, she allowed herself to forget her designs for a moment in favor of admiring her hot boyfriend. It was definitely a nice sight to behold, how could she let up an opportunity to admire him.

"Fine, we can find some time for a meal. But I'm tired and would love for you to just take control and decide." She mumbled pressing her cheek against his hand and nuzzling it. "What are we getting?"

[formorethananame]

The smile on Queenie's face was beautiful to see. But the tiredness in her eyes was not. Yunho clicked his tongue softly as he came closer. "You better make an exception," he chided gently, "You need food to keep going on that project, my love."

Yunho perched on the edge of Queenie's desk. He knew how focused she could get and the mess around her was evident of that. Reaching out, Yunho cupped Queenie's cheek. "I can pick for us, if you're feeling tired. I know what you're favorites are."

Queenie was surprised to hear the ruckus happening in her office. She had already expressed to her staff that she wanted no one to bother her since she was frustrated with herself and her lack of inspiration for the new project.

Balled up papers scattered her desk and the floor surrounding it. It was adamant she gave up hitting the trash bin after a few tries.

Looking up when she heard the familiar voice, a soft smile spread over her face. She probably looked like a mess, her hair tied up into a messy bun, had they made plans? "There's no lunch time when I'm rushing on a project, Yunho~." There was a teasing tone to her voice but nonetheless, still sounded raspy and tired. "But for you, maybe I'll make an exception. Are you craving anything? Have anything in mind for food?" @formorethananame
