IT WAS A MESS. technically, no one was surprised, because the absence of the ravenettes leadership always led to chaos among the others. it didn't matter what they were trying to do, because the levels of authority seemed to evaporate the second that jungkook fell asleep with his ass on the floor and back against the wall.

"i swear to god, if you don't drop the knife." jin was looking at the blonde as if that would suddenly make him keen to listen to anyone that wasn't himself.

"what are you gonna do?" jimin rose an eyebrow, turning back to the counter and adding the jelly to the bread, "punk ass." he mumbled the last bit.

there was peanut butter and jelly everywhere. what should have been a ten minute mission turned into an hour of bickering over who was making what part of the sandwhich for everyone. that's why jungkook ended up falling asleep while waiting, and the way his fiancé was playing with his hair kind of helped.

"you know my favorite color is purple, that's why i always do jelly." jin said.

"but you know my favorite song is bootylicious." jimin was waving around the knife now, a bit of jelly hand landed on the floor with that but no one noticed. "i don't think you're ready for this jelly."

"i'm ready for lunch." hoseok finally piped in. him and namjoon had patiently been waiting for their sandwiches without getting much in return for their silent observance.

finally there were five plates laid out on the floor, protected from the wooden planks by a thin blanket the boys sat on as well. jimin shares his plate with his boyfriend, who tore the sandwhich in half and easily gave the blonde the bigger half. yoongi and hoseok has their own plates, but apparently it wasn't enough since they kept trying to take from the other while they weren't looking. jin was one of the ones eating normally, along with taehyung who switched between takes bites and kissing his boyfriends cheek.

"your breath smells like peanut butter." jungkook mumbled, then he turned his face to press against the older boys neck. "is that not sexy?" taehyung asked with a mouthful.

"it makes wanting to make out with you an issue." jungkook said. "what if i was allergic to peanut butter?"

taehyung couldn't help but giggle, and the way his chest bounced with the action woke the ravenette up some more. he didn't mind though, if he could wake up to that sound more he may be in better moods. "you'd still makeout with me and then die."

jungkook ended up chuckling as well. "true." he said, sitting up fully on his own and even taking a piece for himself.

"i love how you guys buy a house and we still eat lunch on the floor." namjoon said. his voice pulled the couple away from their own little world, to look up and see all their friends there just as much a part of them as every star is in a single universe.

"this is the last lunch," jungkook said, sitting up and holding up one of the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. like a toast, he patted the floor gently, "this is the end of one day, where old traditions will become new ones in a new place, with the same people and same love."

the other held in their sandwiches, and as lame as it may have seemed to anyone else looking in, this was a special moment. they all looked at the youngest of the group, little smiles on their faces as he continued to speak, "and i'm happy to have you all still with me, after everything and every reason i gave for you to leave for something better. i love you guys." jungkook managed to say it.

it may not have been easy, not when he's usually the one trying to hype them up when going into some intense scenario or simply being a stubborn boy thinking he was too cool to feel those things. it hit differently hearing it from him. "cheers." namjoon said, the way he always did it so flawlessly, changing the subject and saving his brother from feeling too awkward. jungkook looked up his hyung, and the older just winked knowingly.

the smell of peanut butter came closer, and the ravenette crinkled his nose. "get away." he lightly shoved taehyung who apparently wanted to poke the youngers cheek with the tip of his tongue.

"kiss me baby." taehyung giggled, not even bothering to move away.

"no." the younger shook his head and tried to move away, but taehyung was resistant. he had his arms latched on the boys bicep and their legs were already somewhat tangled as they sat together. "you dont want to kiss your fiancé?" it was the way he said that had jungkook stop fighting.

the dark haired male turned a little and say the boy smiling innocently, but it was far from that — he knew exactly what he did. "that sounds nice." jungkook said.

"what?" taehyung was still smiling.

"my fiancé." jungkook repeated those words, and they did so in his mind for a long while after that.

the brunette smiled too, "i like how it sounds too." he stopped trying to mess with the other, and instead snuggled into the boys side, leaning his head against jungkooks shoulder.

"you know," jungkook started to say as he took the boys hand and started to play with his fingers. he paid a lot more attention to the sparkle on the boys ring finger. "there's more rules now."

"oh yeah?" there was that giggle again.

"you're not allowed to leave. divorce isn't allowed, it's in the fine print." jungkook said. there was a lightness to his voice, and the older knew he was only being playful. he knew there was no way that he'd leave.

it was one of the things that still confused taehyung. he thought he was the one that needed to be nervous about being left, about jungkook not wanting to settle when must of his life had been fast and dangerous and full of things that marriage and starting a family didn't really involve. he hated thinking that jungkook believed that taehyung would want to leave someday, and that he felt the need to be open and say so.

"you're my person jeon jungkook. im not going anywhere." taehyung said.

"good." he said, holding the boy a little more.

they sat like that, thighs touching and hands locked, just being together and watching their friends sitting on the floor with their sandwiches and sudden deck of cards. yoongi brought the deck and had already dealt them, it was hard to say if they were playing go fish or strip poker, because hoseok was telling jin to pick up and namjoon was keeping jimin was taking his shirt off. "it's hot in here." the blonde tried to argue. "no it's not, it's actually cold and i'm going to get you a jacket." namjoon argued.

the chuckled at the couple, and then some laughed louder as jin and hoseok continued to yell at each other. it seemed like utter chaos, but it was actually normal, and it was comfortable for them all. jungkook smiled, and then he kissed his boyfriend who still smelled like peanut butter and giggled at the faces the ravenette made after.

it was perfect, and it was forever.
