"we need to talk."

"dude, it's midnight." taehyung hissed, holding his phone against his chest so the younger wouldn't hear, he had almost gotten the boy to agree to go to sleep.

"i don't care." jimin pushed his way inside the apartment and took his coat off, making himself at home, "finish that up quickly." he waved the brunette away to do his thing while jimin went to his fridge to find a drink.

"you have work tomorrow, you should get some sleep baby." taehyung whispered, walking over to the window and looking out at the city lights. he cold practically hear the pout in jungkooks voice as he spoke, "five more minutes."

the brunette chuckled, "you asked for five more minutes twice already."

"i know, and you keep agreeing." he giggled cutely, and taehyungs heart clenched.

"i gotta get going, i'll call you tomorrow." he said, not missing the soft huff of air through the phone and knowing the other was frowning. "okay, goodnight taehyungie." jungkook said.

he said goodnight as well, hanging up and shoving his phone in his pocket before walking over to his friend in the kitchen, helping himself to some cereal and a beer. "so what did you need to badly?" taehyung asked, taking the open bottle and stealing a sip.

jimin gave him a little glare and took the beer back. "jungkook is upset."

that got the brunette to freeze, clenching his jaw slightly and leaning against the counter.
"i was just on the phone with him, he didn't seem upset."

"well i just spent two weeks with him, and i can tell you that he's not taking this well." jimin took another bite of the cereal. "you gotta hurry it up man, or manage your time better."

taehyung ran his hand down his face and let out a sigh, "god i'm so tired." he said, a thousand things running in his head as he tried to figure something out. "i cant wait," taehyung finally said, "i'll just talk to him tomorrow."

jimin shrugged and got off from the chair at the table, downing the rest of the beer. "that's a good idea, we're running out of movies to watch on netflix anyways."

he just sighed again, this was all moving too slow, and it wasn't working out the way he wished. but it'll all be okay, taehyung just had to keep repeating that to himself. except, he also missed jungkook like crazy, it was hard getting used to his presence and then not having that around for so long.

taehyung sent the boy a quick text, telling him not to make plans tomorrow night. it was the end of august, just a week or so away and it will be september. that should be enough time.

——

it was a rough night, the brunette had a hard time falling asleep. being told his baby was upset and most likely because of him, it didn't sit right in his stomach.

that's how it was for most of the day, having to wait for the younger to text him back once his shift ended at the smoothie cafe. he picked up his phone so fast when he recognized the caller i.d. and the picture of jungkook from the beach.

"hey kookie, how was work?" taehyung asked, sitting on his couch and leaning forward to mute the television.

"it was good." he said, there was car honk heard through the phone so he must have been walking home from work now. "i'm really tired though, and hungry."

the brunette got up from the couch right after that, checking the time on his phone before going to grab his keys. "i'll pick some food up for us and come over." he said.

"okay, see you soon." jungkook said, "drive save."

and of course he did, picking up a pizza on the way and making sure there was pineapple on half for the younger. there was a deal and he able to get some garlic knots and soda on the side for a few more dollars.

"hey taehyung." hoseok smiled, opening the door for the boy as he stepped inside and slipped off his shoes. "hey hoseok."

"jungkooks upstairs in his room."

taehyung nodded, knowing the way and going up the stairs to the boys room with food in hand. "hey kook." the brunette said, knocking on the door and poking his head in.

"hyung!" jungkook came running from the bathroom, jumping up to hug the younger and land a kiss to the boys cheek. "woah, baby, i missed you too." taehyung chuckled, stumbling back and trying not to drop the food.

"i'm so hungry." the ravenette finally let go of the older and took the sofa and little bag of garlic knots. "thanks for coming."

"no problem." taehyung followed the younger to the bed and sat down on the sheets. "do you want to watch a movie?"

jungkook shook his head and opened the box to take a slice, smiling at the pineapple on top and moaning when he took a bite. "no, i just want to eat and talk." he said between bites.

"sounds good to me." taehyung laughed lightly, taking a slice for himself and eating up. they both did, until most of the pizza was gone and one a single garlic knot was left. the two of them were now laying on their back, both staring up at the ceiling with their bellies full.

the older boy reached for the ravenettes hand, knowing all too well he'd be blushing pink and hiding his face with one hand. "hey," taehyung started to say, his voice a raspy whisper. "i'm sorry for being busy recently."

"it's okay." jungkook said, but it sounded more like he was obligated to say so. "you try to make time for me." he added, rolling onto his side and looking at the brunette.

he just hummed, rubbing the back of the boys hand with the pad of his thumb. "you know what month is coming up?" taehyung asked, finally looking up at the younger with a little glint of amusement in his eyes.

"september." jungkook answered, smile growing a little wider as excitement filled his chest, "why?" he knew what was in september, and he knew that taehyung knew what was in september, specifically the beginning.

the brunette kept playing with his hand and he kept waiting for an answer. "hmm i'm not sure, it almost rings a bell." taehyung tapped his chin in dramatic thought, looking up at the younger with a playful grin.

"not funny tae, tell me what you're hiding." jungkook hit his chest lightly and sat up completely now, a pout on his lips as he tried to get what he wanted with a single look.

and of course it worked. taehyung was whipped.

"i may have been busy." he started, seeing the frown come back onto the boys face, "but it could possibly have something to do with your birthday."

all the emotions jungkook had been feeling and the negative thoughts and self doubt had flown from his mind, his eyes just on the older boy who pushed himself up to sit as well. "if that's true, i'll be so much more happy than when you showed up with the pizza."

"happy enough to kiss me? because fuck i've missed your lips." taehyung was really blunt right now, it's been too long and he missed turning the boy into a whining mess under his touch.

jungkook carefully placed himself on the older lap, smiling softly as he moved his arms around taehyungs neck. "what did you get me for my birthday?" the smaller boy whispered, their lips brushing together at each syllable.

"now that would ruin the surprise." taehyung said, his fingertips tracing the curve of jungkooks waist. "don't you want to wait? there's still nine days left."

of course he shook his head, jungkook wanted the gift now. maybe he was a little greedy for gifts occasionally. "i hate waiting. you made me wait long enough for you recently."

a little guilt twisted in his gut at the boys words, but he shook it off and pecked his lips softly, "i need to ask you something first." taehyung said.

jungkook just nodded, eyes still closed after being kissed by the other.

"will you be my boyfriend?"
