Taegi

The day started off quite normally as Taehyung woke up being a little spoon to Yoongi. He tried to get back into the cozy state of sleep content with everything he was doing.

He was startled a bit when Yoongi hummed a bit in his ear. "Hey bub, you up?" He said quietly.

"Trying" Tae yawned back.

"Mhm," the elder replied agreeing with him as the younger wiggled backward into his chest. The scent of fresh linen and Yoongi thick in the warm air.

"I love you" the younger croaked fighting the urge to pop some pills to get some better rest. Despite sleeping just as long as Yoongi he felt like he was dragged by a truck.

"Love you more" Yoongi said back pressing a mushy kiss into his cheek.

Taehyung's fingers twitched a bit as he turned over in the blankets to lay with his head against Yoongi's chest. He didn't care that he was taller than Yoongi and his feet definitely were a foot past Yoongi's. His hand clutched at the elder's shirt.

"It's h-hard" he choked a bit breathlessly.

Yoongs ran his fingers through his fluffy hair in a repetitive motion "I know, darling" he murmured pressing a kiss to the top of his head.

"Can I just have one, half, anything?" He asked a bit pitifully. He had tried to cut off cold turkey a few days ago and it wasn't going so well. His stomach was always in knots prepared to ingest the chemicals. He was just lucky that the vomiting and cold sweats hadn't started yet.

"No," Yoongi said "the faster you stop the quicker you'll be better," he said. He hadn't looked anything up to support this, but it seemed reasonable to him.

Tae made an almost grunting sound as he buried his nose in the indent between Yoongi's pectoral muscles.

"Alright" Taehyung finally sighed into his t-shirt. He felt a bit ill anyways.

Yoongi eventually able to pry himself off of the boy and go to make a light broth for Tae and a grilled cheese. He ate his toasted bread as he pulled out the little box.

A ring.

A simple silver band. Nothing extravagant, but tae would love it the most because it would go with everything. It would never look bad.

The toast timer went off making him jump a bit as he fumbled with the ring a bit before stuffing it back in his pocket. He looked up at the food plating it and carrying the tray into their bedroom a bit nervous.

Tae was sitting up waiting with a little grin across his face as a light sweat bloomed on his brow.

"Hey Tae bear," he said dabbing his face with a tissue as the boy took a shaky spoonful of soup.

"Hey Yoonicorn" Tae mocked back eating. His chest hurt along with a pounding headache. His body was trying to remain at a perfect state of homeostasis. And the lack of artificial drugs that kept him going for a few years fucked it up.

Yoongi sat at the edge of the bed eating the rest of his sandwich watching Taehyung take small bites and sips here and there.

"Eat more babe" he urged getting concerned as he stirred the broth carefully.

"Ya know I can only eat so much" Tae giggled a tiny bit making the bags under his eyes lighten a bit.

"I know I know, I just worry a lot," Yoongi replies scooting over to sit beside him pressing his nose to the side of Tae's neck.

"Don't worry, Loser" tae said trying to brighten the mood a bit. Yoongi sighed in defeat as he nodded with a little grin watching Tae finish his broth an take a few bites of the sandwich before declaring that he was done.

"Let me get this out of the way," Yoongi said taking it to the kitchen with shaking hands. This was it, he was gonna have to go in there and get down on one knee and ask him to love him forever. He took a few deep breaths hyping himself up before walking in completely normal.

"Hey, yoonie does this mole look normal to you?" Tae asked pointing to one on his upper thigh.

"Yes," Yoongi laughed as he sat down on the side of the bed reaching out and holding Tae's hand.

"The first time we met you were so excited to have gotten into the position. And I was excited to not be alone anymore..." Yoongi spoke his thoughts.

"Wow, you got excited just from seeing me?" Tae wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Little pervert," Yoongi said rolling his eyes and continuing with a small smile "you always made me feel less alone. I was just a shell of a person and you made me feel whole" he said with a bit cringe. He decided to skip the whole huge long terribly cringy speech and just got on his knee "please marry me" he asked closing his eyes as he opened the box with the silver ring.

He heard a small gasp before he looked up timidly seeing how happy Tae was as he pulled the ring from the box and pulled Yoongi's hand up with him. "Yes yes yes," he said yanking Yoongi over to kiss him deeply.

Taehyung moved to lay down pulling Yoongi on top of him as the elder slid the ring on Tae's finger mouthing "I love you" into his soft neck.

A loud ring came from the front door startling both of the young lovers.

"Who the fuck?" Yoongi barked as he got up and began walking over to the front door looking at him through the camera.

"It's a bad time Jin, "Yoongi said through the microphone.

"It's an emergency" Jin replies looking at the camera intensely.

Yoongi groans and opens the door letting him in before shutting it. He turned around to face him.

"Tae's a rat," Jin said before Yoongi tried to throw a punch.
