Timing
Yoongi stood at the door, his fist inches from the smooth red wood. His heart racing, he knew timing was everything. The man that stood between him
and his happiness was just on the other side ready to take it away with four simple words. Possibly more, depends on if he's a talker or not.
"She's right there. Go." Whispered Kira. Taehyung and Hoseok stood in the tree line anxiously waiting. They didn't tell him everything. They knew his love for Jinx was enough.
"Why is he just standing there!?" Hoseok whined anxiously. He started to pace back and forth until Taehyung grabbed his shoulder firmly holding him in place. Hoseok grasped Taehyung's arm, peering over his shoulder.
"Come on Yoongs..." he muttered, Taehyung just stood there watching. Waiting. Hoping for the best. He also knew that Yoongi's little sidekick was impatient. So maybe she'll give him the little push he needs.
Yoongi glanced at Kira. He didn't know why he didn't just barge in and sweep her into his arms. In truth it was probably the fear of finding her in that strange man's arms.
"Oh for the love of jerky!" Kira rolled her eyes, knocking hard on the wooden frame. Yoongi gasped, his eyes growing wide as he waited. When the door finally opened. A little girl with lopsided pigtails answered.
"Oh, Hi your highness!" She waved excitedly, taking him by the hand and pulling him inside the chateau. Yoongi's eyes instantly found Jinx. She was smiling at him. Oh how he missed that sweet smile. Her stunning green eyes enveloped by a wave of silvery blond hair.
Yoongi couldn't take his eyes off her, nor could he find the words to speak. All he could hear was the racing heart in his chest.
"Your highness!" Little Jae tugged at his robes. Yoongi's cleared his throat, slowly looking down at the cheerful girl.
He smiled, "Yes?"
Little Jae giggled. "Did my daddy ask you to come?"
"What?" Yoongi looked up to see, the blonde headed man fidgeting with something behind his back. He knew then that he had arrived just in time. Without a moment's hesitation he closed the space between himself and Jinx. She looked at him confused, her soft smile wavering.
He had to try.
Taking her into his arms he kissed her. At first it didn't seem like she was going to do anything. She didn't try to push him. She didn't kiss him back and then suddenly her arms wrapped around his neck.
Tears of joy spilled from his eyes, when he realized she was kissing him back. There was a gasp and then several things happened at once.
"You!" Kira cried in an accusing tone, pointing her finger at Little Jae's father. "It's you!"
Hoseok and Taehyung were now peeking in the Chateau window. Hoseok was hopping up and down like an excited child in a candy shop. Taehyung was actually smiling, except his demeanor showed pure anxiety.
Jimin little Jae's father looked very confused at Kira. Who appeared on the verge of attacking him. In what manner the two gods in the window weren't sure.
Yoongi leaned his forehead against Jinx', not paying any attention to the people around them.
Little Jae's eyes darted around the room, coming to a stop on Kira.
"You know my dad?"
"Yes."
Jimin narrowed his eyes at Kira, scooping Little Jae into his arms protectively.
"I've never met you."
"You—"
Taehyung appeared in front of Jimin. His eyes locked on His. Kira sucked in a breath, frustrated.
Jinx stared into Yoongi's eyes, all the love and adoration she saw in them warmed her heart. Bringing back all the memories full force.
"Yoongi."
Yoongi smiled a huge gummy smile.
"I've missed you."
He pulled her into another hug and they stayed that way as a mixture of blue and black smoke filled the room. Taehyung, Jimin, Little Jae, and Kira disappeared from the Chateau soon after.
——
Taehyung gazed up at the sky. The midnight blue with the brightness of the moon calming his nerves. Kira stared at Jimin without blinking, making him shift uncomfortably from side to side. All the while little Jae lay in the patch of daisies sleeping peacefully.
"Would you stop?!" Jimin complained at Kira.
"Who are you?" She questioned, not taking her eyes off him. Jimin looked at Taehyung who smiled at him like an old friend.
"I'm Jimin."
"You are Jimin, the god of the Seas." Taehyung informed him. Jimin gawked at the god of punishment.
"gods don't exist, are you daft?"
Taehyung rested a hand on Jimin's shoulder.
"Remember the destruction of the city. When you tried to save a little girl from a pen. You were supposed to wipe out an entire city with a tidal wave. But you couldn't stand the thought of losing little K. You begged the fates to spare her. But they told you no. So you took it upon yourself to save her. Instead of doing your duties. Which resulted in you becoming a mundane human for some time. We gods are not supposed to meddle in human's fates. But our love for them is blinding. We can't help ourselves. This is the girl you saved."
Jimin blinked what seemed like a million times. Then his eyes turned blue as his memories flooded his mind.
He looked over at Little Jae who turned into a tiny fairy sleeping on a daisy.
"She wasn't his child?" Gasped Kira. Taehyung shook his head.
"She is a fairy. Jimin's companion. When he returns to the sea she takes the form of a seahorse."
Jimin now stared at Kira, so many emotions showing on his delicate face.
"None of this makes sense." Kira frowned.
"What?" Taehyung turned towards Kira. She pointed to Jimin.
"Why doesn't he remember."
Taehyung sighed heavily, while Jimin took a step closer to Kira.
"I took his memories. It was his punishment. He suffered a punishment similar to Jinx."
"Because he saved me?"
"Yes."
Kira regarded the beautiful man in front of her.
"There are no Tidal waves in our history." Kira stated, hands on her hips. Taehyung smirked.
"He didn't do what he was supposed to do."
Jimin bowed his head. "I couldn't lose her..." he whispered. Kira stared wide-eyed at the shy god before her.
"Just as Yoongi doesn't want to be without Jinx."
Taehyung's eyes drifted to the moon.
"We all long for someone, it's our actions that define who we are and how big our love for them really is."
"What will happen now?"
Taehyung looked back at Kira.
"Protect your king and his queen at all costs. A war is coming."
Jimin nodded, Kira drew her sword.
"I'm ready."
All three had a plan and determination to protect a love so pure. It was written in the stars before the fates could even play with their strings.
