Chapter 11
Jungkook looks around the empty street, trying to find some shady guys who might have some wing fights open. They have been trying to find a wing fight for two days now, but as mentioned it's not easy in this part of town. Not to mention that these fights aren't official, so it's really hard to find them and the people who array them are super scary.
Most people don't know Jungkook has a black angel, so he's making sure Taehyung stays in the air. That way they might fool people into fighting against them and victury will be certain.
Only a few people has seen Taehyung and Jungkook together, so today they have traveled further towards the edge of the city to avoid familiar faces.
Jungkook bites his lip as he looks down different allies, his legs taking him quickly along the sidewalk.
He's still not quite sure why he accepted this offer from Taehyung, but in the end he really hates his job and he guesses he can't get rid of his angel at this point anyway, so he might as well use him for something efficent. Taehyung's annoying, but he's strong and Jungkook hasn't heard of any other black winged angels joining the fights. They might be able to get far.
When Jungkook for the nth time looks down an alley, he finally spots a person that strikes him as a wingfighter or someone close to it. He's wearing a hoodie and leaning against a wall. By his side is a long, silver sword that is a characteristic for wing fights since it's a form of trophie you can win along the way. Jungkook almost jumps around in happiness. Jackpot.
They have been looking for so long, now they might have a shot. Jungkook walks down the alley and the guy quickly takes a notice of him. His green eyes look at Jungkook suspiciously as he approaches him.
"What's up for tonight," Jungkook asks. He feels like a real smugler or something by doing this, even if it isn't illigal to join wing fights.
"Four rounds, outer perimeter. Two white angels and two variegated. You got competition?" the man asks straight forward.
"I have. I want to join all," Jungkook says confidently and the man gives him a weirded-out look. Jungkook doesn't seem like the type to have a strong angel, so he understands why he would get this reaction.
"You got money?"
Jungkook hesitates, but nods. He has taken all the money he has earned this month and put them into this. They have to win or he might actually die on the spot.
"Okay, it start at 5 pm. Be there on time."
Jungkook nods and hands over the money to the guy. He gives him a note of the exact address. Jungkook's hand almost shakes as he hands over his well-earned money... he's gambling a lot by doing this. On the contrary, he will win 4 times as much if it goes well.
They make a discreet goodbye and Jungkook hurries away from the alley. He can't help but keep on a beaming smile as he rushes down the street and into the nearest area where he's certain that guy can't see him anymore. He catches his breath there and waits as Taehyung lowers himself from the sky.
"Did you get it!?" Taehyung asks excited. They have been looking for so long after all, he can't help it.
"Four matches tonight!" Jungkook says and waves the note with the address.
"That's amazing!" Taehyung emerges towards Jungkook and lifts him into a bone-crushing hug. Jungkook tries to kick him off, but in the end he doesn't succeed and let's the elder hug him.
After a while, Taehyung sets Jungkook down and holds his shoulders, "I promise I won't let you down."
"You better not, I used all my money on it..."
Taehyung smiles and without warning he grabs around Jungkook's torso and lifts him into the air. Jungkook yelps and holds tightly around the elder.
"What do you think you're doing!?" Jungkook yells and Taehyung just laughs. He believes Jungkook is reaching a point where he doesn't have the energy to fight back when Taehyung does stuff like this.
"Let's go home!"

Jungkook lies on his back and rest for a little while. It won't be long before they have to go for the fights. He's annoyingly excited, not that he would ever admit it though.
Taehyung appears from the bathroom with his wings folded inside him, making him look like any other human to walk around even if he's far from it.
"Maybe we will find a clue doing these fights?" he asks.
"And why would we do that?" Jungkook asks, his eyes still closed. Taehyung looks at him and takes in his beautiful features.
"I don't know. Destiny will pay it's part, so I guess something could happen at any time," Taehyung walks over and sits down on the ground. He let's his chin rest on the edge of the bed.
Jungkook glances down at him and for the first time he doesn't push Taehyung's face away and calls him an idiot. Making progress already, Taehyung thinks.
"I don't care," Jungkook then says. He really doesn't care, hell can come for all that they want. Maybe he can escape becoming an angel if the devil kills him? Sounds pretty good.
"I do though and I will keep you safe no matter what," Taehyung says with an adorable boxy-smile.
Jungkook once again cracks his eyes open and looks sideways down. He wonders why Taehyung is acting this way about him, even if they barely know each other. But now that Jungkook thinks about it, Taehyung knows almost everything about him but not the other way around.
"Why?" he asks.
"Why what?"
"Why do you care about me so much?"
Taehyung's smile slowly subsides and his purple eyes stare up at Jungkook. It seems like he's debating a whole lot inside of his head at the moment.
"I just do. I have to," he smoothly avoids the fact that there's way more than just friendly feelings behind it. Jungkook sits up, a frown permanent on his face.
"How come I don't know anything about you, but you could write a whole book about me in a minute?" he then asks.
"You want to get to know me?" a sly smirk forms on Taehyung's lips and Jungkook immediatly gets mad. He smacks the other's shoulder and falls back on the bed.
"I wanna know what happened to you," he mumbles.
The room goes silent for quite a while. Only the ticking of the small clock on Jungkook's nightstand reminds them that time didn't stop.
"Some things are best not to know about," Taehyung says softly.
Before Jungkook can comment on it, he feels his upper arm getting crapped and he's lifted from the bed.
"Enough of that, let's go win some money!"
