"Jungkook... stop being like that," Taehyung sighs as Jungkook moves quickly forward, obviously trying to ignore the angel to his best ability. 

Is he succeeding? Not really.

Taehyung sighs and walks after Jungkook slowly. They are walking down the rather empty streets of the rich city, trying to avoid busy roads as well as possible. Taehyung's mood is getting ruined because of Jungkook and it's starting to piss him off. He knows the younger is in a lot of mental struggles right now, but that doesn't give him free pass to be an asshole towards everyone else.

The angel has retracted his wings and right now, he just looks like a normal human being. He's walking behind Jungkook like some scolded puppy, his eyes casted down and his hands hanging by his sides.

He doesn't know how to talk to the younger. He doesn't know how to comfort him or make him laugh. He hasn't succeeded in any of these things. Makes him feel terrible about himself... it kind of... reminds him off his past. Not being able to show comfort, that is.

Taehyung bites his lip gently and glances up to the back of Jungkook's head. His hair is bouncing cutely in motion with his steps and even if he is supposed to look mad, he just looks adorable.

"Jungkook..." Taehyung says gently.

"What?" the younger hisses. He continues his walk, not caring if Taehyung is trying to get his full attention.

"Can't you stop and talk to me for just a second?" Taehyung asks with a desperate voice. That's the right word. Desperate. Taehyung is getting desperate for Jungkook's acknowledgement and it's burning him up that he isn't getting it.

The lack of love and just... just humanity in Jungkook is starting to scare him because this is not who Taehyung though Jungkook would be. He knows this isn't the Jungkook he truly loves.

"Why would I do that?"

"B-Because I'm here for you, I'm your guardian angel and friend... you're important to me, so of course I want to talk to you!" Taehyung says in a bit harsher tone than he wanted to.

He didn't sound straight up mad, but he must have just a little bit since Jungkook finally stops in his tracks and turns abruptly.

"Friend? Friend?" Jungkook hisses, "you don't know shit about me and we are not friends!"

He turns around to leave again, but Taehyung grabs his wrist in a sorry attempt to make him stop.

"Familiars then! Anything Jungkook, please just don't close me out-"

Jungkook rips his hand from the other's grip and starts rushing away again. He can feel the anger and pain bubble up inside of him and he's already aware that he will snap at Taehyung if this continues. The angel knows nothing about him or what he's been through...

"Let go!" Jungkook yells as he feels Taehyung's hand grab his shoulder and try to stop him again. Don't hold me down!

"No! No matter how hard you try to get away from me-" Taehyung's hand get smacked away again, "I won't let go."

He's really trying with all of his heart to keep holding on. Even if Jungkook hates him, wants him gone or doesn't give a fuck if he's hurt, he will keep fighting.

"Stop being some asshole, I don't need you! I never have and I never will! You're just some prick trying to control my life, I don't need it!" Jungkook yells. Taehyung feels his brows frown and anger growing in his chest as well. Who's the prick here?

"Why are you like this?" Taehyung asks, watching Jungkook turn once again.

"I've always been like this," Jungkook hisses, "if you know me oh so well, you should be aware."

Taehyung wants to scream. This fight is stupid and unnecessary, just like the rest of their fights. The angel feels his heart boil with anger. Not just because Jungkook is being an asshole towards him, but also towards himself.

"No, you are not." Jungkook feels his wrist getting grabbed again, but this time it's different. It's an iron grip and he knows right away that it will be impossible for him to escape it.

Doesn't stop him from trying though.

He turns around quickly, ready to glare at Taehyung, "I'm telling you, you don't know me-"

"I do Jungkook! I fucking do, okay!?" Taehyung yells, his eyes shining purple like never before and tears stinging in the back of them. Jungkook looks shocked at the other's sudden raise of voice.

"I've felt you for the very eighteen years damnit! Right from the start when your parents left you until you went through hell every single day to survive. I felt how much you hated the world, how much you despised everyone who tried to break your shell-"

Jungkook feels the grip on his wrist getting tightened and he's pulled closer to the angel, his body fighting against it.

"I felt every time you got bulled, every time they threw a punch at you or called you those nasty names and every fucking time..." his eyes glitter with tears and Jungkook is totally numbed for words, "I felt how you longed for their attention. For their love. For all the things you could never have and the things you come to learn to push away."

Jungkook feels his stomach take a turn, in a sick kind of way. He wiggles his wrist as he tries to get away. He's trying to run from the truth.

"The things you forced away that made you... made you a total façade of who you are," Taehyung grabs around Jungkook's neck and gently pulls the boy closer, even if he's fighting for his life to get away. "You're not a bad person. Because even if I felt all that pain, I also felt the beauty of you. Your kindness," he whispers.

Jungkook feels his body halt and his breath hitch. Their faces are only inches apart and Jungkook can almost hear the sound of his own heartbeat through his chest. What the hell is he saying?

"Your kindness," Taehyung repeats and gently pushes some of Jungkook's long hair behind his ear. "I felt when you dropped that money for the homeless lady, even if you made it look like an accident. I felt when you stayed around the park to look for that kid because he was crying, even if you told yourself you were just passing by. I loved how your heart tugged you towards that cat that hadn't eaten for days and you gave it the food you have worked so hard to achieve."

Jungkook feels his body shiver and his eyes blinking rapidly.

"I fell in love with that, Jungkook. The fact that you can't help but be a good person, simply because your heart won't let you," Taehyung adds and gently presses their foreheads together.

Jungkook is flabbergasted. He doesn't know where all of that came from and he doesn't like the fact that everything Taehyung said is true. Everything his heart and mind try to suppress every day has been so clear to Taehyung all this time.

It's scary.

"Y-You-"

"The strongest emotion is deep within you Jungkook. Hope. You won't give up, I know you won't. And even if you keep telling yourself every day that you don't deserve to be happy or that you don't deserve to be loved, I will stay here to prove you otherwise," Taehyung whispers, letting his hand gently settle on Jungkook's cheek. The younger feels his eyes grow big and his hands grab Taehyung shirt in shock.

"Even if you don't want it, I will love you with all your flaws."

Jungkook's heart skips a beat and his body stiffens when Taehyung leans forward and seals their lips together in a deep kiss.

Jungkook has never truly kissed or been kissed before. It has only been for the sake of someone else's pleasure, but this time... it's different.

The younger's hands grabs tightly into Taehyung's shirt and give a half-hearted attempt to push the elder away. However, the soft feeling of Taehyung's lips gently moving with his makes his knees and mind weak. He closes his eyes and let's Taehyung grab tightly around his waist, pulling them closer to each other.

What the hell is happening?

Okay, Jungkook hasn't been completely blind towards the tension that has been between them on this matter, but he has most likely tried to avoid the signs for a long time. Why? He isn't sure.

But he sure does start to wonder why he has suppressed them so much when he feels Taehyung tongue gently enter his mouth and start moving the younger to pleasure on a level he had almost forgotten about.

He hums into the kiss in confusion, feeling his brows frown a little and his smaller hands tugging the shirt so tightly his knuckles are turning white. It's like a form of warmth settles around his heart that he didn't know he needed.

Taehyung loves him? Well, he did hint at it before but Jungkook didn't... he didn't expect it to be love love. Maybe more like a brotherly love?

After a good minute or two, they have to pull apart in order to not lose their breath completely. Taehyung makes sure to maintain his arms around the other so he can't run away.

Oh fuck, did he just do that? Shit, what if Jungkook is mad at him now? He's gonna die double time.

"What are you doing?" Jungkook mumbles and lifts one of his shaky hands to dry his lips. To Taehyung's surprise, Jungkook doesn't pull away or run in fright from him. Actually, his cheeks start to blush deeply and his entire face gets a warm, comfortable glow.

Oh.

"Sorry..." Taehyung whispers in return. Once again one of his hands reaches up and gently strokes the fringes of Jungkook's brown locks, dragging them back and settling a few behind his ear.

Jungkook looks gorgeous like this. So petite and so- him.

"You don't have to hide it Jungkook. Being good and being kind is not a bad thing," Taehyung adds gently. He feels the grab on his shirt tighten slightly and he looks deeply into the younger's eyes that are starting to shine over with tears.

His heart is about to burst.

"I-I'm so scared," he cries out and Taehyung feels his heart break simply at that. "I'm so scared of losing everything in a blink of an eye... I'm scared of this whole mess I just-"

He can't finish his sentence as a broken sob escapes his lips and Taehyung immediately pulls him into a tight hug, pressing Jungkook against his chest.

The boy cries his heart out like never before. He always has this façade on that he doesn't care and that he isn't scared. But he is. He's frightened to the very bone because of all of this and he just now realized how much it's truly hurting him.

Taehyung gently kisses hair, stroking the back of his head like he's a child again.

He will forever make sure to be there whenever Jungkook needs him.

He just has to.
