Last chapter guys😭😭😭

_____________________

"Wha..."

"I was like BWAH! And then I jumped him you know and I pretty sure he shitted his pants for a second there."

"As if."

"Did he even have pants-"

"And I feel like I wrestled him. Like, I felt way bigger in that moment - I'm pretty sure it hurt where I hit him."

Taehyung tries to open his eyes, but for some reason, they seem heavier than usual. His hearing is just fine though, but he's a little confused about what exactly he's hearing right now.

"Sure..."

"I'm serious!"

"Bro, you are literally the size of a bean compared to Diabolos. I'm convinced it was luck."

"I'm literally taller than you."

"And imagine that, I'm still stronger."

"Well, technically-"

"No."

Is the first Taehyung does - after waking up from six days of sleep in order to recover - to roll his eyes?

Yes. Yes it is.

Because of these guys always seem to have a topic on their lips that would literally give anyone the urge to roll their eyes. But in the end, he doesn't really mind. And after hearing these voices day in and day out for quite a while, it seems he can tell who's sitting around him rather well.

He's dead anyway, so he's glad they are atleast in his momery.

Wait.

Hold in for a second.

Is that a hand he's feeling? In his own hand?

It's very soft... the surface is so smooth, yet Taehyung doesn't feel like he has the energy to move his own hand at all and feel it better.

Where is he? Is he dead? Or did they make it out?

He remembers bits of what happened, but a lot of it is in a blur. He must have been injured quite badly for his memory to get this hasy.

Why does he remember falling? It's like a bad dream.

It seems like hours, but it's probably only around a few minutes he has lied like this and felt like everything aside from his brain is numb. It's almost like sleep paralysis, just with the twist that he can actually hear the real conversation that's going on.

"Shit, he's moving!" a sudden loud voice comes through and Taehyung is pretty sure it's Jin. Oh... so Taehyung is alive? Or did they all die? 

"Taehyung!?" now it's Jungkook's voice he hears... oh Jungkookie... did they make it? Did Jungkook really save him in the end?

Slowly (and painfully), the angel's eyes crack open and he blinks a few times to focus his sight better. The roof he ends up staring at is white. Like very white. He keeps blinking for a little before a headache makes him hiss and he closes them again.

That's not the only thing that starts making him uncomfortable, now that he's moving a little, he can feel how badly brushed his body actually is. His ribs feel crushed and the muscles in his legs seems so flexed it's as if a knife has been put down into them from the hip and then dragged to the knee.

Everything is hurting.

However, that's a good thing. Very good, actually. Dying is not physically painful... surviving is.

"Taehyung!? I know it hurts, but it's okay, it won't kill you," Jungkook says again and Taehyung can feel him tighten around his hand, their fingers intertwined and sweaty, but none of them seem to care. 

Taehyung takes a few deep breaths and tries to concentrate on not being in too much pain. 

"Can you give more antibiotics?" it sounds in the background and not soon after, a new drop is put into Taehyung's arm. It must have been some sort of painkiller, because after about 15 minutes, the pain fades.

This makes it possible for the angel to once again slowly crack his eyes open. This time though, he will be able look other ways than just the roof. 

His friends are there. All of them.

Jungkook is on his left, still holding his hand. Namjoon and Jin are at the bottem with Jimin by the corner. On his right side, Hoseok is sitting with tears in his eyes and Yoongi has a soft smile on his lips.

"Oh... am I dead?" Taehyung mumbles out the question, hearing the others laugh soon after.

"You always have been, mate. But you didn't disappear, you're in heaven now," Yoongi explains and Taehyung nods slowly. It doesn't last long though before he frowns and looks over at Jungkook, who's smiling. A rare sight, but damn... he wish he could look at it every day.

"But how are you-" Taehyung frees his hand and reaches up. Gently, he places it against Jungkook's cheek and feels the soft skin. At least Jungkook is okay... that's all he wished for doing this entire chaos mission they had going on.

"In heaven? Well, technically I'm dead, but we are kind of in standby right now," Jungkook explains, "God is looking over the situation right now and the status on Diabolos, but for now everything is safe. It's safe to have us or at least me up here, just in case Diabolos will make it out of styx."

"R-Really?" Taehyung asks and coughs a little. Jungkook is quick to lie his arm back down so the male has to use as little energy as possible. 

"Yeah, from our theory, we are dead. But we don't have any wings and we never went through the purgatory... so we aren't exactly sure," Jungkook says. 

Heaven is a funny thing. It's kind of an alternative reality build upon your brain. That means everything you see fits into the things you have known and been aware of doing your time on earth. That means, if you were a tiger and died without having seen a human, a human won't be possible when you go to heaven. Everything forms after your mind.

So for Jin, the things look one way and for Jungkook another. Hoseok a whole third way, but it's not something you can really explain. It goes beyond human knowledge and understanding. That's just how heaven is. Way beyond anything you expected. 

Black-winged angels haven't really experienced heaven, since they have been stuck in the purgatory for too long or something close to it. But they know about this concept and Taehyung is glad that in his mind, they are in a hospital. That's probably the case for most of them, but it doesn't mean it looks the same.

Again, it's not something the human mind can wrap itself around and understand.

"So we... made it? I-I remember some, but I didn't think we would actually make it," Taehyung says and closes his eyes for a second. He can't even describe the fear he felt when Jungkook disappeared back then. It feels like it was long ago, but the unsettling feeling in Taehyung's heart is still very clear. It's nice to have Jungkook here beside him though.

"I know right," Jin deadpans, "after Jungkook pulled a fucking Usain on me and bolted out of there, I thought it was over for good."

"So that's what he did," Taehyung let's out a soft chuckle, trying not to hurt his chest too much, "I-I was wondering why he would do something so stupid. But it seems our Jungkookie is smarter than we think."

Jungkook huffs and rolls his eyes, clearly hearing the irony. He was smart right there, but it wasn't that speciel. The guys are almost teasing him more than praising him with that tone of voice.

But to be honest, he doesn't care that much. Finally, he feels comfortable in their company. It took a long time, but while he was stuck with Diabolos in hell, a lot of things got clear for him. He missed them and he just, for once, wanted to go home. And that maybe, humanity isn't that bad after all. We could be better, but we actually fight more for each other than he believed in the past. That's another thing that makes us human... our love for each other.

Luckily, everything turned out alright in the end. He's just so happy he got Taehyung with him.

"When you feel better, God wants to speak with you. With all of us for that matter," Jimin breaks in with a smile.

"Seriously? I never thought I would meet God," Taehyung says and the others nod in agreement.

Just like heaven, God isn't something you can put in a box. They get the appearence that fits the persons beliefs, loves or maybe even fears. Depending on what type of person you are, you see God a certain way.

God is a reflection of your persona, so their looks can't be explained either.

"Honestly, I'm a little scared," Hoseok says, but Yoongi is quick to wrap an arm around the other's back.

They talked for a long time before entering heaven, still wondering what was up with Hoseok's memory. He felt quite guilty, for forgetting things all the time. It has gotten better now, which is also weird. They have no idea who did that. But whoever it was, was helping them.

"I don't think you have to be," Namjoon says, "God is not bad. They didn't become our God because we were scared of them, but because we trust them and they will love you, even with your sins. The most of them, at least."

"But you guys suffered for so long," Jin then says, "didn't we basically commit suicide too?"

"No. We are bringing you all here because you want to, but also because it wouldn't be safe having you on earth anymore. We don't know what Diabolos might do and in the end, he could threaten us to bring Jungkook to him by using one of you," Jimin explains, "I believe you would have been brought to heaven no matter what."

It makes sense. It would be easy to manipulate one of the angels into saving their humans and that might be dangerous. It wouldn't be safe for anyone.

"Plus... we commited suicide because we wanted to escape a problem instead of fixing it, even if we didn't have much of a choice. That didn't make the problem go away, it just pushed it upon the people around us and that's what we got punished for," Yoongi adds, "none of you did that. And in the end, us angels were lucky we didn't get send to styx in the first place."

Hoseok, Jin and Jungkook look at each other. It makes sense, but it's still quite hard to understand. The afterlife's ways of doing things is not exactly what they imagined.

"I guess that's right."

"I think we should settle with getting the meeting over with as soon as possible," Jimin says, "Jungkook, you can stay with Taehyung and the rest of us can go hear more."

"Sure, no problem," Jungkook says.

"I don't think it will be long before I can go, with these antibiotics, I feel immortal," Taehyung's says.

"Welcome to the club," Jungkook teases and all of them laugh slightly.

They end up agreeing on meeting later to bring some food and new news back in case they hear something. Every higher up in heaven has been desperate doing this entire thing and are still trying to make sure Diabolos isn't doing anything.

So, they decided to let Taehyung heal before dealing with anything on that front.

As the guys slowly leave the room, Jungkook turns back and looks at the angel. Most of his wounds are covered up with band-aids and his chest is bare aside from the bandage wrapped around him over his shoulder and down his chest.

"Is it still hurting?" Jungkook asks.

"It's better, but it's the medicin. It probably won't be long before it starts hurting again," Taehyung replies and smiles.

For almost the first time ever that another expression, that isn't anger and frustration, is showing on Jungkook's face. This time it's sadness, but there's a hint of joy underneath. That even if Taehyung is in pain, he's alright.

Aside from...

"I can't believe they aren't there anymore," the male mumbles and reaches his right hand back over his shoulder. He can't reach all the way back to where his wings used to be, it's clear they are completely gone.

Those wings were a big part of him and he took a lot of pride in them. It wasn't long after he entered the cave Diabolos caught him and ripped them off. Literally ripped, it was the most painful thing Taehyung has ever been through.

But at that point, he didn't even have time to be sad about it. He had other things to worry about after all.

Now, it's pretty depressing though.

"You won't be able to get them back?" Jungkook asks. He saw the scars when bringing Taehyung back out and it looked terrible. It was almost too bloody for Jungkook to see much, but he's pretty sure it must have been overly painful.

"I don't know. I'm afraid not," he says and immediately sees Jungkook's eyes drop.

It would only be natural for the younger to feel guilty in a way. If it wasn't for him, none of all of this would have happened. He guesses he can't really take the blame, simply because it wasn't his choice to be immortal, but it's hard not to shoulder the guilt when everyone got so hurt back there.

"But I'm glad I lost them. That meant I was able to save you and the world. I don't think there much more for me in life to accomplish," Taehyung says and once again reaches up to care for Jungkook's face.

"That was so cheesy, but thanks," the male replies and doesn't smack Taehyung's hand away as he usually would. Actually, he leans closer so their faces are right in front of each other.

"Did you miss me? Back then?" Jungkook asks. He got told by the others that Taehyung left as soon as he knew where Jungkook were and honestly, it was kind cute. Stupid too, but cute.

"Of course," Taehyung smiles, "I wouldn't get this beat up for nothing."

"You look pretty hot with the bandages though."

"Are you flirting with me?" Taehyung almost can't believe his own ears.

"Maybe," Jungkook mumbles and let's Taehyung grab behind his head and slowly pull him closer. Their lips meet and move slowly together. It has this feeling of finally being home after a long time away and you just feel at peace.

They didn't get to explore much of this 'love' or 'intimate' relationship they had going on, so it's good to feel each other this way again.

As their tongues are licking over each other, Jungkook almost can't catch his breath and has to pull back. It doesn't take long before he leans down again though.

He loves Taehyung.

It took him so long to realize, but in the end he probably felt it right from the start. Taehyung coming to save him and finally... making his everyday life seem managable and putting an end to that miserable loneliness Jungkook won't admit he has always suffered from.

All this time, everyone left him. No one ever stopped to take care of him or worry about him, and when they finally did, he pushed them away. He's just glad one of them was one hell of a stubborn idiot.

The two boys pulls away from each other shortly and as Taehyung is trying to pull them closer again, Jungkook's next words stops him.

"I love you."

Well... it wasn't exactly in a hospital with one of them extremely wounded that Jungkook expected to confess his love for someone, but that's exactly what happened.

He feels like he was too fast and that maybe Taehyung doesn't even feel this way yet. They had so much to worry about that their time together was limited, but for some reason... Jungkook's heart still flutters whenever he thinks of Taehyung.

Whenever he looks the angel in the eyes, he wants to spend the rest of his life with him. He wants to laugh with him and be happy with him.

For the first time in forever, Jungkook feels like he can actually let himself be happy. Nothing is going to stop him, not even himself.

Taehyung's eyes are wide, but soon a stunning smile is painting his lips and sending Jungkook's very being into overdrive.

"I don't think you understand, what those words mean to me," he mumbles as their foreheads leans together, "I love you more."
