¤ Dusk Til Dawn - Baby I'm Right Here/Slowed TikTok Version
Zayn, Sia ↲

'Cause I wanna touch you, baby
And I wanna feel you, too
I wanna see the sunrise and your sins
Just me and you

▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎

There was something different about waking up in the arms of someone you loved, of someone who loved you back. It was a sensation Jungkook had difficulty putting into words. But when he opened his eyes and took in the sleeping boy next to him, his heart expanded and his mind was at peace.

And that was all because Kim Taehyung was in love with him.

One of the strongest, most thoughtful, kind - and hell, beautiful - people he knew loved him. What he did in life to deserve this . . . this incredible amount of happiness . . . he wasn't exactly sure. But Jungkook was grateful.

So fucking grateful.

All night, the two cuddled and talked, high on love and laughter. A giddy sort of excitement lingered in the air, one that spoke of promises and journeys to come. The future didn't seem as bleak as it once had; instead, Jungkook was actively looking forward to all the days to come.

And even as time passed, he'd never forget the moment Taehyung said he loved him. At first, he was shocked to see Taehyung at his kitchen table, talking to his father no less. That was a surprise in and of itself. Then there was Juyeon, instructing him to be quiet by placing a finger over her mouth. And then Taehyung proudly spoke those words, making it difficult for Jungkook to remain still and quiet. All he wanted to do was tackle the elder and share how he felt the same.

Because he did . . . He was so inconceivably in love with Kim Taehyung.

Jungkook wasn't exactly sure how long he knew he loved Taehyung. There wasn't a particular day or moment where Jungkook could say, Ah! That was it! It seemed to happen both slowly and suddenly, like he'd been anticipating the fall but never felt his stomach drop.

He just woke up one day knowing.

And the only way he could describe falling in love with Taehyung was comparing it to falling asleep. Jungkook was swept under into a world he had no control over, surrendering his conscious mind for his unconscious will. Any power he once held was removed, though that didn't scare him one bit. Instead, he was liberated. He was free.

He was purely and simply in love.

And while he was planning on telling Taehyung on his own, he was so overjoyed the revelation came out the way it did. It felt more honest to who they were as people. And besides, it beat Jimin's idea of creating a flash mob put on by all the construction workers.

"What are you smiling for?" A groggy and deep voice suddenly pierced his thoughts.

"Just thinking about us," Jungkook said, eyes meeting Taehyung's. They were covered by his unruly hair, so he swept back the strands and placed a kiss against his forehead.

"You missed," Taehyung tutted, pursing his lips for emphasis.

"Oh, let me try again." Jungkook kissed each of the elder's cheeks, savoring the feeling of his soft skin against his mouth. But he purposefully avoided his lips.

"Do I have to do everything myself?" Taehyung sighed dramatically, quickly rolling on top of Jungkook. He hovered over him, chests pressed together and mouths a few inches apart. "Kiss me well, now."

A chuckle escaped Jungkook's lips. "I see Mr. Demanding has come out to play. What is he going to do -?"

Taehyung captured his lips roughly, swallowing the rest of Jungkook's question. Hands instantly knotted into hair and clothing, legs tangling and heartbeats colliding. By the end of it, Jungkook was dizzy and his mind was mush.

"You're a little frisky this morning," he commented as he tore his mouth away, gulping down much needed air.

Taehyung kissed his neck before sitting up fractionally. "What can I say? I can't get enough of you, love."

It was quiet as Jungkook peered up at him, admiring his dark eyes and swollen lips. His hands glided up Taehyung's clothed chest, relishing in the feel of his body underneath his palms.

A little gasp left Taehyung's mouth and his hands instantly went on top of Jungkook's. But he didn't push him away.

"All good?" Jungkook asked, watching the elder's face carefully. There were no traces of fear or discomfort, but he needed to make sure. That's how they'd been building their trust ever since knowing each other.

"I'm still getting used to it, to be honest," Taehyung revealed, slowly moving Jungkook's hands up and down his body. "But I like your touch . . . It feels good to me."

"Your touch feels good to me, too," Jungkook told him with a smile. "It's comforting and full of love. I hope I make you feel that way as well."

"You do, Kook. And actually, there's something I wanted to talk about."

The elder rolled off of him, laying down to face Jungkook. He looked so damn beautiful up close like this, with long lashes and charming freckles. Jungkook was so lucky that he was the only person who'd ever be this close to this perfect human.

He started caressing Taehyung's side, his hand drawn to the elder's body like a moth to a flame. "Are we gonna talk about sex?"

Taehyung chuckled and brought his fingers to Jungkook's mouth. He outlined his lips lightly, the touch sending shivers down Jungkook's spine.

"Not quite," he responded. "But you know, I'm glad you don't shy away from the topic. I never want you to walk on eggshells around me when it comes to intimacy and sex. Being open and honest about everything really does help me move forward."

Jungkook smiled against his fingers, practically purring at the touch. "Well, anytime you want to talk about anything, I'm all ears. That's what I'm here for."

"Good. And I finally think I figured something out for myself, so I wanted to share that with you, too." The elder paused, seeming to collect his thoughts as his fingers shifted to smooth out Jungkook's eyebrows.

This sense of absolute trust between them was so refreshing to Jungkook. While he never had a committed relationship in the past, his previous flings had never been open or honest. But with Taehyung, that was never an issue. They shared thoughts and dreams and fears.

"Before you," Taehyung began softly, "intimacy was something I ruled out entirely. It went beyond not trusting others . . . I didn't trust myself. But over these last few weeks, I've been able to tune into my body more. I'm embracing myself more and realizing I deserve something like pleasure. And I think exploring that is going to help me heal even more. I want to reclaim myself. And this time, the choice is mine to make."

Jungkook's lips spread into a wide smile, revealing his teeth and making his eyes crinkle. Happiness radiated throughout his body, and not just because of how forthcoming and reflective the elder was. He was just so proud of Taehyung for everything.

"It's because of your patience and compassion, Kook," Taehyung continued, his voice light with awe and gratitude. "You've made me feel secure enough to come to these conclusions. I'll never be able to thank you enough for that."

Jungkook shook his head, not able to take credit for such a thing. This went beyond anything he could ever do.

"Tae . . . Your growth and change in mindset . . . That all came from you. And it started before you and I really began. You touched me. You hugged me. You kissed me and made the decision to let me touch you. In order to do those things, you opened yourself up to all the possibilities. That strength came from within you."

Taehyung bit his lower lip, teeth sinking into the delicate pink skin. He appeared lost in thought, so Jungkook leaned forward and kissed him softly. It was crazy how a simple brushing of lips could make his heart flutter.

The elder pulled away but didn't go far. He pecked kisses all over Jungkook's face: his nose, cheeks, forehead, jaw. "If I never met you, I wonder what I'd be like right now."

"You'd be an art student who never had the honor of drawing all this," Jungkook teased, shimmying his shoulders.

"You know that's not what I meant."

"Tae," Jungkook repositioned himself so he was leaning over the elder. "Sure. Maybe I was the catalyst. But the desire to challenge yourself and your way of thinking came from you. Don't sell yourself short. And know that whenever you're ready to talk about the rest, I'll be ready to talk, too."

Taehyung rewarded him with a breathtaking smile, literally pulling the air out of Jungkook's lungs. "I love you, Kookie."

"I love you more," he responded, bending down for another kiss.

"Doubtful."

They lounged in bed for a little while longer, moving onto other topics. But the whole time, Jungkook couldn't erase his pride for Taehyung and his growth. It was so inspiring and it made him want to continue evolving as well.

"Alright," Jungkook announced sometime later, tugging back the covers and standing. "We've been in bed all morning. Time for our daily body appreciation session."

"You know, that's really a mouthful to say," Taehyung laughed, rolling out of bed and leading the way to the bathroom.

"It is," Jungkook agreed with a resounding chuckle. "How about we call it DBAS?"

"Really?"

Taehyung scoffed at him in mock judgment, which triggered Jungkook to playfully smack his ass.

But then he remembered he never touched Taehyung's ass before and held his hands up in defense. "Was that too much?"

The elder looked over his shoulder, a smirk pulling the corner of his mouth up. "Not at all. It was kind of hot, actually."

Jungkook groaned as they entered the bathroom. "Please don't tell me you have a spanking kink. I might not survive."

Taehyung rolled his eyes, but didn't disagree otherwise. He walked up to the counter, tugging his shirt off and throwing it to the side.

And even though he'd seen Taehyung shirtless multiple times now for these sessions, Jungkook still couldn't help his reaction. His stomach tightened as he took in the tanned skin covering the elder's chest and back, smooth and glowing under the lights. There was soft muscle definition to his body, though not as much as Jungkook. But that was okay . . . he was absolutely perfect just the way he was.

Jungkook neared the elder, stepping up close behind him. They tried several variations of these sessions over the last few weeks. Some days, Jungkook sat on the counter, letting Taehyung run his hands over his chest without aid. Other times, Jungkook led the movement, guiding the elder and staying with him each step of the way.

It always came down to Taehyung's choice.

"How do you want to do this today?" He asked, kissing the back of the elder's neck.

Taehyung made eye contact with him through the mirror, a small spark turning them mischievous. "Your hands on mine."

"It would be my pleasure," he said, reaching around Taehyung's body. Seriously, he loved standing close to him like this.

For a while, they practiced sliding Taehyung's hands up and over his arms, shoulders, chest, and stomach. The two took their time, pausing every so often over the more sensitive areas.

"You're doing so well, baby," Jungkook whispered in his ear, pressing a quick kiss on the side of Taehyung's neck.

A gentle hum rumbled in the elder's throat and he slightly leaned his head to the side. Jungkook made eye contact with him in the mirror, and after seeing a subtle nod, continued kissing along Taehyung's neck.

His lips ghosted over the tan column, pressing open mouth kisses to his skin. When he reached the crook of Taehyung's neck, Jungkook sucked softly, knowing this spot always felt good to the elder. At the same time, he led Taehyung's hands over his lower abdomen.

A breathy moan was his reward for that.

In all of their previous body appreciation sessions, nothing ever went past simple touches and kisses. Never before had Taehyung moaned when they were doing this. But Jungkook remembered the elder's words about embracing his touch, acknowledging how he deserved pleasure, too. Maybe this was all a part of his continued exploration.

Taehyung quickly slid his hands out from underneath Jungkook's and put them on top. With their positions reversed, it was now Taehyung leading Jungkook's hands over his body.

The velvety feel of the elder's skin beneath his palms was like a drug to Jungkook. Everything was so soft and supple, gliding against his own skin in the easiest of movements.

Jungkook kissed Taehyung's neck again, closing his eyes as he relished his task. Soft moans and whimpers escaped Taehyung's mouth, sounds only Jungkook had the privilege of hearing. And, as Jungkook continued to suck hard on the elder's skin, his hands were moved lower and lower.

"Feels really good, Kook," Taehyung's deep voice called out.

Heat was pooling in Jungkook's stomach, the act of pleasuring Taehyung turning him on immensely. He tongued the shell of his ear, biting down on the lobe once he got there.

And then, through no will of his own, Jungkook's hands were moving from skin to the material of Taehyung's loose pajama pants. They were directed over the waistband, moving slowly downward until they reached Taehyung's covered and hardened dick.

Jungkook's eyes flashed to the elder's, silently asking if this was okay, if this was what he wanted.

Taehyung was staring right back at him, moving one of Jungkook's hands back to his stomach while the other remained over his length. "Kook?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you make me feel good?"

Jungkook nodded, knowing he didn't need any further clarification. If Taehyung was saying he wanted to try this, he knew without a doubt that the elder was sure.

"Yeah, baby. What . . . What's our boundaries?"

Taehyung's tongue swept over his bottom lip. "I don't know yet."

Jungkook understood completely. Everything was new territory, unknown and unventured, until they tried it. "We'll go slow then, okay? Do you want to lead me?"

"No. I trust you."

"Okay," Jungkook murmured, keeping his hands where they were as Taehyung's dropped. "You wanna stay in here?"

Taehyung nodded. "I want to see what you're doing to me."

And even though this was a momentous occasion, a huge milestone for Taehyung, Jungkook couldn't help but disperse the seriousness of the room with a laugh. "Oh, how kinky."

Taehyung leaned his head back on Jungkook's shoulder, a smile playing at his lips. "It'd be kinkier if you took your shirt off."

"All you had to do was ask, baby," Jungkook chuckled, quickly removing his shirt before securing a hand around Taehyung's waist. He looked at him through the mirror again. "I'm going to go slow, but if you need to stop, we'll stop. Okay?"

"Yes, Jungkookie."

Jungkook held Taehyung's hip with one hand as the other slowly slid across his stomach. Making his touch feather light, he let his fingers trace all over the elder's skin, trying to commit the feel to memory. Hell, he was trying to commit this whole experience to memory.

He resumed sucking on Taehyung's neck, waiting until a string of moans left the elder's mouth. Then, very purposely, his touch descended downward. His hand came back in contact with Taehyung's dick, which felt hard and thick beneath his palm. Jungkook's mouth was watering at this point and he was positive his own arousal was pressing into the elder's ass.

Though surprisingly, Taehyung didn't complain.

He lightly rubbed over Taehyung's erection, eyes almost bulging as he felt how long he was in addition to being thick. Keeping his ears peeled for any sounds of discomfort, Jungkook squeezed over him before continuing palming the boy.

"How are you doing?" He asked, his voice coming out low and husky. Fuck, he needed to reign himself in. "Is this okay?"

Taehyung nodded, hips slightly thrusting against Jungkook's hand. "Kook . . . You can do more."

Well, if Jungkook wasn't hard before he certainly was now. He edged his fingers underneath the bands of the elder's pajama pants and briefs, tentatively dipping lower and lower. And then his hand came in contact with Taehyung's cock.

As soon as he gripped it directly, Taehyung sucked in a harsh breath. Jungkook went to remove his hand, but Taehyung was faster. He clamped a hand over his wrist.

"Hold on," he said, breathing deeply. "I just need a moment."

Jungkook obeyed, rubbing soothing circles over Taehyung's hip with his free hand while his other remained wrapped around his cock. It was hot and throbbing, the feeling so luxurious within his grip.

"I'm touching you this way because I love you," Jungkook said to him quietly but not without meaning. "Making you feel good makes me feel good. That's all I'm focused on. You."

Taehyung looked at him with adoration in his eyes. He whispered a soft thank you before releasing Jungkook's wrist. But instead of dropping his hands, he brought them to the bands of his clothing.

Then he started tugging down.

"Tae, you don't have to get undressed," Jungkook told him, squeezing his hip.

"My choice, remember? This . . . I want to appreciate my body. I want you to see me." Taehyung nodded at him in the mirror, giving a reassuring smile. "I trust you."

At that, Jungkook gently extricated his hands, allowing Taehyung to get undressed before him. And when the elder was fully bare, everything on display for him to see, Jungkook could only stare in awe.

"I wish I was the artist so I could draw you," he breathed in appreciation, hands yearning to touch and cherish every inch of exposed skin. "Tae . . . You're so beautiful."

Taehyung's cheeks were noticeably red, though he didn't try to cover himself with his hands. "You really think so?"

Jungkook carefully approached him again, stepping close to Taehyung's back but not pressing himself against his ass. Looking at the elder in the mirror, he placed his hands on his shoulders.

"You are without a doubt the most beautiful person I know. And I'm not just saying that about your body. I'm saying that about you. Your heart and mind and soul . . . Just as beautiful as your body. And I want to celebrate that with you, Tae."

"Then come back to me," the elder said lovingly, eyes sparkling in the mirror. "Kook, I'm giving you permission to touch me this way. That's my choice. That's my decision. I want to celebrate that with you, too."

So Jungkook didn't second guess himself when he connected his bare chest with Taehyung's back, his dick pressing against the elder's naked ass. And holy fuck did Taehyung have an immaculate ass. If he were in a different position, his hands would be filled with that plump and firm muscle.

Another time.

🔥

He took hold of Taehyung's cock in his hand, thumb brushing over the sensitive tip and spreading the pre-cum leaking out. Using that as lubricant, he stroked him from base to tip, twisting and squeezing every so often. Taehyung's gaze remained locked on Jungkook, flitting back and forth between his eyes and his hand. Soft moans tumbled out of his mouth the entire time.

"Doing so well, baby," Jungkook whispered in his ear, lips brushing against the shell. "I love you so much. Thank you for sharing this with me."

Taehyung angled his head, leaning forward slightly to kiss Jungkook full on. He hungrily pushed and pulled against his mouth, tangling their tongues together in a sloppy dance. Taehyung reached up to tangle in Jungkook's hair, pulling him deeper into the kiss.

Jungkook quickened the pace of his hand, relishing in the moans pouring against his lips. He absolutely loved that Taehyung was enjoying this so much; he wanted to make this the best experience possible for him.

"Kook," Taehyung moaned, his voice strained with urgency.

"It's okay, baby, you're almost there. Can I . . . Do you want my mouth?"

"I . . . I don't know . . .," Taehyung stuttered, his hips slowing their movement. "I'm not sure . . ."

Jungkook kissed his shoulder reassuringly, absolutely no trace of disappointment rising up within him. "It's okay, we'll save it for another time."

He quickly lifted up his hand, spit in it, then went back to pumping Taehyung's hard length. His other hand protectively held right below the elder's belly button, feeling the subtle clenching of his abdominal muscles.

Taehyung ground his ass back onto Jungkook's crotch, the stimulation causing him to moan loudly. Jungkook was trying so hard not to thrust against him, but that was a difficult feat given how turned on he was.

"Take your pants off, Kook. I want to do this together."

And even if Jungkook had any restraint left, he wasn't sure if he could deny that particular demand. He stepped out of his clothes, cock happily free and springing up.

Taehyung didn't hesitate. He spun around, one arm going around Jungkook's waist while the other went directly to his untouched cock. Jungkook let out a lewd moan when the elder's fingers brushed over the swollen head, hips instantly jutting forward. He assumed the same position, bringing Taehyung close to his body as he continued stroking him.

They both moved forward for a messy kiss, lips sliding all over each other's and teeth clashing with imprecision. All the while, their hands moved faster and faster, moans being traded between the two.

"Fuck, Kook," Taehyung broke away and tucked his head agaisnt Jungkook's neck. His breath was labored as it fanned over his skin.

Jungkook dug his thumb into his slit and that was the end for Taehyung. The elder threw back his head, moaning Jungkook's name and coming into his hand. Jungkook kept up his movements, helping him through his climax. Gradually he slowed, sensing the overstimulation was about to become too much for the elder.

"Such a good job, baby," Jungkook whispered against his head. He didn't even care about himself in this moment, he was just so damn happy Taehyung was able to experience pleasure like this.

"I love you, Kook," Taehyung said to him, words deep and drawn out. "Thank you."

And Jungkook knew that thank you wasn't for the handjob, but for the trust and love it took for Taehyung to enjoy the experience.

"I love you so much, Tae. I'm so happy right now."

"Even with your hard dick still in my hand?" Taehyung laughed, beginning to stroke him again. "Let me take care of you now, love."

"No, Tae, this was about you. I'm okay, I promise," Jungkook assured him, though that didn't slow the movement of Taehyung's hand.

"Kookie, this was about us, okay? This is something I want for both of us."

Taehyung sunk down to the ground and promptly took Jungkook's cock into his mouth, kneading his ass as he bobbed his head up and down.

Jungkook knew he wasn't going to last long, especially as Taehyung started sucking on his tip. A loud whimper left his mouth, which intensified as he felt the elder's fingers trace over his puckered entrance.

"Fuck. Tae."

Taehyung hummed in amusement around him, the vibrations causing Jungkook to thrust forward into his mouth.

"Tae," Jungkook gasped as he felt a finger rub directly on his entrance. Everything felt so good and he was seconds away from reaching his climax. "Tae . . . I'm close. Don't . . . Don't swallow."

But it didn't seem Taehyung quite cared about that. A knuckle was pressed into Jungkook, the surprise of the action causing him to come immediately. Yet Taehyung still didn't pull away - he continued sucking until he took all Jungkook had to give him.

"Fuck, baby," Jungkook laughed in exhaustion, pulling Taehyung up. He was careful not to get his cum-covered hand on the elder's skin. "The whole finger up the ass thing . . . That was hot."

Taehyung grinned at him, wiping the corner of his mouth with his hand. "We'll discuss that more during our future sex talk."

🔥

They quickly cleaned themselves up after that, taking a very chaste shower together. Jungkook's body was begging for rest, and after he was all dried off, Taehyung led him back to bed.

"We're going to take a power nap, okay? Then we're going outside for some artsy boyfriend bonding," Taehyung informed him while wrapping an arm around his waist. "No ifs, ands, or buts about it."

"Okay, Tae," Jungkook replied as he drifted off, barely registering the elder's words. "I'll dream about your butt."

》 V A L E N W R I T I N G 《

To be honest I didn't know where to put that first 🔥 The whole second half of the chapter was steamy . . . But also really sweet??

I also wanted to be very careful about the timing of this scene. As I've talked about with some of you in the comments, it's so unrealistic to just jump into smut when we're working with this topic. I really tried to portray Tae's evolving mindset and willingness to try in the last chapter and beginning of this one. In no way am I saying he's magically "healed" and can do anything intimate now. This was a huge step forward for this character, however, one he felt comfortable making because of his trust in JK and in himself. I think if we look back to the beginning of this story, we can see how far he has come.

So long story short, this felt natural to me given everything. Hopefully you guys got that sense, too.

Also the song I wanted to post for this chapter is not on YouTube 😭 I'll put it in the Spotify Playlist I created, but it's called Skin on Skin by Eliszabeth. It took me longer than it should have (like 3 hours lol) to find a replacement song haha.
