DECEMBER 27TH — AFTER CHRISTMAS

Taehyung view

It was just after christmas which was nicely spent and celebrated actually in the mafia household. Taehyung did feel a bit down when he had to lie to his mom about not being able to celebrate with her but believe it or not ;

The mansion now felt like his home.

It was 1 am and Taehyung had fallen asleep two hours ago. His mind was at peace until the dark faded and the night demons arrived.

He shuffled around, forehead already coated in sweat affecting his hair too. His brows furrowed and he let out a pained whimper, lips going dry.

His arms thrashed around violently and broken gasps left his mouth.

He wanted to leave this confinement he was trapped in but it was like his mind was being held by chains and he couldnt escape, like his eyes were screwed shut with nails, like his mouth had no tongue to call out for anyone.

There in front of him was stood a silhoeutte of a man, he was dark and taehyung saw him reach for something.

His gun. Taehyung was so afraid as he just stood there, tied to the tree. He cried and cried hoping jeongguk would come and save him but no one was coming.

Then the man raised his arm, shooting taehyung. No, it wasnt just under his chest this time. The bullet had pierced through his fleshy heart.

And he didnt survive this time. He dropped to the floor dead.

That was when he woke up with a big gasp and wail.

The screws were undone and his eyes shot open, the tongue had grown back and he was coughing continuously, but most importantly the chains went loose and freed his mind.

Taehyung sat up quickly, chest heaving up and down. That was his first ever nightmare.

Tears streamed down his cheeks as he replayed the scene all over again. He recalled wanting jeongguk to save him.

He just wanted jeongguk. Wanted his comfort and company.

He manouvered out of bed, feet pattering on the carpet as he made his way to jeongguks room. Despite his situation taehyung still looked somewhat pretty and cute; his hair was messy but in the most adorable way and his big oversized t-shirt cuddled his body, not to mention how he was holding his teddy tightly.

He sniffled as he opened jeongguks door, eyes roaming the room.

He forgot jeongguk was on a night mission today. He whimpered, eyes tearing up again but he climbed onto the bed, slipping underneath the duvet.

He clutched one of jeongguks pillows tightly, nose subconciously sniffing the natural scent.

Though the familiar smell seemed to calm him down a little and the boys mind suddenly drifted off to thinking about jeongguk buying him jellybeans at the shopping mall.

Jeongguk view

Jeongguk sighed as he walked in at 3 am in the morning. He shrugged off his cap, throwing it on the counter and he kicked off his black boots.

Safe to say the mission had tired him out completely as he was in need of a long shower.

But it was 3 am so the idea of a shower flew out of the window.

He ran a hand through his hair as he went upstairs. he passed by taehyungs room, eyes staring at his door for a moment.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought to check up on him.

Little did he know the boy was actually in his own bed.

The surprise came to jeongguk when he opened the door, brows furrowing when he saw taehyung comfortably asleep.

He stood there shocked, staring at the boy. What is he doing here??

Firstly he decided to wash up for bed. He came out of his bathroom, stripped off his shirt and changed into sweatpants. He walked to his bed, sitting down at the edge near taehyung.

Before he could even wake the other up he immediately halted. His eyes widened and froze on one place.

Because taehyung had been moving around too much, the duvet was thrown to the side and his t-shirt had scrunched up at his waist.

And jeongguks eyes were solely focused on the boys cute baby belly, admiring his soft tan skin. He was aching to caress it.

But then his eyes travelled lower down the boys body, under his bellybutton. He was looking at where taehyungs joggers had slipped down a little and saw his baby blue boxers peeking out.

Jeongguk was thinking about what was underneath.

He didnt know taehyung had such a defined and beautiful figure; slim waist, tummy, wide-ish hips and cute (big) tushy.

He gulped, feeling his member twitch a little and that was (surprisingly) enough to snap him out of his naughty thoughts.

He sighed, not wanting to disturb taehyung of his peaceful sleep so he slowly got in the bed himself and covered taehyung with the duvet again so he wouldnt get distracted from.... You know.

Jeongguk kept a little distance between them despite his big bed.

But that distance disappeared along with jeongguks sanity because taehyung turned to his side to face the older.

"jeonggu..." he murmued sleepily as he shuffled closer to jeongguk, noticing the sudden warmth. His hands came to rest on jeongguks chest in cute little fists.

Jeongguk didnt know if he was breathing or not. He didnt know if he should die from happiness or cuteness. Taehyung really was the only thing making him excited for his days, the only reason he wanted  to carry on with his days.

So with that, he gently slipped his arm around taehyungs waist as it settled on his soft skin, pulling the boy closer to him so their legs were entangled.

He closed his eyes and that was the first time he had fallen asleep with a smile on his face.

Two o'clock in the afternoon they had woken up.

They couldnt help but sleep in, loving the comfort and warmth each of them provided.

Jeongguk was the first to wake up, eyes opening slowly. They settled on taehyung who was snuggled right up to him and he even laughed faintly, finding the situation so....weird because he just wasnt used to it.

Without him having to wait, taehyung also woke up and the first thing he saw was a  tattooed chest right in front of him causing his cheeks to turn red.

Taehyung looked up, eyes big and timid. "good morning." he said ever so shyly.

"and to you too." jeongguk smiled. "wanna tell me why i found you sleeping here last night?" he softly uttered, raising a brow.

Taehyung bit his lip nervously, looking down briefly before he looked back up. "i-i had a nightmare." he mumbled sadly.

"do you want to tell me what it was about?" jeongguk asked carefully, thumb subconciously rubbing circles on Taehyungs waist.

Taehyung took a deep breath. "about me— getting s-shot."

"it still scares you?" jeongguk frowned in worry.

"i-in the dream i-i died jeongguk." Taehyung whimpered, eyes teary as he pressed his forehead against jeongguks chest. "it was s-scary." he mumbled.

"im sorry taehyung." jeongguk sighed, hand going to caress the boys hair. Taehyung just sniffled.

"and you didnt have any nightmares when you came to sleep here?" jeongguk asked him.

Taehyung shook his head. "uhm y-you're scent calmed me." he admitted shyly.

Jeongguk smiled. "is that so?" he raised a teasing brow. Taehyung whined, pulling his head away from jeongguks body as he looked away.

"im just messing with you taehyung. You can sleep here if you feel scared at night." jeongguk said to him seriously.

Taehyung blushed from the sudden kindness, nodding his head.

"you must be hungry, its two o' clock." jeongguk said.

"can we eat pancakes?!" taehyung exclaimed, now excited to eat food.

Jeongguk chuckled. "i'll go tell seokjin."

Taehyung then shook his head and jeongguk frowned.

"you make them." taehyung smiled and stated.

"seokjins are better taehyung." jeongguk tried to protest.

"please?" taehyung pouted using his puppy eyes.

When taehyung was hospitalized, jeongguk had made him his own pancakes and taehyung fell in love with the taste.

"fine." jeongguk sighed, playfully rolling his eyes and taehyung giggled.
