"Taehyung."

The boy shivered subconsciously as he felt a warm breath linger near his ear, the voice held warmth, it never failed to make his heart jolt even so early in the morning.

He opened his eyes slowly, smiling lazily up at the man hovering over him, feeling like a prey caught between his arms like this.

If being a prey meant he'd be trapped under Jungkook's arms, it didn't sound bad.

It didn't sound bad at all.

His arms felt like seatbelt as the male looped one arm around his waist, moving to lay on his side as he smoothly pulled the smaller boy to his chest.

"You awake?" The latter softly mumbled, his heart melting at the sight of Taehyung's fluffy brunette bed hair sprawled out against his chest, he leaned down to softly peck the top of his head, catching a whiff of his strawberry scented shampoo.

Jungkook felt vexed as the other looked up at him with round, wide eyes nodding sleepily in response. He couldn't help but place a soft kiss on the tip of his nose, biting his cheek as if he could just eat him whole.

"Ow." Taehyung whines playfully, rubbing his slightly reddened cheek, pouting silently as he felt the older's chest vibrate with laughter.

"Y'know, I could just eat you if I wanted. Jungkook teased, the other raised an eyebrow at him as the other craned his neck lower to press their foreheads against each other.

"You wouldn't."

Taehyung whispered, the proximity of their lips were now dangerously close, and the boy felt his eyes unable to move away from the pinkish set of temptation right in front of him, he didn't dare to meet the other's eyes.

Jungkook leaned away from him knowing well how to tease him, pressing his pointer finger under the other's chin, he tilted the boy's head upward to he correct his gaze.

"Hm? My eyes are up here."

Inwardly cackling at how flustered the other looked, the older slowly trailed his finger down the side of his slender neck, his eyes following his trail as he selfishly savoured all of what he saw, wanting to make his mark on the exposed skin, to turn the sun-kissed tone into purple and pink.

Taehyung could feel a burning heat pool at his lower abdomen, his words caught up in his throat. Things he wanted to say, all rendered useless under the grasp of his fingers.

"It's rude to ignore me, no?" Jungkook's fingers now trailed to the back of his neck, his tone still teasing, he could feel the other slightly shudder under his touch, only making him want to bully him more.

Just a simple touch. And he would react like this?

"Do I need to make you speak?"

Taehyung blinked, his legs squeezing together as the heat he felt earlier only intensified at the other's loose mocking tone.

Jungkook chuckled, retracting his fingers from the back of his nape, he trailed them to the side, picking a spot he traced a circle on the soft skin, hearing the other's breathing quicken, he applied a bit of pressure there.

Taehyung grasped his wrist his eyes silently pleading for the other, he didn't know what he was pleading for, yet he still said nothing, the other stared at him, adoring the way his cheeks were tainted pink. All to his doing.

Because of me.

"Still, you don't speak."

Jungkook stared at the spot he had previously traced with his fingers, leaning down until his lips hovered above the area. He let out a breath, placing his lips against the skin, it felt like all the ties he had held himself back with, all such restraint, starting to break.

He suckled on his skin, his teeth repeatedly grazing over the spot as his tongue ran over the now wet patch of a skin, he felt the grip on his wrist tighten.

Taehyung arched his head back, his mind seemingly deluded in pleasure, it felt as if he knew nothing else but this feeling.

"A-Ah Jungkook-"

This feeling of Jungkook pressed against him had him at the edge of insanity, warmth now turning into a blazing heat, the slight graze of the other's teeth was solid, and sharp, adding to the haze of pleasure he found himself trapped in.

The other pulled away from a moment, panting a little as he observed his work, smiling proudly as he watched the tan skin now bloom with deep colour.

Jungkook placed one last kiss against it, he pinched the boy's cheek who stared at him silently, not trusting the words that would come out his mouth at this moment.

"Well, it made you say something."

-

Taehyung couldn't think straight, his mind still firmly planted in the previous high he had experienced. He sat in Jungkook's bed, hearing the shower run, the older left out clothes for him to wear as he had none of his own.

The boy wore his bigger shirt, throwing on his jeans from last night as Jungkook's jeans would just slide down his waist.

The bathroom door opened, and the boy walked out with a towel hanging rather low on his hips, his torso was built and defined as Taehyung had once saw and his hair was damp, some of the water trickling down his neck still, Jungkook wiped at his head and nape, his eyes twinkling as he looked at the other wearing his shirt.

"Ready for school? We'll ask around for your keys."

"Mhm." Taehyung replied absentmindedly, his gaze stupidly glued to the other as if he were seeing a God descend.

The two boys left in a slight rush, parking his car, Jungkook got out of the driver's seat, walking to the passenger's side he opened the door for Taehyung, he tried to bite back a laugh at the boy who seemed to be still unaware of the giant blotch of purple on his neck.

"Did you not see what was on your neck?"

"Hm? My neck-" Taehyung paused, realising what the other implied, he felt heat rush to his cheeks, he checked the area through the car mirror, his mouth agape in exasperation.

"Jungkook!"

The other held up his hands defensively, feigning innocence.

"I only meant to make you speak."

As much as the latter was embarrassed, he also felt fascinated by the marking on his neck, he secretly didn't want to cover it up, he wish he didn't have to, loving the way it tainted his skin.

If his skin was tainted in this way, it wouldn't hurt, it was out of love, his place of warmth and safety, it felt like a reminder that he belonged somewhere.

He felt warm fabric wrap around his neck, seeing through the mirror it was Jungkook, wrapping a scarf securely around his neck.

"It's mid-summer but eh fuck it, just tell them you were feeling cold." The other told him, pecking the lobe of his ear, he felt how warm the younger was.

"I- What do I do with you?" Taehyung muttered, shaking his head as the other pulled at his arm, leading them to school.

"You keep me, that's what." The latter replied, tightening his grip on the boy's hand.

Love felt too good to be true.

Taehyung wished that this euphoria that was brought by love, would last long, for once in his life he wished something for himself.

Let me keep him. Please.
