"stop!!! don't take another step!!" taehyung shouted, running up and trying to close the bedroom door.

"babe i need pants." jeongguk chuckled, holding the door open with one hand easily while taehyung was using his whole weight to try and close it.

"i'm wrapping your presents! you can't see!" he whined.

"i'll look away i promise." he said.

"nope! stay out there. i'll get them for you." taehyung said, walking over to jeongguk's closet and grabbing some sweatpants off the hanger. he went back to the door, opening it slightly and handing them to him.

"thank you baby. my mom is forcing us to shovel the driveway since she could barely get out this morning." he said.

"okay, i'll be out in a few minutes!" he said, closing the door and running back over to jeongguk's bed. he finished wrapping his last two presents.

earlier that day they had left the house since it was done snowing and went to the store. taehyung bought all of his friends and family presents and was now wrapping them.

he had gotten jeongguk and him matching couples bracelets, as well as another vinyl to add to his collection and finally, some makeup. he didn't know if jeongguk would like it but he's been planning on teaching him how to do makeup.

he had also gotten some new cooking utensils as well as a romantic drama book for jin, since he knew his brother was a dramatic person who loved reading romance novels.

for jimin, he purchased candy and some new clothes for him. he wasn't really sure what to get jimin, because he didn't really have a favorite interest. his interests were all over the place.

he bought fluffy socks and snacks for yoongi, as well as a neck pillow because he knew the boy loved to sleep.

and for hoseok, he bought him sunglasses and some necklaces/accessories to go with his cool fashion style.

once he finished wrapping, he organized them all neatly and put everyone's names on them before leaving jeongguk's room.

he went downstairs and saw jeongguk sitting on the couch watching the tv, so he walked over and climbed onto his lap.

"hi baby, did you finish wrapping?" jeongguk asked, wrapping his arms around taehyung's waist.

"mhm! all done!" he exclaimed, smiling.

"good, i missed you." jeongguk said, smiling as well as he pulled taehyung in for a kiss.

the younger blushed, cupping jeongguk's face in his hands and kissing him back shyly.

"enough smooches you two, get your coats and gloves on and go shovel!" jeongguk's mom shouted.

jeongguk groaned, resting his head on taehyung's shoulder.

"come on ggukie, let's go!" taehyung said, getting up and pulling jeongguk along.

they dressed into thick coats and gloves, as well as their snow boots.

as they stepped outside, taehyung immediately shivered and clung to jeongguk, snuggling into his side.

"ggukie, s'cold!" he whined.

"i know baby, it'll get warmer once we start moving." he said, rubbing his back and kissing his pink nose.

they grabbed the shovels and started shovelling the driveway, taehyung whimpering and shivering the whole time.

his hands were cold and hurting, as well as his arms because he had to lift pounds of snow and throw it into the yard.

once they were finished he immediately ran inside, jeongguk following him.

taehyung gasped as he felt the warmth wash over his body, causing him to sigh. he took off all of his winter materials and waited for jeongguk.

"i made you hot cocoa!" jeongguk's mother said, handing them a glass.

"thank you so much!" taehyung said, grabbing jeongguk's hand and pulling him over to the couch.

jeongguk retrieved a blanket and wrapped it around them both, pulling taehyung close into his arms.

taehyung sighed contently, nuzzling his face into jeongguk's neck. "so warm." he murmured.

the older took a sip of his hot cocoa, smiling and rubbing taehyung's back. "later tonight do you want me to take you home?" he asked softly, setting his cocoa down on a coaster.

taehyung pouted, sitting up and looking at jeongguk. "m-maybe, i don't wanna leave you though." he frowned.

"it's okay honey, we can still hang out through the week. besides, we have christmas celebrations together and you can always call me during the day." he said.

"yeah, you're right." taehyung said, a soft smile replacing his frown.

jeongguk smiled, leaning in and sealing their lips in a soft kiss.

"jinnie!!" taehyung squealed, forgetting about honorifics as he entered his home, seeing his brother standing in the kitchen while namjoon was sitting at the counter.

"tae!!" he said, just as excited as he opened his arms.

taehyung jumped into them, hugging his brother tight. "i missed you so much!" he said.

"i missed you more, you fluffball." jin said, ruffling his hair with a wide smile.

taehyung grinned, closing his eyes and snuggling into his brothers sweater.

jeongguk was standing by the door, smiling as he watched the two brothers interact.

"hey, jeongguk. how are you?" namjoon asked, looking up from the book he was reading.

"i'm great, thanks for asking. you?"

"i'm doing pretty great too." he said, smiling as he glanced over at jin.

taehyung gasped, turning around and frowning as he stared at jeongguk.

"what's wrong baby?" he asked, concern washing over his face as he saw taehyung's frown.

taehyung ran forward, engulfing jeongguk in a tight hug.

"i don't want you to go." he whimpered, burying his face in his neck.

jeongguk cooed, rubbing his back. "muffin, i'll be back tomorrow to come check on you. it'll be okay." he said softly.

taehyung sniffled, pulling back from the hug and looking up at his boyfriend. "are you sure?" he asked, pouting.

"yes, i'm sure muffin." he said, leaning in and kissing him sweetly.

they hugged a bit more before jeongguk let go, kissing him one last time. he waved to jin and namjoon, walking out the door and heading to his car.

taehyung sighed, closing the door.

"i have a bit of an early christmas present for you." jin said with a smile.

taehyung looked up curiously. "what is it?" he asked.

"follow me." he said, leading him upstairs to jin's bedroom.

he opened the door, and immediately taehyung gasped.

"oh my gosh!!" he squealed, seeing a fluffy puppy sitting on jin's bed.

the puppy immediately got excited when he saw taehyung, his tail wagging as he jumped off the bed and ran up to the boy.

"aw!! he's so cute!!" he said, lifting the fluff into his arms and giggling as he licked him all over his face.

jin smiled, watching them interact.

"hyungie this is the best present ever! thank you so much!" he said, hugging jin tightly.

"you're welcome, tae. what would you like to name him?" he asked, keeping his arm around taehyung.

the boy looked down at the pup with wide eyes, smiling brightly.

"yeontan!"
