[𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐱]

the soft glow of the tv illuminated the cozy living room, casting flickering shadows across the walls as taehyung and jungkook settled onto the couch, snuggled up together under a warm blanket, clad in some pyjamas that jungkook had provided.

the movie, harry potter and the chamber of secrets, played on the screen, but their attention was more on each other than the plot unfolding before them.

as the movie progressed, the younger shifted closer to the artist, his movements slow and deliberate. with a contented sigh, he leaned against the artist's side, resting his head on the older man's shoulder as he wrapped his arms around him.

taehung couldn't suppress the smile that tugged at his lips as he felt jungkook's warmth enveloping him. he shifted slightly, adjusting himself to accommodate jungkook's embrace, feeling the younger man's steady heartbeat against his own chest.

and as they continued to watch the movie together, taehyung couldn't help but feel grateful for this simple moment of intimacy shared between them, a quiet reminder of the deep bond that had formed between them within the ahort span of time they've known eachother.

the warm crackle of the fireplace added to the ambiance, also filling the room with a comforting warmthj.

sighing softly, the artist wrapped his arm around jungkook's waist, and his fingers brushed lightly against jungkook's side, eliciting a small jump from the younger man.

sensing an opportunity for mischief, taehyung couldn't resist teasing the boy further, his fingers dancing along the sensitive skin of jungkook's ribs.

"hey!" the brunette protested, squirming away from the older man's touch with a playful giggle. "stop it!"

"oh? is someone ticklish?" the older man only grinned mischievously, his fingers continuing their relentless assault as he launched into a full-blown tickle attack.

jungkook squealed with laughter, trying to fend off the artist's tickling fingers as he wriggled and squirmed on the couch. "taehyung, no!" he gasped between fits of laughter, his cheeks flushed with both embarrassment and amusement. "hey!"

but taehyung was relentless, his fingers finding all of jungkook's most ticklish spots as he delighted in the sound of the pretty boy's infectious laughter filling the room. eventually, the brunette managed to catch taehyung's hands, turning the tables on him as he retaliated with his own tickle attack.

thier laughter echoed throughout the apartment, blending with the crackling of the fire and the sound of rain tapping against the windows.

in that moment, surrounded by warmth and laughter, taehyung and jungkook felt as though nothing else in the world mattered. it was just the two of them, lost in the simple joy of each other's company.

the tickle fight slowly ended, leaving the two men breathless and grinning at each other. there was a charged silence between them, the air thick with anticipation as they caught their breaths.

jungkook's heart pounded in his chest as he looked into the artist's soft eyes, his breath catching in his throat. he felt a surge of courage wash over him, and before he could overthink it, he leaned in, closing the distance between them for the first time, gently pressing his lips to the older man's.

their lips met in a soft, tentative kiss, but when taehyung tilted his head to the right and kissed him harder nearly immediately, it deepened, tongues brushing against each other. taehyung tasted like the coffee they'd shared earlier, mixed with something uniquely him that it drove jungkook insane.

jungkook's head spun with the sensation, a low moan escaping his lips as his hands lifted to rest atop the man's shoulders.

taehyung responded eagerly, deepening the kiss as his hands found their way to jungkook's waist, pulling him closer. the warmth of the older's mouth against his sent a shiver down jungkook's spine, his entire being consumed by the sensation.

their tongues danced together, a silent conversation of desire and longing. jungkook felt like he was floating, lost in the intoxicating embrace of the artist's soft kiss.

taehyung pulled away after a few minutes, with a soft smack of lips, gently lifting his hand to wipe away the string of salvia from jungkook's shiny pout.

they were both breathless, their foreheads resting against each other as they savored the moment. the room felt charged with electricity, the crackle of the fire and the soft glow of the tv fading into the background.

"wow," jungkook breathed, his voice barely above a whisper as they both let out a soft giggle at what they'd done.

taehyung chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with affection as his hands cradled the boy's face. "yeah, wow."

they sat in comfortable silence for a moment, the weight of their newfound intimacy settling between them like a warm blanket. jungkook couldn't stop smiling, his heart overflowing with happiness.

as they snuggled closer on the couch, the rest of the world faded away, leaving only the two of them wrapped up in each other's arms.

it was a moment jungkook would treasure forever, the beginning of something beautiful and new.

it was then that jungkook found out that he really liked kissing taehyung.

"i'm a cover hogger." jungkook warned, sat against the headboard of his queen-sized bed, watching the artist as he came out of the bathroom, having just brushed his teeth and showered, his hair damp and skin glowing. "so just a heads up-"

"well if you steal the cover away, i'll just cuddle you for compensation." taehyung smiled, tilting his head suggestively as he crawled forward onto the bed, getting comfortable beside the younger man. he lay under the bedsheets, pulling jungkook's form closer to himself. "though, i'm not complaining, jungkook-ah~"

jungkook felt heat rise to his cheeks and he grinned, snuggling himself back in the artist's embrace. he had always slept better in someone's arms, safe and warm- away from the outside world. for a while, it was yugyeom's, and sometimes even jimin or hoseok's.

but now he had taehyung.

he tangled his legs with the older man's, for the first time, and felt a sudden rush of happiness taking over him as he let out a sudden giddy giggle into the duvet covers when he felt the artist's bod flsuh against his back. taehyung chuckled, the sound a low rumble into the night, pulling him closer by the waist, nosing along the back of jungkook's head and inhaling the sweet scent of freshly washed hair. "you're so cute, jungkook-ah. completely and utterly adorable."
