"I'm sorry." Jimin mumbles, moving his hands away from Jungkook's middle, feeling like he's overstepped an invisible line he shouldn't of crossed. Jungkook pulls him closer again, gripping his face without warning and turning it up for eye contact. They don't move for what feels like minutes, not until Jungkook breaks the silence with a question that Jimin isn't expecting to receive.

"Do you want me to make love to you?" Jungkook breathes. He watches relief relax Jimin's shoulders and the boy sways forward against him again. He couldn't put it into words how amazing it feels to read the others emotions without much of an effort. For a while it was feeling like a chore, deciphering hidden meanings behind every word that Jimin would say. His lungs are full of fresh air without the fear of being left behind consuming him. Jimin's eyes say everything that he needs to know.

Jimin bites his tongue. He sucks in air through his teeth, whistling before a nervous giggle makes him feel like he's polluting the atmosphere with his awkward responses. "I- uh. Yes."

Caution. Jungkook smiles gently. His hands aren't implying seduction, but rather promoting comfort. He's trying to be comforting as he moves away to take Jimin by the hand. Jungkook leads them out of the tiny bathroom. It's cooler outside of the confinement of the small space and the smaller immediately shivers.

He's taken up into arms that warm him, hands that won't allow him to shake. Jimin doesn't want to seem too weak to participate in what he can tell Jungkook is anticipating, too. The anchor of self hatred lifts slightly off of his chest, giving him freedom to breathe again. Jimin smiles so brightly, he's almost afraid that it will scare Jungkook away from the idea of making love, but it doesn't. Instead, Jungkook smiles back just as dazzlingly bright and begins to back him gently towards the edge of the bed in the center of the room. Jimin is guided down onto the sheets and then, the taller is hovering, barely touching his bared skin as Jungkook holds his weight up entirely by the brace of his hands on either side of Jimin's head. Jimin's breath quivers.

Jungkook chuckles softly, the sound thick with lust. "Mochi, just let me take care of you again." He exhales his words with a bit of pleading in his tone.

Jimin hooks his fingers around the back of his boyfriends neck, nodding quickly to agree. He doesn't need convincing, but his heart skips a beat over the practice of it anyway. His thoughts drift back and forth between what Jungkook might be thinking about how eager he must look for sexual contact, and how gorgeous Jungkook looks above him with his messy damp hair and his glistening bare chest. Jimin's fingers lift to chase fleeing droplets of water, tracing invisible trails along the muscles that hover. Jungkook is breathing heavier than normal. Jimin leans up to catch the man's lips again in a hungry kiss, dragging one hand through darkened wet locks and bringing the weight of Jungkook's body against him.

The taller caves into the sensation of Jimin's kiss. He relaxes into the smallers arms, internally bashing his own self control. Jimin is a terrible listener, but right now it doesn't matter as much as he thought it might. If this makes Jimin happy, if he can taste freedom from pain between the full lips against his own, what use is there in taking it slower? Rushing into emotions is all that they've been good at lately anyway. Jungkook finds Jimin's thigh, winding his long fingers around as much as he can hold onto. He brings it up onto his own hip. His grip isn't hard, but it's firm enough to draw a whimper from Jimin's muffled lips. Jungkook pulls away, afraid of getting carried away already.

There are tears in Jimin's eyes. Jungkook can see them, but he doesn't ask why they are there. If he did, Jimin wouldn't be able to answer.

Jungkook leans his head down again to press his forehead against Jimin's and he breathes. He knows why tears are showing, the ones he swipes away with a gentle thumb. They aren't just tears, they are the truth behind the mask unraveling into their finale. Jimin is showing every bit of his vulnerability today and his heart is still so afraid of rejection, but it won't be scared for much longer. Jungkook smiles. "Do you want to feel how much I love you?"

Jimin sniffles, groping Jungkook's forearm. "Yeah." He whispers almost in a whine. His voice sounds weak, but Jungkook's understanding of his tears just made him stronger. He can feel the beat of his heart hammering against his rib cage. Jimin smiles back, glazed eyes brimming with determination again. "Show me."

A/N: The next couple of chapters should be more bright and happy~ The very next one though, heh~ ^^ I think it's obvious what these two will be up to.

I want to ask you guys how you might feel about incorporating chapters about the others when they aren't with our jikook couple. As in; NamJin developments and vhope and Yoongi of course. Would that be something you'd like, or should I keep the chapters purely centered around jikook? Let me know, okay? I've truthfully just been curious about if you'd like that or not. I'm happy with either decision 😊

As always, I love you guys soooo much! ❤️ be well, my loves!
