Take Me to the Sky✔️

Chapter - 54

There, I had said it.

Yoongi had been torturing himself for days, weeks, whether he should ask the question. He wanted to have more than just friendship with Jungkook, but for that, he needed to make sure that the boy was still interested in him in that regard. He had imagined different situations and ways of dealing with the subject, but none of them convinced him. His brother always told him that spontaneity was his strong suit, no matter how much he thought things over beforehand.

Jungkook lifted his head from the pillow and connected his gaze with Yoongi's. The question clearly surprised the boy, but beyond that, Yoongi didn't know what to make of his reaction. His gem seemed to have a rhythm of its own, emitting beats that Yoongi could feel like his own. And maybe it was his racing heart, eagerly awaiting an answer, or maybe it reflected Jungkook's, own heart. He didn't know or have the patience to find out.

"It's okay if you've changed your mind." He hastened to add at Jungkook's silence. "It was me who didn't want any of this at first, and it's been a long time since that day, so I understand if you've lost interest and ..."

"I would never do something like that." Jungkook cut him off sharply.

"W-what?" He had spoken so fast that he didn't even know what the boy was referring to.

"I would never lose interest in you, Yoongi Hyung." He had to swallow hard at the intense glare Jungkook gave him. He felt unable to look away from his eyes, as if they had hypnotized him. "It's the opposite."

Yoongi continued to marvel at the ease with which Jungkook went from being an adorable and innocent boy to a confident boy who seemed to stop at nothing to achieve his goal.

"Oh," Yoongi said very eloquently. "For real?"

Jungkook rolled his eyes. "Really, Hyung." And after that, the boy pulled him closer to him. "I've had to restrain myself from doing all the things that have crossed my mind. Before I needed you to agree, and I didn't know how to ask you without you ending up walking away." The boy explained without taking his eyes off his eyes, making him see that he was serious.

Yoongi swallowed again and took a deep breath. He knew what Jungkook was referring to; he had had those thoughts too. His heart was racing at the idea of ​​being able to take a step further in his relationship with Jungkook, of having a genuine relationship with Jungkook.

"And what were those thoughts you had to suppress?" He dared to ask.

He knew where the shots were going, but he wanted to hear it from Jungkook's lips. He wanted to make sure that all this that was happening was real and not a figment of his imagination.

"If I told you all of them, you'd end up running away, so I'll just tell you that the most innocent thing I've ever wanted to do is kiss you."

He didn't know how, but the two had got so close that their breaths mingled, and Yoongi would have been able to count every one eyelash that framed the stars caught in Jungkook's eyes. The tension was palpable, and it only took a signal, a confirmation, from Yoongi, for the two of them to unleash their emotions.

"You have my permission," Yoongi said in a whisper. "You can kiss me, Kookie."

As soon as they finished, the two looked into each other's eyes for a moment before approaching. Jungkook's lips brushed against Yoongi's in a soft, slow, experimental caress. Yoongi closed his eyes and let himself be carried away by the sensation, reciprocating the kiss in the same way, without haste. Yoongi's lips were thicker than Jungkook's, something the boy took to his advantage to run his tongue over them before taking a small bite. Yoongi didn't care the least that the boy was more concerned with playing with his lips than deepening the kiss; he liked the attention he was receiving and the pleasant sensation it left in its wake, small electric shocks that spread throughout his body and left his hair standing on end.

Taking advantage of how focused Jungkook was, Yoongi moved the hand he had on the boy's side in slow movements. At first, they were nothing more than innocent movements, touching and exploring a part of Jungkook that until now was forbidden. But then his caresses were transformed into something less innocent, more insistent. Yoongi's fingers kneaded the meat that was within reach, even if it was covered by a cloth, enjoying the effect it had on the young man, who each time kissed and nibbled him more desperately as if it were the last time he was going to.

And then Yoongi opened his mouth to let his tongue join Jungkook's as well, who gave a surprised gasp. Yoongi did not miss the opportunity and kissed Jungkook more deeply, exploring every part of his mouth and repeating the boy's actions. They were both lost in the kiss, savouring the moans that each emitted when one of them did something in particular that the other found pleasurable. As with the hugs they shared, the two of them were trying to figure out what the other liked best, guided by the sounds that escaped their lips and the tension in their muscles when they did something that drove the other crazy.

After what seemed like an eternity, the two of them parted and took a breath, trying to catch their breath. Then, Jungkook continued to kiss Yoongi on the neck, alternating between nibbles and strokes of his tongue going up to the back of his ear and down to the base of his neck. Yoongi couldn't suppress the strangled groan that escaped his lips, his hand clutching Jungkook's hair.

They were both out of breath and couldn't seem to stop. It was too addictive, like honey for a bear, and neither of them seemed satisfied. There was so brief space between them they could already feel the effects of his actions on their bodies, both with their limbs semi-erect and ready to go further. But despite wanting to reach the end, they both knew it was still too early; they had to talk things over before taking the next step; they had to make sure they were both on the same page.

With a certain reluctance and resignation, the two diminished the passion with which they kissed and caressed, thus returning to a more innocent and controlled terrain, but no less interesting for that. After a while, the two were limited to sharing caresses and displays of affection; Their lips were too swollen and sensitive to continue their previous activities.

"Thank you, Hyung. For giving me a chance." Jungkook said after a while when his eyes were about to give in to sleep.

"Thank you, Kookie, for being so patient."

He wasn't sure if the boy had heard him, his eyes were closed and his breathing was regular and calm, but he didn't care. He was sure that his feelings showed not only through his gem, but through his actions, and he knew that Jungkook was a very observant boy.

"Sleep well, Kookie," Yoongi said after placing a kiss on Jungkook's forehead.

Then he snuggled closer against him, allowing the heat that emanated from his body and from their gems, which, after a long time, were finally in sync to envelop him.
