❄️ CONTAINs SOME STORY LINE SPOILERS FOR DILUC !!! I WARNED YOU❄️
Not proof read 📖
Entering the tavern, very much beat up and exhausted, Jungkook headed straight for the front seats at the bar as he motioned for the bartender to get him a drink. At this point he didn't even care what it was; just something to get his mind off the growing headache and bruised side
"Well, well.." a very much irritably familiar voiced echoed around Jungkook like a boomerang that just kept hitting and hitting, somehow worsening the pulsating migraine he developed
"What do you want taehyung?"
"Oh nothing much.. just came to check up on today's bartender but turns out he wasn't checked into work today" Taehyung tapped his chin as he continued the act
"Maybe he had to do some pretty serious job or something. Surely the knights of favonius would have gave a permit" swinging his body around to sit in the chair beside Jungkook, sliding his knee in between his legs as the stools where too closely placed
"Well you see, the knights of favonius aren't capable enough to go through with the job and unfortunately this had to be done asap" Jungkook played along lazily, not having the energy or the time for this because in his words "time goes by inevitably. You cannot waste it on such pesky activities" and drinking dandelion wine alone, in peace with the fire on seemed like a much more enjoyable activity than having to here a satire lecture from a person who has the ability to press on every single nerve in your body and get away with it
"Still, the person must have got hurt. What if they need aid?"
"I'm sure that person is fine"
"But what what if they're not?"
"They are"
"But what if not?"
"They. Are"
"But what if-" being cut off by a low angry growl, Jungkook tapped taehyungs side to motion him to follow. Standing up from the stool with a subtle and very well hidden grimace, Jungkook walked upstairs into one of the doors that would usually be shut to other customers. But then again he wasn't a customer, he was the owner
"Did the grand master send you or something? Why are you interrogating me al of a sudden?" Jungkook questioned, being partially annoyed but mostly curious and confused by the mixed emotions that he read on taehyungs face
"He did not. You need to stop playing Batman. Being the 'darknight hero' is cool and all but you have no back up and you could get really hurt. Or even worse..die" Taehyung voiced changed drastically from the one a few seconds ago at the bar. Before it was filled with sarcasm and satire but now it was more genuine and somewhat.. caring?
"I'm not playing Batman. There has been an increase of attacks around the city and some are even getting inside the walls. I'm unfortunately hated by the spiral abyss so I'm the taeget. All I'm doing is taking responsibility"
"But you could ask for backup?"
"From the knights? Tell em you're joking.." Jungkook scoffed looking away with a flinch as his hand flew to his side unintentionally
"Let me see" Taehyung voiced out as he moved a little closer, carefully lifting jungkooks shirt
"No healing aid, eh? Where you planning to die on me?" Taehyung scoffed, trying to hide his concern as much as he could. After all, he was confused about how Jungkook felt towards him. Some days he felt like they were closer than ever;looking at stars in the sky and listening to my is. And other times he feels so distant from the younger, as if they were an island and it began splitting. It was always up and down with no concrete answer
"I'll bring you some ice and you stay here. I'll also call Barbara to heal you" Taehyung smiled, looking as composed as he ever was. I suppose that's his charm
Walking out of the door, his face fell;eyes gloomy and stingy as he felt them water
Keep it in, keep it in, keep it in trying to force himself to not cry made home want to cry even more, spilling a few tears here and there. Eyes going puffy and red as if he was crying for hours but really he's just bottling it all up like his other problems. Coping mechanism innit 💀
Grabbing some ice in a clean kitchen towel, Taehyung asked a guard at the door to send someone to get Barbara
"Here you go put these on your bruises or whatever" Taehyung passed the ice, looking away, avoideding any glances at Jungkook as if he was a walking plague
"Have you been crying? Or are you just tired? But you never do anything anyways" Jungkook wondered out loud making Taehyung flustered
"Shut up, of course I wasn't crying. Why would I cry?"
"I don't know that's why I'm asking"
"You didn't ask me why I was crying, you asked IF I was crying" trying to outsmart Jungkook, Taehyung fell into his own trap
"So you're not denying that you've been crying?"
"...no comment" looking away again he could feel his facial muscles giving up as his smiled soon began dropping and the cheerines that usually in his eyes disappeared into the void of the icy crystal blue pigment of his iris
"What's wrong?" The pyro possessor asked as he leaned forward with a small "oof" as he felt the ice press a little too harshly on the wound
"..." hesitating on whether he should answer or stay quiet, Taehyung instead decided to come sit a little closer to Jungkook
"Turn around" Taehyung asked, deep voice rumbling inside the small room (I was gonna say 'small 4 walls room' and then I realised that ALL rooms have at least 4 walls 🤡)
Furrowing his eyebrows but still obeying the instructions given, Jungkook turned around sitting on the floor criss cross
Not knowing what to expect, Jungkook flinched a little when he felt two arms snake around his waists gently not to apply pressure in any wounds. Feeling himself being pulled backwards slightly Jungkook felt taehyungs cheek press agaisnt his back
"Please don't hurt yourself anymore. It's too dangerous" voice small, just above a whisper, Taehyung cursed himself knowing this would be the moment that would not let him sleep because of pure embarrassment
Instead of pushing away like Taehyung had expected, Jungkook rested his palm over taehyungs, feeling the warmth radiating off it
"I'll be more careful" that was for sure not the answer Taehyung was seeking but anything would be an improvement
"Promise?"
"Pinky"
Staying in the comfortable position for a good 15 minutes, Taehyung started getting uncomfortable. Shifting on the floor he moved around trying to feel the tranquility of being with Jungkook until they become distant again
"Are you uncomfortable? You can come sit on my lap" Jungkook said with all the seriousness he could master
"Are you kidding me? I'm not your girlfriend or anything"
"Then you can't hug me" Jungkook said, smug expression of his face as he let go of taehyungs hand
"I don't even need your hug? So full of yourself and for what?" Taehyung lied, hoping that Jungkook would insist
"Oh cmon, if you didn't need my hug we wouldn't have cuddled for 15 minutes straight"
"I'd say it was fairly fruity~" Taehyung mumbled inaudible, making Jungkook confused and curious. Left on "huh?"
"Okay fine. Just this once"
"You were planning on more?»
«no? That's why I said just this once?"
"You you see yourself sitting on my lap more than this once but to restrict yourself from such embarrassment you say 'just this on-"
"Omg just shut up already" sitting in his lap, arms around his shoulders and face in the crook of his neck as he hid from the embarrassment that was taking over his body
Feeling weirdly jittery and restless, Jungkook kept adjusting his position in hope of finally settling down
"Stop" feeling the hot touch of Jungkook on his hips he stopped moving, looking into his eyes like at 2 huge stars
"Your hips are located at a very special spot princess~"
