"Like this?" Jungkook had strummed the strings to the guitar, expecting it to be a sound that didn't pair up but was surprised when it seemed to be decent. His eyes widened when he had gotten the notes right as he turned his head and looked up at Taehyung, who was sat behind him with Jungkook in between his legs.
The older chuckled softly as he nodded at the boy, his chest pressed against Jungkook's back as his arms circled him once more. He grasped the guitar and played another note for the younger to mimic before giving it back.
The notes were becoming harder, Jungkook had noticed this when he tried remembering which strings to press down on and where to strum the others. He thought about it before he got himself situated and repeated the same exact time the elder had played for him.
He beamed when he had gotten right by the way Taehyung smiled down at him with a nod of his head. Jungkook would've clapped if it weren't for the instrument he held in his hands.
Taehyung grabbed ahold of it, fingers mindlessly strumming over the strings and creating a tune he knew well of—a tune he held close to his heart after so many years.
Jungkook listened closely, glancing up at the other with a parted mouth and glassy eyes looking up at Taehyung. The blond wasn't paying much mind to the alpha pressed against his chest as he played the tune.
Taehyung didn't seem he was going to stop anytime soon by the way his fingers kept moving and playing with the strings. The melody was beautiful, and awfully familiar once it filled Jungkook's ears.
It didn't take him long to realize it was the same melody Taehyung had played on the piano during their first lesson. This had made Jungkook look up at Taehyung and noticed the way he held so much emotion in his eyes.
It was so raw and pure that it consumed the ravenette boy whole. He could physically feel everything Taehyung was feeling, and the feeling was painful. Taehyung knew this song and what it meant to him, yet, he wasn't ready to let the boy know of such thing.
Jungkook looked away and watched the way Taehyung's fingers moved, the way they strummed and picked at the strings and continued playing that same soft tune. He tried not paying much mind to the way he felt pangs to his heart, and it caused him to place his hand on his chest and grip his shirt between his fingers.
Once Taehyung's fingers had come to a slow stop, the room remained silent for just a little while longer. Neither spoke, afraid that the slightest sound would ruin this moment as Jungkook allowed himself to sink in what just happened.
He wanted Taehyung to be the first to speak, not knowing if he would be interrupting something that the older was currently experiencing, such as memories that flooded his mind once he played that song.
Jungkook couldn't help but tilt his head back and look up again, unsure of what to say now, and when he looked back, he was met with a pair of dark, ravenous eyes that pierced into his own.
He swallowed the knot forming in his throat, suddenly feeling small under the alpha's intense stare. Taehyung had set the guitar down on the mattress, his arms wrapping around Jungkook's petite waist as he locked eyes with the younger.
Jungkook's eyes flickered down to Taehyung's plush lips, subconsciously licking his own and the peek of the boy's tongue had Taehyung's head spinning and everything seemed to fade around him.
His bottom lip wandered between his teeth, nibbling along the pink flesh and it had Taehyung bringing a hand up and tugging on the boy's chin, forcing his mouth to open and releasing his lower lip. Jungkook expected him to get weirded out by the contact and pull away.
What he didn't expect was for Taehyung to continue gently gripping his cheek with his fingers, peering into his eyes so deeply that Jungkook was hooked—unable to look away as he remained frozen in his spot.
The elder didn't plan to look away—not any time soon, at least. He couldn't, and as much as he should, he couldn't bring himself to do so. It was like he was under some kind of spell, unable to do anything as if he were no longer in control of his body.
His large hand gently cupped the boy's jaw, thumb tenderly caressing his cheek as Taehyung slowly began to lean in. His eyes were locked on Jungkook's lips, watching him lick over them and glisten with saliva.
He suddenly stopped when he noticed the way Jungkook's body stiffened and was met with big eyes. The look was of fear, curiosity, and confusion all in one. Taehyung couldn't bring himself to move any further knowing this was the look he was receiving.
The way Jungkook's body tensed near him, the elder couldn't bring himself to make the younger uncomfortable. That's why he found himself stopping and looking into Jungkook's Bambi eyes, searching them before he continued.
However, the emotions never faltered. He stayed in that same pool of swirling emotions, his body remaining stiff as he stared at the other. Taehyung couldn't help but wonder what was running through his head. So many emotions were displayed in just his eyes, he couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking.
Little did Taehyung know Jungkook was wanting this just as much as he was. He just didn't know how to show it. A small part of him feared they were doing this for the wrong reason, while another part was certain that this was right.
What ran through his head on loop was wondering if Taehyung was just going through the motions and just wanted to get it out of his system, only to regret it later. That alone scared Jungkook, and he didn't know what to expect if their lips were to ever connect.
Jungkook knew exactly what was going to happen, the signs as clear as day and there was no denying the amount of sexual tension that had gathered in the room. He wanted this, but something feared this wasn't a good idea.
Maybe that was just his anxiety talking to him, something that often ruined moods and moments like this one, and he couldn't help it. He chewed on his bottom lip, mentally debating on what he should do because he certainly didn't know how to shake the fear and anxiety off.
He has never been bold before, but there's always a first time for everything. Right? He found himself maneuvering so he was now straddling Taehyung's thighs, and this had the older's eyes growing in size as he watched the boy make himself comfortable.
"We don't have to do this—" Taehyung tried to say, but was met with Jungkook's arms thrown over his neck and noses touching as he whispered, "Shut up."
