CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE, MINOR ANGST, & FLUFF
_
Taehyung yawned, whining aloud as he stretched his arms achingly above his head. The blonde settled back against the headboard of his bed, blinking leisurely down at his Pomeranian as Yeontan sniffled, glaring up at him with emotionless, black eyes. Taehyung smiled warmly, casting a glance at the door to his room. He couldn't hear any sounds from the living room, telling him that Jimin and Jungkook were still out shopping. He wondered how much longer they'd be, turning over and draping his arm across Yumin's waist. Yumin whimpered, a tremor running up her body as she pressed herself against his chest. Watching her calmly, Taehyung sighed, images of the brunette teary-eyed and shivering flashing through his mind as he gripped her hip. I'm not going to hurt her, Taehyung told himself, cuddling close against Yumin's backside. I'd never let myself do that to anyone. The blonde sighed, reaching out to place his palm over Yumin's cold, smaller hand. I know you're scared, angel. I just wish you'd trust me more.
Taehyung pulled Yumin closer against his chest, the brunette moaning under her breath as she arched her back against him. Taehyung could feel the heat rise to his cheeks; he knew she was still in little space, but couldn't help but want to make her elicit more of those pretty sounds. The blonde chuckled, his lips connecting to the patch of skin below her ear and sucking gently. A whimper escaped Yumin as her eyes fluttered open, a tremor running up her spine. Taehyung continued to kiss his way down her neck, leaving a small hickey below her ear. Yumin clutched his hand tightly, her head lolling back against his shoulder.
"Tae," she mumbled listlessly. The sound of her tired, breathy voice made Taehyung tighten his hold around her, wanting nothing more than to protect Yumin and make her smile.
"You're so pretty, angel," he murmured, pressing a kiss against the dip in her collar. "My precious little angel."
Yumin smiled softly, turning over to cuddle up against Taehyung's broad chest. Taehyung kept his arms locked around her waist, drawing her ever closer as he pressed a kiss against her forehead. The brunette giggled against his neck, hiding her face away against his shoulder. He pushed her up to face him, Yumin's cheeks flushed a light pink as she avoided his gaze. Taehyung slipped a finger under her chin, smiling to himself and tilting her head up to press a kiss against her lips.
"You're my pretty little girl, aren't you, angel?" Taehyung breathed, smiling at the way his tone made Yumin blush a darker shade of pink. She looked cute when she was flustered, and he enjoyed making her smile. Yumin nodded quickly, cuddling back up against the crook of his neck with a sigh. Taehyung held on to her tightly, never wanting to let go. The brunette draped a leg over his thigh, drawing him closer until she could throw all her limbs around his skinny frame. Taehyung chuckled, pressing gentle kisses along her temple and forehead, shutting his eyes tightly because he absolutely fucking loved being wrapped up with Yumin, and he never wanted her to let go.

I curled closer to Taehyung, his chest rising and falling gently as he peered down at me. My face felt warm and flushed as my gaze locked with his for a brief moment. His eyes were soft and lazy as they searched my face, his tongue drawing over the front of his bottom lip. I hid my face away in the crook of his neck, Taehyung's arms tightening around my waist as they drew me closer. Reaching out, I wrapped my hand around Taehyung's long index finger, giggling at the way he flexed it in my grasp, the tip appearing like the hairless head of a caterpillar peaking out from between my thumb and palm.
"What is it with you and fingers, Yumin?" the blonde chuckled, twisting his wrist to cup the bottom of my hand against his palm.
I shrugged, not wanting to tell Taehyung the reason I held onto his and the other's fingers when in little space. I smiled at the memory, a faint blush trailing along my cheeks as I squeezed Taehyung's finger gently.
"You're really adorable, angel," he murmured, resting his cheek against the top of my head. I smiled softly, enjoying the warmth of our bodies as I pressed myself closer to his chest. Yeontan harrumphed under his breath, pushing himself up to his tiny paws and hopping onto Taehyung's lap. The blonde chuckled, his eyes fluttering closed. We remained in that position for what felt like an hour, curled up against each other with Yeontan stepping back-and-forth between our thighs until he finally found a comfortable spot between us with his head against my abdomen.
The sound of the front door opening made Taehyung sit up abruptly, his hold on my hand tightening protectively. Soft voices sounded from down the hall, shuffling around the kitchen as Nari let out an excited bark. Taehyung and I pushed ourselves to our feet calmly, Yeontan yawning sleepy and curling up on the empty bed as if he owned it. We stepped out into the hallway, smiles adorning our faces as we watched Jimin and Jungkook stumble about the kitchen with grocery bags slung over their forearms.
"I really don't understand why you had to carry so many bags, hyung," Jungkook mumbled, hiking the last of the bags onto the kitchen island. "I'm just as capable of carrying the groceries as you are."
Jimin shook his head, the brunet turning on Jungkook with flushed cheeks. He exhaled heavily, tilting his head back to catch his breath. "Because. You would've been slower with so many bags in your hands."
"Why would I need to be fast?"
"Just in case Yura showed up. So you could run-"
"If he showed up, there is no way in hell I'd just leave you down there, Jimin and you know it."
"Guys!" Taehyung's tone was deep and warning as he stepped out into the hallway, his bottom lip caught between his teeth. I stepped out behind him, slipping my fingers around his pinkie and holding on to it. Jungkook peered out into the hallway, his eyes wide and apologetic as he glanced from his hyung down to me. I stared back at him with unblinking eyes, the mere sight of him threatening to remove all common sense from my head. Jimin stepped out into the hallway, pulling his white hoodie from atop his head. He offered a smile, his cheeks rising from beneath his black cotton mask. The look of pure relief on his face made me smile, my feet urging out from behind Taehyung. I waddled past the blonde, my arms outstretched sheepishly as Jimin wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me against his chest. He nuzzled his face against me, mask brushing softly against my jaw.
"Jimin," I mumbled, letting my eyes flutter closed. The whole room seemed to fall away as Jimin's hold on me tightened, my arms numbly slipping around his small waist and pulling him closer. The brunet sighed heavily against my shoulder as he nudged my face with his, a light blush becoming visible from beneath his mask.
"Hyung must be right. Maybe we are whipped for Yumin," Taehyung chuckled, brushing past us to wrap his arms around Jungkook. The smaller boy looked up at the blonde with a smile, pushing himself up on the tips of his toes to wrap his arms around his shoulders. I watched them with a smile tugging at my lips, enjoying the sight of them together. Jimin lifted his gaze to rest his chin atop my head, peering down the hall at the younger boys with a warm gaze.
"We're all whipped for each other," Jungkook grinned, pressing his lips against Taehyung's a light blush crept along his face. Taehyung smiled into the maknae's touch, gripping Jungkook's hips to draw him closer. He deepened the kiss, the brunet's smaller hands threading through his mass of blonde hair to pull him closer. I giggled at how lovey-dovey the pair were being, glad the two of them appeared so calm and carefree at the moment.
"Ah-hem!" Jimin coughed, pushing my face into the crook of his neck. "Not in front of Yumin." I wiggled playfully in his grasp, popping my head out and grinning gleefully at the blushing pair down the hall. Jungkook flashed his bunny smile, pressing a quick kiss against Taehyung's plump lips before pulling away. He shuffled calmly into the kitchen, Taehyung, and Nari in tow as he began to unload the groceries into the fridge. Taehyung waddled up behind the redhead, snaking his arms around his waist and resting his chin on the younger boy's shoulder with a sigh.
Seeing the two of them so happy and cuddly made my stomach swarm with butterflies. I made to step into the kitchen, eager to help them unpack the groceries and get a peek at what food Jungkook and Jimin had bought. As I stepped away from Jimin, the brunet grabbed my hips gently, a soft grumble escaping his lips as he pulled me back against his chest. "Where are you going?" he mumbled, smiling warmly as he pressed his lips against my neck. I hummed quietly, enjoying the way he held me protectively against his chest, tilting my head back to rest against his shoulder. Jungkook peered back down the hallway at me and Jimin, simpering happily. I blinked at him leisurely, curling closer to the brunet with a small smile adorning my face.
"Jimin, you're so clingy," Jungkook chuckled, shutting the refrigerator door.
"I'm protective," Jimin grumbled, gently running his hands over mine. He held my arms beneath his, comfortably tucked against my stomach as he leaned against the wall. I moved with the brunet, careful not to step on his toes as I stationed myself between his feet, leaning back comfortably against his chest.
"You were being clingy at the market, too," Jungkook continued, stepping out into the hall. He walked over to us, reaching out to brush his hyung's bangs from his small, pale face. Jimin smiled, a faint blush trailing over his cheeks. "Every time someone looked at me, you'd wrap your arms around my waist and start muttering threats under your breath."
"I was being protective."
I shook my head, brushing past Jungkook with Jimin close behind me as I limped into the living room. Jungkook chuckled, a light blush flaring up his neck as he wandered back into the kitchen to help Taehyung put the groceries away. A small smile blossomed on my face as I curled up in the center of the living room, grateful to have Jimin close by. I chuckled under my breath, glancing up at Jimin as he settled back against the couch with a smile on his face as he watched me.
I love you, you dork.
