Taehyung was freaking out. He wanted the younger for so long, and he couldn't even realize it before. He had convinced himself that he didn't like him and ignored his feelings completely. And out of the blue, Jeongguk just kissed him. And he never expected to experience this chaotic churning of emotions.
After changing his clothes, he went outside of Jeongguk's door but couldn't bring himself to enter. He paced there in a haze of consternation, his mind chock-full of Jeongguk, how soft his lips were, and how thrilling it was to have them against his.
Once Jeongguk got dressed, he tossed his body into the bed with a frustrated sigh. He blamed himself on repeat, and he was sure Taehyung wouldn't want to be near him anymore. Although he did react to the kiss and didn't stop it either, he felt awful for kissing him out of nowhere.
For him, it felt heavenly, outright ecstatic, and to be honest, all he wanted was to have another taste of him. But seeing how Taehyung reacted after the kiss, he was sure it was the first and last time he got to kiss his pretty lips.
Even though it was late, he couldn't sleep. He wanted to at least apologize to Taehyung and reassure him that nothing had to change between the two. He was willing to put aside his feelings if he could have Taehyung in his life, even as a friend.
After a while, he couldn't take it anymore. He hopped off his bed and strode to the door, but the moment he flew it open, he went frozen stiff upon seeing Taehyung pace outside with an anxious expression on his face.
Taehyung halted abruptly once he noticed that the door opened and whipped his gaze at him. He looked back at the younger's big doe eyes with his restless ones but didn't seem able to say anything.
"Tae, can you—"
Every ounce of Taehyung's logic dissipated on the spot and his mind went all out blank as he charged towards him and strung their lips together with a zealous clash. The younger stumbled back from the impact, but he clutched his shirt for dear life and managed to hold him steady.
Jeongguk's arms circled his waist as he yielded into the kiss, already licking his lips in a desperate attempt to part his mouth and dip his tongue into it. The permission was granted in a split second, and he started walking backwards while pulling him along without breaking the kiss in the slightest.
Soon enough, the back of Jeongguk's knees collided with the bed, and he flopped back, yanking the boy down with him. Taehyung straddled him and squeezed their bodies together as his hands traveled to his hair and tugged it. Silent, stifled moans filled the room as their tongues danced together at a fast tempo, both craving to feel each other as much as possible.
The younger let his demanding hands roam on his stunning body, fondling his sides, traveling down his thighs, and ending up on his back. He couldn't help but feel himself harden when Taehyung ground against him and the pull on his hair became a tad harsher.
Having Taehyung on top of him seemed rather dangerous since he resumed grinding against him faster by the second. Although he yearned for him, maybe even a little too much, he didn't want to continue further so fast. And so with a smooth move, he rolled him over and straddled him instead.
Their lips parted in the process but Taehyung pulled him by his shirt into another fiery, sloppy make-out session that left both breathless by the euphoric feeling. Once Jeongguk perceived how hard the other was, he groaned automatically into the kiss and nipped at his bottom lip a second later, earning a heap of delicious moans blended with whimpers from him.
Both didn't seem able to get enough of one another. They could barely breathe properly now, but they didn't want to stop. So they ignored the burning in their lungs and continued to devour each other ardently.
Taehyung sensed his whole body go weak at how good it felt to have the younger kissing him as hungrily as he was kissing him. For a slight moment, he found himself wondering why they hadn't done this earlier, but when Jeongguk sucked on his tongue, every thought he had on his mind vanished in a heartbeat.
Although all Jeongguk wanted was to have the boy moaning because of him and keep on kissing him for hours, it was getting more heated by the minute, and he decided to break the kiss. Panting, he propped his hands against the mattress and glanced down at him, taking in his blissed-out state.
His hair was in a mess, his lips swollen and red as his chest rose and fell at a rapid pace with his shallow breaths. He looked like a breathtaking wreck, and all Jeongguk did was kiss him. He would be lying if he said that it wasn't the most arousing and ethereal sight he had ever witnessed.
Still trying to calm his raging heart, Jeongguk slid off him and plopped down beside him, setting his dazed eyes on the ceiling. His head was void of any thought as if he were plunged into a trance of bliss that rendered him incapable of saying anything.
Taehyung wasn't in a better state. Despite his efforts, his heart continued to pound in his chest, no thoughts wandered in his mind, his whole body felt paralyzed as he was in raptures by the lingering, stomach-tightening sensation of Jeongguk's touch.
"I'm sorry," Jeongguk whispered, eyes still glued to the ceiling. "For kissing you out of the blue. I wasn't thinking clearly."
"Why are you saying sorry?" he asked, gradually returning to reality with his soothing voice.
"I freaked you out. I didn't want to freak you out."
"Me freaking out had nothing to do with you, Jeongguk," he murmured and twisted his head to look at him.
"It didn't?" Jeongguk questioned as he mirrored his movements and gazed deep into his pretty eyes with his doe ones.
Taehyung turned to his side and ran his fingers through his hair. "I freaked out because I hadn't realized before how much I wanted... this." His voice came out as a mere whisper at last.
"You don't know how much I wanted this too, Taehyung," he breathed out in relief.
His remark made Taehyung break into a gleeful smile, and he leaned closer to press a kiss on his lips. The one peck turned into two, and the two into five tender, sweet kisses before both pulled back and smiled at each other with heart eyes.
"I hate to be that guy, but... what does this mean?" the older asked in a playful manner at first, but he couldn't help how serious it got at the end.
"I haven't thought about it," Jeongguk uttered as he caressed his back. "All I know is that I like you... a lot. And that I want to have you close to me and kiss you. How can you have so soft lips?" He captured those coveted lips again in an impassioned kiss.
"You have soft lips too," Taehyung said between the kisses. "It feels nice."
"It does. But what does this mean to you?" The question visibly tensed him up, and Jeongguk cracked a smile as he held his face. "Never mind. Do you want to cuddle me and kiss me every day?"
His agitated state seemed to mellow at the second question, and Taehyung nodded his head with a warm smile. "I do want that."
"Then we don't have to say anything else. That's all we need." He linked their lips once more into a long, eager kiss.
Taehyung wanted him too, there was no doubt about that. He didn't know why he couldn't open up and say that he liked him too as Jeongguk said to him. He himself knew quite well that he liked him a ton, but he couldn't bring himself to say it to him for some reason.
Silence fell over them as they stayed there, enjoying each other's warmth. Jeongguk caressed his back delicately as the older now had his face buried in his chest and his one arm laced around him. The younger placed small kisses on the top of his head, inhaling his intoxicating scent in the process, and couldn't help but smile.
"Jeongguk." He drew back to meet his gaze and heard a dulcet hum in response. "I'm confused about something."
Jeongguk gave him a questioning look. "Okay."
"You have a crush," he voiced out, hesitant. "You talked to Inguk yesterday about it."
"Inguk and his big stupid mouth." A heavy sigh passed through his lips. "Yes, I did."
"Who is it?"
Jeongguk blinked repeatedly at the inquiry, an amused expression cloaking his face. "Tae, I'm lying in my bed with you in my arms right now. Who do you think it is?"
"I'm your crush?"
"Of course, you dork." He chuckled. "You're the first person I genuinely like and have gotten close to after my father died. I don't like getting attached to people. But I can say that I'm attached to you."
"You are?"
"I am, and I don't want to lose you from my life. I won't let you go."
"I don't want to lose you either," he whispered with a sigh of content as a beam sprawled on his lips.
"Why were you in a bad mood yesterday when we got home?" Jeongguk asked after a few seconds, eyes narrowing on him.
Taehyung flickered an eyelid at the unexpected question and ducked his head. "You'll think it's stupid and weird."
"I won't, I promise."
"Okay, um... you just lied about talking to Inguk about business and then I figured out that you talked to him about your crush and... I didn't know who your crush was and I didn't like that you had a crush?"
"Aww, you were jealous. You're so cute, Tae," he cooed and pecked his lips.
"I wasn't jealous," Taehyung muttered in a huffy tone as he punched his chest with a tiny fist.
"You didn't like the thought of me having a crush on someone else. Of course you were jealous," he teased, something that made the other smack him once more.
"I'm not telling you anything again," Taehyung said with a fake scowl and a pout on his lips as he attempted to turn his back to him.
But the younger was quick enough to pull him back and cocooned him in his hug as a throaty chuckle escaped his mouth. "Don't be so prickly, you big baby. I'm messing with you." He kissed the top of his head, but another faint punch was planted on his chest. "Do that again, and I swear I'm gonna tickle you until you cry."
Taehyung groaned as he gave him a bone-crushing squeeze. "Blackmailing me is not cool, Kook."
"Punching me is not either, Tae."
"Fine, fine! You're so annoying."
Jeongguk plastered a pretended shocked expression on his face as he withdrew and lay on his back with his arms crossed over his chest. "I'm not kissing you again."
"What? You can't do that!" he anxiously said as he scrambled to climb over him. "Kiss me." He craned forward to peck his lips, but Jeongguk snapped his head to the side.
"No. Since I'm so annoying, I'm not kissing you."
"But you're not annoying when you kiss me," Taehyung provoked in a murmur as he glanced away, endeavoring to constrain his laugh.
"You suck!" he grumbled, a deep frown taking over his features.
"Come on, I'm kidding." He released his pent-up giggle then. "That's what we do, we tease each other. You're not annoying, Jeongguk," he continued softly as he rested his head against his chest and encircled his sturdy body with his arms. "You're kind and sweet and caring. You're the most amazing boy in this shitty world."
"I'm the second most amazing then because you're the first, Tae," he uttered as he held him tighter. A grin popped up onto his face when he saw the boy perk his head up and give him a giddy smile. "You're so adorable I could eat you."
"You're so sweet, Kook." He couldn't help but giggle as he crawled a tad closer so he could claim his lips into a delicate kiss.
They let their tongues wander in each other's mouth as they squeezed their bodies together. It was a passionate but still sugary kiss that lasted for a while.
"We should sleep. You have to wake up early tomorrow," Taehyung said as he lay down beside him.
"You wanna come with me?"
"Why?"
"No reason. I just want to have you close to me."
"I hate waking up early in the morning."
"I do too, but I have to."
"And you want me to suffer with you." His impish remark had both giggling mildly.
"Maybe?"
"Dork."
"It's okay if you don't want to come."
"I want to spend time with you though." Taehyung nuzzled closer to him as he closed his tired eyes. "I can't keep my eyes open anymore."
"Sleep, Tae." Jeongguk kissed his temple tenderly before covering the boy with the blanket. "Goodnight," he whispered as he placed another tender kiss on his forehead and then closed his eyes too.
"Goodnight, Kookie," he drawled as he squeezed him once, making the other smile at the small but sweet gesture.
