[21+] Birthday Bear [Y/N x Kim Taehyung] Birthday 2020

Part 5 - Lips

Your heart on hiatus, you look at him. Had he just said- Well, not that it really meant anything - Tae was always so affectionate. Looking at him, his face was a big smile, and his eyes closed as his whole face was nothing but a big grin. He was so sweet and loving. He really was... Almost too much.

Putting on a friendly smile, you sit down beside him on the couch. His attention is drawn back to the piece of cake, but he does not cut into it.

"You know that it's made for eating, right?" You nudge him with your shoulder. "I'm pretty sure it's not poisonous."

"I know, I'm just trying to remember what it tasted like." Taehyung says.

You blink. "What? But you haven't even tasted it yet!"

"Not this one," he explains. "The other one you made."

"The other one?" You begin. What was he talking about? You hadn't made him anything else - not in a long while - so unless he... no... you shake your head. He couldn't possibly be thinking of-

"I wish we could have tried a piece of ours too now. To compare it."

"The one we made forever ago?"

Taehyung nods.

"It would have been really, really bad if it was still around." You point out. "Besides, it would have meant that we didn't like it enough to eat it, right?"

"Exactly." He nods in agreement. "That is why I'm trying to remember it."

You can't help but giggle as you let out a sigh. Taehyung had always been like this - ever since you had first met. He always bought something new, something unique and different that always left you smiling. Apparently, this hadn't changed since then, and neither had he it seemed. You smiled; he was still your teddy bear... Even if not fully.

"So..." Shaking your head to rid yourself of the thoughts, you give him an encouraging nod. "Should we try it?"

"Mhm... yes." Tae agrees, but he seems still distant - as if just pulled out from deep thoughts.

Grabbing each your own fork, you slice your fork through the top layer, the cream, and the bottom; they are all smooth to your relief. You look up, and your eyes meet, and without another cue needed.

"3"

"2"

"1"

You both put the fork in your mouths.

The fear you'd been harboring evaporates as the creamy fullness fills your mouth. There's not much to be tasted of the strawberry - or that is until you swallow and the aftertaste that lingers in your mouth is distinctly sweet like a strawberry. You smiled. It wasn't your worst idea.

Curious, you look over at Taehyung to see his reaction. The boy is sitting there with a fork in his mouth and eyes closed.

"Tae?" You try, suddenly worried. Maybe the strawberry powder had been a bad idea after all? "It's okay if you don't like it. I think I have some ice cream that we can-"

His face snaps to you; his eyes now open and wide. Slowly removing the fork from his mouth, he looks at you with a strange expression in his eyes.

"What?" You quickly wipe your face with your hand - just in case.

"It tastes like you."

"W-what?" You blink perplexed as you feel like cheeks heat up. What was he on about? And why did he word it like that?! You mentally slap yourself as you try to get your dirty mind to stop putting images in your head. What the hell, brain!
