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

Part 7 - Nine Years

You could feel your cheeks burning up. You. He had named his dog after you.

"Tae..." The whisper slips through your lips. "Are you..." You can't finish, but let the question hang there as you search his eyes for his answer.

He gulped. His nose wrinkled, and then... The smallest of nods.

You maintain eye contact, but as he curls his lower lip and nibble on it, you can no longer stand it. So, without thinking about it too much - and letting your doubts have any say - you lean in, closing the space between you.

The kiss was quick; only a second or two, but more than just a friendly peck. Feeling your heart racing, you withdraw; feeling both excited, yet scared. What if you had just blown up everything?

Your breath staggering, you don't dare lift your gaze to meet his eyes. It was done now. There was nothing more for you to do. You had exposed yourself to him, and now... Now it was up to him what to do... if anything...

You couldn't help but wonder if Taehyung could feel it as well; your heart pulsing, beating so fast that you thought it was going to explode through your chest. There had been a shift in you the moment that his lips touched yours. Something had changed, it had changed for good. The question was... was it for good? or...

Waiting, nothing seemed to happen. Not a word, not a touch; just the sound of him breathing. You open your eyes and startle. His face was so close. He'd moved without you hearing it, and was now so close that your noses were almost touching.

He looked stunned, but also surprised. He hadn't kissed you back, but he hadn't pulled away either.

"Tae..." You started, wanting to apologize. "I shouldn't have-"

Taehyung leaned in, and this time, touched his mouth to yours ever so lightly.

Your eyes first widening with surprise, then you close them, and carefully form your lips; modeling them to his. His lips so soft, you feel yourself sinking into them like a cloud, but... It was nowhere near enough. Years of wanting having built up, and even as you held him in this sweet moment, you couldn't fight another feeling building up in you.

You needed more.

As is having their own life, you felt your fingers move up and latch onto his face and tugged him closer. You could feel the muscles tense in him, but after a moment, he seemed to relax again. Careful not to startle him again, you moved your lips slightly, slowly; inviting him to take control.

At first nothing, but as you were about to deepen it yourself, his fingers moved up to your hair and pulled it slightly before giving a surprising yank. You gasped in surprise, and as your lips parted, you felt his moist tongue slide out of his mouth to rub along your lips, caressing them before sliding into your heated mouth.

Moaning, your arms wrap around his neck as you let him caress your tongue with his. The kiss continued, and as the dance continued, you felt the years of questions fall off your shoulders. You hadn't been the only one. It wasn't just you. Tae had felt it too. Knowing that, knowing how he felt made your heart leap, and it was like you could finally breathe freely.

You weren't sure how long that passed when you had to pull away. Gasping for air, you long to crash your lips to his again, but before you could, Taehyung got on his feet. Still facing the same direction, you're suddenly facing something else entirely, and you can't help but gulp as your cheeks burn up. You were no longer alone.

"I... Ehm..." Taehyung's voice staggered. "I should probably go take.. Ehm.. care of things."

"Ahaa..." You begin, but then, "Tae..."
