The six men explored the castle grounds, taking their time to seek out the best place to spend the afternoon. Finally, finding a beautiful garden with benches, a fountain, and even a grassy patch for Namjoon. Namjoon had received permission from Tae earlier to shift into his wolfy self, and he took that opportunity now. Shedding his clothes and changing, he nudged Hobi's knee. The man had never seen Namjoon in his other form, and Wolfy wanted to play with his new friend.
"Oh god, he's gorgeous." Hobi stroked Wolfy's fur, basking in how soft he was. He let out a giggle with Wolfy decided he would rest his head on the man's shoulder, his wet nose rubbing against his neck.
"He's much more charming in wolf form." Jin laughed, slapping his knee at his own joke. Shutting up quickly when Wolfy turned and glared at him.
"His teeth are sharper in this form; remember that, sweetie," Yoongi stated. "I don't have time to patch up his bites."
Jimin padded over, plopping down on Hobi's lap, nuzzling his face against Wolfy's. "I've missed you." He scratched his nails over Wolfy's side, making the giant wolf fall on his side and chuff in happiness.
Jungkook sat next to Jin, talking quietly, answering the question his eldest hyung asked him. "We were pretty shocked. Namjoon and I missed him, and we knew he was with Hobi hyung, so we were surprised when he said he wanted to be with all of us. But we love him; we decided we wanted to try an open thing with all four of us."
"How is that even going to work? Like I know you and Jimin are more bottom than top, but Hobi and Namjoon are.." Yoongi made a gesture with his hand. "Like I could never let Jin top me, no offense, princess, but no, that's never happening."
"Really now?" Jin raised his brow, giving Yoongi a look. "Never? Like even if I were to cut off all sex, you would never let me top?"
"We have toys; I can take care of myself." Yoongi leans over, nibbling right below Jin's ear, "besides, we both know you enjoy being taken care of too much."
"Mmm-hmm. We'll see, won't we." Jin turned his back to Yoongi. "He does have a point, though, Kookie. How would that work with Joon and Hobi?"
"Not sure yet. We haven't actually had that talk. Just the cursory talk saying we were all willing to try."
"But are you trying for yourselves, or are you trying just for Jiminie?" Yet again, Yoongi was asking the tough questions.
"I'm pretty sure Namjoonie and Hobi are doing it just for Jiminie, but I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't curious." Jungkook pulls up random blades of grass, a nervous gesture both Jin and Yoongi noticed. "Namjoonie and Jiminie are the only two people I've ever been with. So I'm curious on that aspect too, but Hobi hyung was always nice, well, when he wasn't spelled. But he was normally a happy person; he used to be so fun to be around. I'm curious to see how much of that happy boy is still there."
"And that's great, Kookie, but you don't have to date him to learn that." Jin pointed out.
"Oh, I know. I'm comfy around him, but there's still this, I don't know, spark, I guess? Something that is driving me to want to learn more, be around him more. Plus, dude, he's hot."
Yoongi chuckled, "That he is Kookie. Hobi definitely grew up into a very handsome guy. And don't even look at me like that, Jin, I can admit when someone is good looking, and Hobi definitely is."
"Well.. shit yeah, he is." Jin agreed, not wanting to admit Yoongi was right. "It's great seeing him so happy again. Look at him giggling with Jimin and Wolfy. Actually giggling, you guys. When was the last time you saw a grown man giggle, and I'm not talking about Jiminie."
Jungkook lets out a happy sigh. "Yeah, it's great, isn't it." Jungkook lets out a little laugh when Wolfy comes over and licks his cheek, sitting down and shooting Kook a look. "We've spoken about this, babe, no starting stuff when you're in wolf form."
Hobi turned to face the others, Jimin still on his lap. "He's tried that before?"
"Once. I left the patio door open for him since he was outside in form, and I went in to take a shower. I came out of the bathroom in just a towel, and he was waiting right by the door. Stuck his nose right up the towel and start licking at me." Jungkook shot Wolfy a look. "His tongue is super rough, by the way. Wolfy really wanted to rut and claim me. Being down for almost anything once, I let him. It was... well, it was different. I'm used to Namjoon going all dom on me, but Wolfy is a bit different, not really caring whether I was comfortable or not. He did it to claim me, though." Jungkook pointed out the light scar on his neck. "He calmed after claiming and knotting with me, though. The knot was, wow, it was intense. I felt so full, and it stayed stuck inside for about 20 minutes before it went down enough for him to slip out."
Wolfy whined, not liking the way Jungkook spoke about their mating. Wolfy never meant to hurt his mate, but wolves are focused during a rut, wanting nothing more than to knot their mate and hopefully impregnate them. He knew there was no way for him to impregnate Jungkook, but it was still ingrained deep in his brain. He licked Jungkooks cheek again.
"So you would never do it again?" Jimin looked at Jungkook, question in his eyes.
"I try never to say never, but it's way down at the bottom of the list." Jungkook scratched at Wolfy's head, the wolf's tongue lolling out of his mouth in pleasure. "So we're all going to dinner tonight, right?"
A chorus of yes's or nods followed the question causing Yoongi to look at his watch. "Then we should head up there and get ready. We only have two hours, and there are six of us to get ready."
