"you haven't asked him to be your boyfriend yet?!"

Taehyung stayed unbothered. sighed, ruffled his hair and took a sip from his cup. he could really use some alcohol right now.

"it's nice to see you too Jimin. and Jungkook, i think we need to talk."

the older didn't wait for his friends to answer, pulled Jungkook up from the couch and out the front door.

it was about midnight, the air too cold for any of the guests to be outside. the moonlight gave the scenery a blue tint. the muffled sounds from the party only white noise. it felt somewhat magical. like one of those moments were time didn't exist. as if the world had stopped turning. as if they were in a completely different universe. as if the two of them were the only people alive.

they sat down on the first few steps of the stairs. Taehyung could feel how goosebumps rose on the other's arms. Jungkook had left his jacket inside, loosely hanging over the back of the couch. the older took off the coat he had still been wearing and carefully placed it over the other's lightly shaking shoulders. it was not new for the pair to share clothes but it still made Jungkook's cheeks go all shades of pastel pink.

"i heard a bit of your conversation with Jimin."

the younger could feel the other's gaze on his skin. he didn't dare to look up let alone meet his eyes. what was he so nervous about? instead he started playing with his shoelaces - untied them, just to tie them again, only a few moments later. the silence between them was loud. Taehyung rested his head on his knees, watching Jungkook. the younger followed his movements. their eyes finally meeting. honey to hazel.

deja vu. the scene reminded Taehyung of the morning after Jungkook's first night sleeping on his couch. when he didn't know why his friend ran away from home. when he didn't even think about kissing him. when they watched the sunset, drank coffee and smoked. the younger hasn't lit up a cigarette since then.

"do you want to be my boyfriend?"

they both already knew the answer but got shy about it anyway. Jungkook hid his blushing cheeks with his hands, burying his face in the older's chest. he could hear the front door open, the music getting louder. some guy stumbled out the door. but their bodies didn't react, didn't move an inch.

"u too doing good?"

with his arms wrapped around the younger, Taehyung had the biggest smile on his lips. his face lit up, shined brighter than the stars in the sky. he was sure about everything now. how could he not feel good? he was holding his - boyfriend.

"couldn't feel any better."

they left the party right then and there. got into Taehyung's car, windows down and blasted their favorite songs. they drove to empty parking lots and kissed and held hands and watched the stars. and they fed each other chips from the bag of snacks they had stolen from the party. and they screamed at the top of their lungs and giggled and laughed.

they felt infinite.
