electric love - børns

+++

the winter holidays were always a family event. christmas markets, ice skating, skiing trips. you become closer, do more activities together - it was supposed to be the happiest time of the year. not for Jungkook. having to hide most of his personality in front of his family, made christmas the most exhausting time for him. forced family fun, going to church every sunday, receiving presents he didn't like. and don't get him started on all the faked happiness. but not this year. this year everything was different.

Jungkook snapped out of his daydream to watch Taehyung drive, one hand on the wheel, the other on his thigh. the younger had called him handsome about a hundred times already. but if you had the chance to see him drive with his messy and fluffy hair, you'd definitely say the same. through the rear view mirror Jungkook was able to see Jimin - and his newly found boyfriend Yoongi - who have fallen asleep on the backseat. they were on their way to a skiing lodge to celebrate christmas and the new year with Namjoon and Hoseok.

it had been snowing pretty heavily the past few days and it didn't look like it would stop any time soon. despite not liking christmas, Jungkook loved the winter. snow, hot chocolate, fuzzy socks and ugly (but cute) sweaters. but the best part of it all: he could always use "i'm cold" as an excuse for more cuddles from Taehyung without it being questionable.

"what are you thinking about?"

the older glanced in his direction before focusing on the street again. he tucked his hair behind his ear, smiled softly.

how much i love you.

they have never said those words to each other. Jungkook had told the older often in his mind though. how much he loved his voice, and his hair, and his kisses. how much he loved it when Taehyung called him pretty, and cuddled with him. how much he loved his warm eyes and honey skin and the mole on his nose. he loved his laugh and the way his eyes went wide when he ate something delicious. the feeling of his arms around Jungkook's body when they hugged or how his soft lips left his skin tingling. how much he loved Taehyung for simply being Taehyung.

they have never said those 3 words to each other. not yet.

"nothing. just how happy i am right now."

they reached the lodge a few hours later. it was already dark out when the house came in sight. Hoseok and Namjoon who had been there earlier, had to help sleepy Jimin and Yoongi with their luggages. Jungkook couldn't wait to go inside, drink hot chocolate and open their secret santa gifts. at the beginning of december they drew names to decide who would get gifts for who. Jungkook got Yoongi and was a bit unsure what to get the older at first since he only had known him for a few weeks. but after learning about his love for drinks, the decision for the right gift wasn't as hard.
