"I like your bed." Claudette turned slightly, only slightly because Jungkook was spooning her from behind (is that how i write it? idk man). "It's really warm and comfortable."

"I like my bed too." Jungkook chuckled, half-awake so his sleepy voice was shining through, so much deeper than normal. "I like it when you're with me."

"I like being with you." Claudette touched his arm gently, it wrapped around her torso securely. "You're really nice."

'Why is she talking so much?' Jungkook asked with a small smile. 'Does she want something?'

"Everything alright Bubs?"

"I am perfectly fine." Claudette nodded, hitting Jungkook's nose unintentionally. "I am just wondering what I should say to Taehyung and if my chili was good."

'Oh this girl.'

Jungkook didn't want to talk anymore. No, he was tired, very tired and he wanted to just cuddle Claudette into a blissful dream.

So Jungkook kissed her shoulder, her t-shirt a thin black one, so he knew she felt his lips. His lips trailed to her upper back, just behind her shoulder, leaving butterfly kisses everywhere.

"Let's just relax Bubs." He whispered into her ear before kissing it tenderly, sitting up slightly to reach her cheek. "That's a tomorrow problem." And took her chin with his hand so he had the perfect aim to kiss her lips. "Okay?"

"Okay." Claudette smiled softly, Jungkook kissing her ear again, butterflies flying around her stomach. She bit her fingernail with a smile as he laid back down again, groaning softly and pressing his face against her neck.

His nose was so cold it was almost painful against Claudette's warm neck. But it felt so good, his lips right there, his breath dancing across her skin.

This was meant to be.

"I love you." He mumbled, hiding his face in her neck after he said it.

Claudette squealed silently, biting down on her fingernail harder, a huge smile on her face, absolute happiness and content flowing through her body.

'He said it! He said it!'

"I love you too."

Jungkook woke to lips on his cheek and gentle fingers stroking through his hair. Claudette was still in his arms, right where they fell asleep together, and he could feel her hair in his face, so it wasn't her delivering these love touches.

"Good morning Jungkookie." Taehyung mumbled softly, smiling down at his boyfriend.

"What are you doing up so early?" Jungkook squinted, Taehyung's heart-melting at his bedhead. He's deemed Jungkook the cutest when he's just woken up. "You don't like waking up early."

"It's 10 in the morning Kook." Taehyung laughed softly. "I made you and Claudette some breakfast. Do you mind waking her?"

"Will you stay with us?" Jungkook asked, rubbing his eyes.

Taehyung's smile saddened, remembering what Namjoon said, and Hoseok's gentle reminder. "I can't Kookie. Maybe tomorrow I'll take us three out for breakfast."

"Are you going to talk to Claudette tonight?" Jungkook rolled onto his back, Claudette moving slightly.

"I plan on it."

"Tomorrow is her and Yoongi's three month anniversary, so she'll be with him tomorrow and sleep with him tonight, just a heads up." Jungkook rolled back to hug Claudette tightly, Claudette slowly waking up.
