MARATHON: Taekook

71

"I swear to god if he had some of my banana milk I won't hesitate to-" Jungkook started while swinging the bathroom door open, though the words died on his tongue when he was met with the pretty boy before him.

Taehyung was waiting there for him, the door almost hitting his face yet he didn't even flinch, completely lost in whatever thoughts occupied his mind.

Poking the boy's cheek to with his index finger to check if he was alive, Jungkook frowned when he got no response apart from a mere absentminded blink.

However, just as the younger was about to call Taehyung's name, the boy turned and looked up at Jungkook shyly, blinking innocently once again.

"I sort of came up with a scenario in my head," Taehyung trailed off as he let out a small sigh, "I wanted to feel those." The boy softly tapped a finger on Jungkook's rosy lips. "And I wanted to tell you that I think I'm starting to fall for you. But..."

"But?" Jungkook persisted, still feeling the burning sensation Taehyung's touch on his lips left.

"But then you're here, standing right in front of me, and I can't even think properly because you look so pretty. And I don't even know why I'm telling you all this and now I'm rambling but I can't seem to shut up and-" Taehyung allowed himself to take a much needed breath, cutting his embarrassing speech short before he ran out of oxygen.

"Breathe, Tae," Jungkook chuckled throatily, smiling the brightest bunny smile he'd ever smiled while staring at the older boy.

"You good?" Jungkook questioned, receiving a nod in response, "great. Now let me take your breath away again."

The younger grinned at his cheesy line before leaning forward to connect their lips softly.

And that was the moment Taehyung knew he'd be replaying on repeat in his brain for the foreseeable future.

He could smell Jungkook's familiar scent, the faint cologne he used in order to try and impress the older only making him more enticing than he already was. Because Taehyung knew how hard the boy was trying; he knew that he probably had no idea how to be romantic and seeing Jungkook trying meant more than anything else.

Jungkook delicately cupped the older's cheek, stroking the soft skin with the pad of his thumb and allowing his other hand to grip Taehyung's waist.

He held Taehyung's cheek so carefully that his fingers barely graced the skin, only tickling it softly as if he was afraid the boy would break in his grip. Yet, the way he held Taehyung's waist countered that, his fingers wrapped harshly around the boy's flesh protectively, not allowing to let him go.

Taehyung couldn't help but smile, the whole kiss becoming messy and unflattering as his teeth clashed against Jungkook's lips, though Jungkook couldn't fight his smile either.

And soon they were both there smiling their unique smiles, mouths so impossibly close together and chests pressed against each other.

Heart beats were in sync and breathing patterns were timed to perfection, further proving that the two boys were made for each other.

"Is this anything like that scenario you created?" Jungkook giggled against the older's lips cutely.

"Well we haven't gotten to the part where I tell you I think I'm falling for you," Taehyung smiled shyly, arms finding their way around Jungkook's neck so that his wrist connected at his nape.

"And is that part now?" Jungkook asked softly, lifting his gaze to meet Taehyung's chocolate eyes that held nervousness but mostly adoration.

"Jeon Jungkook," Taehyung squeaked out while tightening his grip he had around the younger, "I'm falling for you."

"Well, Kim Taehyung," Jungkook spoke with clear happiness, "I'm falling for you too."

And that's all it took for the boys to connect their lips again, creating another memory they would both cherish for a very very long time.
