Beauty of love (DISCONTINUED)

- 26 -

Cuddling in the living room with Yoongi and Jimin feels as natural as things can be. The older vampire holding me in his arms while the younger one lays his head on my lap, allowing for my hand to run through his hair softly, his eyes closing a little more with each passing minutes.

Namjoon and Hoseok are sitting together on another couch, both reading a book together. In my case, I'm not really focusing on anything. Sleep seems about ready to welcome me in its embrace very soon, but I'm trying to stay awake for Jin, Taehyung and Jungkook.

Also, the faster I sleep, the sooner I wake up and that means more studying. As much as I was ready to study without any break earlier, now the simple idea of it makes me feel sick.

Jimin looks up to me and his eyes crease gently. "You're allowed to fall asleep, baby, you look ready to pass out" he whispers as his hand comes to cup my cheek. I yawn and shake my head, trying to fight off the lull that slowly takes over me.

"I want to welcome them back when they arrive. They're doing this because of me after all" I let out between another yawn. "Because of you sounds like they were forced to do it, let's say that they're doing this for you instead" Namjoon counters my words and I roll my eyes at him playfully. "The result ends up being the same, Joonie" I say, hear his chuckle as he sets the book down next to him.

As if on cue, the front door opens and the sound of bags being put down reach my ears. Although a part of me wishes to get up to get to them, Yoongi's warmth is definitely hard to get away from, my head comfortably nestled in the nook of his neck.

"We're back" Jungkook says before walking in the room with a few bags in hands. His eyes soften and become a little sad as he looks at us, which I find weird, but decide to put that on me being tired. "You all look like a comfy bunch" he says as the other two join him with similar bags in hands. "Aww, look at her, she's barely awake" Jin coos and Taehyung makes his way to me with bright eyes.

Without warning, he bends down and kisses my forehead, the act making me close my eyes as his warmth transfers to my whole body, heart filling up with love. "Don't force yourself to stay awake, baby girl, we'll put you to bed once we're done with your room" he murmurs after leaning back to gaze at me.

I hum, already relaxed by the fact that they're all at home now and allow my eyes to shut again as Jimin snuggles against my stomach, his hands meeting behind Yoongi's back. I hear a chuckle but it now sounds so far away.

"Want to sleep alone tonight, doll?". I shake my head and fall asleep.

Slowly growing aware of the arms tightly wrapped around me and of the sweet flowery smell surrounding me like a blanket, mixed with the smell of trees, I hum in satisfaction. I feel something move behind me because a hard surface settles flat against my back, pushing me deeper into another hard surface in front of me.

Oh my. Just let me stay here forever. I promise I'll be quiet, but please let me stay here.

"Your pulse is getting quicker, peach".

Shit.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I mumble, trying to keep my eyes shut, but I become only too aware of the fingers now stroking the exposed skin of my waist, my shirt having slid up a little. Tingles and chills go through my body, which I know he can feel on my skin. His deep raspy chuckles does things to my heart.

"Namjoon, please" I whine quietly, not willing to fully wake up just yet. "Okay, okay, sorry" he apologizes, an amused tone to his voice. The body behind me squirms a little before a puff of breath hits my neck, followed by a breath in.
