EL & MIKE [ONE-SHOT]

⟬⟭

The slimly green monster flew through the window. "What the hell.." Yoongi whispered while kicking shattered glass pieces.

"Demo-dog." Hoseok muttered.

"Is it dead?" Jungkook asked? They all scooted behind Namjoon who kicked it.

"Yeah it looks pretty damn dead to me." Namjoon rested his gun and turned towards the door.

The door knob rattled repeatedly, after a few minutes whoever was there finally figured out that it was locked.

The locks turned and the slide lock slid. "Lift your guns." Namjoon whispered and aimed towards the door. Everyone with a weapon mirrored his actions and everyone who didn't stood behind.

A small boy with a bloody nose and slicked back blond hair entered and panted.

"Jimin.." Jungkook faltered towards the shorter male, tears forming in both of their eyes. 353 days. That's how longs it's been since the two had seen each other.

"Jungkook." Jimin fell into the hug and closed his eyes. They've missed each other so much they completely shut the others out. Was now really the time to be doing this? No. Did they care? Also no.

"Is that..?" Taehyung questioned and look over at Hoseok. Taehyung is new to their friend group or as they call it, their "party." he's never met Jimin, he's only heard stories.

"Yeah." Hoseok whispered.

"I never stopped looking for you hyung.. I called every night for-"

"three hundred fifty three days. I listen kook-ah.." Jimin wiped the blood off his nose and smiled a sad smile.
They kept track.

"Why didn't you tell me you were there? I just wanted to know if you were okay.." Jimin glanced at Namjoon and opened his mouth to speak.

"I wouldn't let him." Namjoon interrupted and stepped up to the pair.

Namjoon had been taking care of Jimin for the past year. Making sure he stayed inside and had no contact with anyone but him. It was for safety reasons. It pained him to keep Jimin away from his favorite person but he did what he had to do to keep them both safe and he would never change what he did. Even if it meant Jungkook hated him.

Jungkook looked at Namjoon in disbelief.

"Where the hell have you been Jimin." Namjoon walked pass Jungkook and pulled Jimin into a hug. "Where have you been?" Jimin answered in a half angry half hurt voice. Before all of this went down, Jimin and Namjoon had an argument about Jimin leaving the house to see Jungkook.

Things got heated. They said some things they both regretted.

"The fuck do you mean you've been hiding him?"

Namjoon sighed and pinched his nose bridge. He knew once Jungkook found out he'd be pissed and he was prepared for anything he threw at him... literally. "You've been hiding him this whole time!" Jungkook shoved the taller.

"Hey! Lets talk about this.. Alone." Namjoon looked at their friends and took Jungkook into the backroom.

"Kook-ah I was just protecting him." Namjoon spoke softly as he closed the door. Everyone in the house could feel and hear Jungkooks anger.

"Protecting him!? Is that what you wanna call it?"

"Listen to me- The more people that know about him, the more danger he's in and the more danger you and your family are in--" Jungkook scoffed and ran a hand through his damp hair.

"So should I be thanking you?!" Namjoon shook his head and stepped closer to Jungkook.

"I'm not asking you to thank me kid! I'm asking you to understand."

"I don't fucking understand Namjoon!" Namjoon was begging to lose his temper. He couldn't help but be upset that Jungkook couldn't see his efforts to keep him and everyone he loved safe.

"That's fine JK just do not blame him! He's already upset enough as it is." Jungkook looked at him like he had just said the dumbest thing anyone has ever said to him. Why would be blame Jimin? He would never blame Jimin because he knows it isn't his fault.

"I don't blame him! I blame you! I blame you!" Jungkook forcefully poked his fingers into the elders chest.

"That's okay, kid. That's okay." Namjoon held up his hands and nodded.

"No Namjoon! Nothing about this is okay! You kept him away from me for a whole fucking year knowing how much I missed him- How much I needed him! And you just let me go on thinking he fucking died?! You're a piece of shit." He punched his chest in anger.

"Oh, jeez--" Namjoon backed up and held him hands up. Like I said he was prepared for anything Jungkook threw at him.

"You are a stupid, disgusting, lying piece of shit!" Jungkook repeatedly punched the elders stomach and cried.

He was hurt and he was hurt bad. He felt betrayed by the one person he could truly trust. "Liar! Liar! Liar!" Jungkook punched until Namjoon was forced against the door.

"Stop it. It's okay." Namjoon struggled to wrap his arms around Jungkook. "You liar! How could you!" His punches got softer as Namjoon guided him into his chest and held his head under his chin. Jungkook repeated "Liar!" and sobbed softly into Namjoons chest.

"You're okay kid. You're okay." Namjoon whispered and softly kissed Jungkooks head.

"I'm sorry kid."

A small knock was at the door, "Jungkook.." Jimin whispered. Namjoon lifted the both of them off the door and let him in.

"Let me talk to him." Jimin pulled Jungkook away from the elder and watched him leave.

"Kook-ah look at me." Jimin sniffled and wiped the ravens tears.

"I'm here now okay? And look i've got hair!" Jungkook nodded and hugged Jimin like it was the last thing he'd ever do.

"I missed you so much hyung. Promise me you'll never leave me again."

"I promise. Friends don't lie. Now, I have something very important to do. Im gonna go with Namjoon okay? I need you to stay here though." Jungkook pulled out and looked at Jimin like he was stupid.

"No.. I just- just got you back Jimin! I am not lett-letting you go there. Especially not without me! I cannot lose you again!" Jungkooks voice was brittle. He would rather go to Hawkins labs himself and sew the gate closed himself before letting Jimin go back there.

"Jimin! Lets go!" Namjoon shouted from the living room.

"Jimin please no.." Jimin nodded and sniffled. "Kookie i'll be back. I promise. Friends don't lie." He pulled away and headed towards the door.

"Jimin." Jungkook pulled the elder back and kissed him. If he was going to let Jimin go he was going to do this. "Be safe." Jimin nodded and stumbled out the door.

He's never kissed anyone before but he's glad Jungkook was his first.

"Holy shit I just kissed him.." He whispered to himself and softly touched his lips. "Wow." he smiled and left the house.

"Now to save the world."
