A Dangerous Mind [God Taehyung x Prince Jungkook]

Retribution

After a few hours had slipped by, Taehyung awoke with a jolt when a taunting nightmare of his prince being tortured by merciless Gods, tormented him. Jungkook quickly reached for him, to soothe him softly but Taehyung sat up and stared at him with a puzzled expression. He had been convinced that he had lost him, and his heart ached at the memory of the nightmare.

"Taehyung, what is it?" Jungkook asked in a gentle voice, and Taehyung tried to forget it with a shake of his head. The prince reached for him again, his lips pressing against the God's jaw line and he trailed light kisses to his ear which made Taehyung quickly relax with a smile. "Who should I lock in a frozen box for you?" Jungkook asked, his voice slightly hoarse and though there was a threat in there, Taehyung was overwhelmed by the affection.

Instead of answering his question, he pulled him into a deep kiss and their lips moved together, lightly nipping as they caved into their desires. It was a loving kiss, and Taehyung quickly realized how much he would be willing to do for Jungkook.

When they pulled away, Jungkook leaned his forehead against Taehyung's, and he smiled as he whispered, "Are you ready to ruin the Gods today?"

Taehyung stilled, a question at the tip of his tongue as he stared at the prince, "Jungkook, remember that we had a deal in this. I liberated you from that wretched family, and you will do the same for me. What is it that you want for aiding me? You told me that you would decide later, and I want to know if you've decided—" his eyes softened when Jungkook seemed perplexed. The prince could only envision a future with Taehyung in it— it frightened him how dependent he became of him. He wanted to voice it, to tell Taehyung what he truly wanted, but something held him back.

He thought of Taehyung's previous words where he didn't intend on returning to Earth, and he didn't want to persuade him to stay if that wasn't his desire. He thought closely of what he wanted, and he smiled lightly as he whispered, "I just want to be free— I do not wish to rule as a prince or a king as I was coerced into the lifestyle..." his voice drifted, and he felt too vulnerable when Taehyung's eyes met his. "But the more that I think about it, the more that I realize that I could have ruled so differently than my captors. I could have made an impact on Earth— maybe it's delusional—" he broke a weak smile and Taehyung lightly pressed his hand on his forearm.

"No, it isn't delusional." He encouraged gently and as he smiled he whispered, "Do you wish to be a king, Jungkook? You could make an impact on this world, and with your powers, you would be formidable." He paused lightly, a frown etched into his brows as he realized, "But it would place a target on your back."

"I do not wish to be king. I have considered this since we killed that disgusting pig of a king, and I want to keep targeting them. I want you to make me immortal—"

Taehyung's heart nearly jumped out of his chest. Jungkook would have lived a long life due to his powers giving him strength, but eventually he would grow old. Taehyung could assume his life expectancy would be perhaps a century, but if Jungkook were immortal that meant they could— he forced any thoughts of them away. "Immortality is a very long time." Taehyung whispered sadly and Jungkook lightly cupped his face before he pulled in to kiss his forehead.

"I want to live my life destroying thrones, Taehyung. I want to free this world of monarchy. I want the people to be able to govern themselves. That's what I want," he smiled softly, and his heart stilled as he added, "I know that you intend on staying away from Earth, but I do hope that you'd visit...me. Every now and then." He added quickly, not wanting to sound desperate.

"Depending I suppose on what happens after..." his voice drifted and a familiar haunting image flashed in his mind; the one that plagued his nightmares. He could lose Jungkook to his family— as they would immediately target him, and he wanted to keep him safe. He would do anything to keep him safe which meant he needed him far away from his family.
