It Had To Be You

Ao3 by : dinominmi

Summary :

A couple of guys, sure.

A couple of pals, oh yeah.

A couple of coworkers, most definitely.

But two people in an exclusive romantic relationship with each other?

Certainly not.

—

Where coworkers Taehyung and Yoongi get mistaken for a couple by their boss and end up getting invited to a couples only company retreat, only to find themselves wishing their fake relationship was actually a real one.

Having a work friend is nice, someone you can wheel your desk chair over to and ask for help, or even just talk to when the days get long and tough. Someone you can eat lunch with so that you can order the family style entrees in the middle of the day and not have to look completely crazy trying to devour it on your own. Or even someone who you can share your extra items with, when it turns out they come in packs of two and not just one.

It was for all of these reasons that Taehyung was really grateful to have Yoongi as his office mate. Their desks set right next to each other so that he could easily reach out and poke the blonde whenever he wanted his attention.

Like today.

"Yoongi," Taehyung drags the last syllable out in a melodic voice, splitting his mouth with an over-exaggerated grin, "Guess who has a present for you?"

He does this cute little hip wiggle as Yoongi doesn't even look up from his computer screen to respond in a distracted voice, "What did you order this time Tae?" He sighs out, "I think I have enough scrubbing towels, so please spare me. Why do those things come in such large packages anyway?" He grumbles to himself.

"No no, dear Yoongi," Taehyung flourishes with his empty hand, the other hidden behind his back with Yoongi's present, "This one is something I'm sure you don't have in your collection of Kim Taehyung artifacts."

Yoongi swivels in his chair now, facing Taehyung to give him his whole attention, rolling his eyes playfully despite the shy smile that grows on his lips.

Taehyung knows he secretly loves getting these little gifts– and maybe he himself likes that demure pleased expression on his face so much that he purposely tries to order items that come in packs of more than one just to see it again.

Maybe.

He just really likes to see his friend happy, is that such a crime?

"Alright, so what is it this time?" Yoongi quips with a raised brow, "Fuzzy socks? Body lotion? Laundry detergent?"

"Mmm," He hums while tapping his chin with his finger in fake consideration, "No, no, and no! This item's natural habitat is the kitchen," He drops a hint with another excited itch vibrating across his skin.

He can't help but anticipate Yoongi's reaction to this silly gift. Sure it was completely functional, but it was the design that had Taehyung absolutely needing to buy it. It just made him laugh.

"Oh come on," Yoongi groans out, pouting a little petulantly, "Just show me what it is, I'm too hungry to be able to use my brain at full capacity right now."

Taehyung just laughs out and grins, easily conceding as he thinks through the catalog of lunch places the two of them can go to later, "Alright, eyes closed, you know the drill."
