The Luna

The Yearning, Oh God, the Yearning

The market was silent for a second before exploding in noise. There was clapping, cheering and a whole lot of chatter about their new leader.

"He's so young, isn't he?"

"I didn't even know he'd presented yet."

"We should have seen this one coming."

"I called it!"

Jimin and Taehyung took no notice of the chaos around them, they only had eyes for each other. Taehyung leaned down and gently tilted Jimin's chin up. He gave the star-struck boy a small nod. Jimin flung himself at his alpha, wrapping his arms around his neck. Taehyung inhaled Jimin's sweet scent and curled his arms around the omega.

"My Luna," he muttered, "you're mine, only mine."

Jimin practically purred in his ear.

In the distance, Jimin's family stood on their tiptoes to see what was going on. At the sight of their son and Taehyung in a tight embrace, Jimin's mother was brought to tears. She had hoped it would be Taehyung, she really had.

Taehyung peeled himself away from Jimin, resulting in a whine from the boy. Taehyung took his hand before standing on a wooden crate. He beamed at his pack.

"I really wasn't expecting this," he addressed them, "but I am so honored, so proud, to be your next leader. I promise to lead you well."

Jimin stared up at him, awe-struck. Taehyung looked so natural speaking to the pack in his deep, soothing voice. The crowd were clearly under his spell too. They all bowed in respect. The old leader made his way slowly through the crowd to stand before Taehyung. He had a twinkle in his eye as he spoke.

"Kim Taehyung, I knew there was something special about you. I am satisfied that our pack will be in good hands. I'm sure the both of you,' he nodded towards Jimin, 'will be a force to be reckoned with."

The two smiled at their leader.

"But before that,' he continued, 'you have a lot of training to do. And, you both must finish school before taking on responsibilities."

Taehyung failed to hide his dismay, earning a laugh from the crowd. Jimin could barely hear what the leader was saying. All his attention was on the alpha beside him. He couldn't understand what was happening when he felt hands pull him away from Taehyung. He recognized his mother's voice but couldn't process the words she spoke.

"Come on, Jimin. You're still in heat, sweetheart. Taehyung must attend a council meeting now. Let's get you home."

Bleary-eyed, he made his way home with the help of his family. Once home and in bed, Jimin asked multiple times for Taehyung. No matter how many times his mother explained it, he still couldn't understand.

He fell asleep softly crying, whispering Taehyung's name.

----------------------

Taehyung wasn't faring much better. Except, of course, he couldn't cry and beg for his Luna. He had to sit through the entire council meeting, listening to the elders and discussing logistics. They agreed that Taehyung would shadow the current leader until he was confident enough to take over everything himself. The leader looked gleeful at the thought of his retirement. Don't get me wrong, Taehyung was excited to be the leader, and understood the importance of ironing out the details, but at the same time, he was also absolutely desperate to hightail it out of there and go find his Luna. Finally, once he was free to go, he tried not to look too eager as he rose from his seat and exited the room. Still, the elders all gave him knowing smiles.

Jimin awoke many hours later. It was past midnight and the house was quiet. He felt calm, content and warm. He sighed happily and snuggled into the warm chest beside him. Oh, that's why he felt so good. Taehyung had crawled into Jimin's bed, pulled the boy in close to him and immediately went to sleep. Whenever he awoke, he would simply stare in awe at the sleeping beauty beside him and drift off to sleep again. He blinked his eyes open and smiled lazily at his omega. Jimin traced his finger on Taehyung's chest.

"You're here," he breathed.

"I'm here."

"How do you feel?"

"I feel good, Jimin. Amazing, even."

Jimin smiled softly.

"Me too."

They were quiet for a moment.

"I'm so glad it's you, Taehyungie."

"I'm glad too, baby, I really am."

Taehyung placed a tender kiss on Jimin's forehead. Jimin looked up at him.

"Do that again, please" he whispered.

Taehyung kissed Jimin's forehead, followed by his nose, his left cheek and his right cheek. Jimin held back a whimper at the look in his alpha's eyes. Taehyung burned for him. Slowly, he pushed Jimin onto his back and pressed his body on his. Taehyung felt delirious at the desperate look in his Luna's hooded eyes. Jimin ached for Taehyung.

It was gentle at first. Taehyung moved his lips softly on Jimin's. He took a breath and tilted his head the other way, capturing Jimin's plump lips once again. When Jimin let out a breathy moan, Taehyung lost his grip on his self restraint. He licked his way into Jimin's warm, wet mouth and found the omega's tongue. Taehyung groaned as Jimin pulled at his hair. Their kiss was hot and messy and drove them insane. Jimin pulled back, a wild look in his eyes.

"Mark me, Tae."

Taehyung had never heard a more beautiful sentence.

He dove his head down and began leaving hot, opened mouth kisses on Jimin's neck. The omega threw his head back. His breathing became ragged as Taehyung sucked on his sweet-spot.

"Hold my hand, angel."

Jimin squeezed Taehyung's hand above his head. At the feel of Taehyung's teeth on his skin between his shoulder and his neck, Jimin gasped. As his mate's teeth sank in, he whined in pain. The mark felt like fire as it burned into his skin. Taehyung provided him with some relief as he licked at it.

"You did amazing, baby, well done," he hushed before kissing Jimin softly. "It looks so good on you, so beautiful, angel."

With the fresh crescent moon mark gifted to him by his mate on his skin, Jimin felt complete.

"I love you, Tae-tae," he mumbled.

"I love you too, my baby."

Jimin's eyes fluttered shut and he was asleep within seconds.
