Third Person's POV

The bleak, empty stretch of blackness before Taehyung stretched out like a void and may as well be if it weren't for the feeling of warmth on the top of his thigh and lower abdomen. His long, clawed fingers were entwined between the threads of hair of the boy resting over his lap. He drew them through, brushing the strands and massaging his scalp as he went.  

The action drew small grunts from below and he twisted Jungkook's head to push against the action affectionately. Although he could not see his appearance, the memory of his partner's hair was embedded into the depths of his mind. He was beautiful, his Jungkook. This moment between them would be perfect if it were not for the one vital flaw.

His love was bleeding too much in his arms and the situation currently was hopeless. 

The wet warmth of the crimson blood welling from Jungkook's stomach was staining Taehyung's uniform and it would surely stain the dark skin underneath. Jungkook won against a much more stronger opponent which was commendable. 

It wasn't just his luck. His love is a strong warrior. 

Jungkook shifted in his place on Taehyung's lap and his eyes twitched in delayed response.  His soft pants filled the emptiness of the static air around the pair, bringing Taehyung out from his thoughts.  

His arms were stiff as he moved to caress his slightly pale face which was slick with cold, damp sweat. 

"Hey, Jungkookie" He said to him teasingly, though him words held no bite behind them. It drew a delicate chuckle from the aforementioned and something that prompted a tickling warmth in Taehyung's chest.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked. 

"Mm-" Jungkook responded weakly, his hand enclosing itself around one of Taehyung's own.  

"Us. The two of us together" This brought a smile to Taehyung's face and his grip on the younger's clammy hand tightened, but he listened nonetheless.  

"I was remembering everything that happened since I met you, I never thought I would fall in love with the prince of Sankori" 

He paused because a rippling cough tore through his throat, shocking Taehyung out from his blissful fantasy. His hand immediately went to Jungkook's back, rubbing in gentle and smooth circles in a futile attempt to make him feel better. 

After what seemed like hours, Jungkook seemed to settle down and he did not hesitate to get back on track. 

"We used to fight so much for silly things" He said in a rough voice, tangling his blunt fingers in Taehyung's rough textured hair, only to have him bring his own up to embrace it.  

"When you confessed, I was scared that you were lying. That you would leave me because I didn't want to expect that you would ever love or I would ever love you-" 

His shoulders shook with faint sobs as he continued.  

"You found me and saved me in an attack" Taehyung was quiet, and as soon as Jungkook stopped talking, the suffocating silence returned to push him into the floor. It felt like they were in the darkness for days but it wasn't really that long. 

"Taehyungie" He spoke up again, jolting in his cold sweat.  

His eyes shifted downwards, searching for any trace of the man he loved. He just wanted to see him. 

"Taehyungie, they're coming for us soon, right? Yoongi hyung and Jimin hyung. They'll find us, right?" Tears sprung from his Bambi eyes, betraying him as they slipped down the slope of his face.

Before they rolled off his chin, he swiped them away with his one free hand and pressed his nose against the Taehyung's hair he loved so much.

"Yes" Taehyung mumbled quietly, in all honesty. Jungkook was definitely delirious now. It wouldn't be long now. 

"Yes, they're on their way now, they will be here soon. I still need to properly introduce you to my hyungs remember?" 

"Yeah" Jungkook responded in a hollow voice. He couldn't tell for sure but Taehyung could swear that he snuggled closer into his stomach and his hand somehow found its place pressed against his cheek.  

"We will be okay, I won't let him harm you anymore, I promise" Taehyung said with a rather painful huff, holding back the fresh tears behind his eyes.  

"You're so brave, it's unfair. Jungkookie, you do so much for everyone and I love you for that" 

"My favorite memory is when you told me you loved me back and I love you baby just like you do. Right, Jungkookie?" Taehyung's ramblings came to an abrupt stop. 

"Jungkookie?" 

"Yeah" 

"I am sorry for this baby, I am sorry you had to go through this. I am so so sorry but I promise you that I will keep you safe now, do you trust me?"

"Of course I do Taehyungie and none of this is your fault. Don't feel guilty for whatever happened. Yoongi hyung and Jimin hyung will find us here soon and we will go back safely, it would be safe then and we are together now so don't worry about anything, it's not your fault" Jungkook whispered quietly yet sweetly, he was being honest with his words right now. 

None of this was Taehyung's fault. 

"Taehyung! Jungkook!" They heard yelling and Taehyung stood up, helping Jungkook up as they walked out from their hiding spot. 

There were five men looking at them with a sad face but it was okay, it was all okay.

They were safe now.
