Jungkook - service dog bam

taken from my AO3 account, where i'm slightly more active lol. people wanted me to upload it here so here it is. 

*lick* *lick* *lick* *lick*

Jungkook sniffed, pulling his hands away to rest them on Bam's head. Bam continued to lick, bringing jungkook back to reality. Jungkook sighed as he stroked his dog's soft head and let him lick away at his face. He chuckled a little.

"Ok, at ease." He said, and Bam stopped his licking with a wagging tail. Jungkook massaged his hears with a smile, and then relaxed his legs down from where they were held tightly to his chest. He taps his thigh with a closed fist. "Pressure."

Bam immediately responds, lying over jungkooks legs. His tail wags against the floor. He loves helping jungkook.

"good boy." Jungkook praises, stroking over his smooth head again. He sniffles and wipes away the remaining tears while the pressure of Bam lying on his legs helps to soothe him more.

After a little while, jungkook commanded Bam off is legs and stood up, going back to his desk. He saw the unfinished music track still on the computer, exactly where he'd left it, just as a meltdown started. He used to get meltdowns badly, they seemed to last for forever, but ever since getting Bam, sometimes he can even stop them before they start. Bam has been a life saver, to put it simply.

When Jungkook first met Bam, he was unsure. He loved dogs, of course, but he just didn't believe that a dog would be able to ease his meltdowns. He didn't think anything would ever help. But alas, Bam proved him wrong. Almost straight away, Bam proved him wrong.

The first night of training Jungkook was sat in the training centre dorm room, with Bam sat happily on the floor. He stared down at Bam, and felt intensely out of place. It felt wrong. Everyone else there were kids. He was an adult. He felt shameful that he needed a service dog to manage his autism as an adult. He started to sniffle, but it took no time for Bam to go into work mode. He nudged his thigh with his nose and looked up at him with those bright eyes, tail wagging. He nudged his hand with his nose, trying to encourage jungkook to pet him, but jungkook resisted. But Bam new what to do. He hopped his front paws up onto the bed so he was level with jungkooks face and started licking.

Jungkook started to giggle, pushing Bam off the bed and sitting down on the floor. Bam didn't even have to be prompted, as he laid down on his legs. Jungkook felt relieved as the weight of Bam pressed down on his legs.

"Maybe you were a good idea."

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

"Bam!" Jungkook shakes the harness, and Bam immediately runs over, walking into it. Jungkook straps it on and then ruffles his head. "Good boy"

Bam pants patiently, eager to do his job, as jungkook takes the leash and walks out the door.

(A/N: lets just pretend this is a universe where they can go outside without getting mobbed lmao)

Ever since getting Bam jungkook feels more confident in public. A big dog by his side helps to prompt those around him to give him more space, and the clear service dog vest helps to inform the people around of jungkooks differences. One of Bam's main tasks is circling jungkook in busy spaces. If jungkook is in a busy crowd, Bam will start to walk circles around jungkook, keeping people away and letting jungkook have his space.

Today seemed to be an especially busy day, as Bam started circling right away. As much as jungkook loved that bam was protecting him. It was annoying when he had to keep switching the leash around him. Especially when he wasn't yet overwhelmed by the crowd.

"Ok, at ease. Good boy." He praises, giving Bam a small treat in hopes it will stop him from circling for a while.

He walks into the shop, and squints at the bright lights. Bam immediately notices, nudging him with his nose. Jungkook was a little too stubborn, however.

"Ok, at ease." He says, a little annoyed. He just wanted to get what he needed and get out, but bam kept nudging. "Its ok, Bam, at ease" Jungkook said, doing the hand signal at the same time, and Bam whined a little, but obeyed the command, and stopped.

Jungkook sighed, quickly grabbing the things he needed. However he overestimated how much he could hold, and ended up dropping something. Bam quickly picked it up with his teeth, and looked up at jungkook proudly.

"Thanks bam. Can you carry?" Jungkook asked, doing the command, and they continued to walk through the store, with Bam carrying the item in his mouth. While walking through the aisles, jungkook saw another thing they needed, but he still didn't have the hands.

"Bam-a, can you get that?" He points to it, luckily it's on a lower shelf, and Bam manages to carry it in his mouth along with the other item. They head to the checkouts, self service of course, and pay. The scanners beep loudly, making jungkook wince a little every time. Bam starts tugging on the lead, wanting to get jungkook out of a situation he recognised as overwhelming.

"Its Ok bam, just a few more, ok?" He says, but bam keeps tugging. People stare, narrowing their eyes at him. One person has the audacity to confront him.

"Is that a fake service dog? real service dogs don't pull like that."

Jungkook stared wide eyed, and Bam immediately stopped pulling, and stood between jungkook and the stranger.

"Its one of his tasks, he pulls if he recognises a situation where i may get overwhelmed, to try and get me out of that situation." Jungkook simply explained. The stranger just rolled their eyes, going to their own self service checkout. Jungkook praises Bam quickly, and finished checking out, eager to get out.

He hands one of the bags to Bam to carry, and carries the other one himself. Bam diligently holds the bag in his mouth as he walks next to jungkook, tail still wagging. His tail never stops.

Jungkook gets home, and shuts the door with a sigh. Bam drops the bag, and immediately starts nudging jungkooks palm and licking it. He realises that he's gotten to use to ignoring Bam's warnings, and dismissing him when he tries to do his job. He gives in to Bam's alerts, placing the bag down and walking into the living room, sitting on the floor. He pats his thigh, and Bam is happy to lay over his legs, doing deep pressure.

"You're too smart, you are, bam." Jungkook says, with a slight chuckle. "You know me better than I know myself."

Namjoon walks in, seeing bam laying over jungkooks legs, and smiles. He's so happy jungkook has Bam now.

"You ok kookie? Did something happen while you were out?"

"The usual. Shops are overwhelming. Bam was just doing his job, but i kept brushing it off, and then someone saw him pulling and accused me of having a fake service dog."

"Man, I hate it when people do that. They just don't realise pulling can be a task sometimes." Jungkook nodded, stroking Bam's head, and then holding his hand out to let him lick it.

"You know we can go out and get this stuff, you don't have to." Namjoon offered, but jungkook shook his head.

"If I don't go out, then Bam can't do is job. Plus, i may be autistic, but i don't want to be a complete recluse. I do like going outside, its just a bit overwhelming sometimes."

Namjoon nods, going to get the discarded bags and put it away, leaving jungkook and Bam in peace.

Jungkook ushers bam off him, and then moves to lie down on the floor, and then taps his chest. "pressure"

Bam eagerly lays onto of jungkooks chest. Bam loves it, since he has easy access to lick away at his face. Jungkook rarely does it, but sometimes he feels like he needs pressure on his chest. He chuckles as Bam licks away.

Bam really is a lifesaver.
