They stare at each other, wondering what is going on in the other's head. Will it be okay? It's just a kiss, but both have feelings for one another. With a nudge from their hyung behind them, they come back to reality.
Jeongguk clears his throat, while Taehyung licks his lips. They're gonna do it, everyone can see it in their eyes.
It becomes silent in the room, you would be able to hear a pin drop. Their faces come closer at a snail's pace. Both shut their eyes, stop breathing and can hear their own and the other's heart beating. They have imagined this moment several times, but not one of those had their friends watching them closely and with probably high expectations and phones out to take videos or pictures.
The gap closes, their lips touch in a gentle kiss. Bubbles softly plop in their stomachs and they smile. Neither knows who begins to move their lips first, but soon enough the kiss deepens. Both mouths slightly open, breathing mingled.
Jeongguk snakes his arms around Taehyung's neck and Taehyung places his palms on Jeongguk's hips. They pull each other even closer until their chests are touching. Both heads are tilted for better access.
Taehyung nibbles on Jeongguk's lower lip, earning a breathy, soft moan. Seconds later their tongues tangle. There's no fight for dominance. It's gentle, intimate and the best feeling in the world to be this close to the one you love, after pining for years.
When they part, it happens in steps. First they withdraw tongues, continue to kiss passionately open mouths which turn into lingering pecks and finally end by connected foreheads and happy smiles.
"Wow." Taehyung finds his voice first. "The best kiss I've ever had."
Jeongguk hums, searching for his lips to reconnect them.
Both forget about everything as soon as they begin to make out again.
Seokjin puts the mistletoe back on the table. He wasn't still holding it over them, but he was too busy grinning while watching his friends. Now he feels a little like a creep and averts his gaze to walk over to the others. "Let's leave them alone. We did a great job." He pats Hoseok's back to make him move.
The busy pair hears a door get slammed shut and they come to the conclusion that they're left alone. Taehyung squeezes Jeongguk's hips and looks at him shyly. "Hey."
"Hey." Comes back as an answer from a contented Jeongguk. "I liked it, a lot." He adds and hopes that he's not the only one thinking that way.
"I did too. If you want, can we continue in the bedroom?" Taehyung goes all out, he doesn't have anything to lose anymore. The first step is done and he surprisingly feels confident.
Jeongguk only nods, biting his lower lip to suppress a smile.
They hold hands while going upstairs. No one notices that they forgot about reading the letters.
Even if Taehyung doesn't want to let go of Jeongguk's hand, he has to. "I'll change in the bathroom, and be right back." A reserved peck gets placed on Jeongguk's scar, before he disappears behind the door.
Without wasting a second, Jeongguk's undressing in record time and soon enough is lying in his pajamas on their bed. One leg set up while he's on his side, palm keeping his head up in the air. As he realizes how this must look, it's already too late.
Taehyung steps out of the bathroom, covering his mouth with his hand to prevent a laugh. "Who do you wanna seduce, baby?" Maybe the pet name slipped, but does he regret it? No. Jeongguk's expression is priceless. His eyes grew big and his mouth fell open. He sat up and it looks like he's thinking of a comeback.
Jeongguk isn't sure if Taehyung is aware of what he just called him or not. A lot of time has already gone by and no matter what he'd say now, it would be weird, probably. That's why Jeongguk stays silent and slips to the edge of the bed to pull his best friend between his legs. His first instinct is to bury his face into his stomach and that's exactly what he's doing.
Taehyung threads his fingers through his long hair, enjoying the gentle moment. They look like boyfriends doing couple stuff. It's nice, and it's all he has ever wanted, needed. He feels two arms around his waist, getting hugged tightly. Jeongguk's hot breath on his belly warms his skin through the thin fabric. He could stay like that forever, but he wants to have him in his arms, too. "Guk, let's lie down." Jeongguk shakes his head, confusing Taehyung. "What's wrong?"
"Not Guk, I like 'baby' more." He looks up at him but can't hold his gaze, so he continues to hide his face in Taehyung's pajamas.
Taehyung closes his eyes, calming his heart down. This is too much, he can't quite explain the feeling he feels right now. It's warm, secure, there's longing but also a little bit of uncertainty. It maybe doesn't make sense, but it doesn't have to, for now. The need to talk soon, about them, about what happened and what they're going to do. Taehyung takes one step back to signal that he wants to look at him. "Baby, let's cuddle, and I wanna kiss you again. Is that okay?"
Jeongguk leans back and rests on his forearms, which are on the mattress. He's looking up at him with a dreamy expression. "Yeah, I want that too, hyungie."
With his tattoos, eyebrow and lip piercing and his muscular body on display, one might think he looks scary, but Jeongguk is a softy most of the time. Taehyung has known him for as long as he can remember and knows that Jeongguk has many sides. If he wants, he can be seductive, wild and sexy, or, and that's his more common side; playful, gentle, a brat and sometimes even whiney. As of right now, he's soft and it's exactly what he wants him to be.
Taehyung hesitates for a second, because he isn't sure if he should crawl on top of Jeongguk or lay down next to him. Before he can make up his mind, Jeongguk has already pulled him down. He slides together with him up the bed, until they reach the pillow and then turns them to the side, to make them face each other.
The gasp gets stuck in Taehyung's throat. Everything happened too fast and it shows that Jeongguk can combine different characteristics very well. Strong, caring, playful and hot. He's in love with an incredible man. "Baby…"
"Kiss me." Jeongguk interrupts him, leaning in, but waits for the other to finally close the gap. When he feels the soft lips against his own again, he sighs satisfied and reciprocates the kiss.
They keep it gentle and full of emotions until tiredness overcomes them. Even the best moments have to come to an end at some point, in their case, it's when Jeongguk begins to moan into Taehyung's mouth.
Taehyung leans back, chuckles when Jeongguk tries to catch his lips again after already missing them. "Let's sleep, baby."
With a pout and closed eyes, Jeongguk gives him one last peck to end the day. "Okay, goodnight hyung." His voice sounds a little raspy and sleepy. He waits till Taehyung gets comfortable on his back, so that he can throw a leg over both of his' and lay an arm over his belly. With one eye now open, he looks up at his best friend with a smile and then rests his head on the older's collarbone.
"Goodnight, Guk." Taehyung places a kiss on top of Jeongguk's head, closing his eyes as well. Tomorrow they'll have to endure the comments and questions of their hyungs, that's for sure, and for that they need to be well rested.
