Rounding the corner, taehyung made his way between aisles of books in search of a particular person who texted him to remind him of their usual meet- up in the library after his last class.
Taehyung was excited to see his best friend after a long day of torturous lessons but the class ended a bit late than expected and by the time he exited the classroom after waving his friends good bye, he took a look at his watch to find that he was late by 25 minutes to his arrangement with Park Jimin.
So taehyung wasted no time in sprinting across the campus to the block situated literally on the other side and had atleast bumped into seven people in his haste to reach jimin.
But he was quick to correct his disheveled state once he stepped inside the library and gave a quick wave to the beta seated on the front desk before making his way down the aisles to where he supposed jimin would be.
Panting slightly and ignoring the weird glances from other occupants in the place, taehyung sniffed the air in hopes to get a whiff of the familiar scent. Soon his nose caught up the faint yet sweet smell of peaches.
Seems like the fragrance is coming from the shelves on the right corner of the book room.
Ha, jimin and his love for history.
Shaking his head lightly taehyung adjusted the bag on his shoulder and jogged up to the history section, ecstatic and elated to see jimin but the air inside his lungs left in a single whoosh when his eyes landed on the small male reaching up on his tiptoes to retrieve a book from the top shelf.
Jimin was wearing a fluffy sweater with streaks of pink, yellow and violet blending together and the hem of his sweater rode up a bit when he stretched, which unfortunately gave taehyung a clear view of his hips that looked more prominent with the black skinny jeans he wore.
'Mate' his brain began blaring annoyingly in his head, the alpha in him restless and yearning.
Taehyung chastised his wolf for longing for someone who was too perfect for this world...too perfect for him.
But taehyung couldn't contain his alpha from swooning when he took notice of jimin' s futile attempts to fetch the book from the shelf, amused when he saw his fingers grazing but still unable to grasp or pull them out of the stacks of books up ahead.
Jimin's eyebrows furrowed in frustration, a huff leaving his lips with another failed effort.
His hands fell back to his side and taehyung saw him looking back at traitorous book with a cute pout like he is actually trying to bring the book down with his adorableness.
'Nah Park Jimin, not everyone is gonna fall for your charms like me' taehyung thought when jimin began directing his puppy eyes at the thick book.
Taehyung thinks jimin resembles a kicked puppy, what with his ears flattened and tail pressed to his legs if he were in his wolf form, so with a fond laugh, taehyung walked upto jimin and reached over his head to fetch the book.
This way taehyung's chest collided with jimin's back when he stretched for the book, their bodies moving in sync and taehyung felt jimin relax onto his chest when he finally grabbed the book in his hands.
Jimin tilted his head laying it on taehyung's shoulder to look up at him with pursed lips.
'You are late' he deadpanned with a raised eyebrow.
Taehyung spluttered, caught off guard, his head registering that his heart had gone haywire for two reasons.
One, taehyung kinda actually forgot what made him late in the first place (well hurrying up to see his one best friend after a total of nine hours is really gonna mess with your head, taehyung can second that y'all) and two, they were standing so close that taehyung got a nice whiff of the betas scent straight from where it was the most powerful.
Taehyung's eyes slipped to jimin's neck, his skin smooth and enticing and he suddenly felt the overwhelming need to nuzzle jimin's scent glands, to drown in his scent of peaches, to lick along the sides of his collar bones....to stay pressed up to the beta like this.
With much resistance he dragged his eyes back to jimin when the said persons fingers wrapped loosely around his arm breaking him out of his stupor.
He must have been staring.
Jimin's eyes searched him when there was no reply, the earlier playfulness morphing into that of obvious worry.
Now, taehyung's alpha reprimanded him for worrying his mate, so without much thought he pressed a quick kiss to jimin's forehead hoping jimin would buy his apology.
A snort left the betas mouth, his lips curling into a small smile, taehyung's eyes suddenly drawing to the luscious curve of jimin's lips ( 'Stay focussed, you must stay focussed' his mind chanted ) so he quickly yanked them back to jimin's face .
'Yah, Kim Taehyung, do you think you can get away with that?' jimin questioned, his face turning to the other side which gave taehyung a perfect view of jimin's reddened cheeks and ears.
Taehyung just want to bite them.
So badly.
'No, but it got you,The Park Jimin, self proclaimed 'tough beta' shy and flustered' the alpha replied cheekily enjoying jimin getting more flushed with his teasing to the point that jimin pushed him away with a hand on his chest.
It took everything in him to not pull jimin back to him, his fingers itching to keep jimin by his side.
' Quit it, I don't get that flustered easily' jimin replied with a grumble.
But to his utter dismay, his own body betrayed him when the alpha grabbed his hand and brought them to his face to examine his small fingers. His fingertips turned red in an instant and when taehyung chuckled and mumbled a little 'cute' jimin was sure he must have turned a million shades of red right there.
So jimin yanked his hands back with a shriek and spanked taehyung on his chest saying ' You brat, stoping making fun of my fingers', taehyung giggling away and stepping aside to dodge the onslaught of strikes from him.
' I still don't know why I tolerate you when it should me giving you a hard time for being a meanie' jimin murmured, turning away from taehyung to return to the table on the side.
' Hey min, wait up' taehyung called out when jimin turned around, trailing behind him to join him on his table.
When they both sat down and Jimin kept his eyes on his book, pointedly ignoring the other with a pout, taehyung leaned his head and pressed his mouth to the side of jimin's shoulder and mumbled ' I missed you jimin-ah' , his gaze trained on jimin's face and taehyung's wolf did a happy twirl on finding his mate happy with a warm contented smile.
'I missed you too taehyungie' jimin replied, his eyes still not leaving the pages of his book.
Jimin let out a fond laugh when he smelled taehyung's scent picking up with interest, finally turning his head to pat the alphas head.
