Ch 11: Our Peaceful Night Before The Battle (II)

[18+ VERSION AVAILABLE ON INKITT]

Taehyung

My hands wrapped securely around her waist, my fingers slightly trembling. I tried to be gentle I didn't want to hurt her. 

''Taehyung.'' She laughed as she spoke my name, each and every time she showed me these blissful emotions it made my heart scream. A set of fireworks exploding within.

This time it was she who pulled me closer, almost teasing me with her gaze while her fingers stroked the back of my neck.

''I won't break, I'm not as delicate as you think I am.'' Her hips slightly rolled against me turning my mind into a haze.

To me, she is as pretty and delicate as a flower.

''I still feel like I'm going to break you. I don't want to hurt you. I can't even believe I'm doing thi-'' She placed her finger against my lips ushering me into silence.

Her leg hooked around my waist connecting us together in a rush.

''Quickly now, before I change my mind.'' I took those words by heart but at the end of the night, It was only a trick for her to lessen my talking. 

God how I loved her divine eyes, the ring around her orb seemed to glow giving away her true nature. It was only in these moments that they appeared stronger than normal. I saw her words as a cue for me to kiss her and so I did.

That night we properly looked at one another, talked, touched, kissed, and many more. My love for her grew a tremendous amount and my lust only wavered more. If only I could say it was the same for her. She was daring and smiled, and she did enjoy it I could tell but to me, it all seemed like lust. Cause unlike me she was composed, with not even a stutter in her words as she told me what she wanted me to do. Not even a flinch as she touched me. I was the only one wrapped around in these feelings. Wrapped around her finger, I could have stopped it. Waited till a time when our feelings were aligned, but I was not that strong-willed. 

I wanted her there and then, so I took my chance.

She pressed her forehead against my collar, our haggard breathing mixed into the room. The air was damp and hot while our skins pressed into one another. Peeking through the window that displayed the ocean waves I felt distressed. In just a couple of hours, we will be engaging in battle, and none of us will know how it ends. I know that when it comes to battle, I lack a lot. I'm nowhere near as strong as I want to be. I want to be able to hold Y/N close to my chest just like now. Embrace her tightly and whisper to her that I shall protect her. I want my words to weigh meaning, but in reality, it's laughable. I am not worthy enough to protect her. I lack too much, I'm not yet the strong man she deserves by her side, but I will become that person. 

I want to protect Y/N, from everything....even herself.

My hand landed on her back, slowly massaging it. I could tell that her breath steadied while her face slowly shifted to meet mine. My lips linger on hers as she closed in on me. 

This time the tip of our noses brushed slowly against one another while she released a deep sigh.

''Tomorrow....we will be apart.'' Her fingers traced my jaw before cupping my cheek. I could almost feel her heart pounding in her palms and the feeling of her weight on me wavered me for a moment. 

It was assigned. As we formed teams I suggested that Y/N stay with Yoongi and help with the safekeeping of the villagers. A decision I quite regret right now, but at the same time, it's for the best. I don't want her to feel like she has to watch over me all the time. I want to show that I am capable of protecting myself as well.
