Me, Myself, and Jikook (Jikook Oneshots)

Just Breathe

This was too much.  Jungkook felt as though he couldn't breathe.  He'd crawled into Jimin's bed a few hours ago and yet even his favorite hyung's presence couldn't calm him down.  He listened to the soft snores of his Hobi-hyung and the gentle puffs of air coming from his Jiminie-hyung.  He tried to force those easy sounds to calm his racing heart.

The anxiety of the day's photoshoot and music video filming came crashing down on him as soon as the lights were out.  Namjoon's snores turned his darkened bedroom into a war zone on his already frayed nerves, so he'd snuck out to his safe space.  That meant pulling his warm, shirtless hyung into his chest and holding him tightly as he tried to ease the growing fear.

"Jungkook?"

He looked down at Jimin blinking through bleary eyes up at him.  "Are you okay?  You're shaking."

Jungkook could only shake his head.  Jimin crawled up Jungkook's chest to wrap his shoulders into his arms.  He tugged the younger boy flat against him.  Jimin's fingers wove themselves through Jungkook's hair, petting him gently as he placed sweet kisses on his forehead.

"It's okay, my baby.  Hyung is here.  Hyung is always here for you," he insisted through the soft presses against his cold, clammy skin.

"Hyung...I can't breathe," Jungkook gasped out.

"Are you nervous because of earlier?  Does it still make you nervous to be on film?"

Jungkook nodded against Jimin's bare chest.  "I don't mean to be, Jiminie."

Jimin barely acknowledged the fact that Jungkook had once again dropped the 'hyung' with him.  "My baby.  Its okay to be nervous.  You'll become more confident one day."

"I hope that's true, hyungie."

Jimin giggled at the term of endearment.  "It is.  One day you'll see how amazing, how incredible you are.  You're so talented and so handsome and so kind.  You're not the Golden Maknae for nothing."

"I don't want to be Golden.  I just want to be Jungkookie," he blushed, hiding his face deeper into Jimin's chest and neck.  "Your Jungkookie."

Jimin's heart fluttered as he blushed.  "Always my Jungkookie," he whispered into Jungkook's soft, black hair.

The pair laid like that for a while, caressing each other in blushed silence in the darkness of Jimin's shared room.  Jimin finally broke the quiet.

"Jungkookie, you're not trembling anymore.  Do you feel better now?"  He started to pull away from him to look down at his face.

"No!" Jungkook shouted a little too loud, holding his breath as J-Hope groaned and rolled over in his sleep.  Jungkook tugged Jimin closer to him by his naked waist, refusing to let the older go.

Jimin chuckled, but pulled Jungkook impossibly closer.  "Okay, Kookie.  We can stay like this a little longer."

He resumed running his fingers through Jungkook's hair as he hummed in satisfaction.  Jimin kept whispering words of love and encouragement into his temple.

"You're so amazing my baby.  My Kookie.  I'm so proud of you.  You are afraid and you never give up.  I'm so, so proud of you, my sweet little Kookie."

The pair eventually fell asleep in each other's arms, the other members finding them just like that the next morning.

A/N: This was a request from a reader who wanted a story about Jungkook having anxiety and Jimin sleeping next to him, calming him, and with some extra fluff!

Hopefully I accomplished that.  The story may be short, but it made my heart all gooey to think of them comforting each other like this.

Let me know if you have a request in my inbox. 

Otherwise...Until next time, Lovely Armies!
