Min, the Mad King

Chapter 16

"Can we talk?" Tae blinked a few times at the man before him, making Hobi smile at him. He waved his hands in front of Tae's face to get his attention. "Are you okay?"

Tae quickly shook his head before smiling at Hobi, "Yes, sorry. Come in."

Hobi was nervous as fuck, he's never dated a man before, and Tae has been coming on so fucking strong over the past year. But he made a promise, and if he's honest, he's curious. "I wanted to ask you out on a date, but before that, we should discuss a few things."

He's dead; that's the only explanation as to why this God of a man is in front of him asking him for a date. He's been chasing after Hobi for a fucking year, and it's always been leave me alone, go away, etc. But now he's asking him out, so he must be dead. He knew not to trust that little shit in the kitchen; he was as hopeless as Tae is. 'Just trust me, it'll be delicious,' Jimin assured. And now he's dead, and a Hobi angel is asking him out. He smirked; maybe being dead won't be so bad.

"Tae, can you focus," Hobi snapped his fingers in front of Tae's face. The elder frowned, "I thought you'd be happy; you've been begging me for a year."

"So this is real? I'm not dead?"

Hobi cocked his head to the side a bit, "why do you think you are dead?"

"Because there's no way in hell that the man of my dreams asks me out when I've been begging for a year. So I must be dead, death by poisoning from a little shit named Jimin."

The elder laughed so hard that he fell into Tae's body, which shook with glee. "Oh God, you crack me up so much, Tae, like damn. Only you would jump to being dead because I asked you out."

"In my defense," he sputtered, "it never crossed my mind that you would want to do it. You've never given me any sign that you wanted this."

Hobi sat up, his face impossibly close to Tae, "I've never been with a man before; I'm not sure what to do."

Tae grinned, his boxy smile on full display. "Well, first things first, are you putting your dick in me, or am I putting mine in you?"

The elder stopped breathing, in all the scenarios he'd thought about, somehow that one wasn't on the list. Why did he never think of the schematics of what sex with a man was like? "I'm not sure. Uhh, is there a way you prefer?" He didn't want to say that he was more than nervous about trying either, but he wasn't exactly looking forward to the latter.

"I prefer to bottom, meaning your dick is doing the work while I lay there and enjoy all the pleasure you can give me."

Hobi cocked his head to the side, "What like a fucking prince?"

"A pillow prince, it's called," Tae mused as he inched closer to Hobi. "Can I kiss you?"

One blink, two blinks, "Do you want to kiss me?"

"More than anything, if I'm being honest."

With a nod, he leaned forward, and just before their lips touched, "Go slow, Tae, it's been a long time since I kissed anyone."

Their lips touched. Tae didn't want to push it too far, so he kept it a simple press of the lips. He didn't move, he didn't try to use his tongue. Just his lips touching Hobi's, and it felt like electricity was zipping through his body. He pulled back, stars in his eyes as he looked at the man he'd been madly in love with for a year. "Was that okay?"

"I-I think so; I'm not sure how to feel if I'm being honest."

"Did you hate it?" Tae pouted.

Hobi said, "No, I didn't hate it."

Tae snapped back to being the happy, bubbly person Hobi had known him for. "So, was there anything else you wanted to talk about?"

"I want kids," Hobi blurted out. "I know that's impossible with us, but I want kids."

"I'd give you kids if I could, Hobi, gladly. But it's not possible."

"It's not that," Hobi whispered.

Tae didn't want to hope that this could work. That's a dream, and dreams don't come true. "Then what is it?"

"Jin brought up a good point: how do you feel about adoption? I have to ensure we are on the same page before going further. I've already had one child stolen from me, and I can't have another taken. So if you don't want this, I have to know now. It's a non-starter for me."

That little flicker of hope was back: "So let me get this straight. You are interested in more with me. But you want kids, and since we can't physically do that, you want to adopt. But if I don't, then this is over before we even start?"

"I think I could love you, Tae. I really do. But I won't let myself unless I know. I know that another child can't replace the one I lost, but there's this hole in my heart that I have to fill. I hope you understand that?"

Tae had never been so happy in his entire fucking life, he's always wanted kids, but since he's gay, he didn't think it would be possible. Now, the man of his dreams asks him to adopt and be with him. Sign him the fuck up, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll adopt all the babies with you. I'll let you fuck me as much as you want. I can't replace what you lost, but I can make you happy, Hobi. You have to give me a chance."

"So, is that a yes to a date?"
