Yoonmin in Malta

14 - The second night

One by one, the pairs arrive at the apartment at a late hour. Namjoon and Jimin are the first to arrive, followed by Jin and Hobi. However, Jin didn't make it to the upstairs bedroom, as he cuddled up in the cushions of the couch in the living room.

Jungkook and Yoongi have been on the road the longest and reach their accommodation quite drunk. Yoongi literally puts the youngest to bed out of concern and guilt. He should have paid more attention to Jungkook.

It takes Yoongi some effort to climb the stairs to the upstairs bedroom, as he can feel his nerves building up. He's drunker than he has been in a long time, not just because of the whiskey lesson. Yoongi was trying to numb the nervousness that's been brewing inside him all night. As the night wore on, his anxiety grew, knowing he'd be sharing a bed with Jimin once more.

As he cautiously enters the dimly lit bedroom, illuminated only by the moonlight filtering through the window, Yoongi is disappointed to find Jimin already fast asleep. He gathers his pajamas and heads to the bathroom to get ready for bed.

He has been out for so long that Jimin has already fallen asleep. Yoongi realizes that his attempt to bolster his courage with alcohol had been in vain. Did he really get drunk for no reason? The thought of it just adds to his disappointment.

Washed up and with new-found fresh breath, he slips into bed, where Jimin curls up on a small corner of the bed, leaving plenty of space for Yoongi to join him. He stares at the singer's face, lit only by the moonlight, and his breath hitches. He looks so peaceful and innocent, and Yoongi just wants to reach out and touch him, to feel his skin against his, no matter how briefly.

Yoongi lets out a deep sigh and pulls the covers up around him, adjusting his pillow to find a comfortable position. Yet, he cannot calm his thoughts. He lies awake and watches Jimin sleeping peacefully, wearing only his pajama bottoms. Yoongi can't help but let his eyes wander between Jimin's innocent face and his toned chest.

Yoongi's desire for Jimin overwhelms him, but he also knows that he should resist the urge to act on his impulses. After much consideration, Yoongi decides to take the risk. With trembling fingers, he reaches out and gently strokes Jimin's cheek, feeling the warm skin under his fingertips.

But Jimin doesn't react and Yoongi wonders if he should at least try to sleep instead. Just as Yoongi considers turning away, Jimin's eyes flutter open and lock onto his. The rapper swallows, but Jimin comes close, nuzzles his head against the elder's chest and wraps his arms around him. Yoongi breathes a sigh of relief and the two melt into each other in silence. The younger clings to him as if he's been waiting for him to return.

The warmth and closeness of Jimin's body next to his, awakens something in Yoongi that he can't ignore. He wants to feel the younger man's plump lips on his again, which he had only been able to enjoy so briefly last night.

Without hesitation, Yoongi lifts him onto his lap, feeling the younger man's body press against his own. Jimin responds immediately, cupping Yoongi's face and kissing him deeply. His lips are soft and Yoongi savors the taste of him.

As they kiss, Jimin begins to move his body in a rhythmic motion, grinding against Yoongi's lap. The elder can't help but moan at the sensation, his hands moving to grab Jimin's waist as he rocks against him.

The room is filled with the sound of their breathing and the soft rustle of their clothes as they explore each other.

Yoongi would never have expected the night to turn out this way. He had hoped to get close to Jimin, steal a kiss and hold him in his arms. But the alcohol has fuelled his cockiness and now he's overwhelmed by the intensity of the touches, yet he returns the younger man's caresses, pressing his lips to his again and again. They let themselves drift, forgetting everything around them and feeling only the pure, passionate affection they feel for each other.
