Chapter 7- Earth

song- charlie puth- light switch

I watch silently as Jungkook closes the door behind Taehyung and walks through the room until he arrives at a closed door at the bottom of my bed. He walks straight in closing the door behind him. I can only assume that's the bathroom.

Well I guess I should go explore my new home a little. I get off the bed and walk to the kitchen since I didn't get to see it earlier and I'm starving after not having any dinner. Is that something we're supposed to make ourselves? I guess there's a reason we have a kitchen. Except, school provides lunch, but maybe that's all.

After deciding to be nosey and having a look through some cupboards I shuffle back to the living room. Is it obvious I'm bored?

I plop down onto the sofa kicking my feet up and turn on the TV flicking through channels until some old movie comes on and I lie down finally getting some peace to myself. I usually don't enjoy silence, but this is a nice change from the past who even knows how long.

I'm so tired I think I'd honestly prefer sleeping here tonight than dealing with Jungkook for any longer today. But of course nothing goes my way and I hear footsteps approaching the living room. I sigh seeing him getting closer to me and taking the remote turning the TV off.

"Lights out. Big day tomorrow. Come to bed." He says looking down at me.

"I'm not tired." I say covering my mouth as I yawn. Stupid body has to go and give me away.

"Sure." He says sarcastically, holding out his hand to pull me up.

I reluctantly accept his hand and follow him back to his room, which I guess I should now call my room.

"We're kinda underprepared for you to be here so soon, so you'll have to wear my clothes until Jin gets some for you."

I swear I just saw a glint of giddiness in his eyes. I haven't seen that since the moment we met.

"Great." I mumble taking the grey sweats and black t-shirt he hands me.

I walk to the bathroom and change taking a look at myself in the mirror. I'm a mess. I haven't washed for days now. I splash some water on my face and take a deep breath before going back out. I stop in the doorway having walked out when Jungkook was taking his sweats off to get into bed. This is gonna become a serious problem. I have already seen too much of this man. Good thing he doesn't sleep naked. Look away Grey. Grey? Hello? You're drooling.

I feel that same nervous sensation that's been creeping into my stomach lately but it's nice now. It's no longer a deep pit, but something more like the butterflies I felt when I first met him. It's not even a headache but rather a floating sensation. Is this my power? Why does it feel so good this time? Why is it even showing itself?

I notice Jungkook looking up at me. I stay still, unable to move my attention away from him. He makes eye contact with me clearly noticing my state. I catch him smile slightly before his attention is drawn to the window. His jaw drops as he scans whatever stole his attention away and he slowly looks back at me in awe.

He approaches me almost excitedly and grabs my hands. He holds them in his hands and my stomach does intense flips. I've never felt anything like this, it's so comfortable and right.

He closes his eyes gently before they shoot open again. His mouth bobs open as if he's about to say something, but he quickly stops himself and a grin forms on his face, the hint of a smirk lying behind it.

"I knew you liked me." He whispers backing away still facing me, full body on show with only his boxers hiding him.

He winks before turning and getting into bed like that didn't just happen. I swear I just witnessed two completely different people.

Once I gather myself I approach the window looking at what caught his attention and see a small tree in the middle of the courtyard. Was that there before? I stare at it quickly realising that it was me. I did that.

If I think back to when I've used my power before, then that must mean I control fire with anger, air with fear and...what? Earth with lo...ha don't be ridiculous. It must be simply positive feelings that control it. That's what I'm going with anyway because anything else is too insane.

I get into bed watching the tree as if it was just a figment of my imagination that would eventually disappear. When it doesn't, I look back towards Jungkook now fast asleep. I get under the covers watching him breathe contently and slowly find myself drifting off.

~~A/N~~ Can I just say Jungkook x Calvin Klein is just perfect like what did we do to deserve this? It's been my wallpaper since it came out aha. Anyway, hopefully the story is starting to get somewhere now and the Jungkook and Grey dynamic is slowly changing for the better. Maybe...
