The Night You Left Me | Taegi (Sequel) ✔️

Twenty-Five

When Yoongi opens his eyes, it feels a bit awkward. As vampires, they can rest their eyes and technically sleep in a way, but they're still fully aware of everything— awake.

So for the first time in a while, it really feels like he's waking up from true slumber.

Light shines in his eyes, irritating him. The room is quiet. He has no idea what time it is and for a second, he almost forgets where he is, but that's only because he hasn't gotten used to waking up in this room. It's his new room. It's his bedroom. The bedroom of the apartment that he lives in with Taehyung.

Holy shit.

He slowly turns his head towards the weight next to him. Sure enough, Taehyung is lying beside him with a pillow curled up in his arms and his eyes closed, his eyebrows worried.

"Taehyungie..."

Yoongi remembers everything.

He remembers everything and it feels fucking fantastic to finally understand something for once. It's such a relief; from being alive to having Taehyung by his side along with his friends, because fuck, he's also so glad that Seokjin is alive. The last thing he remembered before death was seeing his best friend die and then Taehyung's tears rolling down his cheeks.

Taehyung opens his eyes immediately upon realizing Yoongi is awake. He holds his pillow tighter and looks just as worried as he was before Yoongi passed out.

"Taehyungie." Yoongi sounds drained and desperate as he calls out his boyfriend's name. He doesn't give Taehyung time to react before he forces his arms around Taehyung's tiny waist and pulls him closer. He presses his face into Taehyung's shoulder and begins to cry. "I remember," he chokes out as Taehyung rubs circles into his back. "I remember everything, Taehyung."

He's pretty sure that as Taehyung nuzzles into his hair that he's crying as well.

"Really?"

Yoongi nods and holds him impossibly closer, digging his nails into the back of Taehyung's shirt and sobbing. "Yes, really. I- It was the kiss. And..." He needs to admit something as well. "When you almost kissed me a while back, I got a flashback. It was only one flashback, so I didn't tell anyone. I- I didn't want to get your hopes up."

"You-" Taehyung pulls away until their eyes meet. Sure enough, his nose is shining red, his eyes are puffy, and his cheeks are wet. "I would have kissed you if I knew that!"

Yoongi pouts. "I didn't know it was because of the almost-kiss. I thought I was having flashbacks or just hoping you'd kiss me or something. You should've kissed me then."

Taehyung presses his forehead against Yoongi's. "I couldn't. You just confessed to me today. It would've been wrong to kiss you otherwise. You should've confessed earlier!" He pins it back onto Yoongi, who half-laughs, half-cries.

"Well, neither of us knew. But now we do, so please kiss me. Please be with me again."

"As if I wouldn't?" Taehyung asks, but then as he starts leaning into Yoongi, he hesitates. "I'm a bit scared to kiss you now, to be honest."

Yoongi cups his cheek and leans in, attaching their lips in a sweet peck. He pulls away smiling. "I have no more curses or spells or magic on me now. It's okay, Taehyungie."

With such confirmation, Taehyung is confident as he kisses Yoongi now. After what feels like forever and more, they're finally able to just sink into each other's touch and allow themselves to be happy and carefree. Taehyung caresses Yoongi's back and whispers sweet nothings into his ear, sometimes nibbling his earlobe with his fangs, which earns a scolding from Yoongi.

"We're supposed to be cute and snuggle together."

Taehyung looks Yoongi in the eyes- his own are wide in shock. "Is this not... cute to you?" he asks, confused. Yoongi simply looks back at him.

"You're biting my ear." Taehyung doesn't seem to see anything not cute about that. Slowly, Yoongi sighs. "That's hot, Taehyung. Not cute."

A small gasp leaves Taehyung's lips. Then, with a boxy grin that displays his pointy fangs, he says, "I see you also remember your thing for vampires, huh?"

Yoongi blushes madly and teasingly pushes Taehyung away. "Shush. Let's call our friends to let them know—" He squeals as Taehyung rolls over onto him and attacks him with nibbles. This time, Yoongi does find it cute.

"Friends can wait 'til later," Taehyung says. "I'm gonna kiss you a trillion more times before they come barging in and steal you from me."

He keeps that promise, kissing Yoongi enough to make them ignore anything else in their life. It feels good to let loose like this. It feels good to finally remember how much Taehyung means to him.
