The devil's lover ENG

~Chapter 39~

Hey angels! I hope you have a great day/night^^

The sun was finally done hiding and slowly made its way in the skyline and slowly replaced the street's artificial light with its own warm sunshine. Due to that the sky changed its color and two pairs of eyes admired how, even for a few minutes, the stars shared the same sky with the sun as they were fading away slowly. It was an image worth painting and showing people.

A soft sigh left Taehyung's lips and he immediately felt the arms that have been holding him for hours tighten around him, giving him a feeling of security. His back was still pressed against Jungkook's chest and even though they stayed like that for hours, he didn't want to pull away. He couldn't remember the last time his body felt so warm. A warmth that was somewhat unfamiliar since he was never held with such care before, yet a warmth that put him to sleep for a few more hours. He was just standing there and allowed his body to collide against the well built body of the man standing besides him.

On the other hand, Jungkook couldn't help but pamper him, even when the blond fell asleep in his arms. In the past few hours he didn't say anything and focused all his attention on the broken boy laying against him. The raven held him, caressed him, shushed him to sleep, kissed his temples, kissed his forehead and kissed the top of his head multiple times. He did his best to be gentle and not hurt the mortal with his touch. And being gentle was no easy task for him. His hands were used to do brutal things from a young age. His hands were meant to be rough and unforgiving. His hands always hurt others, but never before comforted someone. Not that way. So of course he feared hurting the other. He needed almost two hours to figure out what was the right thing to do, how much pressure he needed to use when he cared for the boy and held him close. But after that, it all felt natural. It felt so right.

So, so right.

For Jungkook, it was all about Taehyung.

The raven rested his chin on his right shoulder and looked straight ahead, out the windows. But the moment he felt their bodies press completely against each other, Taehyung looked at him for a few seconds before looking down and biting his bottom lip. There was something intimate about all this. Maybe even something domestic. That's the only way he could explain the feeling lingering in his chest because of the way they were holding each other while admiring the view.

Seeing that he was zoning out, Jungkook looked at him for a minute, patiently waiting to see if Taehyung would snap out of it on his own. But when that didn't happen he decided to take action. Slowly, he leaned in and kissed the blond on the cheek. The skin felt nice and warm against his lips and he wanted this to last forever.

Taehyung's eyes widened and his head snapped in the raven's direction and due to his sudden move, their lips were only inches apart. Their eyes met for the first time in hours and time seemed to freeze. They forgot about their surroundings and only focused on the person in front of them.

Jungkook's signature smirk appeared on his face but it wasn't in a mocking way. It was meant to distract the other and get rid of the tension that was slowly growing. And although he was smirking, his words were sincere, his tone no different.

"I don't know what you are thinking about but stop. Don't think about anything. Just be present, be here. That's the only thing you need to do right now."

Before he knew it, Taehyung was nodding while still looking into those black and captivating eyes. It wasn't the first time he got lost into them and he was damn sure this wasn't the last time either. It was never his intention but he didn't mind it either. It was rather pleasing.

Jungkook giggled, rather amused. The blond didn't put up a fight. And he knew the detective, he usually would argue with him or tell him to shut up. He liked this side of him.

"What's so funny?"

Taehyung's question made him clear his throat and hide his smile.

"Nothing. It's just... you are not telling me to shut up."

Taehyung raised an eyebrow and scoffed.

"Do you want me to tell you to shut up?"

Jungkook pressed his index finger between his eyebrows, making the small frown disappear.

"Rather than telling me to shut up, I'd prefer if you made me."

The blond was about to ask him what he meant but realization suddenly hit him and blush covered his whole face. He hit his chest but knew that wouldn't do anything. His chest was rock hard and his fist didn't do much.

"You are shameless! Seriously, how can you-"

A pair of cold lips covered his own, making him swallow his words. His eyes widened and for a moment he forgot how to breathe. It felt like forever since he last felt those lips against his. And they were somehow perfect together. Taehyung's lips were warm while Jungkook's were cold. But they were both soft, fitted each other perfectly and moved in a perfect sync.

Taehyung moved a little closer and pressed his lips harder against Jungkook's before having to pull away because of the lack of air. Not just that the blush never left his cheeks, but now even his lips were swollen and shiny. And while he was doing his best to recover in order not to embarrass himself, Jungkook was admiring him.

The blond hit his chest once again.

"Stop looking at me like that!"

Jungkook laughed and leaned back, pulling Taehyung closer and holding him tight.

"Alright, alright. It's still early so let's stay like this for a while longer."

And Taehyung didn't argue with that and just got more comfortable. The raven smiled and covered him better with the blanket. Mortals were so sensitive and vulnerable and he didn't want the detective to get sick. Knowing how stubborn he is, he would never take a day off and he wouldn't let anyone take care of him either.

Getting tired of looking out the window, the raven decided to nuzzle into Taehyung's neck and press their bodies completely against each other. He took in the blond's scent and swore that he could stay like that forever. Who would have thought that someone so cruel and cold as Jungkook who would cut your arm off if you touched him without his permission would melt so easily in someone else's touch?

But to be honest, he already did so many things he usually wouldn't even think of doing. Starting from working for someone as an assistant to ending someone's life because they dared to trouble Taehyung. And now being all touchy... And all of that just for one person. For a mere mortal.

No...

That's not right.

Because Taehyung is not just a mere mortal in Jungkook's eyes.

He is so much more.

Taehyung is everything. 

I hope you liked it^^

Take care and keep safe~ Love y'all<3
