It's afternoon when Taehyung has himself drowned in a video game when he feels a gentle tap on his shoulder.
Y/n, his girlfriend, stands hovering over his shoulders.
"Hey there." Taehyung greets her.
"What are you doing?" y/n asks, glancing at his laptop screen. "Playing." he says, looking back at the screen. "What were you doing?" "Reading." y/n replies and waves the book in her hand, that Taehyung failed to notice before, in the air.
"How long are you going to play?" y/n asks when Taehyung resumes playing he glances at y/n when she remains silent and catches sight oh her sulky expression. "I'll play one last round."
Y/n nods as she plots down on her ass beside him but Taehyung puts the device on the armrest and pats his thighs, gesturing her to take a seat but instead she lays her lead on his lap.
With a warm smile Taehyung leans down to kiss his girlfriend's cheek who flashes him her toothy smile in response.
Y/n runs her finger against the binding of the book before she opens the cover. Then she reaches the pages between which she had left the book marks. Words appear and disappear as her eyes fits on the page trying to find where she had left off.
Taehyung strokes her forehead with one hand and works the other on the keyboard.
The room falls quiet despite the clickety-clack of the keyboard along with their almost inaudible breathing.
A sigh leaves y/n's mouth as she doesn't feel like reading anymore.
She yawns. Tired or not, Taehyung's lap seems the most comfortable place to lay her head on.
Y/n relaxes and begins to doze intermittently. The tension in her muscles going away and her mind calming down. The light around her, dimming little by little. A comfortable dark engulfs her, she feels her eyelids become heavy.
Taehyung's slender fingers entwined with her hair. He scratches her scalp with his short nails making her hum in contentment as she closes her eyes.
The book slips off y/n's grip.
Taehyung takes a thick strand of y/n's hair and twirls it around his finger while feeling the silky texture with his thumb. His attention, still on the screen.
A yawn flees y/n's lips as she gives in to the drowse. Taehyung catches the low sound and peels his eyes off the bright screen.
He looks down to find his girlfriend trying to snuggle in his thighs. Her hand clasped together, resting against her forehead.
He dips his head down to get a clear look of her face. Peace lingering on her face but eyelids twitching, though, merely. He understood she wasn't yet asleep.
"Are you sleep?" he whispers to her ear, not wanting to startle her with his voice.
"Mmm very." y/n mumbled, almost sounding incoherent. The boy chuckles at her state before shutting the laptop off and setting it on the coffee table.
"Let's get you to bed then." Taehyung gently pulls y/n up. With her drowsiness deepening every minute she clings onto him and clutches onto the cotton fabric of his shirt.
He holds the nape of her neck as he bends forward to pick up the book and places it back at the bookshelf before finally going to the bedroom.
He saunters to the bed with y/n hugging his torso with her arms and his waist with her legs and attempts to lay her back on the bed but she does not let go, causing him to fall forward.
Taehyung holds his torso up, his palms pressing against the mattress.
"I won't go anywhere and lay beside you." he says to y/n while holding the posture. "Let go?" a brief nod and she plops down on the bed.
Y/n cocoons herself in the duvet and dives into slumber. And taehyung spoons her, watching sleep; whipped.
