"You're so beautiful," Jungkook whispered against Jimin's temple.  "I can't believe you dyed your hair blonde again just for our anniversary trip."

Jimin giggled into the crook of Jungkook's neck.  They were lying cuddled in the same bed they'd first made love in six years prior.  Jimin could hardly believe that his now-husband was so romantic that he wanted to recreate the trip he'd taken him on to propose.  A few years later around the same date, they'd also gotten married.  They'd had a massive fight shortly before their wedding and all the members were overjoyed when they'd finally resolved their issues and tied the knot.  Now the fall season had become not only the anniversary of their engagement, but also of when they began dating officially in September, their engagement in October, and their wedding in November throughout the years.  It had certainly held a special meaning for them.

"I can't believe you actually booked this trip.  You were so busy with your album release.  I don't even know how you had time to set it up," Jimin sighed into Jungkook's shoulder.

"It's our anniversary.  Of course I took the time to do this.  You deserve it.  Especially since we're both enlisting soon.  It's our last chance to do something like this for a while.  Next year we won't be able to celebrate at all.  We don't even know if we'll be in the same base or how they would respond to our relationship if we were found out.  I had to make time for this.  I will always make time for you, Jiminie," Jungkook whispered back, emotion choking his words a bit.

Jimin sniffled, failing to contain the tears of joy and apprehension he had welling up inside him.  "Jung-ssi, I'm a little nervous about the enlistment, but I know we'll get through it.  I can get through anything as long as I know you're always there supporting me."

"I am always there supporting you.  Even when I'm not actually there," Jungkook assured him, breathing in the smell of his shampoo as he buried his nose into his blonde locks. 

They held each other tightly that night, even unconscious they were unable to let go of the other.  The next day when they awoke, Jimin couldn't contain his excitement.  Jungkook hadn't told him any of their plans for the trip, just as he'd done for their first trip to Tokyo.

"So where are we going now?" Jimin asked him, practically bouncing with anticipation.

"It's a surprise, Mini," Jungkook chuckled.  "Just wait and see."

"Ohhhh," Jimin pouted.  "I'm not good at waiting.  I want to know right away."

They sat on the train in their own private cabin, hiding their linked hands with their jackets.  Jimin pointed things out to Jungkook as the train car flew through the country.  They ate so many snacks and sweets that their stomachs hurt and laughed at all their inside jokes.  The bodyguards they'd trusted to join them smiled at them so fondly, and turned in burning embarrassment at times when their sweet stares felt as though they were intruding on a private moment.

"Sapporo?  Why did you bring us here?" Jimin asked, accepting Jungkook's hand as he helped him exit the train.

"Well Tokyo has the biggest LGBTQ community in Japan, but where we're staying, Susukino, there is a decent sized community too.  Plus, in 2017, they were the first city ever in Japan to be LGBTQ friendly," Jungkook educated his husband, taking pride in the look of awe on Jimin's face as he listened to him.  "Plus, every year there's this snow festival they hold.  We're too early for it, but we'll already be in the military when it happens.  Since I can't take you to the snow festival, I thought I'd give you the next best thing.  It's supposed to snow here tomorrow.  I know how much you love snow."

Jimin grinned, cheeks lifting high and eyes curving into crescents.  Jungkook's heart warmed until it melted seeing Jimin so happy. 

"You're literally the sweetest man alive, aren't you?  How did I get so lucky?" Jimin whined.  "There's no way I deserve you."

"Stop it.  You know I don't like when you talk like that.  You deserve me and I deserve you.  Now, lets go to the hotel so we can go eat.  I'm starving!"

Jimin croaked out a laugh.  "Are you serious?  After all those snacks on the way here, you really want to go eat now?"

Jungkook laughed too.  "Of course!  That wasn't real food.  I need to get real food in that little belly of yours!"

They spent the evening exploring the city and taking pictures.  Jungkook couldn't resist telling his model ambassador husband to pose in front of the Dior store they'd walked past.  He also couldn't resist taking a picture of him similar to one he'd taken the last time they'd gone to Japan together, where Jimin had been looking at a menu in a black hat.  Jungkook's heart felt so full as each memory from their first trip came back to him as he watched Jimin walk the streets of Japan in front of him once again.

"Jungkook!  Jungkook!  Look!" Jimin skipped to him excitedly pointing to the sky. 

Big, fat flakes of snow were just beginning to fall.  A long ago memory of a younger version of themselves in Korea watching the first snow together for the first time resurfaced.  Jungkook smiled down at Jimin's gleeful face as he caught snowflakes on his tongue and giggled.  The street lights and his blonde hair gave him a glow that Jungkook was certain meant he really was an angel in disguise.

"You know, hyung, this is not the first time we've been caught in the first snowfall of the season together," he said softly.

Jimin grinned impossibly wider.  "Guess that means true love will keep blossoming between us then.  Are you alright with having only me for forever?"

"Forever isn't long enough," Jungkook quietly answered.  "I had to have met you in another life and will keep meeting you over and over again because I have too much love for you to contain in one lifetime."

Tears springing to his eyes, Jimin slid his arms around Jungkook's waist.  "Stop.  You're going to make me cry."

"I just love you so much, Jimin.  You don't even know how much I love you.  It's impossible for me to tell you in words," Jungkook insisted.

"I love you too.  So, so much.  No amount of time or struggles will keep me from you.  We're destiny," Jimin nuzzled himself into Jungkook's chest.

"Happy anniversary, baby.  I can't wait to celebrate a hundred more with you," Jungkook whispered, nibbling the top of Jimin's ear.

Jimin shivered and gasped out an airy chuckle.  "You think I'll live to be 128?"

"However long we live to, I'm spending every minute of it appreciating you," Jungkook replied.

"I completely believe you and can't wait to do the same for you.  Happy anniversary, Kookie."

A/N: Had a comment about how the realistic fics are hard to find.  I LOVE writing realistic fics because their love for each other (whether it is in reality romantic or platonic) is just so deep and real and true.  Even if they end up not being a real couple, these two definitely have a special bond unlike any other in this world.  Writing their real life love is so easy because it's right there, plain in front our faces, for the whole world to see.

Anyway, Hope you guys enjoyed it and I'll see you in the next one, Lovely Army's!

@prettydollyjimin, I hope that you liked this one!  Your comment lead to me writing this one that I'd had in my head since I saw their Japan trip!
