53| “Filled with misery” 

“Don’t you worry, It's just a call.” Taehyung nuzzled his nose against Nina’s cheek, relishing the closeness and warmth, absorbing all of her compassion and kindness by proximity.

“If you say so.” Nina mused and Taehyung’s veiny hands pulled the t-shirt over his head to avoid the evident contemplation in her eyes. 

Taehyung let loose a battered breath and flicked quite an anxious glance at Nina. It was a relief that his senses were gathered, and his thoughts weren't jarring. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to notice how soft and warm her eyes were, how welcoming and comforting her every exhale was, how effortlessly her one touch put him at complete ease. And, Taehyung loathed those moments when he was plagued in his head, fighting those ugly demons, so much that he was unable to notice such little things about her. 

“Go back to sleep, I'll make it quick, mhm.” Nina nodded, watching Taehyung stomping out of the room like a man with a mission.

Taehyung walked downstairs, the faint thumping of his slippers against the floor drowned out the beating of his heart. His shoulders were squared, his chest was puffed out and every muscle of his body was strung tight around the t-shirt. He winced and looked down, only to find Leote nuzzling against his feet, clearly demanding Taehyung to scoop up his fluffy body in his arms. They were finally friends, and let's just say, Leote was especially a daddy’s boy.

“Why aren't you sleeping, buddy?” Taehyung scratched his ear and Leote purred in his embrace. It had been a few weeks since Taehyung made Nina and the cats move into his mansion, sulking and throwing tantrums with pleadings that he would only willingly take care of himself properly if she stayed with him. He was stubborn to a fault and Nina couldn't resist his wish.

“Good night, kid.” Taehyung put Leote in his donut bed and stroked his ear a little until Leo’s purrs were faint. With Nina, the cats were a part of his life. 

He loved their adorable presence, and effortlessly took offense when Jungkook called them “cute pets” — In which Taehyung responded, “Fuck you asshole, they aren't just pets, they are Nina’s and mine fur babies. Our child. Can't you see the resemblance? You know what? I'll teach them to keep you in line, or perhaps scratch your face.”

Then he recalled the talk he and Nina had  about making her move into his place. 

“Why do you want me to move into your place?” Nina’s eyes sparkled as she stared at the happy lines etching on his handsome face. 

“Because I want to.” Taehyung shrugged, a playful smirk on his lips as Nina narrowed her eyes, exhaling a miff sigh.

“Try harder to convince me, buddy.” She playfully poked his chest and then dragged the fingertips over his collarbones, sensing him quivering under the touch.

“Because you love me, and I'm your everything— your baby, your boyfriend, your fiancé and, of course, soon, your husband.” His raspy voice had something that abandoned her with a blissful ache behind her rib cage.

“Give me more.” Nina could feel her heart going completely nuts in utter bliss.

“Because you can't live without me.” Taehyung confidently tipped his chin up.
