Stuck With You [Taekook ff]

48 | Come and Sleep With Me

∗⋅◈⋅∗

Jungkook's inner monologue was not helping him calm down. Things were going so well with him and Taehyung that he didn't know how they could ever get any better. But now they were experiencing their first....fight?....disagreement?

Just a few weeks ago, he met a beautiful human on an elevator while on the run. He and Taehyung didn't experience love at first sight like the Hallmark movies or experience fireworks on the elevator on that day. But they did have a mutual attraction, though both admitted that it was 99% physical. After  spending an entire day together, it seemed they were both thirsty for something but didn't know what. True, they each wanted sex, but the two also wanted to be connected with someone.

He couldn't believe when Taehyung suggested that he come to Washington D.C. with him. They didn't even know each other well, not saying they fully know each other at the present. But that act of kindness from a stranger melted Jungkook's heart. No one had ever stuck by his side like that, other than his parents. And after their deaths, he was all alone, except for Yerin. He desperately needed someone on his team right now with all the crazy information he's getting about his parents. He was trying to process why the cops believed they were alive when he himself watched them die. He swallowed hard and teared up at the thought.

Then there was the big screw up. Taehyung had asked if Jungkook still wanted the divorce. Jungkook took that to mean that Taehyung wanted something more. The younger couldn't formulate a coherent answer. Jungkook left Taehyung thinking that he only wanted him for a fling. When Jungkook tried to explain, Taehyung cut him off out of stubbornness and hurt.

Jungkook tried to talk to him as they packed the night before for the airport. "Taehyung, please just listen. I don't want to fight, I just want to tell you what I'm feeling and thinking."

Taehyung snorted. "The time for that was like an hour or so ago. Your silence and your studdering told me all that I need to know about how you feel about me." Taehyung was focusing on packing his bags instead of giving Jungkook his full attention.

"You didn't give me a chance to explain. Then you got that phone call from Namjoon. Please don't cut me off. Don't distance yourself from me. You're all I have." Jungkook had tears in his eyes, while he too was packing his new clothes and shoes for the Vegas trip.

"Jungkook, how about we just worry about staying safe and getting the divorce. Let's go back to the original plan. I should have never started whatever this is we've been doing with a stranger. I should have expected this."

"Expected what?" Jungkook raised his voice.

"Forget it. I don't want to argue. I'll take a shower in the morning. If you want to shower in the a.m. as well, before our flight, feel free to take the master bathroom and I'll take the one in the hallway." Taehyung finished packing and took his bags to the living area.

Taehyung ended up in his home office. Namjoon had emailed him tickets to print. Their flight to Las Vegas was scheduled for 8:05 a.m. After printing the tickets, he folded up his and put it in his wallet. He took the other and laid it on the bed in the master bedroom, the side that Jungkook slept on.

Taehyung heard the shower running. He figured Jungkook must've decided to shower before bed. Sometimes, Jungkook cleaned up at night and still showered in the morning. Feeling clean at night helped him rest, Jungkook had previously explained. And if he sweat at all night, he'd take another quick shower before starting his day. That's one of the things Taehyung had learned about Jungkook's habits. Taehyung liked to hang around the bedroom to catch him coming out of the bathroom. He would marvel at his sculpted body and how it looked with beads of water clinging to his beautiful skin.
