Part 24

A/N: Sometimes there is no inspiration and then it suddenly hits me. :)

Please enjoy.

----------------------

Taehyung walks through the apartment to get ready for work when he notices a shadow on the windowsill out of the corner of his eye. He stops in his tracks, turns, and squints his eyes at bright light flooding through the window.

Was he really seeing what he was seeing?

He blinks his eyes and also rubs them, yes, there was clearly a seagull on the windowsill, pressing her feathery fat little body against the window, trying to stay where it was. The seagull was looking inside the apartment, hopping from one foot to the other to keep it's balance on the narrow sill.

"Babe you should see that," he calls for Jungkook.

"What is it?" his boyfriend yells back.

"I need you to tell me that I'm not crazy," he shouts.

"I'm not sure I can do that," sounds quietly in the apartment.

"I can hear you, you know that right?"

"I didn't say anything."

"Then I didn't say oh my little gold rainstorm please come to me and look at the window."

Taehyung smiles evilly when he listens to footsteps coming closer.

"What did you call me?" Jungkook asks, mildly annoyed.

"Nothing, oh love of my life," Taehyung smiles brightly and pecks his lips. "But please look at the window." So he takes his boyfriend's shoulders and turns him.

The reaction comes instantly.

"What the hell?" Jungkook exclaims and jerks under his touch.

"You see the seagull too?"

"Yes, it's enormous!"

"Ah, shit...," Taehyung mumbles and walks closer, while the seagull seems impatient, pecking its beak on the glass.

"What the hell," Jungkook mumbles once more, but grabs Taehyung's shirt, holding him back. "I'm not sure you should open the window. Haven't you seen The Birds?"

Taehyung looks over his shoulder at his boyfriend in confusion. "Huh? What is wrong with birds?"

"You don't like pigeons, remember."

"Yeah, but what is wrong with seagulls? They are nice," and he tries to take another step, but Jungkook slings his arms around him, stopping him once more. Taehyung's back is pressed into Jungkook's chest and he leans into him.

"But they have huge, sharp beaks," he whispers and points to the window where the seagull pecks once again on the glass. It looks more annoyed by the second, inclining its head and blinking at them with beady eyes.

"It does," Taehyung agrees, "but I have a feeling it brings a message."

Jungkook groans and hides his face against his neck. "Please, no more family affairs. I can't take it anymore. Let's divorce our families and live happily ever after."

Taehyung caresses his arms that are still clung tightly around his waist. "It will be fine. Your parents are very open minded."

"They probably built a shrine for you."

"How fitting."

Jungkook growls, but Taehyung ignores his displeasure and walks forward, with Jungkook still hugging him, and slides the window open. Cold air wafts into the room and the seagull shouts loudly, making their ears ring and the echo sounds in the neighborhood.
