Crystal Bond [Jikook] ✅

| Chapter - 46 |

Jungkook knew what he was signing up for when he knew Jimin was pregnant.

He anticipated the long sleepless nights that would come once he got the omega pregnant, because he experienced it even when his mate wasn't pregnant. There were many nights that Jimin would wake him up, poke him in the side until he was groaning into his pillow and asking what was wrong, only for Jimin to tell him he was hungry and that they needed to go to the convenience store down the street in human world.

At two in the morning...when he wasn't pregnant.

Those instances occurred long before they even lived together in human world. When they were still in the honeymoon phase of their newly blossoming relationship, during the times that Jungkook would stay over at Jimin's luxurious penthouse for the night, or in the humans grand mansion's. It happened earlier than Jungkook would like to admit—him getting out of the bed at two or three in the morning for a late night snack with his human boyfriend. Because if he admitted it too early on, the jokes from their brothers about Jungkook being whipped for Jimin as soon as he met him would be right.

Even though Jungkook knew they were right, he just thinks he adjusted to Jimin's weird sleep schedule and late night cravings fairly easily.

So yeah, Jungkook knew exactly what would happen once Jimin became pregnant. It's the reason he keeps the palace kitchen stocked with all the weird human food concoctions that Jimin could ever request—like ice creams and fast food for instance, or even pickles and lime.

But lately it isn't the food combinations that had Jungkook up at odd hours of the night. It was Jimin's insatiable need to be full, even though he was seven months pregnant.

"Jungkook my beloved husband," Jimin whines from the couch.

It wasn't late yet—only eight at night—but Jimin has been wrapped in a blanket on the bed, feet tucked underneath him, fluffy brunette hair a mess on top of his head for the past hour. He looks adorable. And his flushed red cheeks add to it, making it even harder to resist whatever request may come out of his mouth.

Which Jungkook would never dream of doing.

"Yes, my love what is it ?" He walks over to the bed, settling down beside Jimin and placing the plate of snacks he had just been preparing in the kitchen, per Jimin's previous request, on the table. He waits as Jimin repositions himself until he is snuggled into his side, throwing Jungkook's arm over his own shoulder with a huff and a grumpy pout on his face.

It took everything in Jungkook not to coo at him. He'd been reprimanded one too many times by a pregnant Jimin to make that mistake again. Too many swats at his back has taught him to leave the omega be.

"It hurts so badly," Jimin pouts, lip jutting out.

Immediately, Jungkook is on high alert. "What is hurting?" His hand goes straight to Jimin's abdomen, feeling his swollen stomach with brows knitted in concern. His eyes scan every inch of skin he can see, though it's not much with how tightly wrapped Jimin is in his blanket. The Empress God just whines and hides his face in Jungkook's neck, hands twisting in his shirt. "What hurts, darling?"

Jimin mumbles something into his neck but Jungkook doesn't catch it. He makes a questioning sound, hand rubbing soothing circles into his mate's stomach to encourage him to relax. Once again, Jimin whines and nuzzles into Jungkook's neck, seeking out his skin.

Jungkook is patient. He always has been when it comes to Jimin. The human now God of life and death of human realm moves closer to Jungkook, almost in his lap, and hugs him sideways. The lack of context was starting to make Jungkook antsy and he hastily grips Jimin's thighs to help him into his lap. But as soon as his chest brushed against Jungkook's side, he yelped, and Jungkook flinched away.
