Taekook One-shots/Short Stories 💜💚

🐱The Kitten And The Storm🌩

    The scent of rain and petrichor clung to Jungkook as he pounded on Taehyung's door, a tiny, shivering ball of fur clutched in his hands. "I found him under my bike!" he gasped, water dripping from his hair onto the worn welcome mat. "He's soaked! Do you... do you know anything about cats?"

    Taehyung, clad in a flowing silk robe embroidered with cranes, blinked, startled by the sudden intrusion and the sight of the drenched kitten.

    His heart melted with a surge of protectiveness. "Oh, the poor thing!" He ushered Jungkook inside, his apartment a stark contrast to the sleek minimalism of Jungkook's own.  Canvases leaned against the walls, paintbrushes scattered across a cluttered table, and the air hummed with the melancholic strains of trot music.

    Jungkook was used to his space's cool steel and glass, and he felt a strange sense of warmth envelop him. He watched as Taehyung, with surprising gentleness, scooped up the kitten and began drying its fur with a fluffy towel.  "Don't worry, little one," Taehyung crooned, his voice a soothing balm. "You're safe now."

    As the storm raged outside, they improvised a bed for the kitten with a heating pad and a pile of soft towels. Jungkook, hesitant to leave the tiny creature vulnerable, accepted Taehyung's offer of ramen. Over steaming bowls, they talked not about the weather or the mundane happenings of the apartment complex but about their dreams, fears, and the quirks of their neighbors.

   Jungkook, usually so reserved, found himself laughing freely, his anxieties melting away in the face of Taehyung's genuine warmth and infectious energy.

      Taehyung, in turn, was captivated by how Jungkook's serious facade crumbled with each smile, revealing a playful, gentle soul. He learned Jungkook's passion for photography stemmed from a desire to capture fleeting moments of beauty, a yearning to preserve the ephemeral. 

    He discovered that Jungkook's disciplined exterior masked a deep vulnerability, a fear of letting others in after a painful betrayal.
As the rain subsided, a comfortable silence settled between them. Jungkook, reluctant to break the spell, stood awkwardly. "I should probably..." he began, but Taehyung's hand on his arm stopped him.

    "Stay," Taehyung whispered, his eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight. "Just a little longer."
Jungkook stayed. They talked until early, weaving a tapestry of shared hopes and unspoken desires. But as dawn approached, Jungkook pulled away, plagued by his old insecurities. "Thank you, Taehyung," he murmured, his voice husky with emotion. "For everything."

    He left, taking the kitten, now named Bam, with him. But the memory of Taehyung's touch, the warmth in his eyes, lingered, a tantalizing promise of something more.

     Over the next few weeks, their lives intertwined. They co-parented Bam, their shared responsibility a constant excuse for stolen glances and whispered conversations in the hallway. Taehyung, emboldened by the intimacy of their shared secret, began leaving small gifts on Jungkook's doorstep – a hand-painted bookmark, a quirky vintage toy, and a single, perfect rose. 

     Jungkook, in response, would leave Taehyung prints of his photographs, each a silent testament to his growing affection.

     One evening, Jungkook's laughter, amplified by the thin walls, pierced Taehyung's concentration. He slammed his sketchbook shut, a surge of jealousy and longing coursing him. He stormed to Jungkook's apartment, his heart pounding frantically against his ribs.

      Jungkook opened the door, his face flushed with excitement, his eyes sparkling.  "Taehyung!" he exclaimed, surprised. "Come in! I'm having a few friends over."

     But Taehyung couldn't move. All he could see was Jungkook, his hair tousled, his smile radiating warmth, the embodiment of everything Taehyung craved. "You're being loud," he blurted out, his voice betraying his inner turmoil.

    Jungkook's smile faltered. "Oh, sorry. We'll keep it down." He hesitated, then added softly, "Do you... want to join us?"

    Taehyung's gaze locked with Jungkook's.  "No," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "I just wanted to see you."

     He turned and fled, his cheeks burning with shame and the raw intensity of his emotions.  He sank to the floor in his apartment, his heart a tangled mess of hope and despair.

     Jungkook, stunned by Taehyung's confession, felt a wave of understanding wash over him. He excused himself from his friends, a newfound clarity driving his actions. He found Taehyung curled on his couch, Bam nestled in his arms.

   "Taehyung," he said softly, kneeling beside him. "I think Bam misses you."

   Taehyung looked up, his eyes filled with vulnerability and defiance. "Bam or you?" he challenged.

  Jungkook's lips curved into a tender smile.  "Both," he admitted, his voice a low rumble. He leaned in, his gaze searching Taehyung's. "Can I kiss you?"

    Taehyung, his heart soaring, nodded.  Jungkook's lips met his, a gentle exploration that deepened into a passionate embrace. The kiss culminated with stolen glances, whispered confessions, and unspoken desires. It was a promise of something real, something lasting.
When they finally broke apart, breathless and trembling, Taehyung's eyes sparkled with mischief. "So," he teased, his voice husky. "You like me."

   Jungkook chuckled, the tension finally broken. "Yeah," he confessed, his thumb tracing the curve of Taehyung's cheek. "I really, really like you."

     Taehyung pulled him closer, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "Come on," he whispered, his voice laced with playful invitation. "Bam wants to watch a movie."

    And as they settled on the couch, Bam curled up contentedly between them; they knew this was just the beginning of their story, woven from shared moments, unexpected connections, and a love that bloomed amidst the chaos and beauty of their lives.
