ROSE (Sequel To Fallen To Rise)

Five • You'll be fine

"Hyung, I'm nervous," Taehyung mumbled. He looked down to the floor, bitting his lip. He didn't want to look up and face the reality he was about to. He was afraid that he was going to mess up and that everyone was going to be mad at him for lying. They weren't going to mad a Hoseok though, because this was mostly Taehyung's idea.

"Taehyung-ah, are you having second thoughts? Come on, look up," Hoseok whispered. He brushed his hands under the younger's chin, gently pushing it up. Taehyung smiled at the view of his boyfriend. "Don't be nervous. You'll be amazing." Hoseok leaned in to press a soft kiss against his lips.

Taehyung kissed him back, smiling at the gentleness. He wrapped his arms around the older, digging his head into the latter's light neck after their lips left each others. Hoseok hugged the younger tightly, running a hand through his soft brown hair. "You'll be a wonderful appa, Taehyung. Maybe we should've taken care of SJ more so that we could get the hang of it, but we already love Amaterasu. We love her just from the letters and pictures we got, and hopefully our love will help us became great parents."

"That's so cheesy, hyung," Taehyung mumbled into his chest. He smiled though, because Hoseok has always been good a cheering him up and giving him hope.

"But your smiling right? J-Hope gave you hope?"

"Yeah."

Taehyung buried himself deeper into Hoseok's warm embrace. He held onto him until the intercom called heir flight, and even then Taehyung held on tightly to the others hand. He was still pressed into the others side, not wanting to leave the heat he was providing in the cold airport. And Hoseok didn't let go until they had to put their things away but he did hold back on when he plopped down next to a sleepy Taehyung.

"I love you, TaeTae," Hoseok mumbled. He carded his hands through the younger hair before kissing the top of him.

"Mm, I love you too." Taehyung let out a yawn, resting his head on the older boys shoulder. He drifted away into dreamland, Hoseok heat making it comforting and happy.
