"My question for you is, when did you find out you had cancer?" Taehyung shrugged at Hoseok's question, thinking a moment before replying "about four and a half months I think. My turn, why'd you hurt yourself?" Hoseok bit his lip, moving to sit beside the younger on the beds edge "I used to cut back when I was in school, but I got better. I guess I relapsed after you left..." Taehyung frowned, staring down at his hands "so it's my fault" Hoseok shook his head quickly, gripping the younger's hands "no it's not. Don't think that it is, I'm ok now, that's all that matters right?" Taehyung slowly nodded, still frowning as Hoseok began his question "are you in any pain?" The younger shrugged slightly "it comes and goes. Some days are worse than others, I'm mainly just tired from the chemo.." Hoseok swallowed the lump in his throat, shifting to face the younger "Tae, I'm tired of all these pointless questions. The point is, I love you, and I'm not leaving until you're gone. You're stuck with me" Taehyung fumbled for words, eyes watering "I love you to, so much.. I'm sorry I left, I thought it would best for everyone if I just-"

Hoseok quickly cupped the younger's cheek with his left hand as his other rested on his thigh. The sudden action made Taehyung freeze in place, anticipating the dancers next move as he stared wide eyed into Hoseok's eyes. Hoseok slowly leaned forward, lips barely ghosting over the younger's as he whispered "I love you.." Then quickly connected their lips in a desperate and needy kids. Taehyung quickly fought back for dominance, threading his fingers into the older's hair and pulling slightly as he bit down on Hoseok's lower lip. Hoseok grunted into the kiss, arms coiling around Taehyung's waist to pull him into his lap. As the younger straddled his waist, Hoseok prodded Taehyung's lips apart. As the two fought for dominance, Taehyung released a quiet moan before pulling away. His hands rested flat against Hoseok's chest for balance, taking deep breaths to catch his breath. His lungs felt like they were on fire, and he closed his eyes to focus on breathing properly. Hoseok quickly realized something wasn't right, and covered the younger's hands comfortingly "deep breaths, calm down... What's wrong?" Taehyung took one final deep breath before sighing "I'm okay, just can't do the things I used to. Everything takes energy" he forced a laugh, blushing red when Hoseok pulled him against his chest "it's okay, I'm here. From now on. I promise" Taehyung smiled, nodding against his chest with a sigh of relief "I'm sorry for leaving" Hoseok shook his head, kissing Taehyung's beanie since it covered his head "it's ok, stop worrying about it" Taehyung nodded, a small yawn leaving him as he tiredly asked "give me the short version of how you got here" Hoseok smiled "alright. Yoongi told us all, don't get mad, we were all at each other's throats so he had to in a way. When you left we all lashed out at each other, if he hadn't told us, the group probably would've split up eventually.." He sighed, slowly pulling Taehyung's beanie off and placing a gentle kiss to his bald head "he told us everything. And I feel terrible that I didn't notice something off... That's why it hurt when I tickled you, isn't it?" Taehyung was still blushing from the kiss to his head, only nodding.

Hoseok's hands rubbed up and down Taehyung's back soothingly "you should rest, I'll let you sleep" before the sleepy head could reply, Hoseok had gently moved him under the covers of his bed and pecked his forehead "I'll come see you again tomorrow, if you feel up to it.." Taehyung frowned, shaking his head "no. Stay with me tonight, please hyung, please... I don't want to be alone again" Hoseok smiled, resting his hand on Taehyung's shaven head as his thumb rubbed circles along "but I need to tell the others what happened... To let them know you're okay.." Taehyung's gaze faltered, looking off to the side with a whisper "okay hyung.." Hoseok stood up, quietly leaving the room to see Yoongi standing outside talking to Taehyung's mother. Both stopped and looked to Hoseok expectantly and the dancer smiled "he's in bed. He seemed exhausted, Yoongi you wanna head back to the dorm?" Yoongi shook his head "nah I'll go on ahead, you can stay the night if it's alright with Ms. Kim" she nodded "fine with me. You can both stay the night if you'd like, I was about to cook some dinner when you first got here. How about you both stay and head back in the morning?" Hoseok and Yoongi exchanged glances, both nodding "thank you. I'm gonna go tell Taehyung the good news"

Yoongi nodded "sounds good. I'll call Namjoon and let him know our plans" with a quick nod, Hoseok smiled and rushed back upstairs to Taehyung. But when he opened the door, the singer was no where to be seen. His eyes widened in worry, quickly calling out for him "Taehyung?!" He froze in place however when he heard singing emitting from the joint bathroom, it was Taehyung singing 'Hug Me' a smile graced his lips at the soothing tone of the younger's voice. He'd always loved Taehyung's voice, despite the deep sound, he could still sound incredibly cute. After a few a moments, he knocked on the bathroom door only to hear Taehyung cough and shout "I'm almost done mom!" Hoseok suppressed a chuckle, deciding that it wouldn't hurt to borrow some of the younger's clothes to wear to bed. He hummed along with Tae as he rummaged through several drawers of clothing, pausing when he found his old T-shirt. A fond smile broke out across his face at the memory of Taehyung wearing it back at the dorm, he'd wondered where it had disappeared to... Taehyung must've taken it with him when left. Chuckling, he found a different shirt and a pair of sweat pants, deciding they would fit.

Just as he'd finished changing the bathroom door opened to reveal Taehyung wearing nothing but a towel around his hips, with his toothbrush hanging out of his mouth in shock. Hoseok laughed, pointing at the younger in amusement "oh my god Tae you look so cute when you're confused!" Taehyung blushed, pouting, and retreating to the bathroom to finish brushing his teeth. When Taehyung remerged, he was met by Hoseok standing right before the doorway and it took exactly three seconds for him to realize that Hoseok was wearing his Attack On Titan sweatpants, and his Soul Eater T-shirt. He looked the older up and down in surprise, oblivious to Hoseok's stare.

Hoseok rested his hands on the younger's hips gently, finally snapping Taehyung out of his daze as he cleared his throat "h-hyung I've gotta get dressed.." Hoseok ignore the statement, hands trailing all the way up his sides to cup his face "how are you still so beautiful?" Taehyung swallowed thickly, nodding in the direction of his bed "c-can you pass me my beanie..?" Hoseok shook his head, placing several gentle kisses on his bald head with a smile "I like it. You can't hide behind your bangs anymore" he teased. Taehyung laughed at that, it was true. He did hide behind his hair when he was upset. Hoseok reluctantly stepped aside to let him get dressed, cursing himself for the dirty thoughts racing through his head. Despite his strong urges, Hoseok willed himself to stay calm and polite. Taehyung was sick, he needed to give him space. While the younger was about to change, Hoseok kept his back facing Taehyung out of respect.

After a few minutes, Hoseok felt arms wrap around him from behind and he knew it was Taehyung. He smiled, whirling around to hug him tightly. And when they parted he noticed that Taehyung was wearing his shirt again, with only boxers beneath. Taehyung yawned, plopping down onto his bed and snuggling into the covers "are you staying the night?" Hoseok nodded, climbing behind the younger pulling him close to his chest "yeah, Yoongi is to. We're gonna head back in the morning to update the guys" Taehyung nodded, soon dozing off.
