Sleepless

"Jimin's got a boyfriend! Jimin's got a boyfriend!" Hoseok skipped around his brother, chanting loudly. A fiery-orange hat sat backwards on his head, not even doing its job of protecting him from the hot Daegu sun. They were walking to the quaint auditorium on campus after a long day of classes, where Yoongi would be participating in a student-directed rap battle. Yoongi was going up against some third year kid named Namjoon, but no one really knew who he was compared to Yoongi. Yoongi had a very distinct personality and everyone knew him.

"He's not my boyfriend."

"You almost lost your virginity to him!"

"No, actually. I said he couldn't have it yet and then he kicked me out and drove off."

"Okay... That's worse."

Jimin wore his best jeans— the ones with holes going up and down the legs— and a simple white t-shirt with a leather jacket. Though it was a very nice day, Jimin felt oddly cold. His mood was more down than usualC and he knew that his brother had noticed because all day, he had been acting extra goofy to cheer him up. However, it wasn't really working, and Jimin started to wonder why he even agreed to come to the event.

At the entrance, Hoseok stopped him and held him at arms length by the shoulders. "Okay. So Yoongi will never say this to your but it really means a lot to him that you're coming. I think he thinks of you as more than just a guy he can fuck around with, but he really isn't in a place where he can admit that. He has a lot of problems, Jimin. Like a lot. But he's changed a lot since he's met you. He doesn't nearly get as drunk as he used to... That's good! Please, try to be happy while you're here. At least for Yoongi's sake."

Jimin nodded, offered a half-smile, and made his way into the auditorium.

A light fog filled the dark room, and at first Jimin couldn't really see anything. He stopped a few feet in, Hoseok crashing into him with an annoyed grunt. Squinting around the room, Jimin adjusted his glasses; he took them off and cleaned them, but before he could slip them back onto his face, Hoseok was pulling him away from the doors and deeper into the crowd. Nothing had started yet— unnecessarily loud music played and constant chatter was all he heard. He couldn't even hear himself think.

"There's your boyfriend. Go have fun." Hoseok yelled as he shoved a still-glassesless Jimin into Yoongi.

Familiar arms wrapped around his waist as he shoved his glasses onto his face, and fingertips he knew so well slipped into the back of his pants, sending a chill down his spine. Jimin looked up to see Yoongi's signature smirk playing over his lips, and instantly a smile found its way to his own.

"Hyung."

"Hey bitch. You decided to come?"

Jimin nodded, his teeth catching his bottom lip to hide the ferociously wide grin that was about to break out on his face. "Anything for you."

With a groan, Yoongi squeezed Jimin's ass before pulled away, the music fading and someone talking very loudly into the speakers. "Ah, I could just take you right now. But that's my cue... Fuck ya later, bitch."

Jimin smiled as Yoongi— his Yoongi— made his way to the stage. He seemed happier than usual today, which was an odd turn of events. Jimin hardly got any sleep the previous night, especially after mulling over late-night excursions with Yoongi. It had only been a little over a month since the letters were drawn into his skin, yet he felt like he had known Yoongi for years. Well, on a superficial level. Yoongi had plenty of walls set up, and even a cute Jimin wasn't going to get past those easily. Jimin didn't mind, though. All that really hurt him was that Yoongi hadn't changed one bit toward either him or his friend; he was still the 'bitch' and Jungkook was still the victim. Taehyung only cast glances— often full of hatred— toward Jimin. Hoseok, loud and annoying as ever, ensured that everyone on campus knew that Park Jimin belonged to Min Yoongi.

A voice from the speakers drew his attention to the stage, and Hoseok's cackle right in his ear told him that he was the one pushing the younger boy to the front of the crowd, closer to the stage. "This one goes out to my main."

The crowd fell silent as Min Yoongi dropped another one of his marvelous masterpieces.

"Yoongi-ah."

"Hyung."

A giggle.

"Yoongi-ahhh!"

"I'm hyung."

More giggles. A snort.

"Mmm... Yoongi."

"Yoongi...?"

"Hyung!"

Jimin erupted into a loud fit of giggles, leaning heavily on Yoongi as the beer sloshed from the can. The kid had a low tolerance for alcohol, that was for sure. What Yoongi didn't know for sure was whether or not he regretted his decision to get the younger boy drunk. Jimin took another swig of beer, his eyes never changing from the little crescents. He had to admit, a drunk Jimin was really cute. Annoying as fuck, but really cute. He took the can of beer from Jimin and finished it off, crumpling the can and tossing it aside.

"No more."

The younger protested loudly, and Yoongi quieted him with a kiss. Instantly, almost all of the weight was pressed into him as he held Jimin close, afraid of letting him go lest he stumble into the hood of a moving car. The parking lot seemed harmless, but they had just come from an afterparty celebrating Yoongi's win. Many people were climbing into cars and pulling away, and as annoying as the younger was acting, he didn't want him to go down that way. Getting him to Yoongi's car was one thing... Getting him back to his house off campus was another. Yoongi decided against bringing a drunk Jimin home to a loud and annoying Hoseok.

Once they were secured in the car, Jimin was out like a lightbulb. Yoongi slammed his palm on the top of the steering wheel, cursing at himself. Soft snores could already be heard from the passenger side, and Yoongi caught himself wondering how he would feel about hearing that sound every night.

"Wait why the fuck are you thinking about that?" Yoongi shook his head as he pulled out of the auditorium parking lot and headed toward his dorm. "Damn, Yoongi. One month and you're already whipped by this little shit."
