GARDEN
JIMIN'S TONGUE
IS MADE OF
STRAWBERRY SEEDS.

||

GRIEVING. the boy sharpened his tongue with the seeds of a strawberry, the bittersweet concoction of sugar and sour lingering on the tip of his tongue. butterscotches emptied the seeds from his tongue however, the smallest dose making him remain saccharine for taehyung's taste. puckered lips, shy gaze morphing the flowers into jaw-dropped puppies. as he moved his leaves, they felt as if he were trapped in a puddle of honey.

he had been asleep for two weeks, unwatered and hungry, the sweetness absorbed into the layer of taehyung's leaves. he had grabbed his shoulders and shook him, peering into those blanketed chocolate eyes so dilated, he could see the galaxies sprinkled within them. the gardenia, his name was hoseok, had touched his leaves, the caress whispering into his, beckoning for a slap that was left dangling in the air. lavender left him cold inside, the warmth in his lungs had drifted towards the ends of his stem. taehyung could only watch the maroon bleed from his inner crevices, blood dribbling over into a burgundy stained on his fingertips. the hug had sealed his fate; he watched his lips burn a sky blue like the skies had once been, taehyung watered him.

apricots rested on his thighs, curved and a perfect fit underneath taehyung's flushed hand, eyes never leaving his. the juice dribbled over onto his chin, spilling onto his flesh. he winced, watching the juice freeze underneath the cold glaze shot from one of the flowers, petals unwound and decorating the soil in a hue meshed of paled coral and a hint of engelwood, fertilizer sticking to his roots. the boy had shivered underneath taehyung's touch, enveloping himself in his arms. as he moved towards taehyung, he could feel the tremble in his heartbeat.

"no one understands what i feel for you, stranger. i think we have something more beautiful than their petals."

taehyung hovered over him slightly, petting his hair with his free leaf, as the other one was spotting with hints of a climatic wine on the edges of his thorns, a fruit punch taste now sizzling against the boy's small frame. he was truly becoming a holly, sweetened and growing thickly underneath the weight of the snowfall.

frozen fingers had brought them to their knees, scars dug and slit against their soft layers and watching as the snow wet them into foliage, taehyung's hair sprouting a honey blonde amidst his dark brown, green laced into the centers. the boy now giggled into his neck, perched underneath the sun now poking out underneath the thick canvas of champagne, bubbling and dripping off into his hair, morphing it into a distilled gray. tangled within another, graceful and breathing each other's oxygen, they knew one of them would break.

"stranger, never tell me your name. i can already taste it on your lips."

nectarine lips lightly touched strawberried ones, coated in a dizzy red now changing into a color of vermillion with the apricot juice grazing his mouth.

a sharp intake of breath and roaming hands, leaves splintered at the ends and stems now bulging with toxicity, acid had grown underneath the soil beneath them, the gardenia now hissing to himself, hoseok dampening the soil with the hitch of his lavender petal. although beautiful, he couldn't distract the kiss; the kiss that carried on into the realms of day and night, them melting into one other so carelessly, they couldn't care about the stream of tears accumulating on the tip of his petal.

cherries emptied and lungs disarrayed, the boy smiled to himself against taehyung's lips, eyes slowly meeting the flowers, whom were now frozen in their places as if snow had resided in his torso wrapped below a section of popped thorns; intoxicated by the seeds dangling off his lips and taehyung's never-ending adoration cracking the cement across from the garden.

"you will never have me."
