Try Again (JiKook)

Eight

"Jungkook doesn't like cranberry sauce, hyung," Jimin stopped the older omega before the mistake was made.
"Look at you. Park Jimin, the Jeon expert," Jin smiled teasingly.
Jimin blushed and kicked his legs against the counter doors, "I've lived with him for a month now, I just know."
"Welcome to being mated," Jin sat down Jungkook's plate and picked up another one, piling it full of Nam Joon's favorites.
"Hyung...is it normal to," the younger gulped and looked around before continuing, "want to..."
Jin eyed him before picking up Jungkook's plate, "Out with it, child. Don't let those words clog your throat."
Jimin hopped down and followed Jin into the dining room.
They started setting the table and Jimin suddenly asked, "Is it normal to want to touch him all the time?"
Jin paused, slowly looking up to his friend, "Well, I suppose...under normal circumstances, all the time wouldn't be normal. But you deprived yourself for years and I guess...you might be craving what you were missing."
Jimin nodded, looking down to his fingers that rested on the back of one of the chairs, "So...Jungkook won't get tired of me wanting that, will he?"
"I don't think so," Jin shook his head and smiled, "He loves you after all and he'd do whatever it takes to make you happy."
"Thanks hyung," Jimin smiled back.
"No problem," the older nodded to him.

"Jin-hyung's food is amazing!," Jimin stretched his arms over his head as they came through the front door.
Jungkook lightly laughed at him and took off his jacket, draping it over the back of the sofa.
Jimin kicked his shoes off before turning around and falling into his alpha's arms.
"Sleepy yet?," Jung shifted most of Jimin's weight to his left arm.
"No. Does your arm hurt?"
"A little, but I'll be okay. Just have to let it heal is all," Kook leaned down and kissed the smaller's nose.
Jimin was calm for a second, but the next time he blinked his eyes were gold.
Jungkook's mouth became dry and he could tell by Jimin's breathing that the omega had something on his mind.
"Alpha," he squeaked.
Jungkook responded by simply running his fingers through the others hair.
"Jin-hyung...said that it was okay for me to want to touch you. But I just...you're not annoyed with all this are you?"
"No, Omega," Jungkook gave him a small smile, "I'm not. I'll give you whatever you need to make you happy."
Jimin giggled at that and hugged his mate, "That's pretty much what Jin-hyung said you would say."
"Well, what Jin-hyung says isn't everything I want to say."
"What's on your mind Alpha?"
"A lot, Jimin," Jungkook pulled the smaller male closer, pressing a light kiss into his hair.
"Then start talking," Jimin closed his eyes.
The alpha exhaled and looked around the room before he looked down to Jimin. Despite it being dark, he could make out Jimin's facial features, or maybe he had them memorized.
"Alpha, I promise not to tell Jin-hyung anything. You can talk to me, you know."
"I know," Jungkook's hands came up to Ji's cheeks, "I just don't know where to start."
"Start simple. One of the smaller things."
After a couple more seconds, Jungkook nodded, "I like having you here to play games with me."
Jimin smiled, his Omega gold eyes shining in the darkness, "I only play Just Dance though."
"It's still fun," Kook shrugged, "You even make....coming home fun. It used to be so quiet here, but you're...the exact opposite."
Jimin closed his eyes, laying his head against his alpha's chest.
"And it's nice to have someone who knows how to cook. I think I've actually lost weight since I stopped eating so much takeout and it's all because you're here. Then...," the younger inhaled through his teeth, "I'm never cold anymore. I like that you cuddle up with me."
"It makes you feel like an alpha," Jimin quietly remarked.
"Yes, it does," he ran his fingers through Jimin's hair again, lightly scratching his scalp, "You're so caring, too. The other night when I came home...I really felt how much you care about me. Why else would you take care of me like that?"
"And," Jung smiled to himself and breathed out, "Something completely irrelevant, but, your hands are so adorable. I like watching you do things because it's cute how you grab stuff."
Jimin giggled at that and Kook chuckled, "My hands are weird though."
"They're perfect. Just like the rest of you," the alpha brought his omega's hand to his lips and kissed each finger, "I bet they'd look even better with a ring on this finger," Jungkook placed an extra kiss on Jimin's ring finger.
"What?," Jimin's omega gold eyes glowed through the darkness as he looked up to the younger.
"You're my mate and I haven't even bought you anything to celebrate it. We'll go out tomorrow. You won't have to cook and we can get whatever you like."
"Jungkook," Jimin jumped up, wrapping himself around his Alpha, and Jung's left arm crossed under his thighs to keep him up, "You're such a good alpha."
Kook nuzzled his mate and Jimin pulled back a bit so that he could do the same.
