JIMIN stared at the tub yoongi sat in.

the strange boy stared back at yoongi like he did earlier from the pond.

the tub was filled with water stained pink and sprinkled in gold glitter from the bathbomb yoongi begged jimin to use.

"this is so weird." jimin shook his head while a frown etched across yoongi's features. his dark eyes were concealed from his bangs that was still fluffy and dry.

"i-" he disregarded his previous thought, not knowing what he wanted to say anyway. "do you need anything else?"

he was given an eager nod, "technology, please." yoongi sat up straighter so he could speak properly.

jimin forced himself to stare into yoongi's eyes rather than at his collarbones. after all, this was no time to get horny over a boy who sleeps in bathtubs.

"i'll be right back," the younger grumbled, turning out of the bathroom. jimin looked around his room for his old laptop. he didn't care much for it, it barely worked, so it being near water wasn't much of a big deal to him.

he knocked before entering, just in case yoongi was getting freaky and decided to stand up rather than remain seated.

fortunately, the older was still eerily placed in the same position; eyes above the water like a hippo.

"you're not actually a cannibal, are you?" jimin asked, setting the laptop down on the corner between the tub and the window.

he felt that when the boy mentioned eating him earlier, it may have been in a different sense than he thought.

yoongi was blunt. his expression was as dead as voice, "i can't be a cannibal if i'm not human."

"what?"

yoongi ignored him. "and i don't want to eat you. i'd just feed you to a friend—but they're all on diets, so i don't think that'd work."

yoongi glided over to the other side of the tub, causing the glitter to swirl in a pattern and follow behind him.

momentarily, jimin was mesmerized. that was until he fully registered yoongi's words. "i'd brush that off, but i'm afraid you'll kill me in my sleep."

"why?" yoongi tilted his head to the side. "i have no reason to. you're pretty and you give me treats."

"treats?"

yoongi kept his eyes locked on jimin as he stuck his tongue out, dipping it into the water, capturing a few gold specks onto the muscle, and swallowing.

"i'm so confused by you." jimin stood from his crouched position. he gave one last look at yoongi before heading to leave.

standing at the doorway, his fingers hovered over the light-switch and wondered if the boy wanted it off.

"sleep well, min jimin." yoongi said, motioning for jimin to click the switch off.

so he did. and he felt indifferent towards the name he was given, kind of liking the sound it.

minseok and taemin, friends of jimin, stared at the stranger in the bathtub with growing interest.

"so, he really fell asleep like that?" taemin asked jimin, who nodded in affirmation. "and he's totally naked under the water?" minseok questioned next, earning two slaps from his friends.

the noise didn't wake yoongi up. only because the older was already awake.

his eyes remained closed because he was mildly intrigued by the situation, even if he didn't like being disturbed while he slept.

"so are you going to take him back to the police station?"

with the phrase 'police station', yoongi's eyes snapped open.

"fucking–" the boys yelled, jumping back several feet. "that shit only happens in horror movies, bitch return your mans back to the pond!" minseok shouted as he scurried back to the doorway.

"your voice doesn't match your face." yoongi said to the boy. his voice was devoid of emotion, sounding bored out of his mind.

yoongi then stretched his arms over his head and ruffled his hand through his still dry hair.

jimin was going to speak until yoongi decided to stand up. naked. dripping pink water and gold glitter.

the three boys either turned or away or shielded their gazes in complete embarrassment.

"this is wildly indecent, jimin. i'm leaving before i get a boner." taemin came back into the bathroom, only to grab minseok and drag him out of his friend's apartment.

"i know now that isn't a defensive mechanism. also, i'm aware being completely nude in front of others is weird," yoongi said to jimin, wrapping himself in a towel and peeled jimin's away from his eyes.

the younger's breath hitched when yoongi put his face in the crook of his neck, bringing his lips to jimin's ear.

"but i won't stop doing it."
