he's water

AN opalescent gem was placed in jimin's hands once again. that same gem he was instructed to rub the first time yoongi handed it to him. the jewel was cool in jimin's now clenched fist, and as it heated up with friction from his squeezing, jimin grew increasingly nervous.

yoongi had forced the boy to shut his eyes until he gave further instructions. engulfed in complete darkness and not knowing what would happen next left jimin feeling vulnerable. his mouth dried in anticipation, only have prepared for the thing yoongi would become.

a chilling grip on jimin's wrist halted his previous actions. "jimin," the voice sounded ancient and rumbled in a universe colliding fashion. it caused the hair on jimin's neck to stand in alert and precaution.

taking this as an 'okay' to open his eyes, he did. the harsh light that quickly flooded his vision made his sight blur. after blinking to regain his focus, jimin's breath hitched and caught in his throat.

"hello." jimin greeted awkwardly, his eyes rapidly taking in what the fuck yoongi had just morphed into.

a midnight blue, scaled tail that pointed into a black tip laid behind him on the floor, curling at the end underneath the stump leg of his coffee table. wings of the same color, however semi-translucent sprung from his back. their perimeter was decorated by short but jagged, black spikes.

jimin's breath finally left his throat as he collapsed onto his couch in astonishment. his hand flew to his forehead as he checked his temperature, convinced he was having fever hallucinations.

"you're taking this surprisingly well." yoongi's mint hair fell into his eyes as he regarded jimin thoughtfully. his tail flew upwards suddenly, but since it was under the coffee table, it thumped against the underside of the wood with a loud thwack. "fuck, that hurt!" he cried, bringing his tail towards him and cradling it in his arms.

"jiminie, are your eyes okay? they keep getting bigger." yoongi crouched down so he was at eye level with the shocked boy.

when their gazes connected, jimin jumped backwards with a high pitched yelp. he fell over the backside of the couch and landed on the floor awfully hard.

"i retract my aforementioned statement." yoongi mumbled. he kneeled in the space jimin was sitting before, then peered over the back of the couch to see jimin holding his head and pouting at the scratch running along the length of his arm.

"you made me hurt myself," jimin huffed as he looked upwards at yoongi, "you creepy winged tailed man. look at what you did." he extended his arm towards yoongi to show the bright red scratch that bubbled with blood in some areas.

"how many times must i tell you i am no man?" yoongi narrowed his eyes. jimin slowly moved to his feet, brushing off his crumpled clothes. he then noticed the hoodie he let yoongi borrow was neatly folded on top of the coffee table, leaving said boy, once again, naked—as his underwear was also folded atop the hoodie.

"dude, what is your deal?" jimin's hands flew to cover his eyes. "i didn't want to tear your clothes." yoongi explained innocently. jimin's raised shoulders soon slumped with defeat, "that's actually a valid reason. never mind."

"yoongi," he said softly, his eyes still shielded, "do you think you can change back?" he asked. a grunt of agreement was given in return and a few minutes later, yoongi was dressed and looking more like a person than before.

they'd moved into jimin's room this time, sitting on his carpeted floor. "so, what exactly are you?" jimin asked, fingers curling around the beige carpet fibers.

"in simple terms, i'm like a water spirit?" the answer came out as a question. jimin opened his mouth to ask more, but yoongi continued to talk, "i'm a dragon who belongs to the element of water."

"so your friends back in the weird place, are they also dragons?"

yoongi nodded cutely, his minty hair flopping atop his head. "they belong to their own elements. it goes with our star signs." when seeing jimin's confused expression, yoongi explained further. "i was created in the season of pisces. jungkook and namjoon are virgo, so they belong to earth. taehyung also belongs to earth, he's capricorn. aquarius hoseok belongs to air, and sagittarius seokjin to fire."

jimin stayed silent, attempting to comprehend everything he was just told.

"i will go. when you feel more comfortable, come find me." yoongi made a move to stand, but his ankle was caught in place by jimin's hands.

"you don't have to go," he whispered, "don't leave me just yet." jimin pleaded, willing yoongi to sit back down with his eyes.

when the older finally brought himself back besides jimin on the carpet, jimin's heart calmed to normal and his nervous insides stopped tossing.

"by the way," yoongi snuck his arm around jimin's waist, "my friends want to come over. they're not very happy with you."

jimin no longer felt at ease.

"fuck. the dragons are going to eat me."
