Missing you

Chapter four

" Umm... Jungkook? Where am I gonna sleep? " Taehyung scratched his head, rather cutely. " Oh, well I was thinking you could sleep in Jimin's room, I'm sure he wouldn't mind. "
Jungkook looked up from the screen, faced Tae, and cocked his head. " That's ok with you, right? "
Taehyung nodded. " Yeah, yeah that's ... fine. " there was, however, some discomfort in his voice.
" So, what's for dinner? " Jungkook stopped playing for a few seconds when he heard the question, and smacked his head.
" I knew I forgot something! " He got up from the floor and grabbed his phone. " Is fast food ok? " Taehyung grinned. " Sure. Now can I can back to beating your ass at this? "
" Yeah, like you were winning. "

It was after their dinner of McDonald's when a storm arrived.
" This is one of the heaviest rains I've ever seen...!!! " Taehyung whispered, back hugging Jungkook. " Yeah... it is. And um, would you let go of me so I could brush my teeth? "
Taehyung grinned and obliged. " Id better get ready too. Goodnight Jungkook! " the smiling boy said, skipping to Jimin's room.
" Goodnight Taehyung. "
*
It wasn't the notrious dream that woke Jungkook that night, but the booming sound of thunder. BANG! FLASH! went the storm.
" Aish... " Jungkook closed his eyes, and tried to sleep again, before he heard a slight knock. There it was again. Knock, knock, pitter patter pitter patter FLASH...
Jungkook stood up, got out of bed, and opened his room door. Out there, was a shivering, tiny, Taehyung.
" Hey... I was wondering... could I sleep with you? Just tonight.... Please?!?! "
Jungkook's eyes widened at Taehyung's strange request, then softened at his puppy eyes.
" Well... sure, I guess. " Jungkook stood aside to let Taehyung enter, and the terrified boy ran and jumped onto Jungkook's bed. " You know what? I think your bed's comfier Than Jimin's."
*
Thunder boomed every few seconds, and Taehyung whimpered at them all.
Jungkook awkwardly slept on the left side of the bed, wincing whenever he heard Taehyung whimper.
   He fought with himself what to do, then simply gave up and shifted to face Taehyung.
   " Taehyung ah? Are you okay? "
The boy next to him whimpered once more before answering. " Jeon Jungkook, do I look like I'm ok? "
  Jungkook smiled. " Well if you still have the spirit to make jokes, I suppose you'll be fine... "
   " NO!! Please... stay. "
   " Who said anything about leaving? This is my room you know. " Lightning flashed outside Jungkook's window, and Taehyung gripped a pillow tightly- Jungkook's pillow in fact- and didn't let go.
   " Taehyung? Can you let go of my pillow? " " No! I need something to hug. "
   Jungkook smiled, and joked, " Oh really? Take your own pillow. "
   " Jungkook ah! Have mercy! " Taehyung pouted and Jungkook started to laugh. " You can have it... "
Both boys got comfortable and closed their eyes, right before thunder boomed extra loud, and lightning flashed once more.
       Taehyung shivered, and Jungkook watched him shamefully. There was a strange desire in his head, one he didn't feel often, and he didn't know it, but it was love.
   Things were different with Taehyung. He seemed to actually like him for who he was instead of his wealth passed down from his father. He hadn't known anyone else who treated him that way, other than Jimin.
   He made up his mind and shifted closer to Taehyung. " Hey, Taehyung? "
    " Ye-a-a-h-h? " Jungkook stared at the shivering, whimpering boy afraid of the storm, and thought back to himself in his dreams. " Do... do you want a hug? "
   Taehyung's eyes widened but immediately said yes. He set Jungkook's pillow aside and moved forward in the sheets to get closer.
   Jungkook smiled, and pulled the boy close. It didn't feel strange, simply because- he saw the boy as a reflection of himself when younger and in his dreams.... but in reality. Someone comforted him in his dreams, why not help someone who needed the exact same thing as him?
   Thunder boomed but Taehyung didn't seem to shiver so much in Jungkook's embrace. " Th-a-n-n-ks... Jungkook... " " Yeah... anytime. "
    They fell asleep that way, arms around each other at a close distance,
hugging each other for comfort.
   It wasn't a feeling both of them felt often. They had only met each other yet they had a connection. It was... special.

Their position looks something like this:

Also bless Taekook!
