bad + yoonseok

yoongi watched absently as cigarette smoke filtered through the air. the familiar smell comforted him slightly as he sat in the cold.

he swayed slightly on his skateboard struggling to keep his eyes open. he was tired, he was always tired though.

though he had bigger worries to think about, he had the boy from yesterday on his mind.

hoseok

he'd seen the boy around school often. his smile was so addictive he could spot it from miles away. however yesterday was their first real interaction.

seeing hoseok getting beat up was something he never wanted to witness again. the idea of hoseok in pain made him both angry and sad.

he didn't know why he'd grown so attached to someone he'd had one conversation with. he played the moment over and over again in his head like a movie scene. how hoseok's smile was just as warm and bright even with blood pouring out of his nose. he wasn't sure how that was even possible.

he watched as students began leaving the school. he didn't bother going in today but was waiting for his friend, taehyung.

he scanned the bodies for his red haired companion and eventually spotted him. they made eye contact and taehyung rushed over.

"hey dude" he sported his usual rectangle smile. his red hair matched his red tie that hung untied around his neck. he looked scruffy but somehow good; shirt untucked and messy black eyeliner.

"how was school?" yoongi asked as taehyung sat next to him
"boring" tae snatched yoongi's packet of cigarettes out of his pocket
"i heard you got into a fight with doyun"

yoongi sighed "barely. he had it coming anyway"
"true. what was it about?" the red head lit the cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"he was picking on some kid" yoongi shrugged
"wow. heroic" taehyung laughed
"boy or girl?"
"boy"
"was he hot?" taehyung jabbed yoongi in the arm, wiggling his eyebrows.

"shut up" yoongi snatched his cigarettes back.

hoseok stayed behind at school, deciding to work on his art project.

it was around 4:45 when he realised he needed to head home. the sun was beginning to go down and the wintry air was crisp and cold.

most students were home by now so the school was mostly empty. hoseok hurriedly packed his backpack and rushed out of the building.

he quickly exited the school and ran, knowing he'd probably be in trouble for being late. he'd gotten a few metres away from the school and stopped before the busy road when he noticed his bag was open.

"fuck" he muttered as he checked through the bad desperately, hoping nothing had fallen out.

he was just about to panic when he heard a cough from behind him. he span around and his breath left his lungs for a few seconds.

yoongi stood before him, he wasn't in his school uniform; he was wearing an all black with a big leather jacket that drowned him slightly. he smelt of cigarette smoke.

"you dropped this" he handed hoseok a small book that'd fell out of his bag. hoseok took it gratefully, it was his sketchbook.

words didn't seem to come out when he opened his mouth, he just sort of stared at yoongi for a minute. he hadn't seen him at school, much to his disappointment, and was beginning to wonder if he'd dreamt the whole thing. yoongi definitely looked like he could be the product of a dream.

"thank you" he eventually stuttered
yoongi nodded and stood still for a few seconds. they awkwardly looked at each other before yoongi went to leave

"um-" hoseok started "do you... like food?"
"food?" yoongi smiled slightly, making hoseok turn red. why was talking so difficult suddenly?

"yeah..." he looked away
"i do" yoongi put his hands in his pockets and waited expectantly while hoseok tried to form full sentences.

"do you want to get some sometime? maybe?" he asked
"do i want to get food sometime?" yoongi repeated
"like, together" hoseok clarified "i feel like i owe you... you keep coming to my rescue" he laughed

yoongi's smile faded from amused to a little shy
"it's ok, you don't owe me anything"
"i know, but still..." hoseok trailed off, staring at the floor.

"ok" yoongi said making hoseok look up
"ok?"
"ok, you can buy me food" yoongi grinned
"uh..." hoseok tried to compose himself
"ok. great"

yoongi laughed "well, i'll probably be hungry tomorrow"
"tomorrow's great" hoseok said maybe a little too excitedly "will you be at school?"
"i don't know. i'll wait here if i'm not though"
"ok. cool"

they looked at each other for a few more seconds before yoongi waved and muttered "bye" before turning around.

"bye" hoseok said softly, watching as the blue haired boy left again.
