autumn leaves - yoongi

The wind blows quite more aggressively than usual outside. Autumn colored leaves fly all around you. Yoongi was on his back, laying his head on my lap with on knee up. I had my back pressed against the bark of the tree while I play with his hair. It was so soft and fluffy. 

Mr. Sun was out but still the cool breeze made me shiver a bit. Yoongi noticed and unwrapped his flannel from his waist. He handed it to me over his head. I put on his flannel and smiled because his scent was ricocheting from the piece of clothing. I mumbled a thank you to him and he grinned. He was proud of himself for being a good boyfriend.

Yoongi got a hold of a bright orange leaf and said, "(y/n), look at this leaf." He sat up and held it for me to see. "It's really pretty."

"Oh, yeah, it is." I agree, taking the leaf in my own hand. 

He picked up a dull yellow leaf beside him and showed it to me again. "This one is, too."

I chuckle at his childishness. "Are you going to tell me every leaf is pretty?"

All types and colors of autumn leaves scattered around us. Yoongi laughed along and placed another leaf in my lap. "I can't help it. Every leaf is pretty."

"What do you mean, Yoongi?" I raise a brow. "Are you trying to reference it to something else?"

He shrugged. "You see, since these leaves are pretty, you know the next leaves that grow and fall are definitely going to be pretty too." 

"Why do leaves fall?" I ask, curiously.

"Leaves fall because the tree doesn't have enough water to hold onto it. Leaves fall so trees can survive through the winter and grow new leaves in the spring." he explains with patience.

"Let's say, if I were the tree and you were the leaves," I began, "I wouldn't have enough love for you to keep you. I'd just replace you, just like that?"

Yoongi remains calm and answers in a soothing voice, "It depends." He looks into your eyes. "What if you were the tree and I was the branches?"

"Then we'd be one."

He smiled. "Being one?" His eyes sparkled brightly. "Isn't that love?"

Yoongi grabbed my hand and pulled me into a hug. He caressed my hair, gently.

"I love you, branch." I say, leaning my head against his chest. I could hear his heart beating faster and faster.

"I love you, tree."

Trees lose lots of water in the summer. In autumn, they don't have enough water to support the leaves. Leaves fall and scatter all around the tree in hopes of reconnecting to it. Through the winter, trees spend their time being lonely. They wish for companions. In the spring, new leaves grow and replace the old ones. The tree is happy again, but the old leaves get blown away into another place, only to be mistreated. The only way the tree stayed and remained okay during the winter was because of the branches. The branches loved autumn because they believed the leaves were tears the tree wanted to shed away.The branches made sure the tree stayed strong. The branches knew the tree was their everything. Without the tree, the branches wouldn't be here today. 

She opened my eyes. She was the center of my life. The very main thing keeping me alive and breathing. She was my tree.
