DRUNK TATTOOS † TAEKOOK

"You love me right?"

Taehyung sets his backpack down on the floor, his hands fiddling with the sleeves of his sweater. His neck was wrapped with a warm and thick scarf to cover up last night's incident. A small smile on his lips, yet doubt clouds his eyes slightly.

"... Of course, what makes you think otherwise?" Hyungsik laughs softly, taking off his letterman jacket and placing it in his closet. "You can be overdramatic sometimes, baby."

Taehyung sits on his bed. "... I don't know, I was just thinking. Your friends don't like me, and your parents..."

"I'm not ready to come out yet," Hyungsik sighs, "... You understand that don't you? So don't go around and start telling people about us."

"... You said you didn't care about what other people say though!" Taehyung's eyes trail down to his lap, "... And I don't like you letting those girls keep putting their hands on you like that! You let that girl sit on your lap during lunch, and all you did was look at me! You let her just-"

"She doesn't mean anything to me," Hyungsik runs his fingers through his hair with irritation, "You're being annoying right now, and I didn't ask you to add more stress onto me. I asked you to relieve it, or I'm going to drive you home, Taehyung."

"I'm sorry, okay! I-I just... How come we can't just be a normal couple at school, huh?" Taehyung huffs, "... I want to go school with you, I want to hold hands in the hallways with you, you know I want to be with you!"

"When the time is right, Tae," Hyungsik walks over to him, cupping his cheeks, "You are precious, but it would be embarrassing to start having you around as a boyfriend."

"... Embarrassing?" Taehyung asks, his jaw is gently lifted, and his eyes look up to Hyungsik's. "I'm embarrassing to you?"

Hyungsik smiles. "I could of fell in love with everybody else in the school, but I chose you. You're special, but I don't want to be shamed for it. You get it right?"

"... I don't know..."

Taehyung's uniform shirt begins to be unbuttoned by Hyungsik's hands. Taehyung tries to grab his wrist, but Hyungsik gently lies him down on his bed. Unclothing him.

"You're a beautiful boy, Taehyung," He says putting Taehyung's uniform shirt aside. "That's why I want you."

"I know you don't have anybody else around," Hyungsik's lips pressed against his neck, "... It's just you, your dad, and older brother isn't it? You don't like being lonely don't you?"

Taehyung keeps his hands to himself, not wanting to upset Hyungsik. "... Yeah.." He mumbles, tilting his head to the side.

He would be happy to have alone time with Hyungsik usually, but today felt different.

The love felt more artificial than usual.

"... Then don't make me leave you," Hyungsik says. "... What we do, it makes me happy. It makes me want to stay. Don't you want me by your side?"

"... Yes..."

"... Then you know what to do..."
