✔ || Save Me [[SEQUEL to DISTRACT ME]]

Chapter 26

Jeongguk arched off the mattress, pushing his clothed (why were they still in clothes) abdomen up into Taehyung's splayed hand. The elder hummed approvingly and bent to kiss his sternum. A soft whimper escaped Jeongguk's lips and he squirmed, silently begging for more, more, more.

"Patience, jagi." Jeongguk almost moaned at the nickname. He'd just missed it so, so much. "I want to enjoy you."

That made Jeongguk moan. Taehyung smiled lovingly at him before running a hand over the sheets by Jeongguk's waist. "I missed this bed. I missed sleeping with you."

"You're an ass," Jeongguk breathed.

Taehyung sighed in agreement. "Yeah, I get a little stubborn when I'm angry."

"A little?" Jeongguk repeated, cracking open an eye to look at the sheepish elder. "Were you ever going to talk to me if it weren't for the other members basically forcing it?"

"Eventually, yes." He wetted his lips, "I'm sorry, jagi. I shouldn't have - I should have - I'm sorry. I was -"

Jeongguk rested a hand against Taehyung's mouth. The elder snatched it away, bringing the knuckles to his lips. Jeongguk's heart fluttered as his boyfriend started to pepper kisses along his fingers. "We're done apologizing. Both of us."

Taehyung nodded, blowing out a soft, ticklish breath. "I love you, Jeongguk-ah."

"I love you too," Jeongguk promised, easing off the elder's shirt.

He almost gasped at the sight of his tummy - it was smaller than before, which would need to be fixed, but still just as tantalizing. Still made of honey and fluff, with a little muscle melted overtop of said fluff. Taehyung blushed and helped the maknae sit up to pull off his shirt as well, dropping his head to bite experimentally at his shoulder. Jeongguk's figure was sharper than Taehyung's - more pointed edges than soft curves - and they both thought that juxtaposition made them even more perfect for each other.

Shirts removed, Taehyung set to work relearning Jeongguk's body. He went agonizingly slow, but Jeongguk didn't mind. It gave him a chance to do his own exploring, trailing his fingers everywhere they could reach as Taehyung brushed heavenly kisses across his shoulders, neck, and chest. Taehyung paused when Jeongguk found his hair, tilting into the maknae's hand. Mesmerized, Jeongguk toyed with the black locks, curious as to how such a simple color could be so beautiful. It was long enough to get a good handful, which Jeongguk did, and braid it through one's fingers. It was soft too, and feathery against the maknae's skin. Absently, he murmured, "I like you with long hair."

Taehyung looked at him with hooded eyes. "Then I'll let it grow."

Jeongguk hummed in approval, and Taehyung pressed a final peck to his sternum before crawling up to meet his lips. The kiss was gentle and needy, and Jeongguk tangled his fingers in the elder's hair to coax him closer. It worked, and when he parted his lips, Taehyung slipped his tongue inside.

Suddenly, Taehyung shifted just so, and Jeongguk just about came off the bed, a loud mewl ripping from his throat. Taehyung dropped a hand to his stomach, holding him down, and grinned, "God, you're needy."

"F-fuck off, hyung," Jeongguk moaned.

"You should have said 'fuck you'," Taehyung sighed, shaking his head. "Then I could have said, 'gladly.' Awesome joke opportunity, missed."

Jeongguk glared up at him, but it melted into an easy grin. "Jesus, you haven't spoken to me in two weeks, but the second I don't want you to talk, you just can't shut up."

Taehyung raised his eyebrows. "Excuse me?"

"Fine," Jeongguk rolled his eyes, giving in. "Fuck you."
