¤ swallowing an eggshell ¤

One month later:

Taehyung was practicing cooking the perfect set of scrambled eggs anyone has ever put in his mouth- if only he could keep the damn eggshells from falling in the skillet. He pulled another small piece out and threw it away so Namjoon wouldn't see. It helped that he was currently having a conversation on the phone with Jungkook. Namjoon had asked Jungkook to fill his spot at the convention. He had apologized and then quit his job taking all of his personal equipment with him. His lab was overcrowding and he was planning on visiting the summer house he constructed Tae in.

"yeah yeah, I'll think about it Kook," Namjoon said turning to watch his boyfriend flicking eggshells out of the bowl.

"I don't fucking know," he said getting rather irritated that Jungkook noticed he was getting soft.

"yeah you're probably right, but that doesn't mean you can use that against me. I am still older than you" he huffed.

"alright bye" he hung up the phone "Smells good Tae baby," he said smelling the air: slightly burnt toast and overcooked eggs. Taehyung beamed with pride as he dished out the portions. 

"Vuala dinner is served," he handed Namjoon his plate and sat down on the counter. The first bite was delicious Tae wolfed down all of his eggs in record time not getting a single shell. He must be getting good at picking them out. He watched Namjoon eat his food smiling with such pride and joy. 

Namjoon, on the other hand, was debating on swallowing an eggshell or spitting it out. He glanced one more time at Tae and decided his stomach could handle the shells.

Three hours later Namjoon was throwing up in the toilet while Tae bawled his eyes out not knowing what to do. He sat beside Namjoon the whole time crying on the bathroom floor and getting Namjoon a rag when he asked for one. His tears slid down his face as he watched Namjoon's pale sweaty face lean back on the cool bathtub. "Are you okay Joonie?" he timidly asked.

"I should be asking you that" Namjoon smirked looking at Tae.

"I'm sorry," Tae said "I just didn't know what else to do and it made me sad that you were sick" he pouted and looked on the verge of crying again.

"Its okay come here," Namjoon said opening up his arms "I feel better now," he said pulling the smaller boy in his arms. He comforted Tae by patting his back like you would a small child, he realized recently that he learned a lot from his mother even though she was rather strict sometimes. He hadn't seen his mother in a long time, nor his father. He saw his sister almost a year ago. But he needed to get his own life fixed before his family would try to break it. He wanted to marry Taehyung and he knew that no one else would compare. 

He also had this rather weird fantasy where Taehyung was pregnant, no doubt he could make that happen but they needed time. He wanted to move them and get a fully functioning lab. Lord knows that he has enough money to live comfortably the rest of their lives, but he needed a hobby that wasn't Taehyung.

"You know Jungkook and I was talking about us moving," Namjoon said when Tae sat back awkwardly sitting on his legs uncomfortably. "When? Where? Why?" he asked looking rather confused, "I thought we liked it here"

"I do like it here, but it's rather crowded" and if they wanted kids he thought "I need a bigger lab and I am going to sell the summer retreat," he said.

Taehyung nodded "That place is rather horrid," he said remembering the cold nights he had.

"Yep and actually I hired someone to look for the perfect house. Any day now they are going to be given a tour" he said settling his hand's on Tae's hips. 

Tae was bouncing on his knees and gave a constricting hug to Namjoon "Yay I'm happy if you're happy" he pressed a kissed to Joon's cheek. He stood up and pulled his boyfriend up as well. "Let's go cuddle on the couch" Tae suggested. "And watch all of your sappy dramas?" Namjoon asked. "Cuddling wouldn't be complete without it" Tae stated.

Tae pushed Namjoon down on the couch first and crawled beside him after. Namjoon put on the show and wrapped his arm around Tae nuzzling into the soft hair that had grown out in the back.

A few minutes into the show Namjoon's phone was rather vibrating obnoxiously in his back pocket. He pulled it out an answered the unknown number and rested his head on Tae's.

"Hello," he asked.

"Is this Joonie?" an equally deep voice asked.

"Who the hell is this?" Namjoon asked.

"Its Yoongi, please don't hang up," he asked and while Namjoon really wanted to block his number he didn't because he had never heard Min sounding this anxious.

"K what?" he asked.

"Its Jimin" he spoke softly "He needs help. I don't know what to do. His mechanical pieces have been malfunctioning" in a hushed tone as if Jimin was in the room as well.

"Come crawling to me hmmm? You don't care about anyone especially you're a little experiment. So what do you really what?'" he asked.

"Joonie...please. He was the best thing I created. I can't lose that" he said "I'm in town and I'm driving to your house now" the line went dead.

"Fuck," Namjoon said. Tae turned around and looked at him curiously "what?"

"Min is coming over. I think we are gonna have to use the summer house one more time" he explained "Jimin needs me to fix him to be like you" he said smiling.

"I'm glad you fixed me well" Tae giggled hugging Namjoon "me too baby"
