[28] Intertwined

A constant beat thumped against Jungkook's palm, steadily raising his awareness.

His eyelashes fluttered, gently letting in light to his eyes, gradually awakening from a deep slumber, his body giving him time to adjust to the pain that would course through it in a moment.

He saw the most beautiful sight on earth sitting beside him, hand pulsing with life, head tilted to one side of the chair, mouth slightly open, chest rising and falling peacefully.

Taehyung.

His hair fell into his partially covered eyelids, gently laying over his beautiful eyes, and his legs were splayed, jutting out from the chair as he breathed.

Jungkook couldn't help but smile, his heart filling at the sight of his beloved sleeping peacefully, their hands cemented together by Tae's tight grip.

He started to attempt to move closer, to wake him from his sleep, but as soon as he began to maneuver his body, his shoulder and chest protested, leaving him writhing in pain.

Taehyung awoke, startled by the loud groan that emitted from Jungkook's mouth, grasping even tighter to Jungkook's hand that he had not let go of the entire night.

He realized Jungkook was trying to move and leapt onto the bed, careful not to jostle him too hard, given his fragile state.

Finally, he detatched their hands only to move his sweaty, tired palm to stroke Jungkook's face, whispering, "Baby, baby, no. Shhhhh."

He gave Jungkook the widest grin he could manage, running his fingers through the dark locks that crowned Jungkook's head, calming the younger down.

"Baby don't try to move. You're badly injured," Tae still smiled, his heart bouncing when the artist finally responded with a smile of his own.

"I... I just want to be closer to you," Jungkook weakly mustered, moving his good arm to grab Taehyung's wrist, begging him to stay.

"Where am I, anyways?" Jungkook suddenly questioned, studying the room and luxurious bed he was layed upon, then began to blush as he realized his location.

"My bedroom, baby," Taehyung chuckled, slowly lying next to Jungkook, still being careful not to hurt him, "Although I had hoped that you would be here by choice and not necessity."

Jungkook snuggled even closer to Taehyung, despite the ache that wrought his body. Taehyung's warmth provided the comfort he desired, more than any temporary pain that would come from moving.

"I would have chosen to be here after last night anyway," Jungkook boldly stated, blushing as he said it, but not covering his face as he normally would have.
