Summary:
Angel AU
"Well? Fulfil our deal, my love, and I will do whatever it is you wish. Same as always?" Taehyung stuck his hand out across the table, a gesture that had Seokjin's head spinning as he swallowed his last bite of scone and pursed his lips, brushing off his hands under the table and raising his left to shake with the other.
He was just about to clasp their hands together when Taehyung snapped his away, a sculpted eyebrow-raising, an unspoken question on his lips. He wagged his finger playfully and Seokjin rolled his eyes as the younger smiled, pleased at the reaction he finally got out of him.
"Recite the deal, darling." The use of pet names was nothing new to Seokjin, he was used to it by now. Taehyung had a thing for luring people in, and Seokjin was desperately holding on to the last thread of his dignity and pride. If Taehyung gave him a simple command he'd comply immediately, this is what Taehyung did. He persuaded. Fearful for how much longer he could endure, the elder looked down at his lap, fingers fidgeting as he sucked in a breath.
Every year, Taehyung and Seokjin make a deal. Taehyung will not hurt Seokjin's friends if the elder does something in return...
_______________________________________________
Desperate times call for desperate measures, so they say.
Seokjin knew this, thought it over and over again in his head, a blank expression on his face as he ascended the steps. The steps that would seal his fate. Or perhaps lead to his doom, Seokjin didn't know yet as he pressed his fingers against the cool marble of the door, far too pretty to be owned by the beast trapped inside.
Fist closed, he brought his knuckles upon the door and knocked, not even bothering to introduce himself because the other would surely know who it was. No one ever visited Taehyung, that much he knew.
The others were hidden away in the dining room, chatting idly over tea and waiting patiently for Seokjin's return.
The reason no one ever went near Kim Taehyung was because he was dangerous. Dangerous meaning persuasive, seductive and above all, the most desirable out of all of them.
There was no denying that Taehyung was beautifully sculpted - perfectly sloped nose, soft blond hair, big, expressive eyes and plump, pink lips anyone would kiss despite the poison lying behind them... nearly everyone in the mansion had kissed him at least twice, because who wouldn't? Seokjin would if Taehyung simply asked. But this was before, and they're at now.
Taehyung hadn't always been this dangerous, dripping with sex appeal and making people fall to their knees with a single glance and eyebrow raise, lips twitching into the signature smirk that even stubborn Seokjin had to admit made his insides melt. Taehyung used to be just like everyone else, but the loss of his beautiful wings cost him his kindness, along with his boundaries as he opened the door and grinned, stepping close enough to feel Seokjin's calm breaths against his face.
"Seokjin, my love. It's wonderful to see you." Taehyung drawled, and Seokjin realised quickly that he'd missed that voice, the way it rumbled and sounded near his ear. The elder raised an eyebrow, but decided not to reply and pursed his pink lips. Taehyung reached forward and brushed his knuckles shamelessly against the skin of Seokjin's cheek, and with a soft little sigh, almost pleased, he mumbled, "still soft and pure. We'll have to fix that, hm?" With a malicious sort of smile, he leaned forward and planted a delicate kiss on Seokjin's lips, frowning when he didn't reciprocate the gentle action.
He had to hold his ground today, face stoic as he glanced at the room behind Taehyung, and said man immediately got the message and moved out of the way, placing a warm hand on Seokjin's back to guide him inside.
