Глава тринадцатая

"So, Suga," Hoseok said in a sing-songy tone, tugging the poor boy through the leaves and branches together with Jungkook, "What did you do together? Apart from eating each other's faces," Suga flushed and looked away.
"We didn't, we only talked and he showed me around his place.." The two fairies exploded in laughter.
"What's the use of denying it when we literally SAW you two?" The red haired fairy wiped a tear. Yoongi remained silent.
"Anyway," chimed Jungkook, "Tell us how you too met,"

The shorter boy glared at the two from under his ocean bangs and muttered, "That's none of your business."
"Aw come on," they cooed at him, "where's the harm in that?"
"We figured that we would be seeing you more often, given today's circumstances," Hoseok began, nudging Jungkook lightly while Yoongi huffed.
"And we would LOVE to become closer with Jimin's new boyfriend," concluded the dark-haired with a small but evil smile.
"I am not his b-" Yoongi's dispute was cut short by a hand on his mouth. Hoseok dramatically sighed,
"They all say that."

Normal communication would be impossible with these two Yoongi realised. However, he later found himself warming up to the two idiots once he had spent more time with them. They actually showed him around the village and more of those weird gadget things that used. Zerkulus he already knew, even though he was still confused by it (Jungkook told him that only commanders were allowed to have one.)
One of the more memorable things were sparkly seeds that would grow in height 10 centimeters per second once planted, and would stop once you stomp on it. Apparently it was for reaching high places and tree branches. It wasn't very useful to fairies because they had wings, but Hoseok reminded him that apart from fairies there were close to 210 species of creatures inhabiting the forest.

Some more peculiar gadgets and intriguing seeds-slash-plants and Yoongi couldn't keep up. His head was spinning, he was exhausted and wanted to crawl back to Jimin's comfortable bed and cuddle. The two fairies must've noticed his state and took pity on him, because the blue-haired was seeing familiar trees and finally saw none other than Jimin's house.
"We came back? I thought you guys wanted to show me around more.." he asked, dumbfounded.
"That was the plan originally, but were not horrible," Hoseok gave him a warm, calming smile, "Rest up, you need it,"
Yoongi looked at them both gratefully before turning to the house and climbing up the narrow mushroom staircase.

Without looking down, he knocked at the circular oak door. It opened momentarily, displaying a red-faced Jimin.
"I swear if you- oh, Yoongi! You're back! What happened?" He worriedly grabbed the latter's face and observed for any cuts or bruises, as if the two beat him up.
"It's okay, Jimin," he chuckled at the fairy's behavior, "They showed me around the village and explained your rules and gadgets and stuff."
Jimin looked up at him suspiciously, "You sure they didn't do anything bad? I just know them too well and-"
"Chill babe, you're worse than Grandma with the nagging," at which Jimin instantly shut his mouth, half from being slightly offended and the other half from the nickname.

"They told me so much, my brain melted. The Pryrokite was pretty cool though."
"You mean the Pryoroctite? The machine that filters lost souls from the wandering thoughts?" The older blinked twice and shuddered.
"So that what it was.." he mumbled, "no, I guess the Zoo pills?" Jimin tilted his head, thinking.
"Oh! You mean the Zee pills! The ones that mimic animal cries once you eat one?"

Sigh.

"Yea, whatever. Your world makes no sense, I'm already used to that." Yoongi scoffed and slumped on the doorstep, too tired to move any further. Jimin smiled at the childish behavior.
"I guess you should return to your original size now. I think you've had more than enough new impressions today, I bet it's overwhelming." The blonde crouched next to Yoongi and stroked his head fondly. A comfortable silence overcame the two as they listened to the soft rustling of the wind and grass. That is, until Jimin jumped up and disappeared in his office. He came back not too much later, carrying a different colour flask from the first one.
"Here, let's go back and return you to your original size." He softly called him.

Back at the intersection where they first met, Yoongi drank the strange liquid that soon expanded him to his original size. He almost thought of it as a dream if not for the fairy twinkling right in front of his nose. His stomach churned with a warm feeling. The blue-haired promised Jimin to be back tomorrow and headed home with a slight grin.

Things changed so much over the past few days, and he hasn't got anyone to share the bewildering thoughts and experiences with. They would just think that he's been out on the sun for too long. In just a few days, he's discovered a whole new realm of creatures he didn't know existed, and might have won himself a fairy lover, if things went well.
What a funny thing to say, a fairy lover...
