[nineteen] pensive in the moonlight

taehyung's focus

"we're not running away from the police are we?" taehyung raised an eyebrow at jungkook

"no" jungkook said plainly

they were lying on a picnic blanket, stargazing in the middle of nowhere. well, not exactly nowhere, they were deep in the forest 4 hours away from the cheap fast food place where taehyung was shot

it was nearly midnight and neither of the boys could catch a blink of sleep from the disturbance from the previous events

"then who are we running from then?" taehyung sat up slightly causing him to wince from his wound

"taehyung, it's too late in the night to be discussing this" jungkook rolled over

"kook, why are you dodging my fucking question? I've asked you about ten times since the shooting and now it's too late. why are you making excuses?!" taehyung snapped, clearly irritated

"fucks sake taehyung, isn't it obvious? people are after us, people are after me because I murdered that guy, and that guy is from a gang, and you know what happens to people who murder people from gangs or cults? their gang hunts them down, and kills them. now can you please stop asking me questions?" jungkook brought his hands to his face and rubbed his eyes and sighed

"right well I'm going back in the tent, it's getting cold" taehyung unzipped his sleeping bag without looking at the younger

"no. stay" taehyung met eyes with jungkook, "here, take my jacket" jungkook wrapped taehyung in his jacket, leaving space just underneath his chin

"I'm sorry, for being so distant" jungkook stroked taehyung's soft mocha brown hair, staring into his eyes, barely blinking. "it's just.. I hate talking to you about it, you're such a positive person, I-I don't want to bring you down with my problems, tae."

their bodies were tangled between each other's naked legs. both had unzipped their sleeping bags, sharing their body heat with one another

"it's okay, I get it, but tell me one day would you? and I'm sorry too, for asking too many questions," taehyung said softly, by this point they were breathing in the same warm air, their faces almost touching

jungkook cupped taehyung's face in his hands, staring at the beauty who lay before him. taehyung placed his hand on top of the younger's, embracing his delicate touch

"you really are breathtaking," jungkook whispered, rubbing circles on the elders cheekbone with the pad of his thumb, "you know that?"

jungkook had felt the warmth eject from the elders cheeks

"thank you" taehyung said politely, smiling lovingly at jungkook. "and guess what?" he giggled

"...what?"

"your nickname inside my head is, mr hot guy" taehyung snorted with laughter

taehyung was broken from his laughing fit by jungkook placing a soft kiss upon taehyung's forehead which felt like a delicate butterfly had landed on him. a deep crimson had spread over taehyung's face as younger pressed his soft lips onto his head

"let's sleep" jungkook said his facial expression was pensive in the moonlight, full of thoughts

"goodnight kook" taehyung rolled onto his side, facing away from jungkook, and pressed his back into the younger's chest, hiding his crimson flushed cheeks

"night, tae" jungkook felt taehyung close the space between their bodies, he brought a protective arm around taehyung and held him as both boys drifted into a peaceful sleep in the deep shadows of the forest, the moon watching down on them, nothing could find them, nothing could harm them.
