"Why do we use arrows and swords if guns exist."
"Seokjin, why do you fight with Yoongi on the link if phones exist?" Namjoon sighed, chin jut out in mild irritation at the stupidity being discussed over dinner, while Jimin giggled with gleaming eyes beside him.
"Because he doesn't reply on text, ugh."
"I'm done with this conversation. Come to the room when you're done, Jimin." the monotony in his alpha's voice surprised the younger, as usually even though Namjoon was harsh and moody with the others around him, he was very kind and sweet to Jimin.
What surprised him more is the full and undisturbed bowl of noodles left by the irritated alpha, while most people on the table where more than halfway through with their meals.
"What's up his knickers today? He usually isn't that angry." Taehyung murmured from besides jimin, watching with his bangs in his face as the younger omega pouted to himself.
"He's always like this, not the first time." Yoongi gave his input from his spot, tossing a casual arm around his un-bothered mate to place a small and discreet kiss on his temple.
"Yeah, remember when we first got him to come to a party with us? Heck, he left three seconds into it without even saying bye, but he's nice." Hoseok smiled, leaning back in his seat and rubbing his tummy as Chanyeol next to him nodded along.
Everyone hummed in agreement as Jimin quietly finished his food, minding not to be ungrateful for Seokjin's efforts into it.
"I'll go check." the omega spoke softly, standing up to grab a small trey to place Namjoon's noodle bowl, chopsticks and a glass of water on it and carry it to their room, not before bowing towards the others with a thank you.
"Joonie..." He sang softly as he entered, aware by now that the alpha disliked loud noises, unless it was his favorite music, in their room.
Surprised yet again, the young brunette expected his mate to be sitting in the window and gazing out deep in thought like he usually did while Jimin showers inside, instead of paying guard at the door, however this time he found Namjoon laying stump on the soft bed at the center of their room, covered loosely by the cream coloured comforter while his back remained to jimin.
"What's wrong, Hyung?" the boy attempted to coax, setting the food down on their side table, only to walk over towards the side his alpha was facing, frowning deeply when he found Namjoon's nose glowing a pink tint and eyes looking puffy.
Namjoon was crying.
He'd never seen Namjoon cry, even on the day when Jimin told him about his past. The alpha had kept his chest steady for him, and even though he felt slight wetness on his scalp, eventually after long minutes of weeping when Jimin looked up, he was met with a gentle and caring expression.
But now he laid there with an utterly heart breaking expression, eyes but meeting his mate's.
"What happened," Jimin whispered softly, small hand going to caress over the damp cheeks of his alpha, who only held him softly by the neck and pressed their lips in a short lived peck.
"I'm not feeling too well, Diminie." It was a new nickname, and the younger loved it, but he couldn't comment about it right then.
"Are you sick? Should I tell Jungkook Hyung?"
"No..."Namjoon sighed, leaning into his omega's hand as the youngest wiped the stray tears off his cheek, "Just talk to me. My head hurts, I don't understand this feeling. I feel irritated for some reason."
"Maybe because the full moon is near?" The boy smiled slowly, hands cupped around the alpha's perfectly sculpted cheeks.
"Don't know." Dryly, the ravenette only pulled his mate closer into an embrace, lips finding themselves on a smooth forehead for a fleating moment.
"Jimin... How was your day?"
The question elicited a bright giggle from the bubbly omega's lips, making Namjoon's lips twitch up into a smile too.
"So good!" the one with blue and brown eyes grinned, snuggling closer,"Coloured with Hobi Hyung and then Taetae got me chips. They were so good."
"Oh yeah? I'll get you more then."
"Okay!"
"Baby, wanna go out to walk around the pack with me? I still have a round left." Nam-joon suggested calmly adter a few moments of silence, watching the boy wearing a soft cashmire sweater and blue jeans smile even wider.
"Me? Yes! U-Um... I mean," the younger cleared his throat and tried to make his voice deeper," Yes."
Chuckling at his silly mate, Namjoon pecked his cheek and got up, striding to the closet to pull out one of the thick jackets he had bought for jimin.
"C'mere, wear this first silly omega," He muttered in endearment, fond eyes following the boy until he was spinning in front of him to allow his alpha to help him into the piece of clothing.
Careful to not hurt jimin in any kind of way, the man gently slid on his jacket and turned the shorter around to zip it up to his chin.
"All set, wear your shoes Jiminie. I'll wear my jacket too."
The boy hummed, pulling on his sneakers and the alpha above him slipped on a simple jean jacket.
Alpha's weren't as sensitive to the weather as their counterparts, therefore layers upon layers of clothing weren't necessary to invest in.
The pair soon set off out of the house, hand in hand as they approached the boarder of the pack to make a round.
"So," Namjoon broke the wispy silence, tucking jimin's hand and his own into one of his jean jacket's pockets.
"So?"
"Can I take you on a date tomorrow?"
Bright pink blossomed on the younger's cheeks.
"Yeah."
