Like Brother, Like Lover

Chapter Fifteen

The silence that ensued was deafening. The only thing Jimin heard was his own racing heartbeat and the shallow and irregular breathing of Min Yoongi.

Then, without any notice, Jimin's whole world changed. Before he managed to think about what he had just admitted, the elder had grabbed his small hand, which had been restless patting his thigh. When the younger looked up in surprise, Yoongi's eyes were lit up with an intense need. Quickly and almost violently, the elder pulled Jimin right up against his own body, so that both their legs were touching and their faces were only a an inch or two away.

"Say it again," Yoongi ordered, his voice a hoarse whisper that sent chills up the younger's spine.

Jimin gulped.

"Say, say, say what again?" The younger hadn't realized until that point how much he was shaking from the sudden burst of adrenaline. His voice was just as shaky, on the constant verge of breaking, something he had become very used to in the presence of Yoongi.

"Say that you're in love with me." At this point, the elder's right hand was tightly clasped around the back of Jimin's neck, and his left hand was still on top of the younger's. They were so close that with the smallest nudge their foreheads would touch. The younger was about to scream.

Jimin licked his lips and watched as Yoongi's eyes darted down for a split second before making their way back up to his face. The younger closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"I am in love with you."

When he opened his eyes up, he was more than shocked to see Yoongi with the same needy expression, but this time, tears in his eyes accompanied his look.

"Hyung-,"

Before Jimin could finish his sentence, Yoongi closed the distance between their two faces and slowly kissed the younger's bottom lip. He stayed there for a second, letting his mouth rest on Jimin's own. When he pulled back, the sight that was sat across the younger broke his heart. Tears were now freely falling down the elder's face, and the needy expression had disappeared, instead replaced by a face of relief. His look was also paired with the sound of his uneven inhales, which Jimin knew all too well when it came to crying. To comfort his hyung, Jimin slowly, as to not startle him, took his hand out from underneath the elder's, and brought it over to cup his face. This time, Jimin was the one to kiss Yoongi, but this time, he purposefully made it more needy and wanting, trying to make up for all the time that they had lost together.

Yoongi responded well, and kissed back, and as the kiss became deeper and deeper, Jimin knew that this was his paradise. He was lost in his own personal heaven when he felt a grumble from Yoongi's lips. Cautiously, he pulled back.

"Hyung, did you say something?"
Yoongi groaned in a way that caused Jimin into almost losing the little control he had. The elder came back in for multiple small kisses, pulling back ever so slightly every time. Jimin closed his eyes and lost himself again in the moment. That's when the elder began speaking.

"I," The elder kissed him. "Said," another kiss. "That," kiss. "I," kiss. "Love," kiss. "You," kiss. "More," kiss.

Jimin froze, and Yoongi pulled back a final time to look at the younger.

"What?" Jimin couldn't help looking surprised.

"Jiminie, did you really think that all this time this was one-sided? Do you know how many nights I've stayed awake just thinking about you? You make me fucking crazy."

"Hyung, I never realize-," And for the third time, Yoongi crashed his lips into Jimin's and the two continued their intimacy. The elder moaned again against the younger's lips, and pulled back, much to Jimin's dismay.

"I already told you," the needy look was back. "Don't. Call. Me. That."

Jimin snorted.

"Do you know what that word means? How weird it is to call me that now?"

"Yes, oppa, I do."

"Then tell me Jimine, what does hyung mean?"

"It means brother."

"Exactly, and I am not your brother. I'd like to think I'm much more than that now." Jimin laughed. You are more than that Min Yoongi. You are my lover. He blushed at his own thought. He mustered up his senses once again and continued, but didn't really know what to say.

"Fuck I love you so much," was the only thing that the younger could come up with, and it was totally true. And as their lips met again, Jimin knew that his life had just exponentially improved.

Min Yoongi was finally his.
