TINY LITTLE BOY

TWENTY

They finally reached a small parking lot when the sun had set, the horizon painted in dull pinks and a dark violet that faded into the rest of the celestial sphere's blue. Here Yoongi pulled in before what looked like an italian restaurant. Jungkook was staring so intently out the car-window to see where they hade made it to, that he didn't see how the elder shot a few glances at him as he parked, smiling affectionate. It was a tiny place considering the amount of cars outside, and situated in a quiet part of town. A car drove by on the road they came from every few seconds, and the streets were dimly lit by lampposts, but else it was oddly silent. Opening his own car-door Yoongi stepped out in the now darkness, just to find Jungkook also standing at his side of the car. Playfully, he murmured displeased under his breath and looked at the younger with a pout that he himself didn't even realise was evident. The younger couldn't help but break into an amused smile, lifting an eyebrow questioningly. 

"What?" he asked, as he strode around the cars trunk to stand beside the ravenette, and they begun travelling towards the small place. A few seconds of silence followed. 

 "Wanted to open your door for you" the elder just annoyed let out, and the younger looked at him with raised eyebrows, quiet for a few second before a surprised laugh escaped him. 

"Sorry" he said between his giggles in the laughs aftermath, trying to straighten out his face and sound serious. But then he looked at Yoongi who walked with an offended little pout shaping his soft features, and his improvement went right down the drain. When he managed to quiet down again, he spoke, "will be sure to let you help me out of the car next time" suppressed laughter hiding inside the words. Then even the elder couldn't keep a straight face anymore and they both ended up laughing. 

When they reached the red brick facade of the small building, the younger discreetly peeked through the windows just to see a few people sit at small oak tables, each with a single candle standing in the middle. The room was dimly lit and seemed cozy with white and red walls. He let Yoongi hold the door for him as they made it into the restaurant, which he did in such a dramatic and demonstrative way that the brunette couldn't help but snort amused, eyes crinkling. After acknowledging the newcomers, a young waiter made it towards them through the maze of tables in the small warm room. 

"Hi" she greeted calmly, her voice low and melodic, looking at them with pretty brown eyes and her black hair put up in a ponytail. "A table for two I assume? Do you have a reservation?" her gaze moving questioningly from face to face. At that the brunette looked helplessly down at Yoongi who quickly took charge.

"Yeah, in the name of Min Yoongi".

Checking in the book placed before her on the small table she quickly found his name and smiled warmly, not before eyeing Jungkook one more time though, which didn't go unnoticed by one of the young males. The younger had shyly averted his eyes during the wait, slightly flustered yet excited. Yoongi though, restricted a soft scowl from appearing on his face. 

"Come with me" she added over her shoulder, making it through the rows of tables before seating them in the corner of the room, by a table close to the wall. 

"You can hang your jackets over there", she pointed towards a little niche in one of the walls where a small passage apparently led to something like the kicthen, "and I'll be back with your menu's in just a second". Then she turned around and walked to the counter where the menu's presumably were laying. Sending the younger a soft reassuring smile, Yoongi took charge again. Thank god for that, Jungkook could barely pay attentention. He was here, with Yoongi, on an actual date. On a date with the guy whom he had been in love with for months. A guy that accepted his secret, a guy who single-handedly could turn him into pudding by just smiling at him. Staring at the elder in awe, the ravenette tore him out of the moment.
