Scent

Taehyung sipped his tea.

There was a lot on his mind, causing him to be unable to sleep. His digital clock shone in bright blue, taunting numbers 11:57. With a sigh, he set his peppermint tea down.

Tomorrow was the eighteenth birthday of his best friend, Jungkook. He should be happy for his friend, but all he could think of was how he would react when he found out who his mate was. Taehyung knew they were mates, he had for two years, but had decided not to tell the younger until he found out for himself. It had pained him every day, but he handled it by cherishing their time cuddling on movie nights and doing other 'best friend things'.

Truthfully, he thought Jungkook was going to reject him. They had been friends their whole lives, closer than close, and certainly romantic feelings had developed there at some point, but Taehyung had assumed it was one-sided, that Jungkook had never seen the older as more than a friend.

With this thought in mind, Taehyung's fear of rejection grew. No matter how it went down, this would affect their friendship. Whether it was for better or for worse was up to fate and to Jungkook.

Suddenly, his alarm went off. He quickly tapped his phone screen to shut off the irritating beeping. Muttering curses he took another sip of his tea. Then, he pressed 'send' on the pre-written happy birthday text.

Meanwhile, at Jungkook's house...

Jungkook awoke to the sound of his notifications going haywire. His phone could barely give out an individual sound for all the texts he got at once. Looking at his phone he smiled at all the happy birthday messages from his friends and classmates.

Then he took a deep breath. He felt off, on edge. He knew he would find out who his mate was soon.

A particular message caught his attention. It was from his best friend, Taehyung.

Happy birthday, Kookie! I'm so glad to witness the start of another year of your life alongside you. I hope we will stay close in the future as we always have!

Jungkook chuckled. It was nearly identical to the message he received from the older every year; the only difference being that this time he said 'stay close' instead of 'continue to be best friends'. Jungkook shrugged it off, not sure why such a small detail would have caught his attention in the first place.

As he read the other messages, he suddenly started feeling hot. His skin turned a light shade of pink and his hands started to shake. His thoughts drifted back to Taehyung and stayed locked on the older, an image of his smile filling Jungkook's mind. He started panting and shaking more vigorously, a burning pain filling his chest. His mind was foggy and he could barely focus. Finally, he managed to press the 'call' button on Taehyung's contact.

After two rings, the older picked up.

"Hello?"

"T-Taehyung..." Jungkook panted, unable to speak a proper sentence as he couldn't seem to get enough oxygen.

"I'll be there in five minutes."

Taehyung hung up the phone, taking a nervous breath.

"Here we go."

He removed all his clothes and shifted into his wolf form. Picking up the clothes in his teeth, Taehyung's wolf leaped out the window. As soon as his paws touched the ground, he was running. His sensitive nose could smell Jungkook's pheromones from where he was. It made him light-headed, especially as he approached the scent. Jungkook was in his own house as opposed to the pack house that night, which wasn't far from where he lived, so it was a two minute run in his wolf form.
