In Another Lifetime

I miss you already

I rolled my lips between my teeth, feeling that burn behind my eyes, telling me tears were coming again. If I was this emotional, just at the thought of being without him for what would amount to probably only a few hours, since it was so late and we both had to be to work extra early tomorrow, how would I handle it when my last day here rolled around? 

~♡~

"Oh. Okay." What else could I say? I'd asked him to stay, I wasn't going to beg, even if that's exactly what I wanted to do.

He chuckled, then pecked my lips with a kiss again.

"Don't look so sad. I'm only leaving because if I don't, I'm not going to get any sleep, and I need at least a few hours."

A smile crept onto my face when I realized what he meant. Suddenly, I wanted him to leave so he could get the sleep he needed. I remembered too often seeing how tired they seemed during a performance, and thinking they needed to rest more.

"Once this performance is over later, and we are set free for a week, I'm not spending a second away from your side, unless you get sick of me, and lock yourself in here to get away from me."

I snorted. "Like that would ever happen."

He hugged me to him, and I nuzzled my nose into his neck, noticing suddenly how good he smelled. I just wanted to hold onto him forever. But I let him go when he made a move to pull away.

He got out of the bed, and I thought I would be shy about looking at his body, but I quickly found out that I wasn't. He was gorgeous, his legs were long and muscular, he had an amazing ass, his shoulders were wide, and he had a cute tummy.

I watched him openly as he got dressed, a little more disappointed with each piece of clothing he put on. He turned, and caught me watching, raising a brow at me as he pulled his shirt over his head and bent for his hoodie.

I had the sheet pulled up, covering myself, but he walked over and held his hand out to me, waiting for me to get up. I let the sheet fall, swinging my legs to the edge of the bed as he took my hand, pulling me to a standing position, and immediately folding his arms around me.

"If it wasn't the day of a show, I wouldn't be leaving right now. You know that, right?"

I nodded, leaning my head against his shoulder, tightening my arms around his waist. I felt his warm hands on my bare back, and I shivered as he slid them down, stopping at the curve of my bottom, moving them back up again.

"You should get back under the covers and try to get some sleep. What time are you coming in to work? It's already almost 1am."

"I was thinking 6:30." I said, yawning when he mentioned the time.

"That's what I'm thinking. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with getting there at 7:45, we technically don't have to be there till 8. It's our choice to arrive early and go over the details one last time before we leave. If you don't want to come in that early, it's fine."

"No, I do. I'll be fine. I've managed on less sleep before."

He looked at me, nodding lightly. "Okay. Well then I'm going to head to the dorm, and I'll see  you...in a little while."

He pulled me closer, if that was possible, just holding me for a few minutes, before turning and putting me on the bed, motioning for me to pull my legs up. I did, and he pulled the covers up to my chin, kissing my forehead, then my lips, softly.

"Goodnight Delaney..."

"Goodnight, Taehyung."

With that, he turned and walked to the door, going out and quietly closing it behind him.
