Kill The Morado (TaeKook)

19

Taehyung and Jeongguk decide to get out of bed and clean up before Jin and Jimin returned.

They wash up together, not wanting to be apart even for that short period of time.

Jeongguk felt better than he has in days, his wolf no longer crying out to him, reassured that his mate was claimed.

After washing up Taehyung stands in front of the mirror, he felt different so he wanted to see if he looked different.

And despite being almost giddy with happiness he looked the same, it's what's on the inside that changed.

The mark on his collarbone scabs over oddly instead of healing completely, he's not complaining about it leaving a scar, that way he'd never forget this night.

"Does it hurt?" Jeongguk asks from where he leans against the doorframe of the washroom watching Taehyung.

The younger looks over at him. "Hm? Oh, no. It doesn't."

Jeongguk smiles softly as he walks over to him and hugs him from behind, nothing but the towels around their waist between them.

Taehyung leans into the embrace, looking at Jeongguk's reflection through the mirror.

"Tae." The true blood says as he notices something different about the younger. "Your eyes."

"Oh, yeah. I noticed." He says, his eyes weren't their usual dull red, they were almost a metallic red color, much more striking.

"What's it mean?" Jeongguk asks, worried that something was wrong.

"I don't know. I don't feel any different, not in a bad way at least." Taehyung says turning to Jeongguk and wrapping his arms around the older's neck. "I feel amazing. I'm so happy, Jeongguk."

"I'm happy too." The older boy responds, closing the space between them in a sweet kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too." Taehyung says, this time 100% sure that it was true, he was in love.

Jeongguk kisses him again, the small tingling sensation he felt before was now like a shock for both of them every time they touched each other.

The feeling of the mate bond being secured is the most comforting thing he's ever experienced and he loves it.

Taehyung kisses him back, deepening the kiss passionately.

Jeongguk lifts the younger up onto the counter of the sink, causing Taehyung to wrap his legs around his waist.

He breaks the kiss before they are both too far gone. "I found some clothes in the closet. We should get dressed."

Taehyung pouts softly but nods. "Carry me."

Jeongguk chuckles before lifting the boy with ease, carrying him into the bedroom and sitting him on the bed, he changed the sheets while Taehyung was still in the bathroom.

"Here, you might be able to fit this." He says handing him a shirt he found in the closet.

"You wear it. I'll wear this." Taehyung says holding up Jeongguk's shirt from yesterday.

"That's dirty." The true blood says. "Just wear this."

"No. It smells like you." The younger argues holding the black T-shirt to his chest.

"Alright." Jeongguk smiles, giving in to Taehyung's nonsense.

Taehyung wears Jeongguk's shirt and a pair of pajama pants he found in the wardrobe.

Jeongguk wears a pair of pajama pants and a white T-shirt that was probably meant to be worn under clothes.

"It's late. Why haven't they returned?" Taehyung asks as they lay cuddled up in bed.

"I'm not sure." Jeongguk says, he kind of had a feeling that the other two were giving them space purposefully. "I'm sure they're fine though."

Taehyung sighs. "I'm worried."

"It's okay. Just go to sleep. They'll be back soon." Jeongguk says, already falling asleep himself.

Taehyung sighs again, even though he was worried he was extremely tired so he tried to get some sleep.

The others would return soon.

Jin and Jimin make the trip back into town the next morning.

"Do you think Taehyung is alright?" Jimin asks as they walk.

"I'm sure he's fine." Jin says. "Jeongguk wouldn't hurt him."

"I don't get why you are so trusting in him." Jimin says, he didn't understand why they were supposed to ignore the fact that Jeongguk was the leader of the pack that attacked them.

"Taehyung loves him." The older says. "Nothing we do will change that so we have to accept it."

"I know." Jimin admits, yesterday convinced him that Taehyung had actually fallen for a werewolf.

"Be understanding." Jin tells him. "You'll grow to accept it."

When they get to the cabin they find Taehyung and Jeongguk still asleep in bed.

Jin sighs in relief, he had been more worried than he let on to be.

He can no longer sense Jeongguk's distress so he figures it is no longer there.

He shuts the door quietly behind him and returns to the den of the cabin.

"I'm going to go get breakfast for Jeongguk." He tells Jimin. "You stay here in case they wake up."

Jimin hums as he sits on the ground looking at the books on the book shelf. "Yeah, alright. Do you mind if I take some of these to Yoongi?"

"No, go ahead." The older says before exiting the cabin.

Jimin is too preoccupied to hear the bedroom door open down the hall.

Taehyung appears in the living room, his hair disheveled. "Hyung? Where were you guys?"

The older boy looks up at him in surprise. "Taehyung, I didn't hear you come out."

"You were gone all night." The younger says. "You said you'd return in a few hours."

"I know, kitten, it's just..." Jimin trails off as he catches sight of the scar forming on Taehyung's collarbone, the mark looks awfully painful. And his eyes look different somehow. "We lost track of time and before we knew it it was too late to exit the kingdom."

"Yoongi doesn't know you left me here alone does he?" Taehyung asks worriedly.

"No, he doesn't." Jimin says, he purposely avoided Yoongi all of yesterday. "Did you have a good time though? Seeing town I mean."

Taehyung smiles brightly, going and sitting next to Jimin on the ground. "I did. I had a great time."

"Can I ask you something, kitten?" The older asks turning to him slightly.

"Sure. What is it?" The younger asks, still smiling a little.

"Jeongguk...do you love him?" He asks. "Like, really really love him?"

Taehyung's smile turns into a fond one, his eyes sparkling as he nods. "I think I'm in love, Jimin."

Jimin nods, smoothing down Taehyung's crazy hair. "I'm glad."

Taehyung smiles big again and hugs Jimin. "Thank you."

Jimin chuckles and hugs him back. "You go get Jeongguk up, okay? I think we're leaving once Jin-hyung gets back."

"Okay." The younger says pulling away from the hug and standing.

Jimin sighs as he watches Taehyung skip to the back room to get Jeongguk.

Taehyung had finally found someone to love him, and he deserves that.

And so much more.
