taehyung - request

thank you ethrecl for requesting, i hope you enjoy!

You lift your head to see out the window; what you see, taking your breath away. The ground below you is alive with lights, like someone had taken a handful of glitter and thrown it as far as the eye could see. It is too dark to make out individual buildings, but the lights are enough for you. You sigh, amazed at the view laid out before you.

Taehyung chuckles fondly, his hand automatically reaching out to rest on your thigh, squeezing as he keeps his eyes trained on the road. You find yourself focusing on his warmth and how it projects waves of happiness into you, your smile reflecting back to you through the window.

"You seem excited," he notes, amusement beautifully lacing his tone. You nod, placing your hand on top of his with a sigh. He chuckles once more, shaking his head slightly as he grins.

"Well, that's good then. I've got something quite pleasant planned," he continues, glancing over at you to catch the widening of your eyes and the slight squeak escaping your lips.

How adorable.

He parks the car to the side of the road, rushing to open your door for you as confusion masks your slight disappointment. There's a slight chill as you step out, a sudden shiver running down your spine. Taehyung locks the car and claims your hand in his, shoving your intertwined hands into his pocket to keep them warm. You smile at the gesture, leaning a little more into his body heat.

"What are we doing here, Tae?" You question, pouting up at him. He tweaks your nose with his free hand and begins walking, gently tugging at you to follow.

"Just a few blocks down is a street that holds a little festival for the city every few months. They light up the buildings and have stalls, food, music. I thought it'd be nice to take you out for a walk," he explains, smiling shyly after he's done, gaze flitting to the floor.

Your heart skips a beat, cheeks heating up at the simplicity and thoughtfulness of the date. Biting your lip, you push yourself up on your tippy toes, planting a kiss to his cold cheek.

"It sounds great, Tae. Let's go."

It takes a few minutes but the two of you finally arrive, eyes sparkling and smiles wide. There's a newfound energy in you and the wonder shining through your eyes makes it seem like you're a child again, eager to try everything.

"Happy, princess?" He mumbles, lips pressed against your neck as he nuzzles his face into your shoulder.

"Yeah," you breathe out, "Thank you."

He hums in approval and returns to his full height, beginning the slow walk to the end of the street.

"Do you want anything?" He asks, looking over at you with a content smile. You return it but shake your head, quickly adding in that he's free to get something if he wishes. The older nods, pulling you a little closer to him. You bite your lip to suppress a laugh, going back to admiring the shining decorations.

It's quiet but there's nothing uncomfortable about it. In fact, the silence makes you feel more certain about what you have with Taehyung. You can already decipher what he's thinking just by the way he holds your hand and glances over at you every few seconds to see if you're enjoying yourself.

And if you're being honest, you're thinking the same thing too.

He suddenly stops, gasping as he fumbles around in his pocket, in search of his phone. "Go, go," he urges, pointing out to the gorgeously lit up clearing in front of you, "I want to take a photo."

Nodding, you jog out to the clearing and smile, holding up a few peace signs and finger hearts. He tells you to wait as you go to move, swiping through the photos before asking if he can take one more. When you nod, he smiles cheekily and raises his phone up.

"I love you!" He calls out, snapping the photo the minute he gets a reaction out of you. He quickly opens it, heart quickening at the shot. You're in the middle of a laugh, your smile glowing brighter than the lights surrounding you.

It's beautiful.

You join him, smiling as he brings you in for a hug. "I love you too," you whisper, pecking his lips with a small smile.

He laughs loudly, picking you up in his arms as he spins. Your gleeful giggles echo throughout the clearing, the silence resting peacefully between the two of you gone but neither of you miss it.

Sometimes a night in the city is meant to be a little boisterous.
