ROCCI (On Hold)

T W E N T Y - Explanation

Yoongi was currently sitting on Tae's bed... his mom was home with her girl friends - so the merman had instead successful managed to get himself into a pack house, full of werewolves... who's bite could kill him. Great!

"Uh yo-you know Tae? Thi-this isn't the best place for uh me... for me to be... " the small male started, but glanced down to his pale legs, which were bare at the moment - something which Taehyung was awfully aware of as well.

"Why not? We should hang out more, my place is big ~ isn't that good enough?" The taller said in a rather joyous tone, but nonetheless the smaller didn't agree.

"It's great and all, but you know that school trip? Remember when I was hurt?" The shorter male asked, a shiver nasty shudder slipping down his spine only by the mere thought and Tae nodded solemnly

He quite clearly remembered how Yoongi had looked next to dead before miraculously healing up again... almost like a werewolf would, now he knew why though.

"Yeah, I recall that"

"Well, I need to tell you something... but I need you to not be down by it" the merman breathed out,

"Mermen and mermaids... we... I mean-a bite from a specific species is lethal to us" he continued and Taehyung eyes grew large when he finally understood what the other was saying... his bite which was completely unnecessary, since Yoongi only tried to help him at that lake... and the other was saying that something he did was actually killing him when he laid there on that small bunkbed?

"I-yo... I need to... Yoongi I need to say something... I need to, ugh words... " the taller mumbled, not letting his thoughts catch up to his brain and jumbling everything up into a big pile of threads.

"Take it slowly - I'm sure you can do it" the smaller encouraged with a small smile on his lips, playing with the blanket underneath his legs in pure expectation.

"I'm... oh fuck it - you already said it, I'm a werewolf" Taehyung confessed quickly, almsot as if ripping of a band aid.

"Yes I know that" the shorter male simply commented and Tae looked at him with a firm nod. "Yes you do, wait you do?" he questioned completely bewildered and the other couldn't help but quietly giggle at the reaction he got.

"I just told you that I was weary in this house because werewolves bite's are lethal to my kind Taehyungie... " Yoongi repeated his previous words and Tae thought back to it, visibly reconnecting all the pieces in his head.

"Oh right, I guess I didn't think if that ~ don't worry - they can't touch you though, I'd literally rip their hands of if they did" the taller said way too casually, as if it was a normal thing and Yoongi gave him a stern look of disapproval - his lips forming a thin line, while his left eyebrow was highly quirked.

"Anyway... there's something else I also have to tell you-or feel like I should tell you" Taehyung redirected the conversation and the smaller patiently waited for the other to explain... what else was there to say?

"You've actually already met me in my wolf form" the werewolf mumbled, almost inaudible, but Yoongi did just barely catch up on it.

"No I haven't" he commented.

How on earth could he ever have done that? He couldn't have!

"Yes you have... that night at the lake - the wolf you took care of was me-I'm so sorry for snapping at you, I really wasn't trying to hurt you... I was just afraid" Taehyung rambled, distress evident in his voice as he spoke and his hands going all over the place in an almost panic state.

"Hey-hey... hey, cool down" Yoongi successfully calmed the other, his hands were on the other's shoulders, his eyes staring into a pair of glowing orbs while he breathed in heavily and then out very slowly - making the taller mimic his actions.

"Thank you... "

"You're welcome... can we talk about it or do you need more time?" the tiny male questioned with an empathetic expression while his hand rubbed up and down the other's back soothingly.

"I-I... we could, but I don't know how much I'll be able to say" Taehyung muttered under his breath, seemingly disappointed in his own stressed emotions.

"Okay that's still good... could you tell me what you were doing out at night?" the merman asked, showing signs of worry, but that only made the other feel worse about what he had done...

He had been stupid enough to have a small rut in the middle of the night - to clear himself of it, he decided to go for a run. In the forest however, there was a torn down treehouse which had left a lot of old materials laying on the ground... including rusty spikes.

But he could never tell Yoongi that? Could he? No absolutely not - at least not the rut part, because that was mostly because of the small male himself!

"I... I-ugh" Taehyung made a few sounds in discomfort as he tried gesturing with his hands instead, but nothing seemed to be working.

"I can tell you what I was doing? I was going to take a dip in the lake... I hadn't been able to during the day when everyone else was there" Yoongi explained, trying his best to ease up the conversation and get the other to trust him even better.

"Right... I, well I was out in the forest to find solace in my thoughts I guess - when I ran my paw over this old spike that had belonged to a small playground out there... when I saw you... I didn't really know what to think though" the tall male explained with a sigh.

"First I was just suspicious of why you'd he out in the middle of the night you know? But that thought was quite quickly thrown out the window when I felt the piece of metal push further into my flesh... and my mind just went completely ballistic, only wanting to get it out to all cost" the werewolf continued and Yoongi nodded understandingly.

"And I hold nothing against you for that, I survived didn't I? I felt like shit back then, but you saved me tonight"
