vampire's pet(Vkook)

3.8

The silence that floats in between the pair is tense. It curls around the lone clouds in the Prussian blue sky and around the dark black silhouettes of campus buildings that leer at the scene, watching with malign eyes. The moon is nowhere to be seen, engulfed by the darkness that lurks in between the stars hung in the sky. Its disappearance sets a menacing ambience that conjures shivers down Taehyung's spine.

Really, Taehyung didn't know what he expecting. A quiet night, free of thoughts regarding Jungkook? When he could just relax and let his mind mend itself in the comfort of the silent night? He wants to laugh at himself. Mock himself a bit for expecting something nice once in a while.

He stares down at his shoes, they're blocks of black in the night, fading away into the gritty asphalt pavement that is wearing away from the feet of university students. A rare sliver of light that has trickled through the darkness of the night and sticks to the edge of his doc martin shoes, highlighting the thick laces and the brown of the hard rubber sole.

"Taehyung?" The voice is hesitant, almost a question.

Instantly a shiver courses through his body, lacing his viens with icicles and fear. He recoils instinctively, shoulders drawing inwards. He wants to move, run, but his feet are rooted to the ground. They feel like sludge, melting into the ground.

"W—what do you want?" he raises his head, peers up with large teary eyes from under his black eyelashes at the figure in front of him. 

The darkness seems to coil around the newcomer—his posture is menacing—a black silhouette with blurry facial features in the night. His back is straight, his chin high. Yet Jungkook is hesitant. Worried. He remains a few steps away from Taehyung, eyes a sea of black, inky turmoil. The younger gulps before gesturing wildly with his hands, searching to say something but not knowing what to say.

He stutters out something incoherent and it takes Taehyung by surprise. Jungkook seems scared? Nervous?  The college student wants to sink to the ground and curl into a ball of nothing and scream.

He is so—

—confused?

"I—I like you. And, and I'm really, really—" Jungkook stutters out, he pauses and takes a lungful of air," sorry for what I did t–to you," he chokes out. His head is bent down and his eyes are fixated on the ground. In his pockets, his hands shake and his throat feels dry. He wants water. He needs water. He also needs Taehyung. Has felt the ever existant urge threatening to drive himself insane.

"What the flippers?" Taehyung shrieks, his eyebrows furrow down and he fights a sniffle. The air is cold, so cold and he wants to be back in his bed all of a sudden. He wants to be wrapped in warm sheets and around familiar objects. He wants hot chocolate coursing through his veins and melting on his tongue. The breeze is crisp and unforgiving, it strangles Taehyung. Wraps around his body like a viscous, greedy boa constrictor. The black buildings seem to loom at him, and the grass that peeks between the paving slabs on the pathway tries to bite at his ankles.

His frame shakes. "You're sorry?" Taehyung mocks, voice interlaced with deliriousness. He wants to scream. Maybe he will. It's dark. There's no one on campus beside him and Jungkook. Everyone is out, drinking in bars or high in parks.

"You're sorry?" he repeats again. And this time he's leering. Face contorted into a tragedy, eyebrows raised upwards and face recoiled away from Jungkook. "Well guess what? You never explained why you did what you did. All you said was that 'I'm sorry Taehyung, I'm sorry. We're soulmates lets be together. I raped you and kidnapped you but its all a mistake!" Taehyung snarls out.

His eyes are flaming and Jungkook can feel the heat from where he is. Jungkook bites his tongue and pokes his tongue at his inner cheek. His eyes are drawn to the latter's fists that are grey in the monotone night, they clench and fist at his jacket. They're slender things, long fingers complete with a broad palm, the tendons are sticking out slightly. They look soft, warm. Jungkook wishes he could feel them again his own.
