Endearing ️️️✅

Your scent

"Noona, can I scent you properly?"

"Wha-" You're left short of words until you process the whole sentence. "Wait, properly?"

Taehyung's shoulders slouch down and he sits back a little away from you, eyes looking everywhere but you. He had blurted something he wasn't supposed to.

"You've been scenting me already?" You press and see his lips forming a straight line as he nods slowly.

"But it's not like how you think it is. We practically live in the same house. We even sleep on the same bed sheet. Every object that comes in contact with us hybrids, we leave our scent unintentionally on it and if you use that same object before the scent evaporates, it rubs off on you."

You weren't a science major. You never even liked science but this fact was actually surprisingly amazing and you absorb the information with a- wide-eyed and mouth hung open- expression.

"So you didn't do it on purpose?"

"Absolutely." He answers before a heart beat and you believe that.

"And you want to do it now because?"

He sighs, looking down and playing with his fingers, "I trust you better now and I think we've reached the stage of scenting."

Truth be told, you were a little excited about the whole thing as well and you were expecting something like this ever since you adopted Taehyung. But he's always been such a reserved hybrid that you weren't really expecting him to do this now.

You think for a minute before replying. "Fair enough, how are you going to do it?"

"You need to come closer."

"Excuse me?"

"Nevermind. I'll do that."

Before giving you the time to process everything, Taehyung is suddenly so close to you that your knees are touching. Your might skipped a beat.

"Are you ticklish noona?"

"Huh-" You couldn't even finish before Taehyung's hands are on your jaw, tilting your whole face backward slowly.

Why is everything going so fast?

"I think this is a better angle." He says to himself while your eyes are fixed to the ceiling and you can't see the hybrid's face anymore. He continues, "Try not to move too much okay?"

Suddenly something nudges your neck and you retract back in lightning speed holding that spot. You definitely are ticklish.

But literally, why is everything going so fast and moreover, since when Taehyung is so confident and straightforward?

"What was that?" You ask perplexed and he sighs heavily at you.

"I just told you to not move." With that he takes your hands away from your neck and pulls you closer, not forgetting to set your neck in previous angle.

And just like last attempt, you jerk back as soon as his nose makes contact with you neck.

"Will you relax? It's just me." You can clearing see the frustration on his face until he fixes his expression and says the next words more gently. "Look, if you're not comfortable then we can do it another time."

"No let's just do it." Now or never. That was your thought. It's not your fault that you're too ticklish but you can't let it get in the way like this. Scenting is an important part of a hybrid's life and you're not taking that away from Taehyung.

"Are you sure?" He asks once more and you nod in yes. This time you fill the gap between your bodies and crane your neck upwards.

It takes a moment for Taehyung to act but soon you feel his nose touching your neck gently, doing nothing but lightly running over the surface.

You try your hardest to control your tick of moving away and even bite your tongue to not giggle and squirm away. But after roughly ten seconds, it doesn't seem so bad and you're able to control your urge better.

"You smell even nice up closer." Taehyung's breath hit your surface and you shiver unintentionally. You're still ticklish and you just squirm and break into a fit of giggles, moving away from him. Taehyung smiles at you.

"Really? What it's like?" You ask curiously.

He sits back before answering. "Well most of the time like right now, it's rose and honey like. Sometimes it's peachy and sometimes it's like the smell of your strawberry flavored shampoo when you wash your hair."

"Wow, never knew I smelled so feminine." You laugh and suddenly notice, "Is it done?" The hybrid nods his head and you mutter, "That was fast."

His hybrid ears somehow catches on. "It's enough for first time in my opinion."

"Do I smell any different?"

"Yes." He says and you don't miss the amused smile on his face when he says, "Like me."

____________________________________

You are dropping Taehyung at the cafe in morning who gets to work as soon as he reaches inside. He's such a hard worker and gives his best in everything he does.

Hoseok is working at the counter and hugs you immediately with a bright smile. Literally not even a day goes by without his precious warm hug.

You go inside the kitchen, seeing Yoongi waiting for whatever was inside the oven to bake when he notices you.

"Hey Yoongi, watcha baking?" You ask knowing too well how not using honorifics annoys the cat but you're just left with a mute cat.

Yoongi smells Taehyung's scent on you immediately and he's left dumbfounded for a moment before he regains his composure. "Ah just some cupcakes. You want some?"

You shrug his behavior aside and try to focus on what he said instead. "Sure." You usually put treats inside your office drawer to eat in breaks and the drawer was almost empty now. So it needed a fill up.

Just as you leave for work Hoseok meets Yoongi in the kitchen with an obvious knowing expression. "Did you notice?" He says.

And Yoongi smiles at that, "Of course. It was so obvious."

"I can't wait for the day when they're actually together!" Hoseok chimes, clapping his hands together in excitement and Yoongi just smiles widely at his red haired friend.

I don't even understand the point of having an update schedule when I can't keep up with it. *sighs*

But I'll do better in future. *pinky promise*

Have a good day/night y'all <3
