It really annoyed Taehyung that he was unable to sleep in the middle of the night. He had to get up early in the morning for work, but he just couldn't relax enough to sleep. This had been happening a lot over the past month. He felt restless yet constantly tired. He wished he could sleep, but he would only end up lying awake for hours before sleep would finally take him.

Tonight, like many nights, Taehyung found himself curled up on the couch with the tv on, watching cartoons. He knew cartoons were for children, but they gave him some sort of comfort. As he watched the cartoons, he let his mind wander. He had wanted to ask Hoseok to stay with him tonight, but that couldn't happen since they both needed to work in the morning. Taehyung couldn't help but feel like he was losing Hoseok completely. Namjoon was taking Hoseok from him.

What could Taehyung do about it though? He didn't want to upset Hoseok by talking badly about the incubus. He knew Hoseok loved them both, so he was trying to keep it to himself, but there was no denying that Namjoon was cold to him, especially if Hoseok ever left the two of them alone for any reason. Just thinking about the situation he was in with this threeway bond, Taehyung sniffled. Moving a hand up to rub his eyes with the long sleeve of his pajama shirt, he let himself begin to cry. He was home alone, so no one would know that he felt this way.

As he cried, the cartoons filled the living room with bright colors and happy sounds. Taehyung wished he could curl up in Hoseok's arms, like he used to. He wanted Hoseok back. Whenever they were all three together, he could see why Hoseok loved Namjoon. He would see Namjoon treat Hoseok well, spoil him, keep him close at all times, but he was always cold to Taehyung in secret. Taehyung's eyes slowly closed as the act of crying lulled him to sleep.

There was no such thing as restful sleep though. Taehyung was awoken by a knock on his front door a mere twelve minutes after he'd dozed off. Sitting up, he rubbed his face with his hands, feeling totally confused when there was another knock. Grabbing the remote, he muted the tv then stood. Who could be knocking on his door this late? Glancing at the clock on the wall, Taehyung was boggled when he saw that it was two in the morning. Shuffling sleepily to the front door, he unlocked then opened it, frowning deeply at who he saw."Go away."

When Taehyung tried to close the door, Namjoon stuck his foot in to stop it."Let me in."

"No. Go back to Yoongi-hyung's house." Taehyung really didn't want Namjoon to be here. He didn't want to be alone with him."Why are you even here?"

To the human's displeasure, Namjoon forced his way inside. Then, he closed the front door himself."You speak as if I can't visit my mate."

Taehyung crossed his arms over his chest defiantly."We share a bond, but I'm not your mate."

Narrowing his eyes, Namjoon put himself directly in front of Taehyung."Whether you like it or not, you are my mate. We formed a bond together. As mates." He grabbed Taehyung's shoulders and pushed him against the wall beside the front door, earning a gasp."I'm here to strengthen our bond."

Taehyung was about to speak in protest, but his lips were swiftly captured by Namjoon's. He didn't understand what was going on. He disliked Namjoon, and he was certain that Namjoon disliked him even more. So why was the cold incubus kissing him? Putting his hands onto Namjoon's chest, Taehyung pushed but to no avail. So he turned his head to the side."Stop--" His jaw was tightly gripped, his head forced to turn back and his lips recaptured.

Namjoon didn't understand. He was here for his mate, but his mate was resisting. He knew he had been constantly cold, but they were still mates. In the incubi world, the bond between mates was so strong that such cold behavior didn't stop them from connecting with each other. This showed him that Taehyung didn't feel the bond, as he had suspected. It mustn't have been a thing humans could feel. Disconnecting their lips, Namjoon peered into the human's moist eyes."If our bond breaks, Hoseok will be only mine. The bond to you is very weak."

"You'll get what you want." Taehyung felt more tears coming. His throat ached with the urge to sob."Hoseokie-hyung will be yours, and I'll be alone."

"You stupid human." Namjoon huffed and released his grip on Taehyung's jaw."I already said that I'm here to strengthen our bond."

Shaking his head, Taehyung trembled as his vision blurred."I won't have sex with you." He refused."When we made the bond, you were too rough...You hurt me..."

Namjoon lifted an arm to place his forearm against the wall near Taehyung's head."You know why I hurt you?"

"Because you hate me..." Taehyung's voice quivered when he said that. He couldn't even look at Namjoon's face right now. He felt small and pathetic under the incubus' gaze.

"No, because I was jealous of you." Namjoon saw the wrongs in his actions. He knew he had been mean."You had possession of the only person I know how to love." Hearing a shaky sob slip out from Taehyung, he used his free hand to pull the human to his chest."I've had many mates, but I never loved any of them. I don't know how. I've only ever loved Hoseok. I've loved him since before I became a collector." he explained."As I helped the emperor invade and conquer many worlds, I forgot how to love. But I never let go of my love for Hoseok. Because of that, loving him is easy, but loving you...I don't know how."

That didn't make much sense to Taehyung, but that could be partly due to how tired he was."What are you even saying~?" he whined as he cried.

Rolling his eyes, Namjoon scooped Taehyung up into his arms, relieved to be met with no resistance."You're clearly too tired for this." Carrying Taehyung into his bedroom, he laid the human down onto the bed."Go to sleep."

When Namjoon walked out of the bedroom and closed the door, Taehyung was confused and filled with a mixture of emotions. He didn't know what to think. Being left alone in his bed, he cried himself to sleep for the second time that night.
