Destiny | Taekook [ON HOLD]

-Chapter 13 : Nor incompetent neither a damsel in distress

Author's P.O.V:

It was already midnight and Jungkook was sleeping soundly after such a tiring day.....though it didn't last for long as he soon woke up, not because he wanted to but because he couldn't sleep.

All because of the sounds of someone's loud unsteady breathing, as he blinked he eyes to find the source of the said noise...

Jungkook frowned when he found out that it was Taehyung but mostly he was worried for him, as much he likes his sleep, he can't leave it like that when Taehyung was probably not okay, he had to check up on him so he went a little bit more closer towards the bed and if he was worried earlier then that would be an understatement right now, as he was scared, terrified....

Taehyung's breathing was ragged and there were tears falling from his eyes, his whole face was scrunched in desperation and fear, even his fists were clenched tightly, it didn't take too long for Jungkook to know what is happening....Taehyung is having a nightmare...and a really bad one at that too...

So Jungkook did what he thought would be the best for him at the moment... He sat down near the bed on the floor, it's ironical isn't it that how Jungkook didn't lay down with Taehyung on the bed to not make him uncomfortable yet he wanted to comfort him by somehow laying close to him...

Without wasting anymore time, Jungkook extended his hands and wiped those tears and started gently moving his fingers in Taehyung's hair to soothe him, which did work, Taehyung visibly relaxed and soon after his breathing became normal too...it seemed like Taehyung was at ease but it broke Jungkook's heart, when he saw Taehyung so relaxed just after a mere touch, it pulled the strings of his heart, because it made him realize, just how much Taehyung needs someone in his life..... How much lonely he is in reality....it would not be a lie to say that Jungkook eyes again became glossy, tears again filled his eyes at the thought of Taehyung suffering alone at nights when these nightmares surrounded him in the security of his own room, yet he was not safe... He had no one near him to comfort him in those sleepless nights.... 

Jungkook didn't care why these feelings were rising in his heart, he just knew that he doesn't like seeing Taehyung like this, he wants to be there for him always...

The moonlight was entertaining the room with its sparkling glory, it was amusing though how Jungkook found the stray tears on Taehyung's face more enchanting than the moon itself... Soon sleep lulled him into its slumber and Jungkook slept with his head on the edge of bed near Taehyung while his hands were wrapped around Taehyung, fingers still woven into his hair....

*****

The chirping of birds announced that it was morning already and for once Taehyung didn't want to wake up, he didn't want to leave the comforts of his bed because first time in a long while he had such a good sleep...it felt like he was home, his home...

But still it was time to wake up so he unwillingly opened his eyes to come face to face with a person whom he hates, the one he decided to stay away from was so near him... He also noticed the boy shivering a little and that was enough to melt his heart... He may not show it but he isn't as heartless as he tries to portray himself... 

So he stood up on his feet, put one arm under the knees of the boy and the other around his shoulders and held him in his arms bridal style and laid him in his bed, but he felt the sparks when he held him and for a moment he didn't want to let go of him, but he did anyway because according to him, he wasn't supposed to feel things like this....

Repaying what had happened last night made him remember his nightmare too, the one that has made him impossible to sleep at nights, the one he hates and fears, but this time it was different....
