"Look at me," he began, his voice cracking in the process. "Look at me dammit!"
The tears had already spilled but fortunately, they weren't visible to him. Shaking uncontrollably, his arms were spread.
"Serre-moi dans tes bras très fort, à me fair...

The stars seemed brighter than usual that night, even brighter than the street lights outside. It was windy, not incredibly windy but strong enough to blow leaves that passed by the two boys.
Hand in hand, Namjoon and Yoongi confidently walked the streets of Paris as they enjoyed the scenery.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Yoongi asked, watching the night sky in awe. From his peripheral vision, he saw the younger nod with a smile forming on his face. "It's what I love about this place."
The two stopped at the Pont Des Arts , otherwise known as the place where people used to once profess their love with locks. They leaned against the bridge and watched the glistening water that had been sparkling thanks to those luminous stars.
Kim Namjoon turned to the elder, watching the way his blonde hair moved with the wind, exposing a bit of his forehead. He smiled, he was truly a beauty to the younger.
"I love being in Paris, I couldn't help but wonder how could this place be the city of love...maybe because I had never experienced anything romantic wise while being here."
"But now you have, " Namjoon signed, completely turning his body to the blonde. Yoongi's eyes widened, feeling his body stiffen at the younger's words, quite stunned.
"I have, haven't I?" Yoongi smirked, watching the younger who surprisingly didn't blush. He seemed nervous about something but he radiated confidence. He didn't know what was happening but he liked it.
"You have...and so have I. I think we should do something about that." Namjoon signed, now looking down. He was too anxious...he had never done anything like this before. His hands had already been shaking while he was signing and he could already tell that Yoongi picked up on that since his smile widened.
"Meeting you was honestly one of the things that truly lit up my life a little bit because before, I felt blind rather than mute. When we did see each other, things were kind of rocky. I kept something big and crucial from you and I shouldn't have. I'm sorry about that, Yoongi."
"That one thing you did though...apologizing to me with sign language, that was the most amazing thing anyone has done for me and the fact that you kept it up for me these past few months just to communicate with me. It just shows that you like me the same way I like you. We have our disagreements but each and everytime, I understand you more and continue to fall for you more as the days pass."
"Thats why...I must ask you to be my boyfriend and you shall say yes." Namjoon eyes trailed to the ground as he fidgeted with his fingers. He had just basically demanded the elder to be his boyfriend and he didn't know how to feel about it.
Yoongi didn't even hesitate. Not one bit, he felt like each and every time he was seeing something new about Namjoon and he wanted to see more and more.
The elder wrapped his arms around the taller one, letting his thumb softly rub up and down a part of his neck. His eyes once never leaving his, he replied with, "How could I not?"
Namjoon couldn't contain his smile as he tightly wrapped his arms around Yoongi's torso, eventually lifting him off the ground. Squeals escaped the blonde but we're quickly shut down with a pair of lips on his own.
The two of them were completely happy, they didn't think anything could go wrong.
"This place...why would you want to come here?" Seokjin asked, examining the rooftop that used to once be clear of graffiti or any trash on it. It seemed like the place became known and people come up there. He then glanced at Taehyung, watching the black haired boy watch the stars not missing those glistening, hopeful eyes of his.
"I want to reminisce,"Taehyung answered, not looking away from them.
"Isn't this place quite traumatizing to be on?"
Taehyung shook his head, now staring blankly at the ground. "Its actually the place where I finally felt safe." He decided not to mention the fact that it was the elder himself that made him feel that way.
"Taehyung ah...i have to ask...how could you forgive me so easily?" Seokjin asked nervously. The question was something that troubled him and it wasn't going away. He just couldn't comprehend how Taehyung was even able to look at him...despite everything that happened.
"I wanted you to forgive me, hyung. There was nothing you needed to be forgiven about, " Taehyung answered so simply. The elder couldn't shake the fact that the newly dyed haired boy was so different. He seemed more mature...more blank than ever.
He didn't like it all that much.
"I'm the reason...you almost died–"
Taehyung shook his head, putting a finger against his hyungs lips. "I thought we were putting all that behind us...we forgave each other, did we not?"
Seokjin nodded, quite stunned at the way the younger's finger touching his lips could make his whole body create sparks all over.
Taehyung stared at the elder, examining his emotions and he could tell that he was still feeling so much guilt. The elder was definitely troubled by something and it was going to take some time before he could truly be okay again.
He knew that despite himself going through so much pain, emotionally and physically at the hospital, he was always wondering if Seokjin was okay.
His thoughts were interrupted when he felt a soft hand on his cheek. Jin smiled at the younger, all teary eyed.
"You're too selfless...I don't like it."
"I'm sorry, " Was all Taehyung said before hearing the prettiest chuckle escape his hyungs mouth.
The elder pulled him into a hug, burying his face into the crook of his neck. "No you're not."
Seokjin closed his eyes as he let his hand slowly rub up and down the younger's back. He could feel him stiffen but seconds later, he relaxed completely into him. His hand finally stopped at his mid back. He let his index finger create hangul letters on his back, not realizing the younger was understanding everything he felt.
"너를안으면나를진정시켜." (T: Holding you makes me calm.)
"I'm glad it does, hyung." Taehyung responded before he decided to let his hand explore Seokjin's back as well.
"내가 너를 위해 거기있을 게." (T: Let me be there for you.)
Seokjin's smile faded when he felt it. The one thing that didn't change about Taehyung was that he could read his emotions so easily and he sometimes hated it.
Though he knew he needed help, he needed to heal and in order for that to happen...he had to let the younger see all of him.
"Okay, " he answered softly.
