Lovely

27

The younger could definitely get used to how the older had been acting towards him all this time but couldn't help and wonder if this'll all end if he wasn't sick anymore. This thought of his stuck with him on their ride home. Riding shotgun, the boy gulped as he nervously looked over at Taehyung sluggishly. He hadn't recovered yet and still had a fever but was able to go home.

Noticing the stare from Jeongguk the male focused on the road and "hmm?"ed at the younger. But getting no response he decided to ask, "what's wrong? Not feeling well?" This time he quickly glanced at the younger before roaming his vision back towards the road. Shaking his head to himself he mumbled, "no... I'm fine, I just feel a little uneasy hah..." The boy was a nervous laughter and Taehyung had known this from way too long ago so just nodded before sighing lightly, "i wanted to chat with you yesterday but you seemed drowsy so I ended up not doing it. So instead let's continue when we get home ok?"

The younger suddenly remembered of what happened last night and violently shook his head causing him to slump a little before blabbing out, "no! I-I wanna know now...please...!"

A little shocked at this, Taehyung glanced over to his gps and it showed that they were two minutes from home so instead of doing as the boy wanted, he reached one of his hands over to squeeze Jeongguk's. In a reassuring tone he spoke calmly, "don't worry, its nothing bad ok? I swear, we're almost home."

The males palms were cold as ice compared to the soft warm knuckles of the boys and soon the gps dinged before exclaiming, "you have arrived at your destination." Hurriedly Jeongguk woozily climbing out of the car and stumbled in front of their front door which unlocked for him after recognizing his face. In a rush Taehyung had the gates closed before running in the house as well, "g-guk why are you going so fast..."

Peeking inside the house, he couldn't see the younger at all but knew where he was. In long strides, he quickened his pace and climbed up the marble stairs to his room. His bedroom door had already been opened by the boy and once inside he could see Jeongguk seated on top of his bed waiting breathlessly for him. The scene was some what comedic to the man and without knowing he let out a small chuckle before walking towards his bed.

Now in front of the boy, he reached his arms out and curled them around Jeongguk's waist before plopping down. With the boy resting on top of him, the older cupped his palm against the youngers neck lightly and using his thumb caressed circles softly, "I'm sorry, it must've hurt a lot. The other stuff as well, I'm sorry. I just wanted to do anything, just anything in my power for you to hate me." Feeling a lump in his throat, Taehyung sighed sadly, "You can hit me if you'd like, you'd probably want to... actually no... you probably wont. You're Jeongguk after all..."

With himself laid on top of the male, Jeongguk nuzzled into the mans nape before mumbling, "it did hurt, everything hurts. I don't know how your words can impact me so much... maybe it's because everything you've said to me were negative but haha... those hurt the most..." Feeling the warm liquid flowing down his nape, Taehyung swallowed and lightly patted the boy on the head. Sighing again but this time the lump didn't seem to go away and the older felt the wave of emotions drowning him. 

Choking on his own tears, the male sniffed quietly and tried as calmly as possible to ask, "is there something you'd like me to do to make up for it? I know nothing will come close to what I've done... but if theres something that'll make you feel better, I will do it." In small shivers Jeongguk nuzzled deeper into the crevice of Taehyung neck before breathing in loudly, "like this, I'd just like us to stay like this for a little longer..."
