We Belong Together

✨

We belong together
We belong together
And you know it
Wine stained teeth and bloodshot eyes
Think we're both fucked up and that's alright
Yeah, yeah
We belong together
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh

"Watching you leave was the hardest thing I've ever had to experience Jungkook." It was now Taehyung's turn to cry, the thoughts replaying in his mind as he continued.

"With death, its hard but you have to accept the fact that you'll never see that person again." He paused briefly, composing himself before he spoke again.

"With you, it was worse than death because you were right there the entire time, I just couldn't get to you." He searched for Jungkook's eyes, wanting him to see the raw truth in his own.

"Do you know how difficult that was for me? Watching you leave without a proper explanation and for seven months?" Taehyung wanted to shout and scream, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He wanted to hate Jungkook for just leaving, but how could he when he possibly drove him away?

"Now I know I fucked up okay. I know I shouldn't have seen Sora behind your back. That was wrong of me and I'll admit to my mistake. But what could I do Kook, you hate her but she needed me as her friend and I knew you'd immediately make me stop seeing her if you found out." Taehyung tore his gaze from Jungkook's, mainly out of shame of his actions. He planned to carry on, but the words were silenced before they could leave his mouth when Jungkook softly lifted his chin, gazes locked once again.

"I hate you for doing that." Taehyung's heart broke, but he wasn't surprised. He should've never lied in the first place, especially if it's got to do with his ex.

"But what I hate more than you lying... Is the fact that you felt like you couldn't tell me about it. Do you know how that made me feel? The person I love most in the world couldn't trust me enough to tell me he was seeing his ex. Yeah, it wasn't great, let me tell you that." If relationships are supposed to be built on trust and communication, who wouldn't feel that way? That's why the lie always hurts more than the actual act.

"Fuck I know I should've told you Kook. If I could turn back time I would, but I can't and now I have to live with that mistake." Taehyung took ahold of Jungkook's hands, intertwining their fingers.

"And I promise I'll apologise to you everyday for the rest of my life if I have to, but please let this not be the end of us. I barely lasted these past seven months without you... I don't think I'll be able to live without you for the rest of my life." Taehyung let go of Jungkook's left hand gripped his wrist before bringing it up to his chest and placing it right over his heart.

"Do you feel that? This heart, my heart... It only beats for you Jungkook. It's always been you." Jungkook's fingers tightened around Taehyung's shirt, as if he was trying to hold his heart. He subconsciously tried to match the rhythm of their hearts, getting complete satisfaction when their two hearts would beat as one.

Jungkook grabbed ahold of Taehyung's right hand, picking it up and placing it against his chest. He watched as Taehyung hesitated to touch him and looked at him, eyes seeking permission that Jungkook happily granted. He saw the way his lips curved up into a smile when he felt the irratic beating of his heart.

"You're the only one who can make my heart beat like this. The only one." Jungkook whispered that last part softly, but he knew Taehyung heard it.

"I know we have so much to work on and that there's gonna be so many more fights in the future, but I'll never live with myself if I don't ask you..." Jungkook couldn't help the way he stopped breathing. He wasn't sure what Taehyung was going to ask him, but the way he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a black box, freaked Jungkook out.

Taehyung could tell Jungkook was nervous, he's heartbeat picking up significantly when he took the small box out of his pocket. He then turned to face Jungkook, panic evident on his face.

Taehyung just smiled softly and popped open the box. He watched as Jungkook gasped at the ring, more tears spilling from his eyes as he grabbed his bottom lip between his teeth.

"Now I know what this looks like, but I promise it's not an engagement ring." Taehyung couldn't help but laugh as he watched all the pent up nerves exit Jungkook as he sighed and took a deep breath before smiling and looking back up at Taehyung.

"This is a promise ring. It's a promise to always love you, put you first, trust you, make you smile and even when I piss you off it's a promise to stay by you and make you happy again, to communicate, to be yours forever. But it's also a promise to, one day, put an engagement ring on your finger and then finally a wedding band. I love you unconditionally Jungkook, so please I'm begging you. With my hand on your heart and yours on mine, accept this ring and take me back baby. Please."

Jungkook was a sobbing mess as he listened to Taehyung talk. He knew they had things to work on, but what better way than to work on them together. Because that's what he wanted, he wanted Taehyung forever. He needed Taehyung forever. So it was a no brainier when he said yes, head in the clouds as he watched Taehyung slip the ring on his finger.

It was only after that, that the two removed their hands from each other's chests, only to intertwine them in the space between them. Taehyung glanced down at the ring on Jungkook's finger and kissed it ever so gently.

Jungkook couldn't help the happy tears that fell from his eyes, or the small laugh that left his lips when he really processed what just happened. He was ecstatic. He looked down at his finger and watched as the ring sparkled, even in the terrible lighting. His heart was warm and he couldn't even express in words how much this all meant to him. He looked up at Taehyung, who was looking at his finger that had the ring wrapped around it with a huge smile across his lips. Those lips.

"Taehyung..." The other looked up at him at the call of his name, smile faltering a bit in confusion but returning in full swing when Jungkook finished, "Can I kiss you?"

Taehyung took ahold of Jungkook's hand and pulled him closer. His lips grazed over his cheek and stopped right next to his ear.

"You can do whatever you want to me..."
