Hold You Tighter | TaeGyu

Okay? Okay

After their little reunion, Beomgyu and Taehyun were decidedly left alone to talk their issues out. With Yeonjun being the last one to pass, shooting them a thumbs up, the door finally slammed shut.

Taehyun looks over his shoulder, only to catch Beomgyu already staring. Somehow, after their intense series of breakdowns, the air was awkward.

He takes a deep breath before turning to face the other but as he's about to start-

"Will you go on a date with me?"

Taehyun's breath hitches and his blood rises up to his ears, warm beneath his skin.

"What- I umm, what did you j-just say?" he stutters out in disbelief.

Beomgyu almost immediately answers, "A date. Tomorrow"

"Date?"

"Date"

"Us?"

"Us"

"T-Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow"

"For real?"

"Yeah, Taehyun. For real" Beomgyu nods with a smile, finding the younger's curious expression amusing.

Taehyun stares at him, mouth hanging open. And it makes Beomgyu a little anxious so he pries again, "Please? Will you-"

"Yes! Yes. Yes, of course. I will go on a date with you"

Beomgyu chuckles loudly at his abruptness and the red across Taehyun's cheeks deepens as he looks down embarrassed.

The older grabs his shoulders and peppers his cheeks with kisses until their eyes meet.

"Okay?"

"Okay", Taehyun whispers.

They stare at each other for the nth time without being tired before Taehyun continues, "Hyung....you don't have to stay here tonight"

Beomgyu visibly frowns.

"Because you'll have to prepare for the d-date, right?"

Now that makes his frown dissolve into realization. Sure, he has to prepare a lot. So he flashes a smile, nodding.

"But then-"

"Hyuka can stay with me" Taehyun cuts him before adding,"....and help me for the date"

The older shrugs.

"So..."

"So...?"

"I should get going then"

"Yeah, you should"

They tear their gazes away to look at their intertwined hands, both equally warm. Who knows when that happened! They part away and looking back at each other's eyes, they know very well that the other isn't too happy to let the other go. But they also know they need a little 'me-time' tonight.

"Goodnight, Hyunnie!"

"Goodnight"

"Sleep well"

"You too"

With a final smile and a chest full of butterflies, Beomgyu turns around, running on his feet because he too knows if he waited one more second, he wouldn't leave at all.

Taehyun lets out a deep sigh he didn't know he was holding, eventually flopping on the bed.

Breathe in. Breathe out. He tells himself multiple times before his eyes shoot open.
