Love Me || Taekook

"Taehyung!!!"

"What the hell..." Taehyung swung his body around just before he was nearly tackled to the ground by a body he swore was going at least mach 2. He actually had to gasp for air since all the oxygen his body had been trying to absorb had been blasted out of his lungs.

"Are you okay!? I heard that bastard was in your class! I swear if he put a finger on you-" a quick smack on the shoulder accompanied by an angry glare shut Jungkook up quickly. "What?"

"Don't 'What?' me. Why the hell are you barreling through the hallway for no goddamn reason?" Taehyung peaked around his boyfriend's shoulder to make sure no one had been hurt or knocked over. "And no, he didn't do shit to me because, as far as I can tell, he's a decent human being. You, on the other hand, almost gave me a fucking concussion."

"Oh...yeah sorry about that. I was just so worried. I couldn't focus in any of my classes when the teacher said you were in the same class as that guy." Jungkook took a small step back and gave a sheepish smile. "I may have overreacted a bit."

"Ya think!?" Taehyung sighed heavily and facepalmed, nodding to himself in acceptance of the reality that fate had chosen an idiot for his life long partner. "I accept your apology, but don't do it again please."

"I won't. I won't. I'll behave..." Jungkook dropped his smile into a cautious glare as his gaze shifted to the door to Taehyung's classroom. He carefully pulled the omega behind him, eyeing the boy who stood there. He didn't say much, but he didn't think he had to.

"Oh, your Taehyung's friend-"

"One step closer and I'll knock your fuckin' teeth out." Jungkook tightened the grip he had on Taehyung's wrist, growling quietly enough for only the two wolves to hear.

"Jungkook, back off. He's not who you think he is." Taehyung tried to step out from his forced hiding spot, but the hand wrapped around his arm kept him in place.

"Taehyung told me about that guy. I promise I'm not him." Takuya's body was tense with fear and anxiousness, and the surrounding students started to murmur, gathering around to watch what was about to happen.

"What do you- what the..." Jungkook flinched, a strong pinch biting at the skin on his back. He glanced back to Taehyung who was shaking his head with a serious expression. It took a long moment of serious self control, but Jungkook eventually took a deep breath and mumbled a nearly incoherent apology to Takuya.

"Hey! Ow!" Taehyung pinched the alpha again.

"Louder."

"Fuck! I'm sorry alright! I shouldn't have hit you." Jungkook grimaced at the pit that fell in his stomach. Apologizing to one of those pieces of shit made him feel nauseous.

"I forgive you. It's understandable that you mistook me for someone else, but please note that I'm not that bad guy from before." Takuya strained a smile, nervously glancing to Taehyung.

Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows in confusion at the second mention of something he knew nothing about, but Taehyung's hand squeezing his arm gently helped him realize it was an excuse. "Yeah, sorry about that. You two look exactly the same."

Taehyung, finally able to step away, smiled at the Takuya kindly. "Why don't you head to the cafeteria? Just follow all the other kids and you'll find it just fine. Jungkook and I need to talk really quick. I'll be there soon."

"Okay. I'll see you later then." The poor boy waved meekly and headed off down the hall, holding his head down and looking like a scared puppy.

"Come with me." Taehyung grabbed Jungkook's hand and rushed off in the opposite direction, heading straight to the abandoned boy's locker room. Once he made sure they were alone, he locked the deadbolt and turned on his heals. "What the hell were you thinking? I thought I'd be the one to fuck something up with my nerves, but you forgot everything we were told to do!"

"I know..."

"Do you know? Growling in the middle of the hallway? Speeding down the hallway like a madman? Threatening him with another beating!?" Taehyung paced, but it was more due to his anxiety than his anger even despite his tone.

"I know what we were told, but-"

"But!? It doesn't matter Jungkook!" Taehyung took several steps forward and pushed a finger to the alpha's chest. "We don't know if he's even actually a part of the church! If he is, we don't know if he's caught on yet! You could've just ruined everything!" With every point, he beat his finger against the older teen's chest harder.

"Stop it. You need to calm down." Jungkook grabbed Taehyung's hand, but he was only met with defiance as it was pulled out of his grip and then shoved back against his chest with force. "Tae..." he edged the word with warning, but it seemed that Taehyung didn't care.

"No! You need to fucking listen! You could've ruined the last bit of hope that we have for this situation!"

"Kim Taehyung!"

"Shut up! Do you even know what would happen if they found out where we are!? That we exist here!? Do you know what they'd-"

The loud bang of Taehyung's body being slammed against a row of lockers rung out but was only heard by them. Both of their eyes locked and tension so tight it was in danger of collapsing into a disaster filled the room.

"You think I don't know what would happen?" Jungkook's voice was low and angry. His pheromones made the air almost impossible to breath, and his eyes glowed a vibrant red. "You think I don't know how reckless and irresponsible I was just now? You're saying that to me of all people?"

Taehyung shrank underneath the menacing alpha but wasn't able to break eye contact. "I-" his words caught in his throat, unable to make their way out. His heart pounded against his chest painfully, and the thick air constricted his breathing. He stood there, frozen in fear, guilt, and shock. He felt tears threatening to shine his eyes, but he forced them back. For a long time, he stood silently, but he soon changed that with a soft gasp and a flushed face.
