The Royal Selection

Cuddles

"Oh my god," Yoongi moaned, his voice muffled by the bed sheets. "I am so sorry." Jimin chuckled and squeezed Yoongi around the waist.

Yoongi had squeezed into Jimin's rather large hospital bed, his head lying against the pillows with Jimin's head resting on his chest. Yoongi's right hand was absentmindedly playing with the omegas soft locks, while his left thumb drew circles into the skin above Jimin's hipbone.

"It's okay. I'm sorry too." Jimin looked up towards Yoongi and smiled before nuzzling into Yoongi's chest.

"So where's Minjae now?" Yoongi sighed and tightened his grip around the omega. "We found him hiding in a small house just outside the village. He had some help to get him outside the palace. He's in jail now." Jimin sighed in relief.

"Thank gods. And the people who helped him?" Jimin questioned.

"Also in jail and waiting for trial along with Minjae." Yoongi confirmed.

They lay there, basking in each other's warmth. When Yoongi noticed Jimin starting to drift off, he pull the blanket higher, tucking it gently around Jimin's neck.

Now that he knew what really happened, the stress and pain that had been plaguing his body for the past few days were finally gone.

He felt happier, knowing that he could still call Jimin his, and that Jimin feels the same.

He closed his eyes to bask in Jimin's warmth, the feeling of Jimins chest rising and falling with every breath soothing. He let his nose dip into Jimin's soft and fluffy hair, inhaling his sweet scent.

The comfortable and content feeling that overwhelms him causes his eyes to droop and his head to rest on the crown of Jimins head.

"-ly shit I think Jimin woke up."

"That's basically the only explanation as to why they are sleeping in the same bed."

"Should we wake them?"

"I don't think so."

Yoongi slowly opened his eyes, and was met with Jungkook and Kai's annoying faces staring right at him.

"Oh never mind he's awake." Yoongi glared, but he couldn't really move as Jimin was still sleeping, plastered over his body. The most he could do was flap his left arm in a 'shooing away' motion.

"Go away, can't you see he's sleeping?" Yoongi hisses, but he can't really do anything when Jungkook and Kai were standing out of arms reach. Yoongi sighed.

"Shouldn't you, I don't know, notify the medical staff or something? You know Jimin was awake for a period of time." His excuse worked and Jungkook and Kai scuttled off to find medic people.

"Mmmmm, Yoonie?" Yoongi looked down to see Jimin yawning and rubbing his eyes cutely, looking like a baby as he did so. "You sleep well darling?" Jimin blushed at the pet name, hiding his face in Yoongi's chest. Jimin was adorably shy when he wakes up.

"Yes." Comes Jimin's muffled reply. "How's your stitches?" Jimin loves his hand to touch his stitched up wound gingerly, his face scrunching up.

"Don't press too hard or it might open." Yoongi warned worriedly. Jimin gave him small smile. "It's fine. It's not bad."

Yoongi sighed and hugged Jimin. "You hungry?" Jimin contemplated for a moment before nodding. "Yes." Yoongi sits up, gently maneuvering them so Yoongi could get out and not strain Jimin too much.

"I can get you a few items. I don't know if the doctor had any restrictions, but I'll just get you soup okay? Can't go wrong with soup." Jimin's gives him the okay and Yoongi leaves, leaving Jimin's alone in the room.

A few minutes passed before the door slid open again. This time, it wasn't Yoongi or Jungkook and Kai.

"Oh! My sweet boy you're awake!" His mother rushed in with his brother Taehyung in tow, closing the door behind them and crowding around his bed.

He hugs them, while his mother smothers him.

"Ma, you're gonna kill him." Taehyung says, when The Queen starts to hug Jimin a bit too tight. She laughs sheepishly and releases Jimin, who hair is ruffled from the hug.

Just then, the door opens and Yoongi comes in, balancing a tray in one hand, and the other holding the door knob.

He stops when he sees the Queen and the second princes, trying to bow properly with a tray in his hand.

"It's alright." The Queen fusses, leading Yoongi towards Jimin.

Yoongi lays the tray down and picks up the bowl and spoon. He dips the spoon into the soup and holds it out for Jimin to eat.

Glancing at his brother and mother in embarrassment, he accepts the mouthful and allows Yoongi to feed him like this.

Honestly, he could get used to it.

"When you're better, we will hold the trial for Minjae and his helpers. We want you to be there." The Queen says once Jimin finished eating.

"His mother and father are not happy about it, but it's not like they can do anything about it." Taehyung added, a smirk gracing his features. "They're furious."

Yoongi nods, glad to hear that news.

The Queen turns to look at Yoongi.

"If you don't mind, we would like to talk to Jimin alone." Yoongi nodded and with Jimin's small smile shot his way, he left them alone, taking the tray and bowl with him.

Now that Yoongi was alone in the hallways, he started to wonder what will happen after everything's done.

He sincerely hoped Minjae would go to jail, maybe exiled, but the latter is probably wishful thinking.

Whatever happens, as long as Yoongi gets to stay with Jimin, he's fine with anything.
