Me and You

s u m m a r y
Jimin's hands gently cup Tae's face and it's all Tae can do not to whimper. His heart is hammering in his chest. When Jimin finally pulls away his lips look even more plush than usual and he's breathing heavily like he's just run a marathon.

Tae blinks, hoping his brain can start functioning properly again. "Wha...what?"

Beautiful. Poetic. Exactly what he wanted to say.

-

"I think he hates me."

Jimin is close to crying and Taehyung is doing everything in his power not to let that happen. He hugs his friend close, trying to will away his sadness but he knows it won't be that simple. Jimin gets hurt so easily lately, especially when it comes to their youngest member.

"He doesn't," he reassures him. "You know he doesn't. He's just shy, Jiminie."

Jimin sniffles against his chest, arms wrapped tight around Tae's body. "You think I'm pathetic too, don't you?"

"No." And he doesn't. He understands very well that his best friend has strong feelings for Jungkook. Anyone with eyes can tell, honestly, but Jungkook is a shy, anxious teen and Jimin can be a little much. "I know you're sincere."

"But Jungkook hates it. He runs away from me. I just...I don't know how to act around him..."

Tae lifts Jimin's face to meet his and his heart aches when he sees how red and wet his friend's eyes are. "Jiminie, don't worry so much over it, okay?" he says softly. He wipes a stray tear falling down Jimin's face. "Jungkook will come around and soon you'll be whining to me that he won't leave you alone."

Jimin laughs and it's music to Tae's ears. "Thanks, TaeTae."

Tae smiles and kisses the top of Jimin's head. "I love you, Jiminie. Never forget that, okay?"

Jimin nods slowly and relaxes in Tae's arms. It's so natural to be like this for them. Tae has never in his life imagined he'd have a best friend like Jimin. He's good at making friends generally, but Jimin is special. Jimin is his bandmate, his fellow 95 liner, and the one who he confides in the most. He would probably kill for him if Jimin asked.

He feels Jimin shifting in his arms and they make eye contact for a brief moment, with Jimin looking like he wants to say something.

"What's up?" Tae asks, hand stroking along Jimin's back.

Jimin looks so unbelievably breathtaking right now. Taehyung isn't blind, he's known Jimin for a few years now and he's seen his body in various states of undress so he knows just how attractive he is, but he's never really entertained the thought of doing more than cuddling or playful cheek kisses.

But Jimin is looking at him with such intensity, the kind of look he gets when he sees Jungkook actually, and Taehyung feels lightheaded.

"Jimin?"

Jimin says nothing as he sits up and stares down at him. He's never had Jimin look at him like this before. He feels vulnerable and warm, like he might explode if Jimin doesn't say something soon.

A traitorous part of his mind wants him to kiss him. He wants to pull Jimin down and touch those luscious lips to his own and feel how soft they are. He's imagined it a few times in his moments of weakness late at night but now there's a very real possibility his far-fetched fantasy is about to come true.

"I'm such an idiot," Jimin whispers.

"Huh?"

He suddenly leans down and it's almost like slow motion as his face gets closer and closer and then they're just a few inches apart and Tae can't breathe–-what the fuck is going on–-
