You're My Light

"What's up?" Jimin asks as he strokes a hand down his cheek.
Tae leans into the touch, his eyes closing briefly. "I have a confession," he says. "I didn't just text you to come cuddle with me."

After joining the others and spending some much needed time with them in Malta, Taehyung still can't quite reign in his emotions. He'd broken down on the camping trip but thankfully Jimin had been there to console him, as he usually is. Jimin's presence is always a comfort for him, regardless of what's going on in his life. He knows he's particularly vulnerable at this moment and he's tried to remain as strong as possible, but it was only a matter of time before someone noticed he still wasn't at his best.

"Everything okay?" Jungkook asks Taehyung once they're back in their shared room.

"Yeah," he mumbles, shuffling around the room looking for his pajamas.

There's an awkward silence for a few minutes and then he hears Jungkook sigh loudly behind him.

"Hyung, do you want Jimin to come in here?"

"No, I'm fine, why would–"

"You just seem sad. And I suck at being a shoulder to cry on but I know Jiminie hyung would be here in a flash if you asked him to."

Taehyung shakes his head. "It's not important, Kook."

"It is though," the younger insists. "I can tell."

He's usually so good at keeping things together—masking his feelings when the situation calls for it—but Jungkook is too perceptive. He smiles slightly and falls back onto the bed with a deep sigh.

"You're too smart for your own good sometimes," he says.

Jungkook grins. "Well, you guys taught me everything I know." His phone is suddenly thrust into his hand and he blinks up at Jungkook curiously. "Text Jimin. He can help."

"But it's late..."

"I'll sleep in Namjoonie hyung and Hobi hyung's room," he says, picking up his pillow under his arm. "Don't worry about me."

"But–"

"Good night, Tae."

He's gone before Taehyung can call him back. He frowns then and looks down at his phone, his thumb hovering over Jimin's name. He swears and opens up an already existing conversation and sends a quick message asking Jimin to come down to the room, letting him know that it was important.

A few minutes pass and then he hears footsteps pounding down the stairs until there's a gentle knock at the door. Jimin steps through when Taehyung tells him to come in.

"Taehyungie? What's wrong?" Jimin asks worriedly. He plops himself on the bed beside him and immediately wraps Tae up in his arms.

Taehyung just smiles and leans into his familiar warmth. "It's nothing serious. I'm better now that you're here."

Jimin rubs a comforting hand up and down his back, resting his chin on his shoulder. Jimin's other hand reaches to hold one of Taehyung's and he watches as his larger fingers intertwine with Jimin's smaller ones, smiling slightly. It's such a common act between them but right now it feels extremely intimate. Jimin softly sings a love song that Jungkook's been really into lately and it warms his heart to be able to listen to his sweet voice whenever he can. Just having Jimin beside him makes him feel like all his worries can disappear.

They sit like that for a while longer, content in each other's company, but Taehyung's feeling antsy and wants more. He's always been a bit greedy when it comes to wanting affection from Jimin.
