Yoongi removed the lose block stones from the wall before crawling through the hole. Once he was on the other side, he waited till the prince could crawl through as well. It was becoming more of a habit. Every three days or so, the King would decide to stroll during midnight and someone the prince was almost always present. Tagging along. And at times when Yoongi would raise his eyebrow inquisitively, Jimin would just smiled innoncently and softly ask—May I join, please?
And Yoongi couldn't bring himself to say no when the prince asked him so adorably, and smiled so sweetly.
"So, where are going today?" Jimin asked, standing up and dusting off the dirt that Yoongi was unsure was even present, "Is the cliff? I love the cliff, it's so pretty there. Can we go the cliff?"
Yoongi orginally wanted to walk through the town, but right now when the prince was looking at him expectantly. His eyes literally sparkling under the moonlight, Yoongi found himself agreeing with Jimin.
"Yay!" The prince cheered and started walking ahead of the King.
Along the way, they did the kids. Or more like the kids came running upto them. And Yoongi waited till the prince was finished interacting with the children. His presence was more or less forgotten. But Yoongi didn't mind. He, for some reason like the way the prince would interact with the kids. A wide smile on his face, and his eye curved into crescents.
"Shall we continue?" Yoongi asked, once the kids left and Jimin was waving them goodbye.
The younger turned around and smiled, nodding, "Yes."
As they walked towards the cliff, the prince again got distracted. This time, however, Yoongi didn't have to stop and wait since Jimin was busy chasing after a butterfly. He chuckled when the butterfly flew away from reach, the prince stomping his foot on the ground and pouting.
"Do you want to go search for another one?" Yoongi asked, approaching the prince.
"No, I want to stay with you." Jimin replied, and walked along with the white-haired.
Yoongi didn't understand why suddenly felt a little jittery hearing that. His heart rising in its pace. A smile forming on its own as muttered, "Okay."
He noticed the prince shuffling on his feet near the edge as he waited for the King to arrive. Nervously, looking between the edge and him.
"We don't have to sit so close to the edge if you don't want to." Said Yoongi.
Suddenly he felt an unsual feeling. Like the time had slowed down around him. His hert beat increasing inside his chest. His breath hitching in his throat. A creepily familiar feeling crawling up his body. As if he should know something, but he couldn't remember it. And then a sentence flashed through his mind.
But it's pretty from here... Plus, you won't let me fall, right?
Jimin looked up at the sky before answering, "It's pretty from here." He smiled, "And His Majesty won't let me fall, will he?"
Yoongi's heart thumped inside his chest. His heard aching from trying to remember something that possibly wasn't even there. His vision tunneled to the prince. Everything else blurring out. Yoongi almost stumbled in his step before gaining back his composure.
"Never." Yoongi breathed without even thinking of it. Almost like his soul knew that it was the only thing he should utter as the reply.
Yoongi sat down on the edge, his feet dangling above the see. And even though the prince said it was okay, he was still scared. Sitting on the edge, but crossing his feet, too scared to sit the same way the elder.
"I don't understand something." Jimin murmured after a moment of silence.
"That is?"
"This," Jimin started, referring to the place and the way they were sitting, "It seems so familiar. From the very first time."
"It does?" Yoongi asked, surprised that he wasn't the only who thought of it.
"Hmm, it does. A lot. A bit peculiar, but comforting." Jimin replied, his eyes shifting upwards, "Does His Majesty know the stars?"
Yoongi followed the prince's gaze, gasping quietly the star studded sky. Like diamons sprawled carelessly over deep, velvety blue cloth, "Not quite. Except for may be a few."
"Which ones?"
Yoongi instinctually searched for one specific star in the sky and pointed towards its upon finding it, "That is the Polaris, is it not?"
Jimin hummed and nodded, "Ah yes, it's part of a constellation," Jimin spoke, drawing an imaginary shape joining the bright North Star, "The Usra Minor." Then the prince leaned in before pointing to another star and drawing another shape, "And that is the Ursa Major."
"Did you know, the stories say Ursa Major was orginally a maiden and Ursa Minor is her son." Jimin continued, stilling looking at the sky.
"When did you learn all this?" Yoongi asked, genuinely surprised as the prince continued named a few more stars
Um... I was getting bored this weekend so...
"Oh, I was getting tired of being idle last week, and I decided to take a peak in your library." Jimin mumbled. They stayed silent for a while. Just looking at the star and hearing the sound of the sea waves, crashing against the cliff.
"Your Majesty, may I say something?" Jimin spoke up, gaining Yoongi's attention.
"Yes of course." He replied, noting the slight blush on the prince's face.
"Will be alright if I want to spend more time in your company?" Jimin asked, looking away as the blush grew darker, "I like having conversations with you, beyond just the matters of our kingdom. Our time in the garden is enjoyable of course, but I must say, it's too quiet."
Yoongi froze hearing that. His mind failing to comprehend the words, for some reason. He felt heat swell in his heart. It was familiar yet forgein at the same time. It soothed his soul as if it had been craving for it for so long, but his body felt anxious from the newness of it.
"I-I don't really talk much, prince." Yoongi replied, "You will be bored in my presence."
"But you will present, yes?" Jimin responded, "That would be enough, I suppose."
