you're cold | sope

I'll be a stone too

"Thanks"

"Why though?" Yoongi asked.

"For the food. And, for taking care of me" Hoseok said, getting shy.

"Yeah" Yoongi stated, sitting beside the younger, and eating his noodles. "For someone as loud as you, you need me"

"What?"

"S-someone like me" Yoongi panicked.

"Anyways. Do you still hate me?" Hoseok asked the other.

"For?"

"Leaving you"

Yoongi was guilty. The look on Hoseok's face was prominent enough for Yoongi to figure out that the younger was sad. Hoseok blinked his eyes, and gently shaked his head, waiting for an answer.

"I never intended to leave" Yoongi realised its feels weird when Hoseok speaks less.

"And, if I could, I would never have left. You know, making friends there is hard"

The younger continued, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to say this"

"Don't be" Yoongi said. "It's not your fault" He smiled.

"Okay then, I'm relieved"

After giving it a thought, Yoongi realised how selfish he had been. He was wrong. The way he already had preconceptions about  Hoseok being some arrogant little kid, and the way he sees the other being that exact opposite, makes him feel guilty. Hoseok seemed to have a hard time too, but Yoongi never seemed to think of that, until now.

The evening was nothing special, I'd say. But, Hoseok and Yoongi felt good with each other. Yoongi, yet once again let his guard down, and it felt good. The way Hoseok moved his hands and clapped it whenever he mentioned something exciting made Yoongi smile a lot. The way Hoseok would describe the foods he once tried, with eyes closing swiftly and opening the very next moment was interesting. When Hoseok pursed his lips together, or even when let out a hearty laugh, it all felt right. His clothes were too large for him, and so his torso looked swallowed up by those clothes. Yoongi chuckles at this.

One thing Hoseok loved about Yoongi was the latter's smile.

"You know what?"

"Yes?"

"You should smile more" The younger confessed, "you look great"

"Okay" At this point, Yoongi should thank the lucky stars because the lights are dim, for if they weren't, Hoseok would have seen the small amount of blush creeping on Yoongi's cheeks.

"Don't know if that's valid but, thank you for being my friend" Hoseok spoke out after some minutes.

"That was sudden" Yoongi replied.

"That's all? I thought you felt the same" The younger felt defeated.

"And what if I feel something more?"

"Then that's a whole different thing" Hoseok didn't really know what the other meant, but he said this anyways, maybe just for the sake of keeping up with the late night talk, you could say. Both of them didn't really have any idea how it was already midnight. It was, as if those three hours of chatting felt like some minutes.

Sleeping with scooting close to the other was now, not really a problem for Yoongi. He has gotten used to all of it. Yoongi hugging Hoseok while sleeping also wasn't something that bothered the other. As soon as he feels the familiar warmth for long, it's not a problem.

Feels weird. It's just been two weeks, both of them are already close. Even though they seem  poles apart, they get along well, atleast better than the very first time. That part is great.

"Remember you once told me you're going to be a stone?" Hoseok mumbles, getting sleepy.

"Yes, what about it?"

"That Park Taehyung told me that he'll take you to different places"

"That's Kim Taehyung" Yoongi sighed. "So what if he told you?" He said, resting his head on the other's shoulder blade.

"Well, then I'd be a stone too" Hoseok "We'll be friends"

"We'll think about it, now sleep"

"Okay" Hoseok said snatching Yoongi's pillow and placing it beneath his head. His pillow is comfortable, he thinks.

"Ah! That is mine. I hate you so much!" Yoongi was too tired to fight for the pillow.

"Oh, but I love you!" Hoseok exclaimed, pulling Yoongi's cheeks.

I think I love you too.

"Em.. What? Did you say something?" Hoseok asked Yoongi.

"Nothing. Good night"

"Okay, Good night" Hoseok said.
