~Fireworks~Grapey watched as he reached his target, he watched as the man cried. He stood there in confusion. Why had he been crying? Grapey thought over and over and took a deep breath. Walking over with a smile on his face, his dimples poking out. Grapey saw someone come out of nowhere and take the crying man into his embrace, and Grapey hid. He touched his watch and spoke into the automated assistant. "Who's that?" He pointed the watch at the other man, holding Kim Seokjin. The device scanned the man, and within seconds his records came up.

Grapey held his mouth open in an 'O' nodding his head, understanding his human a little better. He finally shook his hands out to calm his anxiety and walked over to the two men. To be fair he felt guilty as it seemed he was interrupting an intimate moment. He wasn't sure of how to approach them or what to say, and before he could speak he got a call. Grapey turned away from the boys who hadn't noticed him creep up 4 feet behind them. "Grapey?" The person on the other end called his name. "Yes?" The person chuckled. "Hey buddy how are you doing? It's Yoongi." Grapey's face lit up. "Gummy Bear!" He shouted not realizing that Taehyung had taken notice. "Yeah don't call me that." Grapey chuckled. "Uhh I just wanted to remind you the fireworks are starting soon so don't... piss your pants." Grapey pouted hearing his hyung curse. "Gummy Bear. We aren't supposed to curse." Gummy Bear just brushed it off. "They can't do anything about it. Anyways you find your human?" Grapey nodded furiously.
The man on the other end, sat there knowing what he had done by the sound of his movements but not because he could see him. "You know I can't see you nodding right?" Grapey stopped and his lips pursed in and 'o'. "Right." He laughed awkwardly. "Okay well be careful and happy new years Grapey. Stay safe."
"You too, bye!" Grapey hadn't noticed how loud his voice was. Seokjin looked at him as if Grapey were the most obnoxious human ever. Grapey hung up, a full smile on his face, and turned around, only to be met with the two brothers glaring him down for ruining their moment. "Who are you?" Taehyung spoke up, getting in the Star's face. Grapey leaned backwards as Taehyung leaned in and... sniffed him?
"Are you drunk?" Taehyung blatantly asked. Grapey thought it was funny that they were strangers yet Taehyung talked so comfortably, and in his dialect too. He found it funny, so much a light, sweet chuckle erupted from his lips. Seokjin thought it was beautiful, they way his dimples caved in when he smiled and the light laughter coming from his mouth. The way his lips parted to show his white teeth as he smiled, and they he shyly his covered his face with one hand. "I like your accent." He spoke to Taehyung.
Taehyung was a little taken aback but flung his jacket off his hip and put his hand there, amusing the stranger. "Right. You should. How old are you kid? Huh?" Taehyung spoke like an old man amusing Grapey. "I'm..." Grapey had to think for a moment what was his age again. It changed wherever he went, and since he was a Star, technically he was very old. "25." Grapey smiled as Taehyung's face fell.
"Shoot." He spoke in his dialect. "You're older than me." He laughed in his dialect too. He turned his body over to Seokjin then back at Grapey. Taehyung then proceeded to bow in front of Grapey. "I'm sorry." He stated but Grapey just laughed at his cuteness. "It's okay." He smiled widely and Taehyung kept making him laugh.
Seokjin stood there as if he were looking into the face of an angel. He looked at Grapey with pure eyes. Seokjin felt his heart melt and stick to his rib cage. Something about the man was so calming. He could feel the mans presence change his life, a shift in his heart, and that same presence, that feeling found its way to his heart. Had he known what this one man could do...Maybe he would have stared at his face longer, to remember even the smallest details.
Grapey soon noticed Seokjin' s eyes on him and he smiled wishing Seokjin wouldn't look at him like that. His eyes were sad he didn't like being stared at, even though people stared at him everyday in the night. "Who are you?" Seokjin spoke up and pulled Taehyung beside him. "I need a name." Seokjin looked mad as if he didn't like Grapey. It hurt poor Grapey's feelings, why didn't he like him. "Huh?" Was all Grapey could muster. "Who are you! What's your name?" Seokjin' s face grew red. Grapey nodded his head in understanding and the brothers awaited his answer.
"I..." Grapey couldn't remember. He didn't remember his Korean name, he was given many names. In American countries he took the nickname Monie, but now he couldn't remember his assigned name. "I'm..." Seokjin waited with eyebrows raised. Grapey he knew he had to give an answer or else he would be pushed away by his human and wouldn't be able to fulfill his wish. He wanted to ask Gummy Bear what it was real quick, but that would be weird. Think. Think, Grapey.
"Don't you have a name?" Seokjin spoke with almost worry. "I-I do." He spoke softly. "You don't remember?" Taehyung questioned, and Grapey fiddled with his thumbs nervously. "No." He bit the corner of his lips. Shoot, what do I do? The brothers looked at each other and then back to him, thinking he was some poor soul who just dropped out of the sky. If only they knew.
"What about your last name? Do you remember that?" Taehyung asked and Grapey thought for a moments, creasing his brows. Seokjin watched Grapey's face scrunch up, and thought he still looked handsome. "Uh...I'm a Kim!" Grapey smiled but Taehyung sighed. "Great. Do you have any idea how many damn Kim's there are." Grapey's face fell, and he pouted. "Sorry." His eyes fell to the floor.
Taehyung looked at Seokjin then back at Grapey. "No. It's okay." He assured the man, patting his shoulder and Grapey smiled again, this time attacking Taehyung's heart. "Huh. Uh. Okay." He was taken aback by this loud heart beats, and held his heart like there was something wrong with it. Seokjin let out a deep exhale. "Well then. First we should-"
Then suddenly, cutting Seokjin off, was the thing Yoongi had warned Grapey about. The fireworks, the loud noises. Grapey didn't do well with those. He let out a shriek, grabbing Seokjin' s shoulders and hiding behind him. Not knowing what the hell was happening, Seokjin looked back at Grapey with a weird look and watched as Grapey's entire body shake.
Grapey slowly raised his head and looked into Seokjin' s eyes. In that moment something strange happened. The fireworks faded from their vison, the loud booming faded from their ears and they looked into each others souls. Grapey felt weird, this human was...different.
