Work Text:
Taehyung was sitting on the terrace on the rooftop, next to his friends, and watching his boyfriend Jungkook take pictures of the cityscape. They’d had a long day and decided to have a small picnic on the roof of their hotel, on which they had spent the entire afternoon hanging out together and having fun. They were eating some sandwiches and chatting happily, even their fatigue couldn’t make them in a bad mood. They were together, in a beautiful place, just the seven of them. It was really nice, they felt at ease, even though they were tired and knew they had to go on the road again in just a few hours from now. Road-trips around the USA were quite tiring.
When he was finished eating, Taehyung got up, walked to his boyfriend and wrapped his arms around his slim waist, smiling slightly. Jungkook looked at him with a soft smile and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.
“You should eat a bit, darling. We left you some sandwiches.”
“Just a few moments, Tae. The sun will be setting soon and I want to take some more pictures of you. You know you’re my favourite model.”
The elder blushed and buried his face in the crook of his lover’s neck. Jungkook loved taking pictures of him, he was his muse, but it always made Taehyung go a bit shy. He loved it too, of course. He loved the camera as much as the camera loved him.
Jungkook had already taken a couple of pictures of him throughout the day, while they were all hanging out, but it wasn’t the same. It wasn’t an intimate, so he understood why he wanted to take some more while it was just the two of them. And he could never say no to him, he loved him way too much to upset him.
“Fine but just a couple, then you’ll eat. Deal?”
“Deal.”
Taehyung took his boyfriend’s hand in his and led him to a spot where the lightning was ideal to take pictures. He sat down and Jungkook kneeled a bit further away while his lover posed for him. It was like Taehyung was born for this; he knew how to make the camera fall in love with him. He always knew how to pose, what to do with his hands. He knew how gorgeous he looked, and he always looked at the camera with intensity and no smile on his face, except for the few times when he laughed at what Jungkook said, or was just being silly.
The pair had been dating for a couple of years now, and the only ones who knew were their best friends. They were always touching each other but still knew how to keep a secret, so not even their close-minded families knew about their relationship. And in these few years of dating, Jungkook had taken hundreds of pictures of Taehyung, and Taehyung had taken hundreds of pictures of Jungkook. They both loved photography and each other, so of course they couldn’t help but capture the beautiful moments they spent together. And this was one of them.
They went on like this for about 40 minutes, just enjoying each other’s company, laughing and taking pictures. Taehyung even sat on the edge of the rooftop after many minutes of arguing, he was terrified of heights but Jungkook always managed to reassure him, and the result was worth it.
When they were finally done, they sat together, as close as possible because they didn’t knew the meaning of personal space, and looked at the pictures Jungkook had taken. He was really talented, Taehyung was always amazed by his work. He could see how passionate his boyfriend was about what he did through the pictures. He was beyond proud of him, he always was. Jungkook had a lot of talents, which included dancing, singing, sports and photography, but the latter was definitely Taehyung’s favourite, because it included going out on dates at the park or anywhere around their home while Jungkook took pictures, and it also included Taehyung modelling, which was something he had always loved.
“You look beautiful, baby. Always do.”
Taehyung giggled at this and ran his hand through Jungkook’s hair.
“You’re even more beautiful, Kook-ah. And talented. And perfect. And I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Jungkook smiled softly at him and kissed his temple, ignoring the gagging noises Jimin made in the background. Taehyung flipped him off, laughing as his little friend stuck his tongue out at him. Jungkook laughed at the two and put a hand on Taehyung’s neck, stroking his skin softly. Their friends always teased them, but they knew they had nothing against their relationship and were only joking around. They were their biggest supporters, they would be absolutely devastated if the couple ever broke up and the pair was thankful to have such wonderful, protective and supportive friends around them.
While they were looking at the last pictures, Taehyung fed Jungkook some sandwiches, not forgetting about their small deal. He always took care of his boyfriend, always checking if he drank and ate enough, if he didn’t overwork himself with school stuff and if he didn’t go to sleep too late. It caused some arguments between them, because Jungkook worked a lot, always gave all he had to studying and doing extra hours at work, and Taehyung didn’t like this at all. He was always worried about him, about his health and his well-being. It was in his nature to be this way with the people he loved.
But moments like these made them forget about everything else. They were lost in their own world, lost in each other, every single problem long gone.
“Baby, look, the sun’s setting.”
Taehyung looked up at him, and was faced with a beautiful sunset. The boys both got up and went to the edge, Jungkook took some more pictures of the sunset while Taehyung took a picture of the both of them with his phone. It was one of these moments he would cherish forever.
Jungkook turned around at some point and asked Namjoon to take pictures of them in front of the sunset. He was an amazing photographer and always posted beautiful pictures on his Instagram, he had a lot of followers there, so whenever Taehyung and Jungkook wanted a picture of them that wasn’t a selca, they would ask Namjoon.
They pretended not to notice while their friend took pictures of them, and Jungkook took one last picture of Taehyung while he was busy looking at his texts on his phone and leaned over to kiss his boyfriend’s cheek.
“I’m done now.”
“Good, we should go back to our rooms now. It’s getting late.”
Jungkook nodded and put away his camera in its protective cover before going to help the other six clean up the mess they had made with the food. They packed up their things before going back to their rooms. They were really tired, it wasn’t that late but they had spent the entire day outside, so it was indeed quite late to them. And they were in Los Angeles after all, far away from Korea, so they were jet-lagged.
A few minutes later, they arrived to their rooms, all of them wanting nothing more but to sleep. They all went inside of their room; Namjoon with Yoongi, Jin with Hoseok and Jimin, and Taehyung with Jungkook. As soon as they entered, Taehyung let himself fall face first of the large bed. Jungkook laughed behind him and laid down next to him, putting an arm around his waist and bringing him closer. Taehyung smiled at the gesture and looked up at his boyfriend.
“How are you still so pretty? You did your make-up in the morning… It’s 9pm.” Jungkook whispered while looking at his lover.
“I was born pretty.”
“True.”
Jungkook laughed and his boyfriend gave him one of his precious rectangular smiles. The younger stroked his cheek slowly and leaned in, kissing his lips chastely. Taehyung caressed his back while kissing him lovingly. Jungkook backed away a little and looked at his significant other with a love in his eyes.
“We should probably get changed and get some sleep.”
Taehyung nodded before getting up and taking off his clothes. Jungkook looked at his beautiful body, he could never get enough of this wonderful sight. Taehyung put on some sweatpants and no shirt before going back to bed.
“Like what you see?”
“A lot.”
Taehyung giggled and Jungkook sat up on the bed to quickly take of his clothes. He always slept almost naked, with just a pair of briefs when they were too tired to do anything more than cuddling and sleeping for 13 hours straight. It happened quite often, especially on a road-trip around the United States. They had spent all their savings on it, and they loved every second of it, but they were always exhausted at the end of the day.
Jungkook laid down, facing Taehyung and brought his smaller body closer to his muscular one, leaving a few kisses on his neck, cuddling close to his lover. The elder buried his face in his chest, closing his eyes instantly, he just wanted to rest. So Jungkook watched him fall asleep, watched his soft features while he was sleeping soundly, his lips slightly open, his face completely relaxed. Jungkook watched him for about half an hour before falling asleep as well, dreaming of beautiful brown eyes, full lips and a boxy smile.
