Work Text:
“hey,” taehyung wraps his fingers in jimin’s sleeve and tugs. he’s been trying to get him to move for almost five minutes but he keeps going ‘and another thing’ in the conversation with jin hyung and kookie.
he tugs again and jimin falls back into him. settles like he plans on making his home right there in tae’s lap.
“hey,” he says again.
jimin tilts his head back and smiles at him. everything is still so cute upside down.
“hey back.”
“i made you something.”
jimin’s eyes get big and he turns. before he can ask, though, tae stands them both up, waves at everyone with jimin’s hands and walks him backwards out of the room.
“close your eyes.”
“tae.” jimin laughs his exasperated still happy laugh, and tae just shrugs and puts his back on the door.
“fine.” he puts his sleeves over his eyes, and tae opens the door. he shushes tannie and leads jimin into the room by the hem of his sweater.
tae holds jimin by the shoulders and puts him in his place. “do you trust me to push you right now?”
“you wanted to show me trust falls, taehyung?”
he can’t help but laugh at jimin. he smooths his hair back, and then pushes him. it’s light and jimin doesn’t have far to fall.
he makes a small ‘oof’ sound when he lands.
tae follows after him and covers them up, tucks their top blankets into the safe places he made.
after he grabs his laptop and rolls over, he sees jimin beaming at him again. from right side up this time. with tannie in his arms.
he can’t take that kind of smile. he never can. he ducks his head.
“gonna hit play.”
“you made me a blanket fort.” jimin’s face is just that smile. everywhere tae looks. he can’t get away from it.
“we’re watching ponyo again.”
“in the blanket fort.” jimin cradles yeontan and scuttles as close to tae as he possibly can. “in the blanket fort you made for me.” he lays his head on tae’s chest as the movie comes up.
tae rests his head on top of jimin’s and threads their fingers together in tannie’s fur.
“you needed it.” tannie licks jimin’s chin.
“i needed a blanket fort? i needed you to make me a blanket fort? a blanket fort just to watch movies?”
“shut up or i’m kicking you out and yeontan is getting your snacks.”
“can’t kick me out of my own blanket fort. i’m king.” jimin is so smug and so cute. taehyung shoves a snack in his mouth. jimin just laughs and laughs.
jimin lets go of his hand and wraps himself fully around him. tae tucks a blanket around all three of them and breathes. and breathes.
and breathes.
he plays with jimin’s hair while the movie menu plays over and over, and when he knows jimin is almost asleep he says, “i’ll make you one every day if you need me to,” and presses his matching smile into jimin’s shoulder.
