Work Text:
"Where the fuck am I going to use integration after this? To calculate the amount of milk I pour into my cereal?" Jimin lets out an exasperated sigh from where he is sitting on the floor and leaned back, his arms wide open and head thrown back against the sofa.
"Focus hyung, you'll be done by tomorrow. You don't have math in third year." Jungkook speaks from across him, sitting on the other side of the coffee table, his eyes fixed on the book in his hand.
"Thank fucking God! I'm done with this! Math is the most stupid thing on this planet!" He whines as he straightens up again and grabs a pencil. He holds it against his book, tries to grasp what's already written before groaning and letting his head fall against the table.
But it hits the table a little too hard, forcing Jimin to let out an 'ow' as he straightens back up and he hears Jungkook chuckling. He is laughing at Jimin's misery.
"It's not funny. Just because you are a fucking genius doesn't mean we all understand this shit."
Jungkook was indeed a fucking genius. He finished highschool early and started college meaning he was a year younger than everyone in his class. But it didn't put a scratch on the fact that Jungkook was smarter than everyone else, most probably the smartest kid on campus. Whilst Jimin was just an average student, always trying to score as high as possible and he usually does. Except math. And also chemistry. But mostly math. He hates it with a passion. It has given Jimin so much trouble in highschool and even more in college and it's a relief that he doesn't have to study it for more than two years, but he most definitely has to pass this one final exam. One more and he'll be done with math.
"Well that's why we're here. If you don't understand something, you can ask me. I'm like your tutor." He finally looked up through the round glasses on his nose as he smiles and cocks his head to the side. "Also I'm not a genius. I'm just a little above average." He pushes his glasses up and goes back to his book.
Jimin scoffs. "Not a genius my ass." He doesn't say it out too loudly but Jungkook still hears him and gives him a look gesturing with his eyes towards Jimin's book before going back to his own.
Jimin tries focusing, racking his brain of formulas to apply on this extremely stupid problem when his stomach grumbled. Jimin looks up embarrassingly hoping the younger hadn't heard, but of course he did.
"I'll order pizza." Jungkook says as he stands up and Jimin only smiles.
Jungkook has been Jimin's friend since the beginning of college, both bonding over the fact that they were from Busan and also for their mutual liking for dancing.
They would occasionally have a weird dance party for just the two of them where they would try to learn hard choreographies and even then Jungkook was better. Jimin wasn't complaining though, he likes it when Jungkook takes control and teaches Jimin stuff.
He steals a glance at the younger now back in his seat, nose buried in his advanced calculus book, a small pout on his lips. Jimin has been successful till now in hiding his big fat crush on Jungkook, afraid of losing the other.
Jungkook has never shown any interest and Jimin was just too afraid to act on his feelings, fearing the outcome.
They stay like that for another 15 minutes, Jimin occasionally stealing a glance at Jungkook just like how he does at every one of their study sessions until the bell rings indicating an end to Jimin's hunger.
"Pizza!" Jimin yells and jumps up before the younger could protest and accepts it, paying the delivery boy.
"You should've let me pay. You are my guest."
Jungkook says with a frown, his glasses off.
"Oh shut up. You can buy me food later." Jimin replies with a wink and Jungkook only shakes his head as Jimin enthusiastically pushes his books aside and places the two large pizzas on the coffee table.
"Can you study later? Eat first. Eating helps your brain work better." Jimin says matter of factly, smiling sweetly with big innocent eyes. Jimin knows Jungkook will give in, it's one of his weak points.
"Fine."
Jungkook closes his books, puts them aside before getting up to switch on a few more lights. It had gotten darker than when they sat down in the afternoon, now late evening.
He sits back down again, with two plates and places them on the table as Jimin hums happily with a mouth full of cheese pizza right from the box.
"Nothing as good as a regular cheese pizza."
Jimin is about to swallow when it starts burning. His eyes start to water as he opens his mouth, trying to fan out the burn.
"Uh I think you ate a slice from mine. I asked for extra hot sauce." Jungkook speaks looking at Jimin with wide eyes hand mid air, holding a slice as well.
"What?! Why do you want extra hot sauce?!" Jimin yells still fanning his mouth with his whole face red now, as he bounces in his place. His insides were burning, mostly his mouth. It was most definitely on fire.
Jungkook had hurried off as Jimin was screaming and came back with a bottle of water and a few ice cubes.
"Here," he says as he sits down in front of Jimin, handing him the bottle of water.
Jimin grabs it and chugs it down, it helps him calm down a little but one part was still burning, his lips.
"My lips," Jimin says as he tries to blow out some air.
"Wait," Jungkook says as he moves forward, bringing an ice cubes to place it on Jimin's lips.
The atmosphere suddenly changes. It could be because of their proximity, Jungkook's face at a distance almost as big as a slice of pizza away from Jimin, his eyebrows furrowed in worry as he slowly dabs on Jimin's lips.
Or it can be the fact that Jimin's heart was beating extremely fast, his eyes focused on Jungkook's face whose fingers would brush over Jimin's lips occasionally.
Jimin doesn't say anything, just sitting there with his hands on his lap, as Jungkook held his face with one of his own, working on Jimin's lips with the other.
"You'll feel better." Jungkook almost whispers and Jimin nods slowly, feeling the cube getting smaller and smaller.
Jimin notices Jungkook occasionally licking his lips, his eyes flickering upto Jimin's when he does so, as if expecting Jimin to say something but he doesn't.
Soon the ice cube disappears and Jungkook hesitates for a second looking into Jimin's eyes before slowly, ever so slowly tapping on Jimin's lips.
Jungkook's eyes widen and lips part as if in a trance, as if Jimin's lips were something amazing. Jimin feels his face grow hotter, this time for totally different reasons. He stays still as if the slightest movement would stop Jungkook and Jimin didn't want that. Jimin loved Jungkook's fingers on his lips, he would prefer something else but for now Jimin is willing to take whatever he gets.
Jimin parts his lips a little, bringing his tongue out ever so slightly, barely grazing the inside of his lower lip. Jungkook seems to notice this as he suddenly stops, slowly pulling his hand away as if realizing what he was doing.
Jimin almost whines at the loss, and quickly grabs Jungkook's hand bringing it to his face not breaking eye contact while doing so. Jungkook seemed breathless too when his hand touches Jimin's cheek, thumb hovering his plump lips.
"Jungkook," Jimin's voice comes out broken, as Jungkook once again touches Jimin's lower lip, this time his thumb lazily grazing over it.
Jungkook moves in closer, his eyes fixated on Jimin's lips until their faces are only a few centimetres away from touching. He finally looks up, into Jimin's eyes who lets out a small whine, fluttering his eyes close when Jungkook's lips finally meet Jimin's.
Jungkook just stays there, his lips touching Jimin's, not moving at all. Jimin lets out a frustrated noise from the back of his throat as he loops his hands around Jungkook's neck pulling him in closer.
This must've triggered some kind of a switch as Jungkook parts his lips sucking on Jimin's lower lip who lets out a moan pulling Jungkook in even more.
Jungkook's hand move down from his face, slowly touching his side until it comes to a rest on Jimin's waist squeezing it, which Jimin takes as in invitation to move and sit on Jungkook's lap, straddling him.
Jungkook cocks his head to the side switching between Jimin's lips as he bites and pulls on Jimin's lip before letting it go.
"That's hot." Jungkook speaks out in a mere whisper, hands still resting on Jimin's waist, who has his eyes closed slowly bringing out his tongue to lick his lips.
"The kiss or the sauce?" Jimin opens his eyes, just partly, looking at Jungkook through his lashes.
"Both." Jungkook says as he moves his hands up and down Jimin's side, making him shiver.
Jimin brings his hands up to take Jungkook's glasses off, the adorable boyish look long gone, instead replaced with a heavily breathing, really hot boy.
"Can we continue?" Jungkook speaks is his gruff voice, eyes fixated on Jimin's lips.
"Math, or-"
Jimin was cut off by Jungkook's lips, this time moving desperately and when Jimin returns the desperation by biting Jungkook's lips, a slow groan was let out from the back of his throat making Jimin shiver.
Jimin throws his head back as Jungkook latches his lips onto Jimin's neck, leaving open mouthed kisses on trail down to his collarbone, biting the spot lightly and Jimin lets out a loud moan, encouraging Jungkook to bite harder drawing whines from the older over and over again.
"Wait!" Jimin says as Jungkook moves a hand up to undo Jimin's button and Jungkook looks up, a hazy look in his eyes.
"Is something wrong?" Jungkook pulls his hands away settling them on Jimin's thighs instead.
"Jungkook I… I am not doing this just because we are 'in the moment' or because I'm horny, well I am, but that's not the point." Jimin rambles, hands slipping away from Jungkook's neck to draw wild patterns in the air. He was always a bit too dramatic and he says so himself.
"I like you, I have liked you for a long time. And I have wanted this for a long time as well." He sighs and lets his hands settle down, letting his head drop.
"But if you are doing this for a one time thing or something, I don't want this."
Jimin makes an attempt to get up but fails when Jungkook grips his thighs, holding him in place on his lap.
"Hyung, you must be insane to think that I don't like you. I mean how can someone not like you?" Jungkook gestures all over Jimin and the older feels warm, stomach doing somersaults. Can it calm the fuck down? Jimin is trying to confess to the love of his life here.
"S-So you like me back?"
"Of Course I do." Jungkook bites his lips for a few seconds in thought before continuing, "How about we just cuddle? That'll help your thoughts." He kisses Jimin's forehead whilst getting on his knees, pulling up Jimin along with him as he stands up.
Jimin yelps and holds onto Jungkook as he moves onto the sofa and sits them both down in a corner, before falling onto the side.
Jimin falls on his side, head resting on Jungkook's arms who laid facing Jimin, who looked a little flustered by their sudden confessions and Jungkook only looks at him a lazy smile on his face.
"What?" Jimin asks cheeks burning under Jungkook's gaze, him being suddenly conscious of himself.
"I can't believe this is happening. You are here. In my arms." Jungkook loops an arms around Jimin's waist and tucks Jimin into his body, the younger’s chin now resting on the other's head.
"It's not as unbelievable as you liking me back." Jimin's voice comes muffled as his face is buried in Jungkook's chest. He doesn't try to move away, simply inhaling Jungkook's flowery scent and smiling, his own hands clutching Jungkook's shirt.
"What's so unbelievable about that?"
"Well you are you. I mean, have you seen you?" Jimin looks up at Jungkook, his lips too close to the younger's neck to not leave a kiss.
Jungkooks lets out a chuckle and ducks his head to place a kiss on Jimin's nose. "I think the same about you hyung. You are the cutest."
Jimin giggles and buries his face into Jungkook's neck once again, sighing deeply.
Happy and content.

It's movement next to him that wakes Jimin up from his nap. He hears voices above him and is now awake enough to identify them as Jungkook's and his roommate Namjoon's.
"Wait. Is that Jimin?" Comes Namjoon's voice a little away from them. He was probably standing in the hallway, facing Jimin's back.
"Uh. Yeah." Jungkook was sitting up next to him as he speaks groggily.
Jimin wants to sit up and let them know that he was awake but curiosity takes over and he proceeds to pretend to be asleep.
"Oh my god. About fucking time."
"Shhh, Shut up hyung." Jungkook's voice seems urgent, probably trying to keep it low.
"So you finally grew the balls to tell Jimin that you have had a big fat crush on him since day one?"
"That long huh?" Jimin felt like he was invading too much so he finally decides to speak up, sitting up next to Jungkook.
"Hy-hyung, how long have you been awake?"
Jungkook is blushing. Yes, he most definitely is.
"I've been awake long enough." He replies pinching Jungkook's cheeks.
"Hyung." Jungkook whines covering his face.
"Okay I'll leave you two love birds alone now. Bye." Jimin blushes at the fact that he completely forgot that Namjoon was still in the room when he bravely flirted with Jungkook.
As soon as the door closes, Jimin turns to Jungkook, "Since the beginning?" He raises his eyebrows teasingly.
"Shut up."
Jimin groans when Jungkook leaves the couch and starts stretching, cracks heard as his bones fall back in place.
"Come back here. What are you doing getting up? It's like the middle of the night." Jimin falls back onto the comfortable sofa.
"Exactly. And we have a math exam tomorrow. So get up."
Jimin lifts his head to see Jungkook picking up the boxes of pizza, now cold and stale.
"Ugh I hate math." He groans and falls back face first onto the sofa.
"I know you do. Okay, how about this? For every right answer you find, you get a kiss."
Jimin looks up in interest to see Jungkook smirking.
"And what makes you think I want to kiss you?" Jimin drags himself down and plops himself in front of the coffee table, once again.
"I know you do." Jungkook buries his nose in the book again, his nose supporting his glasses.
Jimin just shakes his head and opens his book, hoping that after the nap his mind may be able to grasp the stupid formulas.
He was wrong.
He was soon distracted, as he found himself staring at Jungkook.
"Focus hyung." Came his stern voice.
"Kookie. I'm hungry."
Jungkook finally looks up and takes off his glasses dramatically.
"How about some pizza?"
"Oh shut up."
