It was dark, darker than usual, for some reason, despite the full moon hanging proud high in the sky, shining brightly and it felt chillier, too, Jungkook notices, because he was only wearing a thin white shirt, loosely lifting off his chest a little because of the wind. The fresh air makes his hair stand up but it feels nice to Jungkook.

It’s nearing 2 am, the streets are clear and empty, just like Jungkook wished his mind to be that. It’s been a little over four hours that he has been out now, wandering aimlessly around the streets and sometimes sitting down to drink something in a café before everything closed, walking anywhere so he doesn’t have to come home where everything is boring and mind numbing.

The air is biting his skin, ruthless and unforgiving and he is refusing absolutely to let it win and make him go home, as much as the cold is unbearable. (As he is looking back to this much later, a thicker clothing on and covered in blankets, warm and all red, mind pleasantly buzzing, and his arms full of his adorable lover, he is glad he didn’t go home that early that night.)

He is, admittedly, getting a little bit bored now that the lights are out and the sun is starting to peek out from the horizon and the only people he meet are homeless people sleeping and little stray dogs and cats that he spent too much time on his knees petting because he just can’t stay emotionless in front of such cute beings ; but as he is leaving a dark alley now (don’t ask what he was doing here), he hears some shuffling from where he came from and the curiosity took the best of him and he followed the sound, thinking at least it would be more interesting to die to unknown hands rather than die out of boredom in his too tall and empty house, staring at the ceiling.

So he follows the sound and gets to a darker place than he was in, filled with a constant buzz coming from the broken lamp and sees a figure hunched on the ground, probably their arms around their knees or something.

Jungkook thinks that maybe this is just another normal homeless person but then said person looks up and Jungkook flinches, taking a step back, a protective hand raised in front of him.

The person had red eyes, shining with what seemed to be tears.

Suddenly the noise stops and the lamp is working again, and the sight is even more unsettling, even scarier. Almost sad, even.

It’s a young looking boy, hands gripping tightly on his hair actually, eyes wide and shining with brimming tears. His eyes are red, deep burning red and his face is all tainted with blood as if someone exploded in front of him. His mouth was even less visible, covered by an unnatural amount of blood. He is looking at Jungkook in shock and his mouth open in surprise.

Fangs. The guy had fangs, and they were bloody too.

Jungkook hurries to step back, run off from there. He knew he said dying here would be a far better alternative than dying of boredom but now that a real threat is in front of him, like none other he had ever seen before, he realizes he prefers his life safe.

But then, he hears a deep voice behind him, scared and anxious, tone vibrating in the empty alley, chilling Jungkook to his bones.

“P-Please, wait !”

He was going to ignore him but the voice was desperate, scared, as if Jungkook was the threat between the two of them.

Jungkook slows down, but doesn’t stop.

“P-please ! I’m not going to hurt you !”

Jungkook wants to scoff, but he is too busy trying to calm down his racing heart.

“I didn’t ask to be like this,” the guy says, words dying in his throat as tears start to stream down his cheeks. “I didn’t want to become a monster !”

Jungkook stops walking, hearing the pure heart break in the vampire(?)’s voice, heart wrenching in empathy for him.

The vampire is standing up, as if following Jungkook but not actually doing it. He doesn’t want to scare him away more than he did.

“I just— I just wanted to eat, I didn’t want to truly kill anyone— I, I wasn’t going to kill them, just drink a little but- but they got scared and I got scared and they brought up a knife and I panicked and I killed them. I’m so sorry, I swear I didn’t mean to. Please believe me.”

Jungkook will probably regret this later but he turned around and took a better look at the guy.

The guy was probably as tall as him but he looked smaller, thinner even, and he looked as if a simple touch could topple him over. He looked sad, more than that, he looked lost. His cheeks are hollow, highlighted by the blood.

The guy looks at him, his wide red eyes staring at him, expression filled with hope.

“Do you believe me ? Do you ? My name’s Taehyung and— and I’m not supposed to be like this, I swear, I was once like you too, I was human, I swear, please believe me—”

He speaks fast, slurring on his words as if he only had a limited time to talk, as if he is scared Jungkook wouldn’t listen to him and cut him before he could finish speaking.

“Why are you telling me this ?” Jungkook asks, uncertainly.

“W-When you saw me, you got so scared, it made me sad, it broke my heart, I don’t know, I just, I just have had enough of people getting scared because of me, I swear I am inoffensive, I won’t hurt you.” Taehyung says, sadness rolling off waves from him, like rain. “Until you try to hurt me too then I’m sorry but I will have to defend myself.” he adds, quickly.

Jungkook looks at him again, closely, trying to judge if he is saying the truth but it is hard to tell anything with the poor lighting the half broken lamp provided. Jungkook says fuck it.

“Do you have anywhere to live ?” he asks, even though judging from the poor quality of his torn clothing that look like it’s been worn forever, he doesn’t.

Taehyung looks up at him once again, eyes impossibly wide, mouth hanging open. “W-What ?”

Jungkook sighs. “Come with me,” he says instead.

Taehyung looks at him with a weird look on his face, as if he is sensing a threat.

“Please,” Jungkook adds, which weirdly prompts Taehyung to move and suddenly he is next to him, hand brushing his.

Jungkook thinks that since he is probably going to die, might as well just go all out and hold Taehyung’s freezing hand, which the vampire obviously wanted to.

He just thinks it’s weird how his murderer wants to hold his hand. Well, at least he won’t be bored any time soon.

It’s also weirder how, somehow, they ended up needing each other, and falling in love.

When they finally arrived home, Taehyung looks around like a kid in a candy shop on his own (at first, Taehyung stood up in front of the door watching as Jungkook went inside, looking like a kicked puppy and Jungkook wondered why he wasn’t coming, until he remembers. Annoyed, a little, he sighs. “You can come in, Taehyung.” He won’t ever forget how happy Taehyung looked at him at that before cheerfully but still somewhat gingerly stepping inside), and Jungkook proposes him to take a shower, or even a bath if he so wished. He didn’t expect for Taehyung to react the way he did ; crying and thanking him profusely every second.

It’s weird, but he lets it slide, not wanting to upset Taehyung even more.

And then the night ends and comes the sun and then another day goes by, Jungkook sleeping all day, forgetting all about a possible threat that he had willingly invited in his own home a vampire that had just killed someone.
And when he wakes up, he notices belatedly that he wasn’t dead yet, and found Taehyung dutifully watching cartoon on his tv (Taehyung quickly turned off the tv and stood up when Jungkook found him, but Jungkook told him it was okay with a flick of his wrist), and something happens because Taehyung never leaves again after that and instead, he follows him wherever he went like a loyal puppy and Jungkook would be lying if he said he didn’t find it cute. Well, as cute as one can be after seeing them drenched in blood they spilled.

He thinks it’s weird at first, and then endearing once he realizes that Taehyung had probably imprinted on him : it wasn’t hard to guess that he was the first person Taehyung had met after turning like this, or at least the only person that was nice to him.

And when he looks at Taehyung, who is unaware of his stare, happily sucking on on his lollipops that he made Jungkook buy for him, he wonders with a weird sense of protectiveness bursting through him how anyone can do anything to him. He may be stronger than any normal human, and he may have fangs that were pointy enough to break skin at first try, but it’s easy to forget all about that when you see how delicately he handles everyday object, how softly he picks up stray animals and cradles them to his chest and pet them.

Weeks easily go by, so quickly that Jungkook doesn’t even realize anything, because Taehyung is just so easy to live with, and so quiet and so calm that unless you knew he was there, you wouldn’t think anyone was living with Jungkook.

And soon enough, a month went by and Jungkook didn’t even think of anything about it until he goes to his kitchen, suddenly hungry, and he sees the table dressed and one plate of japchae sitting on it, with a bottle of soda, and he notices Taehyung frozen on his spot, looking at him, one hand holding a glass still in the air.

“What… is this ?” is all Jungkook asks.

Taehyung pouts, unconsciously. “You don’t like it ? I prepared this for you, though. Oh, I probably should have asked you beforehand if you liked this or if you would let me use the kitchen I’m sorry—”

Jungkook quickly raises his hands in surrender to calm Taehyung down. “Hey, hey it’s alright Tae, it’s all good, of course you are allowed to use the kitchen. And I love this dish, I was just surprised, what’s the occasion ?”

“Well, uhm,” Taehyung suddenly looks shy as he rubs his neck, ashamed. “It’s been a month that you, uh, you well you helped me and sheltered me even though you had no reason to and I wanted to do something for you too, at least once, because it’s always been you doing everything and I just want to show you that I am grateful for it. Very, grateful for it.”

“Oh.”

Taehyung flushes red and it’s weird how he can do that when he is a vampire now. “I’m sorry, this is probably stupid, you didn’t even notice it was one month and it probably wasn’t as important to you as it was to me.”

This quickly wakes up Jungkook from whatever trance he was in. “Wait, no, Taehyung, this is really sweet of you ! I just very nicely surprised, is all. I’m actually glad you made this too, it looks tasty.”

Taehyung is relieved he completely sags and it’s physically showing with how his shoulders drop.

“I’m glad you think so. It was my mother’s favorite dish to prepare,” Taehyung says, words mixed with pride and sadness.

Jungkook picks up the past tense used but doesn’t comment on it by respect, and instead he sits down, hand reaching for the chopsticks on the table.

“Eat well,” says Taehyung with a soft smile, fangs hidden, before he slips out from the kitchen quietly.

Jungkook did eat well. But he would have eaten better had Taehyung stayed with him but he understands how Taehyung feels about Jungkook, or people in general, eating in front of him.

After that event, Taehyung is more courageous to use the kitchen more freely and begins preparing almost all of Jungkook’s meals even though he can’t eat them himself. And it’s so sweet, Taehyung busying himself in the kitchen, humming so happily and so innocently that it’s easy to forget that Taehyung is a monster that just killed a man not even two months ago.

They haven’t talked about that night ever since it happened ; Jungkook didn’t see why they should andhe absolutely didn’t want to make Taehyung feel like he was forced to tell him everything. But it still felt taboo and as much as Jungkook’s heart wants to believe that Taehyung was telling the truth that late night, his logical reasoning didn’t let him completely let his guards down even though if Taehyung wanted to kill him he would have done so much earlier and he wouldn’t be wasting his time feeding him.

His heart hurts, his heart hurts for Taehyung, sweet Taehyung who didn’t ask to become a monster. (His heart screams that Taehyung isn’t a monster.)

Taehyung keeps living with him, because he doesn’t mind the company but also because it isn’t costing him anything, besides some clothes and necessary stuff like toothbrush and things like that. His house was too lonely anyway before and now he doesn’t ever need to go out at night to clear his mind because there is Taehyung now. But now there’s also the underlying unspoken thing between them because Jungkook doesn’t know what Taehyung wants to do now, if he plans on staying over at his house or getting a job or anything. He doesn’t want to ask because he is afraid he will sound too rude or as if he didn’t want Taehyung in here, which is not true. Jungkook has grown used to having Taehyung here with him, used to him moving quietly around the house and scaring him every time Jungkook doesn’t notice him getting closer to him. (Jungkook always jokes about getting him a bell so Jungkook can finally hear him walking.)

Things are steady, though, Taehyung makes himself small and contents himself with the couch despite a spare room being available and also containing a bed much softer than the couch. Things are going well : Jungkook is happy with the way things are. He never would have thought, never once in his lifetime, that he would end up getting a roommate, and a vampire roommate at that, but it isn’t as bad as one would have thought.

Jungkook only forgot about one thing : how Taehyung fed himself. And, as a matter of fact, he forgot about how Taehyung didn’t feed himself.

He forgot until it’s too late and Taehyung is walking more slowly, more loudly as he doesn’t walk straight and bumps into walls and shelves, and how sometimes he sleeps only not to wake up for the whole day and Jungkook thinks nothing of it until Taehyung collapses in the middle of a discussion as Jungkook was watching tv and Taehyung was passing by.

Jungkook never got as scared as he did now his whole life. Not even when he first met Taehyung.

It was truly chilling, to see someone as supposedly powerful as Taehyung fall like that, losing consciousness.

But it was even scarier and terrifying to see someone as innocent and sweet as Taehyung, who truly didn’t deserve anything bad in the world, collapse.

It just wasn’t fair, and it was so so scary and Jungkook truly thought he himself wouldn’t make it because he just thought Taehyung was there forever to stay. But apparently not and now Jungkook feels like utter shit thinking about he didn’t think about Taehyung’s safety.

And now Taehyung collapsed and Jungkook should have fucking seen it coming but he didn’t and now Taehyung is suffering because of him and he doesn’t even know what to do to make it better. The fact that he is a vampire and changes everything doesn’t make anything better.

Jungkook panics at first, but then he carries Taehyung bridal style, so scared at how light Taehyung is but trying not to dwell on the thought for now because he has other urgent pressing matters at hand.

He tucks him in his own bed, gets a bottle of water ready for whatever might happen and drags a chair next to him to look over him, hopeless as all he can do is just watch over him and just hope for the best.

The chair is normally comfortable, but not a lot when you sit on it for an extended time but Jungkook doesn’t care about it right now ; maybe his back and neck will complain later but now he truly can’t bring himself to care.

So the night passes and no sign of Taehyung waking up, and Jungkook falls asleep.

When Jungkook wakes up, the bed is empty and in one second he is fully awake and already looking around the whole house and his heart is quick to stop beating when he finds Taehyung sleeping in the couch he had designed as his bed.

He would have thought the sight was adorable if Taehyung didn’t give him the biggest scare of his life not a few seconds ago. (Who is he kidding, even dead Jungkook would still find Taehyung adorable.)

Jungkook ponders for a few seconds if he should wake Taehyung or not and he decides to let him rest for a few more hours instead, because he probably needs it. He needs to rest too, anyway.

Long story short, after that, Jungkook is officially Taehyung’s go to when he feels hungry.

It’s weirder than anything they have done before but not impossible, they make it work.

And they get impossibly closer, too.

They fall asleep together that night, Taehyung feeling cold despite his body used to it and since Jungkook is a walking furnace, it works in their favor.

And Taehyung fits perfectly between his arm, his cold back against Jungkook’s warm chest, they fit like missing puzzle pieces but they are too shy to talk about it so a sort of contract is signed and they fall asleep together on Jungkook’s large bed that used to be pathetically empty.

Jungkook thinks that maybe that night where he met Taehyung was fate. There was a reason why he went out.

Sleeping together made some talks inevitable, like the one about Taehyung’s nightmares that plagued his sleep every so often that Jungkook noticed when Taehyung still slept on the couch but didn’t know how to bring up without sounding rude or prying into Taehyung’s private life.

It wasn’t bothering Jungkook per say but rather it made him sad to feel Taehyung turn around feverishly, obviously distraught and scared and he felt bad not doing anything.

But now, he can’t just sleep while consciously knowing about Taehyung losing sleep right next to him.

And so the next time it happens, he decides to do anything ; because anything is better than nothing.

It happens a few weeks after; because Taehyung’s nightmares seem to sporadically spread in the days, sometimes completely disappearing and sometimes happening every night.

That night, he woke up with a start, at forst disoriented, wondering why he even woke up when he was having such a nice sleep when he feels Taehyung at his side, quietly shaking, in the same position he had found him the first time, and this time his frail arms are around his knees, hugging himself.

Holding his breath, he can hear the faint quiet sobs that racks Taehyung’s body in a heartbroken manner.

Still groggy but mostly awake, Jungkook drags himself up as he supports his back on the headboard and scoots closer to Taehyung, an arm tentatively raised over Taehyung’s shaking form.

“Taehyung ?” He asks, worry sipping through his words.

Taehyung doesn’t answer and Jungkook would have thought he didn’t hear him if it wasn’t for the way Taehyung closed on himself, holding his knees tighter as he curls into a smaller ball.

“Taehyung,” Jungkook repeats, a bit more hesitantly now, as if not sure about doing this anymore, as if maybe this isn’t the best way to go about this. “Can you listen to me please ?”

Taehyung’s head imperceptibly moves ; Taehyung nods. Jungkook nods to himself too, encouraging himself. “Can I touch you, please ?” he asks again, because he needs to make sure everything he does is okay with Taehyung. Taehyung nods again. It’s small and almost impossible to notice but it’s all Jungkook needs before he draps an arm around Taehyung’s shoulder, gingerly. He brings him closer to his chest, and just a like an effervescent pill in the water dissolving, Taehyung spreads out his limbs and clings onto Jungkook’s shirt, hands closing into tiny fists. Everything about Taehyung was tiny; maybe he was actually tall, but the way he holds himself and just acts, it just gives off the feeling he is small and there’s nothing more Jungkook wants to do than just protect him, wrap him up like a baby bat and just care for him. It’s impossible, at that exact moment with Taehyung holding onto him for dear life, so desperately and so trusting, to think that he could be dangerous, life-threatening. Jungkook refuses to think Taehyung is scary anymore, when he is sure he is probably the scariest out of the two of them.

“Do you wanna talk about it, maybe ?” Jungkook offers.

Taehyung shakes his head.

“Okay, Taehyung. Whatever you want.”

Taehyung nuzzles on his chest, getting more comfortable. “Could you… maybe, just talk to me? Please?” Taehyung asks after a few seconds in complete silence and his voice is deeper than usual, and harsh, not the smooth and velvety voice he usually has.

Jungkook is a bit surprised by the demand but he complies easily enough because he doesn’t mind talking. Unconsciously, his other hand travels to the top of Taehyung’s bleached hair and starts petting him, fingers going in circles. He feels Taehyung purr under his touch. “Sure, what do you want me to talk about ?”

Taehyung only shrugs but Jungkook understands. Taehyung opens one of his fists and puts his thumb in his mouth, biting on the skin, not hard enough to break the skin despite his fangs. Jungkook coos at the sight.

“Well uh, maybe I can start telling you about my work, I mean, I don’t do much which you’ve probably already noticed since I’m always home with you but like, I can do my job from home so that’s nice. And it pays well, which I think you probably could also have guessed.” Jungkook says, and then continues talking, talking about anything that came to his mind, talking of the weather and talking about how he used to go walk during the night in the streets and how he didn’t need to do that anymore since Taehyung is with him now. He speaks until he can feel Taehyung calm down and his fist unclenched, thumb almost slipping out from his mouth. He stops talking but his hand is still petting his hair, tracing random figures now.

He doesn’t fall asleep until he is absolutely sure that Taehyung won’t wake up again. And even then, Taehyung is still in his arms and Jungkook doesn’t let go of him not even once.

Maybe Jungkook realizes only now that he doesn’t see Taehyung only as a friend.

Jungkook hides it, for the time being.

It’s common occurrence that they sleep closer than they already did now, Taehyung draped over Jungkook’s body, legs intertwined, or Jungkook just covers Taehyung whole with his body, like a human shield and it happens mostly when Taehyung is still too shaken up and scared by a recent awful nightmare.

Jungkook had never slept better in his whole life, and it’s all thanks to Taehyung. But to be honest, Taehyung isn’t a very good choice for a sleep partner, he is always so cold and he always either steal the blanket entirely or he just steals your privacy and sleeps on top of you, so mixed you can’t even recognize whose limb is whose. But Jungkook loves Taehyung, and it makes everything seem better than they are because he’s got him and he is so in love it’s becoming kind of a problem.

So Jungkook doesn’t mind Taehyung’s sleep antics as long as he knows he is with him and nightmare-free.

It’s completely accidental when Jungkook confesses his love to Taehyung. Jungkook couldn’t help himself ; not when Taehyung had a drawn a cute bunny and showed him the picture excitedly, claiming that he drew Jungkook (which is not true, mind you, Jungkook is not a cute bunny) and Jungkook just got so happy at the thought that he just blurted out, “This is so sweet, Taehyung, thank you. I love you.”

To his defense, he had originally planned to say that he loved it not him, but his brain just decided to say something else, as true as the original, if not more.

But what he thought would be the worst mistake of his entire life that would end up leaving him alone forever with Taehyung running far away from him in fear, ended up being the best one.

Because Taehyung flushed deeply at that moment, drawing still in hand, hand flying to his neck where he rubbed it in embarrassment. He shifted on his feet, suddenly shy in front of the look that Jungkook was giving him, waiting for Taehyung to say something so he can finally know if he ruined things between them or, or— He never got to finish the thought because Taehyung is already talking. “I love you too!” he exclaims, before slamming shut his mouth with his hand, eyes wide as if he just said something really bad instead of saying the cutest sentence in the world in Jungkook’s opinion though he might be heavily biased.

And to be honest, the scene must have really been awkward from an outsider’s point of view because they both couldn’t believe what the other said so they were just standing there, wanting to hug each other but none of them daring to, but to them it was even more mortifying.

“Well, I love you too,” Jungkook finally said, deciding to go big rather than go home. “This isn’t the way I would have wanted to confess but I mean this is as good as any other way, especially if you accept to become my boyfriend ?”

Jungkook is all red too, and he is smiling a little and his two front teeth are showing and maybe Taehyung was right when he drew a rabbit saying it was Jungkook.

“Me ? You want me to be your boyfriend, even though I’m… me ?” He says me as if it left a bad taste in his mouth and he probably was too scared to make Jungkook rethink his decision so he didn’t use the word monster, even if he thought it strongly.

“Yeah,” Jungkook says, a bit too quickly and he coughs to make it less awkward. “I mean, I like all of you, have been for a long time now, and I would be the happiest man in the world if you said yes.” Jungkook stops, before saying again, “wait, this is probably a bad idea, I hope you don’t feel pressured to say yes just because I house you, you know that even if you say no I won’t kick you out or anything, right ? God, this is so messy, I’m so sorry.”

“Yes!” Taehyung answers, excitedly.

What ? thinks Jungkook. He wasn’t expecting to get this far, he doesn’t know what to do now.

So he kisses Taehyung. (After asking if it was okay, of course.)

Kissing Taehyung was a new complete experience, and Jungkook isn’t saying that just because Taehyung has elongated fangs. But kissing someone you truly love is always different and better than all your other kisses and Jungkook is glad he found someone to see for himself if it was true.

Taehyung tasted sweet, probably because of the lollipops he can’t stop sucking on everyday and Jungkook loved it.

Jungkook couldn’t get enough of the kiss and Taehyung neither, and Taehyung seemed clumsy, inexperienced even but Jungkook didn’t even care. He had his whole life in front of him to teach Taehyung how to kiss well.

After they broke the kiss, Taehyung looked at Jungkook with shining eyes. “I have never felt this happy before !” he says, cheerfully and he is practically buzzing with excitement on his spot, his arms around Jungkook’s neck. Jungkook can feel him vibrating from where his hands were holding his hips, and Jungkook looked at him with a fond smile.

“I’m happy you’re happy,” Jungkook says and then Taehyung is nuzzling their noses together.

“You’re my bunny now,” Taehyung exclaims.

“And you’re my vampire, aren’t you ?” Jungkook replies, Taehyung’s happiness contagious, his cheeks hurting from smiling so much.

“Only yours, Jungkookie.” Taehyung smiles, eyes disappearing into a small crescent. Jungkook used his thumb to open Taehyung’s lips.

“Let me show your little fangs, baby,” he says, poking his lips when Taehyung doesn’t open his mouth stubbornly.

“No.” Taehyung answers, nose scrunching adorably. Then when Jungkook goes to poke his lips once again, he opens his mouth and bite on Jungkook’s finger, with a wide open mouthed grin.

Jungkook goes to yank his finger off but thought better because Taehyung has fangs, and as small as they are, they sure are pointy and capable of tearing apart skin and Jungkook would rather much have his finger intact, thank you very much.

Taehyung looks at him with a mischievous look in his eyes that he had never seen before so Jungkook decides that this is okay, despite the fangs hurting, just a little bit. But he already is used to Taehyung biting him, the bites on his neck a mark attesting of that, and honestly, this isn’t so bad.

“You sure have a thing with your mouth, don’t you, Taehyung ?” Jungkook says, with a light chuckle in his voice, as if realizing something new and incredible. And it was — Taehyung having an oral fixation not only explained a lot of things, but only made Taehyung seem much more precious than he already and Jungkook’s poor mortal human heart can’t handle all of that.

“I might,” answers Taehyung, mouth still around Jungkook’s finger, blushing sweetly and it never stops surprising Jungkook at how Taehyung can still blush.

“Aww… baby Taehyung is teething. That’s so cute.”

“Shut up !” Taehyung squeals, letting Jungkook’s finger slip from his mouth to cover his face with both his hands, and Jungkook coos further.

“You’re actually a baby ! You are my baby !” Jungkook says, still high from the happiness and his happiness must be contagious because soon Taehyung is looking at him again, happiness swimming in his eyes, a wide smile on his face.

“I am !” Taehyung giggles, his small fangs glistening in the light.

“I love your fangs, Tae, they are so adorable.”

Taehyung blushes again and closes his mouth.

“No, they’re not, go away.” Taehyung says, pouting.

“But they’re so small, Tae baby, are you really sure you are a vampire ?”

“Yes ! I’m sure ! I am a strong and scary vampire and I will drink all your blood.” Taehyung says, frowning, trying to look threatening but really, it’s been so long since Jungkook has even been threatened by him.

“Nu-uh, I don’t think you will, baby.” Jungkook replies, confident.
“B-Baby ?”

“Yeah, you’re my baby vampire.” Jungkook says, cheekily.

Taehyung doesn’t reply, he only takes Jungkook’s hand and brings it to his mouth, before playfully biting him gently. Taehyung’s nose scrunches, as if to tell “see, I am scary” but Jungkook only breaks into a fit of laughter because Taehyung is adorable and because he is still so happy.

“Oh no, you’re too cute. I have just the thing for you.” Jungkook says as his hand is being bitten mercilessly.

Taehyung only has the time to look up, confused before Jungkook closes his arms under Taehyung’s thighs and hold him up and tosses him on his shoulder like a bag of potatoes.

“Hey ! Put me down.”

Jungkook shakes his head. “I don’t want to. But if you’re so strong, then get off.”

“Not fair,” mumbles Taehyung.

“Sorry, I can’t hear you.”

Jungkook is walking towards their shared room and Taehyung is letting his arms hit Jungkook’s back idlessly. (Taehyung whined throughout the whole walk and Jungkook let him because to be honest, it wasn’t even that annoying. Just endearing.)

Jungkook throws Taehyung on the bed and then goes to his closet to take a blanket that he lays over the bed. Then, he enrolls Taehyung in it, as Taehyung is squealing and giggling.

“There. You truly are a baby vampire now.”

“I have been a vampire for almost one year now I’m no longer a baby !”

“Baby, you’re literally not even yet born compared to other vampires, so shh let me put you to sleep.”

Jungkook squishes his cheeks and Taehyung chases him with his mouth.

Jungkook really likes Taehyung’s fangs, not that he had ever seen others to compare but they are so tiny and so cute and Jungkook kind of loves it when Taehyung has to feed.

So maybe he has a biting kink, but only for Taehyung because Taehyung is the only person he would let bite him.

Jungkook noticed that more often than not, when Taehyung smiles, he unconsciously hides his teeth and it just makes him sad because Taehyung’s wide grin that shows all his teeth because it’s so pretty.

He wishes he could make Taehyung see what he saw.

Taehyung didn’t explicitly say he was insecure but it was pretty obvious and there was nothing more heartbreaking than when Taehyung laughs and then sort of just stops to hide his teeth. It’s heartbreaking to see that it can’t even let him enjoy himself whenever he feels happy.

Maybe they remind him of bad memories, so Jungkook swears to himself that he will give him more reasons to like them than he has now to hate them.

It might take time, but Jungkook has his whole life in front of him, doesn’t he ? So he has plenty of time, since he doesn’t plan on letting Taehyung go.

Taehyung is giggling under him, laugh still shy so he doesn’t let show his teeth and Jungkook gets an idea, remembering how sensitive Taehyung is in his ribs.

“Let me see your fangs, baby,” he reiterates but just like before Taehyung answers no.

“Please ?” Jungkook pleads.

Taehyung flashes his teeth for one second before closing his mouth, looking proud of himself and Jungkook just can’t help but stare in absolute fondness.

“Yeah well tried but it doesn’t work like that.”

Jungkook pokes Taehyung’s ribs first, gauging Taehyung’s reactions who did not disappoint at all.

It’s only a matter of seconds before Taehyung lost himself and is laughing loudly, his deep laugh warming Jungkook’s insides with so much love and affection and he knows in his heart that this is the one.

Jungkook never would have thought that tickling someone would be so fun but here he is, doing just that.

“This is not fair !” Taehyung says in between laughs, voice still shaking.

“Well Tae, if you’re so strong then why don’t you break free ? I’m not even holding you back.” Jungkook asks, smug.

Taehyung mumbles something but Jungkook doesn’t hear him so he asks him to repeat. Taehyung huffs obnoxiously before mumbling again, a little louder now,

“I like it here, I don’t wanna come out.”

Jungkook kisses the tip of Taehyung’s nose because he can. And also because he is in love.

“You’re the cutest baby ever.”

“Shut up. You only say that because I’m your boyfriend. You are biased.”

Jungkook kisses Taehyung’s neck, right on his scar. “My boyfriend, I like the sound of that.”

Taehyung chuckles lightly. “I love it too.”

They end up taking a nap together, Jungkook clinging around Taehyung like a koala, and Taehyung biting on Jungkook’s skin because he didn’t have access to his thumb.

Jungkook wakes up with his hand all red with little bite marks but honestly, he can’t even be mad. He can always do the same afterwards, once they’ve established things.

Taehyung is sitting in front of Jungkook who is eating, sucking on his lollipop, his little fangs on display and Jungkook can’t stop staring at him, because not only Taehyung is sitting with him even though Jungkook is eating human food, but also because how did he not notice this before ? Taehyung’s fangs look absolutely adorable when he is busy sucking on a candy. And to be honest, Jungkook never thought that an oral fixation is cute before but now he thinks he might have to change that. It’s honestly endearing how Taehyung always (almost) have something in his mouth to bite on, be it his own thumb, his lollipop or whatever object he finds, he just puts it in his mouth and bite. Even Jungkook’s ears when they fall asleep tangled and Jungkook thinks soon he won’t even need to go get his ear pierced because Taehyung can easily do that (very) happily and for free because Taehyung loves making holes everywhere.

And really, his theory that Taehyung is just a baby is only getting truer and closer to the reality because his other theory is that Taehyung has an oral fixation because he is teething, which also collides with the fact that Taehyung does have small fangs and it’s all just coming together beautifully and the conclusion to all this is that Jungkook is absolutely and utterly and beyond repair in love with Taehyung.

Maybe Jungkook is a tiny bit whipped but honestly, who wouldn’t be ? Especially when Taehyung is just a gentle soul that apologizes whenever he bumps into inanimate objects and who also pets plants and talks to them all day so they wouldn’t feel lonely by telling them about his day, what he enjoyed doing or what he didn’t enjoy.

Taehyung is the cutest and Jungkook absolutely does not take any constructive criticism. He refuses to, because he knows he is right.

Weeks pass and Jungkook discovers that not only does Taehyung love biting him, especially his index and his lobe, but he also loves being carried around and all around just being manhandled. Whenever Jungkook drags Taehyung to the right direction Taehyung would just go lax and follow him wherever he went, dragging his feet until Jungkook gives up and ends up carrying him anywhere Taehyung wants, even though Jungkook wanted to go the other way around. Anything Taehyung wants, Taehyung gets and honestly in the grand scheme of things, Jungkook is just Taehyung’s servant because well, Taehyung is a vampire, and he is just a weak human against Taehyung’s puppy eyes and little fangs. (Jungkook also goes on a self-discovery quest thanks to Taehyung and realizes he might have a thing for fangs too.)

Anyway, Jungkook realizes Taehyung has a muscle kink when he’s always biting on his muscle whenever he is shirtless or wearing a sleeveless top, just nomming him and Jungkook has to stop and wonder if his blood tastes that good or it’s just Taehyung that really loves biting.

Just another mystery for another day, now he needs to go flex his muscle while wearing a sleeveless top in front of Taehyung just because it is very important that he does so and it’s absolutely not because he knows Taehyung will stop whatever he is doing just to come and bite him, like a little puppy coming to his owner when he makes a V with his thumb and index to put his head in between and no, this isn’t absolutely adorable and no, Jungkook would absolutely not die for Taehyung, no sir no.

One day, their conversation goes something like this, with Taehyung trying to claim that he is a strong vampire and absolutely not a baby and Jungkook just shrugging as he watches anime on his computer. Taehyung bites him in retort because it’s all he knows how to do and when Jungkook giggles instead of screaming in utter pain because Taehyung obviously has very pointy and scary fangs.

“Why does it not hurt you, meanie ?” Taehyung asks, pouting as his head falls on top of Jungkook’s lap, asking secretly for pets.

“I’m used to it, baby. You bite me at least one hundred times per day and that’s just on a bad day. My skin is immune now.”

Taehyung huffs, strands of hair that fell on his eyes flying up as he puffs air.

“Not fair.”

Jungkook stops petting his hair and he only has to wait less than a second before Taehyung is whining. “I never said you had to stop. Keep petting me, while I bite your finger.”

“You are so bossy, Taehyung. How did I never notice it before ?”

“I was just playing nice at first to get you to love me so then you will do everything I ask. Also because you have nice arms.” Taehyung answer, looking proud of his evil plan as he chases Jungkook’s hand that Jungkook raised high in the air with grabby hands.

Jungkook sighs dramatically.

“I can’t believe you only love me for my muscles.” He says, sadly.

Taehyung chuckles lightly.

“Oopsie ? Does it make it better if I said I also liked you for your blood ?” Taehyung asks, tongue slipping between his lips and fangs as he dutifully tries to catch Jungkook’s hands.

“Just say I’m only your human Caprisun and go, Taehyung, you know. No need to lead me on forever. I have a human mortal heart.”

Taehyung stops his game of trying to get Jungkook’s hands to hum, before brightening up. “My human Caprisun ? I love that. It suits you.”

Jungkook is so surprised that he drops his hand, which Taehyung cradles to his chest dearly. Jungkook swears he hears Taehyung mutter “never letting you go again” but he might just be hallucinating.

That day, they lazily lay on the couch watching movies, Taehyung’s head still on Jungkook’s lap. Jungkook is eating popcorn while Taehyung is sucking on what was his probably tenth lollipop that hour only.

“I’m gonna do something,” says Taehyung at one moment, and Jungkook raises an eyebrow, looking down at Taehyung, a silent question in his eyes. “Look,” Taehyung says. “I’m gonna disappear.”

And then proceeds to put his head under Jungkook’s shirt, giggling.

“Oh no !” screams Jungkook indignantly, “where did my Tae go ? Oh no !”

Taehyung giggles again and then,

“Your abs aren’t very comfy, Jungkook. Don’t like that,” he says, before raising Jungkook’s shirt and laying his head on his lap once again. “Wouldn’t recommend that on trivago.”

“That’s not how trivago works, idiot,” Jungkook answers fondly.

“It works like that because I said so, okay ? Now give me your arm again.”

“Yeah well in that case I wouldn’t want you recommending it anyway because it’s only for you, baby.”

“Shut up, I am not a baby. I am a hundred years old vampire that has seen societies crumble down and rebuild from ashes. I am scary.”

“Whatever you say, baby, but if you wanna know my opinion, I’m a mere human but I’m sure I’m scarier and more threatening than you, than there’s that.”

“Hey !” yells Taehyung. “Not fair, it’s because of your muscles. They are so big and so scary. You should lose them.” Taehyung says, pouting.

Jungkook laughs heartily, throwing his head behind, as his fingers keep tracing circles on Taehyung’s hair.

“I thought you loved my muscles, baby. I only go to the gym for you.” Jungkook says, joking, eyes still in a crescent from laughing so much.

“Yeah well, they make me jealous. My arms are chubby.”

Jungkook leans down and pecks Taehyung’s lips.

“Your arms are chubby and they look perfect, baby. I love them.”

“Lying is a sin, common mortal. Repent to your sins now.”

Jungkook rolls his eyes, “Stop being so dramatic. I’m not even lying. I love your arms they are so soft. Mine are hard and I don’t know why you like them so much.”

Wisely, Taehyung whispers, “It’s because you’re always flexing, and every time you flex, there is more blood circulation.”

Jungkook takes a conspiratorial look to match the one on Taehyung’s face, leaning down so close their noses almost touch, and he nods. “Oh yeah, I see, mister Taehyung. Thank you for the valuable information.”

“You’re welcome, sir Jungkook.”

The sir sure does something to Jungkook, but that’s a problem for another day. Today is a lazy day.

Their tv is playing The Emperor’s new groove because Taehyung said he had never watched it before, which honestly both a tragedy and heartbreaking, and it was essential for Jungkook to initiate him to what he thought was probably the best movie ever made.

Taehyung loves it and he even forgets about Jungkook to be completely engrossed in the movie, which Jungkook didn’t like very much, but it was okay, because Jungkook can understand.

The movie ended, and Taehyung was ordering for Jungkook to put the sequel when Jungkook got a different idea.

“How about a scary movie now ?” He asks, giddy. He loves horror movies.

Taehyung looks up at him, hesitation clear on his face. He nods, though.

“Are you sure ?” Jungkook asks.

“Yeah, yeah, of course !” Taehyung replies, with a hesitant smile on his face.

But Jungkook wasn’t looking at him at that moment, instead he was looking through the Netflix’s horror movies, trying to find one that didn’t look bad.

He settles on one and brings another bowl of popcorn next to him. Taehyung takes it from his hands to hold it for him and Jungkook shots him a grateful look and a wide smile.

Taehyung gulps. He never really liked horror movies, and it’s been a long time since he last watched one and he’s sure he still is scared by them. But he can do this for Jungkook, because he seems to really like them. He just needs to find a way to not let Jungkook know about his secret.

It’s a hard thing to do when the movie only consists of jumpscares and while Taehyung can easily hide himself under Jungkook’s shirt, much to Jungkook’s amusement and happiness, (“are you hiding from the movie, Taehyung ?” “no shut up I am just nesting.”) he can’t exactly not hear anything anymore.

And when one scream is particularly loud, Taehyung jerks, throwing the whole cup of popcorn, before disappearing.

Jungkook was laughing at Taehyung’s reaction, when suddenly he stops, turning around to look for where the fuck Taehyung went, he was there only a few seconds ago what happened ?

Suddenly, he feels something poke his thighs and looking down, between popcorn pieces and Taehyung’s discarded clothes, there laid a small bat.

Wait, a small bat ? Did he see that correctly ?

Jungkook looks bewildered as the bat tries to get out from the clothes.

“Are you… Taehyung ?”
The bat blinked at him, as if to say “who else could it be” and Jungkook takes him in his hand before standing up excitedly, movie forgotten.

“I knew it ! This is the best thing, why have you never told me this before ?”

“Oh yeah, you can’t speak right now, can you ?”

“Okay okay, don’t look at me like that, I’m sorry !” Jungkook chuckles.

“You know, I’ve always wanted to get a bat ever since I saw that video of baby bats being wrapped in blankets like a burrito and now I can finally do that !”

And once again, situation eerily similar to an earlier one, Jungkook carries Taehyung to his room, before laying him on the bed and turning once again to go look for a tiny blanket.

By the time he had found one and is turning around, Taehyung has turned again into his human form.

Jungkook frowns, “Hey ! That’s not fair ! Letting me get my hopes high only for you to break them down like this… So evil. I take it back. You’re not baby.”

“No ! You take that back ! I am baby !” Taehyung says, jumping from the bed, crossing his arms.

“Too late, Taehyung you have betrayed my trust forever.” Jungkook says, regrettably.

“Wait, no, Jungkookie I’m sorry, I don’t wanna fight I just wanna nom your ear lobes.”

Jungkook sighs, as dramatically as possible, looking away. “You only like me for my soft skin anyway. Just go, Taehyung, you have done enough damage as it is.”

“No I’m sorry let me just please nom your ears.”

“Wait, stop, why does this sound like a bad roleplay ?” Jungkook asks, looking confused.

“I don’t know, I’m just trying to distract you from the fact that I can turn into a bat.” Taehyung says, before clasping shut his mouth.

“Oh yeah, why did you not tell me that before ?” Jungkook asks, a sad frown on his face.

Taehyung feels bad. “Sorry, Jungkookie, I was afraid you will find that weird, I mean, sure your boyfriend is a vampire and you’re more than okay with that but turning into a bat ? Even I don’t think it’s that cool and could be borderline weird. Because it’s weird to turn into a bat whenever I get scared, you know ? Sorry again.”

Jungkook nods, “It’s okay, Taehyung, I understand. I just hope you know now that you can tell me anything, okay ? Because I would never judge you or not like something about you. I love all of you, remember ? And for what’s it’s worth, you turning into a bat whenever you get scared is adorable.”

“Thanks, Jungkookie. You can tell me everything too, you know ?”

Jungkook smiles wide, front teeth showing, eyes disappearing as his cheeks rise. “Yeah, I know. Now go wear clothes. At least a boxer.”

—

“Jungkookie,” says Taehyung looking at Jungkook who was typing on his computer, shaking his head trying to get his hair out of his eyes.

“Yeah baby bat ?” Jungkook asks idly.

“Your hair is getting long,” Taehyung remarks, a big smile on his face. “And you know what that means ?”

“That I should cut it ?” Jungkook answers, taking a strand of his hair and looking at it, crossing his eyes.

“No !” Taehyung almost screams.

Jungkook startles, “Jesus, warn a guy when you’re about to yell, okay ? Almost had a heart attack,” he says, holding his hand to his rapidly rising and deflating chest.

“You scared me too ! When you said you should cut it ! Why don’t you think about my feelings too ?” Taehyung says, pouting. “That was very scary.”

Jungkook rolls his eyes. “What did you want to say anyway ?”

“Oh yeah I’m glad you’re asking ! Guess what just came through the mail ?”

“Wait it was you who ordered these hundred scrunchies ?!” Jungkook looks up to Taehyung, disbelief in his eyes. “I thought I cancelled the order !”

“Wait, it was you who cancelled it ?! That’s rude, Jungkookie ! I bought even more though, so yeah, the joke is on you, idiot.”

Jungkook curses. “You’re lucky I love you, baby.”

“Anyway !” Answers Taehyung loudly. “From now on, you will never need to cut your hair so you can see clearly because I come bearing solutions to your problem, and they’re not scissors !”
Taehyung drops on the table what he was hiding behind his back. The packet makes a loud noise as it hits the table.

“Scrunchies ?!”

“Yup. Now shut up while I do your hair. You can keep working on your boring stuff.”

Well, Jungkook did once say whatever Taehyung wants Taehyung gets. He has to bear the consequences of his words.

And to be honest, Jungkook would be more mad if he didn’t realize that Taehyung used his own money that he earned while doing small jobs, and to be even more honest, Jungkook is kind of mad that Taehyung didn’t use Jungkook’s credit card he gave him with no limits so he won’t spend the money he worked hard for. But anyway, Jungkook can always give him back his money through lollipops (because he knows Taehyung won’t accept money, and Taehyung doesn’t know how to physically refuse candies).

It could be worse than scrunchies, thinks Jungkook. Besides, his hair being handled by Taehyung isn’t the worst fate ever to exist, so he lets it pass. Besides, Taehyung is too cute to be told no, so there’s that.

Taehyung’s hands are soothing on his hand, and Jungkook grows to like it and he goes pliant under Taehyung’s expert fingers.

“I’m gonna make your hair into space buns, Kookie.”

“Mhm… anything you want.” Jungkook replies, too far gone to think straight.

“Hehe, you will be the prettiest, Kookie.”

“Not true, Taetae, you’re the prettiest one.”

Taehyung gently boops Jungkook’s nose. “Shut up, this is not about me right now. You can praise me all you want whenever you want but later.”

Jungkook laughs. “You’re so adorable, you know that ?”

Taehyung taps the top of Jungkook’s head, which makes him laugh again.

“Okay, okay, Jungkook you’re so adorable, you know that ?”

Taehyung kisses the top of his head as a reward, and Jungkook only blushes a little, just a tiny bit.

Jungkook leaves his hair in a space bun the whole day and would have slept with them if Taehyung didn’t tell him it would hurt his head. Sue him, Taehyung made them so he wanted to show them off because he is a supportive boyfriend.

—

Taehyung wakes up the next morning automatically turning into a bat because Jungkook screamed which both scared and woke him up.

Upon entering the room and looking at Taehyung in his bat form drowning in his human form, Jungkook looks sheepish. “Sorry baby, didn’t mean to scare you.” He says scooping him up so he doesn’t get tangled with the clothes.

“Today, we’re going out to buy banana milk because I just realized I finished the stock.” Jungkook says and since he feels the judgement coming from bat Taehyung, he adds, “yes, yes I know I bought it yesterday and there was 30 bottles but I was thirsty. Very thirsty.”

Jungkook still feels the judgement. “You know what, since you’re being so mean, you’re coming out with me, in your bat form. And you won’t be able to change unless you want people other than me to see you naked. Which I won’t condone. Unless you want to. Anyway I am rambling, let’s go right now. I want banana milk.”

“You can sleep in the pocket of my hoodie, if you want, but since you can’t talk I’m just gonna put you here, okay ?”

Taehyung pokes Jungkook’s belly with his wings and Jungkook winces before laughing. “I can’t believe this, you’re so feisty even in bat form. That’s adorable.”

This time, Taehyung bites him. Jungkook only laughs louder.

They’re in the supermarket now and Jungkook is walking down the aisle. “You know Taehyung, I have a secret. I only go to the gym so I can be strong enough to hold you and one hundred packs of banana milk up.”

People around him turn to look at him with judgement and Jungkook takes out Taehyung from his pocket. “Oh don’t worry, I’m just talking to my baby bat pet !” At that, Taehyung bites him again. “I love him very much, his name is Tae.”

People’s expressions turn to awe. Because Tae is really very cute or because they like seeing Jungkook being bitten. Either way, Jungkook agrees.

When Jungkook holds up as many bottles he can, he goes to pay, finding once again the same cashier.

“Heeeey, fancy seeing you here, Jimin. What a coincidence !” Jungkook says, awkwardly as Jimin looks at him with an unimpressed stare.

“Banana milk ran out ? Again ? It’s only been one day.”

“Listen here, I’m not gonna let you and Taehyung judge me for my healthy love for banana milk, okay ?”

Jimin raises a brow. “Who is Taehyung ?” he asks.

“I’m glad you asked ! It’s my new bat pet. He loves biting me.”

“I can see why,” Jimin answers, snickering.

“Hey ! That’s rude. Anyway do you want to see him ?”

Jimin shrugs. “Sure.”

Jungkook brings out Taehyung once again, who bites him.

“You brought him here ?! I thought you were going to show me a picture !” Jimin whisper yells when he sees Taehyung.

“Well, I needed something to distract you from the fact that I emptied the whole stock of banana milk you had here today.” Jungkook answers easily.

“I hate you but lucky for you Taehyung is so cute.”

Taehyung squeaks, his form of purring, and immediately Jimin loses interest in Jungkook and instead takes Taehyung between his hands. “Oh you’re such a baby, aren’t you ? You’re the cutest ! How old are you ?”

Jungkook rolls his eyes. “He is… one year old. And how come he doesn’t bite you ? He hates him when I call him baby and cute.”

Jimin looks at him with a sneer in his eyes. “Well maybe he just hates you,” and then his expression completely changes when he looks at Taehyung again. “Poor baby has to live with this idiot man. Don’t worry, I will take you away from him.”

“Hey ! I can still hear you.” Jungkook says, offended.

“Well shut your ears.” Jimin answers rapidly, his attention already getting back to Taehyung who seemed way too smug for a bat.

Jungkook swears he sees Taehyung poking his tongue at him. “Aww Tae you’re so cute, I love you.” He says with heart eyes.

Jimin looks at Taehyung and then at Jungkook with narrowed eyes and then finally he mutters, “Maybe you do deserve rights, but you still don’t deserve Taehyung so I’m taking him with me.”

“Shut up tiny and do your job instead of stealing my pet. Or else I will call the manager on you.”

“No you shut up or else I will show Taehyung your Karen haircut. Don’t test me.” Jimin answers, still scratching Taehyung’s head and Taehyung still squeaking like he is in bats’ heaven. Jungkook feels only a little bit jealous.

“Fine fine but you can’t take him with you. Now let me pay for my drinks and let me go.”

“No need to be so defensive, Jungkook, I was just kidding. But please do bring Taehyung with you anytime you want. I love him.”

Jungkook grumbles. “I’m sure he loves you too.”

“Is Jungkookie jealous ? Don’t worry, I love you.” Jimin says with a smile.

Taehyung bites him. Jungkook breaks into laughter. “Well done, Tae.”

When Jimin finally checks in every product much to the other customers’ relief and happiness, Tae is put once again in Jungkook’s pocket and Jungkook gets going.

And when Taehyung finally changes back into his human form, all dressed this time, he asks,

“Who was that ?”

“Jimin ?”

Taehyung hums.

“Oh just a friend that makes fun of me for my obsession with banana milk.”

Taehyung doesn’t answer.

“Oh, you were jealous baby ? Don’t worry, you’re the only one for me.”

“Me ? I’m not jealous. Anyway. I don’t want to cook for you tonight.”

Jungkook laughs, crystal clear. “Aw baby are you really mad ? Is it because I called you pet ? I can’t go around calling you boyfriend while you are in your bat form you know ?” Jungkook explains trying to keep the laughter out of his voice but failing miserably.

Taehyung hums. “Whatever you say.”

It’s easy to make up for Taehyung, all you need is to pet his hair, tell him he is the prettiest and give him a lollipop. Easy as that.

—

“Happy one year, baby !” Jungkook says, holding up a big lollipop for Taehyung. (because Taehyung can’t eat cake, lollipops were the next best thing).

Taehyung looks up from his book, eyes widening as he sees Jungkook.

“Oh my god, already ?” Taehyung says, surprise coloring his voice.

“Yeah ! It’s been one year since you came living with me and my life has been the happiest ever since. And I thank you for that. You were the one to celebrate the first month so I’m the one to celebrate the first year,” Jungkook says, a little shy as he rubs the back of his neck.

“Jungkookie you are so cute, thank you so much. Living with you has definitely been my best year too and without you I probably would have been dead by now so I can’t thank you enough. I owe you my life.”

“Let me kiss you,” Jungkook says, laughing.

Taehyung laughs too. “You are unbelievable, Jungkook. Way to ruin the mood. I can’t believe I put up with you this long.”

“Heh, you love me. And I love you too. And I’m sorry I’m not very good at all this emotional talks even though ever since I have met you, I did improve a lot but I’m still not the best so please accept this lollipop as a token of my love for you.”

—

“Taehyung ? Are you awake ?”

Taehyung groans. “I wasn’t but I am now.”

“Sorry, Tae,” Jungkook whispers.

“No it’s okay. What did you want, Kookie ?”

“It’s kinda stupid but uh… I’ve been thinking about this for the longest time and I think I’m finally ready.” Jungkook says, seriously.

Taehyung seems to sense it because he stands up, supporting his back against the headboard.

“Oh ? You’re kinda scaring me here, Kookie,” says Taehyung, chuckling nervously, concerned. “Are you okay ?”

“Oh yeah, I’m feeling fantastic actually, and it’s not ironic. I’m just really excited.”

Taehyung looks at the alarm.

“Baby, it’s 3 am, have you not slept ?” Taehyung says, sad pout on his face.

“Oops ?” Replies Jungkook. “Sorry I didn’t know it was that late or else I wouldn’t have woken you up.”

“It’s okay, Jungkook. Tell me, please.” Taehyung says.

“Oh. Yeah of course. I was just thinking about how I really would want to spend my eternity with you. And I’m sure I won’t regret that, not now not ever because you are the one for me and I love you so much and I wouldn’t want you to live alone when I die anyway, not that you will be forever alone but I just want to be with you until the end of time, so yeah, I want to spend my life with you so I’m asking you this, will you give me the bite ?”

Taehyung is rendered speechless, and the moonlight is illuminating his tears and he looks so pretty, so sweet that Jungkook knows that he has done the good call.

Taehyung is such a beautiful person, in and out, always so nice and sweet, always generous and always understanding. He has put up with Jungkook and he has taught him what was true love and he taught him how to love himself, how to never feel lonely ever again.

Jungkook didn’t have a home before but then he met Taehyung and Taehyung became his home.

Jungkook never wants to leave his home.

And Jungkook had seen how Taehyung is still struggling with wounds that ran deeper than the ocean and he doesn’t want to leave earth before he had helped soothe them and that’s why Jungkook wants to spend eternity with Taehyung. He just wants to help him the way Taehyung had unconsciously helped him, and he also wanted to be able to love and cherish Taehyung forever because that’s what he deserves.

Taehyung is crying now, chest turned to completely face Jungkook.

“A-Are you sure you want this ? Are you sure you want to turn vampire just for me ? It’s not as great as you might think it is, you know ? I don’t want to make you bear this burden, Jungkook, please. Please tell me this is not a joke, and that you’ve really thought about this. I’m not doubting you but… this is a lot to take in, you know ?” Taehyung says, sobbing because he is just so full of love and affection for Jungkook and he is just so moved. He honestly didn’t think Jungkook loved him so much he would be ready to give up on his mortality, the one thing that made him human.

“Taehyung, I am sure that this is what I want. I have been thinking about this ever since I confessed to you, but not as much as I have been these past days. There are still so many things I want to do with you ; for you, and I think it would be better if we had our whole eternity in front of us, don’t you think, my love ?” Jungkook answers, caressing from the tip of his fingers Taehyung’s soft and wet cheek.

“Don’t cry for me, Taehyungie, I would die for you, and you know that. It’s only logical that I would live for you. Come here.”

Taehyung moves and suddenly Jungkook is holding him up and placing him on his lap, Taehyung’s legs closing around his waist. Their foreheads are touching and Taehyung is looking at Jungkook with all the love he can muster.

“Kiss me now, Jungkook,” Taehyung demands, needily as he cradles Jungkook’s face between his hands with as much affection as he can.

“Does that mean it’s a yes ?” Jungkook asks, hopeful.

“Of course it is, my love. I love you so much. I wish I could tell you how much I truly love you.” Taehyung says, voice choking because of his sobs.

“Just kiss me, because I already know how much, darling, because I love you just the same, if not more,” Jungkook says as they close the distance and their lips meet together, Jungkook getting a taste of Taehyung’s sweet fangs that he loves so much.
