Chapter Text
Hoseok was well dressed for the evening as it was a special occasion. It was Christmas Day and in fact the day that Hogwarts would host the Yule Ball in celebration with the Triwizard Tournament.
It wasn’t his first time attending one since the first time was when he was a student there and now he was a chaperone. Being a professor, he was required to be there to watch over the students. It made him happy though to see all the excitement on his students' faces a few days prior when he was teaching class.
Despite just being a chaperone, Hoseok made sure to dress his bed. He chose a nice all white suit and a cloak that draped his shoulders elegantly. His hair was slicked back and styled. He remembered being a nervous wreck when he went as a kid. It makes Hoseok laugh at how silly it was to make so much of a fuss over it especially when he ended up going with friends.
Hoseok entered the dining hall that was now transformed into a beautiful ballroom. He noticed a few of the professors were already there and waved at the Herbology professor as soon as he saw him.
“Namjoon!” Hoseok almost shouted to get his attention as he walked over to him. Namjoon was dressed in a deep emerald green suit which went well with his soft blonde hair.The suit jacket had embroidered plants on it which Hoseok thought just screamed Namjoon. “You look good,” he teased as he poked his chest.
“Hoseok I told you to stop touching my chest,” the younger exclaimed while moving away so the other couldn’t make another attack. Namjoon hated when Hoseok would tease him about his chocolate chip nipples. He crossed his arms over his chest to deny the older access. “You’re a bad influence on the students,” he lectured.
“Oh please. No students are here yet since we had to be here early.” Hoseok waved off. “Plus it helps my mental health. You know I’m weak for muscles,” he chuckled and Namjoon shook his head.
Hoseok, Namjoon and a few other professors helped make sure everything was ready and spotless before students started to file in. The two watched on the side of the dining hall as they filed in. There were many students in beautiful dresses that hit the floor and others well presented in suits. A thought came to his mind and he turned to Namjoon.
“Where’s Jungkook? I thought he had to chaperone as well?” Hoseok said as he looked through the crowds of people. The young professor had just started teaching a year before and Hoseok even knew him when he was a shy little Gryffindor when they were both students. He often looked after Jungkook and when the younger graduated Hoseok helped him get a job at Hogwarts. Hoseok knew that Jungkook was skilled in Astronomy and there was an opening for since the professor before had wanted to retire.
“Uh..not sure,” Namjoon shrugged and looked away from Hoseok as if he was hiding something. “Maybe he got carried away in dressing up?” The younger of the two guessed.
“My Jungkookie? Dressing up?” Hoseok chuckled and shook his head. “He always dresses for comfort and other professors always comment how he needs to present himself better for class. Which I don’t really understand when his class is taught mostly at night so they can observe the stars...” Hoseok explained and was caught off as he looked at the entrance of the dining hall.
There was Jungkook dressed in a very flowy hot pink jacket and pants which was very different from what wizards normally wore. Jungkook was muggle born after all so maybe that’s why it stood out so much. His shirt was a mix of animal print and was only buttoned up by three to four buttons which revealed lots of chest. Hoseok didn’t know how to handle it. He could feel his cheeks and ears burning as Jungkook made eye contact with him. Hoseok couldn’t even hold eye contact and part of him felt embarrassed staring straight at the younger’s chest. He felt like he was going to explode.
“Holy shit,” Hoseok muttered, his eyes wide as he turned to Namjoon who had a small smirk on his face. The drink he was holding threatened to spill because his hands were shaking.
“Well you two have fun. I gotta go make sure no students are eating each other’s faces outside the dining hall. Have fun!” Namjoon rushed and gave Hoseok a wink.
“No, don't leave me. I’m going to die on my own,” he panicked as Jungkook got closer. Namjoon was out of sight after he went through the crowd of students. “Oh my god he owes me.” Hoseok downed his drink and one go and set it on a tray that a nearby elf was holding.
Hoseok tried to find air to breath as Jungkook stood in front of him. Seeing the younger up close was even more deadly. He was sure he looked like a fish out of water when staring at Jungkook.
“Merry Christmas, Hyung. You look amazing,” Jungkook said gracefully with a smile. “Sorry I couldn’t make it to help and set up. I um… couldn’t figure out what to wear. Hope I don’t look too weird.” The younger scratched the back of his neck.
“Oh no! It’s completely fine. Honestly think we had more people than we needed for setting up,” Hoseok reassured. “You look really pretty,” the older blushes and has a hard time looking Jungkook in the eye.
Jungkook’s eyes brightened like stars in the sky and his ears reddened. “You look pretty too, hyung. Do you want to… dance?”
