“Do you ever wonder what you look like?”
“What?” Yoongi lifts his head up from where he was laying and looks at his best friend with a confused expression.
Taehyung shrugs. “I think about it a lot.”
“Seems like a waste of time to me, to be honest.” Yoongi replies, rolling his neck until it lets out a crack.
Taehyung grimaces. “I hate when you do this. The sound of cracking bones is so ….” He shivers in discomfort.
Yoongi laughs at his expression and shakes his head. “You’re adorable,” He teases, causing Taehyung to stick out his tongue in response.
“Back to what I was saying,” Taehyung brings them back to their first topic. “Do you really don’t think about what you look like to others?”
“Hm, maybe once every two hundred months?” Yoongi shrugs.
“ Yoooooongi, ” Taehyung whines, causing Yoongi to smirk secretly. He’s so cute. “We are born vampires, we both have no idea what we look like.”
As cute and childish Taehyung’s question was, it is also very true.
Since both Yoongi and Taehyung are purebred vampires, they have never been able to see their own reflection.
There is a small pout on Taehyung’s face and Yoongi stops the urge to snort at how adorable he looks — definitely not like a hundred-something year old vampire.
Yoongi decides to indulge him. Both of them are laying down on the floor of Yoongi’s living room, ignoring the perfectly capable couches some distance away from them.
Yoongi turns to face Taehyung and finds him already looking at him.
Yoongi watches as Taehyung gets a sheepish smile on his face, his eyes moving away as if he wasn’t just staring at him some seconds ago. Cute. Cute. Cute.
“You’re pretty.” Yoongi says simply and enjoys the reaction he gets in return.
Taehyung’s eyes quickly snap towards him and Yoongi’s sure if Taehyung could blush, he would be most definitely blushing right now.
“Huh?” Taehyung asks, speechless.
Yoongi shrugs and goes back to laying on his back instead of his side, looking up at the ceiling.
“You’re a good looking person — vampire, creature? — whatever you wanna call it.” Yoongi starts and closes his eyes as he images Taehyung’s face in his mind. “You have big eyes — one is monolid and the other is double eyelid — and you have a mole on the bottom of your left eye.”
Yoongi hums softly as he continues. “Now that I’m mentioning it, you have lots of moles on your face. There’s one by your eye, your nose and on your bottom lip. You have nice eyebrows too, they are very …. manly. They honestly remind me of tannie’s eyebrows,” Yoongi chuckles, referring to Taehyung’s pet dog.
Taehyung stayed quiet during his rant and now, he feels nervous. Did he speak way too much that he made Taehyung uncomfortable?
“You make me — ” Taehyung clears his throat as his voice slightly cracks. “You make me sound pretty.”
Yoongi takes a sharp breath and turns to face Taehyung once again. He takes in all the features he just described and feels like there is a heartbeat in his chest.
“Yoongi,” Taehyung says before He can think of something to reply to the younger’s comment. “Will you let me draw you?”
Yoongi feels awestruck as he looks at Taehyung’s flustered expression. Eyes open wide in wonder, his bottom lip tucked between his teeth — Yoongi can almost see the blush sitting pretty on his cheeks too.
Yoongi thinks of thousands of things to say — telling Taehyung how he should be the one that should be drawn with utter delicacy and the finest colors to exist, telling him how he wants to pull him closer and kiss him right now.
Yoongi thinks of thousands of things to say but instead, he just simply smiles and nods softly.
“Of course, Taehyungie.”
It’s always yes. Yoongi is never able to say no to him.
“Just make me super handsome and charming.” He says jokingly to hide the fact how soft he is for the younger.
Taehyung grins happily and brings his body closer to Yoongi’s, almost touching but not quite yet. Yoongi’s fingers twitch where they lay on his stomach with the urge to bring Taehyung even more closer.
“Of course, Yoon. I wouldn’t even have to try, you are already very handsome and charming.” Taehyung says back, winking cheekily at him.
“You punk, are you messing with me?” Yoongi scolds playfully and Taehyung just giggles uncontrollably in reply.
“Never!” Taehyung exclaims. “I know you said I’m pretty but I truly think you’re the prettiest.”
“Yeah, it’s because you haven’t seen yourself.” Yoongi retorts back quickly, never good with compliments.
“I’ve lived for almost as long as you, I’ve seen so many humans, vampires, other creatures in my life but you are the most beautiful.” Taehyung says, his voice filled with honesty, holding no place for Yoongi to say another joke and escape out.
“You’re unbelievable.” Yoongi says breathlessly.
“You know you kind of remind me of a cat sometimes,” Taehyung continues. “A tiny grumpy but very soft on the inside cat.”
Yoongi grumbles. “I’m not soft.”
Taehyung ignores that comment and continues staring at Yoongi with a warm gaze.
“Yoongi,” Taehyung starts. “You always say yes to whatever I want or insist, don’t you?”
Yoongi hums in agreement.
“What if I ask you for something? Will you say yes and give it to me as well?” Taehyung asks, a hesitant but determined look in his eyes.
“Go on,” Yoongi encourages.
“Kiss me.” Taehyung whispers softly.
Yoongi feels like his whole existence was created just so he could experience this very moment.
Yoongi doesn’t say anything and replies by hooking his arm on Taehyung’s waist and finally bringing him closer so their bodies can touch. His hand carefully cups Taehyung’s cheeks as he rubs his thumb slowly over soft skin. He looks up at Taehyung’s eyes one more time and sees nothing but affection and agreement in them.
Yoongi gently places his lips on top of Taehyung’s and feels his eyes flutter shut. They stay still for a while, savoring the moment when Taehyung hesitantly starts moving his lips against Yoongi’s, his fist tightly holding on Yoongi’s t-shirt.
All of Yoongi’s senses are filled with Taehyung, Taehyung, Taehyung. The lingering smell of his aftershave, his hands on him, his soft lips moving against him. He feels the hint of pain when Taehyung nibbles down on his bottom lip, his fangs clashing against his own, making a soft ‘clink’ which makes them disconnect their lips.
“You know, coffee is not that bad when I’m tasting it from your lips.” Taehyung teases.
“I’ll bite you.” Yoongi threatens him playfully.
Taehyung rolls his eyes. “You’re saying this like I will mind it.”
Yoongi looks at him with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief while Taehyung just smirks and eyes his fangs.
“You — ” Yoongi laughs, speechless.
Taehyung shoots him a cheeky wink and pulls Yoongi closer to cuddle him.
“Why am I the little spoon?” Yoongi grumbles, as his face is tucked in Taehyung’s neck.
Taehyung kisses the top of his head. “You’re just small and tiny.”
“I can literally kill you.” Empty threats are Yoongi’s specialty.
“I know,” Taehyung hums. “You won’t kill your boyfriend, though.”
“Oh,” Yoongi says teasingly. “You’re my boyfriend now?”
Taehyung looks down at him with a playful smile. “What? Did you think I’d just kiss anyone? Hm, Yoongi?”
Yoongi bites down on his neck softly, not sinking his fangs in yet but just enough to warn him. “Behave.” He says. “I didn’t know I had a brat for a boyfriend.”
“Hm,” Taehyung just hugs him closer. “You like me, either way.”
Yoongi nuzzles into Taehyung’s neck as he hums in agreement.
Like feels way too small of a word to describe his feelings for Taehyung but it will work for now.
They have forever with each other to confess their love, anyway.
