Work Text:
Taehyung woke up with a start when he heard the siren from the fire alarm fill their apartment.
His first thought was to reach across the bed where his boyfriend was supposed to be. But he was not there. Heart pounding, panic rising, he hurriedly got off the bed to search for him. He feels as though his heart has taken a life of its own and was about to leap out of his throat.
Oh my God, where is he?
His self-preservation should probably kick in. His apartment is on fire- that was the fire alarm, right? Oh heavens, his apartment is on fire! But he needed to find Jungkook first. Him first. Everything else was secondary.
"Jungkook-ah!" he called out as he emerged from their room. The smoke was obstructing his view. Everything was hazy. His eyes started to burn and tears threatened to spill. There was so much smoke, but thankfully, he can still breathe just fine.
"Tae! Over here!" he heard Jungkook from the other side.
Was he in the kitchen? Did the fire start there?
Taehyung's panic rose to a whole new level. He could practically hear his heart pounding in his ear, beating in his chest like a caged bird desperate to get out.
He crossed the short distance from their room to the living room and onto the kitchen, bumping into furniture in his haste to reach Jungkook faster.
Into the fire, he thought dramatically.
"Baby, where are you? Are you… okay?" he trailed off, blinking away the tears and making sure he was seeing things right.
The smoke cleared slowly and the siren finally stopped blaring.
Then he saw Jungkook standing behind the stove, smiling nervously at him.
Taehyung felt equal parts relief and annoyance. In his panic, he forgot that his boyfriend was a shapeshifter. And not just any shapeshifter. Jungkook was a dragon.
"Jungkook-ah what were you doing?" Tae finally said, trying to keep the edge out of his voice.
Jungkook looked at him with puppy eyes and said while pouting, "I tried to make you eggs for breakfast…"
"and?" Tae urged, eyebrow raised and arms crossed, as he leaned against the doorframe.
Jungkook gulped. He knew he was in trouble. But by draconic fire, Tae looks hot when he's annoyed. He shook his head to clear his thoughts.
"and our stove is broken!" he continued accusingly. "There was no blue fire, so I just…breathed fire into it." Jungkook said in a much quieter tone.
Tae took a deep breath and massaged his temple, closing his eyes.
He can feel a headache coming.
His friends said dating a shapeshifter is fun. Maybe so, if your boyfriend shifts into a dog. Or a cat. Or a bunny. Jungkook would've been a cute bunny, he thought.
But no, Taehyung just has to fall in love with a mother fucking dragon.
"Tae, my love, I'm sorry. Please say something. You're scaring me." Jungkook pleaded when Taehyung was silent for far too long.
Taehyung opened his eyes and all he could see was Jungkook's adorable face and his half-naked body.
He groaned. He didn't know whether he wanted to throw the nearest pot at him or throw himself at him. The latter. Definitely the latter.
"Baby, I appreciate the thought." Taehyung slowly made his way to Jungkook. He took his boyfriend's hand and continued, "but we have an induction stove. It's not supposed to have the blue fire."
"Oh."
Taehyung gave him a soft smile and nodded.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to surprise you and make you happy."
"Oh baby, you do make me happy even without breakfast in bed," Tae said, trailing his fingers down Jungkook's tattooed arm.
"You probably hate me being a dragon," Jungkook said turning his head away from him.
Tae's head whipped towards Jungkook's, his brow furrowed, "Huh? What makes you say that?"
"Because I always mess things up. I'm so clumsy and I don't know how this human thing works."
Tae waited for his boyfriend to finish, "…plus I have this tail that keeps popping out whenever I feel excited, or angry, or upset."
Taehyung smiled. He can't believe how endeared he is with this shapeshifter.
Even after two years of dating, he still can't believe that he's dating a dragon. He has this strong, powerful, courageous, sweet dragon head over tails in love with him. Jungkook loves him so much that he wanted to learn how to cook breakfast.
His heart suddenly swelled with so much love and adoration that he couldn't help but reach out, turn Jungkook's head towards his, and kiss him.
It was a searing kiss. He could feel the rumble in Jungkook's throat and the heat in his tongue as it slides across his lips. He was smoke and fire combined and he wanted more.
Tae wrapped his arms around Jungkook's neck, his fingers gripping the other's hair. He wanted to melt into him. To let him know that he was everything Taehyung wanted and so much more.
"Tae" Jungkook moaned his name. Reluctantly, Taehyung peeled himself off Jungkook, while the other followed his lips, eyes still closed. When Jungkook didn't find Tae's lips on him again, he pouted.
"Why'd you stop?"
Tae tried to stop the boxy smile from spreading across his face and completely failing. "I love you." He said. "I love you and your fire. I love how you always try. I love your strength and your tattooed arm."
Jungkook stared at him, not knowing what to say so Tae continued, "I will gladly burn for you if you ask me to."
"Taehyungie… I love you so much you have no idea…" Jungkook was so overcome with emotions and passion that words failed him. All he could do was lean towards Tae, hoping for another kiss when he saw Taehyung smiling mischievously, "What?" Jungkook asked, laughter dancing in his eyes.
"Did I mention that I absolutely love your tail?" Taehyung said, grinning. Jungkook laughed, heartily. His laughter echoed across their apartment, his body shaking both him and Taehyung.
Taehyung was absolutely, irrevocably in love.
"Oh, Tae…" Jungkook said when his laughter subsided, encircling his arms around Taehyung, He leaned towards his human, and whispered in his ear, "What else do you love about my tail, hmm?"
Jungkook's husky, bedroom voice sent shivers down Taehyung's spine. Delicious anticipation was building in his core as he felt his boyfriend's tail snake between his legs and around his waist.
