Chapter Text
Jeongguk glances over the crowd with dark eyes, looking for a certain pink-haired friend.
Well, they mess around a lot. Friends with benefits, he supposes.
Although, he really does enjoy Jimin’s company. And his voice, and the way his eyes crinkle when he smiles, and the-
Yeah, okay. He has a crush on Jimin.
It isn’t much of a secret. Jimin has a nest. A friendly, open nest. And he’s pretty sure he likes him, too.
So, he’s looking for him.
And then his eyes snag on the familiar sight of that pale pink hair, and he heads for him.
Jimin catches his eyes and grins, rushes over. Plops a kiss onto Jeongguk’s nose.
“Your dance partner looks a little bummed.” He says, peering over Jimin's shoulder.
Jimin glances back at the guy and then meets his eyes and shrugs, a smile hidden within them.
“Hi, Jeonggukkie.”
“Hi, Jiminie.”
Jimin giggles and grabs his hands, draping them over his waist and wrapping his own around Jeongguk’s neck, leaning forward to kiss him.
“It’s good to see you.”
“It’s good to see you too, baby. You look good.” Jimin coos, brushing their noses together as he looked down at Jeongguk’s outfit. “Somebody came here to get laid, hm?”
“I was hoping you’d do the honor.” Jeongguk breathes, a smile tracing his lips.
“Of laying you?” Jimin giggles again, cackles when Jeongguk smacks his arm.
“I was hoping, actually, that we could try something a little bit different?” Jeongguk says, shifting.
“Different?” Jimin says, confusion making his brow furrow in a way that really shouldn’t be so attractive. “What kind of different?”
“Well, usually, you...” Jeongguk says, voice hesitant.
Immediately, Jimin understands, lights up. “Really?? You’d be okay with that??”
“I wanna try.” He says. “I don’t normally do it because it makes me feel vulnerable. But, I really do trust you.”
“Really?”
Jeongguk nods. “Yeah, of course.”
“Thank you, baby. Thank you.” Jimin smiles, kissing him chastely. “Hyung would really like that.”
Jeongguk has to hold back a snort.
Jimin thinking that Jeongguk is his dongsaeng is the cutest thing ever, and he’s not going to correct him. He likes the coddling and babying that comes along with it.
Even Jimin’s nest mates think he’s younger than them.
Later, Jeongguk is laying in Jimin’s bed, curled up next to him, content to just play with Jimin's fingers, half asleep.
“You really like my rings, hm?” Jimin asks, voice gentle, and Jeongguk nods, twirling one and folding their fingers together before moving his head up, pressing a kiss to the underside of Jimin’s chin. “Thought so.”
“So pretty.” Jeongguk coos weakly, kissing the back of his fingers and then releasing him, shifting to throw a leg over Jimin's waist, face pressed into his shoulder.
He falls asleep there, but not before Jimin whispers a soft, “Sweet dreams,” and kisses his forehead.
When he wakes up, it’s because Jimin is squirming.
“I’m sorry, I gotta pee.” Jimin says, voice hushed so that he doesn’t wake Jeongguk up further. He whines sleepily, but rolls away, letting Jimin up to get to the bathroom.
He’s mostly asleep when Jimin comes back in, and he startles, eyelids flickering open, eyes bright yellow.
“Jeongguk-ah, baby, your eyes.” Jimin says softly, and Jeongguk grumbles, yanking on Jimin’s fingers to pull him back into the bed. “Why do you hide them? I think they’re gorgeous.”
“Mh, thank you.” He hums. “But it’s just easier. No one asks questions about my species if there are none to ask.”
Jimin hums back, allowing them to relax for a little longer, until Taehyung bursts in the door, startling Jeongguk once more.
“Why did no one tell me Jeonggukkie was here??” He whines, and crawls into bed, laying his own body over Jeongguk’s. He peers at his face, running a finger over Jeongguk’s nose. “Hi, baby.”
“Hi.” Jeongguk murmurs back.
“Did you have fun last night?”
Jeongguk nods, cheeks flushing. “Jiminie takes good care of me.”
“Mhm.” Taehyung runs a hand through Jeongguk’s hair. “You’re so pretty, Jeonggukie.”
He squirms under him, face bright red.
Taehyung giggles and rolls, so that he’s half on Jimin and half on Jeongguk, and plops a kiss onto Jimin's cheek.
“Jinnie-Hyung told me to come get you two up for breakfast. No one even told me you were here.” he digs a finger into Jeongguk’s side, and then attacks Jimin with kisses when he grumbles.
“Tae, stop it. Brat.”
“But I looooove you, Jiminie.”
“I loooove you, too, but you’re crushing me.”
Taehyung poofs tiny, plopping onto his chest with his arms crossed. Jimin giggles and coos at him, and he stops pouting, fluttering around them and playing in their hair.
He’s fully nested in Jeongguk’s ratty hair by the time they get downstairs, and Jeongguk slips into the empty seat next to Jimin, where he usually sits.
“Good morning, babies.” Seokjin says with a smile, and once again, Jeongguk is struck by how attractive Seokjin is.
“You’re so pretty, it’s not even funny.” He whines, and Seokjin’s ears turn red.
“Shut up, brat.” He says, but comes over to peck Jeongguk on the lips anyway, throwing eggs onto his plate.
“You know it’s true, Hyung.” Hoseok says, sitting down.
Namjoon comes stumbling downstairs, and Jeongguk doesn’t hold back a coo. He’s absolutely whipped for the phoenix, and he looks absolutely adorable when he wakes up.
Namjoon blushes, sits down. Fixes his hair.
And then Yoongi comes in, and Jeongguk goes stiff before relaxing, taking a bite of his food.
Jeongguk had taken a long time to be this open with vampires. Centuries. He was positively terrified of them, and it had shown for so long.
He’s generally wary still, but he doesn’t mind Yoongi’s presence. He seems sweet. Jeongguk still gets chills whenever he comes into the room, though.
He likes Jimin's nest. A lot. They’re all cute and endearing and maybe he can get over the whole vampire thing soon.
He hopes.
