Work Text:
He's running late to class again. He really just had to cram for this next in class history paper. He would've been done by 11 if it hadn't been for a call from a certain Min Yoongi- his lab partner in biology- asking him about how their project for the science fair is going. He fell asleep late and slept in, similar to everyone in this school.
He gets to the door, peeking in the small circular window to see Yoongi taking notes- presumably. He could be doodling, like he usually does.
He opens it slowly, knocking lightly on the door to capture his teacher's attention. As soon as Mrs. Kwon sees him she nods, directing the brunet to his desk shared with the mint haired boy.
"Hey. Why are you late?" Yoongi whispers to him as he sits down the creaky swivel chair.
"Slept in." The shorter hums, nodding slightly before going back to his doodle of a grand piano.
Hoseok's fingers rake through his spiked hair. He's just waiting for this school day to be over.

A few weeks later, the brunet wakes up, stumbling to the bathroom and staring at his reflection in the mirror. After brushing his teeth he reaches for his hair gel and a patch of small red dots catches his attention.
Dammit. He lifts up his bangs, staring at his forehead. The longer he stares at his face demons, the worse they get. They seem to be taunting him, saying 'Ha! You don't get to have a nice face anymore! This is what you get for avoiding conversations with Yoongi!'.
Today, he decides to go to school with his bangs down. Hopefully nobody notices.

He's been successful in nobody figuring him out until two days later when he finally has a class with his mint haired hyung.
"Hey! Yoongi-hyung!" He catches the other boy just before their first period class.
"Hoseokkie? Why is your hair down today?"
'Oh shit.' He thinks.
"Um- it's nothing."
"Are you sick, Hobi?"
The shorter moves his arm up towards the taller's forehead, moving his hair but spotting the red dots that weren't there before.
When Yoongi's fingers parts the brown hair more, he chuckles and smiles at Hoseok's terrified look.
"Silly, these are just pimples. It's not the end of the world." His hand is now caressing the other's soft cheek, moving his thumb along his jaw.
At the sudden affection, the younger is blushing a dark pink, leaning into the warm hand on his cheek.
"Let me tell you something. I can fix your little problem, just follow me okay." And then Yoongi reaches his hand out behind him and Hoseok takes it.

Yoongi leads them to the school bathroom, motioning for Hoseok to sit on the counter, getting a small bag out of his backpack.
Standing in between his legs Yoongi uses a clip to get Hoseok's bangs out of his face, getting a stick of beige makeup out of his bag. He swatches the product onto the other's hand, eyes widening a bit.
"Geez, my contour shade is your skin tone. Your skin is lovely though, so no worries."
He puts some of the makeup onto the brush and glides it onto the red area, putting some clear powder on it after.
He gets a small black bottle out his bag next, smoothing product over his fingers and combing through the brown hair infront of him.
A few seconds later Yoongi tells Hoseok to turn around and look in the mirror.
His hair is up just right, the small forehead bumps barely noticeable.
"Hold on, I have an idea."
And then Yoongi gets more of the hair gel and then creates two spikes on either side of the other's head, standing up on his tip toes because it's hard to reach otherwise.
Now when Hoseok looks in the mirror, it looks like two cat ears are portruding out of his head. Cute.
"Wow! Hyung you did a great job!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, I like the cat ears." The cat ears are now paired with a blush, not from any makeup.
"Well, anything for Hoseokkie." And then he leans in and plants a quick kiss on the other's tomato red cheek.

"Hobi! Let's walk to school together!" Yoongi is running up behind Hoseok, gripping his arm. They walk in comfortable silence for a bit.
He sees that his hair is covering his forehead again.
"Hoseok-ah, put your hair up again."
"No hyung. People will laugh at my spots."
"Everyone gets them Hobi, it's life. Please put your hair up again. For me?"
"No hyung. People will see my pimples."
"But Hobi, you're very handsome even if you have pimples or not." Hoseok blushes as Yoongi talks.
"But hyung, I look like a horse."
"Well Seokseok. If you look like a horse, than I look like a turtle." And then Yoongi kisses his cheek again, and starts walking towards the school gates quickly.
Before Yoongi could get very far, Hoseok grabs his elbow, pulling him closer.
"Well hyung, you're a very handsome turtle." And then Hoseok leans into the shorter's mouth, capturing his bottom lip. He is encouraged when the other kisses him back, their moment being interrupted by the loud school bell. They part ways after sending each other sweet smiles.

In the weeks to come, their walks to school together include Hoseok's forehead on full display, whether there are pimples there or not with their hands in between them, swinging and intertwined.
