Chapter Text
Taehyung wakes up grumply. It was the middle of the night and he had just been sleeping. Why on earth did he have to get cravings now? He wasn't getting enough sleep as it was. No use fighting it though, might as well make the most of it.
"Hey Jungkookie." He says as he rolls over.
"Hm?"
"I'm really craving some strawberries right now."
".....Really?" Jungkook turns to look at the clock.
"Ya..."
"It's 3am in the morn-"
"But..But me, and the babies really want some strawberries!" He says with a pout.
Jungkook lets out a long loud grunt as he sits up, and then looks down at the beautiful boy laying next to him and lifts his eyebrow. "Is there anything else the "babies" are craving?" Knowing all too well that his husband likes taking advantage of his unearthly timed cravings while being pregnant.
"Uhmm....Chocolate Ice cream!" Taehyung says while sending him his boxy smile. Jungkook just rolls his eyes.
"Ok, ok, coming right up." He says as gets up from the bed. He walks to the door, but half way down the hall he hears Taehyung shout, "Oh! And some Mango too please!" He sighs loud enough for Taehyung to hear, because he can hear him giggling.
Jungkook has always had a weak spot when it evolved his beloved Husband Taehyung. Even long before he got pregnant (which has just made it even harder for him to deny taehyung even more). As he walks down the stairs, he starts to remember when he first met Taehyung back during their 2nd year of high school.
***7years ago***
It was already half way through the semester of the school year, when the teacher announced that a new student would be joining the class.
Jungkook was sitting at the very back of the classroom, looking outside the window, watching as the flower blossoms fell during the windy cold spring day. While his classmates were all chattering away in groups, he prefered to just sit at the back alone. He would occasionally join in, but was a bit more antisocial, which was why he was only good friends with a few schoolmates. But sadly none of them were in his class.
Jungkook and his group of friends were well known at school, quite popular you could even say, because they were are all very talented in one way or another, and God had blessed them with beauty. This made it hard for others to approach them. But there were upsides too, for example if you forgot to bring lunch money, you could always count on someone "accidentally" bringing enough food for two people (which Jin-Hyung always loved to take advantage of).
So you can say they had a lot of power in the school, even with the staff.
But for jungkook life was boring.
Even outside of school him and his friends would always get away with anything, and could do anything they pleased. It made him wonder what it would be like if people hadn't labeled them so quickly, and just saw them as a fellow classmate. Maybe then life wouldn't be so boring and meaningless.
Jungkook snapped out of his thoughts as the teacher slammed his books on the desk, and said he had an announcement to make.
"Ok class. I know we are already half way through the school year, but we have a new student that will be joining us from now on."
And as if on cue the door opened, and a boy with bright orange hair walked in.
"Ah there he is. Please introduce yourself to everyone." The teacher asked right away.
The boy stood in the middle of the class and gave a small bow, making the scarf he had wrapped around him fall just enough to reveal a little more of his face.
"Hello~ my name is Kim Taehyung. It's nice to meet you all!" He said with a big smile.
"Thank you Taehyung. Now everyone, I expect you all to get along and help him when needed."
He paused for a bit to check the seating chart. "Well, sense we are a full class this year. I have no other choice, but to seat you in the back next to Mr. Jeon.” He said as he pointed the boy to his new seat. This was quickly followed by a loud chorus of "aww's" throughout the classroom.
The boy followed his hand, and laid eyes on jungkook. He said a quick thank you to the teacher, and then headed to the back of the classroom.
But halfway there he suddenly tripped. Some of his things falling out of a folder he was holding, but luckly he managed to catch himself with his free hand.
"Omg! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you trip!" One of the girls in the class said.
Everyone started laughing. From where jungkook sat, he was able to see the boys shock, but it was quickly gone as he got up and dusted his pants. Smile back on his face.
"Hahaha don't worry! Accidents happen right?"
That quickly made everyone to stop laughing. The air suddenly turning sour.
"Freak, you don't even deserve to sit next to someone like Jungkook!"
Everyone agreed, and started joining in. Taehyung just ignored them all, and continued to gather his stuff, and somehow still kept a smile on his face. Jungkook didn't know why it made his heart hurt, or where a burning need to protect, and care for the boy came from.
The room suddenly became quiet as jungkook stood, and leaned down to help the boy pick up his things. The boy looked up at him for a moment, but jungkook just ignored him and quietly continued. As soon as jungkook got up there was a loud chorus again.
"JUNGKOOKIE!? Why are you helping that weirdo? Don't waste your time, and dirty your hands for him!"
Something in jungkook snaped when he heard that.
"I'm sorry, but sense when did we become close enough for you to call me that?" He said to the one who called out.
"Also I'm not a dick like some of you, that I wouldn't help someone out, and pick a few things up from the floor."
He offered his hand to the boy, who slowly grabbed it with a bit of a unreadable expression. He then headed back to his desk with the boy following closely behind. Everyone was still watching, but now with shock written on their face.
"Why are you still staring!? Is there something else you want to say?" Jungkook said sitting in a way to intimidate, and glared at them.
Everyone quickly looked away, and jungkook went back to looking outside the window.
"Ok class that's enough. Now please open your books to page 35." The teacher said as he gave a small cough to get everyone's attention.
The students did as they where told, and once again everthing was back to normal. But throughout the whole class, the boy kept glancing at him.
Soon enough the bell rang to dismiss them for lunch. When jungkook finished packing his bag, he noticed the boy just stayed where he was.
"Are you planing to just stay there during lunch?" Jungkook asked him.
The boy quickly turned to look at him.
"Uhm. I forgot to bring lunch money, and I don't know where the cafeteria is ether..."
There was a moment of silence, then jungkook got up.
"Come on. I'll show you where it is, and I'll even get you lunch." He turned to look at the boy, and attempted to give him a nice small smile.
"You can take it as a welcome to our school gift."
The boy looked at him with wide eyes, then gave him a big smile. It looked like a box...it was cute. It made jungkook feel warm inside in a way, and he couldn't help but to give him a big smile back.
"Thank you~!" The boy said as he got up and followed him out.
When they left jungkook noticed that everyone in the class was watching them silently, but he didn't care and just ignored them. I'm not here to please them anyways, he thought
They got their food, and headed to sit at jungkooks group table.
"Is it really ok for me to sit with you guys?" He heard the boy ask.
"Yea it's fine” Jungkook replied. “Don't worry about it! They are a good people, and will likely welcome you no problem." He said with a warm smile, because it was true, and he didn't really know what he'd do without them.
"Hey Jungkookie!" He heard his friend Hoseok call out. Making the rest of the group call out too.He gave a small laugh.
"Hey guys!" He replied as they joined them at the table.
"So who's this little cutie?" Jin of course being the first to ask. Giving the boy his soft smile that never failed to warm people hearts.
"He's new. He's going to be in my class from now on." Jungkook replied.
"Hello, my name Kim Taehyung." They boy said returning a smile.
"Aww! He's so cute!" Jin sad, his motherly side coming out. "My name is Kim Seokjin, but you can call me Jin."
"Hey there Taehyung! My name is Kim Namjoon. Don't be afraid to ask us for anything ok?" Namjoon said, next to Jin. Offering the boy a sweet smile. Hoseok was next to introduce himself.
"Helloo~ my name is Jung Hoseok! It's great to meet you kid!" He then gave the boy a welcome hug. Never really understanding the word personal space.
"Ok Hoseok, that's enough." Said the one siting next to him.
"Hey there kid. My name is Min Yoongi, and sorry about him. He doesn't know what personal space is."
Taehyung gave a small laugh. "No it's fine. I love hugs anyways."
"Awww he's just so cute!" Hoseok said loudly, and gave him a tighter hug, making Taehyung laugh even more. "Ugh! I just feel I want to protect you. Ask me for anything ok? I'll make sure you get it!"
"Hoseok-hyung, your going to break him in two!" Jimin laughed, next to jungkook. "By the way, my name is Park Jimin. Happy to meet you~!" Jimin giggled, giving him a big smile that turned his eyes to crystal moons.
"Hello!" Taehyung said, then gave them a small bow. "I'm so glad to meet you all, and hope we'll get along. Please take care of me."
Jin gave a small laugh. "Of course! You are part of our group now."
Taehyung looked at him with wide eyes, then at everyone else. He stopped when he looked at jungkook. "Really?" He asked.
"Yup! You are. So let's all take care of each other then." Jungkook said. Giving him a big smile again.
"Aw look at our Jungkookie. Actually giving a normal smile, and acting all caring." Yoongi said with a smirk. "You should feel lucky kid. He doesn't just smile to anybody." Everyone in the group started laughing.
"What do you mean?" Taehyung asked tilting his head a bit.
"Nothing! He means nothing Taehyung...just ignore him." Jungkook said as he looked down and started eating. Hiding the blush threshing to come out. Luckly Namjoon saved him.
"Haha ok that's enough. Let's just enjoy our lunch now."
They then went on eating, everyone talking like they always did. It was as if Taehyung was always a part of the group, he fit right in. Jungkook watched happily as the boy talked, laughed, and joked around with everyone, smiling the whole time. Just like before, the boys smile made him feel warm inside, but his sweet laugh and giggles just made him feel blessed.
That's when jungkook finally decided, he was going to protect the boy and make sure he always had that smile on his face, laughing freely like he was right now.
After lunch was over, everyone said their goodbyes, and the rest of the school day went smoothly. After class was over jungkook and the boy walked together to the gates, talking and laughing. When they got there, jungkook didn't feel like saying goodbye yet, so he asked the boy if he could walk him home. In return the boy gave his boxy smile, looking cute and warm under his scarf with his bright orange hair blowing in the wind.
"Of course!" The boy said happily.
"Great! Let's get some hot chocolate on our way home?" Jungkook offered.
"That sounds greats!" He giggled.
They smiled at each other, and then started on their way.
That's how Jungkook’s first time meeting Taehyung went, and ended. But also how his life changed from boring to meaningful and exciting.
And it's all thanks to a ball of light that came into my life on a cold windy spring day.
***Present***
Jungkook got the stuff Taehyung asked him to get, and headed back up to their shared room.
"Tae, Babe. I'm back with the food."
Taehyung quickly sat back up from looking through his phone, and sent him a warm smile.
"Thank you Jungkookie, my bunny honey!" Jungkook lets out a laugh.
"You should really watch what you eating Tae. We want our kids to come out happy, and healthy don’t we?"
Taehyung pouts. "I am watching what I'm eating!....It doesn't hurt to eat stuff like this once in awhile does it?"
"Yea, I guess you're right." He says with a sigh. Then opens his mouth when Taehyung offers him a piece of mango. "There. Now you can't be mad after eating some sweet mango!" He giggles.
He looks down to his husband happily eating his food, and smiles warmly.
"Hey Tae?" Taehyung looks up. "Yeah?" Jungkook leans down and kisses taehyung on his lips.
"I love you." He hums.
Taehyung returns the kiss back.
"I love you too~"
Jungkook doesn't know how Taehyung is able to make him so powerless, but he doesn't really mind.
No, as long as it's Taehyung, and only Taehyung that sees this side of him, he doesn't care.
He doesn't care how much power the boy has over his heart, because he knows that he can fully trust that he’ll take care of it. He also knows that, he has as much power over Taehyung's heart as well. So together while raising their family and making sure everyone is happy and healthy, they will support, and protect each other with their heart and soul till the end.
