the feeling of hands on taehyung's naked chest made him close his eyes at the contact.

the small fingers trailed up his body making incoherent shapes just underneath his right color bone, his skin burning from the touch.

"you're so beautiful."

taehyung kissed the boy's forehead. "that's my line, princess."

jimin reached back to trail his hand back over the exposed skin this time just a couple inches above his navel.

"why are you being so touchy today?"

the older rested his head on his free arm to hold himself up so he could stare at the other in the dark.

"i'm just appreciating your company. do you not like it?"

"i love it." taehyung breathed out with a little contented sigh.

the black haired boy only smiled at the answer, the praise erupting a few butterflies in his stomach.

it was only around eleven as they had gotten back from the train station a good twenty minutes ago, both had just lazily laid with each other on taehyung's couch and had taken off their shirts and jeans for the purpose of having to cuddle for anymore warmth.

"i really like you." jimin caressed his abdomen.

a smile pulled at taehyung's lips. "it'd be even better if you loved me instead."

he instantly frowned as the shorter retracted his hand back and scooted to the other side of the sofa to create a considerable amount of distance between the two of them.

taehyung sat up and pulled the boy onto his lap, wanting to immediately fix this before it led to anything upsetting for the older. "hey, i'm sorry i was just teasing."

jimin rested his head on his shoulder, sighing as his cold back came in contact with the younger's warm chest.

"it's alright, i just feel bad."

"why, baby?"

"for as long as i can remember i've been chasing one person. i never even considered having feelings for anyone besides yoongi and now that i do it's hard to keep up with, you know? it's not like i don't want to say it, it's just weird wanting nothing other than being in this position with him for years and now suddenly you're here and i wouldn't want it any other way."

taehyung kissed the crown of his head and wrapped his arms around his slim waist. "i'm not trying to rush anything, i'll wait forever if that's how long you need."

jimin turned around in his hold, now basically straddling him but more in a sitting position than in a suggestive way. "i really really like you, i really don't know how to tell if i love you though. i never really thought of the side affects of being in love since i've always just been around yoongi my whole life."

the younger stood up, the older in his arms.

jimin held onto him tightly, his legs
securely wrapping around his hips as if it was a natural response to just trust the other not to drop or hurt him.

he was gently laid on the bed, the blood colored sheets making his body look so pale and small in comparison.

his hands ran through his boyfriend's crimson hair to get his fringe out of his dark eyes making the tanned melanin skinned boy smile in return.

"why did you bring me in here?"

taehyung pulled the covers up to his neck, slipping in beside him and placing his left arm around his shoulders to bring him even closer.

their legs entangled together underneath the blanket.

"i got squished." he laughed, making the smaller also giggle.

"taehyung?" he hummed in response. "can you tell me how i'm supposed to know if i'm in love?"

the red haired boy admired his face despite there barely being any light escaping in through the window. "alright."

his available hand went to hold jimin's cheek.

"do you blush whenever you catch me staring? do you feel shy when we suddenly lock eyes from a distance?"

he could already feel the heat radiating from jimin's cheeks already answering his question.

he moved his hand down to his thigh, his touch just ghosting over the area just centimeters away from the middle of his boxers. "do you feel excited when i touch you? does the thought of me doing things to you make you excited? does the possibility that i could be doing them with someone else make you jealous?"

jimin hid his face into his neck, letting out a shaky pant into his ear.

taehyung moved back up to his lips, grazing them with his thumb.

"does your mind go blank whenever i kiss you? do your knees go weak when our lips meet?"

jimin closed his eyes, his breathing fastening.

taehyung placed his large palm over jimin's heart, feeling it racing quickly and pounding against his rib cage.

"does your heart strain whenever i show my appreciation for you? does it ache when i don't?"

jimin didn't really know why he was shaking at this point or why the man was making him so sensitive with just words alone, but his body was literally trembling.

finally taehyung lifted up his chin, nuzzling their noses together. "does it hurt to imagine life without me? does it make you happy waking up beside me? does your head spin when i tell you how much i care about you? that's what being in love feels like."

"taehyung-ah?"

the boy bit his lip as he saw the older's weak state, a wave of arousal going over him. "what is it, princess?"

his deep voice mixed with his sultry eyes alone was enough to push jimin over the edge.

the thin material of his boxers tightened as he now clung on to the taller boy.

"i-i think i love you too."
