Pairing;Taegi
Summary:Yoongi notices Taehyung's strange behaviour.
------------------------------
He didn’t question it, not at first anyway. He didn’t question why the same face showed up at his studio door almost every day asking him the same thing

“Hyung, can I sit in here with you?”

It’s become such a regular thing now that he didn’t even need to open his mouth anymore, all’s he had to do was just give him one look before letting himself into the room to claim the small but comfy leather couch. He doesn’t exchange words, he hardly made a sound but one thing that never went unnoticed was the looks he gave. To anyone else he was just throwing innocent Maknae looks towards the elder, but the elder knew that was not the case at all. Eyes that held an abnormal glint pooling with worry, the tightened grip he held on the couch and the way he nibbled at his bottom lip. A sure indication that something was bothering him, something was running through that crazy mind of his and putting him on edge. He did not need words, he did not need a genius to tell him something was clearly wrong because he could already see it, he’d seen it for at least two months with his own two eyes and he didn’t like it in the slightest. But he didn’t push, he was never the type to push for something. He’d sit and wait however long it’d take for him to tell him what was wrong, he hoped he’d make the smart choice of speaking up about it soon because seeing a once loud and boisterous male spend most of his time sat on the same couch shooting him worried glances every two seconds when he thought he wasn’t looking was in all honest a little scary. 
Let’s rewind to the very beginning, the first day it happened
Just a regular working day for the Bangtan boys. The group of seven had gone through their morning routine before being ushered off to their dance studio where they were working on old routines to sharpen up their moves. Well, most of them were there anyway. 
Min Yoongi despite him not being the best dancer in the group was locked up in his “Genius lab” as the maknae’s loved to call it, Jungkook even got him a sign for his door with those two words on it and even to this day it still made the elder chuckle. The dance line, Jin and Namjoon were the ones cooped up in the dance studio transitioning through routine after routine putting their bodies under stress that Yoongi did not find appealing in the slightest and was not going to put himself in that situation. He understood that it was something he had to do, it was just something that came along with being what he is and the group he was a part of.
However, that didn’t mean he’d take a chance or two to sneak off and lock himself in his studio, his haven. 
This was a normal thing for Yoongi and the other members didn’t pull him up over it so he just did as he pleased, knowing that Hoseok despite them being best friends would not go easy on him in their next dance practice ‘maybe I could fake sickness?’ he thought to himself but already knew that no matter what he did there was no getting out of it. With a sigh he turned to his left to tamper with the decent sized keyboard set up, gentle fingers brushed their way along the keys as the notes seemed to float around the room with his eyes closed Yoongi allowed himself to be taken away by the sound of music. Unfortunately his moment of pure bliss didn’t last long as it was disturbed by a pretty quiet knock at the door, with a slight huff the blonde haired male pivoted his chair around before he pushed himself up to stand and walk over towards the door not expecting to see Taehyung on the other side.

“Hyung, can I stay in here with you?” he asked in a not so Taehyung way as his eyes didn’t face him instead they were casted down to the floor

“I thought you were in the dance studio with the others” Yoongi said with a raised brow

“I know, but can I just stay in here for a little bit? I won’t disturb you I promise” to Yoongi the other held this look in his eyes almost begging to be allowed in the room

“Alright, you can stay. But I’ll be holding you to that promise” as soon as the words left his mouth a smile appeared on Tae’s face showing his gratitude

“Thank you hyung”

That was the first day it happened, the first day Taehyung had begged Yoongi to stay in his studio with him, the first day Taehyung had actually kept his promise and hadn’t disturbed the elder one bit during the entire time he was in the room which concerned Yoongi more since Taehyung was rarely quiet. Even in his sleep the man always seemed to want to make his presence known to everyone within a five mile radius. 
Not seeming it as an issue Yoongi refrained from saying anything, he never once brought it up with the other members because from what he could tell the other members don’t have the slightest clue on where Taehyung goes, they don’t know where he suddenly disappears to and Yoongi knew the other wanted to keep it that way. But now that he thought more about it the more he’s realising how much Taehyung seems to be following him around like a lost puppy, wherever Yoongi went Taehyung went with him even if it was to get up during the night to get a drink Tae would be there. The more he realised Taehyung’s strange behaviour the more concerned he got, even though he may have a difficult time in showing it Yoongi cared a lot for the other members and with him being the observant guy he is, it didn’t take him long to know when something was wrong and wanted to help out his fellow members when such times came around. 
For Yoongi, the last straw had been when he was awoken at three in the morning by a series of whimpers and loud clattering before hearing the bathroom door slam shut, to him hearing any of his friends crying was the last straw and something needed to be done about it. So with a glance to his right he made sure the noise hadn’t woken up Jin before swinging his legs over to touch the cold laminate floor, as stealthy as he could he pushed himself up and padded over towards the bedroom door only to open it far enough so he could slip through to the other side and quietly close the door behind him. 
Once out in the hall Yoongi then made his way towards the bathroom were he could hear the distinct sound of gagging and whimpering but there was also something else. Something that made something within him snap. He stood close to the door listening to the sounds that made his heart ache but what he wasn’t expecting to hear was

“*Gag* Y…Y…Yoon *cough* Y…Yoon…gi *cough and whimper* h…help me”

It was clarified that it was indeed Taehyung in the bathroom, sounding like he was trying to upchuck his intestines as well as drown in his tears. But here Yoongi was, listening to the younger male call out for him from within the bathroom and that made something snap within him. He didn’t even bother knocking as he opened the door and slipped his way in making sure to close the door behind him before making his way over to the distressed male, not hesitating for even a second to bring him into his arms and hold him as tight as he possibly could.

“Y…Y…Yoon…gi…” the younger choked out

“Shh, shh I’m here now Tae. You’re gonna be alright, shh try to calm down you’re alright, I’m here now” Yoongi cooed into his ear, his hushed voice calming as his warm breath ghosted against the other’s neck

At the first sound of the elders voice, the dam was knocked down for Tae as never ending streams escaped from his usually so bright and happy eyes. Still hunched over the bowl of the toilet empting his already empty system as big fat tears rushed down his face, his laboured breathing didn’t go unnoticed and neither did the violent tremors that racked through his body nor the sheen of sweat that coated his forehead.

“Shh, you’re alright Tae. You’re alright, just try to calm down for me. Take in deep breaths, in and out” Yoongi continued the gentle cooing to the younger

“Y…Yoon…gi” the taller of the two managed to choke out before another wave of dry heaving washed over him and the entire time Yoongi never once let go

After a few minutes of gentle cooing and tender-hearted touches Taehyung slowly calmed down falling completely limp against Yoongi’s chest who had his back up against the wall, his hands ghosted along his arms as he planted warm kisses to his temple and the back of his neck to continue offering the comfort the other male so desperately need from him.

“Y…Yoongi” Tae managed to rasp out

“I’m here Tae, the worst of it seems to have passed now. I won’t push for you to talk about it, but just know that I’m always here to listen to you. If there’s something bothering you then you don’t need to be afraid to tell me what that something is and I’ll try and help you any way I can” Yoongi assured the male in a hushed voice and he wondered if Tae had fallen asleep due to the long period of silence and stillness

“I…I have nightmares hyung. I…I’ve been having nightmares” the whimper in his voice only made the blonde tighten his hold around him as a way to shield him away and protect him as he pressed his lips directly on Tae’s ear

“Take your time, don’t rush if you aren’t ready”

“I’m ready. They’re horrible hyung, i…it’s always the same scenario every single night. We’re all doing a concert but half way through the concert something bad happens and…and you’re the one who ends up getting hurt…y…you end up getting hurt and I’m powerless to do anything” right now Yoongi didn’t see a young male in his early twenties, he saw a young boy in need of comfort 
It all made sense to him now, the strange behaviour he’d noticed from Tae.

“Are you afraid that those nightmares might happen? That I’ll end up hurt?” the small tentative nod from the other confirmed his theory

“T…The one I had tonight was one of the big spot lights from above broke and fell. T…The spot light you were directly under suddenly started falling, it fell so fast that before any of us could react it was too late. I…I remembered feeling so scared, t…that’s why you found me here in the state I was in because the emotion and feelings just got too much. I…It’s also the reason why I’ve wanted to stay around you as much as possible…I…I’m scared that if I look away for even just a second something will happen that will end up taking you away from me” curling up so much he couldn’t anymore Tae buried his face into Yoongi’s chest taking in the soothing smell of coffee and a hint of vanilla

“Oh Tae. You should’ve told me sooner. But that doesn’t matter now, now Tae. You need to listen to me very carefully right now alright, I’m going to be very straight forward with you…” he paused to make sure the other was listening and when he felt him nod against his chest he continued

“These nightmares you’re having, I won’t tell you that there isn’t a possibility of them happening unless you’ve had a nightmare about me getting run over by an elephant because that’s one nightmare I can assure you won’t happen” smiling when his attempt at getting a smile out of the other worked as well as a small giggle.

“However, the possibility of a light falling and hitting me is very small but not impossible. The next time you have a nightmare like that as well as the ones you’ve had in the past, always remember that I’m here. I’m always going to be here, to help, to comfort you just like I’m doing right now. Remind yourself that despite the images your brain is showing you I’m just in the room next to yours breathing the same air as you, still kicking and acting grouchy as ever. Those nightmares despite the possibility of them happening, aren’t real. They aren’t real, I am and always will be here to help you with any problem you have. Nothing and I mean NOTHING is going to take me away from you. EVER” after his speech ended Tae felt a few drops land in his hair, a sniffle was heard loud and clear in his ear and with just a slight tilt of his head to look up he caught sight of the tears building up In Yoongi’s eyes one managing to sneak its way down his cheek, seeing his hyung cry just made how own eyes fill up.

“T…Thank you Yoongi” he whimpered

“Don’t mention it” the blonde replied in his own whimpered voice

The two just continued to sit there on the bathroom floor cuddled up in the darkness. Yoongi with his arms wrapped around Tae’s curled up form swearing to hell, heaven and Earth that nothing would pry him away from the other.

Not if he had anything to say about it.
