"Boys, come down for dinner!" Mrs. Kim yelled from the kitchen.

"Coming!" Tae yelled and hopped up from his spot on one of the chairs in his room.

"Tae wait a sec" Jungkook said and stood up.

"What's up Kooks?" Tae asked and turned towards the younger.

"Do you guys pray or anything before you eat? I just wanna know so my face isn't stuffed and you're waiting to say a prayer" Jungkook said with a chuckle. Tae started laughing at the comment. "What's so funny?" Jungkook raised his eyebrow.

"We are far from that, Kook" he said with a laugh. "My mom and I are hardcore Atheists. My other family is hecka churchy, but not us. I haven't talked to any of them in years. When I came out, they all said I was going to Hell and all of this dumb bullshit."

"And that's why I'm a Satanist. Why hate people and say they've sinned when they're just being them? If I'm not gonna like a person, it's for other reasons, not because a book told me not to like them?" Jungkook said and rolled his eyes.

"And that's why I like ya" Tae said with a wink. "Let's go now!" Tae said happily and grabbed Jungkook's hand.

The two boys walked downstairs and to the kitchen. When they walked in, the food was already sitting on the table, along with all of the plates and flatware. When they walked over to the table, Jungkook pulled out a chair for Tae to sit in.

"Thank you, Kookie" Tae said with a smile, and sat down. Jungkook pushed the chair in, and sat down next to Tae's seat.

"Well aren't you two just adorable" Mrs. Kim said with a laugh as she joined the two at the table.

"Mammaaaaaa" Tae whined and pouted. Jungkook chuckled and Mrs. Kim smiled.

"Stop pouting, dear" Tae's mom said softly, and Taehyung immediately stopped. "Now, Jungkook, you may take your food first. Guests are always first here in the Kim household."

"Oh it's quite alright Mrs. Kim. Ladies first" Jungkook said with a smile. Tae's mom was about to say something, but Taehyung stopped her.

"Mama, there's no use in arguing with him. He's stubborn, and you could go back and forth for hours" Tae said with a chuckle. Mrs. Kim decided to not go back and forth, and just accept that Jungkook would argue with her until she would back down.

Tae's mother took a serving of spaghetti, then Tae (because Jungkook refused to take anything until the other two already had gotten food), and then Jungkook. All three of them were eating happily. To Taehyung's surprise, Jungkook wasn't taking enormous bites of his food, and was actually pacing himself.

"So Jungkook, What are you going to school for?" Mrs. Kim asked as they continued eating.

"Photography Visual Arts" Jungkook answered calmly.

"Ah, that's nice. I'm sure your parents miss you all the time" The female stated and took a sip of her water.

"Oh, um, my mother passed away several years ago from Breast Cancer, my dad is off in who knows where with some floozie he met, after he left us" Jungkook stated with a soft voice.

"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. I had no idea." Mrs. Kim apologized frantically.

"It's quite alright Mrs. Kim, you didn't know. I've learned to accept it at this point in my life" Jungkook stated.

"That must have been hard, dear" Tae's mother said empathetically. "If you ever need someone to talk to, about anything, I am more than willing to help" the woman said with a smile.

"Thank you Mrs. Kim, I appreciated" Jungkook said with a smile.

After a bit more of eating, Jungkook was pretty close to being finished, while Tae and his mom were still halfway through their meal.

"Kookie, you can have more if you want" Tae said to the younger.

"Thanks Tae" Jungkook said with a bright smile. He helped himself to more spaghetti. The last time he had a home cooked meal, or something along the lines of it, was the time him and Tae made spaghetti several weeks ago together.

When Jungkook had the food he wanted, he took a sip of water and mixed the noodles in with the sauce.

"So Tae, what did you get on your portrait assignment?" Jungkook asked the elder.

"I did really good actually! I got the highest in the class" Tae said excitedly.

"All because of my handsome face" Jungkook said with a chuckle.

"More like me being able to capture your focal points" Tae said and raised his eyebrow. "But, maybe it had something to do with your face too" the elder said with a cheeky smile.

"Or it was the both of you" Mrs. Kim added in with a laugh. She found it cute how flushed her sons cheeks were while talking to Jungkook.

"Yeah, maybe that" Jungkook said with a smile. Taehyung nodded in agreement and went back to his food.

When the three were done eating, Jungkook somehow convinced Mrs. Kim to let him and Tae do the dishes.

"Tae, can you get me the soap?" Jungkook asked as he started running hot water. He had a hand towel draped over his shoulder, and his sleeves were rolled up.

"Here ya go" Tae said and held out the dish soap for Jungkook to take. The two washed dishes together. Maybe with a small bubble fight in between, but they got the job done.

As Tae was finishing up drying the last bowl, his phone dinged. He set the ceramic bowl down and picked up his phone.

*reality*

Taehyung exited the conversation and turned his phone on silent. He slipped his device into his pocket and looked up, just to see Jungkook wiping down the kitchen table.

"Kooks, you didn't have to do that" Taehyung said and walked over to the younger.

"It's ok, I wanted to" Jungkook said with a smile.

"I think my mom really likes you" Tae stated and took the washrag from Jungkook's hand, and walked back to the sink.

"I think so too" Jungkook said with a small smile and walked over to Tae.

"Why didn't you tell me about your parents?" Asked the elder. Tae looked up at Jungkook.

"It's not something I think about everyday. I just hadn't found the right time to tell you, I guess" the younger said with a shrug.

"Well, like my mama said, if you need someone to talk to, she'll be there for you. She's helped me with lots of stuff" Tae said with a soft smile.

"I'll remember that when I need to talk to someone" Jungkook said with a small smile.

"So, wanna go back up to my room? We can just hang out for a little and watch some Netflix or something" the elder suggested.

"I was gonna go take a shower. But after, I will definitely take you up on the offer" Jungkook said and flashed his bunny teeth.

"Ah, ok." Tae said and nodded. "If you need anything, just let me know. There's towels in the closet that's in the bathroom. And you can use my shampoo, it's the cherry blossom stuff."

"Thanks doll" Jungkook said and turned to go upstairs. "You going to your room?"

"Yeah, I am" Tae said and nodded. He and Jungkook both walked upstairs.

When Tae and Jungkook were upstairs, Tae went into his room, and Jungkook went into the bathroom.

While Jungkook was getting ready to shower, Tae was laying around in his bed. He just wanted to enjoy being at home, but it made it better that Jungkook was there with him.

About five minutes later, Taehyung got out of his bed and wandered over to his mothers room. He knocked lightly, and opened the door after he heard a 'come in'.

"Hi mama" Tae said softly and walked over to his mothers bed.

"Hi baby" his mother said with a sweet smile. She shifted over, and let her son sit next to her on the mattress.

"Can we talk about something?" Tae asked, avoiding eye contact.

"Of course hunny, you know we always can" his mother said, knowing what was coming.

"I just wanna talk this whole thing over. Would it be ok if I just got everything off my chest, then we could actually work it out?" Tae asked. His mother nodded slightly and Tae took a deep breathe. "Ok, so a couple months ago, I met Jungkook. Since then we've been hanging out a lot. We go to the mall, the park, and we just chill in our dorms together. The day you texted me, and then asked for a picture of him." His mother nodded, not saying a word. "After that, we were still hanging out for a couple hours. Bogum called me, and Jungkook answered, because I was in the bathroom. Apparently he was being really mean, and even threatened Kook. He thought Kook hurt me or something. Bogum and I ended up getting into an argument, and we didn't talk for a little while. So, when we talked everything through, I told him to come to the campuses Halloween party to apologize to Jungkook in person" Tae paused and calmed his nerves. "Bogum came, and everything was going great. I could tell he didn't really like Jungkook and I holding hands and being cute. When we got to the party, every drink Kooks gave me, he tested to make sure there was no alcohol. Bogum on the other hand, didn't. He gave me some alcoholic drink, and I was super drunk. It was so bad mama, I promise to never drink underaged again" he said with a small chuckle. "But anyways, I don't remember much, but I walked outside and found Jungkook. He helped me and stuff, but when I was starting to feel somewhat better, Bogum came out, and freaked out cause I left. I guess I ended up drinking his cup of vodka, because I was still drunk off my ass. But then Jungkook took me back to the dorms, and took care of me"Tae said with a smile.

"It sounds like you had a rough night Tae. I'm happy that Jungkook was there for you" Mrs. Kim said softly and smiled.

"Oh just wait, it gets worse" Tae said and continued. "So we were back in the dorms, and I'm feeling better. I can talk properly, and actually see straight. But then, I had the urge to puke our my insides. So that's what happened. I ran to to the bathroom, and Kook followed me. He stayed by my side, even though my head was in a toilet like the whole night. He got water and a blanket for me. He even slept on the bathroom floor just so I wouldn't be alone" Tae said. "Mama, he slept on the nasty ass bathroom floor for me" He said as if he were amazed that Jungkook would do such a thing for him.

"That right there tells me he is committed to you, Tae. Even though you aren't dating him, he really seems to care about you." His mother stated seriously.

"Just wait though, it gets worse from here too" Tae said. "So then, when we woke up, he took me back to my dorm, and helped me get back in bed. But when he left to go get stuff from his room, I heard lots of yelling. I tried to get out of bed to see, but I fell on the floor. That's when I heard Jungkook and Bogum arguing" Tae stopped talking, and took a small breathe. "He said he just wanted to get in my pants, mama" he said, trying not to cry. "I thought we were friends. I don't know how he could be like that" he said shakily, trying to keep in his tears. Bogum wasn't worth the heartache. He wouldn't stoop so low to just let out a few tears.

"Well hunny, people chance. Sometimes how it's for the worst, which is clearly what happened" Mrs. Kim stated sternly. "But Tae, I think you should think of the positive things that came out of this."

"What good came from this? I felt like I got my heart shredded."

"Jungkook, that's what came out of it that was positive. He was the one who was there for you. He clearly really cares for you, Tae" his mother said.

"I guess, mama. But I just don't know" Tae sighed and put his hands on his face.

"What I can tell you, is follow your heart. Follow what it's telling you, baby" his mother said and took his hands off of his face.

"Thank you, mama. I really needed this" said and kissed his mothers cheek.

"I'm sure you did, Tae" the woman said and kissed her sons forehead. "Now, go enjoy your time with Jungkook. Go and cuddle all you two want" she said and winked.

"I'm not even going to acknowledge what you said" Tae said with a giggle and stood up. He walked his way to the door, but his mother stopped him.

"Tae, you shoulda brought him home earlier" she said with a sweet smile.

"I know, mama, I know" he said with a smile and walked to his room.

When he reached his room, he heard the shower wasn't running anymore. He figured Jungkook was either in the bathroom or in his room. So, he just opened his door and walked in.

Tae stopped dead in his tracks when he say Jungkook standing in the middle of his room, only wearing a pair of low cut sweatpants, without a shirt. Before Tae could walk back out, Jungkook turned and made eye contact with the elder. Tae couldn't help but stare. His tattoos and muscles were just putting a spell on him. The way his body was built perfectly, and the way the sweatpants laid perfectly on his hips, exposing his deep V line.

"Are you gonna come in, or...?" Jungkook trailed off and raised his eyebrow.

"Yeah... um, sorry" he said and shook his head slightly and closed the door. Tae walked over to one of the chairs and sat down, avoiding eye contact with Jungkook.

"You know it's ok, right? I'm not naked, you can look at me" Jungkook said with a chuckle. He sat down on Tae's bed and rolled over to the other side to look at Tae.

"I know, but I thought you'd like some privacy" Tae said with flushed cheeks.

"Come here" Jungkook said and stood up. Tae listened and walked over t the younger. "Sit down" Jungkook stated, and Tae listened. Jungkook laid down on his stomach, with his back up. He still didn't have a shirt on.

"What are you doing?" Tae asked.

"Sit on my butt" Jungkook said and put his arms under his head.

"Uh, ok?" Tae said and crawled onto Jungkook. He sat on the younger's ass until he was told what to do next.

"Ok, you can ask me about my tattoos. You can touch them too if you want. I always see you looking at them, so go ahead. Talk to me Tae" Jungkook said as Tae's cheeks flustered. He was embarrassed that Jungkook caught him staring at the younger so much.

"Hmmm, ok" Tae said and looked that the boys back, shoulders, and the back of his neck. "How old were you when you got your first tattoo?" Tae asked, still looking at the artwork on the males back.

"I was 14" Jungkook said nonchalantly.

"14! You were so young!" Tae was shook (Jungshook lmao).

"I got it for my mom. It's her two thumbprints in the shape of a heart" Jungkook stated.

"Where is it?" Tae asked.

"It's on my right ankle" Jungkook answered. Tae immediately turned himself and grabbed Jungkook's foot. He pulled down the pant leg slightly enough to see his ankle. There was a black heart made of two thumb prints.

"Awe, it's so cute Kookie." Tae gushed.

"My mom thought so too. Even though I got it done illegally, cause I was underaged" Jungkook said with a chuckle.

"Wow, mister breaking the law. Who knew you were such a bad boy" Tae said with a giggle.

"I'm a bad boy, huh?" Jungkook chuckled and quickly flipped onto his back. Tae was now sitting right on top of his crotch, but didn't seem to mind much. Tae in the other hand was a bit flustered. He still had the buttplug in, and he sure as hell didn't wanna get all horny. He didn't need that right now.

"You're the softest bad boy I've ever met" Tae said and laid down on Jungkook's bare chest. His full body was on top of the younger's.

"And you're the baddest softie I've ever met" Jungkook said with a chuckle. Jungkook moved his hand into Tae's hair, and started playing with it.

"You smell nice" Tae stated as he laid on top of the younger.

"I smell like you" Jungkook said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, but you still smell like you though" Tae said and blushed.

"Do I at least smell like nice?" Jungkook chuckled.

"Yeah, you smell nice" Tae giggled.

"Why are you so adorable?" Jungkook asked.

"I dunno, why are you so hot?" Tae asked.

"Oh wow, you think I'm hot" Jungkook laughed.

"But let's be real here, who doesn't?" Tae said and laughed.

"Good point" Jungkook laughed. "But I don't really care. It only matters what certain people feel, not all of them."

"Preach" Tae said softly.

"Well doll, how about we watch some Netflix like you said earlier?." Jungkook suggested.

"Oh yeah!" Tae said and sat up quickly. He got off of Jungkook and grabbed two remotes off of his desk. Jungkook slipped on his shirt and laid back down. Jungkook smiled when Tae jumped onto his bed, and laid right next to him.

The second Tae found something to watch, the two got comfy and spent the entire night laughing at whatever played on the TV. And to make it even better, they spent the time in each other's arms.
