This was it. Graduation.

Many kids have been looking forward to this day for what seemed like forever. The end of a chapter, leading to the beginning of another. Another milestone reached in the adventure they call life. Truly a special day for all.

Taehyung cleared his throat, the sound echoing through the auditorium and getting everyone's attention. He was going to pass down the valedictorian speech the next person in line, but something in him told him to go for it.

Everyone stared intently as Taehyung blinked his eyes nervously, then caught Jeongguk's in the crowd, who threw him a cute thumbs up and all of it faded away.

"Hello, everyone. For those of you who may not know me, I'm Kim Taehyung," he started. He heard the students giggle because who the hell doesn't know the top student and on top of that, Jeongguk's boyfriend??

"And for those who do, hey friends. Friends, that's something I never thought I might have. You may laugh, but I seriously didn't think so. These past three years, I've really understood, and I still am, the value of that friendship, as we all may have. Our teacher before we came down here said to us this isn't a class, but a family. We all thought it was cheesy, but deep down, we knew exactly what he meant..." 

Taehyung continued, not a stutter to his words nor a hesitating pause. He had flown off script, but he said everything he wanted to and more. Once he had ended, the student body broke out into cheers and laughs, and a lot more tears as they hugged one another and threw their hats into the air.

As Taehyung walked down from the stage, he saw Jeongguk running over to him. Taehyung didn't even need to think, it was like instinct now. He opened his arms and welcomed the big hug.

"You were amazing," Jeongguk praised, looking at the boy.

"Thank you," Taehyung replied, still holding the boy in his arms.

"Hey lovebirds! Come take group photos with us!" Hoseok called out. Taehyung and Jeongguk shared a laugh before running over to their friends.

After a few snaps, Taehyung pulled Jeongguk aside.

"What's up?" Jeongguk asked, confused.

Taehyung smiled and lead him to their classroom. Jeongguk followed without questioning his intentions. As soon as they got into the room, Jeongguk ran up to his desk. His fingers ghosted over his seat that held memories of his school life, his teachers, his classmates, his friends, and his Taehyung.

"Congratulations," he heard Taehyung say. Jeongguk turned around to see the other and his smile only widened. Taehyung stood there with a bouquet of daisies. He walked over to Jeongguk, placing the bouquet softly in his hand. "You made it," he whispered.

"We made it," Jeongguk corrected. He looked at the pretty daisies, wondering how Taehyung managed to hide it from him. He set them on his desk so that he could hug the other. Taehyung returned the hug, both just holding each other tightly.

"Thank you," Jeongguk said.

After some time, Jeongguk's phone began buzzing. He pulled it out, still keeping the contact. Dozens of notification from his parents flooded the screen. He was supposed to meet them. They could only come for a few hours and would leave on the next train to visit one of their customers who had a complaint about something, so Jeongguk couldn't even go back home with them. Jeongguk definitely couldn't miss this. Plus, Taehyung's dad was probably waiting for him too.

"You better come with me to the celebration party," Jeongguk said after explaining that his parents wanted to see their son. Taehyung had been groaning about that kaoraoke party, trying to worm his way out of it. Without hearing the boy's answer since it didn't matter anyways, Jeongguk dashed out with the flowers.

Jeongguk's parents engulfed him in a big hug and gave him a bouquet of their own. When questioned who the daisies were from, Jeongguk wasn't sure if he could explain why Taehyung would get him flowers.

Jeongguk was always out and about about his sexuality except when it came to them. His parents were quite conservative, and he really didn't want to ruin this special day. His coming out day would come some time else.

"From someone very special to me," Jeongguk replied with a wink. His parents laughed and didn't pry more.

•—•—•

"Please," Jeongguk whined and he held onto Taehyung's arm with both of his. Taehyung was still refusing to go the their class's party.

"It always gets too loud and I'll just sit in a corner the whole time. I'll probably ruin your fun," Taehyung tried to reason.

Jeongguk pouted. "Then what was your whole speech about friendship is magic and shit, hmm?"

Taehyung sighed, he didn't know what to say to that, then an idea sparked in his mind. "Let's go on a date."

Jeongguk stopped and thought about it. He snapped his fingers. "We'll go on a date then straight to the karaoke place!"

That definitely wasn't what Taehyung meant, but he knew there was no use. Now the only strategy he could go for was to drag out the date for as long as possible.

There's actually been a place Taehyung had been wanting to bring Jeongguk to. It's always been Jeongguk planning their dates and Taehyung wanted to take initiative for once. That's how they ended up at Sunshine Marketplace.

"So these coins are basically your cash? Kind of like an arcade? Or ride tickets?" Jeongguk questioned. Taehyung nodded. He'd come here with his father all the time, it always felt like a mini festival. Taehyung looked at Jeongguk who was staring at the coins in the cup, nervous he wouldn't like it.

"Cool!" Jeongguk beamed, looking very excited and Taehyung felt relieved.

They walked into the place, all kinds of smells attracting them. Jeongguk wanted to try literally everything, and vendors had a way with their words to get the boy into buying the treats. Soon enough, all their coins finished. Jeongguk smiled sheepishly as he showed the empty cup to Taehyung, who just smiled back and went to exchange more coins.

Their time there was filled with fun and laughter, Taehyung complying to being fed by Jeongguk which sent the boy over the moon. Taehyung even boldly sneaked in a couple cheek kisses, but of course that wasn't enough for Jeongguk. He'd use the excuse of there being some sauce on Taehyung to kiss the corner of his lip. Neither of the two noticed as time went on until Jeongguk got a call from Kumi asking where the two were.

So without putting up a fight, Taehyung followed Jeongguk to karaoke. As soon as they entered the room their group of friends booked, Taehyung already knew his eardrums were in for an adventure. Everyone pulled them in and Jeongguk immediately catched a mic, singing along to whatever song was going on without minding pitch.

As expected, Taehyung sat himself in a corner and laughed here and there whenever someone did something stupid, which was the entire time. As time passed, he began to enjoy himself even if he was just watching and clapping with the tambourine.

His boyfriend would come up to him at time to sing any romantic parts, lay a kiss on his nose, then return to dancing crazy with their friends.

At one point, everyone teamed up on Taehyung and forced him to the front with a mic in their hand. They picked "Up & Down" by Exid for him. Taehyung did his best to protest against it, but it was yet again a fight he couldn't win.

The song started with the cheerful and upbeat tune, and Taehyung sang with the most emotionless and monotone tone. His voice was actually quite soothing, but he should've just out the words at that point, although he really was trying his best.

Everyone clapped along awkwardly, not getting so hyped up with hearing such a song sound so depressing. Jeongguk, seeing the mood that was being set, knew he needed to do something. He grabbed onto Yerim's hand and pulled her up to the stage. Confused, Yerim watched as Jeongguk began dancing to the song, and she immediately knew to follow. A couple of other who knew the choreography joined in, and the atmosphere was made crazy once again.

Somehow the messy dancing paired along well to Taehyung's singing. In a way like how Jeongguk paired along well with Taehyung, two very different people who completed each other.

•—•—•

By dinner time, most had to leave due to promised meals with their parents or other graduation traditions. Jeongguk, however, didn't. Taehyung, of course, had to invite him over to his dad's restaurant.

At Mr. Kim's, it was packed as expected. Groups of students or families enjoying themselves leaving not even the extra chairs empty. A full house. Mr. Kim managed to make some food for the boys to take upstairs to Taehyung's room.

"It's probably going to be really loud," Mr. Kim said with a frown, barely even being heard over the chatter of the customers. Taehyung shrugged, feeling a little bad for Jeongguk.

"Then we could go over to mine," Jeongguk suggested.

Mr. Kim nodded. "I'm sorry, Jeongguk-ah."

Jeongguk shook his head. "It's alright. Thank you for the food."

"We'll leave now then," Taehyung said.

The two left the restaurant and made way to Jeongguk's apartment. As they walked, Jeongguk noticed their shadows in front of them. He remembers how he'd play with them to make it look like they were a couple. He switched the bag in his hand to the other so that he could link his arm with Taehyung's.

Taehyung looked at him for the sudden contact, lifting a brow as if he was asking if everything was alright. Jeongguk smiled in response. A smile that spread to Taehyung.

When they reached his door, Jeongguk unlocked it and both entered carefully as the lights were turned off. With a quick flick, the room was illuminated. Jeongguk noticed the box sitting on his dining table. Beside it was a note from his parents. He set the flowers aside and picked up the note to read:

We're so proud of you, bubba. I'm sorry we couldn't stay for longer. You'll have to enjoy this cake all by yourself! We'll visit soon. We love you.

Jeongguk smiled and placed the note to the side. He turned his gaze towards Taehyung, who was waiting patiently while Jeongguk inspected. "We have some dessert for later!"

Jeongguk went to his room to change into more comfortable clothing as Taehyung did when he was at the restaurant. He then joined the other on the couch. Jeongguk searched for a movie to watch as Taehyung put out the food on the small table. Finally, Jeongguk in the end settled on watching the first episode of "Reply 1997" as he'd been meaning to watch the series.

"Oh, this is really good," Taehyung said.

Jeongguk leaned back in his seat and raised a brow. Jeongguk didn't even think the other watched dramas.

"My dad loves watching dramas in his free time. This happens to be one of the few I watched with him," Taehyung explained.

They ate and watched, both the show and the food being great. Four episodes later, Jeongguk had completely gone into the drama and gotten attached to all of the characters.

"If Yoonje and Joonhee ain't endgame, I'm gonna beat a bitch!" Jeongguk yelled as the episode ended, crushing the empty lemonade packet. He turned to look at Taehyung. "Please tell me they end up together."

Taehyung shrugged, setting down his own finished drink. "I had to sit through the entire drama to find out, same goes for you."

Jeongguk pouted and reached for the remote to play the next episode, but retreated his hand and slumped back in his chair.

"Do you really want to know?" Taehyung asked seeing his uncertainty.

Jeongguk shook his head. "It's not that..." The boy bit his lip. Taehyung got closer to get a better look at him.

"Jeongguk?" Taehyung called out. Jeongguk turned his head and was met with Taehyung's being very close. They stayed like that for a few seconds before Jeongguk attached his lips with the other's. Taehyung didn't even need to think twice as he kissed back, bringing a hand to Jeongguk cheek for easier control and the other to his waist. Jeongguk moved himself closer and onto Taehyung's lap.

They continued kissing, only breaking away for air. Taehyung pulled away first. He took a long deep look into Jeongguk's eyes seeing it filled with an emotion much alike his own before kissing down his jaw and to his neck. Jeongguk wrapped his arms around the other's neck and buried Taehyung's head deeper into his neck.

Taehyung's hand which were on his waist slid down and wrapped around the other's thighs. He moved them so that Jeongguk's legs wrapped around his waist. With his grip strongly around his thigh, Taehyung stood up while still kissing around Jeongguk's neck and shoulder.

He carried the boy over to his room, closing the door using Jeongguk's back. He pressed Jeongguk against the same door, pulling away from his neck to look at him again.

"What?" Jeongguk managed to whisper out.

Taehyung kept staring, eyes sparkling. "You're just..." He got up closer and continued. "Just so pretty."

Jeongguk giggled as Taehyung planted little kisses all over his face.

"You've gotten quite bold, Kim Taehyung-sshi. First, you confess in front of the whole school and now this. What happened to my shy baby?" Jeongguk asked with a smirk.

Taehyung buried his neck into the other's chest. "Shut up, I didn't know I had an audience."

"There he is!" Jeongguk cooed, cupping Taehyung's cheeks and lifting his head. They looked into each other's eyes for a moment before they connected their lips once again. The kiss was slow and sweet, a very passionate one at that, not like any other.

They pulled away with the same looks of love and desire. Taehyung pulled Jeongguk away from the door and turned around so that he could easily throw Jeongguk onto his bed. Jeongguk fell down with a giggle that Taehyung echoed. Taehyung climbed on top of him while lifting his shirt up slightly. Taehyung gave his mouth a quick peck before moving down and kissing up his stomach, making the boy erupt into laughter.

"You're skinny," Taehyung said pinching the side of his waist and pulling away. He looked up to see Jeongguk's flushed face. Taehyung did his best to hold in his laugh. "Like a stick."

Jeongguk groaned, and Taehyung continued, amused. "Like the sticks in this chip."

"Stop," Jeongguk whined, shutting his eyes tightly.

"You're so cute."

"Even when I'm sleep deprived?" Jeongguk asked opening his eyes.

Taehyung nodded against his stomach. "The cutest."

Jeongguk stared at the other, suspiciously. Taehyung only smiled more. "Eat the chip, but don't become t–"

"Stop!" Jeongguk yelled, grabbed the closest pillow and began hitting his boyfriend lightly. Taehyung bursted out into laughter as he tried to block his hits. He grabbed onto his wrist and pinned them on the bed. Jeongguk hands stopped moving and his grip on the pillow loosened, letting it fall to the side.

Jeongguk leaned his head up and laid a kiss on the other's mouth. "So are we gonna fuck or nah?" he asked.

Taehyung's eyes widened.  "You can't just say that!" he yelled, but a laugh followed his words.

"Why not?" Jeongguk asked back in the same tone.

Taehyung shook his head lightly at the straightforward boy. "Jeez, here I was nervous as hell wondering how to do this."

Jeongguk smiled, matching the one on Taehyung's lips, which suddenly dropped into a frown. Jeongguk got confused on the sudden change in the other's expression as he went into his serious thinking face. Then Jeongguk realized what it might be about.

"Table with the lamp, second drawer," Jeongguk said. Taehyung lifted a brow but reached over to the bedside drawer and opened it. Inside were two boxes of condoms of different sizes and a bottle of lube.

The two have talked about this before, having sex. They unanimously agreed to wait until after graduation as they were both virgins. Although, both were very eager about it, somehow getting it to be the night of graduation without even speaking a word with the other. Jeongguk got a little too excited and went out to buy the needed items a few days ago, where Taehyung on the other hand had many failed attempts. He'd run out of the store a blushing mess.

"Damn," was all Taehyung managed to say. He felt a little guilty he hadn't been more prepared like the other, but he didn't think too much of it.

He looked at Jeongguk who was grinning ear to ear. Taehyung scoffed. "Don't give me that innocent smile of yours." He grabbed a box and opened it, retrieving a packet, as well as bringing the lube and setting it on the side of the bed.

"You're sure about this?" Taehyung wanted to confirm.

Jeongguk pouted. "Yes," he replied sternly.

Taehyung smiled and kissed his pouty lips. He pulled away and took off his shirt, then helped Jeongguk take off his. Slowly, they helped each other take off all their garments, and somehow managed to keep their lips together the entire time.

Taehyung uncapped the bottle of lube, coating his fingers well with the substance. He peppered little butterfly kisses around Jeongguk's shoulder as he inserted a finger into him in hope of easing the pain. He stopped whenever Jeongguk let out a yelp and tugged at Taehyung's hair which he had a tight grip on, only proceeding when he got the green flag from the other. After some time, the pleasure finally began hitting as moans began to slip from Jeongguk's lips.

"F-fuck. Tae– hmm," Jeongguk tried to make sentences. "Keep doing that."

Taehyung was glad he was able to please the other as he was quite nervous going into it with no experience. He pushed in another finger. It was uncomfortable at first, but it made it all the much better. Soon, Taehyung's fingers just weren't enough.

Jeongguk lifted the other's head by his hair and lead him to his lips, kissing him so aggressively that Taehyung had to stop fingering him to just kiss back, stunned in the moment. They both pulled away, panting.

"Just," Jeongguk started. He took in bigger breaths. "Fuck me now. Please?"

Taehyung kissed him again quickly in response. He took out his fingers grabbed the packet of condom and ripped it open quickly, unravelling it around his dick. He put some more lube just in case then aligned it with Jeongguk's hole. Taehyung looked at Jeongguk to get a nod before slowly entering him.

Jeongguk eyes shut tightly and he gripped the bedsheets, bunching it up his hand. Taehyung took small pauses but continued moving in. Once he was all in, he waited for Jeongguk to get adjusted before actually moving.

They started off at a slow pace, neither of them really talking. They were messy being it their first time, but they laughed it off and just continued.

Then as they got more used to it, Taehyung increased his pace, and Jeongguk's increasing moans only encouraged him more. Taehyung ended up hugging Jeongguk tightly as he began ramming into him per Jeongguk's request as they chased their high.

Taehyung wrapped his hand around Jeongguk's dick, pleasuring him more as he hit his prostate every time, and soon enough Jeongguk came all over Taehyung and his own's stomach. Taehyung had come right after.

Taehyung's head fell beside Jeongguk's as they both tried to catch their breath. Taehyung lifted his head up wanting to see Jeongguk once more. The other's eyes openeded slowly as Taehyung unwrapped his hand from the other's dick. He brought it up to Jeongguk's line of vision and wiggled his fingers, showing off how much the boy had come.

Jeongguk pursed his lips and squinted. "'M sorry," he apologized for making a little mess. Taehyung's brows furrowed angrily as he shook his head.

He brought his other hand up and pushed the hair that stuck onto Jeongguk's forehead back, then raked his fingers through the rest of his hair. "You were so good. So good, such a good baby."

Jeongguk smiled. "You called me baby."

"Mhm. You like that?"

Jeongguk nodded cutely without even trying to be.

Taehyung kissed his nose. "My baby. Let's go clean up, baby. C'mon, baby."

Jeongguk laughed. "You don't have to use it that much," he said, even though that was a complete lie and he loved every second of it. Taehyung stood up, and realized he hadn't pulled out of the other yet. Before he could, Jeongguk wrapped his legs around him.

"Just until the water warms up," Jeongguk said. Taehyung smiled and leaned down so that Jeongguk could grab onto his neck.

"Just saying, it's not my fault if the condom slips off," Taehyung said as he carried him to the bathroom.

"I don't care," Jeongguk mumbled into the other's neck. "Stupid condoms, want your cum in my ass. Stupid safety precautions. Neither of us got STDs. So what if we don't always know? Ooh spooky! Fuck this, next time we ain't using one. Just your dick and a shit ton of lube," Jeongguk slurred out, clearly not in his right state of mind. Taehyung could only blink as he had no clue what to say.

They both got cleaned and dressed up. They cuddled up on Jeongguk bed with new sheets that Taehyung had changed for them.

"Shoot," Taehyung said under his breath. He pulled away from Jeongguk and left the room.

"Hey!" Jeongguk whined, already missing the contact.

Taehyung quickly went to the living room and got his phone, seeing the text from the man he was about to call.

Dad

Taehyung smiled to himself then locked his phone. He returned to Jeongguk room. The boy had fallen asleep, but Taehyung's footsteps got him in some kind of half awake state. Jeongguk reached out his arms, opening and clenching his hand all while having a pout.

Taehyung quickly got into the bed and wrapped his arm nicely around Jeongguk, as did the other. Jeongguk fell right back asleep, and soon, Taehyung did as well. They spent the rest of the night in each other's arms.
