10 years later

"Honey, I'm home", Taehyung's deep voice echoed through the big entrance hall of their small mansion. He got off work pretty early today, happily closing the diner they opened a few years ago a little earlier than usually. Rainy days always made the customers stay away but that was okay since Taehyung and Jungkook had grown their little business enough so there was nothing to worry about.

First Taehyung got run over by two puppies that rushed down the stairs and started jumping the boy restlessly. They were followed by Yeontan who came downstairs as well-, just in slow mo.
"Oh hello sir", Taehyung greeted his favorite dog. The small dog was a grandpa by now, never hurrying or rushing anymore.
"Where's my baby", Taehyung whined, looking around.

Then he heard a soft singing voice coming from the bathroom. Tae smiled to himself. Of course Jungkook was showering and getting ready. He always did that, every evening before Taehyung would come home, Kook would dress up and look absolutely endearing. Then he tortured his husband with his beauty during dinner, not letting him getting anywhere near him until he finished all his food and had done the dishes for him.
The rest of their usual night routine was obvious, right?
Usually it ended up in them fucking for at least two hours straight before they would actually start doing something normal like watching movies or talk about their days.

You could think that ten years of marriage would have changed something between them, it should have made their relationship calmer. But that wasn't the case at all. Jungkook and Taehyung fell more in love with the other day by day, with every kiss they shared and every look they exchanged.

There was something about their growing trust in each other that made their whole relationship more attractive. Not one single day they spent apart ever since they rushed off to Vegas to get married. By now they still had no friends. But three dogs and a big house in California. Plus a sweet little diner that got them pretty rich without being in the spotlight. Of course many customers that came there were old fangirls of Taehyung's, still trying to become his love interest. Just that it never worked, Taehyung had only eyes for Jungkook and vice versa.
"Baby", Taehyung hummed as he entered the bathroom, closing the door before the puppies could run inside.

Jungkook was standing under the shower, fully naked and water dripping down his still muscular body. "I missed you", he was fazed by Jungkook's looks, quickly pushing his own pants and shirt off so he could join the boy in the shower.

"Tae!", Jungkook turned around, smiling brightly when he realized that his husband came home early. "You're home early~"

"I missed you too much so I closed early", Taehyung teased, got out of his boxers and then hurried under the shower. Jungkook had the water extremely hot, smirking as he noticed how Taehyung pressed his body against Kook's, holding him by his waist. "Fuck I love you", the older said and then placed small kisses on Jungkook's neck.

Those two never lost their spark.
Both knowing how it felt to be without the other just made each and every day a thousand times more precious as long as they could spend it together. They were sure that they would never get tired of this. It was too good to be true, but it had been their reality for the past ten years now. Not one day to doubt.

Another ten minutes and Taehyung had Jungkook pulled out of the shower, confident in himself that he would get the boy to bed before dinner today. Even though Jungkook always tried to go through with the rules he made in this house. But he seemed a little helpless right now while being dragged to one of their bedrooms. "The blue one today?", Taehyung teased and opened the door to one of their five bedrooms. They were all themed differently. Some years ago they had considered to adopt kids and give the kids the empty rooms instead but after thinking it through long enough, they realized that they'd rather five different bedrooms to fuck in instead of raising kids.
"Mhm sure", Jungkook whispered, letting himself being dragged anywhere Taehyung wanted. The older had caught him in a weak moment today, when he was already naked it was too hard to resist Taehyung in a natural way. So giving in was the most fun right now.

Their blue bedroom was sea themed, huge paintings of the beach and the sunrise decorated the walls, the floor in a light blue and a couple of fish in their bowls standing around in the room. Sometimes, just sometimes, they felt a little sorry for what the fish always had to see in here. They shielded their puppies from all the bedrooms but what those poor fish must have seen in the past few years was probably on the same level as porn.

Luckily today none of the boys was in a kinky mood, just wanting to go slow and kiss.
And that's exactly what happened once Taehyung had pushed Jungkook down on the mattress, spreading his legs and got in between them to kiss the boy's body lovingly.
"I can't wait for summer so we can fuck on the real beach again", he hummed, placing kissing marks on Jungkook's already fully marked body. Taehyung always made sure to leave his mark on the boy so no one would even dare to flirt with him or try anything.
"Too bad it's December", Jungkook teased, placing his hands on Taehyung's hips to pull him closer. Kook was a little needy and he didn't like to be left waiting, especially after a long day.

Well, he came by during lunch and they had a quick round in the storage room but that didn't count for Jungkook.

"Too bad", Taehyung agreed and then pushed his fingers in slowly.
Kook let out a sigh, "Taehyung please, don't you think that this is a little unnecessary?"

"Okay sorry Missy", Tae laughed out and pulled his fingers out, pushing his cock all the way in without even warning Jungkook.
But after ten years of having sex daily, Kook really didn't need any preparation anymore, his butt was ready at all times and Taehyung had, -as bad as it sounds, but he had fucked it loose enough to always fit his size.

They went in for their first round of the night, kissing the whole time while being really soft with the other. Jungkook liked it that way and Taehyung always gave his baby what he needed at first, he only went harder in the late night hours.

While the fish were all staring at them and the puppies in front of the door were annoyed by the amount of attention they were NOT getting, Kook and Tae were in their own world as always.

A world they never wanted to leave again.

love is a crazy thing. it is messy, painful, beautiful but most importantly, it's the realest thing in the world. going to bed with the same person every day, waking up by their side and having someone to talk to about all the things in your head. it can be scary at times, opening up to a stranger on an emotional and physical level at the same time, it can be overwhelming but it is worth it. if it is for the right person.
jungkook and taehyung learned that after all. ups and downs had made their way not always easy but in the end, what's meant to be will always find their way back together.

what's the crazy thing about love is, is that you can love a person so much that you are willing to forgive them everything. and sometimes it really is worth the mess. sometimes you come out stronger than before after your relationship is challenged. sometimes pain is the only thing that makes love strong enough to last.

in movies, it is always shown as perfect. two people falling for the other and fighting all the odds to be together. in real life, love isn't as easy as imagined in movies. there will be days when you can't look at your partner and smile, there will be tears and there will be moments where it feels like your heart is shattering in a thousand pieces.

but this is what love is all about.
it is about picking up all the broken pieces of a person and putting them back together in an even more beautiful version.

jungkook's trust issues and taehyung's fear of falling for someone, those two broken pieces always made them lose hope but in the end it turned out to be the perfect match. what both needed was someone to relate to, someone to hold onto and someone who would never leave.

life had shown them how much loving someone can hurt but after all, at least they knew now what real love felt like.
there wasn't sunshine all the time, no butterflies on 24/7 mode-, no. flowers don't grow without a little rain and butterflies can't fly without a little rest from time to time.

learning to love the rain and the butterfly's rest, that's what love is all about.
they knew that now.
