"He's going to buy you a collar?"

Taehyung hummed before happily biting a piece off his chicken sandwich.

The omega was sitting in the park with his newly made friends. It was chilly outside but the students had dressed for it, their thick scarfs and coats shielding them from the wind. The coffee shop was closed for the day and so the group had decided to spent their lunch break outside, sitting on the dry grass.

His fellow omega friend grinned at him from his place in the circle. "I'm happy for you Taehyung", Woozi beamed, "Do you know when you'll get it?"

"I told him not to spend too much time looking for one because I'm happy with whatever he chooses", Taehyung explained.

"He's bound to look for something he likes", Hye Jin spoke up, sipping from her strawberry slushie, "The collar will represent your bond with him, your devotion to him, so I think he'll be searching for a while until he finds the perfect collar".

Taehyung found himself growing redder at the imagine of Jungkook browsing through online shops, finding the perfect collar for him. He'd probably try to image the collar wrapped around his omega's neck and the thought only made Taehyung giddy inside.

"Oh Taehyung, we meant to ask you. Are you free next Friday?", Leedo then asked, snapping the omega's attention away from his daydream. Taehyung hummed.

Of course he was free, he was always free. It's not like he had any other friends to make plans with. "Yes, why?"

"We're going out", Woozi grinned, "They're throwing a seventies party in one of the frat bars near college. We're dressing up too!"

The group then stared at Taehyung, waiting for his response. "Sure", he smiled, "That sounds like fun. But I don't think I have anything to dress up with".

"Don't worry", Hye Jin immediately replied, "Yong Sun and I are experts in this field".

And then the group rattled on about potential costumes they could wear and if they should match. Somewhere in the conversation Abba was thrown around and then "We can go as the Village People and sing YMCA all night!"

Taehyung hadn't gone to a college party before, especially not one with a theme. The thought made him smile and his fingers itched to dial Jungkook's number and tell him the news. But he didn't because he had made a promise that he'd wait for the alpha to make a first move for once.

After lunch with his friends he went back home, the others having classes in the afternoon.

As he skipped up the steps, humming a light tune, his nose picked up on a familiar scent. He came to halt in front of the person standing next to his door, holding a neatly bound box. "Hi", Jungkook smiled, wearing a big black hoodie and joggers, his hair still a bit damp.

"Hi", Taehyung replied, still dumbfounded. Jungkook had never visited him here before. He had helped Taehyung move in with his cousin but whenever they met up it was mostly somewhere in a café or the park. "You smell like chlorine".

Jungkook chuckled as he ruffled his wet locks. "I had swimming practice before coming here", he explained, "I tried washing out the smell but it sticks to me for days".

"S'alright", Taehyung smiled, now finally finding the strength in his legs again. He walked up to the alpha and went up to his tippy toes to press a kiss to Jungkook's lips. "I missed you".

Jungkook wrapped his one free arm around the boy's waist, keeping him close to deepen the kiss. Taehyung's cheeks flushed red, knowing that any of his neighbors could just step outside and watch them make out. He felt the alpha's tongue swipe across his bottom lip, the gesture familiar and the feeling of butterflies ever so prominent.

"We should step inside", Taehyung breathed out when they finally pulled apart. Jungkook grinned, the quirk of his lips boyish and his eyes twinkling. Taehyung felt his heart swell whenever he looked at the boy he fell in love with. He grabbed the alpha's smaller hand in his and unlocked the door before pulling him inside.

His cousin was out for work and so Taehyung finally had the liberty to pull Jungkook towards the couch and push him down. Jungkook chuckled when his back hit the white couch, his hair splaying out onto the white surface as Taehyung crawled onto his lap. "I missed you", the omega pouted before smothering the boy in kisses.

Jungkook once again pulled the omega close, his hands enclosing around the boy's love handles, his hips stuttering against the other's. Taehyung let out a low moan because of it and then felt his whole body run red. He let himself drop down, hiding his face in the other's chest.

The alpha noticed the other's embarrassment and ran a hand up and down the boy's back. "It's alright darling", Jungkook whispered, leaning up to kiss the omega's ear, who whined from the gesture. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about".

Taehyung knew that. Of course he knew that. It's just- it had been so long since they did something this intimate. It's not like they had sex all that many times. Sure, over the course of them living together it happened, but then when they moved to Seoul, it kind of stopped.

"It- it's just", the omega began to mumble, "It's been a while and- it all feels new".

Jungkook wasn't one to be upset about things like this. It's not as if he had a lot of experience. "I understand darling", he spoke up softly, "It's the same for me".

Though his words said one thing, his hands contradicted his statement. For they wandered to a place he had been wanting to get his hands on ever since their camping trip. Taehyung whimpered when he felt his bottom being squeezed and he quickly shuffled up, now facing Jungkook again. "You have very naughty hands mister", he narrowed his eyes at the older.

The alpha's infamous cheeky grin spread out on his lips, "They just like to wander. I can't help that". His hands had gone back to settle on the boy's hips, his thumbs now rubbing soothing circles on the exposed tan skin.

"Also-", Taehyung suddenly seemed to remember, "Didn't you bring a box with you?"

The alpha's eyes widened and then looked around, "Yes, but I think I threw it somewhere in the rush of you wanting to get me on this couch".

Taehyung chuckled and with a roll of his eyes he swooped the package from the ground where Jungkook had thrown the thing before he ended up on the couch. "What is it?", he asked, his eyes curiously examining the polka dot paper.

"Open it and see for yourself", the alpha winked, hands now wandering under the boy's yellow sweater. Taehyung ignored the lingering touches, spreading fireworks all over his skin as he ripped the paper off the box.

It wasn't a big box but it wasn't small either. Taehyung's heart beat picked up speed when he noticed just what size the box was, it was perfect to fit-

"A collar!"

His eyes sparked in joy and Jungkook smiled as he watched his mate grab onto the silver collar he had chosen to buy. It was a soft collar, not one of those belt like ones, and it was silver of color. At the edges it was lined with light blue and green colors and on the inside their initials were engraved.

"Jungkook", Taehyung's eyes had been filling with tears, his finger tentatively running over their initials, "It's beautiful. This must have cost a lot".

The alpha shrugged, "Nothing you don't deserve".

Taehyung lightly punched the other on the chest, "Thank you. Though it really looks too expensive for us".

"It was really not that expensive", Jungkook assured him, "Now, you remember the rules?"

The omega nodded, eyes still stuck on the pretty collar, "Yes yes, I won't wear it around my friends or you, only in class".

But he was so surely going to wear it when going out with his friends. He wanted everyone to know he had the best mate in the world.

"Good", Jungkook smiled, "Now give me a kiss?"

Taehyung rolled his eyes and dropped himself down again, lips meeting in a messy & giggly kiss.
