The Dreamland

It was around 10 in the night that Taehyung woke up, feeling tired and exhausted. He sat up tiredly and turned around to stretch when his eyes fell on the boy sitting on the couch, only he was asleep. For a second, Taehyung thought he was dreaming because how could Jungkook be sleeping on his couch that too this late at night. But then the events from earlier came in his mind and he remembered how he had passed out at the door.

His throat felt dry and he went to grab the bottle but his weakness made him lose the grip of the bottle and Jungkook woke up due to the noise.

Taehyung looked at him apologetically and spoke, " sorry for disturbing your sleep. I needed some water."

Jungkook stood up stretching and came to pour a glass of water.

"How are you feeling now?" He said, handing over the glass of water.

"Tired." He said sipping it.

"You passed out at the door so I brought you in. Your parents kept calling so I texted them from your phone saying all was good. I figured they would worry. Sorry for getting into your phone."

"That's fine. You did the right thing." Taehyung smiled weakly.

There was a pin drop silence before Jungkook spoke again.

"I will heat the porridge for you. You haven't eaten anything. Then you can get the medicine and sleep. I will leave after that."

"At this hour?" Taehyung asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. I have my bike."

Taehyung hesitated for a while and spoke, "You can stay if you want."

Jungkook was surprised with the suggestion but then he thought the boy needed help. It wouldn't hurt to spend a night there he thought .

"Alright, should I leave bike out or park it in?"

"It's a safe neighborhood. Don't worry."

"Do you want to go downstairs or should I bring it up here?" Jungkook asked.

"I can come down-" Taehyung was speaking getting off the bed, when his knees buckled and he was about to fall down when Jungkook rushed to him.

"I beg to differ." Jungkook spoke. "But if you really want to step down, then I can help you down. Do you mind if I carry you?"

For someone who always appeared so cocky, Jungkook sure did ask for permissions before things and Taehyung was loving that attribute.

"Sure. Thank you."

But when he meant carrying, he thought he would help him walk. But he left a squeak when Jungkook bent down and carried Taehyung in a bridal style in his arms.

Taehyung's hand automatically went and grabbed around Jungkook's neck, lightly.

"Did you lose all your weight or something? You are light as a feather."

"Or maybe you're are to muscly."

"Oh so you have checked my body out?" Jungkook chuckled as he stepped down on the staircase.

"Ashole" he muttered under his mouth.

Jungkook placed him on the  counter and went on to heat the porridge. He poured some juice for himself and proceeded to pour the food in a bowl.

Taehyung looked at the boy in awe. The same boy who acts so cocky and indifferent to him at school was all sweet and caring when they were together. The cheesy and dirty remarks were there obviously but it was within a limit, not to a point of uneasiness.

"Bon apetit." Jungkook spoke placing the bowl in front of Taehyung.

"What about you? Aren't you eating anything?"

Jungkook lifted his glass of juice and spoke, "My gym instructor has strictly mentioned not to eat any food after 6. I had heavy dinner before I came here. I will accompany you with the juice."

"You have time to go the gym? How do you manage everything. I can barely pass school."

"Uhmmm, well I might have a doppelgänger" Jungkook joked.

"Two of you in this world, that would be chaotic Jungkook."

"You called me Jungkook, not an ashole. Is the world coming to an end?" Jungkook joked again.

"Drama queen." Taehyung chuckled and ate his porridge.

Soon Jungkook helped him with the dishes and they crashed at the couch to watch a movie. The both of them had slept earlier and felt fresh at the moment.

Do you want to watch anything?" Taehyung asked to his guest.

"I like horror" Jungkook mocked, knowing well the boy was nervous.

"Ha ha ha very funny. We will watch the Incredibles 2." He rolled his eyes and put the movie on.

Taehyung was enjoying the movie to his best when he saw Jungkook head upstairs. For a second, he thought the boy must have gone to the washroom but then he saw him bringing his meds and blanket and for some reason, his heart felt warm, like it did when they were in the light house.

"Take your meds. You were suppose to take them at 10." Taehyung obeyed and took the meds and felt Jungkook putting the blanket on him. Why was his heart beating so fast?

He tried to ignore the feeling and concentrated on the movie. Occasionally, Jungkook could hear sweet giggles and he swears to god those were the cutest sounds. Time and again, he would look at the boy who was completely immersed in the movie.

As the movie proceeded, Jungkook found himself hooked on to but as the movie was approaching the end, he felt a light weight on his shoulder, only to see the boy had fallen asleep. He figured the meds must have kicked in.

"He sure does know to fall down and fall asleep anywhere." Jungkook chuckled and slowly laid him down. He closed the movie and tv and carried the boy upstairs who looked like a little puppy. Jungkook's heart did a couple of flips at the sight. He gently placed the boy on his bed and grabbed a pillow.

"Goodnight shorty" he whispered and turns around when he felt a hand grab his wrist.

"Sleep here. The couch is uncomfortable." Taehyung murmured half asleep.

"That's fine Tae."

"I insist" Taehyung spoke and moved to the side, leaving space for the boy to get in.

Jungkook was puzzled but then the thought, what harm would it to do share the bed with Taehyung. He tugged the blanket up for both and turned off the light, both off to dreamland.
