Taehyung stirred awake with tired eyes to a sun lit ceiling and a big furry paw slung over his chest.

He'd hardly slept a wink.

His mind tossing and turning over the same thing.

He'd called the pound last night and unfortunately no one had reported Prince lost. He would just have to take him back to where he found him and hope he could find his way somehow. That he would be safe on his own.

But why did the prospect make Taehyung feel so uneasy?

Carefully, he slipped out from under Prince's paw. Getting out of the bed to pad across to the dresser and look in the mirror. He cringed at what he saw.

His light brown hair was tousled- pointed in all directions, his cheeks were puffy, he had bags under his eyes and the t-shirt and boxers he'd slept in were severely creased from how much he'd restlessly rolled around in them.

He looked like shit.

Taehyung sighed as he walked over to the door and opened it, looking down the hall toward the kitchen.

His grandmother would usually be up by now.

"Grandma?" he called, then he heard a high pitched voice respond to him from the bedroom.

"I'm over here, dear!"

Rubbing his nose, Taehyung walked to his grandmother's bedroom where he found her buried in a big lump beneath the covers.

"Grandma, I'm going to make some breakfast did you wa-" Taehyung went to pull the blankets back, but shrieked when they were suddenly flung off. Revealing someone who was definitely not his grandmother.

"Surprise!" a voice shouted and Taehyung stumbled back.

His butt and palms met the bedside table as a dark haired male deftly sprung off the bed, then looked down with a frown and started to flap the sides of his checkered shirt.

"Now I smell like a damn ale house..." the male complained as Taehyung frantically studied him.

He was at least half a foot taller than him and built like a Greek God. The black jeans he wore clung to his defined legs and thick thighs, and although the clothes he wore up top weren't as fitted; the tell-tale tightening of material over his chest and arms made it obvious he was stacked. Everywhere.

Not that Taehyung cared for any of that right now.

His chin jutted. "Who the heck are you!?" he asked loudly, and the male stopped mid flap and looked up.

And they both froze.

The males entire body tensed as Taehyung's eyes rounded.

He'd never seen anyone so good looking before. The guy could be a model with that handsome face, superior bone structure and alabaster glass skin.

It only added to his defensiveness.

His eyes narrowed.

"I said. Who the heck are you?" he repeated more forcefully but it was clear the male wasn't listening.

His dark gaze met his for long moments before he leisurely took in every feature on Taehyung's face. The way he looked at him was consuming, savouring- as if he was the most beautiful person on earth and he'd been starved of the sight of him.

When his gaze dipped to his body- lingering on his exposed legs, he raised a shaking hand to run over his mouth.

"Furies, you're perfection," he rasped in a silken baritone. "Your picture doesn't do you justice."

Taehyung frowned as incredulity and self-consciousness started to tingle through him.

"L-look, whoever y-you are," he stammered curtly. "I don't know if you're tripping on acid or what, but you better get out of here be-before I call the police!" he tried, but the male just shook his head, floored.

"My mate is so cute," he muttered to himself. "Jeon Jungkook, how did you get so lucky?"

Clearly this was a mad man.

With a muttered curse, Taehyung dashed for the door but Jungkook got there first- with insane speed, and blocked his exit.

He gasped as he cornered him, trapping him bodily between his arms and the wall, then slowly leaned down, face angled to his throat and breathed in. Inhaling deeply.

"You smell amazing," he rumbled lowly from his chest. "Like fresh grass and an autumn sunset. Honey glazed ham and warm milk."

Taehyung gasped again. Frozen in shock as Jungkook placed his large hands on his hips and nuzzled his nose into his neck. His warm breaths tickling his skin.

"Wh-what are you doing?"

"Just a small sample," Jungkook growled, dragging his teeth over his pulse point. "Before the main course starts."

It sounded like he was going to bite him, so Taehyung shut his eyes tight and waited for the pain to come but it never did. Instead, Jungkook pressed his lips there. Kissing him softly.

"So tender and sweet," Jungkook husked, then placed another kiss just below Taehyung's bobbing adams apple. "You're going to taste so good."

Taehyung flinched; fingernails scraping against the wallpaper behind with discomfort as Jungkook's lips whispered up to the underside of his chin.

"By the way, love. Where is the dog?" he murmured against him, and Taehyung's eyes snapped open.

No, no not this! Not again!

Spurred out of his shocked stupor and into panic mode, Taehyung reached over to the nearby dresser, took hold of his grandmothers vintage vase and smashed it over Jungkook's head.
Shards of porcelain rained around them and Jungkook reared back, just enough to allow Taehyung to scuttle sideways and escape.

As he ran out he glanced back over his shoulder and saw Jungkook blinking at the spot Taehyung had once been as if confused by his actions.

He looked away and tore down the hall and into the kitchen. A whelp of horror escaping him at the sight of his grandmother sitting on the centre island in a large oven dish. Tied by her hands and feet, and gagged with a potato.

"Grandma!" he cried, and her eyes lit up as she started to squirm.

Taehyung rushed over to help but whirled around when Jungkook came stalking in behind him.

His grandmother let out a muffled scream as Taehyung sidled backwards, "You!" He pointed, "You stay away from us!"

He didn't stay away.

Jungkook continued closer- eyes big with concern. "Your pheromones are telling me you're stressed, love. I don't understand, did I do something wrong?" he asked, and Taehyung grabbed an eggplant off his grandmothers foot and chucked it at him.

The dick shaped vegetable bounced uselessly off his broad chest and onto the floor.

"Cannibalism is illegal you wackadoodle!" he yelled.

"Taehyung," Jungkook implored, tracking him around the island. "You don't have to be scared of me. I could never hurt you."

Taehyung launched another vegetable at him- an onion this time, which Jungkook easily dodged, then jumped for the door. But again Jungkook beat him to it. Barring it with his arm.

"Let's start again shall we?" he suggested, then leaned toward him and wiggled his eyebrows. "How about a date, beautiful? An overnight one preferably."

Taehyung dove under Jungkook's arm then ran across the hall to the cleaning closet.

There was a window close by so he lurched it open, did the same to the closet then grabbed a broom and turned around. Swinging it like a sword as Jungkook drew closer with raised hands, circling him.

"Soooo I'm starting to sense some resistance here," he said inanely, and Taehyung glared, then whacked him hard in the nose with the broom bristles.

Jungkook's head snapped back but other than that, it didn't do much. He just looked at Taehyung and sighed.

UGH! The dudes head must be made out of lead!

"Come on now," Jungkook ducked as Taehyung tried poking his face again. "Can't you at least give me a chance? Do you not like me physically? No- that can't be it... is it the clothes? Or the hair!?"

Taehyung huffed, changed his grip slightly on the broom and then proceeded to jab the pointy end of the stick right into his balls, which finally gave him a reaction he expected.

Jungkook yelped in pain and keeled over, cupping himself with a drawn out wheeze.

"Taehyung, baby, it would be better for both of us if you were a little more gentle with those!" he croaked.

Taehyung changed his grip again, then with a loud "Aaaaahhh!" charged at Jungkook with the bristle end of the broom, driving it into his chest and shoving him right out the open window.

Jungkook howled as he tumbled out, and Taehyung popped his head outside, just in time to see him fall directly into the alleyway dumpster. An old mattress cushioning his fall. Dust rising all around him on impact.

Taehyung grabbed the windowsill. "Sick coconut headed pervert!" he shouted down to the flabbergasted male, then slammed the window shut and rushed back to the kitchen to unplate his grandmother.

Quiz - Did you catch the song reference?

Poor Jungkook. The one person who doesn't like him is the one he wants! 😥

I had to change Jungkook's outfit in last chapter for something I've got planned in a future chapter.

Any questions? Feel free!
