taehyung focus
taehyung opens the door of his dorm with a smile on his face - he was excited to see jungkook again and thank him for his gift.

he frowns, however, when he spots jungkook half dangling off his bed, wearing little to no clothes except his black boxers, and he stank of heady sweat, alcohol, and vomit topped it all off.

"oh ew." taehyung breathes as he enters the dorm, closing the door behind him and deposited his travel bag on the floor with a soft thud.
he wanders over to an unconscious jungkook and raises an eyebrow at the red lipstick marks peppered on his muscled torso.

a stream of something pungent floated through the room to his nostrils - coming from the bathroom. he wanders over to the bathroom and nearly throws up at the intense smell of vomit. he lifts the neck of his sweater up to his nose, as if to block the smell.
not looking at the vomit curdling in the sink, taehyung gingerly lifts the plug by the chain and tugs on it. he's cringing as he turns on both hot and cold taps and waits for the vomit to disappear down the drain.

feeling disgusted and possibly about to throw up, taehyung hastily exits the bathroom and makes his way to jungkook. he was irritated at the younger and found himself standing above jungkook's motionless body and taking his forefinger and thumb - and pinching jungkook's (impressively huge) bicep hard.

he glares at jungkook as he's startled awake, peeling his bleary eyes to look at taehyung.
"ow, what the fuck taehyung?" he curses, rubbing his bicep with his other hand. taehyung says nothing, and instead glowers at the younger.

"ow - shit." jungkook hisses when he spots the nail marks indented into his skin.

"that's what you get for making me deal with your vomit." taehyung finally speaks, grunting with distaste.

"what're you doing back here?" jungkook asks, bringing a hand to his forehead to massage the pounding headache he was experiencing.
"fuck, my head."

"i wanted to come back to say happy new years and to finish off an art project." taehyung says, annoyed.

"oh and a thank you would be much appreciated - you know, for clearing up your sick up." taehyung huffs, walking over to his bedside table to sift through the drawers to find his tablets for headaches. he passes it to jungkook with a bottle of water sitting on his desk - he does this all with irritation.

"oh thanks." jungkook says, gratefully taking the tablets and water.

"after you've eaten the tablet - take a shower." taehyung orders, nose wrinkling at the stench of sweat.

"mm, later. my headache is killing me." jungkook murmurs, falling back on to his pillow with a low groan.

"nuh uh, you're taking a shower right now. you smell." taehyung sniffs. "and a warm shower'll help ease the headache."

"too lazy." jungkook says, turning over to avoid taehyung's pointed glare.

"jungkook, seriously."

"taehyung, seriously." jungkook mimics, his voice high and joking.

taehyung wasn't in a joking mood.

"jungkook, my voice isn't like that." he grits out.

"taehyung, just let me sleep a little more. you know what, why don't you come and sleep as well?" jungkook says, turning around and catching taehyung's wrist, tugging the older to fall on top of him.

"nngh, your sheets stink as well." taehyung groans, struggling to get out of jungkook's tight embrace.

"just fall asleep, taehyung."

"not with your body smells fucking assaulting my nostrils."

"so," jungkook hums randomly, "how was your holidays?"

"very nice - it was a little loud with my cousins but overall pretty good. now, go take a shower-"

"and your birthday? did you get my cake and flowers?" he quips, ignoring taehyung's grumbles.

taehyung smiles a little, "yeah, they were really pretty."
his smile drops, "now take a showe-"

"okay okay, i will but on one condition."

"what?" taehyung asks, exasperated. jungkook looks at him with a grin.

"you shower with me."

". . ."
taehyung breathes out through his nose deeply. he purses his lips and tries to contain the last of his irritation but he fails. he reaches over to jungkook's bicep and pinches him again, harder than before.

"ah ah, ow!" jungkook immediately releases taehyung from his hold, his hands going to nurse the claw marks on his now pink tinged skin.
"the fuck, tae?"

"shower, now."

"jeez, okay. fine, just don't freaking pinch me." jungkook mutters, dragging himself out of bed and stormed to the bathroom. taehyung, satisfied, lets himself smile at the younger's grunts.

                                 +

after a long shower, jungkook emerges from the bathroom with a scowl on his face.

"you didn't have to pinch me," he grunts, inspecting the fading crescent shaped marks on his upper arm. he takes his towel and rubs the material against his wet hair, glaring at taehyung who wordlessly unpacked his travel bag.

"i had to, otherwise you'd have killed me with how bad you smelt." taehyung says, pointedly. "i changed your sheets by the way - you owe me something."

"oh yeah? then want do you want? a new year kiss?" jungkook grins, leaning against the edge of taehyung's desk.

taehyung rolls his eyes, "just buy me chocolate milk later."

"yeah, okay whatever." jungkook mumbles, seeming distant. taehyung looks up at this, he stares at jungkook who studies his phone with an unreadable expression. his hand gripping his phone tightly - his knuckles turning white.

"jungkook?" jungkook looks up and stares blankly at taehyung.
"hm?"

"um, you okay?" taehyung ventures.

jungkook immediately grins, "of course, why wouldn't i? it's new years! do you want to go to the canteen now and get the chocolate milk?"

taehyung looks back at the last piece of clothing left to be folded away, "uh yeah, sure. lemme just put this away." he says.

seconds later, they're out of the dorm and walking outside toward the not too far canteen. jungkook's phone vibrates various times, alerting him of messages but he doesn't bother answering, making taehyung eye him with curiosity.

they arrive at the canteen, jungkook making jokes and ignoring his phone notifications and taehyung laughing along and wondering who kept messaging jungkook.

"uh, can you go and pay for the chocolate milk? ive gotta do something." jungkook says, handing taehyung a note to pay with. taehyung nods and walks to the counter, grabbing the chocolate milk from the fridge and paid for them. he turns around to see jungkook frowning deeply at his phone once again.

taehyung walks back and holds jungkook's chocolate milk in front of him. "is everything okay? you keep frowning at your phone." taehyung starts.

jungkook shakes his head, smiling again as he switched off his phone. "it's nothing, this is mine right?" he says, taking the chocolate milk.

"so do you have anything planned today?" he asks and taehyung thinks. he had the art project to finish but he could always do that tomorrow.

"no." he says.
jungkook grins, "then shall we officially start the last week of me-trying-to-win-your-heart with a date?"

"sure." taehyung smiles, glad that the younger was relieved of the angry frown he had on earlier.
