SLAM DUNK

"h-h-hi g-ggukie." tae whispers, his cheeks tinted a bright pink as he fiddles with his sweater paws.

"hi baby." jeongguk smiles softly at the smaller, pressing a soft kiss on his forehead.

the pinkette's eyes dart around the hallway of the college to find all eyes on the couple.
due to having anxiety, the boy begins to shiver a little as he leans into jeongguk's arms.

"e-e-everyone's watching g-g-ggukie." tae stutters, fisting jeongguk's shirt and burying his face into the taller's wide chest.

jeongguk wraps his arms around tae's small waist, holding him delicately.
treating him like a feather, afraid that he's going to break like fragile glass at any moment.

"yah! nothing to see here." jeongguk says, glaring at everyone in the hallway.

the jump, startled by the sudden warning by the popular basketball player and continue what they were doing before.

"all better now hm?" jeongguk whispers, tracing soft patterns on tae's waist.

tae doesn't say anything, nor does he show signs of retracting from jeongguk's arms.
the older chuckles softly and pulls his precious baby closer to him, hugging him tightly.

soon, the smaller pulls his head out of jeongguk's chest with pink cheeks.
his baby pink oversized sweater falling off his right shoulder to expose his delicious looking unmarked collarbone.

jeongguk licks his lips and pulls the boy's shirt up, covering the exposed shoulder.
the pinkette blushed even more at the action.

"i-i-i'm sorry g-ggukie." tae mumbles, feeling ashamed that someone needed to take care of him because of his anxiety.

"why bun? you did nothing wrong my precious gem." jeongguk coos, intertwining his fingers with tae's smaller but long ones.

"b-because y-you always h-h-have to p-protect me since i h-have a-anxiety. i d-depend o-on you t-too m-much. y-you d-d-deserve someone b-b-better then me." the shorter whispers, his heart clenching at the words.

"gem, i love how you depend on me because i get to care for you and protect you as i like. i don't care if you have anxiety, i'll always be there for you my sweet. and you're the best there is for me baby, only you are meant for me." jeongguk presses their foreheads together, smiling at the few tears that had escaped tae's doe eyes.

"i l-love y-you so m-much ggukie." tae whispers, his bottom lip wobbling.

"i love you too bun." jeongguk pecks tae's plump lips softly, cooing after at the flustered looking pinkette.

______________

walking out of his classroom at the last bell of the day, tae hugs his books close to him.
his head down and his hair falling over his forehead as he takes small but quick steps towards his locker to avoid everyone.

however, fate didn't want that.

"hey nerd, over here princess." a voice behind him calls out as he tightens his hold on the books, not liking the attention one bit.

"yah! don't fucking ignore me." the voice booms and tae was yanked to turn around.

the smaller whimpers in fear as the harsh grip on tae's shoulder causes him pain.
now, everyone in the hallway stares at the short pinkette in an oversized sweater as well as the three bullies that nobody likes.

"scared princess?" a male with orange hair smirks, leaning down, too close for his liking.

the smaller lets out a soft whimper, turning away and pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, casting his eyes downwards.

as soon as he notices all eyes on him, the anxiety kicks in and everything is just chaos.
the voices whisper that they're talking about him, they're judging him, all things negative and it's too much go for the fragile boy.

tears well up in his eyes when he finds himself on the ground, books sprawled around him and his glasses a few inches away from the bully.

"pay attention when i'm talking princess. i don't it when someone doesn't listen." the male growls and lifts tae's chin up harshly erupting a soft, painful whimper from him as well as a few tears cascading down his cheeks.

"and i don't like it when someone touches what's mine." a loud, angry voice startles the entire hallway and they turn their heads to the sound of the oh-so familiar voice.

the orange haired bully's eyes widen and he immediately lets go of tae's chin as he sees jeongguk advancing forward with an angry expression on his face.

"j-jeongguk." the male breaths out.

jeongguk shoots daggers at the three boys but ignores them and tends to his boyfriend.
the ravenette kneels down and cups his baby's cheeks, wiping the tears that escape his eyes.

the smaller begins to breath heavily and he curls up, scooting backwards until his back hits the lockers, telling jeongguk that he's having a massive panic attack.

"hey, hey, baby. i'm here, no one is going to hurt you my sweet. everything's okay now. shhh, breathe with me." jeongguk whispers, cupping the smaller's soft cheeks again.

"follow my breathing baby, i'm here. i'm right here gem." tae begins to focus on jeongguk, and jeongguk only and begins to follow his breathing and soon calms down.

as soon as he comes back to reality, tears flow out of his eyes rapidly as he shakes violently.
jeongguk takes the smaller into his arms and rubs his baby's back softly.

he turns his head to the three boys, glaring at them in hatred for making tae cry.
the older could feel tae crying softly into his shirt as well as fisting it harshly.

"his books, bag and glasses." jeongguk grits his teeth, staring at all the items before looking back to the three standing boys.

immediately they grab all of tae's things, placing them beside the couple with clammy hands as nervousness is their veins.

"thank you, now go. and never mess with my baby." jeongguk growls, tightening his hold.

the boys nod fearfully, turning around and running out of the corridor.

"stop staring, don't y'all have something better to do? if you can stare, you could've helped right?" jeongguk asks, venom infused is every word he spits out as the crowd hangs their head in shame before apologising and walking away from the scene.

soft hiccups and sniffles were heard from the smaller boy that was in his arms and he smiles fondly, heart clenched from his baby crying.

"my sweet, it's okay now. it's just you and me baby." jeongguk whispers, gently bringing the boy out of his chest.

the older cups tae's cheeks, leaning down and capturing his lips in a sweet kiss.
the pinkette squeaks out softly in surprise but melts into the kiss, holding onto jeongguk's forearms that are cupping his cheeks.

they pull away, resting their foreheads against each other's, staring deeply and lovingly.

"my sweet beautiful baby." jeongguk smiles gently and peppers his face with kisses.

soft giggles escapes tae's plump pink lips as blush spread on his squishy cheeks.
the ravenette smiles wildly once he sees his baby happy and his heart beats happily.

jeongguk picks up tae's glasses from beside him and gently helps tae wear it, not before pressing kisses on the boy's eyes.

after helping the smaller up and getting his bag, tossing his books into his locker, they walk hand-in-hand, out of the school.

"baby?" jeongguk calls out as they walk down the street, fingers tightly intertwined.

"y-yes ggukie?" tae replies, looking up at his boyfriend with big doe eyes through the pair of glasses that makes him look so so adorable and innocent, causing his heart to explode.

"fuck, you're so beautiful baby. so so beautiful. and so adorable, how is my heart still beating." jeongguk mumbles causing the poor, shy boy to blush profusely and he lets out a shy whimper.

"g-g-ggukie ~" tae whines, pushing himself closer to jeongguk's side causing him to laugh in amusement form the shorter's antics.

"anyways, baby, i have basketball practice tomorrow and i would like you to meet my teammates." jeongguk explains, knowing fully that tae does not like meeting new people.

"b-but g-g-ggukie. i-i'm scared." tae whispers, his eyes now showing all emotions of fear and worry, his hands start to sweat and he could feel his heart beating erratically.

"calm down gem, i'll be there the whole time. i promise baby, they will never ever hurt you." jeongguk says softly, threading his fingers through tae's hair as they had stopped.

"p-promise?" tae asks, holding out his pinky.

"i promise bun." jeongguk links his pinky.

jeongguk smiles softly and kisses his baby sweetly, wrapping his arms around tae's waist.

"i'll come tomorrow morning okay? and then we can walk together."

tae just nods, not wanting to let go of the taller.
his lips curve into a small smile from the addicting smell emitting form jeongguk.

"y-you smell n-nice." tae mumbles, looking up.

"do i now? what do i smell of that so nice gem?" jeongguk asks, curiosity taking over.

"l-l-like r-rain and vanilla!" tae squeals and interlocks his arms around jeongguk's neck, sniffing his scent from the crook of his neck.

"and you like theses smells baby?"

"mmhmm." tae nods.

"i love you a lot ggukie. like a lot a lot." tae smiles sweetly, his boxy smile out.

"i love you too my sweet. and your precious smile." jeongguk rubs their noses together.

______________

– the next day –

"m' hungry ggukie ~" tae whines, swinging their intertwined hands back and forth.

"alright alright. we'll get some waffles. how about that baby?" jeongguk asks as they continue down the road towards the indoor basketball court.

"yes!" tae giggles.

the older smiles.

"i love that you're so happy today baby. and how you wore my sweater." jeongguk chuckles and pulls his baby into the waffle store.

walking up to the counter, tae fiddles with his glasses as his cheeks heat up from what his boyfriend had said just seconds ago.

[^ black framed ones]

happily munching on his waffles, the boy did not let go of jeongguk's hand at all.
although he was eating, tae holds onto jeongguk's larger hand tightly.

"bite?" jeongguk pleads.

"give me a reason to." tae giggles cutely.

jeongguk leans down and pecks tae's soft lips causing the boy to blush profusely.
he then shoves the waffle into jeongguk face, casting his red face downwards.

"my adorable gem." jeongguk chuckles, taking a small bite of the waffle since he already had his breakfast and tae didn't.

– time skip : at the basketball court –

entering the basketball court, jeongguk leads his boyfriend to the bleachers where he sits down and places his bag beside him.

the taller the changes his shoes as tae scans the entire court, jeongguk admiring the boy in front of him.

adorable height but with long tan legs, a small frame that's easy to cuddle and hug, a juicy, perky ass, sweet curves in all the right places.

not forgetting his beautiful face with soft features, a sharp jawline contrasts his puppy doe eyes perfectly, his circular glasses that brings out the chocolate brown orbs of his eyes that hold innocence and love.

the ravenette snaps out of his thoughts when the boy he was admiring is sitting on his lap, his face buried in his chest and his hands tightly looped around his neck.

"what's wrong baby?" jeongguk asks in worry, his arms now around tae's waist.

"n-noises." tae whispers, shifting around his lap so he straddles the older.

jeongguk squints and stares at the entrance of the court and sees the door open.
he pats tae's butt softly signally him to get off and the boy does.

jeongguk then stands up, the smaller already hiding behind, his hand clasping jeongguk's with an iron grip.

"yo gguk!" jimin cheers and in comes a group of five wearing casual clothing.

"hey guys!" jeongguk smiles, the newcomers still oblivious to the living soul that's standing behind jeongguk, scared to death.

after greeting everyone, jeongguk decides to introduce his precious baby to his best friends.

"guys, i'd like you to meet someone." jeongguk clears his throat, gently tugging on tae's hand.

"do we finally we get to met your infamous boyfriend that you've been non stop blabbering about?" jin asks, getting an eye roll from jeongguk and sniggers from the rest.

"actually yes, yes you are." jeongguk nods proudly, glaring at them playfully.

"finally!" hoseok claps his hands.

"well? where is he?" namjoon asks as everyone turn their heads to the entrance waiting for someone to walk through the doors.

"he's right here you idiots." jeongguk laughs.

"yah! respect you elders. but where?" yoongi shows the middle finger to the younger before laughing softly at his expression, as well as the rest.

jeongguk pulls the smaller from behind him, wrapping his arms around tae's waist for him to feel a little at ease.

gasps were heard throughout the court as everyone looks at the ethereal beauty that is standing in front of him.

"woah." hoseok whispers is disbelief at how beautiful the boy is.

"holy fuck." yoongi whispers as well.

"hot damn." jimin mumbles a little to loud causing tae's entire body to go red.

his squeals in embarrassment and tune around, latching himself onto jeongguk.

"baby, come on, don't be shy. they're my best friends and i really want you to get to know them." jeongguk whispers, tae still not moving.

"please gem? for me?" the ravenette pleads.

"o-okay." tae mumbles in defeat, he'd do anything for his boyfriend.

"guys, this is my boyfriend, kim taehyung. or tae for short. he um, he's very very shy and is very nervous around new people." jeongguk explains softly, tae gripping his hand.

"he's so fucking adorable!" jimin squeals and claps his hands, walking closer.

tae giggles and studies each and every one of their faces, noticing all the details.
he pushes his glasses in places and continues to fiddles with his sweater paws, still holding onto jeongguk's hand, never letting go.

"hi taetae, i'm park jimin. i'm his hyung but he never calls me hyung. fucking disrespectful." jimin curses, glaring at jeongguk before smiling sweetly, showing off his eye smile, at tae.

"m-minnie hyungie." tae giggles at the new nickname he had just made up.

"minnie?" the blond chuckles.

"y-you d-d-don't like it?" tae asks, his eyes showing all signs of fear.

"n-no i do. that's a new one, it's cute." jimin ruffles tae's soft hair lightly.

jeongguk smile proudly at his baby.
he's finally coming out of his shell.

"i'm kim seokjin. the oldest but the best looking. and you are now my baby." jin cups tae's soft cheeks, squishing them around.

"j-jinnie hyungie." tae whispers, smiling a little.

"ahhh! his innocence is warmth to my heart." the tall brunette gushes before petting tae's head softly.

"HI! i'm jung hoseok! and i'll always be your hope and your angel!" hoseok cheers loudly.

"h-hobi hyungie?" tae says, as if he was testing out how it sounded.

"so! cute!" the fiery red haired male shakes in his spot before ruffling the boy's hair.

the shorter giggles at how hyper hoseok is.

"i'm kim namjoon. and no, i'm not related to that retard over there." namjoon points at jin who gasps offendedly.

"yah!" jin slaps the back of namjoon's head.

the pinkette giggles softly at the interaction between the duo in front of him.
slapping a sweater paw in front of his mouth when everyone stares at the boy.

"you're so cute, my heart can't." the purple haired male breaths out before smiling, showing off his attractive dimples.

"and i'm min yoongi. i treasure my sleep, but basketball is a must. i'm the only person who's better than gguk here." yoongi smirks at the pouting ravenette behind tae.

"y-yoonie hyungie." tae whispers, in awe at how pale the older is.

"adorable." the mint haired male mumbles before tapping tae's cheeks softly and giving the younger his gummy smile.

the group settle down at the bleachers, already hooked into a conversations that's slowly turning into a debate.

"so, how do you like they bun?" jeongguk asks softly, caressing tae's cheek.

"t-they're nice." tae answers, oblivious to the fact that the rest were watching them.

"hey taetae?" jimin calls out, startling the younger who looks up wide eyes.

"y-y-yes minnie h-hyungie?" tae answer softly.

"why do you stutter so much? and talk to softly? not to be rude, or intrude if you don't fee comfortable with explaining." jimin smiles softly, wanting tae to trust him, and so he does.

"i-i-i have s-social a-a-anxiety." tae whispers, afraid of being judged.

jeongguk settles an arm on tae's waist, showing the younger that he's there for him.
the smaller could feel tears welling up in his eyes from the fear of being laughed at.

"hey, taetae. don't cry, please. we won't judge you okay? those who do are idiots." jimin says softly, standing in front of the boy.

tae looks up and the boys could feel their hearts clenching at how innocent and soft the pinkette looked.

"r-really?"

"yes, really taetae. we're family now." jimin brings the boy into a hug.

– time skip –

about an hour later, the six boys were sweating bullets as tae sits on the bleachers admiring the game, squealing at certain times.

he's finally opened up to new people, well, just jeongguk's best friends, which is very very good for him.

it's like taking a huge step just to talk to them, let alone make friends and stay friends.
the pinkette couldn't be happier when he finally felt comfortable with the group.

"hey tae!" yoongi shouts, gaining his attention.

"y-yes yoonie hyungie?"

"come here."

tae pouts, but fixes his glasses and walks over, smiling wildly but also scrunching up his nose at the strong stench of sweat around him.

"try shooting hun." jin says.

jimin passes the ball over to the boy, who looked way too afraid of the ball then anything.

"just aim, and throw." hoseok smiles.

tae stretches his arms up, aiming for the red lined box on the headboard so it would bounce off nicely and fall in the net.

he throws but alas, the ball didn't go in.

this causes the pinkette to pout sadly as he had expectations to please his hyungs.

"that's alright taehyungie." namjoon smiles.

jeongguk, without tae knowing, scoops the boy up and places him on his shoulders, which causes tae to squeak in surprises.

"he even makes the cutest noises. he's too pure for the world." yoongi breaths out.

tae blushes and giggles softly, placing a soft kiss on jeongguk's sweaty forehead.

"now try gem." jeongguk chuckles as namjoon throws the ball over.

tae smiles softly, jeongguk walks closer to the net and the younger throws the ball in.
it goes into the net beautifully, erupting cheers from the boys and tae to show his one of a kind boxy smile to them.

"so. fucking. cute." jimin says.
