It's just the way things go. Always has been. Jeon Jeongguk hates Kim Taehyung. The feeling is mutual. No one knows when it started, just know that since the two were pups, they never got along. Started as children, they would always race. Arguing over who was faster, who was stronger. Jeongguk always seemed to trail just a little bit behind Taehyung as kids and it was obvious that he despised him for it.

A few years later, things changed. Jeongguk got stronger, bulkier, faster—and Taehyung he too got stronger and faster, but his frame was thin. It remained thin. He couldn't really last in fights with Jeongguk anymore even though they still tried.

It wasn't until the head alpha pulled Jeongguk off of Taehyung when they were 13 and gave him an hour long scolding that he finally stopped fist fighting the other male but that doesn't mean they started to get along.

No, because Jeongguk hated Taehyung. Jeongguk hated Taehyung because Taehyung was the son of the head Alpha. Not only that Taehyung was a pure blood, which basically meant the role of head Alpha would go to him next. Jeongguk hated that.

Jeongguk since he presented early, as just a pup, dreamed of being head Alpha. It was a goal that seemed so far out of reach with Kim Taehyung around. Surely Alpha Namjoon isn't going to pass down his role to a regular boy when he himself birthed a pure blood.

Except now, they're both 19 and Jeongguk still hates Kim Taehyung but now? He thinks he has a chance of being head Alpha and he's going for it.

❈

"Watch where you're going asshole!" Taehyung shouts as he picks himself up from the ground, that Jeongguk accidentally bumped him into.

"Sorry Blondie, didn't see ya there. Looking pretty thin lately, yeah? Been avoiding the gym?" he smirks and Taehyung rolls his eyes.

With a hand on his hip Taehyung grins devilishly, "I get my exercise other ways Jeon-y boy—don't you worry about me."

Jeongguk rolls his eyes at Taehyung's statement. Always a crude one, ever since they discovered what hormones and ruts and heats were. Though Jeongguk hasn't heard of any rut partners for Taehyung—the wolf makes it evident that he has a lot of sex. It's infuriating, someone who is so close to being Head Alpha spends more time fucking Omega's than on themselves.

This is one of the many reasons why Jeongguk isn't so nervous about not being chosen anymore. Thinks all of his work with Alpha Namjoon and building himself to be a strong warrior has paid off.

"Just would hate for you to be passed up for Head Alpha because you're dick is too far in some Omega's ass." He waves a hand and walks off.

❈

Taehyung enters the pack house lounge laughing hysterically.

"What's got you so giggly, Taetae?" Yoongi asks and the man plops onto the couch next to him, hand on his stomach from laughter

"J-Jeong-guk s-still t-thinks I'm a-an A-Alpha" he gets out and the wolves around him bust up laughing.

"Wait, seriously? He really thinks you're still an Alpha?!" Hoseok shouts and Taehyung nods

"Oh my moon, this is glorious" Taehyung throws back his head still in fits of giggles "Oh God, I can't wait until my part this weekend where I officially present to the pack—holy he's gonna lose his shit."

Yoongi is laughing now too because Jeongguk has spent his whole life competing for the role of Head Alpha only to find out that his ONLY competition isn't even in the running.

"He's either going to punch you or fuck you, either way—I can't wait" Yoongi says, taking a drink of his soda and Taehyung smacks the drink out of his hand with an offended scoff.

❈

"Guk, c'mon enough at the gym alright. Wanna go for a run before the sun goes all the way down" Jimin whines

"Fine, fine, I'll only go if you promise not drag me to the party this weekend" he pants out and Jimin shakes his head

"Okay mr.I-swear-I'm-the-next-head-alpha, you have to be present for wolves presentation. You know this." Patting his shoulder as they begin to shift, preparing for their run

"ugh, but why must I be present for his presentation. He's a damn pure blood. We all know he's an Alpha" then he takes off not giving Jimin a chance to respond.

The leaves under Jeongguk's paws feel fantastic, every crumple makes him feel so strong. So empowered. He's darting through the trees, glances back to see Jimin's silhouette trailing behind, when he catches a whiff of something.

It's a mixture, he can't tell for certain. Thinks it smells of cucumbers and melons...maybe even a hint of Jasmine lingering around? All that he knows is that the essence is intoxicating. Suffocating. Has his nostrils flaring and his wolf comes to a dead halt.

Desperately wants to follow the scent but it's gone as quickly as he caught it. No idea which direction it went off to, he grows. Startling Jimin who just finally caught up to him. "You good Guk?" he hears through transmission and just nods before returning on their run.

Maybe he has a reason to show up at the party this weekend.

❈

After Jeongguk's little comment, Taehyung does actually decide to go to the gym. It's not because he has anything to prove but more that he doesn't want to be too thin. Once he presents and more people realize he is an Omega—despite literally nothing else being different about who he is as a person—people will treat him differently.

He knows this, is prepared for it. Knows he's going to get many courting offers and also knows that many will try to take advantage of him. Despite all of the comments he makes to Jeongguk, in an attempt to piss the other off, he's very much a virgin.

Remember that whole thing about the hatred being mutual? It's true. Taehyung does hate Jeongguk. Taehyung hates that Jeongguk hates him. Hates that the Alpha has never spared a second glance at Taehyung.

No matter how many times in all of their years growing up together that Taehyung tried to be nice to Jeongguk. The other didn't care—always saw him as a threat, not an ally.

Taehyung especially hated this whenever he started to realize that he was into guys because he'd be an absolute liar if he tried to say he wasn't attracted to Jeongguk. Well built—beautiful hair, incredible facial features and the fact that he is one of the strongest Alpha's around? Taehyung thinks it's really fucking hot.

So yeah, Taehyung hates Jeongguk.

Hates Jeongguk because Jeongguk would never even give him a chance.

❈

Taehyung knows many things about the pack. Knows who is courting who, is able to tell what most pups will present as, can tell you who is a trouble maker and who is someone to keep an eye on. He also knows everyone's business—business he shouldn't know.

Which is exactly how he knows that Jeon Jeongguk has never, ever, had a rut partner. The thought is hard to believe seeing as literally any of the Omegas in the pack would beg to help him with his ruts.

Not only that, Jeongguk has never agreed to helping someone through their heat. Says he has other priorities and Taehyung? He thinks that's admirable (read: fucking hot).

So whenever Taehyung is getting fitted for his clothes for the party, he maybe chooses something with mal intent. Just wants to at least try, seeing as Jeongguk hates him so much, to catch the Alpha's attention. Even if only to reject him the moment Jeongguk attempts anything.

Who is he kidding? Jeongguk wouldn't even try. Despises everything that Taehyung is. Always has.

❈

Their pack has a history of throwing insane parties. Music reverberating throughout the forests that neighboring packs come running to join in.

Jeongguk, hates parties. Thinks one of the first things he will do as Head Alpha would be to change the way they handle celebrations—a feast or a race instead of a raging party where all the wolves get drunk and the pups run wild.

He's leaned against the bar barely listening to whatever story Jimin is telling him whenever Taehyung walks in and Jeongguk? Really fucking hates Taehyung. Hates how damn pretty he can look sometimes because someone as infuriating as him shouldn't also be blessed by the moon goddess with unearthly looks as well.

He reaches back for a drink and throws it back with a scoff as he glares at Taehyung from across the room. A Pure Blood Alpha and insanely gorgeous... great.

Taehyung makes his way to the bar with a shit eating grin and Jeongguk wants to walk away, but he catches that scent. The scent from the woods, his whole body freezes and his jaw clenches. Taehyung knows the Omega who's scent that belongs too? As if his hatred for the man couldn't get any worse.

Jeongguk is pretty sure whoever owns that scent is his mate which makes it all the more frustrating to smell the alluring fragrance on Taehyung.

"Sup Jeon-y boy, enjoying yourself?" he purrs and Jeongguk rolls his eyes. Is about to retort something quick witted and smart ass-y but when he locks gazes with Taehyung he freezes again because is he wearing fucking glitter?

There's gold flakes dusted all over Taehyung's cheekbones, a little on his nose, dusting his exposed collar bone beautifully and Jeongguk is so fucking angry... "Why do you have to look like that?!" he blurts out and causes Jimin to choke on his drink

"Excuse me?" Taehyung responds, shocked as well but playing coy "What's wrong Gukkie, too manly for some glitter?" he winks, turning on his heels to walk away. Knowing full well that the jeans hugging his ass are impeccable.

Maybe... just maybe... he might have a chance.

❈

Jeongguk is a wise man. Is proud of the breadth of knowledge that he's accumulated over his 19 years, thinks he is a good people reader too. So you can imagine his surprise whenever Alpha Namjoon takes to the state to announce Taehyung.

The blonde male strides across the stage in his infuriatingly beautiful glory—making Jeongguk seethe only to make his heart drop to his feet when he hears the words Pure Blood Omega.

"No fucking way" he whispers to himself and Jimin laughs next to him, "Yeah—uh pretty sure you're the only one from our age group that didn't know. It's been obvious since what like age 15??"

Jeongguk sputters "W-what do you mean obvious?! How the fuck has it been obvious?!"

Jimin makes an incredulous look and flicks Jeongguk's forehead "For one, have you fucking seen him? What Alpha do you know that looks like that. Even the female Alpha's can't hold a candle to him. For TWO, um maybe the fact that he's been m.i.a for 9 days every month since we were teens."

Jeongguk's mouth is gaped open when realization sinks in, because holy shit. Taehyung is an Omega. He should be happy, through the moon, ecstatic that he no longer has any real competition for Head Alpha.

He isn't though. He's fucking fuming. Looks around and locks gazes with the man of the hour before rushing over to him.

"Blondie!" he yells out through gritted teeth and Taehyung looks back over his shoulder with a smile that makes Jeongguk want to scream.

"Hey Gukkie, how's it goin?" his voice is deep, low, sultry, all of the things it shouldn't be. All of the words Jeongguk never would've used to describe his voice before.

"Why have you let me think all this time that you're an Alpha?! You get off on fighting with me or what?!" he shouts and Taehyung shoves a glitter dusted finger into his chest

"YOU are the one CONSTANTLY picking fights with ME" he scolds before walking away, heading straight to the dancefloor and leaving Jeongguk gaping.

❈

This is bad. He knows it. Knows he should not be looking at Taehyung like this but fuck he's had a few shots and that damn gold glitter is illuminating the entire dance floor as Taehyung makes his way around it.

Laughing and dancing and moving his body in ways he shouldn't. Jeongguk feels his fingers twitch every time he sees some wolf touch Taehyung. Whether it be a tap on the shoulder, grazing of hands or especially a hand on his lower back—dangerously close to his glorious behin—yeah Jeongguk is fucking annoyed.

Jeongguk hates Taehyung. Hates how irresistible he is. Hates the way his legs move with a mind of their own as he makes his way over to the blonde that just started dancing a little too close to an Alpha from another pack.

"Hey Blondie, can we talk for a sec?" he asks and Taehyung quirks a playful brow

"What do you need Gukkie? Here to ask me to tell daddy to make you head Alpha?" he slurs and Jeongguk rolls his eyes before looking back at Taehyung. Using his hand to put a space between him and the wolf who's name he doesn't know.

"C'mon, let's go" his voice is firm and he hears Taehyung chuckle "Woof! Big Alpha is angry!"

Tightens the hold he has on Taehyung's wrist as he yanks him with him. Stops just outside of the party and pushes him up against the tree. "What do you think you're doing huh?!" he shouts and Taehyung furrows his brows

"You present as Omega and now any filthy Alpha can put their hands on you?!" Jeongguk seethes and Taehyung smirks, "Since when do you give a fuck about my sex life, Guk?"

Jeongguk stills, doesn't know when because he doesn't give a fuck, he's just responsible.

Yeah.

Responsible.

"If I'm gonna lead this pack one day, than I need to care. Can't let my Omegas whore themselves out" he says it nonchalantly and if Taehyung weren't so buzzed he knows he would've gotten punched for that one. Instead he looks to see Taehyung with wide eyes

"M'not your Omega" he pouts, looking away and Jeongguk doesn't know why his stomach does a little flip when the words leave Taehyung's mouth.

"No, you aren't." he breathes out "But you are an important member of this pack, Blondie. Gotta take care of yourself."

He hadn't noticed until now how close their standing, only notices it because he can see a little fleck of gold on the tip of his own nose as Taehyung reaches to brush it off for him. "What if I don't wanna take care of myself" Taehyung purrs and Jeongguk clenches his jaw

"Well you'll have—" he's cut off by Taehyung grabbing the collar of his shirt

"What if, I want an Alpha to take care of me" Taehyung breathes against the shell of his ear, sending shivers down Jeongguk's spine as one of his hands grabs onto Taehyung's waist to steady himself from the sharp pull.

"T-then choose wisely. One from our pack preferably." Jeongguk barely completes the sentence because he looks up and he's eye level with Taehyung who's tongue darts out to lick his lips, right before he bites it just barely.

"Got my eye on one already" Taehyung whispers and Jeongguk thinks Taehyung is way too drunk to be saying this "I've had my eye on one Alpha for a long time" it's breathed just behind Jeongguk's ear.

Taehyung's fingers still gripping his collar, pulling him closer and closer until Jeongguk has to place a hand on the tree next to Taehyung's head to keep the distance between their faces. Merely a hairs breadth away from their noses brushing, Jeongguk's breath hitches.

"W-who?" he asks, like a damn fool. As if he wasn't catching on to all of the hints Taehyung's been throwing his way. As if he too wasn't dying to close the remaining space between them and claim the Omega for himself.

Taehyung seems not in the mood to play though. Shoves Jeongguk back with a hurt expression on his face, feels embarrassed. "Go." He bites out and Jeongguk is so confused, regrets his decision to play stupid immediately.

"Blondie.." he breathes out and Taehyung scoffs with a bitter laughter

"Can't even use my name, cute. Get out of my face Jeon." And then he's walking away, leaving that intoxicating aroma and his heart on the ground.

❈

Barely ten minutes pass and Jeongguk is going insane. Refuses to let things stop there, scolding himself so much for not just shutting the damn omega up with his mouth. Always a teasing game, always a competition—well this time Jeongguk lost.

Maybe Taehyung lost too.

Jeongguk hates Taehyung.

Hates how desperate he is to find him. Heart pounding as he runs all through the woods, then it dawns on him that he is still a fucking idiot.

Twists on his heels and darts towards the building behind the pack house. The home belonging to Head Alpha and Luna. Taehyung's house.

He gets there way faster than he should and when he smells the sweet scent, he knows Taehyung is here. Glances around trying to pick up more of the scent but he can't.

Finally decides to knock on the door. Has never been inside the house so doesn't know which room is Taehyung's. Jeongguk is bobbing his knee furiously when the door finally opens and there stands none other than Taehyung.

The Omega has changed out of his party clothes but still has gold all over. Wearing only an oversized black t-shirt that hangs down well past his thighs. "What do you want, Jeon? Come to reject me more?" Taehyung rolls his eyes and is about to slam the door in Jeongguk's face but the Alpha steps through the way before he can.

Places his hands on Taehyung's waist and kisses him feverishly. Vice grip sure to leave bruises on his hip bones but neither seem to care. He's pushing him across the room, further and further until finally the back of Taehyung's legs hit a chair and he folds into it.

Jeongguk hovering over him and sliding his tongue in his mouth. This feeling, the result of years and years of pent up irritation, for different reasons, on both ends—has them going crazy.

Bodies on fire and raging. Taehyung's hands hold onto Jeongguk's hair tight enough that it should hurt but the Alpha lives for it. Growls into Taehyung's mouth as he uses the help of the chair to lift Taehyung up into his arms.

"F-fuck, tell me where to take you?" he breathes out, lips nipping at the gold dipped collar bone while Taehyung's body trembles in his hold.

"M'rooms down here." Nudges his head the direction of the hallway and Jeongguk has never moved his feet so swiftly in his life.

Slamming the door shut with his foot, Jeongguk presses Taehyung's body up against it. Grunts when the Omega ruts his body down against Jeongguk's. Creating a painful friction that the Alpha can't handle. Thinks he's going to go insane having Taehyung like this.

Opts to move him to the bed but lays him down gently. Slows everything down just for a moment, just to make sure the Omega isn't running on drunk energy. "Blondie—" he murmurs into Taehyung's neck and the Omega groans in frustration "Please Jeongguk, please don't fucking call me the name you used to torment me our whole lives as you fuck me"

At the same time as Jeongguk feels like shit, his cock throbs at just the thought of fucking Taehyung. "M'sorry, didn't mean it like that—s'habit I guess" he whispers, pressing his lips onto Taehyung's gently "you sure you want this? Sure you want me" he says and Taehyung's hands move from his hair to his shoulders.

Fingers tracing along his biceps delicately, as he stares into Jeongguk's eyes, "meant what I said Guk. Wanted you for a long time. You've just never noticed. Been too busy hating me." He stops the movement of his fingers and sighs "don't wanna talk, just want you. please"

Jeongguk kisses him again, this time with much more enthusiasm before, because he's realizing so many things he never noticed before. Was too caught up in his one-sided rivalry to see all of the things the Omega did for him. Wants to go back in time and kick himself in the ass.

He rolls his body to grind against Taehyung's, earning a whimper from the Omega whenever their cocks brush through their clothes. "Smelt you the other day" he says, teeth grazing Taehyung's neck "in the woods, didn't know it was you"

He shakes his head and looks into Taehyung's eyes. Grabs the hem of the Omega's shirt and begins to lift it slowly, pressing kisses all over the smooth skin underneath—"wanted you then, wanted you two hours ago, want you now. need you." He grits out and Taehyung practically moans when he nibbles onto the hardened bud.

"Want me now? Or want me, for awhile?" Taehyung breathes out, nervously as Jeongguk begins unbuckling his own pants. Still peppering kisses along the Blonde's jawline.

"want you always." Jeongguk says without hesitation "mine. my omega." He says as he finally shimmys out of his way too tight jeans. Both of them left in only their boxers and Taehyung jolts up at Jeongguk's words.

"Y-you're just saying that because you want to fuck me. You can fuck me regardless Guk." He rolls his eyes and positions the Alpha to rest against his headboard...straddling his lap and begins attacking his neck.

Jeongguk grips his neck harshly, jabbing his thumb underneath Taehyung's chin to make him look at him with a low octave growl "Mean it. Mine. All mine." He says and Taehyung whimpers in his hold

Rolls his hips to grind his ass against the erection tented through Jeongguk's briefs. "Need you, Jeon. Wanna ride you." Taehyung let's go of Taehyung's neck and let's his hands trail down the Omega's sides. Fingers sliding into the waistband of his boxers—popping them back against the golden skin before he slides them down.

Eyes never leaving Taehyung's the entire time. Wonder's how he's survived this long with the Omega like this.

Jeongguk hates Taehyung.

Hates Taehyung for not telling him sooner, so that he could have this sooner.

Once both of them have successfully removed their boxers and Taehyung settles back into Jeongguk's lap the Alpha growls loud into Taehyung's ear as his hands grip onto his ass. Holding so tight and guiding him up, feels the tip of his cock poking at the slick dripping entrance.

"Taehyung..fucking hell—" he mutters out, lunges forward to capture the Omega's lips as Taehyung begins to sink down on him painfully slow. Jeongguk feeling every push meanwhile Taehyung is moaning into the Alpha's mouth at the stretch.

Jeongguk notices the way Taehyung stills once he bottoms out and pulls away. Body running cold when he sees tears in the Omega's eyes "Fuck, are you okay?" he asks panicked, hands immediately leaving the plump flesh and instead wiping the tears from his cheeks.

Taehyung nods, looks at Jeongguk shyly "s'my first.. that's all.. s'it hurts a little. Give me a second, I'll be okay. I've used um—toys before."

Jeongguk can't help the way his hips roll at Taehyung's words. Fuck. This is both of their first times, together? How fucking ironic.

How fucking marvelous.

Jeongguk is in heaven. Knows it. Can't believe it.

"Taehyung.." he speaks out breathlessly as his hands take purchase on the Omega's waist. Waiting for the okay to /fucking ruin/ him.

"Gukkie.." Taehyung whimpers as he begins to move his hips in a salacious motion. Jeongguk smirks, loves the way the Omega's breath feels against his skin. The little kisses and nibbles lighting his skin aflame.

"Talk to me baby, what do you need?" he soothes against the shell of Taehyung's ear, leaving kisses there and sucking on his neck a little. Notices the way Taehyung starts to slide off of his cock before sinking back down.

"Wanna fuck you good, want you just for me. my alpha" he purrs as he moves to combine their lips again and Jeongguk's hands immediately grip his ass tight.

Jeongguk uses his hold on Taehyung to help the Omega bounce. Bites his lip until he feels blood when the tip of his cock brushes against the soft bundle of nerves that earns him the most beautiful sound from the mouth on his own.

"Your mouth always been so filthy?" he bites out as Taehyung's pace increases. Plump ass bouncing beautifully on his cock. Jeongguk is going crazy watching the way the tight heat sucks in his cock.

Taehyung giggles against his lips, tongue licking over Jeongguk's lips before he slides it again. Slowing down his motions. Grinding just right and making the Alpha feel dizzy. The lack of oxygen making it nearly impossible to breathe but Jeongguk refuses to break the kiss.

The way Taehyung tastes so good, like the finest delicacies in the world combined. He can't get enough. Wants more and more, more than Taehyung can probably give. More than he himself can give.

But as the Omega's slender fingers slide around to his back and he feels the nails clawing into his skin, he bucks his hips up and fucks into Taehyung as if it's the last thing he'll ever do.

Jeongguk flips them over and Taehyung lets out a gratuitous gasp at being manhandled so well. "Rode me so good baby, so fucking good for me /your/ alpha, all yours. Gonna treat you good now, yeah?" he murmurs, pressing kisses all over Taehyung's chest and abdomen.

Taehyung moans incredibly loud as Jeongguk slides his cock back into the heat. Hands gripping as tight as possible onto the Alpha's back. Knows he's probably hurting him but can't bring himself to care. Not when Jeongguk is fucking into him just right.

Repeatedly abusing his prostate and sending Taehyung to another fucking planet. "Guk—so good, so fucking good" he moans out through gritted teeth and Jeongguk throws his head back. Tightens his hold on Taehyung's thighs.

Looking down at the Omega like this, realizes that this must be what they mean when they say sex with your mate is like no other because his body is feeling things it's never felt. Not even just in the erotic form but in general. His wolf is howling in bliss as he feels so connected to Taehyung.

Groans when he feels his canines enlarge and fucks into Taehyung a little slower, brings his lips just behind the Omega's ear "wanna mark you, you're mine aren't you baby? /my/ Omega?" his voice is so smooth and he feels the way Taehyung trembles in his hold

"P-please Gukkie, mark me. I'm yours. Yours. Yours. Yours." He repeats over and over as Jeongguk's teeth graze all over his neck, searching for the perfect spot. Finally deciding that right above the sinful, gold dusted collar bone is where his mark belongs.

Jeongguk grinds his cock inside of Taehyung so slow as he sinks his teeth into the Omega, reveling in the whimpers he gets. Is quick in making the mark, even quicker in licking to heal it. Already has his neck turned, waiting for Taehyung and picks up this pace furiously when the Omega sinks his teeth into Jeongguk's neck.

"Fuck, Taehyung... could've been doing this for years." He grunted as the Omega begins placing sweet kisses over the mark, barely keeping his breath steady as Jeongguk fucks him just right.

The sensation of being mated, claimed and marked by each other does something /else/ to them. It's only a few seconds later and Jeongguk is bucking his hips into Taehyung harder than before and the Omega is moaning as Jeongguk's free hand goes to stroke his cock.

"Guk—nghh" Taehyung mutters out as he makes a mess all over Jeongguk's hand and the Alpha licks his lips in pleasure as he releases himself. Slowly thrusting into the Omega who is staring into him with those gorgeous eyes. Flecks of gold now all over them both.

Jeongguk admires the masterpiece below him as he leans to combine his lips with Taehyung's gently. Then trailing his kisses down his jaw, stopping at his mark.

❈

Waking up the following morning is—strange. Strange because Jeongguk has no idea what Taehyung is going to say or think when he wakes up.

All that he knows is right now Taehyung is burrowed into his chest. Snoring so softly and eyelashes fluttering. Making Jeongguk feel so warm inside.

Jeongguk hates Taehyung.

Hates how he's deprived himself of loving Taehyung for so long.

Only a few minutes later and the Omega is rolling around, stretching his long arms above his head and Jeongguk brings one of his hands to rub along the skin. Surprising the Omega but earning a soft smile.

"Hey.." he whispers and Taehyung giggles "Hi"

Taehyung rolls over, lays an arm on Jeongguk's chest, resting his head on the arm and looking up at the Alpha through his long lashes. Jeongguk smiles, brings a finger to Taehyung's nose to flick off a remnant of the gold dust from the night before.

"So.. um.." he starts but Taehyung giggles even more

"What's so funny, huh?" he coos, fingers tickling Taehyung's sides and the Omega squirms in his hold. Jeongguk suddenly replaying all of the times he was so hateful to Taehyung. Imagines all the scenarios where he could've heard this laughter instead.

He sighs and stops, bringing Taehyung closer to him and pecking his lips, "M'sorry." He says and Taehyung tilts his head "M'sorry for being a stubborn asshole for the last 19 years."

Taehyung let's a hand rub along Jeongguk's firm chest with a satisfied humm. "S'okay. I was a shithead too. Think it built our characters well" he scrunches his nose in laughter and Jeongguk can't resist but to lean forward and kiss it.

"So now what?" Jeongguk says and Taehyung shrugs, "Well... I guess now we have a pack to take over" he smiles brightly and Jeongguk's mouth gapes open

"I really fucking love you" Jeongguk says breathlessly and Taehyung laughs again

"Tell me that again, when it's not the morning after sex, yeah?" Taehyung purrs, sweetly. Teasing glint in his eye and Jeongguk hold his waist tighter.

"I'll tell you it everyday."
