"Taehyung when we get out of here...

Will you marry me?"

——————————————————

Taehyung's eyes widen in shock as he hears the words pour of his Jungkook's mouth. Jungkooks similarly widen, surprised at himself he had the courage to say it.

Taehyung grabs his collar roughly and pulls him down for a sweet and sublime kiss.

When Tae finally pulls away for air Jungkook is panting like he's never had a taste of oxygen before.

"Of c-course kookie." Tae mutters hoarsely. His words may sound more agonizing than usual, but their meaning and impact have never sounded so sweet to Jungkook's ears.

Jungkook smiles like a crazed animal and pulls Taehyung in for another kiss, carefully to slow his actions when he remembers Tae's injury. He holds him close and steady.

"Jungkook quick give Tae to Jin, I hear footsteps." Hoseok is quick to interrupt the two lover's. Though the rest of the sins had been watching the scene unfold, happy for the two and even more determined to get out of this mess and restore balance.

Jungkook nods and plant one last soft kiss on his Taehyung's forehead before handing him off to Seokjin.

"Don't worry, pup, I'm here okay?" He whispers in his ear before joining the others by the door to the cell.

Jin wraps his arms around Tae protectively. Preparing the younger for possible sudden movements.

The other five Sin's wait eagerly in the corner, the anticipated footsteps getting louder and louder still. Each man has a hand behind his back or in his pocket.

The only good thing about a dirty, underground cell?

There's plenty of small rocks and sticks lying around.

Finally the dark figure of the man from earlier appears at the bottom of the stairs. Followed by 5 or so similarly grimly dressed rogues.

Namjoon looks at his chosen family, and nods. They all nod back.

"Ready to die? Cause I am sure ready to watch." The man sneers, tilting his head up and smirking down at the seemingly defeated Sins.

The males in the cell say nothing, feigning devastation.

The rebels all laugh disgustingly as the leader reaches for his keys, his men ready at the gate to grab and contain the powerless sins once more.

As soon as the door is an inch open Namjoon, Hoseok and Jungkook bolt for the men, clearly taking them by surprise.

They grapple with another another, Jungkook flipping two rebels over his shoulder at once until their spines collide painfully with with knees. Namjoon takes a pointed rock he has found and slides in his knees towards two rogues, taking a rock in each hand and stabbing them into their knees, flicking his wrist upwards and lodging the "weapons" under their shattered kneecaps. All that can be heard is the clanging of metal and the abhorrent screams of the Sins' captors.

Hoseok rips his hand through the leaders hair, jerking his neas down and slamming in into the floor before placing his foot on the back of the mans neck and jerking his head upwards again. A sickening pop can be heard as a handful of bleeding hair is torn from the rebel's skull, the man now unconscious.

The one remaining guard makes to run but before he can Yoongi and Jimin wrap a chain around his neck switching places to tighten the chains pull on his jugular. In a swift motion they pull in opposite directions, cutting off the mans circulation causing him to pass out from lack of air.

After the first wave is dealt with Yoongi and Namjoon quickly chain all of the assailants together and then lock them inside the cell. Jin running out with Tae in his arms, eyes scanning frantically for a place to hide the injured boy.

"Come on!" Jungkook shouts as he begins to ascend the stairs out of the prisons holding chambers. The rest of the sins follows closely behind, heeding their leaders orders and keeping Tae and Jin in the middle of them as they moved.

They reach the ground level and are surprised to see themselves back in the coliseum, discovering a newly made tunnel to the main floor of the amphitheater.

But just as they all set their feet on solid ground a horrific realization dawns on them all.

The stands are full.

Full of people, people of the kingdom turned rogue killers.

Thousands of black clad men, women and manipulated teenagers rush the Sins.

Jungkook grits his teeth and turns to the others, a look of fear evident on their faces.

"We fight or we die." Yoongi exclaims firmly. The rest of them say nothing but agree solemnly in their own minds.

Hundreds of rebels swarm each sin, every one of them armed with a different weapon. Every sin holds their own, desperately fighting and defending with every fiber of their being.

Jin runs frantically, clutching Taehyung to his chest as if Tae was his own heart. The rest of the males following them closely not letting them out of their sight.

A night pitched scream cuts through the manic violence as a serrated long sword impales itself into Hoseok's thigh, pulled out painfully at an angle by his assailant who grinned wickedly.

"HOSEOK!" Yoongi shrieks at the sight of his love collapsing in pain, distracted by the sight of horror a tall woman clad in a dark cloak takes this opportunity to embed her short handheld knife in Yoongi's shoulder blade.

Overcome by adrenaline Yoongi rips it out of his own back and hurdles it at the woman, catching her cheek and splitting it open, she screeches and clutches her jaw; her fingers dip horrifically into her own now exposed mouth, touching her teeth through her ripped open cheek.

The woman blacks out in shock and pain and Yoongi quickly retrieves her dagger from off of the ground turning to slice at another assailant, but hissing sharply as his shoulders sear with a burning pain.

His vision goes foggy for a split second before he comes to his senses and tries to spot Hoseok again. He catches sight of him and takes off, but a harsh blow to the knees stop him in his tracks. And a knife to the back causes him to cry out again.

The man twists his knife in circles in Yoongi's back cutting through nerves and touching bone.

Yoongi can't even scream, his entire body shuts down from the excruciating experience.

Jin gasps as he watches Namjoon catch a black across the back of his neck, nearly severing his spinal cord. He wants to shout to him but keeps a hand over his mouth as to not alert the rebels to he and Tae's location.

Jin had found a small enclave in the cracks of the amphitheater walls, a space underneath the stairs where they could see the action but couldn't be seen by others.

Tae struggles to stand on his feet, tears pouring down his cheeks and soaking his shirt and he watches his brothers and the love of his life fall in pain one by one.

"JIN WE HAVE TO DO-" Jin slaps a hand over Tae's mouth, his words come out garbled and choked as Tae notices Jin's tears also streaming freely.

"Please Tae, I promised to keep you safe, if we survive we might be able to help." He whispers, pleading for Taehyung to not do anything rash.

Jin was being truthful, he wanted them both to survive so they could possibly save the others. But more-so, Jin didn't want Taehyung to be killed, if Tae was gone too Jin would have no one else in this world.

He'd be alone.

So he needed to keep at least Taehyung safe. Jin swallows and long strangled cries and whispers escape his mouth involuntarily as he watches the brutality against his family.

Tae kicks and hits Jin, slaps him, tries to scream and push away. But Jin holds onto him tightly.

Another scream can be heard, but the owner of this screams voice is deeper, familiar to Tae.

Taes eyes widen in terror as he sees a knife jutting out of Jungkooks elbow, sticking out the other end of his forearm. He stares as Jungkook continues to fight, ripping out the blade and sticking into someone else's thigh.

But then another shriek pierces his ears as a long sword slips right into Jungkooks torso, right where his previous wound had been.

"JUNGKOOK-" Tae screams wildly before Jin can stop him.

Taes vision is blurry as adrenaline and pure unadulterated terror rushes through his body.

The corners of his vision turn a soft pink and Tae believes he may pass out.

Everything turns a deep blush color of red as Taehyung scans the battlefield, crazed.

He can't let this happen.

He just found a home.

He just found a place he could feel safe.

He just found a living where he need not sell himself to the night.

He just found his life partner and love.

He couldn't let it end like this.

A wave of emotion takes over Taehyungs body as he grips Jin's arms and flings them off with more power than Jin had ever seen from the boy.

Taehyung hears Jin's cries for him to stop, his reminders that Taehyung shouldn't be unable to walk on his own. But to Taehyung they are merely muffled background noise.

Tae is unsure of where his legs are taking him but he moves somehow unnoticed by the rogues to Jungkook, who lies barely conscious on the ground, doubled over in pain.

A rage and fury that Taehyung has never known takes root in his heart as he turns to the assailants, coming face to face with a man who's sword is mere second away from decapitating Jungkook.

"STOP IT. EVERYONE STOP!" Taehyung shrieks, splitting the eardrums of everyone in the amphitheater, echoing off the walls louder than anything the people had heard before.

And then time seems to freeze.

Taehyung's voice is still ringing in the ears of everyone, and in his own mind.

When Tae finally remains control of his breathing he realizes something.

Everyone has stopped.

He turns slowly, everything still glowing a dark magenta hue, time stands still.

A force grabs ahold of Taehyung heart, almost taking control. And the soft voice of a woman sound in his head.

"My child... you have been through so much haven't you?"

Taehyung's vision clears a bit as a gorgeous woman appears before him, her skin is as clear as the sky on a summers day, glowing a deep chocolatey brown. Her clothes are flowy and loose, trailing majestically over the ground as if she were floating. Her hair spirals wondrously down past her waist, hues of sun kissed blonde in her dark locks. The beautiful garments that adorn her perfect figure are blessed with a touch of blush pink and a deep violet red.

Taehyung simply stares. He feels like he knows this woman somehow. He feels connected to her.

"No one should have to see the things you have seen my precious one. I am so sorry for your troubled life. May I bless you with good fortune and compensation for the kindness and purity of your heart."

Taehyung blinks slowly, words unable to come out of his mouth.

"Ahh, you may be wondering who I am, no? Well my jewel, I am Lust... the original sin, the goddess herself." The beauty says calmly, her voice as smooth as satin and as soft as velvet to Taehyung's ears.

"Lust?"

"Mhm... many have soiled the role of my namesake, using it in crude and adulterous ways. But lust can be so much more than simply pleasure without meaning. A lust for life, is what keeps us  alive. A lust for companionship and company, keeps us strong...

My child, you are the purest creature I have yet to lay eye on... I am truly honored to be able to say you are Lust... you have done so much with the so little life has given you. I believe it is time some justice was dealt out, hmm?" List says gently, moving forward to pet Taehyung's hair in a motherly manner.

Taehyung can hardly process her words as she plants a soft and gently kiss on his forehead.

"Restore the balance my child." She utters before vanishing before Taehyung's eyes, the dark pink hue returning to his vision, his eyes adjusting to see the frozen crowd surrounding him.

A sense of confidence and power fills him though he isn't sure how or why.

He speaks suddenly, as if he has lost control of his own tongue.

"Drop your weapons." Taehyung says firmly, voice never wavering for a second.

With a loud crashing noise, every weapon held by man or woman is thrown to the floor.

Jungkook can hardly believe his eyes as he watches his Taehyung, not only stand on his own, but somehow order an entire enemy army.

Then Jungkook inhales sharply as he catches sight of Taehyung's eyes.

The chocolate brown irises he knows are gone, replaced by a striking and stunning lilac violet, his retinas glowing a soft pink, outlining his eyes.

Near his pupils his eyes glow golden, enhancing the powerful violet gaze even more.

Taehyung speaks again, his voice more sure than ever.

"Kneel."

Slowly, as if under a trance, every rebel drops to their knees, eyes constantly trained on Taehyung's glowing gaze.

Rage returns to Taehyung's chest as he is reminded of what these monsters have done to his family.

"Put your hands around your neck." He growls, vision flashing a bright lavender hue.

"Tae-" Jungkook tries to speak but cowers from the pain in his torso.

Taehyung's face is apathetic as his gaze glows brighter and brighter.

"Squeeze." He speaks.

Suddenly gasping can be heard as each rogue presses down harshly on their own neck, following every command given by Lust.

"Tae- s- stop." Jungkook chokes. These people were monsters, but he knows Taehyung isn't thinking clearly. He knows Tae couldn't live with himself if he realizes he killed thousands of people.

"Kill yourselves." Taehyung snarls, also shouting the command as he shakes with fury.

Jungkooks eyes widen as he sees the people begin to tug harder at their throats. He rolls upwards, gasping in pain.

"TAEHYUNG!" He cries, able to get the words out without choking on his breath.

The purple hue of Taehyung's eyes falter for a moment as he hears the familiar sound of Jungkooks voice.

Tae turns to look at his love, lying on the ground in agony, his gaze pleading him to stop.

"Stop... you'll regret it... please don't do this." Jungkook says.

Taehyung stares at Jungkook for a long moment, he blinks hard and slowly Jungkook watches as the lovely brown color returns slightly to the rim of his petal's eyes.

"Jungkook..." Tae whispers before whipping around to examine the scene he has created.

Tae watches in disbelief as every man and woman moves slowly and deliberately to tighten their grip on their own throats, all choking and gasping for air.

Taehyung shakes his head violently before he screams, "STOP!"

Everyone pauses their actions.

Lust takes a deep breathe before continuing, choosing his words carefully, trying not to abuse his newly found gift.

"Taehyung... you're controlling them, with your words." Jin says quietly from a short distance away, moving quietly away from his hiding place.

"Lust's ability... no one has been able to master it or even use it since the very first chosen Lust. Attraction... charmspeak manipulation."

"Taehyung you have completely control over them with only your words..."

Taehyung stares at his hands in shock...

His power has been granted.
