You're Cute

  The soft material of the blanket that Yoongi had wrapped around him made him feel almost as comfortable as the sight of Taehyung dancing around on the floor made him feel. He felt like he was at home as soon as he had entered the younger's house, smelling the fresh scent of cookies and seeing nothing but pretty pastel colors that Taehyung's mom decorated with. He knew that this was a lovely place.

  Before, he was terrified.

  Terrified to find out if Taehyung was really the real Taehyung that he had seen in his dreams. Terrified on how he was going to act and whether or not if he'd be awkward, but mostly just terrified of Taehyung in general.

  "Hyung," Taehyung said, snapping Yoongi out of his thoughts. He had been sitting on Taehyung's couch for about two hours just wrapped up in a blanket that he had given him. Taehyung was busy dancing around on the living room floor, saying that it helps him with getting his body back into motion from being unconscious for so long. "Look at this."

  Yoongi moved his head to lay against the couch as he watched the boy curiously. What could he possibly be doing this time?

  Taehyung stretched his long arm to reach up to a picture frame. "Have you ever seen young Jiminie? Or young Jungkook?" He asked.

  Yoongi shook his head as Taehyung looked down at him. Even though it had been weeks, he was still exactly like he was in his dreams. It was all real. The dreams, the part where he was stuck in time. But, why? Why was it real?

  "Here," Taehyung said as he stepped towards the couch and plopped onto it, giving Yoongi the picture frame in the process. Yoongi looked down at the small frame and smiled as he saw his two friends, except they were younger.

  "When was this?" Yoongi bit back a laugh.

  Taehyung pushed the urge out of the way as he began laughing himself. "Eigth grade."

  Yoongi shook his head as he gave the picture back to the boy. "I don't know why you're laughing. You look like a fetus, too." He said.

  The younger boy rolled his eyes at Yoongi. "Well, what did you look like as a kid? I'm sure you were no better, were you?" He smiled.

  "I looked amazing and cute as a kid."

  "Yeah, right." Taehyung chuckled as he set the picture frame in the floor, making a mental note to put it back on the wall later. Yoongi pouted and removed his hand from under the blanket so he could smack Taehyung's arm.

  "I did look cute." He whined quietly.

  Taehyung started laughing as the small hit didn't hurt him one bit. "Hyung, you're cute. I believe you." His eyes creased up as he smiled. "I'm sure you were the cutest in school."

  Yoongi nodded at that confidently.

  "In fact, you almost look like a baby now." Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows as he moved to get a closer look at Yoongi's face. "You have smooth skin, you whine and you pout.."

  Yoongi could help but grip harder onto the blanket as Taehyung got so close to him. He could feel his face turn red, so he turned away in hopes that Taehyung would be gone.

  "I'm not a baby." He stated.

  He felt a poke on his cheek, making him turn back around to the younger boy with furrowed eyebrows. "What are you—"

  "See?" Taehyung cut him off.

  "See what?"

  "You're whining."

A Walk In The Park

"Hyung," Taehyung got Yoongi's attention. They were both walking in the park, being almost so quiet that they could hear the trees being moved by the soft wind. "Do you ever think about why it was that I was in your dreams?" He asked Yoongi out of nowhere.

They hadn't talked about that yet.

Yoongi was too scared to bring it up, and Taehyung was just confused about it all. They both were, actually. It just wasn't something that happens to anyone. Especially not strangers. They hadn't told anyone at all in fear that they'd think they were crazy, and hell, maybe they were. Who knows?

"Well," Yoongi stuck his hands in his pockets as he kicked a rock off of the pavement. "I'm not sure, really. I just.. I don't understand why I kept going back in time. Reliving the same day over and over again. Why was that?"

Taehyung looked out to the birds flying over the two men and pursed his lips into a thin line. "Maybe it was meant to be, hyung." He said. Yoongi looked up at him, but Taehyung was too busy staring at the sky. "Maybe the universe wanted you to find me. Maybe you were meant to save me. Meant to wake me up from the hell that I was in." He explained.

Yoongi tilted his head. "Hell?" He questioned. He hadn't thought about how Taehyung had felt during the times that he left him there.

"I was there for months, hyung. Twenty four months." He looked down at Yoongi with emotion in his eyes that was hard to catch. "I was stuck in the darkness. All I could do was listen. I listened and listened until one day I just stopped. I stopped listening. That's when I lost track of time and what what going on around me.. Until I eventually could see."

Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"I could see you." Taehyung smiled a little. "I felt as if I was blind, hyung. I felt like I was going nowhere, being trapped in the darkness, until I finally saw you. And when you left the first day, I was so upset. I thought you had left me forever, but then you came back." He felt the tears coming down his cheeks. "You came back, telling me about your dreams and how you were waking up on the same day. You sounded crazy, but I didn't give a shit because at least I had a crazy person with me in that stupid place." He laughed to himself.

Yoongi laughed with him even though he still felt sorry for the crying boy. He reached up and wiped his tears off for him and made him sit on a bench next to them, not caring that it was starting to lightly rain on them.

"Oh, and you made me feel." Taehyung looked
up at the sky before he closed his eyes and felt the rain fall against his skin. "I could feel you grab my hand, you know.." He smiled.

That made Yoongi look down in embarrassment even though Taehyung had his eyes closed. "You did?" He asked quietly.

"Yes, and I didn't mind." Taehyung replied. He opened his eyes and looked down at the older. "Hyung," He grabbed his hand softly.

Yoongi looked up at Taehyung. "Yes?"

"Will you stay with me and make me feel that way for forever?" Taehyung pouted slightly.

Yoongi squeezed onto Taehyung's hand.

"Of course I will, Taehyungie."
