Chapter Text
**Hobi**:
Hoseok pulls Jungkook into his lap, rubs his thumbs under the younger's eyes.
“I’ll tell you as many times as it takes Kook. You should know this by now.”
Jungkook sniffles. Looks up at him with big, wide, innocent eyes. They’re red around the edges, tears clinging to brown lashes, Hoseok could swear there were constellations behind the younger's gaze. His nose is red and running. Tear tracks streaming down soft cheeks, dripping off a sharp jaw.
Jungkook pouts. Buries his face deeper against Hoseok with a whine forcing past the back of his throat. Hoseok chuckles. Runs a hand through Jungkook's hair. Unfurls his half bun to let dark soft curls frame the younger's face.
It’s times like these that he remembers how much younger Jungkook is. How he’s softer, more pliant. More impressionable.
Hoseok shifts. Mumbles under his breath for Jungkook to look up.
The softest “Koo, baby, look at me love.”
Jungkook sniffles. Hoseok wonders if he will listen.
Eventually he does. Slowly he lifts his teary face to stare at Hoseok. Eyebrows pinched, mouth in a pout.
"Nothing's gonna hurt you baby,” he lifts Jungkook’s chin with a finger, “nothing's gonna make you cry. I'll be damned if I ever let another hand wipe your tears before they dry," his breath fans across Jungkook's face.
Jungkook giggles.
“I love you Hobi.”
Hoseok smiles. “I love you too Bun.”
