As Hoseok combs his hair in their dorm, Yoongi stares. Like he has been doing for a long time now. He and Hoseok have been friends for so long that Yoongi doesn't remember a time when they were not friends. They went to the same school, high school, college and now they go to the same university. They both have experienced many first times together. When they learned to read and write their first word, when they fell while learning to ride the bike, when they first started high school and when Hobi had his first crush at 10th grade, when they presented; Hobi as an Omega and Yoongi as a Beta, when Hobi proposed his first crush, it was Yoongi who helped him gain his courage. But Yoongi never had any crush on anyone from their classmates. Neither did he ever have a first kiss, when Hobi shared with him about his first experience in college. How could he when his only crush has always been…
“ Hyung! How do I look?”
Hoseok asks excitedly, bringing Yoongi out of his thoughts. Hyung, of course. He is a year older than Hoseok; two years to be exact.
The Omega always looks gorgeous, no matter what. The fact that Hoseok thinks he needs to doll himself up before every date is annoying to Yoongi, because he is gorgeous naturally and Yoongi hates the fact that none of Hoseok’s partners have told him that yet. If they did, Yoongi would be the first one to know because he is always the first one who has to hear every detail from his hyper-excited Omega best friend even if he hates to listen to those, and wants to listen to those too because—
“ You didn’t tell me how I look for the date Hyung!”
Hoseok’s disappointed yet loud whine brings the beta out of his head and back on earth once again. He has seriously got to stop getting lost again and again in front of the Omega.
“ You always look good, Hoba. In fact, I’m not sure why you even think that you need to doll up every time. Just go as you are. You are beautiful naturally.” There is a hint of annoyance in the elder’s tone.
“ Yeah? So that my date flees even before they get to know my name?Funny Hyung. Now please tell me how I look!” it’s not a question anymore this time the Omega says it.
“ Well, if that’s what your dates make you feel, you should seriously reconsider your choice of partner. You shouldn’t only run after handsome people but those who know how to appreciate your worth!” Yoongi grumbles like an angry old man while Hoseok looks at him in disbelief.
Hoseok. The only reason Yoongi never had any crush, date, or first kiss yet, is Hoseok. Even before Yoongi got the chance to know anyone else, He knew Hoseok. Yoongi has always been a shy boy and likes to keep to himself. No one is able to see his smile or make him laugh. Unless it’s Hoseok. When his heart made a funny leap already, it was for Hoseok. Seeing the way the Omega laughs full of life, the way the younger is always able to make him feel butterflies, no one has been able to do that till now. And Yoongi is sure, no one will ever be able to do so. But the only problem is, he is a beta and Hoseok is an Omega. All they have seen growing up is what’s considered normal is Alphas with Omegas and Alphas with Betas. It’s a very rare scenario to find where Omegas are seen with Betas because the reproductivity chances are slim with Beta and Omega couples. Even Hoseok is going the same way. But none of Hoseok’s relationships last long. It seems that even Hoseok doesn’t know the reason. Or, he doesn’t realise it as Yoongi did long ago. Apparently, according to Hoseok’s boyfriends, he doesn’t know how to set his priority between his boyfriends and his childhood best friend. He is always talking about the Beta and how he is better at taking care of him than his boyfriends. And when they ask the Omega to choose between them or the Beta, without any question asked or without any response to their question, Hoseok breaks up with them. And the only place he cries about his breakups, is also the shoulder of the Beta in question. Yoongi knows everything, except why none of Hoseok’s relations ever last long, because Hoseok never tells Yoongi that part. Hoseok doesn’t realise what’s wrong with prioritising your childhood best friend! Anyone would do that right? How can they ask him to choose between one! He is optimistic that one day he will find someone who can respect the place of Yoongi in Hoseok’s life. He is sure he will find someone one day.
“ Why are you always so cold, Hyung? You know I always need your opinion, come on!”
Hoseok whines again and Yoongi mutters under his breath, “ Then just date me instead of searching dates on the streets like searching for puppies for adoption!”
“ Ah what are you murmuring to yourself now? How many times do I have to ask the same question Hyung? Don’t take advantage of me giving your opinion more importance now.”
“ if you heard me already you wouldn’t have had to stand here and ask the same question Hoba. I already told you, you look beautiful. Now give me a rest, you fool! I need to make my breakfast unlike you.” Yoongi says as he shakes his head to both sides and leaves the room looking unimpressed.
“ Ugh! I hate you so much!”
The next moment Yoongi hears a door bang. He sighs as he turns the water tap off and takes a mental note of buying a new t-shirt soon, because one more shirt is going in his secret Hobi stock, unwashed and covered in Hobi’s dried breakup tears and his scent; for reasons that no one needs to know. Hoseok never questions the sudden disappearance of one specific shirt of Yoongi exactly after his breakups. Probably he never noticed, or probably he did but never thought too deeply on that. It's normal to stop wearing a t- shirt.
*
It’s exactly after 6 months, when Hoseok comes to Yoongi drunk and crying on his shoulder complaining about how his now and new ex, Yunjoon was lacking in so many ways, and how Yoongi was right on the first day 6 months ago; while for these last 6 months all Yoongi had to listen was how better and different this boyfriend was than the others in the past and how hopeful the blonde was to have something permanent with this person.
Hoseok is a bright person with a lively personality and too many friends than the normal amount, but it’s Yoongi who is always special and gets mostly all of Hoseok’s time and attention. Just as true as it is that Yoongi always eagerly waits for this day when Hoseok would come back to him, and the Omega’s time is exclusively for him again; he is also sad to see Hoseok like this again and again and angry over the person who causes him to cry like this and cause him pain.
Hoseok is the most important person in Yoongi’s life and the one he adores the most. It’s true that Yoongi is bad with feelings. Hoseok also complains sometimes that why did it have to be Yoongi because he is always so unimpressed and always wears such a plain face that it’s hard for Hoseok to figure out most of the time what the other is feeling. But Yoongi knows Hoseok is just whining whenever he says that because he wants Yoongi to smile more and open up about his feelings more.
Yoongi knows the truth, which is, no one gets him as Hoseok does. And Hoseok is the only one who makes Yoongi laugh. So no matter how unimpressed and annoyed Yoongi looks, he is at his happiest when he is with Hoseok. His best friend makes him do crazy things also, which he never does when he is alone. Maybe because he is just to whipped for the Omega to even realise that he is doing something stupid just because he finds it funny as an effect of the company of Hoseok. But Hoseok doesn't really need to know that either.
So when Hoseok cries like this, Yoongi wants to rip off that person’s throat.
Hobi’s sound of sniffs are turning into soft hiccups as the night gets deeper; like always. For the first time in a long time, Yoongi decides something. He has had enough. If anyone knows how to appreciate Hoseok's worth, it's him. And Yoongi is going to confess to Hoseok no matter what society thinks. Society is only good at thinking anyways. And he is going to do it properly because Hoseok only deserves the world, nothing less. He is going to court the Omega.
*
It's not the first time that Hoseok wakes up in Yoongi's bed instead of his own. His head hurts from a hangover and crying too much. This is not new either. The Omega sits up holding his head tight as a groan leaves his throat.
" Oh you're up!"
Yoongi says in an unusually soft voice that he never uses in the morning or anytime after Hoseok is done crying over his breakup. The Omega is not sure if he’s still not over his hangover. He blinks in an attempt to open his eyes to the brightness of the morning.
“ Here you go. Your hangover soup.”
Hoseok’s eyes open wide this time in surprise as the Beta never prepares the hangover soup for him after his breakup hangovers. He always makes the latter do it, while the former stands behind him just to make sure the Omega doesn’t trip on his legs or the kitchen counter.
“ Hyung! Are you alright? Did something happen? Do you need something?”
Hoseok asks, surprised at the totally new side of his childhood friend. Yoongi stares at Hoseok wearing an unimpressed look as his lips are pressed together in a straight line. He sighs and controls the anger that almost came out as an irritated yell. He is courting the love of his life, he should remember that and keep his cool.
“ Drink this and come out. Your favourite is almost prepared for breakfast .”
Yoongi says softly one more time and smiles at a confused Hoseok who tries to remember if he saw Yoongi hitting his head recently.
A second thought crosses his mind but he shakes his head in denial.
“ No no. I couldn’t have. I’ve kept things to myself for all these years, There is no way I would blurt out now. Yesterday was not my first time either. I didn’t. Everything is fine.”
Hoseok convinces himself as he breathes in and out, letting all the worry that started clouding his brain.
It’s Hoseok’s little secret which becomes big at specific moments of loneliness. He has a huge crush on his childhood best friend, the Beta. He is not sure if Yoongi feels the same about him or he feels what the society feels. It’s true that, the Beta has never had a date in his entire life. But probably Yoongi is waiting for the proper Alpha. Whenever Hoseok asks Yoongi something about a date as a joke, the Beta just rolls his eyes and says he would better do an extra study course than wasting his time on love or dating. Those are useless for Yoongi and pure waste of time and self worth. Hoseok has cried many times in his pillows thinking he has very low chance with Yoongi. Rather than ruining their friendship of twenty long years, Hoseok prefers to just keep letting his frustration out through tears occasionally.
He steps down from the bed. A sudden head spin causes him to land straight on his ass on the bed again.
“ Fuck!”
_
The smell of recently fried pork belly hits Hoseok’s nose as he approaches the kitchen of their shared dorm.
" Uh you're here. Come, sit! I've prepared your favourite glass noodles, with pork belly and kimchi. Also, I've made you iced americano."
Yoongi places all the food in front of Hoseok as he sits down, still confusion clearly visible on his face.
" Hyung, are you sure nothing happened last night?" Hoseok asks cautiously.
" Nothing much. Just you broke up again with your ' this one is perfect' boyfriend and passed out drunk."
Yoongi says calmly, slurping his noodles without looking at the Omega, while the latter only takes the first bite looking at the Beta suspiciously.
" Why are you suddenly being nice to me?"
Hoseok asks carefully because he doesn't want to deal with the Beta's temper. Yoongi naturally keeps his cool most of the time. But when he is irritated, he stops doing the things that cause him to get irritated in the first place. So Hoseok's heart skips a beat when an annoyed sound leaves Yoongi's mouth.
" Do you want to say I always treat you badly?! How ungrateful! You want to make your own breakfast again? Should I eat this for you instead? Give it to me then! "
" No no no! I'm sorry. I won't talk nonsense again. I'll just eat!"
Hoseok pulls the bowl closer to himself and starts eating but the confusion in him doesn't leave.
Yoongi doesn't lose his calm this easily. So it surprises Hoseok once again to get a reply like this from the shorter one. But the anxiety in Yoongi that he might be too obvious, causes him to react the way the Beta didn't even intend to in the first place. So the blonde sighs while retrieving his hand making an irritated tch with his tongue and starts eating his own food again.
Hoseok doesn't notice the breath that Yoongi lets out that he has been holding in!
*
It has been their little thing since childhood, to wait for the other after class and go home together. After all these years, it has become their unspoken little rule.
Yoongi's class finishes before Hoseok's, so he is the one that waits for the Omega after class. Some days, they would go for coffee together after class, or some days, they would just sit in the park for a while after class, sometimes doing some study together, or sometimes just sitting under the tree without any specific reason.
Spending time with Hoseok after class is a mind refresher for Yoongi. He would forget about all the worries once he sees the smiling face of his childhood best friend and forever crush. The bright personality of the Omega drives away all the negativity surrounding Yoongi like the sunshine. There are times when Yoongi wonders how his life would be without Hoseok. Would he be able to even smile even a bit then? Would there be someone else instead of Hoseok? Can someone even ever be Hoseok? Yoongi scoffs at the thought of something so absurd and impossible.
The rose in his hand feels like a ticking bomb! He never brings Hoseok anything. Till today, all these years, Yoongi never let anything show to Hoseok. But now that he has decided to court the Omega, he wants to risk it all and be brave. Even if Hoseok doesn't feel the same as him, Yoongi knows he would still be friends with the Beta. And probably with time, he will get over the pain of rejection too! He changes his hand and holds the flower in right hand, shifting his weight from one leg to another. According to Hoseok, the most romantic gesture is one rose, not a bouquet of them.
_
Hoseok finishes his class and comes out thinking of what he should do with Yoongi today before going back to the dorm. Maybe he should take the Beta today to the ice-cream parlour just a few blocks away. Yoongi has been acting really weird for a week now and it's making Hoseok's heart flutter to a serious level! He is not sure about the real reason for Yoongi's strange behaviour towards him since the day of his recent breakup. It's not that Yoongi has always been cold towards him. The Beta acts surprisingly cheerful around him while he is usually a grumpy grandpa. Jungkook even teases him by that name. But, he has never taken such a care of the Omega before after his breakups like he has been doing for the last 7 days, and it's confusing the hell out of Hoseok.
Hoseok is scared now that if Yoongi keeps this up, he might not be able to keep being only friends with Yoongi without drenching his pillows at night, at the thought of being rejected by Yoongi. What if he is doing all these just because he thinks he should stop being cold towards his childhood friend as after his breakups just because he cares for his childhood friend? Would Hosoek be able to handle rejection from Yoongi?
As Hoseok walks while thinking about Yoongi, his eyes widen, as they fall on Yoongi whose back is resting against a tree at their meeting place, and — and he is holding a rose. A single rose in his hand. Did Yoongi find someone already? If he did, he would have told Hoseok right? Even if he did, why would he wait for the person at their meeting place and time. Wait is he— No! Hoseok shakes his head before that thought occupies his mind and raises his expectations that will probably cause a bigger heart break later. Because he clearly remembers Yoongi saying…
'There's no way I'd ever date you. Not even if you're the last person on earth. I don't want to ruin our friendship. Friendship that turns into a relationship, never ends well. So no, no chance of that happening. You can rest assured.'
It happened when they were watching a movie together, where the main leads were childhood friends and dating. Hoseok stole the opportunity and asked Yoongi what it would be like if they were like those main leads. He remembers Yoongi looking at him like he just told the Beta that he is an alien and then, he said that. So no, there's no way he would let his stupid heart trick his brain into believing wast he was just about to think.
" Hey!" Hoseok puts his sad ass to sleep and flashes his sunshine smile that is enough to brighten up a cloudy day; and is surprised to get a warm smile from Yoongi which is not unusual, but very rare to see, only on occasions when they have a heart to heart because Hoseok wouldn't let Yoongi sulk on days when he feels like— well, sulking.
“Hi”, Yoongi holds his smirk, but the corner of his lips still curve. “Class is finished? Or did you just flee here to be able to see me sooner”
The man looks like he is trying not to smirk while smirking. Doesn't he look hot doing that though?! Hoseok feels his heart skip a beat and he breathes in through his nose. And did the Beta just flirt? He never does that! This man is acting really weird making a juice out of Hoseok's brain. Yet, Hoseok manages to scoff and rolls his eyes.
" Why would I skip my precious class just to see your grumpy irritating face? Unless, that…" Hoseok points towards the flower in Yoongi's hand and the Beta's eyes follow the direction.
" That is for me?" He asks.
" Was. Now that you think my face is irritatingly grumpy, I guess it's no longer for you." Yoongi gives him a tight lipped smile and starts walking.
" Wait wait wait. Give me that. That's mine!" Hoseok snatches the rose and walks ahead of Yoongi. The latter heaves a sigh clutching his heart and punches himself quietly avoiding the Omega's eyes.
A bit far from them, Jungkook smiles, shaking his head.
" This hyung finally decided to make a move huh. I thought he's forever gonna just crush on him silently!"
_
Since that day, Hoseok finds Yoongi bringing him all kinds of little gifts. Someday he brings the Omega chocolates, someday he brings him ice- cream, someday he treats Hoseok to a meal or to coffee. And the more days are passing, the more confused Hoseok is getting. He doesn’t know what the Beta is doing, and doesn't want to assume anything after what he already told Hoseok that day. He doesn't want to create opportunities of heartbreak when he is sure it's going to happen if he takes these actions of Yoongi as something positive. He should just keep on dating people, like he has been doing since his discovery of feelings and he is sure he will find someone real soon. He is hopeful. But, he was hopeful about Yoongi too. Which turned into disappointment real soon that movie night.
Hoseok sighs as he stands in the small balcony of their shared dorm room. Night rains are always Hoseok's favourite. He prefers the day sky to be sunny and bright, and likes it when the night sky cries after everyone falls asleep in their respective homes. Not everyone needs to see the sky cry right? It's not a must that everyone should like the rain, is it?
Hoseok extends his hand letting it get drenched in the rain and watches how the water drops continuously flow down from his hands at a heavy speed, just like tears.
*
" Hoba, don't act like you never skip class."
Yoongi tells Hoseok sighing for the 10th time of the day. The Beta has decided to take Hosoek to a picnic date at the park and he has to convince the Omega to go with him. So all he could think of as an excuse was he is bored and he needs to go to a park picnic with Hoseok. And it has been one hour since Yoongi started whining to him to skip today's class and go to the picnic instead.
" Hyung, I've told you this class is important. We can go tomorrow! Please?"
Hoseok tries for the last time, which seems useless too. Because Yoongi crosses his arms over his chest and looks at Hoseok directly in the eyes, not intending to look away until he gets that yes from Hoseok.
" Hyung! You are being weird lately! And why are you so desperate to go to the park picnic today?"
Hoseok lets his frustration out suddenly without him intending to do so and sees Yoongi curling into himself visibly. Hoseok curses himself instantly. Yoongi is doing all these good things because, probably he just wants to change the way he has been acting towards Hoseok for all these times. Hoseok closes his eyes and hugs Yoongi to hide his emotions from the Beta. His own emotions are getting him in a way that's unhealthy for their friendship. And why did Yoongi have to decide to be sweet towards him in the first place. Things are turning messy before Hoseok can even control them. They should change back to normal before they completely get out of hands.
" Hyung I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap like that. I'm sorry, hmm? I'm just frustrated about that assignment that's due in just a few days, it's all just messed up. We'll go okay? We'll go today afternoon. Now we'll prepare for the picnic. Make those delicious foods and of course your favourite gimpbap and eggroll." Hoseok leaves Yoongi and flashes him a big grin that's enough to brighten up the entire room.
Although, Yoongi can't tell how genuine that smile is after that outburst. Hoseok must be so confused from all the way Yoongi has been acting.
" Just a few more days ," Yoongi tells himself. "Just a few more days Hoba and I'm gonna make everything okay. Everything is going to be fine. I promise."
" Hoba, it's okay if you really don't want to go today. I understand. We'll go tomorrow or whenever you're comfortable. We—
" Hyung '' Yoongi stops in mid sentence as Hosoek stops him holding the Beta by his shoulders.
" I want to. I just want a break from my studies a bit. I'm really under too much pressure. It's just making things more stressful for me. Please? Let's go to that picnic okay? Pleasee hyung?"
It's Hoseok's turn to whine now looking at him with his best puppy eyes and Yoongi chuckles fondly.
*
Hoseok doesn't know what Yoongi is actually doing, but he requested the former to come to the park near their dorm at 4 pm, while Yoongi himself went there thirty minutes earlier. However, Hoseok is excited to see what Yoongi has in store for him. He wants to stop getting sad over the past for once, and wants to see what Yoongi is actually doing, just for once.
As Hoseok walks into the park, he sees Yoongi standing near a tree with a sheet spread out in front of him where their foods are already arranged. Hoseok smiles under his breath assuming that Yoongi told him to come later because he wanted to make everything perfect. Hoseok's heart does a funny flip even though he doesn't want it to. He knows he shouldn't, but he wants to allow himself to enjoy the feeling for a while.
There's something in Yoongi's expression. Something Hoseok can't quite figure out. Is that a smile on Yoongi's face? Or it's just Hoseok's eyes deceiving him because of the distance. Or he could be smiling. Because — just because he adores Hoseok and smiles when he is with him. He doesn't know exactly what is going on in Yoongi's mind, yet, he smiles and waves at Yoongi.
Yoongi wants everything to be perfect, because Hoseok only deserves the best and the perfect. He arranges everything properly and lastly picks up the bouquet of flowers he ordered for Hoseok. When he sees Hoseok smiling and waving at him, Yoongi feels his palms sweating around the bouquet that he's holding behind his back, hiding from Hoseok.
Every step that Hoseok takes towards him is graceful. He feels like a literal sunshine is walking towards him, making his life brighter and more beautiful. Yoongi doesn't want to delay any more. He wants Hoseok as his right at this moment. His best friend has faced too many heartbreaks while searching for the so-called right one and Yoongi can't let that happen one more time. He doesn't know if he deserves Hoseok at all or not, but he knows one thing that he's going to love Hoseok as he deserves to be loved. He is sure he can do that much right, so he is going to do just that.
" Hyung! How do I look?"
There he goes again. Yoongi's sweaty palms feel more messy around the bouquet and his heart beat increases once more.
" You look really good Hoba."
Yoongi says calmly trying to keep his voice unwavering which he thinks he still failed to do.
Hoseok sucks in a sharp breath through his nose and he blinks a few times trying his best to suppress the big smile that tries to break through his face.
" Uh Hyung! What are you hiding from me behind you? Let me see. Is it for me?!"
Hoseok changes the topic instead and says in a high pitched voice trying to reach behind Yoongi, and the Beta moves away from Hoseok giggling to avoid the attacks.
Once Yoongi brings the bouquet in the front, he is too stunned to speak and only stares at it bewildered. There were only the bases of the flowers and some leftover petals that look like someone has eaten the rest. An awkward silence remains between them as both only stares at the bouquet of flower bases.
" You— only brought me thrones, leaves and flower bases?
Hoseok asks, confused, and his question is answered with a mmm from behind Yoongi. Both of them look behind and see it.
A goat, munching on some rose petals. They both stare at it, not being able to believe what they are seeing. Yoongi comes out of his shock with Hoseok's laughter. The Beta is too stunned to even speak and just stares at the goat like it's his sworn enemy.
" I'm so sorry hyung!" Hoseok manages between laughter.
" For…what?" Yoongi mutters while looking at the goat, now picking up a daisy from the ground that was once a part of his beautiful mixed flower bouquet for the most loved person of Yoongi's life.
" For your flowers!" Hosdok pauses for a while and Yoongi is still staring. He understands that the Beta is embarrassed. Hoseok sighs, pushing away the question at a corner of his mind as to why Yoongi brought him a bouquet in the first place.
"Hey hyung, come on!" Hoseok turns to Yoongi holding him by his shoulders and the Beta is not able to look him in the eyes.
" It's okay hyung. It doesn't matter at all. What matters for me is that you were so thoughtful about everything and did all these things for me to make me feel better in the first place." Hoseok says softly above a whisper that embraces Yoongi in the blanket of comfort and he looks up this time only to find Hoseok smiling at him warmly.
" How about we go to the beach?" Hoseok asks, which makes Yoongi look at him confused.
"Why beach?"
" I have been wanting to go to the beach for a long time. But I wanted to see what you planned for me here, so I didn't say it at first. Now that— Hoseok pauses to look back at the goat, to which Yoongi rolls his eyes.
" And as far as I know you, you're not gonna stop sulking over the flowers until you're out of this place! So why don't we pack our food again and shift our picnic to the beach hyung?"
Hoseok says softly looking at the Beta waiting for his answer. Yoongi fiddles with the hem of his shirt as he hesitates for a while and then mumbles a yes and Hoseok squeals in happiness.
_
The calming sound of the waves and the soft wind plays a sweet melody in Yoongi’s mind while he basks in the comforting presence of Hoseok beside him. The waves of the ocean feel soothing on their feet. They haven't talked much since they have been here; just enjoyed their food and let nature calm their racing mind with worry of the upcoming future. While Yoongi has been thinking about how to approach Hoseok, how the Omega might handle the proposal, Hoseok wonders how long they would go like this.
Yoongi has been staring at Hoseok for a while now, while the latter's gaze is lost somewhere in the ocean. The warm sunlight makes Hoseok look more beautiful and Yoongi swears his heart skips several beats. In his eyes, there is not one more person who is as beautiful as his best friend, his ultimate crush sitting in front of him.
“ So Beautiful!”
Hoseok comes out of his trace at the sudden voice of Yoongi coming from beside him. His heart skips a beat as he finds the Beta, his lifelong best friend looking at him in a way he only dreams, the Beta would look at him. The Omega swallows around his dried up throat as he lets out a shaky breath.
“ Wh…what is?” Hoseok whispers, trying his best to hide the waver in his voice.
“The ocean!”
Yoongi says and looks ahead hugging his knees closer to his chest with a faint smile playing on his lips. The wind passes through his hair making them dance. Hoseok nearly curses at the Beta for causing him so many heart attacks lately but controls himself looking ahead and hums slowly.
“ What did you expect me to say?” Yoongi finds himself getting bold to which he himself is surprised.
“ Oh nothing! Or probably that you were just calling yourself beautiful. You know, narcissist thing!”
Hoseok teases this time and feels salty water being splashed on his face. And in a moment, gone all their nervousness and fear. They become the two old best friends that they are, playing in the water competing on who can drench the other the most. The chirping of the birds and their laughter fills the air of the beach that evening. However, both of them feel something new in the air. It’s probably the spring air, isn’t it? Hoseok thinks.
*
Hoseok sits alone in his seat, while everyone in their university is busy with the preparation of the yearly prom. Almost everyone has been asked or asked their desired partner to the prom. Only Hoseok doesn’t know who to pair with. Every year till now, he has chosen Taehyung as his prom partner, and Yoongi chose Jungkook. But a lot has changed this year.
This morning, when Hoseok went to the library to ask Taehyung if he would do him the favour this year too, he saw the younger one standing near a bookshelf, pinned to the wall by Jimin with the latter’s lips all over his face and neck, crotch pressed to Taehyung’s. Yeah, of course, how could Hoseok forget such an important thing?! Taehyung has been pinning over the Alpha since forever. At last, the Omega gathered his courage and asked Jimin out just this year only to find out that the Apha has been pining over him too, and since that day those two have been inseparable. Seeing them, Hoseok wants to hope, but something holds him back and there is a pang in his heart. And this year, it’s the younger couple’s first prom together. There’s no way Taehyung is available to go to the prom with his single sad ass. All the Omega wanted to do then was gag. Hoseok sighed and rolled his eyes at the pair. Somehow, he found a pencil on a desk near him, and threw it towards them which startled the couple and Jimin detached himself from Taehyung, with his hands still tangled in the Omega’s hairs, holding him close; and looks at Hoseok with a frown and hooded eyes.
“ Get a room, idiots. It’s the library. “ Hoseok said above a whisper glaring.
“ But Alpha likes to show who Taetae belongs to! Right Alpha” Taehyung said then with hooded eyes chasing his Alpha’s lips.
“ Yes baby.” Jimin murmured and dived back in kissing Taehyung, grinding against him; while Hoseok rolled his eyes and threw an eraser for the second time that he found on the same table, but that didn’t do anything! Hoseok left.
Hoseok sighs, facepalming himself at the memory of that morning. He could ask Yoongi, but with the way the Beta has been behaving, he is not sure how much of a good idea that would be. As much as confused as Hoseok is, he is also already having a hard time keeping his heart at bay. The storm that Yoongi has started inside Hoseok, only he can put it out and Hoseok doesn’t know any other way, how! Also, like another unspoken rule of theirs, they never asked each other to prom.
He has three more friends left but among them Seokjin and Namjoon have been together since he knows them, and then there is Jungkook, whom Yoongi must have asked by now. But what if he hasn’t? Hoseok lifts his eyebrows at the thought, and runs gathering his belongings. On his way out, he sees Jimin and Taehyung being disgustingly cute together again, to which Hoseok scoffs.
“ Jungkook ah!”
Hoseok calls the Beta from behind who was going somewhere in a hurry and stops at the call. When he looks at Hoseok, he sees Jungkook holding a pair of suit, which looks like it just came out of iron.
“ Oh! So he already asked you to prom!” Hoseok says looking at the suit that the Beta is holdin.
“ Yeah! I’m so happy hyung! I’ve been waiting for this day for so long! They finally asked me to the prom! I’m really so happy!” Jungkook hugs Hoseok excitedly, and Hoseok is confused.
“ Wiat! They? You mean…” Hoseok breaks the hug to look at Jungkook, confusion clearly visible on his face.
“ Yeah! Seokjin hyung and Namjoon hyung!” Jungkook says, beaming with happiness.
“ Wait! wait! So yoongi hyung didn’t ask you to prom this year? Or they asked you before Hyung could even ask? And prom with two people? How are you going to dance?”
“ Heyyy! You should be happy for me! Why are you being jealous?!”
Jungkook asks with a frown and pout Hoseok only swats the younger, behind his head.
“ Dramatic ass!”
“ It’s okay. We’ll take turns. I’ll go with Seokjin hyung once, then Namjoon hyung and then they will go. It’s nothing big. Oh, and about your Yoongi hyung.”
Jungkook pauses, and Hoseok blushes at the term ‘your Yoongi Hyung.” The younger smirks before continuing,
“ He is not asking anyone else this year!”
Once again, Hoseok is confused. He looks at the younger with a confused pout.
“ What do you mean?”
“ You’ll know. Now let me go and practice my steps. I want everything to be perfect! “
Before Hoseok can say anything, Jungkook hops off like a bunny leaving the confused Omega behind.
_
It’s not long, when Hoseok knows what the younger one meant. Because when he comes out of their varsity building, it’s Yoongi, standing leaning against the tree on their meeting place, again, with a single rose. Hoseok swears, his heart almost leaps out of his chest. If Yoongi asks him to the prom, he doesn’t know if he is going to be able to contain his excitement in front of the former which is going to be really embarrassing! Hoseok already feels his hands sweating and his heart beat is increasing its pace. His head is screaming at him to not go another step forward, but he finds himself standing in front of Yoongi within a very short span of time. He must have looked so desperate coming towards him in such a hurry. The Omega curses himself under his breath.
“ Hoba!”
Yoongi exclaims with a smile so bright that it almost stops Hoseok’s heart from beating. He seriously needs to stop if he cares about his life long friend’s sanity, Hoseok thinks. Or wait, isn’t it only him? Yoongi always smiles at him like this. It’s not the first time either. Hoseok finds himself in a really conflicting situation.
Yoongi has been waiting for Hoseok for a long time. Usually Hoseok doesn’t take this long to come out of the class that he took today. The moment Yoongi sees Hoseok walking towards him with a smile that almost looks tranced, the Beta feels his heart in his throat.
They have never been to the prom together. Yoongi has always assumed that it’s because Hoseok always tries to look for the perfect partner for himself, which the Omega believes to find one day soon. Yoongi really wanted that for Hoseok, for all those times. Of course he would! They are best friends and Yoongi only wants the best for Hoseok. However, there has always been something hiding behind that well- wish. Something that Yoongi could see only if he took a dive in the deepest darkest place of his heart. The hidden desire Yoongi has always had is to have the Omega in his arms. The desire that always came on the surface seeing Hoseok in the arms of another Alpha. Now, for the first time, he feels a bit strange, a bit bold, and different to accept that feeling that he once intended to always keep hidden and asleep. He knows Hoseok will say yes, he will always say yes. Yet, Yoongi feels nervous to know that he is going to ask Hseok, his lifelong best friend and ultimate crush, to the prom.
“ Hyung!”
Hoseok manages to reply just that. Yoongi feels his throat drying up before he speaks.
“ Wil…Will you go to the prom with me?”
Hoseok loses his ability to speak and he feels rooted to his place. He blinks and his eyes move between Yoongi and the rose that is extended towards him. He should take the rose. To make matters less awkward, he should smile big and say yes. Things between them should never be awkward. It’s like his hands have a mind of their own, because when Hoseok mentally feels rooted to the place, he finds himself reaching out for the rose, and just like his hands just moved on their own, a huge smile breaks on his face, to which Yoongi’s eyes sparkle.
“ Of course hyung! I’ll be looking forward to it!”
Hoseok doesn’t know what just happened. He only knows, he has preparation to do for a prom that he has been waiting for what feels like almost a lifetime!
_
Normally in a situation like this when Hoseok is feeling so overwhelmed, he would go and cuddle up to Yoongi, and the latter would just hold him without any word said. They have had countless nights or days like this, when one would knock on the other’s door, and they would be able to tell just from the face of the other that they’re not here for talk, but only cuddles. And they would do just that. The unspoken communication between them has always been strong and something that’s only theirs.
But, Hoseok is scared now that he can’t even do that tonight. If he goes to Yoongi for a cuddle, he would for sure start babbling nonsense, or Yoongi would know something is seriously wrong with him when his crazily racing heart would press against Yoongi’s chest. So, Hoseok chooses not to go tonight and just cuddles up to his body pillow.
If he came to Yoongi’s room right now, Hoseok would know that the other was in kind of a similar state at this moment.
*
It's after 3 days, when Yoongi finds himself on the prom dance floor with his Omega in his arms looking down at him with wide eyes. Yoongi can feel his heart in his throat and hands sweaty on Hoseok's waist. For the first time in their entire life, Yoongi is living the moment he has been dreaming for a while now. He sees a galaxy in the Omega's eyes who smiles softly at him which Yoongi returns.
" Hyung you're sweating. Are you okay?" Hoseok asks above a whisper, concerned.
Yeah of course. I have the love of my life in my arms right now, so close, and I’m almost close to losing my shit. Yeah of course,
" I'm fine. Of course. I guess it's the crowd, and it's hot in here. I'm fine really."
Yoongi says, his voice almost wavers in the end. Hoseok smiles and nods.
" Okay. If you say so."
Hoseok still hasn't come out of the feeling of shock he got seeing Yoongi this evening. Hoseok was too nervous to even eat anything and he just paced around his room thinking of the dance steps he looked at over youtube and changing his decision over his outfits. After three torturous days of waiting, when finally this evening Hoseok laid his eyes on Yoongi who was waiting for Hoseok for them to leave together, Hoseok’s heart skipped a beat, and this time, it was more serious than all the time before. Yoongi has always been handsome, Hoseok admits that. But, in that suit, his life long best friend looks more handsome and charming making it hard for the blonde to not stare at him shamelessly in a not so friendly way. Hoseok knows for sure, he can’t just simply look at Yoongi only as a friend anymore. it’s simply not possible anymore for the Omega when the former looks like the best man out there and a fine deal, hard to find. Hoseok swallowed hard that evening under the intense gaze of his ultimate crush knowing well that he was done for.
Having Yoongi so close feels like a fever dream to Hoseok. Feeling the hot breath of the Beta on his neck, sends a shiver down his spine. This is the closest he has ever been to Yoongi. He feels himself almost going lax in Yoongi's hold as they sway to the music. Hoseok’s heart beat picks up and his breathing becomes heavy with every passing second. He needs to calm himself down. Friends are not supposed to feel like this, this close. He has never been this close to Yoongi and it has been too long for Hoseok to keep his calm anymore. Since
The famous couple of their varsity were making out again instead of being decent beings. Of course, Jimin and Taehyung. Almost half of the varsity knows by now of the pair’s exhibitionism. If they only knew, they were just making things worse for Hoseok! Yoongi was sitting right beside him, looking reserved and radiating his calm aura, while sipping on his drink. While Hoseok is busy keeping his tie knot loose and mind calm. Yoongi looks gorgeous tonight. He always does though, but he seems special tonight. May be its Hoseok’s stupid heart again. Who knows.
“ I swear I’m gonna beat Jimin’s ass up and kick them both out of this building right now. They are being really annoying right now and I hate them!” Yoongi murmurs beside Hoseok and the Omega can’t help but chuckle even in nervousness.
“ Not Taehyung at least! Anyone can tell you are whipped for the kid. You only wanted to just beat Jimin’s ass, not Taehyung’s though. You’re being horribly biassed! Leave my babies alone! ”
Hoseok almost saids out louder than necessary, because that’s what he does when he is nervous, be loud. Yoongi scofs beside him and Hoseok takes a sip to hide the visible lump on his throat from swallowing hard. The blonde’s throat feels like the Sahara desert and he prays to all gods up there that he should have his own personal fountain in his throat for this type of situations.
“ Why don’t they just dance like decent people? They will have the entire night ahead to do these childish and teenagerish things!”
Yoongi grumbles in irritation and there it is! Another pang in Hoseok’s heart. He thinks of public affection as childish and teenagerish! But what if it’s because of their continuous public display of affection? Almost half of the varsity rolls their eyes at them. Maybe because they are jealous! To not have something like them! Just getting lost in each other all the time without caring about the world. How badly Hoseok wishes to have… Wait! Was he just being jealous of his most adored friends and dongsaengs? He shouldn't, right? It’s his fault that he is still not able to have the Beta for himself. Or, is it? Is it his fault that…
“ May I have the dance my lad?”
Hoseok’s heart leaps almost to his throat at Yoongi’s sudden act. He feels rooted at his place and blood rushes to his ears, while his cheeks feel hot.
Yoongi praises himself in his mind. He has been doing great since the evening. Courting the Omega was not supposed to be this hard. He is realising the meaning of the proverb really well now, easier said than done. The moment he laid his eyes on Hoseok this evening, he knew that was it for him. He said farewell to his sanity the moment his best friend looked at him with those big sparkly eyes full of sunshine., and there was something different this time. Yoongi knows what it is. Hope. Hope that maybe, he is finally being seen as a man by his best friend. And it thrills Yoongi to know that soon that hope is going to be turned into reality and he is the one who is going to do it. He can’t wait to see that bright face of the love of his life to brighten up more at the proposal that the Omega has probably been waiting for a long time. During these one month of courting, Yoongi realised one tithing; more like saw one thing in Hoseok’s eyes. Sparkle, whenever Yoongi does something that’s more than friendly. And that gives Yoongi hope, motivates him like nothing does and inspires him like the first sun of the dawn enlightens a dark forest.
Yoongi wanted to beat those horny ass kids for real tonight. He was already having a hard time gathering the courage to ask Hoseok to dance. It’s true that he has already asked his best friend to come to the prom with him and that’s why they are here. But asking for dance is another challenge for Yoongi. And Jimin and Taehtyung were making it worse for him. And he realises what he has done as soon as he says “ childish and teenagerish thing”. He needs to fix it soon, and— Yoongi almost feels his legs turning into a jello from shaking too much under the intense and shocked gaze of Hoseok, just after asking the latter for the dance.
He doesn’t know how the hell he is even managing to hold this calm and unimpressed impression and how he is not fainting yet. The Beta feels his heart racing like it’s running the marathon. When his hands feel sweaty while holding Hoseok’s, Yoongi is not sure whose hands are those . He thinks it’s both of theirs, and somewhere inside him, his Beta rejoices at the knowledge that he has the same effect on the Omega is courting. Yoongi’s hope rises to another bar. As Hoseok slips a hand on his waist, Yoongi feels his heart doing a flip and he breathes carefully through his nose trying his best not to show the shakiness in it. The blak haired man feels the height difference really well in this position and his heart flutters at how small he feels in the arms of Hoseok. Yoongi never likes to feel small in front of anyone. Even if he does, he covers that with his serious look. However, when it comes to Hoseok, the Beta feels butterflies and their height difference does things to him. He wants to feel small in front of the Omega. Damn he wants to… Yoongi starts coughing violently at the inappropriate thought at the worst moment.
“ Hyung! What happened? Are you alright?”
Hoseok’s concerned face looks down at him and he looks so soft under the red and blue light. Yoongi wouldn’t if he has to stay here for the rest of his life, held so close that he can almost feel the racing heart of his best friend. There’s nowhere he would rather be!
“ Y…yeah. Yeah! I’m alright. Just… the wrong pipes!” The shorter flashes his tight lipped smile at Hoseok to which the taller frowns and looks at him confused.
“ You sure? You’re sweating. It’s not even that hot here!” Hoseok says worried now, whipping at Yoongi’s sweat drenched forehead to which the shorter wrenches at embarrassment of his sweat at being touched by his ultimate crush.
“ Hoba! You’re getting your hands dirty. I’m fine really. We can keep dancing.”
Yoongi says and tries to move away but he realises that Hoseok is still holding him tight close by his waist. He stops abruptly at the sudden pull because of his sudden movement and Hoseok’s firm grip on his waist.
Hoseok’s eyes widen at their sudden closeness and he can feel Yoongi’s hot breath on his lips. The taller one gets lost in Yoongi’s eyes and the rest of the world seems to blur for him. All he sees is the galaxy of thousands of stars staring back at him deep in the eyes. Hoseok wants to swim in the depth of that galaxy, get lost in them and never find his way back. He wants to live there, whispering his wishes to all the stars for them to carry them to his best friend later.
None of them realises that their lips almost touch until the song changes and brings them back to earth. They both separate abruptly and look anywhere but at each other.
“ It…it's hot in here! I think we should go somewhere outside!”
Yoongi says and leaves without giving the taller man any chance to speak. It takes Hoseok a while before he gets his composure back and actually moves.
_
The calming wind of the depth of the night calms Yoongi’s mind as he breathes in letting the fresh air fill his lungs. He doesn't know how he is going to confess to Hoseok. Yes it’s true that he knows Hoseok is hopeful to have something with him. But what if— what if another step in their relationship ruins their friendship of years?! Yoongi can’t afford to lose that. Their friendship is too precious for him to lose just because he wants the Omega as his. If he doesn’t propose, they can remain as friends and maybe, maybe it would be the best for their friendship? But, if things keep going the way it’s going, how much guarantee is there that their friendship is going to last? He just came to the conclusion that day that he is the only one who can give Hoseok what he truly deserves. But now he thinks about things deeper, what if a relationship ruins everything else? He has seen a lot of friendships come to an end just because they decided to give in to their feelings and get into a relationship. Will they be any different from them? Yoongi knows it’s a mutual responsibility, but Hoseok deserves the best, because he is the best. The Beta knows that his best friend is a person who would do anything to make a relationship last if it’s anything good. So, Yoongi questions himself, would he himself be able to hold their relationship together once they take the step forward? Will he be truly able to give hoseok what he deserves? Will he—
“ Drink?”
Yoongi gets startled at the sudden but familiar voice that brings him out of his thoughts. Taehyung is smiling at him while holding a wine glass towards him.
“ How are you still aware of the real world? You two assholes were literally devouring each other like animals in there. I thought soon you were going to have your heads in each others’ asses.” Yoongi scoffs as he takes the drink with his nose scrunched like he is doubting the glass.
“ Your hand is clean right?” Yoongi asks with a disgusted expression looking suspiciously at the glass, to which the younger only pouts.
“Uh HYUNG!” Taehyung whines and Yoongi takes a sip smirking.
“ We’re not animals. We know the boundaries.” Taehyung whines and Yoongi raises his eyebrow at him to which Taehyung rolls his eyes sitting beside the elder on the grass.
“ Scared huh?” The younger asks, taking a sip of his own drink looking up at the sky, from where thousands of stars are watching over them. Yoongi doesn’t say anything, instead only takes a sip of his own drink.
“ I was scared too, hyung. Jimin—he is my other half and I never felt like I could ever go on in my life without him. I was so scared of losing our friendship over my feelings and that made me act like a stupid, while I could just enjoy our time together. It’s true it was not stupid at first because I didn’t know. I was too scared to see the truth, but hyung.” Taehyung looks at Yoongi who stares down at his glass at hand.
“ It’s worth the risk. When you’re in love with your lifelong best friend, it’s worth the risk, hyung. Life is short and we don’t know where we will be in the next 5 minutes; so we should take all the opportunities we can find to spend the times of our life with the one we love. If you understand each other, respect each other, and want to hold on to each other, that’s all you need to make it work. Nothing else. And I know you and Hoseok hyung have, it’s worth it. You can do it better. Trust yourself, follow your heart hyung.” Taehyung says, that makes Yoongi look up at him and return the smile that the younger one is wearing.
*
Hoseok and Yoongi are currently in their hometown due to the semester break of their University. It’s nice to spend time with their family after such a long time. They both are enjoying their time to the fullest and make as many memories as they can to cherish later during their boring dorm life away from the comfort of home, where the only home they have is each other and their sweet friends.
Hoseok is sitting on the park bench where they grew up playing every afternoon waiting for evening to come so they can savour their favourite snacks made by their parents before going to study. Those were some golden days they both miss dearly and crave to have them back at the exchange of anything even for once. This park holds a lot of memories. Memories of their childhood, memories of their friendship, and the memory of their first meeting. The memory that makes Hoseok feel warm in heart and fondness fills him to the core.
It was a normal afternoon like everyday. Hoseok was playing with his neighbourhood friends. It was recently before his school started. When the ball went a bit far, Hoseok went to bring the ball back and that’s when he saw the boy sitting under the tree, hugging his knees close to his chest. The boy had a scary look on his face. Despite that, to Hoseok, he was the cutest kid he had ever seen till then. The ball long forgotten on the ground, Hoseok walked towards the new kid with curious and cautious steps.
“ Hi!”
Hoseok said above a whisper to which the boy looked at him, and nodded his head looking really unimpressed and uninterested.
“ Mom says not to talk to strangers. My name is Hoseok. Jung Hoseok. What’s your name?”
Hoseok said with his broken Hangul, that he managed to master at the age of four. He looked up to find his mother on the bench at a distance smiling down at him making an encouraging gesture with her head.
“ Min Yoongi.” The other boy said, looking at him with an expression that looked like a smile, but Hoseok was not sure if he was really smiling.
“ Wanna play with us?”
Hoseok asked, gesturing at the boys that were busy playing something else now. Yoongi shook his head in no and looked down, which made Hoseok coo at him. Considering his age, he was not in the place to coo at another child, but he just couldn’t stop himself. He already loved this Yoongi child.
“ But why? You are sitting alone here anyways!” Hoseok says, tilting his head to the side like a confused puppy.
“ People say I’m scary. They always ask me to stay away from their groups. They never want me in teams. So I stay away now.”
Yoongi said only above a whisper looking so sad that Hoseok’s heart hurts for him.
“ I’ll never ask you to stay away. Will you be my friend? We will play together!”
Hoseok said, flashing his brightest smile for his new friend. Yongi seemed to find hope in his words because he looks up at him blinking at his extended hand of friendship.
“ Really? You want me to be your friend?” The boy asked in disbelief like he was dreaming.
“ Yes. Really!” Hoseok chimed at the other boy, waving his hand in front of him to take.
“ You won't ask me to go away like others always do?”
Yoongi asked, almost pouting. How could anyone ever ask a cute boy like him to leave, Hoseok didn’t understand really. He nodded excitedly, smiling widely.
“ Okay.” Yoongi said and took his hand, to welcome a friendship that was going to change his life forever,
Far from them, Yoongi’s mother asked Hoseok’ mother, “ Is that your son?”
Hoseok’s mother moved her gaze from his son and the kid, only to find a Beta woman looking at her smiling. She smiled widely and says, “ yes.”
“ This is the first time I’m seeing some kid approaching my son willingly. They seem to like each other!” Yoongi’s mother says with a sweet smile.
“ Well then rest assured. Because soon your son is going to ask you to let that new kid away from him. Because my son can really be a clinger!”
Hoseok’s mother said jokingly and laughed, Yoongi’s mother joined in. And she clearly was wrong about the asking to leave him alone because Yoongi has never been this happy before to have someone clung to him like Hoseok does.
~
“ Reliving old days, are we?”
Hoseok is brought back to earth by Yooongi’s voice who sits beside him and Hoseok smiles.
“ I really still don’t get it, how people could hate a precious baby like you hyung. You were just so cute!” Hoseok makes a baby noise making a gesture with his hands to squish his cheeks.
“ Was , cute?!” Yoongi acts surprised.
“ You’ve aged you know?!”
Hoseok says making a face teasing Yoongi who stares at the Omega with raised eyebrows and scoffs after a while. There is a comforting silence between them, their unspoken words filling the space between them. And then,
“ How about we age together?” Yoongi says making Hoseok’s world stop in a skip of heartbeat.
“ Are We not doing that already?”
Hoseok manages to get the words out above a whisper. It’s finally that moment he has been waiting for almost the half of his life as long as he remembers. He barely finds it in him to form any words. The taller’s heart is racing like crazy in his chest.
“ You know what I mean Hoba.”
Yoongi says softly and turns his entire body towards Hoseok who is looking at him breathless now. Taking Hoseok’s hands in his Yoongi takes a deep breath in. He has gathered a lot of courage to face this moment. The last grounding he needs is a touch from Hoseok. He feels Hoseok’s fingers wrapping around the backside of his hands. Yoongi doesn’t hold back the shaky breath today. Nothing is hidden between them anymore. Once he looks into Hoseok's eyes like he did all those years ago, everything comes naturally, feels so easy. Like it shouldn’t be anything else but this. He feels they should have been at this place longer before.
“ Hoba! You said that day that you’ll never ask me to stay away. Will you do it even if the entire society is telling you to ask me that same thing?” The words come out without any resistance from Yoongi’s mouth as he keeps staring at Hoseok.
“ It’s only you that matters Hyung. And what I feel for you.”
Hoseok believes that he doesn’t need to ask Yoongi why he said that day that he would never be in a relationship with him even if he is the last person on earth. He feels that he already knows the answer and Yoongi doesn’t owe him any answer to that.
“ Are you sure?”
It comes out easily. Like he doesn't need to explain anything to Hoseok.
The Omega suddenly knows the answer to all those confusions about Yoongi’s sudden change in behaviour since the last 6 months. He feels like Yoongi’s eyes are telling his everything to him and he doesn’t need any more answers.
“ I'm in love with you Hoba. And I’m sorry for not realising it soon that you deserve better than those who always make you cry like that. I can’t promise that I’ll be the best, that I’ll be what you truly deserve, because you only deserve the best.But I can promise to keep loving you and hold you close till my last brea-
“ Can I kiss you hyung?”
Hoseok mumbles leaning closer to Yoongi and one glance from Yoongi at Hoseok’s lips is enough to answer him. Hoseok closes the gap between them so easily like it was always supposed to be this way, nothing else. They fit so perfectly that Yoongi wonders why has he always been so stupid?! They could have been together as a couple for all those years. But it doesn’t matter now. All that matters is that they are together now, and Yoongi kisses Hoseok back like making up for all those lost years. His hands clutch at Hoseok’s shirt keeping himself grounded, like Hoseok’s touches are keeping him at bay, keeping him from getting lost anywhere other than Hoseok. Yoongi breathes Hoseok in for the first time and he knows he is home.
The last sun of the evening slowly sets, providing them all the warmth of that day, with a promise to rise tomorrow again with new hopes and new light to witness their union of a new start.
*
" Aah hyung" Hoseok moans for what feels like the hundredth time as he pulls the Beta by his hairs.
" What? Want me to stop, baby?"
The shorter one lifts his head up from the taller one's ass, to look up at him with hooded eyes and licks the slick of his mate that’s attached around his lips. It's his day to take care of his Omega. The mating mark on Hoseok's neck stares back at Yoongi under the bright light of the moon coming through the window, making the latter's dick twitch between his legs.
" Stop teasing hyung!"
Hoseok pants, shutting his eyes tight as he throws his head back on the pillow.
" Stop pulling my hair!"
It's not that he doesn't like the sensation, but he likes to play with his Hoba. Hoseok obeys silently and puts his hands above his head pushing his ass towards Yoongi's face more.
" Good boy!"
Yongi says and dives back at eating his Omega out. Hoseok makes a sound of mmm as he clutches the pillow biting at the bottom lip.
" Feels good hyung. I'm being good ain't I?!" Hoseok keeps mumbling, too far gone.
" So good. Tastes so good!"
Yoongi mumbles with his mouth full and pushes his tongue deeper causing Hoseok moan out louder, the Beta's name.
" Call my name like that baby. Call me hyung." Yoongi says as he comes up takes Hoseok in his mouth at one go making the Omega scream.
" HYUNG! Hyung hyung hyung! " Hosek can't seem to stop.
" Hyung, I'm close. So close! " Hoseok cries out as he feels his own body going tense under Yoongi
" Cum for hyung baby. You're hyung's good boy. You're giving hyung pups. My good Omega."
Yoongi says with the head of Hoseok's cock in his mouth and places a kiss on the head. He starts bobbing his head at a new found speed and it's not long till Hoseok spills in his mouth making Yoongi hum in satisfaction.
The blonde grunts in satisfaction and his chest rises and falls with even breaths. Yoongi cleans his mate while Hoseok lies down with a satisfied smile on his face. After cleaning is done, the Beta bends down and kisses Hoseok's baby bump. Their little miracle. Taking Hoseok in his arms, Yoongi snuggles closer and kisses his mate lazily but softly at the same time, while caressing his swollen belly. Times like this are what Yoongi looks forward to everyday. His Omega in his arms, happy and content and their little miracle growing inside his womb.
Everyone around them was worried about whether they would be able to become parents to their own child. But they believed— they believed in luck and in their love. And within the fourth year of being mated, they got blessed with their first little miracle, Yoonji; who is sleeping peacefully in her room and now of 2 years old. This is their second miracle now, the result of their love, who is growing inside Hoseok letting known of their presence now and then.
And they love the feeling of their body against Hoseok's belly. Yoongi has to talk to them and caress his mate's belly softly over the place where they would raise their foot or hand. They would slowly calm down then, giving relief to the Omega. Yoongi believes Hoseok is the best parent to their children. The best partner he could ever find in his entire life.
Taehyung was right. All he needed to do was understand Hosoeok, respect him and do his best to hold him close. And they came till here. In the sixth year of their mated life, he believes they will go till the end. Only if he just has Hoseok by his side like he is right now.
" If you keep being like this, we're gonna have to ask any of our friends to baby sit Yoonji." Hoseok murmurs against Hoseok's lips leaving pecks.
" That's the worst idea ever."
Hoseok murmurs this time and continues after leaving several pecks on his mate's lips.
" Jimin and Taehyung fucks like animals, and I firmly believe we're gonna have to start babysitting their baby within 2 more months. Namjoon and Seokjin hyung have three babies to handle. Two, their own, and one their big giant baby Jungkookie. So, you still think that's a good idea babe?"
Hoseok says above a whisper in his sex raspy tone and gives Yoongi wet smooches on his lips. He can't help it. Hormones keep making him horny within each three to four hours and Yoongi is doing a great job at taking care of him. He can go into labour anytime the next month and the last moment of pregnancy always gets its kick on Hoseok.
" You're right on that though." Yoongi says and Hoseok smirks at him sensually.
" I'm always right, baby."
He leans in to kiss Yoongi more and he gives in. He doesn't have it in him to say no to Hoseok. It's not that Hoseok ever took advantage of that, but in bed? He surely does almost every night.
When they had their first pup, Hoseok was more horny than he is this time. And Yoongi was always there to take care of him. Sometimes, Hoseok got hard at how energetic Yoongi always managed to be despite always being occupied with the Omega. But he took care of it all. Hoseok's desires, his needs, his small things, their child, taking turns in taking care of Yoonji, holding her close like the most precious gem she is, everything. And He is perfect for Hoseok, for his children. Hoseok can never think of anyone else in Yoongi's place.
And if they're together, they can figure out anything, he knows that by now. Soft and even snoring sounds ring in his ears coming from the baby monitor.
Listening to the calm heartbeat of the love of his life right under his ear, Hoseok slowly drifts off to sleep knowing that there is nowhere he would rather be. He feels soft movements inside himself— probably the hands! He remembers thinking, before going into a deep peaceful slumber.
