Taehyung x You

Word Count: 378

“You know, we could just leave and not look back.”

Replaying his words back in your mind for the nth time that night, you sighed heavily as you looked out at the deserted train station. A white puff of air was visible, it was even cold enough this autumn night to see your own breath. The leaves had already begun to fall off the trees even though winter hadn’t transitioned just yet. Winter seemed to be coming this early and with it so was the dark, depressing days that you always seemed to get wrapped up in. A lot of people had seasonal depression, with the short days and long nights. So much of your time was spent in the coming darkness and you couldn’t escape.

So, why had you thought leaving with Taehyung would let you escape the comings of bitter wind always seeming to chase after you like school children in the playground, circling around you with taunts of a break only to close their grasp even tighter than the last.

“This isn’t anything like how I imagined it.”

His dyed light brown wavy hair swung down into his face as he tilted his head at you, the stretch of his lips showing those pearly teeth of his in the shape of a box. Like the break in the clouds, the sun shone through, beating down on you. Picking up your hand, he placed it between his much larger ones, holding them up between the two of you at eye level. Pressing his fingers just a little harder against your own.

“It’s not how I imagined it either… but I’m glad it’s you beside me.”

His fingers slotted between yours and folded over your hand engulfing it. Leaning forward he pressed his lips gently to the back of your hand, gazing directly at you. Taehyung’s eyes were burning brightly in the darkness surrounding you, the chill of the whisper of the winds dissipating with each passing moment.Sitting on this bench on the empty platform of the train station without so much of a thin jacket wasn’t what you hadn’t romanticized about but the man sitting next to you, transferred all of his warmth to you and made it more than worth your while.

“Me too.”
