Jeongguk has a ridiculous weak spot for Taehyung read: he's whipped

 

note: some people have been having trouble finding the chapter? so I've pasted the entire story below as well :)

 

----

 

 

I.

 

 

Taehyung is sitting cross-legged at the foot of their bed, arms crossed tightly in indignation. His lemon-yellow pajama shirt slipping off his right shoulder. “But Gukkie ” he whines, fluttering his eyelashes, sporting the most adorable expression.

 

Jeongguk groans, exaggeratedly, rolling over from his front to face his petulant boyfriend. “Tired” he mutters, eyelids flickering, suppressing the urge to smile at the ridiculously endearing lump that’s making his left foot go dead.

 

Reaching out a slender finger, Taehyung prods his thigh impatiently, “pleaseeeee” he begs, flashing a sickeningly-sweet smile. Jeongguk inwardly curses his out-of-control weakness for the boy.

 

“No” Jeongguk grunts, unrelenting, closing his eyes to shut out the sight of Taehyung, knowing he was going to crack. They both knew he would yield eventually, he always did.

 

Jeongguk stiffens as a cold hand creeps up under his shorts, “I’ll reward you” Taehyung purrs, voice dropping a few octaves. Stifling a laugh Jeongguk swats the hand away, the nerve Kim Taehyung.

 

Flopping forwards, his entire dead body weight on top of Jeongguk, Taehyung grumbles, “hungry”. Jeongguk can feel the shape of his lips, pouting, pressed into his neck. Taehyung nibbles at the flesh “I’ll have to eat you” he huffs.

 

Feeling his self-control dissolve as usual Jeongguk mutters out a near-silent “ fine ”. Much to the delight of a certain Kim Taehyung, who immediately springs up, kneeing Jeongguk’s groin in the process.

 

“ sorry Guk” he giggles, face far from sorry. Jeongguk could feel a grin forming despite his attempts to maintain his frowny demeanour. I mean how could anyone stay irritated or even fake it at that face?

 

“Let’s get a cheese crust!” Taehyung announces, flinging on a hoodie Jeongguk’s favourite hoodie at that. “Come on” he sings, grabbing Jeongguk’s hand, pulling him from the bed.

 

Jeongguk moans in mock exasperation all the way to the pizza parlour, Taehyung swings their hands along, beaming from ear-to-ear.

 

“You are the best Jeonggukie” he whispers, looking up at him in adoration. Jeongguk smiles at the compliment, warmth spreading throughout his body from the small soft hand, clutching his own.

 

“I know” he smirks, pressing a soft kiss on the others forehead, voice hushed as he discloses “only for you.”

 

 

II.

 

 

Jeongguk is definitely, definitely not going to crack this time. They’re in the middle of the shopping mall, and he can spot a bouncy brunette, sprinting in his direction. He’s holding some sort of obnoxious looking jacket? The look in his eyes tells Jeongguk that the jacket is probably going to be hanging in their closet by tonight.

 

Taehyung’s a foot away, excitedly waving the jacket no , apron? Two? Jeongguk’s eyebrows shoot up incredulously.

 

“Aren’t they just perfect ” Taehyung breathes, shoving the aprons up to Jeongguk’s face for inspection.

 

One ing Iron Man apron and one Captain America apron .

 

Jeongguk chokes on a non-existent drink, spluttering audibly, his head instantly shakes from side-to-side. “No Taehyung. No way.”

 

Undeterred Taehyung begins to put on Captain America , spinning around in delight.

“Steve Rogers” Taehyung drawls, in his exceptionally low voice, sticking out a hand in Jeongguk’s direction expectantly.

 

Sighing reluctantly Jeongguk grabs the other, flinging it over his head, “Tony Stark” he mumbles quietly, refusing Taehyung’s hand.

 

God you’re lucky I love you.

 

Jeongguk falls asleep that night practically inhaling Taehyung’s hair as the other curls into his chest. Right before he drifts into dreamland the moonlight hits the crack in the curtains, illuminating the two aprons spread across the chair.

 

“” Jeongguk mutters.

 

 

 

III.

 

Taehyung bursts through the doors of their apartment, (which isn’t an unusual entry). Jeongguk looks up from his spot on the couch, raised eyebrow as Taehyung leaps into his lap.

 

“They’re coming” he rambles on excitedly, as he does, not often stopping to explain things to Jeongguk. Jeongguk simply nods as if he understands, “that’s great Tae.”

 

Multiple incoherencies flowing from Taehyung’s tongue, Jeongguk eventually calms him down enough to really understand just what is going on.

“Big Bang!” Taehyung yelps, fist in the air with a loud whoop. Jeongguk softens smiling, they both love Big Bang, it was something they’d initially bonded over when they first met. “We’ll go baby” Jeongguk says, standing up (with Taehyung still in his arms).

 

“JEON JEONGGUK IS THE BEST BOYFRIEND IN THE WORLD” Taehyung yells. Jeongguk shushes him, rather half-heartedly, but it's a must, as their neighbours frequently complain about Taehyung’s noise.

 

Twelve days later, Jeongguk is waiting, baited breath on the ticketing website for 12.00pm to strike and the ticket sale to start. They’d debated over which seats they could afford, deciding that the silver seating would be a great view, but not break the bank.

 

The gold seating with a meet and greet flickered just above the cursor catching Jeongguk’s attention. Taehyung would really really love to meet them.

 

Swiping upwards as 12.00pm rolled around Jeongguk didn’t hesitate to buy the most expensive tickets.

 

"Because I wanted them too" he explained to a shell-shocked Taehyung, full-well knowing he was absolutely a liar.

Taehyung’s excited smile and shriek as he launched himself at the other was worth more than a million Big Bang meet-and-greets not that Jeongguk would admit that.

 

 

IV.

 

Just why Jeongguk thought he could take Taehyung to a dog shelter on a lazy Sunday and not return with an actual dog he had no idea.

 

Taehyung was sprawled out in the middle of the floor, surrounded by practically every dog in the shelter, the absolute picture of happiness.

 

“Look at this one Gukkie!” he cooed, holding up the tenth little puppy to his face, nuzzling it against his cheek.

 

“Ooh and this one!” he sighed, clutching another, “best day ever” he declared emphatically.

 

As the hour they were allowed was drawing to a close, Jeongguk couldn’t help but notice the uncharacteristic silence that had settled over Taehyung.

 

“What’s up babe?” he questioned, settling down beside him.

 

Taehyung was pouting, lower lip trembling, uh oh , Jeongguk knew that look. The look that came about when he was going to request something Jeongguk would protest and then relent embarrassingly fast.

 

“We can’t leave this guy here” Taehyung implored, looking up at Jeongguk. “Taehyung” Jeongguk spoke gently, “we can’t just buy a dog ”.

 

Taehyung scowled momentarily “If you leave Teddy here all alone I’m staying .”

 

“Teddy?” Jeongguk asked, tone questioning, “that’s what we’re calling him” Taehyung was saying, scrambling to his feet. Jeongguk noticed that he hadn’t let go of his grip on Teddy.

 

Okay so maybe Teddy was a teeny bit adorable. Or perhaps Taehyung & Teddy combined were a teeny bit adorable.  Jeongguk was melting rapidly, unable to tear his eyes away from the adorable duo.

 

Jeongguk found himself leaving the shelter with Taehyung and Teddy in tow.

 

 

V.

 

 

 

“Jeongukkie” Taehyung sing-songed, “yes baby?” Jeongguk asked, smiling fondly at the other.

 

“Today’s the best” Taehyung admitted, snuggling into his side as they walked. It was not the easiest way to walk, Taehyung clinging like a Koala, but Jeongguk didn't mind, it was Taehyung after all.

 

Jeongguk laughed, “you say that a lot of days Tae”, ruffling the others hair affectionately.

 

“Because every day is the best with you” Taehyung continued, looking up sweetly. Taehyung was never one to hide affection, always finding it easy to show his true feelings to Jeongguk.

 

Jeongguk could still remember the first time Taehyung had said “I love you”, Jeongguk had leaned back a shocked expression on his face. It was a little early along to say “I love you” he’d thought. Taehyung (as always) had read his mind. “I don’t care if it’s too soon, I do, so why shouldn’t I say it?” he’d said simply, Jeongguk’s heart had burst at his innocent heart-felt confession.

 

“Ooooh” Taehyung’s eyes widened at something and Jeongguk laughed at the familiar expression.

 

“Lets get these” he jabbed a finger in the shop window at a display, Jeongguk leaned in further, “couple rings!” Taehyung sang excitedly, grabbing both of Jeongguk’s hands and pressing them to his chest.

 

Jeongguk stepped back, biting his lip, a little bit nervous and Taehyung immediately sensed the change in his mood, they could read each other like a book by this stage. Taehyung cocked up his head, eyes softly questioning.

 

“We don’t need those” Jeongguk said, averting his gaze slightly.

 

“Why?” Taehyung asked, expression innocently unaware.

 

“B-because, because I have a more special one for you” Jeongguk admitted shyly, before eventually making eye contact to gauge the others expression.

 

Taehyung’s eyes widened and his lips parted slightly and Jeongguk could feel the light heat of the gasp that left his lips.

 

“Gukkie… a-are you sure?”

 

“Yes” Jeongguk said, finally finding his confidence, “I’ve never been more sure of anything” he continued, expression tender.

 

Stepping forward he resumed their earlier position, hands clasped together, bodies close.

 

“Kim Taehyung” he whispered, feeling the others heartbeat quickening at the same rate as his own.

 

“Yes” Taehyung whispered, eyes welling up with tears.

 

“Marry me?” Jeongguk asked, smile lighting up his entire face.

 

“Forever” Taehyung breathed, jumping up into Jeongguk’s arms, burying his head into his shoulder.

 

“Are you crying Kim Taehyung?” Jeongguk chuckled as the hot tears hit the nape of his neck.

 

“I love you, Jeonggukie” Taehyung said between sniffles, pressing into him as tight as possible,

 

“I love you, Tae” Jeongguk replied simply, holding on just as tight.
