“Give it back” Yoongi’s voice was deadpan, demanding

Jimin looked up from his cappuccino, blinking tiredly at the elder “Don’t you have class right now?”

“Yes” Yoongi nodded solemnly “So give it back”

“I don’t get it” Taehyung piped up from across the table “What’d Jimin take”

“His hoodie” Jimin answered tugging the collar of the sweatshirt he was wearing for emphasis “I’m not giving it back yet though”

“Park Jimin I swear to god” Yoongi pouted tugging Jimin’s sleeve roughly “It’s early and I need to get to class just give me my ing jacket”

“Can’t” Jimin hummed, taking a gulp of his sweet coffee “I’m not wearing a shirt underneath it so I’d be for the world to see”

“That’s not my problem” Yoongi shrugged, tugging the sleeve again “Give it back, you ”

“No” Jimin whined, drawing the word out for longer than necessary “It’s warm and comforting and smells like you and I need that for my test today Yoongi”

Yoongi huffed, crossing his arms and staring at him “ing fine” he groaned, grabbing Jimin’s coffee and walking away

“Hey!” Jimin protested “My coffee”

“Compensation for my hoodie” Yoongi shrugged taking a swig, cringing at the taste “Too sweet” he mumbled before he was out of earshot

Jimin pouted as he sank into his chair crossing his arms childishly, eyeing his best friend who was grinning mischievously at him from across the table

“What?” he frowned

“Nothin” Taehyung shrugged, grin widening “You guys are just a cute couple is all”

What?

“Couple?” Jimin scoffed, rolling his eyes “Yoongi and I are not a couple”

Taehyung cocked his head “No?” he asked raising an eyebrow “Why do ya have his jacket then?”

“No” Jimin insisted “ you I was cold and he just leaves his lying around, you’re dumb”

Taehyung shrugged, not buying it but letting it slide for now “So anyways as I was saying, Cinderella shouldn’t have lost her slipper in the first place like that fairy tale”

Jimin laughed, forgetting the assumption Taehyung had made

2.

“I’m not talking to you anymore” Jimin explained, pout evident on his face “You stole my coffee that I paid for”

Yoongi scoffed, rolling his eyes at his roommate “You’re not actually mad at me about that”

Jimin nodded crossing his arms staring determinately at Yoongi

“Jimin” Yoongi sighed taking a few steps toward him “I’ll buy you a new one Jesus”

Jimin shook his head because that’s not the point here

“No? then what do you want?” Yoongi asked walking until he was just few inches away from Jimin, frown deepening when he didn’t get a reply “Park Jimin, you can’t just spend the rest of your life not talking to me because of coffee”

Jimin puffed his cheeks out, trying to convey that yes he ing can you Min Yoongi

Yoongi poked his side, calling his name again, only making Jimin flinch away as he did it again “Ticklish?” Yoongi asked, smirk slowly forming on his lips

Jimin shook his head frantically, eyes widening as he took a step back

The next thing Jimin knew he was on the ground, Yoongi straddling his hips laughing as he tickled him mercilessly

“Yoon- stop! No!” he giggled, trying to squirm away “Yoongi stop it – I – I hate being tickled”

“Everyone does” Yoongi chuckled, hands pausing on Jimin’s ribs “I’ll stop if you promise to keep talking to me like a good roommate”

“Fine ok” Jimin huffed, trying to catch his breath “You’re so petty”

“I’m petty?” Yoongi scoffed “I’m not the one threatening to give someone the silent treatment over coffee”

Jimin stuck his tongue out at him, knowing full well that if someone stole coffee from Yoongi they wouldn’t live long enough to receive the silent treatment.

The thought made him laugh and Jimin’s laugh was contagious, everyone knew, so Yoongi was laughing too. Neither bothering to move from the awkward position they were in because what was the point they were comfortable and there was a light mood, both lightly out of breath and cheeks flushed

And of course, Jungkook had to walk in at that exact moment.

“Hey Jimin do you have-” he paused staring at how Yoongi was still sitting in Jimin’s lap “I’ll come back, sorry for interrupting” he finished turning away with a light blush

“Don’t be stupid, You’re not interrupting anything Kook” Yoongi called, standing up and pulling Jimin up along with him

“Yeah” Jimin nodded, fixing his displaced cloths “What’s up Jungkookie?”

Jungkook cleared his throat, composing himself for a second before turning back to look at his friends “I was uh” he coughed “Wondering if you had the chem notes from Tuesday?”

“Ah yeah, just a sec” Jimin nodded, shuffling through a stack of papers on his desk before turning back with a few crumpled pages “Here you go” he grinned handing them over

Jungkook smiled, eyes scanning over Jimin’s hand writing for a moment “Thanks Jimin, you’re the best” he grinned, bumping his fist lightly against the elder’s shoulder “I’ll make sure to knock next time so I don’t have to witness… that again” he called as he walked out the dorm room

“Aish” Jimin huffed lightheartedly, placing his hands on his hips “That kid”

Yoongi shrugged as he opened his computer to finish a paper, ignoring the way Jimin fell into his bed at just the right angle to hit his head on the wall

3.

“So are you gonna buy something to eat or?” Jin asked placing his lunch down across the table from where Yoongi was highlighting his notes from his last class

Yoongi shook his head, capping the marker “Not hungry” he stated glancing up at Jin who already had his cheeks full from taking a bite of his sandwich

“Liar” Yoongi jumped at Jimin’s voice behind him

“wha- no I’m not” Yoongi frowned “I’m just not hungry”

“You skipped breakfast this morning and dinner last night” Jimin huffed shoving a plastic container with a paper taped to the top into his hands “Eat and stop lying. I gotta get to class bye Yoongi bye Jin” he smiled before walking away

Yoongi wasn’t quite scowling, closer to pouting when he pulled the note off the lid. He scoffed as he read it, holding it and putting it off to the side as he opened the lid of the container, rice and chicken not much but a meal nonetheless.

“Wait what was that note?” Jin asked reaching over snatching the paper from Yoongi “What’s it say?”

Yoongi shrugged “Kid’s callin’ me out”

Jin chuckled “Oh a call out post, fun” he smiled unfolding it and scanning it lightly “Awe ‘Yoongi you should take better care of yourself before you get sick or something goddamn it. I made you lunch from last night’s dinner which you didn’t in’ eat. Eat this or I’m locking you out of our room tonight, jerk’ that so cute” Jin cooed

Yoongi rolled his eyes “How the is that cute?” he scoffed

“Your boyfriend cares about you” Jimin chuckled

“Boyfriend?” Yoongi coughed, almost choking on the rice in his mouth “Jimin’s not my boyfriend, I don’t have a boyfriend”

Jin’s eyebrows furrowed “What do you mean?”

“What do you mean what do you mean?” Yoongi scoffed “What? Do you actually think we’re together?”

“I mean, yeah” Jin nodded “Everyone does… are… are you sure you’re not like” Jin paused “Madly in love with each other?”

Yoongi cursed his pale skin for different reasons, he got burned easier by the sun, he stood out more in crowds, but most of all when he blushed it was ing noticeable.

His ears burned and his face turned pink and all he could mumble was a simple “Shut up we’re not dating, don’t be stupid”

Jin hummed, lips quirking up in amusement opting not to point out that he didn’t deny being in love with him

4.

Yoongi was tired. Not his usual fatigue that he carries with him all the time that’s basically just a part of him. No, he was drop dead, this, exhausted after his 7 am back to back classes plus extra time spent at the library studying and he knew that he was giving off the aura that if anyone even dared look at him they’d dye because people were scrambling to get out of his way as he made his way through the dorms

It wasn’t late, only 4:30 in the afternoon, the sun was still high in the sky and most people weren’t even out of class yet

Jimin could read Yoongi like the back of his hand, knew what kind of mood he was in, knew how to deal with him. it’s a skill he picked up from having to room with the elder for two and a half years. So when Yoongi walked through the door looking ready to kill someone he knew it was just because he was tired.

So, like any sensible friend would do, he grabbed Yoongi’s wrist and led him over to the couch they had in the middle of the room

“What?” Yoongi sneered, not resisting Jimin’s attempts

“Lay down” Jimin ordered as he sat down, patting his thigh “I’ll massage your head for you”

Yoongi scowled, eyebrows furrowing “Why”

“Just trust me” Jimin chuckled, tugging Yoongi down “When have I ever steered you wrong”

“There was that one time” Yoongi sighed, positioning his head in Jimin’s lap “With the jar of kimchi and the fairy lights when-”

“Besides that” Jimin cut in, threading his fingers through Yoongi’s hair “Just relax Yoongi”

Yoongi hummed in content, letting his muscles relax as Jimin slowly massaged his scalp. Yoongi’s hair is a lot softer now that he’d dyed it back to black instead of those crazy colors. Jimin thought Yoongi looked good with unnatural hair, pink, green, blonde, gray, he looked great no matter what but black? Black fit him best and it was better for his scalp.

After a few minutes Yoongi nodded off, succumbing to the exhaustion that claimed his being. Jimin smiled fondly, carding his fingers through the black locks in silence. Yoongi looked soft, features going lax in his sleep, he looked small halfway drowning in his oversized hoodie and Jimin – Jimin was oddly happy that he was one of the only people to ever see him like this.

And he wonders why the hell they don’t lock their dorm room door because just as he was getting comfortable, just as he was sure Yoongi was dead asleep, Jung Hoseok in all his happy sunshiny glory barged into the room. And Jimin would have been jumped, startling Yoongi awake if it weren’t for the fact that he was used to all their friends just coming and going as they pleased. He stayed still for the most part, keeping his hand on Yoongi’s head.

“Yo!” Hoseok grinned

Jimin immediately brought his free hand up using a single finger to shush him franticly shifting his eyes from Hoseok to Yoongi back up to Hoseok. “Hobi shush,”

Hoseok’s lips formed a little ‘o’ shape as he nodded his head “I was gonna ask if you guys wanted to catch a movie with me tonight but uh” he continued in a softer voice “Maybe tomorrow instead”

“Yeah” Jimin agreed “Tomorrow sounds good”

“Coolio” Hoseok grinned, pausing for a second before adding “You know, you guys are such a good couple, yet I sometimes forget you guys are together because of your lack of PDA, but you’re both good for each other”

“What?” Jimin choked out cheeks heating up “It-it’s not, it’s not like that Hobi we’re just friends”

Hoseok snorted, rolling his eyes “Right, I’m so sure” he drawled sarcastically “Keep telling people that, they’ll believe you eventually”

“But we’re-”

“Bye Jiminie” Hoseok cut him off making his way out the door “I’m obviously intruding, tell Yoongi I said hi”

Jimin sighed, watching Yoongi’s hair fall between his fingers as the door clicked shut

5.

Yoongi’s leg bounced restlessly under the desk he sat at in the back of the lecture hall. He glanced at the clock, chewing on his pencil eraser as the seconds slowly ticked down to the end of class. To be honest, he’d not been paying attention the entire lecture, he’d get the notes from Namjoon later.

He was standing the moment the lecture ended, throwing his book in his bag haphazardly and throwing it over his shoulder

“Hey man” Namjoon caught his arm “You up for grabbing lunch with Jin and I?”

Yoongi paused, biting his lip for a moment “Can’t,” he sighed “Jimin’s sick. Gotta get back”

Truthfully, Yoongi had felt bad for leaving in the first place. Jimin rarely got sick, but when he did he was sick and Yoongi wasn’t going to leave him but the pout Jimin sent him – the whining that he was fine Yoongi go to class spurred him to go, despite his wishes.

“Awe” Namjoon cooed jokingly “Taking care of your boyfriend, you’re so sweet”

“Shut up” Yoongi scoffed stuffing his hands in his pocket “I gotta go”

He’s not sure why he didn’t object to the accusation of Jimin being his boyfriend, it didn’t matter because at that moment all that mattered was Jimin. That Jimin was resting, that he was drinking water, that he hadn’t hurt himself in his sick haze. Jimin was all that mattered to him at that moment because, if he wasn’t worried

Jimin was sitting on the ground when he got back, head resting against the foot of the mattress – Yoongi’s mattress – sniffling every few seconds.

“Jimin” Yoongi sighed “What’re you doing?”

Jimin chuckled for a second, turning into a cough before he answers a little breathlessly “Breathing”

“Breathing” Yoongi deadpanned “Doesn’t look like you’re doing a good job at that”

“Yeah” Jimin sniffled “Whatever”

Yoongi sighed, dropping his bed on his desk chair before moving to crouch by his younger roommate “Jimin” he prompted “C’mon get in bed”

Jimin cracked an eye open looking at Yoongi for a moment “Only if you hug me” he exhaled slowly, opening his arms

“Why?” Yoongi scoffed at the shrug he received “No, you’re sick and gross right now”

“That’s so mean” Jimin whined, letting Yoongi tug him up by the wrist “You’re mean Yoongi”

Yoongi rolled his eyes, pushing Jimin into the bed “I know, I know.” He chuckled “The meanest, right?” he continued, bringing the blanket up to Jimin’s shoulders

“Yeah” Jimin pouted at him “I need affection you know”

“You get enough from Taehyung”

Jimin made a noise of protest in the back of his throat “It’s not the same” he insisted “Watch a movie with me or something then”

“You’re so needy right now” Yoongi sighed grabbing his laptop from his desk “Shouldn’t you be resting?”

“I am resting” Jimin grinned, scooting up his bed into a sitting position “Just featuring a movie and you”

Yoongi rolled his eyes again mumbling about how he’s too soft on him as he kicked his shoes off and climbed onto the bed next to him, balancing his laptop on top their thighs

It took about a half hour and a lot of sniffling for Jimin to lose interest in the movie instead opting to focus on the rise and fall of Yoongi’s chest, on Yoongi’s steady heartbeat, from where he had placed his head. He wasn’t sure when but Yoongi’s arm had found its way around his shoulders and Jimin placed his head on his chest and neither could find it in themselves to care

“Yoongi” Jimin called hesitantly earning a hum in response “You know… uh”

“What?” Yoongi asked, turning his attention to the younger

“It’s just uh…” he paused, shifting away, coughing for a second “Everyone thinks we’re dating”

Yoongi nodded with a sigh “Yeah, I know, what about it?”

“I was just wondering…” Jimin shifted again to look at him “Why aren’t we?”

Yoongi froze because he really wasn’t expecting that question, not from Jimin at least. Jimin was usually a little more tactful with the way he’d ask things, usually wasn’t so blunt, usually tiptoeing around the subject. But, Yoongi assumed, because Jimin was sick he’s not quite himself.

“I uh” he cleared his throat “I don’t know”

Jimin stared at him blankly for a minute, nose running slightly but he didn’t make a move to fix it or say anything, just staring and Yoongi reached over to the bedside table plucking a few tissues from the box

“Don’t look at me like that Jimin” he sighed, going to wipe the younger’s nose himself “I really don’t know”

There was another pause as Jimin took the tissues from Yoongi blowing his nose

“I’m in love with you” he stated, not meeting eyes with Yoongi

Yoongi took a sharp, audible to them both “You’re sick” he choked out

“Doesn’t mean I’m not in love with you” he mumbled “I’m lucid enough to know Yoongi”

Yoongi wished he was better with words, wished he’d be able to respond in situations like this without having hours to think about it hours before hand. But he’s not so he’s just sitting there staring wide eyed at his roommate, barely breathing movie playing long forgotten in the background.

“Don’t be ing stupid” was the only thing he from his mouth, and that’s not what he was trying to say

Jimin frowned, eyebrows furrowing and goddamn it was cute “Excuse me?” he rasped out

“You could do better” Yoongi answered “Why me? That’s just stupid”

“It’s not stupid shut up” Jimin objected, hitting the bed with the side of his fist “It’s for me to decide and if you don’t feel the same that’s fine but-”

“Shut up” Yoongi interrupted, voice dangerously close to a growl “I didn’t say that idiot”

“Then what?” Jimin coughed exasperated “Cause you just called me stupid for loving you so what the ”

And Yoongi didn’t exactly know what to say, instead opting to grab the back of Jimin’s neck and pull him into a hug letting Jimin’s cheek squish against his shoulder “Shut up” he repeated softly “I’m not good at words Jimin, you should know that”

And Jimin laughed into his neck “That whole exchange was unreasonably aggressive” he giggled as his arms looped around Yoongi’s waist

“Yeah” Yoongi breathed out “Yeah it was… y’know I’d kiss you about now but I’ve got a test tomorrow”

“If I wasn’t sick right now would you?”

“Yes”

“Would it be worth it if you didn’t have a test?”

“It’d be so worth it”

Yoongi could feel Jimin smiling against his collar bone and he’s sure he was too

+1.

“What do you mean they’re not dating?” Jungkook almost yelled, slamming his fist on the table “Of course they’re dating”

“But they swear up and down that they’re not” Jin sighed “Yoongi even called me stupid”

“Yeah Jimin too” Taehyung pouted “he called me dumb and stole my coffee”

Hoseok laughed, shaking his head “They may not be dating, but they’re obviously in love”

Everyone nodded their heads in agreeance

“Actually” Namjoon put in “Last week Yoongi refused to go to lunch with me because Jimin was sick or something and didn’t deny it when I called them boyfriends so… I didn’t even know that they swore they aren’t?”

“Huh” Hoseok huffed “Looks like we’ll have to give them a little visit”

“By visit” Taehyung raised an eyebrow “You mean we’re just gonna barge in and hope to see them like ing or something, right?”

“Aw” Hoseok grinned “You know me so well Taehyungie”

Taehyung laughed nodding his head with a “Nice”

“I’d prefer not to see them ing” Jungkook cringed “But like anything else is chill”

“I don’t think any of us want to see that” Namjoon chuckled

“Well actually” Hoseok raised his finger up “I’d only want to see that because there’s no denying it if we caught them doing it”

“Friends with benefits” Jungkook deadpanned, like it was the most obvious answer

“Nah” Jin shook his head “Yoongi demiual, he wouldn’t go for that”

“What the is demiual” Taehyung asked cocking his head to the side curiously

“It’s like…” Namjoon rolled his wrist in a circle a few times “Not being to unless you’re in love”

Jin rolled his eyes “It’s when you need an emotional attraction before you can have a ual one”

“Exactly why it’d be impossible to deny” Hoseok grinned, standing from his seat

“Wait, wait” Jungkook said “Why do you even know that Jin”

“Hoseok and I have known him since mid-school” Jin shrugged following Hoseok’s lead of standing “Now c’mon”

“The things you learn” Taehyung muttered to himself

And really, they were joking when they said they wanted to walk in on them having . So when they barged into the room to see Yoongi’s shirt half way ed with Jimin’s lips attached to the side of his neck and his hands under the hem of Jimin’s shirt they were both shocked and horrified, reasonably so

“Holy ing ” Hoseok gasped and they jumped away from each other in an instant

Jungkook’s hands went over his face to hide his embarrassment “This is the second-time guys!” he whined, muffled slightly, and Namjoon burst out in loud boisterous laughter

“We can explain” Jimin rushed out as Yoongi cleared his throat, both avoiding eye contact

Jin’s lips quirked up into a knowing smile “No need, we get it”

Namjoon was still laughing using the door frame to support his weight, somehow urging Taehyung into joining because although they weren’t serious about it its exactly what they ended up with

“I can’t believe it, I mean I was joking but-” Hoseok chuckled “We should leave, our question was answered. Talk to you two later”

The last thing the couple heard before the door was closed was all their friends laughing and Jungkook’s “I’m scared for life guys”

“We should really start locking our door” Yoongi mumbled, more amused than anything

Jimin’s forehead knocked against his collar bone “Yeah, no ” he giggled
