Jungkook was lounging on his bed when his phone went off. He rolled off the bed landing on his back. He groaned in pain. He sat up and rubbed his back. Then he remembered why he had rolled off the bed in the first place. He got up and grabbed his phone to see who had text him.

the texts

Jungkook couldn't help but smile at the fact that Taehyung and him were gonna hang out. They had just seen each other the previous day, but Jungkook enjoyed spending time with Taehyung. They were the best of friends. And he was so happy Taehyung was there for him. It's been years, and he couldn't remember the last time he had felt this happy.

He goes to his closet to pick out clothes for the library. He grabs a white t-shirt that's semi-fitted and a pair of black jeans.

As soon as Jungkook is dressed, a horn blares from in front of his appartment. Jungkook grins. He pulls on a black sweatshirt before bolting out the door. He almost forgets to lock the door before going to Taehyung's car.

When Jungkook gets in the car, he immediately notices Taehyung's outfit. The simple loose light grey shirt, and loose jeans. The white baseball hat that was backwards on his head only added to the look.

Of course this was just two friends going to the library to study. Even if one of them wanted it to be more, that's all it was. Nothing more.

Once at the library, Taehung and Jungkook split up to get the books they needed and met back up at their usual table to study together. Taehyung being sure their seats are next to each other and not across the table.

Jungkook sat studying astronomy, while Taehyung was studying Japanese history... Well Taehyung /was/ supposed to be studying Japanese history anyway, but he kept glancing over at Jungkook. Thats when he got an idea.

"Hey, Kookie. Why don't we ask each other questions? It might help us to study better." Taehyung sent Jungkook a heartwarming closed eye smile. Jungkook grinned and agreed.

They swapped books. "So do you want to start or should I?" Jungkook asked while tilting his head. 

Taehyung could feel his heart speed up at Jungkook's cute gesture. "Hmmm. Why dont we start with my subject. I can use all the help I can get with Japanese history."

Jungkook nodded and looked through the pages looking for an interesting question. Taehyung couldn't help but look at Jungkook's well defined features and admire him. A smile grew with each little thing Jungkook did. He just couldn't help his feelings for the younger boy.

"Okay I think this one will probably be on there." Jungkook picked up the book and held it so Taehyung couldn't see the page. Taehyung shook his head to try to focus on the question.

"What was the name of the Samurai lords that took over governmental power in 1185, and ruled Japan in the name of the emperor until 1868?" Taehyung was slightly confused but aslo recalled the topic being mentioned in class.

"Ummmm..." Taehyung racked his brain for the answer. "Um........ Sho..guns?" The cautiousness of Taehyungs answer caused Jungkook to raise an eyebrow at the older.

"Is that your answer?" Taehyung pouted a bit at Jungkook's teasing question.

"Koooookkkiieee..." Taehyung's whiny response brought a smile to Jungkook's face which caused Taehyung to smile as well. 

"Alright. Alright. Yeah the answer is Shoguns." Jungkook said, his grin never leaving his face.

•later that night•

Taehyung had just parked his car at Jungkooks place when a loud yawn escaped his lips. Jungkook noticed how tired he really was even though it was well hidden. They had stayed studying at the library for hours, and it was already 2 am.

Jungkook looked at the door then at Taehyung. 
"Hey, Tae. Why don't you stay the night? It's really late anyway." Taehyung was about to refuse when he yawned again. Jungkook frowned. "I won't take no for an answer, Tae. Now come on."

Taehyung didn't argue as he and Jungkook both got out of the car. Taehyung was just behind Jungkook when he tripped. Jungkook spun around so fast when he heard Taehyung's yelp that he just managed to catch the older one before his face could come in contact with the concrete steps.

Taehyund gulped as Jungkook helped him stand upright. Taehyung's breathing was fast and his eyes were wide. He was definitely wide awake for the moment. Jungkook's wide and scared eyes scanned Taehyung's face.

"Tae! Oh my goodness! Are you okay?"

Jugkook started grabbing at Taehyung's arms to check them for any scrapes.

"Kookie," Taehyung avoided Jungkook's frantic attempts to grab his arms and placed his hands on Jungkook's shoulders. "I'm fine. Okay, Kook? You caught me. I am not hurt. Let's just head inside."

Taehyung turned Jungkook around and placed a hand on the small of his back and pushed him just enough to let him know to move up the stairs. Jungkook hesitated looking at Taehyung, but decided he would try to check on him again inside.

They made their way up the steps and soon inside Jungkook's apartment. 

Once inside both Jungkook and Taehyung ditched their shoes and went into the living room. Taehyung flopped onto the couch immediatly, but Jungkook had other plans.

"Get up, Tae." Taehyung didn't bother to move at Jungkook's demanding tone. Jungkook's eyes narrowed at Taehyung's unmoving body. "Taehyung get your up right now."

Taehyung's eyes shot open. Jungkook's voice had dropped to a very quiet, deep tone that held absolutely no room for arguments. Taehyung warily sat up watching Jungkook.

Jungkook didn't look upset but his eyes.... Taehyung knew Junkook was not in a joking mood just from his eyes.

This was a side Jungkook didn't show very often. Taehyung couldn't help but find it insanely attractive.

Jungkook walked over to the couch and grabbed Taehyung's wrist. Instead of Jungkook grabbing his wrist roughly like Taehyung was expecting, Jungkook gently grabbed Taehyung's wrist and began examining him for any sign of a scratch or scrape.

Taehyung couldn't keeps his eyes off of Jungkook the entire time. Having suppressed his feelings for nearly 3 years, Taehyung was struggling to not kiss Jungkook. After all, it was rare to see such a worried yet strict Jungkook.

All too soon though Jungkook was finished checking Taehyung's arms.

Before Taehyung could even react, Jungkook had pulled him in for a tight hug. Jungkook's hold stays for a full minute before Taehyung can remember to wrap his own arms around Jungkook.

For minutes they just sat there with their arms wrapped around each other. Taehyung kissed the top of Jungkook's head, like he had dozens of times before, and ran his hand through Jungkook hair to calm him a bit.

"Care to go to bed now, Kookie?" Jungkook pulled away from Taehyung and nodded.

"Yeah. Let's go." Jungkook stood up his hand sliding into Taehyung's hand and pulling him to the bedroom. Taehyung's heart raced. But, it wasn't like they had never shared a bed before.

That night the boys lay in bed asleep. Taehyung's arms were wrapped around a pillow like usual. But Jungkook.... Well, he was tossing and turning in his sleep. His mind racing and remembering the past.
