Taehyung rocked back and forth on his feet.
He rang the doorbell for the third time now.
Was this the best idea?
He should have stayed with Jungkook.
Here, he didn't feel so confident anymore.
But then he heard footsteps in front of the door and knew it was too late to turn back now.
The door opened.
Seeing Lucas' face brought his anger back and in less than two seconds Taehyung felt his fist swing into Lucas' face.
"Yo, chill the fuck out man!"
"Why did you do it, huh?! No one hurts Jungkook!!"
"Taehyung, I know we've had our differences-"
"Fuck your differences!"
"Let's talk this out, Taehyung!"
"There is nothing to talk out, Lucas", Taehyung mocked him, "you tried to rape my boy."
"It's a misunderstanding!"
"What did Jungkook misunderstand then?! Tell me!"
Lucas stayed silent.
"You know exactly what you did", Taehyung said, pronouncing every single word.
He pushed Lucas to the floor, sat onto him and punched him. Again and again.
Then he stopped as Lucas mumbled something.
"You'll pay for this, Taehyung."
"Oh yeah? How?"
"You have no idea who I am", he breathed.
Silence.
Lucas had passed out.
Seeing what he did, Taehyung got up and left, with the same quick steps that he came with.
He didn't feel bad, obviously, why would he? But he did not know he was capable of doing such a thing.
He was a little bit shocked indeed, realizing that he even had that physical strength.
Also: Lucas' words kept on repeating in his mind.
They were like an echo, that seemed to get quieter over time but didn't leave yet.
The second Taehyung opened the door to the apartment, Jungkook ran into his arms and hid his face in Taehyungs chest.
He was crying.
Taehyung pulled him closer, wrapping his arms around his body.
"It's okay, it's okay", he tried to calm him.
"I missed you, don't do that again", the younger mumbled into his shirt.
"I was gone for less than an hour", Taehyung said.
"I needed you. And you left."
"I'm sorry. Jungkook, I'm sorry, okay?"
Jungkook nodded slightly.
Tae slid down on the floor and pulled him between his legs.
Now comfortably, Jungkook shoved his face into Taehyungs crook and held his shirt with his hands, twisting the fabric between his fingers.
Taehyung placed a kiss on his neck and stroked his back softly and said nothing.
Even though he did never like seeing Jungkook hurt, he enjoyed those moments between them.
When he could smell his natural scent and the shampoo or deodorant that he used because they were so close.
The way he leaned into him, entrusted his whole body weight to Taehyung, feeling safe with him completely.
Slowly, Taehyung slipped out of his jacket and shoes without letting go of him.
Taehyung mouthed a 'thank you' to Jimin who stood in the hallway but he just nodded understanding.
"Did you brush your teeth already?", Taehyung whispered after a little while.
Jungkook shook his head.
"Let's do that then. I'll help you."
Jungkook shook his head.
Taehyung sighed.
"If I carry you?"
Silence.
"Okay."
Taehyung picked him up, Jungkook wrapped his legs around his back.
Ten seconds later, Tae sat him onto the closed toilet seat and looked for his toothbrush.
"The pink one."
"Oh, thanks."
With sleepy eyes, Jungkook opened his mouth and Taehyung brushed his teeth.
After they were both done, Taehyung left to get Jungkooks and his pyjama.
When he was back, Jungkook immediately streched out his hands to him.
"Wait, no", Taehyung chuckled.
"Get them up first."
He pulled the top over his head and arms and exchanged it for his sleep shirt.
"Ass up", he ordered and pulled Jungkook's tight jeans off.
"Isn't it complete horror to wear jeans as tight as these?", he asked.
Jungkook shrugged his shoulders.
"I think they looks good on me."
"They do", Taehyung said approving and ignored his south area getting tighter.
He held the pyjama pants up a bit so Jungkook could slip into them.
Taehyung changed his clothes as well, well-knowingly turning away from Jungkook for a second.
He didn't want him to feel any pressure, so he thought it would be better if he didn't notice.
It would disappear over the night.
Hopefully.
He carried Jungkook to his room, since they were almost only sleeping in Taehyungs bed, because it was a bit bigger.
"Do you want me to read you something or-?"
Jungkook was fast asleep.
"Goodnight, koo", he placed a kiss on his head, turned off the lights and fell asleep pretty quickly as well.

I really have no idea whether or not Taehyungs bed is bigger, if anyone remembers that and it's not, pls tell me :')
Merry christmas peeps 💫💓
