jikook + suicide squad au?
âMama.â Itâsbarely a whisper because Jimin doesnât trust his voice not to crackjust like he has no faith in himself at this moment. âMama,â hetries again.
Candles around himburn brighter, filling the cathedral with a scent of redemption. Itâsnot sweet. It stings his eyes or maybe those are tears. Thereâsnobody here except him and the ghosts haunting the place. Oddlypeaceful, almost sinister, the church is in the late evening hours.
Jimin clasps hishands together, inhales memories of happier times and his motherbeing alive and taking him here and exhales âMama, Iâm in love witha criminal.â
All Jungkook reallyknows is the feeling on holding the AK-47 in his hands, the weightfamiliar and aim precise, metal pressing against his palms, areminder that nobody would be able to take him down easily. He also knowshow the M9 feels like, all sleek lines and shiny metal that matchessilver rings adorning his fingers that are there to increase thedamage of his punches and not because he has a soft spot for prettyjewellery.
But nothing â nota single weapon, no matter how powerful it is â will ever compareto the feeling of Jiminâs skin under Jungkookâs fingertips. Smoothlike porcelain, soft like silk and warm like life itself. Jimin mustbe his personal angel. Fallen from grace just to save him, to lightup Jungkookâs dull days.
Itâs funny, really,how they came to be, how everything just happened at once. But thething is, Jungkook isnât the fucked up one. Heâs nothing but a bum, afew ranks higher than a petty criminal. Sure he has money andmansions on both coasts of the Atlantic, a pretty villa hidden in theFrench Riviera. He owns the streets, cities even, but all of thatmeans nothing compared to Jimin.
If Jimin were to askhim to burn a city down, heâd do it in a blink of an eye. If Jiminasked him to set the whole world on fire, Jungkook would do it too.
Except, all Jiminever asks of him is to be safe and to come back home.
A bloody mess is allhe sees. Bodies all around him, cut off limbs on a pile and headsrolling around like gravitation canât hold them in place. His shoesare no longer white but scarlet red. The shade is pretty, about thathe canât lie.
Jungkook looks upfrom the mess in front of him. Jimin is standing a few feet away.Equally bloody, yet equally dazzling as the first time Jungkook hadseen him. His fingers curl and uncurl around the handle of a metalbaseball bat. He dropped his knives a few minutes ago. Thereâs bloodin his pretty blond hair. On his soft cheeks too.
âBaby,â Jungkooksays and Jimin lifts his head to look at him. From where heâsstanding, Jungkook canât see the tears welling up in Jiminâs eyes,but from his posture, he can tell what Jimin is thinking. And itâsalways the exact same thing â that he is a monster.
âBaby,â herepeats as if coaxing a scared animal out of its shelter. He takes atentative step closer and Jimin takes one back, stepping on a hand,bones cracking under his shoe. He winces at the sound, biting his lipand Jungkook comes even closer.
âIâm sorry. Ididnât mean to, I swear. Jungkook, Iâm so sorry,â heâs rambling,words spilling from his mouth without thinking. âI heard them,okay? I heard them saying how theyâre gonna overturn you and howyouâve lost your mind and howâI couldnât let them.â
Jimin shakes hishead, hot tears spilling down his cheeks and before he can wipe themoff with the sleeve of his bloody sweater, there are hands cuppinghis face and lips kissing his forehead. He exhales a breath ofrelief.
âItâs okayâ isall Jungkook says before enveloping Jimin in a hug, shielding himfrom the battlefield thatâs all around them.
The bat falls fromJiminâs hand, metal hitting the concrete floor with a dull thud.Jimin fists his hands in Jungkookâs jacket, fingers digging intofabric, desperately trying to pull Jungkook even closer. He burieshis head in crook of Jungkookâs shoulder and says âYou are all Ihave left. I canât lose you.â
Jungkook stayssilent, just holds Jimin tighter.
Theyâll clean thismess later. Jungkook will wash the blood out of Jiminâs hair, curlbeside him on their bed, kiss him goodnight because this, too, shallpass.
âMama,â Jiminsays and his voice is stronger than it was months ago, it echoesinside the empty church. Jungkook squeezes his hand for support andJimin smiles at him.
âMama, I want youto meet somebody.â
