.auld acquaintance

moon’s gaze traveled down to the warmth wrapped around his pale wrist, it wasn’t too hard to decipher the silent cry taehyung so desperately wanted him to hear. if it was going to calm him down, moonsik didn’t have a problem twisting reassuring words to fulfill such a request. after all, it would work out in his own favor in the end. words were just words. all he needed was cooperation from the dog keeper. it would solidify his own means of escape if taehyung aided him without his fingers trembling with anxiety every step of the way. “listen to me. taehyung,look at me. i’m not going to announce anything right now. that’d be the stupidest fucking thing i could do. i need you to calm down. what good am i going to get with exposing you right now? it’d end up with this place being a damn bloodbath.”

moonsik allowed for the other boy to hold onto his wrist for a few fleeting seconds more, at last pulling away with a nod of his head. the raven haired boy took a second to glance at jax once more, the large dog looking just as nervous as his owner. “hm? what is it, boy?” moon questioned almost to himself, watching as the dog grew increasingly more agitated. in that moment he was reminded of taehyung’s vast intelligence, just the way taehyung properly handled his dogs showed his potential. and that would be the key to getting them both out of this predicament.

“i-i’m sorry, don’t take me back there, i can’t go back, hyung, i will die there,” he starts spluttering out again, never able to keep silent for very long. his head dips forward, chin pressed to his chest and hair covering his eyes. taehyung’s already starting to tear up, but he knows just as much as moon does that they can’t do this right now, that they need to escape instead. he needs to get it together, but it’s hard. he’d rather work with anyone else, but fate clearly has other plans for taehyung.

moon’s demands for taehyung to look at him had him snapping his head up instantly to look at him through his bangs that are far too long, threatening to block his eyesight. he can’t seem to look away, eyes wide and still clearly terrified and shiny with unshed tears, but he understands. “okay, okay-- we can do this, just please, don’t force me to go back when this is over,” he begs, still anxious but he’s pulling himself together slowly.

with a slight sigh of relief once moon’s hand is gone, he slumps against a wall, finding it hard to hold himself upright after that scare. he feels exhausted just from that exchange alone, and he just wants to go home. jax is huddled close to his side, but taehyung can feel the dog’s irritation just as much as moon could see it, a hand resting on the top of jax’s back. taehyung’s brow furrows slightly as he looks up at moon again, seeming to think the same thing as him. the only they would get out was through jax. taehyung himself no longer practices magic, and he’s not sure where moon stands but he has yet to pull out a wand or anything, so jax is their best bet.

the dog keeper kneels down next to jax, leaning in to whisper into his dog’s pointed ear, fingers curling in his collar to hold him steady as his other and scratches along his back. he’s whispering little commands and when he stands back up, jax walks along with his nose to the ground, avoiding other people surrounding them as he looks for a way out. “he’s trained to listen for disruptions in the air, smell for any hidden exits and just anything out of the ordinary, really..” taehyung mumbles next to moon, avoiding moon’s eyes by keeping his gaze on the dog. “he’ll find a way out for us, we just have to give him time, and space.. i hope no one approaches us,” he whispers, giving a nervous look towards the other people in the room, gathered in their own little groups as well.

“hello, sweetheart. i almost thought i’d lost you for a minute there. wouldn’t want to lose a gem like you twice, hm?” moonsik announced ceremoniously once he’d caught up with the boy, pressing one steady, palm to the small of taehyung’s back almost as a warning. the black haired male leaned in to brush his lips against taehyung’s ear, it may have seemed like a gesture of loving comfort to an outsider, in reality a manipulating threat between the two males. “don’t think for a second that i’ve forgot who you are, kim taehyung.” he reveled in the fear emitting from the infamous boy to his side. whether it’s origin from the sticky situation they were in or from moon’s presence, it wasn’t up to him to decide. all he knew for sure was that he couldn’t be on his own in such a chaotic area, even he knew the painful limits of his abilities. besides, this little reunion was long overdue, if you had to ask for moon’s unbiased opinion. “before you tell me everything, we need to get out of here first. quit looking like you’ve seen a fuckingdemon and snap out of it.”

his mind was racing, truly. taehyung didn’t know how to handle the fact that he’s trapped here and the fact that moonsik is also in the same room as him. tae often regrets the moment he left without so much as a warning to moon, one of his closer friends ( in taehyung’s eyes, anyway ). he can’t even imagine what sort of feeling that gave moonsik, and he certainly hopes it wasn’t anger. oh how taehyung really did not want to be dragged back home to the lunar court. he can’t deal with being forced into necromancy again. the last time was too painful.

the younger gave a yelp at the very familiar voice, body tensing as a hand rests flat on his lower back. it has him shivering like moon’s hand is ice, the boy frozen in his spot as he stays perfectly still for moonsik. fear is an understatement. taehyung is absolutely terrified. “m-moonsik hyung, hey--” he stutters out uselessly, only to be silenced at the low murmur of his name, moonsik’s words sharp and intimidating. the fact that his lips are pressed to taehyung’s ear certainly doesn’t help.

fuck the party, taehyung isn’t sure he can survive this encounter. he never wanted to step back into that part of his life again, but here moonsik was, living proof that he betrayed his original court to join another. it was probably far too obvious now. he knows the consequences are harsh.

jax starts growling again, directed at moonsik but taehyung is quick to silence him with a hand gesture. he doesn’t want to make a scene, he just wants this to be over. “you don’t understand, you don’t know--” he rambles as the older talks, staring off blankly into the crowd of people scattered about trying to find an escape, moonsik keeping him paralyzed. taehyung bites his lip to silence himself as well, not wanting to get too far ahead of himself and he nods simply, complying to the older boy and reaching back to wrap his fingers around moonsik’s wrist. a silent plea. if they could get out, taehyung might have a chance to run.

.auld acquaintance

yet not really an acquaintance ( &&. moon )

taehyung was rather surprised to get an invitation to a rather high end christmas party. for the courts, meaning someone outside of the death court knew he was a wizard. it was strangely suspicious, but oh how his curiosity had been piqued.

he shows up with his doberman, jax, dressed up in tight, black pants and a nice button up tucked into the waistband, dress shoes and all. his collar is unbuttoned slightly, as he always felt too stuffy and preferred to wear looser clothing but he felt the need to dress up nicely, somewhat.

as he walks up the steps of the building, he keeps his head down, jax at his side without a leash ( none of his dogs would ever leave his side without instruction to do so ). taehyung quickly starts to realize the mistake he made in attending, the doors slamming closed when all of the party’s guests are corralled into the large dining room area, the spell disguising the room as luxurious lifting. he faintly hears his doberman growling over the panic filtering through the guests in waves.

he knew the floors felt weird under his feet despite being carpet.

everything happens so quickly and it startles him, the chaos that begins to take root within the room once others realized there was no escape by the same means they came in. taehyung must have been gasping, because jax stops growling to touch his nose to his tightly clenched fist. it relaxes him enough to loosen his muscles and look around, searching for a way out.

oh god, those gargoyles are staring.

taehyung quickly looks elsewhere and oh fuck is that-- he’s suddenly staring into the eyes of someone and nope. nope nope nope. if that is moonsik-- taehyung reacts quickly, breaking the eye contact to move away from that area. just that small glance is enough to make him really unnerved and disappointed in himself for attending such an obviously diverse event. of course lunar court members would be here. but why did it have to be anyone he knew.

why did it have to be moonsik.

a groan breaks through the silence of the apartment, a few dogs lifting their heads and others perking their ears as the source of the noise shifts around slightly.

taehyung is a mess. he will never go back on his word about not selling his dogs, but it consistently causes him problems. the latest incident is most certainly his worst yet, leaving him rather terrified for himself and his pack but it’s already been three days, he needs to stop laying around doing nothing. with a pained whimper, he sits up in bed, frowning softly down at his borzoi monggu that has her head rested in his lap, offering worried looks up at the dog trainer. “i’m fine, girl, it’s okay,” he whispers and gives her head an affectionate pat before slipping out of bed, gasping sharply at the pain it brings. he’s hardly been out of bed unless it was to feed his pack or himself and go to the bathroom, his body still sore and aching.

his lip is split, blood dried over and there’s a dark bruise high on his cheek, and a long, thin cut across the other. a quick look in the mirror tells him that they’re not fading as fast as he’d like, unfortunately. he's won't look at the rest of his body, knowing it's littered with bruises. tears start to rise and he fights to push them down, tearing his gaze away from the mirror and padding out into the main room of his apartment. a few of his dogs offer sympathetic licks at his fingertips as he walks by, his mood clearly affecting them. he wishes he could hurry and bounce back from this, but the psychological and physical torture was rough. it was going to take a while. taehyung gives them all a gentle pat on the head with his good hand ( the other one sprained at the wrist when he fell on it, unable to stand upright after the beating he took ) before leaving with monggu.

there was work to be done, deliveries to make, and taehyung has had more than enough rest.

the only thing is, it’s in yeongdeungpo. there are many reasons as to why that’s a bad thing, and they all have to deal with a girl by the name of cho jueun. she just so happens to be a very close friend of his, and the daughter of the man that tortured taehyung just over three days ago. taehyung has been deliberately avoiding her since that incident, refusing to answer her texts ( this muggle invention was still confusing to him anyways, but he adapted ). he couldn’t let her see him like this, but the risk of being found out was becoming very high due to having to be in her district. monggu was a calming presence, however, pressed up against his waist to help guide him as they made their way to their destination.

in a fit of guilt, he pulled out the muggle invention called the cellphone and slowly tapped out a response to her many worried messages because it is very unlike taehyung to not reply.

birthday boy ! 🎉 ( && .solo thread )

oh, how taehyung adores birthday parties. he celebrates them for his dogs as well, if he knows their birthdates, and can’t help but buy some of those decorative and cute snacks for them. but today, it’s his birthday, and he plans to spend it with his family.

as per usual, he’s woken up by his only puppy in the pack, whining softly and licking at his face. taehyung laughs softly and hides his face in his pillow to get away from her, but princess merely starts licking at his ears instead. they’re sensitive and he’s quick to flip onto his back and swoop his little pup into his arms instead. “shh, calm down, princess!” he giggles, the little german shepherd squirming in his arms until she escapes and nuzzles herself under taehyung’s chin. “thank you for the birthday kisses, little one,” he murmurs happily, stroking her soft fur.

the bed shifts as the other dogs currently on the bed start to wake, and taehyung smiles at all of them before he gets up to begin his day. he’s more cheery than normal, spending more time on his daily routine of petting each and every one of his dogs hiding around the apartment and in turn they are just as happy, following him around as he carries his puppy so she doesn’t get trampled underfoot. all of his dogs are so big, it’s hard to keep watch over her. after he finishes feeding them he plops down on the couch with a sigh of relief, princess in his lap while the other dogs gather around, piling onto the couch or settling by his feet as they all settle in for a nap.

what a great way to start his birthday, surrounded by those he loves most.
