A/N:Â It's not explicitly stated, but Jimin has body dysmorphic disorder. This means he struggles with body image insecurities to the point that it's obsessive and prevents him from having healthy social relationships (as well as a healthy relationship with himself). Please be gentle with yourself as you read this story because Jimin is tough on himself, and it could be uncomfortable to read if you also relate to his body image struggles. As a reminder, everyone's experiences with mental illness are different.
Soundtrack:Â Harry Styles - Adore You
Jiminâs clothes donât fit.Â
His lavender silk button-up keeps slipping off his shoulder, exposing his collarbones to the cool night air. It makes him tremble slightly, and Taehyung must notice because he pulls Jimin tighter against his chest.Â
âHowâs it going, love?â Taehyung hooks his chin over Jiminâs shoulder and turns his head to the side when he whispers the question. His voice is raspy from talking all night, and the deepness of it warms the pit of Jiminâs stomach, even in his sour mood.Â
Jimin shrugs, and Taehyung lets out an amused huff at his boyfriendâs indecisiveness. His breath tickles Jiminâs neck.Â
âBored?âÂ
Taehyung smells like vodka and ginger beer from the Moscow mule heâs been nursing all night. He holds the copper mug in the hand that isnât splayed against the lower half of Jiminâs tummy. As much as Jimin loves being in Taehyungâs embrace, the pressure of his hand is making Jiminâs skin crawl. He hates it when Taehyung touches his stomach.Â
âIâm not bored,â Jimin says flatly. Heâs not bored, but heâs not entertained, either.Â
Going to Euphoria used to be the highlight of Jiminâs weekend. Itâs Seoulâs most elite rooftop bar. Slipping past the bouncers guarding the glass elevator that takes patrons to the roof is possible thanks to being friends with Seokjin. Taehyung had met him through his best friend, Jungkook. It has been a little over two years since Seokjin came around, but he fit into their friend group almost immediately, even though Jimin and his friends are nowhere near as impressive as an actor. Seokjin is attractive, gregarious, and rich, but itâs his goofy personality that molds well with Taehyung and Jungkook's often childlike sense of wonder.Â
Taehyung brushes his lips against Jiminâs neck as he murmurs, âTired? Wanna go home?âÂ
The sensation makes the hairs on the nape of Jiminâs neck stand up, and the fire that seems to always burn in the pit of his stomach when Taehyungâs around flickers once again. Itâs frustrating how easily Taehyung can make Jiminâs heart race, even when he isnât in the mood for kisses and that velvety voice whispering in his ear.Â
Jimin does want to go home, but he knows Taehyung and their friends are having fun. The whole reason why theyâre out is to celebrate Taehyung graduating from his Ph.D. program and securing a position as a therapist. It would be rude of him to force Taehyung to leave his own party. Heâs being a shitty boyfriend, bringing the mood down. Taehyung shouldnât have to check in on Jimin while heâs celebrating such an important achievement.Â
âHyung, stop being so gross!â A voice cries out from Jiminâs left, and he turns to see Jungkook walking away from his conversation with Seokjin and a few people Jimin doesnât know.Â
Taehyung mumbles something into Jiminâs neck before straightening his posture. He finally lets go of Jimin, leaving his place behind Jimin to instead stand next to him. Ordinarily, the loss of contact would leave Jimin feeling cold, but tonight, heâs relieved.Â
It makes Jimin feel awful.Â
âExcuse me, I didnât realize giving my boyfriend attention was gross,â Taehyung counters with a roll of his eyes.Â
âThe two of you are the worst about PDA!â Jungkook presses on with exaggerated exasperation. âYouâre disgusting.âÂ
âYouâre disgusting,â Taehyung parrots back. He reaches out with lightning speed to pinch Jungkookâs nipple through his shirt, twisting it with his index finger and thumb hard enough to make Jungkook squeal.Â
âAw, hyung, what the fuck!â Jungkook swats at Taehyungâs arm. He covers both nipples with his hands and turns to give Jimin a pout. Itâs ridiculous.Â
âYouâre both being ridiculous,â Jimin mutters. He brings his drink to his lips, a gin and Coke that Taehyung nearly spit out when he took a sip earlier.
Jiminâs response isnât what Jungkook was looking for, so he resumes harassing Taehyung about being âtoo whipped for his own goodâ.Â
Normally, the playful altercation would make Jimin smile. Itâs true; Taehyung is undeniably head-over-heels for Jimin, and they all know it â even before they started dating, back when Jimin and Jungkook were roommates, and Taehyung was simply âJungkookâs best friendâ. Taehyung had crushed on Jimin so hard it wasnât a shock to anyone when he grew the courage to ask Jimin out.Â
Taehyungâs love for Jimin is painfully obvious. Itâs in the way Taehyung watches Jimin with such soft, kind eyes like Jimin is the most precious thing heâs ever seen. Itâs in the way he holds Jimin in his large hands like heâs afraid Jimin might break. Itâs in the way he melts under Jiminâs touch, even after five years of dating. Their honeymoon phase never ended. Despite how annoying, frustrating, and utterly terrible Jimin is, somehow, Taehyung still loves him.Â
To avoid staring at Taehyung any longer, Jimin turns his attention to Jungkook. He looks good tonight, though he always does.Â
Jungkook is big. What he lacks in stature, he makes up for in muscle. His biceps are getting thicker, and the buttons on his shirt strain when he moves his torso a certain way. Heâs been working out more.Â
Taehyung has gotten bigger, too. He has started going with Jungkook to the gym, mainly on the weekends, because Taehyung often offers late appointments for clients who canât speak with him until after theyâre off work.Â
Over time, Taehyung has filled out, muscles developing in his broad shoulders that hadnât been prominent before. When he wraps his arm around Jiminâs waist, Jimin notices the raised veins that run along his forearm, exposed from his sleeves being rolled up.Â
Itâs hot, but Jimin canât enjoy his boyfriendâs developing physique.Â
He looks down at his body as Jungkook and Taehyung bicker, their voices mixing in with the music playing from overhead speakers.Â
Jimin is small.Â
He can see his hip bones protruding from his skin-tight black jeans. He shouldâve worn looser pants, but Taehyung likes Jimin in these jeans. Heâs not sure why. All they do is accentuate how frail he is.Â
Itâs disgusting.Â
Jimin shifts uncomfortably in Taehyungâs embrace. He can feel Taehyungâs fingers against his ribcage. When Jimin adjusts, Taehyungâs hand slides down to hold Jiminâs hip.Â
Jiminâs waist is tiny enough that Taehyung can wrap his hands around him. When he inhales, he can see his ribs poking through his skin, and he knows from countless hours of staring at himself in the mirror that the knobby vertebrae of his spine are visible, too.Â
Jimin prayed for his âadult bodyâ to show up for years. He figured as he got older, heâd fill in a bit. He tried working out, but heâs not confident enough to lift weights at the gym with all the gym bros watching him, waiting for him to embarrass himself. And when he does cardio, he just loses more weight. Â
All he wants is to be less⊠plain, bony, and unattractive. Not a stick, easily knocked over and bent in half. He wants to be soft and pretty. He wants hips and thighs for Taehyung to squeeze and hold onto. He wants to fill in his jeans and for his shirts to fit against a chest that isnât so flat. No one wants to touch and kiss and fuck a skeleton.Â
And he really wishes he could grow taller, though that obviously isnât in the cards for him.Â
He looks up at Taehyung and watches his side profile while he talks. His eyes are bright from being a bit tipsy, and he talks animatedly, swinging the hand holding his drink. Luckily, itâs nearly empty, or heâd have spilled it all over himself by now.Â
Taehyung is gorgeous. Heâs tall, all legs, with beautiful tan skin and beauty marks that make Jimin want to kiss him all over. Even when he was a little on the skinnier side, it made sense on him. He looks like a supermodel.Â
Jimin canât understand why Taehyung, someone so perfect, would want to date him. Especially when Taehyung could have anyone he wants.Â
One of those anyones chooses now to saunter over to where the trio are talking. Leaning against the rooftop balconyâs glass railing, Jimin watches the man with growing irritation.
âTae! Congratulations, my friend. Iâm so happy for you.âÂ
And thereâs that blinding smile so large it pushes deep dimples into the manâs cheeks. Heâs just as tall as Taehyung and absolutely gorgeous, with tan skin and muscles that rival Jungkookâs. Jimin forces himself to take another sip of his drink to avoid scowling as Taehyungâs arm slips from his waist to wrap around the newcomerâs body instead.Â
âNamjoonie hyung, thank you!âÂ
âIâve got a gift for you, but it wasnât ready yet. Iâm sorry.âÂ
Taehyung waves Namjoonâs concerns away. âAh, hyung, you didnât need to get me anything at all.âÂ
âDonât be silly, Tae,â Namjoon insists. âIâll find a time for you to come over to my place so I can give it to you.â Namjoon brushes his shoulder against Taehyungâs. Although the force is light, it makes Taehyung take a step backward, and he bumps into Jimin.Â
âSorry, love,â Taehyung apologizes with a smile that makes Jiminâs head spin.Â
Taehyung doesnât look at Namjoon the way he looks at Jimin, but maybe one day he could. And why not? Namjoon fits Taehyung better. They look perfect together as Namjoon lifts his phone up to take a selfie, his cheek pressed against Taehyungâs. He and Taehyung met in college, years before Jimin moved in with Jungkook. Taehyung never said anything happened between the two of them; he always referred to Namjoon as a close friend. But he never said nothing happened, either. Just thinking about it makes Jiminâs stomach churn.Â
Fueled by jealousy that he doesnât feel like addressing, Jiminâs fingers pull at the sleeve of Taehyungâs leather jacket.Â
âWhatâs up, baby?âÂ
âCan we go home?âÂ
Taehyung nods immediately without asking why, and warmth blooms in Jiminâs chest even as he feels like heâs going to be sick.Â
âïž
âIâm sorry you didnât have fun,â Taehyung mumbles the apology while he looks down at the space between where he and Jimin sit in the backseat of the taxi. He plays with Jiminâs fingers, paying particular attention to Jiminâs pinky, which is equally endearing and annoying.Â
Their hands look pretty intertwined, Taehyungâs long and tan, the fingers of an artist and musician, while Jiminâs are short and stubby. Itâs funny how even Taehyungâs fingers are perfect, whereas Jiminâs are just as ugly as the rest of him. Life works in mysterious ways, Jimin supposes.Â
âI did have fun,â Jimin lies.Â
He watches the city fly past them in streaks of white light and doesnât look at Taehyung. If he does, Taehyung will know the truth. He probably already knows. Itâs soulmate behavior, Seokjin would say. Jimin and Taehyung are tethered in a way no one understands. Jimin swears theyâre so deeply connected that his soul aches when Taehyung is unhappy.Â
Taehyung swears he feels the same way, which makes Jimin feel even worse.
Time passes strangely in the middle of the night. A twenty-minute car ride to their apartment feels like an eternity, yet hardly anything has changed once Jimin and Taehyung scoot out of the backseat. The air is chillier now, though Jiminâs sensitive response to the temperature may be due to the taxi driver blasting the heat on the drive over. He also doesnât have any body fat on him to keep him warm, a thought that further sours his mood as he follows Taehyung into the lobby, where they wait for the elevator.Â
Once inside, Taehyung hooks his finger through Jiminâs belt loop and pulls him forward until their fronts are pressed together.Â
âYou donât have to lie to me, baby,â Taehyung murmurs into Jiminâs fluffy blonde hair with a squeeze of his hips. âI know you werenât thrilled about going out, so I appreciate that you still went with me.âÂ
Despite his mood, Jimin melts into Taehyungâs embrace. Taehyung hugs like heâs trying to absorb the tension Jimin holds inside his body. Jimin breathes in his cologne, oak and spice, and the bite of vodka as he buries his face in Taehyungâs chest. None of the antidepressant medications lining the nightstand on Jiminâs side of the bed can give him the sense of relief a hug from Taehyung gives him, even if Taehyungâs hugs remind Jimin of how different their bodies are. Even if Jimin knows he canât find a cure for his problems in another person. Taehyung feels good; some things are as simple as that.Â
The sob that shudders through Jiminâs chest is abrupt and unexpected. He knows it catches Taehyung off guard because Jimin feels him suck in a deep breath, and his arms reflexively tighten around him.Â
Honestly, it catches Jimin off guard, too. He cries so infrequently that Taehyung has commented on it. Something about occasional tears being psychologically good for him.Â
Jimin doesnât understand how crying can ever be a good thing. Embarrassment and shame ripple through him with each sob. There is a level of helplessness that comes with crying episodes. Losing control of oneâs emotions is disheartening and sometimes even scary. Itâs upsetting to know that Jimin will never be okay, no matter how hard he tries.Â
âOh baby,â Taehyung murmurs as he cups the back of Jiminâs head to hold him against his chest. âWill you tell me whatâs wrong? Please?âÂ
âI f-f-feelâŠâ Jiminâs whimpers prevent him from speaking clearly, though Taehyung has always been the more patient of the two. âIâm so ugly , Tae. I hate myself.âÂ
These arenât words Taehyung hasnât heard before, but heâs sincere when he asks, âWhat makes you say that?â Because the answer is always different, even when itâs the same.Â
Jimin shrugs in Taehyungâs embrace. The ding of the elevator reaching their floor punctuates his silence.Â
Bending slightly, Taehyung grabs the backs of Jiminâs thighs just below his butt and lifts him. Taehyungâs ability to easily carry Jimin has always been hot, though Jimin hasnât dared to admit that out loud. Not that Taehyung has ever made him feel bad about his interests; itâs just that there are many things Jimin is too afraid to say to anyone.Â
Jimin quickly wraps his legs around Taehyungâs waist and hugs his broad shoulders as Taehyung carries him out of the elevator. Itâs late enough that the hallway is empty, though Taehyung wouldnât care if someone saw them like this. Jimin keeps his face buried in the crook of Taehyungâs neck so he wouldnât know either way. Itâs safe here, breathing Taehyung in with his eyes squeezed shut.Â
Taehyung adjusts his hold on Jimin to input their apartment passcode and kicks the door open. He doesnât speak as he carries Jimin to their bedroom, though Jimin tunes into his steady breathing and attempts to mimic it to calm himself down.Â
Once in the bedroom, Taehyung gently sits Jimin down on their bed. His thumbs swipe across Jiminâs closed eyes, brushing tears from his eyelashes. Itâs gentle, far gentler than Jimin has ever deserved.Â
âJagiya,â Taehyung calls out to him softly.Â
Jimin slowly opens his eyes and does his best to meet Taehyungâs. His expression is gentle; eyes crinkled at the corners as he looks at Jimin with so much love and adoration that Jimin feels heâll combust from the warmth.Â
âWhich Taehyung would you like me to be tonight?âÂ
Jimin smiles despite his bleary eyes and tear-stained cheeks. It may be an odd question to an outsider, but for Jimin, itâs everything he loves about Taehyung.Â
Itâs a habit theyâve fallen into after five years of dating, developed after Jimin snapped at Taehyung for âpsychoanalyzingâ him one too many times, as a way for Taehyung to understand what Jimin needs from him in a moment of distress. Occasionally, Taehyung goes into Therapist Mode, as Jimin calls it. Therapist Taehyung can be helpful when Jimin is desperate for relief from the horrors of his mind. Still, sometimes Therapist Taehyung can make Jimin feel like heâs being poked and prodded, evaluated, and assessed, even when Taehyung doesnât mean to come off that way. Â
Boyfriend Taehyung doesnât go into Therapist Mode. Boyfriend Taehyung is gentle and understanding without being judgmental.Â
âI need Boyfriend Tae,â Jimin replies once he clears his throat.Â
âAlright, Boyfriend Tae, it is,â Taehyung confirms with a boxy smile. âBoyfriend Tae needs to shower, and heâd like you to join him. Is that okay?â
Jimin nods and takes Taehyungâs outstretched hands, allowing Taehyung to pull him up from the bed. In one sweeping motion, Taehyung lifts Jimin into his arms, carrying him bridal-style into the bathroom.Â
âI hate that you can manhandle me,â Jimin grumbles once Taehyung places him on the counter.Â
âThatâs very interesting,â Taehyung remarks in a sing-song voice as he begins unbuttoning his shirt. Inch by inch, golden skin on display. âUsually when I pick you up and throw you around, youâre babbling about how much you love how strââÂ
âShh!â Jimin presses his finger to his puckered lips, cheeks pink and sufficiently embarrassed. For a moment, his insecurities are forgotten, replaced by heat simmering in his stomach when Taehyungâs pretty hands begin unbuckling his belt.Â
He watches Taehyungâs eyes zero in on his finger and knows he isnât looking at his mouth but instead the tattoo of a seven on the inside of his finger: July 7th, their anniversary. When Taehyung strips out of his slacks once his shirt is discarded on the floor, he reveals his matching tattoo on his thigh. They got them on their first anniversary â a decision most of Jiminâs friends warned him against. Rightfully so. Getting matching tattoos after only a year of dating seems like a risk, but Jimin knew Taehyung was his forever since their first kiss.Â
âYou donât have to shower with me if you donât want to, jagiya.âÂ
Taehyung stands between Jiminâs legs, grabbing the counter's edge on either side of his hips. While Jimin was lost in his thoughts, Taehyung finished undressing. The only thing remaining is a thin gold chain resting on his pronounced collarbones. The chain matches the dangly earring hanging from his left earlobe. Taehyung looks so pretty in dainty jewelry yet still holds onto his particular brand of elegant masculinity.Â
âChim?â
Jimin blinks, forcing himself to stop thinking about how pathetic he looks next to Taehyung.
âHmm?âÂ
âAre you going to shower in your clothes?âÂ
âNoâŠâÂ
Unable to meet Taehyungâs dark eyes, Jimin tucks his chin to his chest. While Taehyung reaches behind his neck to remove his chain, Jimin wiggles off the counter to remove his clothes. He keeps his back to the mirror, afraid to look at what he knows heâll see there. Itâs bad enough that he can watch the front of his body as he sheds his clothes, each one a protective layer, like a snake shedding its skin. But Jimin isnât strong beneath the fabric; the more he takes off, the smaller he becomes.Â
âCan I help?âÂ
Taehyungâs fingers brush against Jiminâs neck as Jimin steps out of his jeans. The touch makes him shiver. He nods, and Taehyung gently removes Jiminâs diamond stud earrings, placing both on the counter alongside Taehyungâs chain and dangly earring.Â
âThere you go.â
âThank you,â Jimin whispers.Â
âOf course, baby.âÂ
Stepping away, Taehyung slides the glass shower door open and sticks his hand under the running water. Jiminâs not sure how he keeps losing track of reality; he only now realizes that the shower is running. Perhaps itâs his way of stalling, of avoiding whatâs about to happen.Â
A shower is never just a shower.Â
âCâmon, love.âÂ
Showers are easier with Taehyung. Jimin gets to close his eyes and lean his head back as Taehyungâs nimble fingers massage shampoo into his hair. He doesnât have to look at his body because Taehyung washes him with a sudsy washcloth. When itâs time to get out, Taehyung wraps Jimin in the fluffiest towel they own and whisks him away before he can catch a glimpse of his naked body in the mirror.Â
Jimin keeps the towel wrapped around his body while he sits on the bed and watches Taehyung. Nudity disgusts him when itâs his bare body, but he can never grow tired of the beauty of Taehyungâs naked body. Taehyung saunters around the room with confidence Jimin could only dream of. Even with his wet hair and soft cock, he looks like a god among men as he puts away their jewelry for safekeeping.Â
Catching Jiminâs eye through the mirror, Taehyung grins, boxy and wide.Â
âWere you checking out my ass, Park Jimin?âÂ
With a roll of his eyes, Jimin tugs the towel tighter around his body. Such a ridiculous question doesnât deserve a response.Â
Taehyung, however, is stubborn. Kneeling on the bed, he invades Jiminâs personal space as he leans forward, his hands resting on either side of Jiminâs thighs. Heâs wearing the mischievous grin that makes Jiminâs stomach flip.Â
âDo you know how cute you are?â Taehyung asks, cocking his head to the side as he admires Jimin â what on him, specifically, he has no idea. âSo fucking cute. I could eat you.âÂ
Jimin shivers. He leans back as Taehyung crawls forward until heâs eventually flat on his back.Â
âBoyfriend Tae is turning into Menace Tae,â Jimin mumbles, unable to meet Taehyungâs eyes. Theyâre dark and lidded.Â
âHmm.â Taehyung presses his palms into the mattress on either side of Jiminâs head, just above his shoulders.Â
Jimin naturally parts his legs so Taehyung can fit between them, causing the towel to hike up. When he shifts slightly, he can feel Taehyungâs cock rest against the inside of his thigh, warm and heavy â and a source of comfort, as odd as that may seem. The feeling is difficult for Jimin to explain. Having Taehyung so close that nothing separates them has always shaken Jimin to the bone. Nothing is so pure or sure of a reminder that Taehyung is here . He is alive, perfect, and present â all for Jimin to drown himself in the vanilla scent of his body wash and the fruity tartness of his shampoo. To be suffocated by such warmth would be more than Jimin deserves.Â
âMenace Tae would like to kiss you. Would that be okay?â Taehyung wets his lips as he waits, eyes gentle even if he does look like he wants to eat Jimin whole.Â
âYes,â Jimin says with an exhale.Â
Gently cupping Jiminâs face, Taehyung leans down and slots their lips together. Jimin feels his stomach swoop, an exhilarating energy thrumming through him when Taehyung sighs into his mouth. Despite the drag of Taehyungâs tongue along Jiminâs bottom lip and the light nibble he gives it, the kiss is relatively chaste.
Taehyung gently runs his fingers through Jiminâs hair, tugging the ends with the slightest force needed to tilt his head to the side. The new position allows him to deepen the kiss as their mouths move together effortlessly. Taehyungâs lips are soft from the lip balm he always uses after a shower. It tastes lightly of strawberries and cream and easily makes his lips glide over Jiminâs.Â
Being with Taehyung is always like this: easy. Love flows from him effortlessly, and Jimin takes takes takes. They donât part until Jimin whimpers into Taehyungâs mouth. Taehyung pulls back slightly, just enough to give them space to catch their breath â as if Jimin could possibly be anything other than dizzy in such proximity to him.Â
Jimin canât remember the last time they kissed like that. He canât remember when they last kissed at all, aside from the (usually) innocent little kisses Taehyung likes to cover him with. Rarely is it that Jiminâs cheeks, forehead, and nose escape Taehyungâs kisses. Physical intimacy was once a love language they both shared.Â
Eventually, Jimin became distant. And Taehyung, sweet Taehyung, never pushed him even though it meant little to no intimacy with the love of his life.Â
All the more reason for Taehyung to find someone new.Â
âI love you so much.âÂ
Taehyung's whispers are the crackle of embers simmering in a fireplace. Jimin can taste their smokiness on his lips if he concentrates hard enough on his words and less on how scared he is that Taehyung will touch the ugly parts of him.Â
When Taehyung leans further back, Jiminâs startled to see a small, sad smile tugging at his mouth.Â
âDo you not love me anymore, Jimin?âÂ
âW-what?â Jimin swallows around the lump forming in his throat, apprehension building inside him.Â
He watches with bright, glossy eyes as Taehyung reaches out to skim his fingertips along his jaw. It tickles as Taehyung starts just below his ear and glides like a ghost along the sharp edge until he reaches the curve of Jiminâs chin.Â
âJust tell me,â Taehyung commands softly, pressing his thumb against Jiminâs plush bottom lip. He pulls down on it slightly, forcing Jiminâs lips to part. âPlease.âÂ
The answer is so obvious Jimin wants to scream. He wants to take Taehyung by the shoulders and shake him until his pretty hair is in disarray and his cheeks are flushed. How can Taehyung not know? How can Taehyung hover over Jimin, damp hair haloing his bent head, honey gold skin glowing in the soft bedroom lighting, and think that there could be a universe in which Jimin doesnât love him?Â
Tears prickle at the corners of Jiminâs eyes as he struggles to maintain eye contact. His hands shake when he presses his palms against Taehyungâs cheeks, their arms interwoven like the rest of their bodies.
âOf course, I love you,â Jimin whispers.Â
Taehyung hums, leaning into Jiminâs touch. âSay it again.âÂ
âI love you,â Jimin repeats. He shouldnât say what comes next, but he does. The confession tumbles out of him just as haphazardly as his confession in the elevator, though this one isnât one Taehyung is familiar with. âI-I donât deserve your love, Tae.âÂ
Taehyungâs reaction is expected. His eyes fly open, hard and blazing, and a sharp wrinkle forms between his eyebrows.Â
âWhat did you just say?âÂ
Jimin lets his hands fall from Taehyungâs face. He lowers his gaze and tries to turn away, but Taehyung grasps his chin to keep him in place. âI donât deserve you.âÂ
Tilting Jiminâs chin, Taehyung returns his thumb to Jiminâs mouth, this time pulling his bottom lip away to stop Jimin from chewing on it.Â
âYou deserve even more than I could ever possibly give you, Park Jimin,â Taehyung murmurs.Â
The praise is too much for Jimin to bear. He wants to be defensive, to tell Taehyung that heâs being ridiculous. There canât possibly be truth to what he says. He even opens his mouth to say so, but Taehyungâs lips lock with his before any self-deprecating words can come out.Â
Itâs impossible not to fall into the trap of Taehyungâs sweet taste. All it takes is the slight pressure of Taehyungâs tongue swiping against his bottom lip for Jimin to melt completely. Parting his lips, he lets Taehyung lick at the inside of his mouth. Their tongues brush against each other before Taehyung bites Jiminâs plump bottom lip and tugs, sucking on it lightly before he finally lets go, only to dive back in to press an even more bruising kiss to Jiminâs lips. The words are unspoken, but Jimin feels them through the electricity that passes between their bodies: I love you, mine, mine, mine.Â
Jiminâs stomach flutters as he feels Taehyungâs hand slip beneath the fluffy folds of his towel and slide along his hip bone. His touch is cold compared to the heat of Jiminâs skin from being snuggled in the towel.Â
âIt hurts me to hear you talk about yourself like that, jagi,â Taehyungâs voice cracks with emotion. He speaks against Jiminâs lips. âPlease donât say those things.âÂ
Their eyes remain closed as they breathe in each other, the dizzying feeling of having Taehyung so close to him making Jimin need to hold onto something. He grips Taehyungâs biceps and relishes in the feel of the muscles flexing beneath his fingers.Â
âIâm sorry,â Jimin apologizes, meaning to say even more, but Taehyung hushes him because no apologies are needed. Only change â the promise to be kinder to himself. Itâs something Taehyung practically begs of Jimin, and it seems like it should be so easy. Yet theyâve gone through this before.Â
âYou are so beautiful, Chim,â Taehyung speaks into the air they breathe between them. âNot just your body, but your soul, too.âÂ
Squirming at what feels like unearned praise, Jimin tries to scoot up the bed to get from under Taehyung. âOkay, Jesse McCartney.âÂ
âShut up. Iâm trying to be serious here.â The biting words are paired with a lopsided grin as Taehyung stalks Jimin up the bed, his hands caging in Jiminâs head and his knees spreading Jiminâs thighs. âLet me appreciate my baby for a second, okay?âÂ
âI would rather appreciate you,â Jimin mumbles.Â
âAh, none of that. No diverting the attention away from yourself, Jimin-ssi.âÂ
In response, Jimin lets out a shuddery breath when Taehyung traces his fingers along his inner thigh. Itâs a sound that Taehyung notices because theyâre both in tune with each otherâs bodies. It scares Jimin sometimes, even as delicious as it is when Taehyung uses that connection to touch all the right spots to light Jimin up. Taking advantage of how Jiminâs eyes have fluttered shut, Taehyung leans down to press a kiss at the corner of his jaw and then trails them, hot and open-mouthed, down Jiminâs neck.Â
âI donât want to talk about me,â Jimin finally manages to get out, his voice nearly breaking when Taehyung dips his tongue into his collarbone.Â
âTalking about you is my favorite thing to do,â Taehyung gently scrapes his teeth against Jiminâs clavicle in a playful bite, âaside from kissing you. Loving you. Fucking you .â Taehyung whispers those last few words, and Jimin can feel him smirk against his skin when he shivers.Â
âSuch vulgar language,â Jimin scolds, yet he loosens his grip on his towel to let it slide off his shoulders, exposing more skin for Taehyung to plant kisses against. Heat pulls in Jiminâs gut as Taehyung sucks a hickey on his throat. He throws his head back against the bed, long, pretty neck on display.Â
âNot vulgar, just honest.â Taehyung presses his finger to the underside of Jiminâs chin and gently coaxes him to turn his head in the opposite direction so he can have access to the other side of his neck to devour.Â
A quiet moan slips from Jiminâs plump, parted lips when Taehyungâs semi-hard cock brushes against his own. At some point, the rest of his towel fell away, and Jimin realizes he forgot how powerful Taehyungâs attention is. As long as Taehyung has been kissing him, he hasnât thought about the self-conscious embarrassment of being naked.Â
Taehyung rests his forehead against Jiminâs, his pretty eyes fluttering closed.Â
âLet me worship you, jagi,â Taehyung murmurs. âYou deserve to be worshiped. Iâm so sorry I havenât done a good enough job showing you just how divine you are. âCause thatâs what you are, love. Divine. Heavenly.âÂ
âItâs not yourââÂ
âYes, it is. Itâs my job to take care of you, just as you take care of me. And you do so well, baby. Youâve been there for me, even when itâs been hard for you. I canât begin to express how much I appreciate you. So, please, let me show you?âÂ
Taehyung watches Jimin with an intensity that makes Jimin feel like heâs flayed, raw, and waiting to be consumed. But, rather than feel scrutinized, Jimin feels safe under Taehyungâs undivided attention.Â
Waiting for Jiminâs response, Taehyung sits back on his heels, knees still spread with Jiminâs thighs resting on the outside of Taehyungâs. He rubs his thumbs along Jiminâs hip bones in a swirling pattern that gives Jimin something to ground himself in.Â
âI love you,â is Jiminâs response, and the lopsided grin returns to Taehyungâs face. He licks his lips and runs his palms flat against Jiminâs sides, gliding upward to his chest. When his thumbs brush Jiminâs nipples, Jimin lets out a little gasp that makes Taehyungâs grin widen.Â
âSo sensitive,â Taehyung murmurs, his voice thick with desire. He drags his hands down Jiminâs torso until they rest on his spread thighs. âCan I suck you off, jagi? Will you let me make you feel good?âÂ
Instinctually, Jimin tenses his thighs and squeezes Taehyungâs legs. âY-yes, please,â he whimpers.Â
âAlways such good manners, hm, jagi? Such a well-behaved boy for me,â Taehyung praises as he lies between Jiminâs legs. He looks so pretty with his broad shoulders keeping Jimin spread open. The sight makes Jiminâs cock throb.Â
âTae,â Jimin whines, hands flying up to cover his face. Itâs been so long since theyâve been intimate, and Jimin has always been shy about sex. Dirty talk never fails to make his cock twitch and his cheeks burn with embarrassment.Â
âHmm, baby? What was that?â Taehyung teases. He flicks his tongue against Jiminâs balls and releases an appreciative giggle when Jimin whines again.Â
âStop teasing me.âÂ
There is no denying that Taehyung has always given Jimin what he wants. Itâs his weakness, his biggest character flaw. He canât say no to the boy with fluffy blonde hair and pouty lips who looks at Taehyung with round eyes as Taehyung licks a stripe up his cock from the thick base to the wet tip.
âAnything for my soulmate,â Taehyung murmurs, his lips brushing against the head of Jiminâs cock, bottom lip sticking to the tip from the precum dribbling out. Itâs beautifully sinful, filthy and loving, seeing Taehyungâs lips stretch around Jiminâs cock.Â
Taehyung suckles the head, massaging his tongue against the underside where the nerves are sensitive. More precum leaks from Jimin just as quickly as moans spill from his lips.Â
âLook at me,â Taehyung commands in a voice thick with lust. His tone makes goosebumps prickle across Jiminâs arms.Â
Raising up on his elbows slightly, Jimin watches as Taehyung slowly takes Jiminâs cock down his throat, his dark eyes never leaving Jiminâs. His mouth's warm, wet heat is enough to send Jiminâs head back as a loud, broken moan rips from his throat. A hard pinch to the inside of his thigh has Jimin snapping his head back up, just to see Taehyung narrow his eyes and hum as he begins to bob his head.Â
Look at me .Â
Jimin has to behave because he said he would, and Taehyung likes it when he does what heâs supposed to. So he keeps his hips flat on the bed and watches Taehyung take him all the way until his sharp, pretty nose presses against Jiminâs pelvis.Â
âFuck, you taste so good,â Taehyung groans as he takes a moment to breathe. âYou have the most perfect cock, jagi. So thick and pretty.â Taehyung dips his tongue into Jiminâs slit, and Jimin thinks he might cum already.Â
Of course, Taehyung can tell. Heâs teasing him on purpose, flicking his tongue against the tip of his cock repeatedly before suckling it, swirling his tongue around the ridge of the head. Itâs maddening that he wonât take more of him into his mouth again, but Jimin knows Taehyung is trying to work him up.Â
âPlease, Tae,â Jimin tries to beg, knowing it wonât work. All he receives in response is a devilish smile as Taehyung tilts his head to pepper Jiminâs cock with open-mouthed kisses.Â
âPretty cock for a pretty boy.âÂ
âDonât say that.âÂ
âBut you should know how pretty you are.â Pulling away from Jimin completely, Taehyung licks his lips free of precum and spit. âYouâd look even prettier split open on my cock.â Â
âTaehyung!âÂ
âWhat? Itâs true, isnât it?âÂ
Groaning with both hands covering his face again, Jimin gently kicks Taehyung in the thigh when he kneels on the bed to reach for the bottle of lube neglected in their nightstand drawer. His hands remain on his burning face when Taehyung settles back between his legs and he hears the bottle cap open.Â
âHey, Jimin-ah,â Taehyung calls out. His voice is gentle, and when Jimin peeks through his fingers, he finds a soft look has replaced the dark lustfulness of Taehyungâs eyes.
âYes?âÂ
Something about Jiminâs straightforward response makes Taehyung chuckle. He shakes his head, making his slightly damp dark curls sway over his forehead. âI think weâre kind of horny.âÂ
âStop being nasty!â Jimin tries to kick him again, but Taehyung presses his hand to the inside of Jiminâs thigh.Â
âIâm serious!â Taehyung insists with a laugh. âI just mean, I donât want us to rush into this when our emotions were so high earlier. I want to make sure you are okay with this since itâs been a while, and youâve been sad...âÂ
Itâs so sweet how Taehyung cares for Jimin. It may be unhealthy to think that there isnât anything wrong with Taehyung, but Jimin truly believes it. Perhaps selflessness is his one red flag. Regardless, it hurts Jiminâs heart from how cared for he feels as Taehyung stares down at him with adoration that he still canât believe he fully deserves.Â
One day, he thinks. One day, heâll be convinced.Â
âDonât make me say it,â Jimin complains with a pout and puppy eyes. It typically doesnât work, but he tries it just in case.Â
âYou must.â
âWhy?â
âConsent is sexy, love.âÂ
With a huff, Jimin spreads his thighs a bit wider and does his best to put on a brave face when he looks Taehyung directly in his eyes and says in his most polite tone, âI would like you to fuck me, please.âÂ
âMmm, thatâs what I like to hear.â Jimin gives him another kick. âHey! You better watch it.â Taehyungâs eyes sparkle with nothing but love, and Jimin knows that despite his insecurities, his eyes sparkle like that, too.Â
Taehyung was right, though. They havenât had sex in a while due to Jiminâs insecurities, and Jimin certainly hasnât fingered himself recently. Itâs evident in how tight Jimin is as Taehyung presses a lubed finger past his rim. It isnât uncomfortable, but Jimin tenses anyway. Too many thoughts circulate in his head. Will he be too tight? Will he make Taehyung uncomfortable? What if they canât have sex at all? What if it hurts Jimin? What if Taehyung thinks Jimin is being too difficult and gives up on him?Â
âJagi, can you relax for me?â Taehyung is gentle when he pushes a second finger in. Jimin watches him pour a little more lube to help with the slide. âYouâre doing so good, just lie back, okay? Let me take care of you.âÂ
âOkay, okay,â Jimin rushes to say, dropping back onto the bed. He holds one leg to his chest while Taehyung pushes back the other with his free hand. âCan you keep talking to me?âÂ
âDirty talk? Like how badly I want to fuck you? How I was thinking about it all night during the party because you looked so sexy in that outfit, wearing my favorite jeans on you that make your ass lookââÂ
âOh my god, Taehyung.â Jimin smiles at the ceiling when he hears Taehyung chuckle.Â
âIs it working?â
It is, but Jimin doesnât want to tell him that. Besides, Taehyung already knows itâs working; he has three fingers in and is applying light pressure to Jiminâs prostate. Jimin trembles as Taehyung massages his most sensitive spot. Even though itâs slow and barely much of a caress, Taehyungâs skillful fingers work Jimin into a whimpering mess, coaxing moan after moan out of him until the room is full of Taehyungâs name and the squelch of lube. Jiminâs free hand fists the bed sheets above his head to give himself some semblance of self-control when Taehyung reaches up to circle a lubed finger around Jiminâs perky nipple.Â
âYour nipples are so cute,â Taehyung muses, dragging his wet finger across Jiminâs chest to swirl around the other nipple.Â
Jimin tries to scoff, but instead, he moans when Taehyung pinches his nipple. âN-nipples arenât c-cute,â he stammers.Â
âYours are.âÂ
âThey look, oh fuck,â Taehyung leans forward to suck one of Jiminâs nipples as he continues tweaking the other, âT-the same as, ohh god, as yours, fuck.â Distracted, Jimin doesnât tense when Taehyung slowly thrusts four fingers inside of him.Â
âSo you think my nipples are cute?âÂ
âTaehyung, please, Iâll cum,â Jimin hiccups, moisture gathering at his eyelashes. Taehyungâs teasing is too much for Jimin to handle. His thighs quiver uncontrollably, and his cock leaks onto his stomach as Taehyung massages his prostate with the slightest of touches.Â
Having mercy on him, Taehyung slowly removes his fingers and uses the excess lube to stroke his neglected cock. It hangs thick and heavy between his legs. Jimin canât help but admire it as Taehyung applies a bit more lube, drizzling it directly onto his cock and hissing at the temperature. There are plenty of reasons for Jimin to adore Taehyung; his cock is most certainly on that list.Â
When Taehyungâs hand pauses its stroking, Jimin flits his eyes up to see a slight smirk playing on Taehyungâs lips.Â
âFirst, you were checking out my ass, now youâre checking out my dick.âÂ
âKim Taehyung,â Jimin tries to scold, but then Taehyung is pressing the fat head of his cock against Jiminâs rim, and suddenly he canât seem to make his mouth form words. All he can do is let it hang open as Taehyung slowly pushes forward.Â
âFuck, you open up so beautifully for me, jagi.â Taehyung squeezes the back of Jiminâs thigh and adjusts the angle to open him up better. He slides into Jimin slowly, mindful of any potential discomfort, though Jimin can tell by how Taehyung clenches his jaw that heâs just as affected as Jimin.Â
And, fuck, is Jimin affected. His arm gives out before Taehyung is even halfway in, and Taehyung has to throw Jiminâs legs over his shoulders because Jimin canât hold himself open anymore.Â
âS-sorry,â Jimin moans, scrambling to hold onto the sheets when Taehyung lifts his hips to pull him the rest of the way onto his cock. His big hands squeeze Jiminâs hips, thumbs massaging Jiminâs stomach as he slowly begins to thrust into him.Â
âThis okay?â Taehyung reaches out to brush a few strands of hair from Jiminâs face. His pace is slow but measured, each thrust hitting deep and sharp.Â
âS-so good, Tae, you feel so good,â Jimin babbles, his entire body pulsing with desire as Taehyung hits his prostate with every thrust.Â
âYou deserve to feel good,â Taehyung whispers against Jiminâs leg when he turns his head to the side to press a kiss there. âAnd all I want to do is make you feel good. For the rest of my life.âÂ
âFuck,â Jimin whimpers, blinking back tears. âStop being so sweet. Go back to the dirty talk.âÂ
Taehyung tosses his head back in a deep laugh that rumbles from his chest, and it makes Jimin feel good to have a partner he can cry and laugh with during sex.Â
Sex isnât always so emotional with Taehyung. Sometimes, itâs sweaty and fast-paced, just skin slapping, scratches, and bruises. But tonight, Jimin has to hold himself back from crying as Taehyung whispers praises into his skin and rocks into him like itâs the only thing he wants to do.Â
This is the embarrassing part where Jimin starts telling Taehyung how much he loves his cock, how full he feels, how special Taehyung treats him. It does nothing to help with Taehyungâs ego, of course, for he just grins down at Jimin and caresses the side of his face, and tells him, âMy cock was made for you, baby. Made to fill up your perfect little hole and make you cry my name so prettily.âÂ
Taehyungâs thrusts are intentional; neither of them will last very long, and Taehyung knows that. He purposefully focuses on Jiminâs pleasure, fucking into him at the perfect angle. Thereâs something tender about how he places his right hand on Jiminâs lower stomach and presses down slightly. The pressure forces Jimin to relax his muscles while heightening the feeling of Taehyungâs cock diving deeper inside him with each snap of Taehyungâs hips. Years of being in a relationship have given Taehyung the time to learn Jiminâs body, but Taehyungâs care for Jimin makes him know his body.Â
Even though Jimin hates his body more often than not, he canât deny that Taehyung treats it with so much care that sometimes he thinks he can see the beauty Taehyung sees. Taehyung makes him beautiful.Â
âGod, youâre incredible, baby,â Taehyung says after he inhales sharply. âYou take me so well, make me feel so good.â Itâs hot how he looks down at where they meet as if heâs seeing them connected for the first time.Â
Jimin feels lightheaded as Taehyung praises him, each languid declaration of adoration and love matching the easy roll of Taehyungâs hips against his. He squeezes the bunched-up bed sheets in his fists even tighter and tilts his chin in a silent request.Â
Taehyung leans forward, pressing Jiminâs thighs against his chest to capture his lips in his own. Theyâre sloppier this time, Taehyung drawing Jiminâs tongue into his mouth and sucking it at the same smooth pace heâs fucking him.Â
âIâm close,â Jimin gasps, quickly letting go of the bed with one hand to reach for his cock.Â
âNo,â Taehyung swats at Jiminâs hand, grabbing his wrist and holding it against the bed, âIâve got you, jagi. Weâll cum together, okay? Can you do that for me, baby?â He smears the precum leaking from Jiminâs tip down the length of his cock and begins to pump his fist at the same pace as he fucks into Jimin.Â
âY-y-yess, please, Tae, I can, for you,â Jimin cries, and Taehyung has to hold him against the bed to stop his hips from bucking and throwing off Taehyungâs already slipping rhythm as he fucks them toward their release.Â
Itâs hot, letting Taehyung jerk Jimin off as he fucks him. It allows Jimin to give in to the pleasure without having to concentrate on getting himself off. He can let his brain turn to static, white noise enveloping him as he cums all over his stomach and chest with a silent cry. His mouth falls open in a perfect O-shape, and every muscle in his body constricts.Â
The only sound that breaks through the static is Taehyung crying out his name in the sweetest of songs as he cums inside of him.Â
âFuck,â Taehyung groans, his grip on Jiminâs waist bruising as he lazily fucks his cum into him, sliding all the way out to watch the thick head of his cock push it back inside. Itâs messy and wet and makes Jiminâs legs shake, but he relishes the oversensitivity because itâs been too long since heâs been brave enough to share his body.
It isnât until Taehyung fully pulls out that Jimin begins to cry. It doesnât help that the sweet praises and whispered promises of care from Taehyung increase tenfold when he scoops Jimin up into his arms and cuddles him, cum and all, against his chest.Â
âBabyâŠâÂ
âThis is so embarrassing,â Jimin groans, frantically wiping away the hot tears sliding sideways down his face. âI swear, Iâm not upset.â And he isnât. Thereâs just⊠pressure inside his chest, and the longer Taehyung holds him in his arms, the less pressure he feels.Â
âCrying is natural,â Taehyung begins, dangerously close to turning into Therapist Taehyung, but the roughness of his after-sex voice makes it hard for Jimin to pay attention to much else.Â
Ignoring Taehyungâs comment, Jimin nuzzles his face into the crook of his neck as Taehyung runs his hands over his back. âWhy are you so perfect?âÂ
Jimin pulls back far enough to look into Taehyungâs eyes. Theyâre no longer dark with lust, but the intensity of his love for Jimin will always be there.Â
âI thought you said I was perfect.âÂ
âOh, hush.â With a roll of his eyes, Taehyung crushes Jimin into his chest and swings his leg over his hip, sufficiently locking him into place. âYou are the only form of perfection that exists. Is that better?âÂ
Jimin doesnât believe Taehyung, not entirely, not yet. But he smiles against Taehyungâs warm skin and thinks he will one day.Â
