Pairing : [best friend!] Taehyung x reader [gender neutral]
Gener : Friends to lovers
Your phone started ringing beside your ear you groan as you reach for it, the hot air hits your skin that was out of your cover as you press the phone to your ear sleepily "hello?" You groggily answer.
"Hey...umm..uh..i- yaknow what I'm sorry it's late I'll call you another time-" your best friend taehyung softly spoke into the phone. You felt goosebumps on your skin at the sound of his soft voice. It's been a while since you saw each other too. So you were glad he called. Your work hours are ridiculous you barely had time to take care of your needs let alone meet up with him or give him a call.
"No it's okay...what's wrong?" You reply back. Even though you were half asleep the way his voice sounds concerned you.
"No really....it's a" you hear him sigh before he talked again "I umm...I had a question but umm" he scoffs "it's stupid"
Your eyebrows furrow as your mind race with empty thoughts. Feeling wide awake all of the sudden when he said he had a question. It's 1 am. It couldn't wait for tomorrow? You mentally groaned.
"Taehyung you know you can ask me anything..." you bite your bottom lip as you wait for him to continue.
"I was just wondering if you're available right now...now like I said it's stupid..it's late and I know you had work tonight and you should be resting now not dealing with my-" he sighs in frustration "anyways...I'll uh...I'll let you go for now" he sighs "if you need me you know where to-"
You cut off his rambling "you can tell me..talk to me whatever it is I hear you" you tell him. Feeling worried about the way he's acting right now.
"Come on it was selfish enough to call you this late at night...really you don't have to do that"
You sigh "you know what? just come over right now!" you knew him long enough to know that if he doesn't tell you now he won't ever tell you. And your curiosity and your worries got the best of you that you had to have him to come over.
"Really?" He asks. you hum a yes.
"You're sure?" He asks again "deadass!" You replied louder with a giggle at the end.
He sighs "well...alright I'll be over in 10-15 minutes"
"Okay I'll be waiting" you respond
"Yeah...see you then" he hangs up and you head towards the bathroom to look less sleepy.
You hear knocking on your door and you quickly make your way to it to open it.
"Hey!" He greets you cheerfully as soon as his eyes land on you "here give me a hug!" You embrace him without a second thought.
You pull away and he smiles "it's so nice to see you" he tells you as he shuts the door after him and walk beside you to the living room area. "I'm happy you're here-" you began to say then he quickly interrupts you
"Uhm look.. I'm really sorry for coming over so late I promise I won't stay long I just...I really needed to see you" you smile at him but then you frown when his face expression falls.
"Me and stacey..we uh-" he rubs the back of his neck nervously "we broke up."
You were taken aback by his words. It seemed like he loved her so much. You were always so jealous and prayed for many nights that you find someone who loves you the way taehyung loved his girlfriend.
Your best friend instincts kicked in and you couldn't help but feel defensive towards him, he was everything anyone would want! why the hell would their relationship end?! By the looks of it taehyung loved her way more than she did so you were sure she was the reason why it ended
"Oh I am so sorry taehyung- I'll end her ass what did she do?!" you say with an angry look on your face. Determined to give her a piece of your mind.
He laughs slightly but you can tell it was forced "no no you don't have to do all that...look as much as I appreciate the am sorry-ies and all that it's...it's fine..I'm fine" he sighs.
You sit crossed legs on the couch as you listen to him with no interruption, you knew how much break ups suck so you obviously was going to let him pour his heart out. Better than holding it in. Taehyung rarely opens up so you thought it was a good time to hear him tell you about his problems. You were always the one who ran to him and said way more than he needed to know sometimes. Now that it's his turn. this was bringing you even closer.
"The whole thing has been a long time coming..we've been distant from each other..neither one of us were really happy..we were just together because-" he scoffs "well...being alone is..it's scary"
A moment of silence passed. You weren't sure what to say. You knew it won't make it better so you just listened to him talk. Not that you were better at relationships yourself.
"But! Today was finally the end..I told her about how I felt...she told me how she felt and as sad as it might be to say...I think that's the first real conversation we've had in months...and it was the one that broke us up"
You couldn't help the pout that is forming on your face as you hear him tell you about it all...
"I just...I mean I knew it was going to happen I-I needed it to happen I was ready and prepared and uh...it still hurts.. I didn't love her I barely tolerated her but" he giggles "being alone fucking sucks and I just needed to get out of the apartment and I needed to see a friendly face for once so I'm here at your house keeping you awake when you should be asleep..." he laughs
You playfully hit him "hey don't say that I invited you over!"
"Really though I should get going-"
You panic, you didn't want him to leave. No you didn't want him to be on his own.. not after what he went through."how about you sleep over? I mean you're already here so..." you drag on nervously.
"Huh? Are you sure?" You nod yes furiously "I don't have anything planned tomorrow" you add on "I mean if you don't have anything to do tomorrow you're still tired right?" He asks
"Yes, but I don't want to leave you alone" you pout "Hey I'm fine..seriously get some rest-" you cut him off "I'm not leaving you alone!" You tell him a bit louder and a bit frustrated "you're not leaving me alone?" He raises his eyebrow.
"Nope!" You grab onto his arm pushing him towards your bedroom "alright...well I'm not letting you stay up and deal with my stupidness so how about you lay in bed get some rest and I'll uhh- I'll lay here on the floor- you still have that sleeping bag right?"
You both stood in your bedroom and you were taking out the sleeping bag from the wardrobe. "Yep it's right in here" you say as you try to pull it, struggling a bit. "Well I'll use that and I'll be right her next to you in the morning since you refuse to leave me alone" he remarks sarcastically. He pushes you softly to the side and takes the bag of your hands. Pulling it from the wardrobe with ease then he lays it on the ground beside your bed. you jump into your covers.
"Perfect!" You reply back already nuzzled into your pillow.
"Alright...good night!" He smiles before he turns off the lights and slides in the sleeping bag.
You hear his rapid breathing and as much as it felt calming that you had someone else sleep with you in your empty house you couldn't help but feel this heat rushing through your body, you weren't going to deny how taehyung made you feel. Sometimes your jokes were a little far from friendly, it got on Stacey's nerves and after you and her had one of those 'are you sure you're just best friends with my boyfriend?' Conversation you stopped hanging out with him. Fearing that you'll interfere with their relationship.
But how can you not fall for him? he treated you so nicely, he's kind and caring. He always was by your side. Anytime you needed him in a blink of an eye he was there. God he even was better than all of your exs! You don't remember any of your pervious significant others who treated you the way taehyung does. you were in love with teahyung. Deeply and whole heartedly, but the bond you two have is unlike anything else. And you'd never risk it. Because at the end of the day. He was all you have and you can't bare the thought of losing him.
You hear him toss and turn around causing his sleeping bag to make noises along with his movements you turn to him "Hey..." you call our to him.
"Hey...you're still awake?" Even in the dark you can still make out his features you can tell how restless he is.
"Yea...Are you okay?" You mumble as you rub your eyes. Trying to control your breathing. The room suddenly felt like it was on fire. your body was burning up under his gaze. The way he was looking at you made your heart tremble.
"Yeah I'm okay...are you okay?" He softly whispers. Birds and butterflies form in your stomach...why do you feel this way?
"Yeah I'm okay" you say as you let out a deep breath, 'damnit _____! control yourself!' You mentally scold yourself but the nervousness and a bit of excitement fill you up. You wanted to puke but you weren't feeling sick. You were overwhelmed.
"Then we'll be okay together" he smiles at you in the dark.
"Are you uncomfortable?" You ask as you prop your head on your hand and look down on him. The other hand traces the patterns on your covers.
"No I uhh..I couldn't get to sleep" he lets out a hearty giggle. "This sleeping bag is way too hot...I mean I guess it's entire job is to keep you bundled and warm but.." he sighs
"Is it too much?" You softly laugh "yeah it's too much for me" he replies scratching his upper arm.
"No I get it...I'm burning up as well" you sigh as you pull on the covers to move it away from the lower part of your body.
"You're hot too?" He scoffs you hum as you lay on your back. To get away from those hypnotizing eyes of his.
"Well- should we just..lay here and suffer or.." he drags on "what else do you want to do then?" You ask with a raised eyebrow.
"Can you get in bed with me?" The words slipped from your mouth without thinking you were panicking inside but he took you by surprise when you hear him say "yeah..I can- get in bed with you..I mean is that okay?"
"More than okay" you tell him your chest felt heavy and tight and your palms were sweating. You tried to talk to yourself. 'He is just your best friends. Best friends always sleep together in the same bed...it's okay right?'
You scoot over to your left side to let him lay to your right, he places his arm around you as you lay on his chest. He pulls the covers over you and nuzzles into you. his cheek pressed against the top of your head.
"How is this?" He asks. You just know that he has a sly look on his face. You felt the gaping hole in your body fill up. the moment he got in beside you. "Comfy.." you answer him. feeling content and comfortable.
Only then you realized how much you missed spending time with your best friend.
"I've missed you so much" you exclaim as you look up in his eyes. He smiles "yeah I've missed you too...it's been a long time since we've hung out together I've missed you so...so much"
He lifts your chin up and leaves a peck on your lips. Finally he was all yours and you wouldn't share him with anyone else. You smirk and your heart flips in your ribcage
You straddle his lap and he captures your lips again and again, passionately kissing you into the night...
