⤿ summary:
his fingers brush against your skin, spelling out all the ways that he loves you. you could’ve pictured all the ways he could’ve told you he loves you for the first time, but you didn’t expect to be woken up to this.
⤿ notes: happy birthday to one of the seven loves of my life, my sunshine, my hope, mr jung hoseok. i was freaking out for a few good minutes because i wanted to do something for his birthday, but i didn’t have any idea what to do. and then i remembered i had written several drabbles with the prompt ‘the first time he tells you he loves you’ and then the ‘he loves me’ drabble series came up! just in time for his birthday, too! this is just pure fluff, as is most of the series, and i really hope you guys enjoy!
It’s still dark when you begin to stir. You’re not sure why you’re waking up, but then you feel it. A finger, gently moving across your back. Hoseok’s up, that’s for sure. You let out a sigh, snuggling deeper into the bed, and decide to let him continue what he’s doing. He’s stopped while you’re moving, but then he picks up once again, shifting closer so you can feel the warmth of his body next to yours.
His movements are soft against the bare skin of your back, barely there touches. You can’t place the designs he’s drawing, but honestly, you’re not sure he really has any designs in mind. With the sheet laying low on your hips, he has the entire space of your back to himself. And he takes advantage of this. Swirls across your shoulders, dots up and down your spine, hearts on your lower back. You can’t help the smile that spreads across your lips as he moves onto drawing words across your back.
It takes you a moment to realize that he’s starting out with lyrics to songs. Mostly from BTS, but you notice some from other artists. All having to do with love. And after a while, he’s moving onto pet names, the ones he most likes to call you. When he’s pleased with that, he moves onto your name and then his. His finger hesitates for a moment, before he spells out his last name with your first. That makes your heart skip a beat, and you still have to make a conscious effort not to move. His last name with yours makes it across your back in different ways, switching from different fonts to different languages. You can pinpoint a couple, but you’re trying to place the letters in your head.
But that doesn’t last very long after you try to do so. Because he’s hesitating once more. His hand smooths flat over your back, and you hear him sigh. A soft kiss is pressed to your shoulder, and he leaves his lips there for quite a while. If it wasn’t for the lack of pressure to signal his body relaxing, you would’ve thought he’d fallen asleep on you. But he’s not. His lips are removed from your skin and a single finger is placed on your back again.
You’re not sure what you expected him to write, but what he does takes you by surprise. It shouldn’t have, seeing as he had been writing your names combined after all. But it’s different because he’s writing he loves you. Formal, informal, switching to different languages again, using different fonts, and then just settling on ‘love’, over and over again. Your heart swells in your chest, and you feel tears well up in your eyes. You know he thinks you’re asleep, but you can’t help but to speak up anyway.
“I love you too, Jung Hoseok. And maybe one day you can stick your last name in place of my own.” Your words make Hoseok jump, and you’re switching your tears for a laugh, moving so you can look at him in the dark.
“I… didn’t know you were awake.” Is the first thing he says, and he’s leaning up to turn on the lamp, holding his hand to his chest. You waste no time sitting up as well, and cupping his face in your hands. “That’s not how I was planning on telling you that I love you.”
“Really? Because I loved it and I love you. And I really think you should kiss me.”
He wastes no time gathering you into his arms and kissing you, whispering words of love into your mouth.

This is the second time you’ve been to The Genius Lab this week and it’s only Wednesday. Honestly, it surprised you the first time he asked you to come. You know how much work he puts in and you didn’t want to disturb him. You even told him that. But he insisted this week, and so you find yourself outside of the lab, knocking on the door.
It takes him a moment to open it, and you can see just how tired he is. It only makes you feel better that you got him coffee and his favorite order from the cafe that’s down the road. You know how hard he works, how lost he’ll get in his work that he’ll forget that he’s actually a human and needs to eat or sleep. So here you are, being the best significant other you can be and reminding him to be human.
“I brought you something,” you say, holding up the container holding the two cups of coffee, one for you and the other for him ( which you had written his name with hearts all over it so he would know instantly that it was his ), and the bag filled with the food you had gotten for you both. He blinks blearily at you, as if trying to piece together what was happening, and then a tired smile spreads across his face.
“You’re the absolute best,” he mumbles, and he’s reaching out, bypassing the bag and the coffee and instead cupping your face. He moves closer, and his lips find yours, kissing you sweetly. He lets it linger, and of course you enjoy it, because you absolutely love his kisses. They make you feel safe, warm. His kisses feel like home and you just never want him to stop kissing you. When he does pull back, he’s brushing his thumbs across the apples of your cheeks, and gives you a brighter smile. “I’m so glad you’re here.” you echo his smile with one of your own, the two of you looking close to the heart eyes emoji at each other.
He brings you inside, and you place everything on his desk, taking the cup out and handing it to him so he can take his first drink. He takes a long one, and you’re sure he’s downed about half of it, but you know he needs it. He’s sitting back down in his chair and you’re about to go sit on the couch, but he surprises you by pulling you onto his lap, wrapping his arms around you and placing the cup of coffee back onto the desk. He places his chin on your shoulder, and you smile at his head, moving to take his beanie off so you can run your fingers through his hair, hoping to help comfort him. He hums his pleasure, and you can’t help but to feel your heart flip flop, loving this moment.
“I love you, you know.” It’s said sleepily, but without any hesitation. Your movements stop as you take in his words and he’s pulling back so he can look at you. “You don’t... have to say it back if you don’t or you’re not ready. I just wanted you to know that I do.” He grows shy then, ducking his head back to rest against your shoulder and you can’t help but to smile.
“Well, it’s a good thing that I love you, too,” you say, and his head is popping right back up.
“Yeah?” his voice is soft, and he stares at you, the shyness evident in his gaze.
You can’t help but to giggle, nodding his head. “Yes. I love you, Min Yoongi.” You’re moving your hands from his hair to cup his cheeks, and squish his lips together. “You mean the absolute world to me…”
He’s letting you squish his cheeks, but his face breaks out into a smile, and you let it go so he can actually give you that gummy smile that you love so much.
“I love you…” he whispers, soft, so soft, and then he’s leaning up, lining your lips together. The kiss starts off sweet, before dipping further, and you can feel all the emotion that he puts into it. And you return that emotion, just happy to be kissing the one you love.

he’s never hesitant in showing any affection towards you, and he’s not afraid to show how much he does love you. you know it, but it’s the first time he’s told you it, and you almost don’t quite catch it.
⤿ notes: this week has been very stressful and it’s only going to get worse tomorrow bc of bts tickets. but i finally have had the energy and time to get this out and i hope you all enjoy it!!
He swings your conjoined hands together as you walk down the path, the sounds of nature surrounding the both of you. He can’t help but to glance at you, a soft smile spreading across his cheeks. He takes the time to bring you to a halt, and you raise an eyebrow up at him, but you soon get your answer as he leans down to kiss you. It’s soft, sweet, and your heart flutters as you return the kiss, smiling up at him when you both pull back.
“What was that for?” You ask him, as you both resume walking, hands swinging back and forth again.
“Because you’re beautiful,” he grins at you, and then looks forward, eyes taking in the sights around him. He has his camera hanging around his neck, and he’s already taken a few pictures of the area around you, and you’re both looking for the next best area to take a few more. But you can’t help but to blush when he says such nice things casually.
“Says you,” you huff, and he’s pausing to kiss the side of your face, switching to throw his arm over your shoulder, keeping you close.
“Yes, I do. You’re so beautiful and charming and sexy and cute and I love you and you inspire me so I’m going to take a lot of pictures when we find the right place and I can’t picture myself with anyone else.”
He says it so easily that you almost miss it. “Wait, what? Say that part again?”
He looks down at you, but you can see the glint in his eyes. “What part?”
“You know what part.” You frown, and he’s grinning as he pulls you towards the bridge that covers a beautiful pond.
“Oh, I see. The ‘I love you’ part?”
You’re pulling him to a stop this time, and you’re looking at him. “Yes. Did you mean it?” Your heart is set to be bursting out of your chest, and it only gets worse when he nods his head.
“I wouldn’t have said it if I didn’t mean it.”
You wrap a hand around the back of his neck and you slant your lips across his in a passionate kiss. It doesn’t last very long, because he’s grinning too much to actually kiss, but it’s enough for you.
“I love you, too, Taehyung,” you whisper, and in almost a blink of an eye, a camera is up in your face. He’s turned the flash off, thank god, but you hear the sound of it going off and you know it’s not going to be the best one, but he probably wanted it anyway. “Tae…” you warn, but he’s just grinning.
“Come on, kiss me again, we’re going to be those good looking couples with a bunch of photos showing how ridiculously in love they are!”
With the feeling in your chest and the way he’s looking at you, you can’t help but indulge him, kissing him and ignoring the camera sounds as he’s trying to take pictures himself of you two kissing.

⤿ summary: it all starts with jimin. one night of him asking to sleep in the bed that you and taehyung share turns into two and turns into more. you like it, and after a discussion with taehyung, you find out he shares the same feelings. but does jimin?
⤿ notes: this was written before i knew that the boys moved into a new dorm, so this takes place before they moved! the story is broken out into sections and hopefully the story dividers will help, especially if you’re on mobile! there may be some drabbles in this universe later on, but i have a lot of ideas planned and am currently writing, so anything else will be later on down the road! anyway, i hope you enjoy the story!
You’re a light sleeper. Always have been and you’re sure you always will. That’s why when the door opens quietly, it’s rousing you from your dreams. A soft noise escapes your lips and you’re picking your head up from where it lay on Taehyung’s chest, blinking the sleep out of your eyes. The door shuts just as quietly, and you can hear the padding of feet as someone walks over to the bed. You’re turning your head and squinting, trying to see who the person is, and when they get close enough, you’re finally able to put a name to them. “Jimin?”
He pauses, and his hand raises up, dragging his fingers through his hair. “Yeah. Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you.” He’s whispering, just like you had done, and you know you don’t want to wake your sleeping boyfriend. He’s a deeper sleeper than you are, which is good, but you’re not sure what will wake him up or not.
“It’s okay, what’s wrong?” You’re gently extracting yourself from Taehyung’s hold to sit up, and he makes a small noise before turning onto his stomach, head snuggling into the pillow. You and Jimin are quiet for a moment, watching him, and then you’re looking up at Jimin.
“I couldn’t sleep and Hobi hyung’s being weird in his sleep again so I didn’t want to stay in my room.” He’s sitting down on the floor next to the bed and you’re letting out a soft laugh.
“So you decided to come into Tae’s room?”
“I used to do it before…” he trails off and you’re pursing your lips. Obviously before you started sleeping over. It’s been more recent, and sure, he could spend the night at your place, but you know he’s used to the dorm, he feels more comfortable being around the other members. And you get along with them, too. They’ve all welcomed you with open arms.
You know they’ve all shared beds together. They’re close, they’re around each other almost all the time, you know how they love their skinship. So you’re not surprised to hear that Jimin and Taehyung have shared a bed together. You’re sure every single one of them has done so. But you never thought how it would change with you over. You think it's more of a habit that Jimin’s found himself here. He probably forgot that you were here and was on autopilot.
You hesitate for a moment before gently and quietly climbing over Taehyung to be on his other side, leaving the other half of the bed available for Jimin. “You’re more than welcome to sleep with us. I don’t mind and I’m sure Tae won’t either.” You’re not going to let him sleep on the couch, and besides, it’s not like he’s going to be curled up next to you. He’ll be curled up next to Taehyung.
This time Jimin hesitates. “Are you sure?”
You let out a soft sound of agreement. “You came here for a reason, right? I’m not going to kick you out so you can be with Hoseok and his weird sleep habits,” you giggle softly, before getting under the covers and snuggling back up to Taehyung. “Come sleep, Jiminie.” You’re wiggling your fingers at him and he’s slowly slipping into the bed. He tangles his fingers with yours, and your hands rest together on Taehyung’s back as you both get comfortable enough to sleep.
“Thank you,” Jimin whispers, and you hum in return.
“Anytime.”
It becomes a semi regular thing whenever you spend the night at the dorm. Every other time that you’re there, Jimin comes in, making some excuse to sleep with you and Taehyung. Now you and Taehyung have made it a habit to leave some room for Jimin’s body when you’re over. Most time he’s curled up against Taehyung, who has no complaints, as he’s used to it, but in some times that you’re too tired to move or just simply forget to be on the other side of Taehyung, Jimin curls up against your body.
You don’t mind, liking the feeling of being completely enveloped by the both of them. It’s not that you don’t feel safe when you’re with Taehyung, but sleeping between the both of them? It makes you feel like nothing could ever harm you. And you like it. A lot, actually.
“Hey, Tae?” You pipe up one night when it’s just the two of you in the dorm. It’s been about a month and a half of Jimin coming in during the night, and you and Taehyung haven’t really spoken about it. It’s been more of an unspoken thing, the only speaking being on who is going to let Jimin curl up with him. But now you feel like you have to speak about it, especially when you’re feeling like you want it to happen all the time.
“Yes?” He’s looking up from his phone, giving you a silly grin which causes your heart to feel like it’s going to explode with love. You can’t resist the urge to lean over, giving him a sweet kiss that he returns eagerly. He keeps the kiss going for as long as possible, hands reaching for your waist to pick you up and plop you onto his lap. “Is this what you wanted?” He asks, when the both of you pull away, breathless.
“No, it wasn’t,” you start out with a little laugh, “but I’m not complaining about it.” The both of you giggle again when he gives you a suggestive wiggle of his eyebrows, but he doesn’t comment on anything more, waiting for you to speak up about what you had originally planned.
You’re biting your bottom lip, and Taehyung, seeing that you’re nervous, reaches up with both hands, cupping your face and dragging his thumbs across your cheeks to help you feel better. It works, and you’re letting out a sigh. “It’s about Jimin.”
He’s raising an eyebrow, and tilts his head to the side slightly. “About him sleeping with us?”
“Yeah.”
“Do you not want it to happen anymore?” He’s asking, softly, and then his nerves seem to pop up as well because he doesn’t stop talking. “Shit, I’m sorry, I thought it was okay, especially since you were kind of the one to suggest it and I’m used to it, but I didn’t even think about you. Are you uncomfortable? Do you feel pressured, I know Jimin and I don’t want you to feel that at all. I should’ve asked you the first night it happened but I-”
You had been taken aback at how he started to ramble but now you’re shaking your head, reaching up to press a finger against his lips, effectively cutting him off. “Taehyung, no, it’s…” you trail off for a moment, before just coming out with it. “It’s the opposite. I like him sleeping with us. And I don’t want you taking this the wrong way, because I love you and I feel safe with you no matter what, but with him with us? Especially when he’s curled up with me? I feel a lot better that way. And…” you look down at his chest, your fingers moving to rest on the top button of his shirt and fiddling with it. “I want him to sleep and be with us all the time…”
Taehyung stares at you, long enough for you to feel self conscious and worried that you had just ruined everything good in your life. But then he’s pulling you into a long kiss, and it’s soft, sweet, but full of passion. You’re breathless once again when he pulls away, and he’s leaving his forehead against yours.
“Me too.”
It starts out slow, the both of you integrating more skinship with Jimin. It’s always been there with Taehyung and Jimin, and Taehyung told you during your long talk that sometimes when he misses you on tour or in general and he’s not around you, he’ll substitute skinship with Jimin. You had pointed out that maybe he just did it because he wanted to touch Jimin, which, after blushing and glancing away from you, he admitted that he did, too.
So now whenever Jimin is around, you and Taehyung find some way to touch him. He’s eating with the both of you? You and Taehyung decide to put him in the middle, which, of course, would make Jimin give you questioning looks. You and Taehyung normally sit side by side, but now? You wanted to include Jimin. And while he was curious about it, he didn’t verbally question it.
Whenever he sat next to you two on the couch, Taehyung would throw an arm around his shoulder, pressing him to his side, and you would casually throw your legs over his and Tae’s laps. You wanted to climb into Jimin’s lap, but that’s a little too much right now. So you suppress it and only moan about it to Tae when you two are alone.
And still, Jimin finds his way into Taehyung’s bed, and you and Tae love it. He doesn’t even have an excuse anymore, but every single time you’re over now, he’s there, crawling into bed with you. You want to bring him into the middle, in between you and Tae, but you’re stuck on how to do that at this point in time. So you settle with the skinship in the day time, trying to make up for it.
“Jiminie!” Taehyung’s letting go of your hand to skip up to meet Jimin at the end of the hall. You’re grinning, and you follow behind him, although at a slower pace than your over eager boyfriend. Jimin stops, turning his head, and he’s smiling at the both of you.
“I didn’t know you guys were behind me,” he says when you finally reach the two men.
“We’re super sneaky like that,” Taehyung grins, and then gives you a knowing look. Your only acknowledgement that you saw the look is you reaching out to lace your fingers with Jimin’s.
“We’re glad we caught you, we were just going to head out and get some food. You want to come with?” You’re pressing close to him, giving him an eager smile. Tae’s taking one out of your book, and goes as far as to give him puppy dog eyes and resting his chin on his shoulder.
Jimin looks back and forth between the two of you and then flushes red. It makes you both grin even more and you’re trying to hold back your giggles. “You’re not going to let me say no, are you?” He’s letting out a sigh, and you and Taehyung are shaking your heads.
“Nope! You’re coming with us!” Taehyung’s pulling away and then grasping Jimin’s other hand and leading the way with a spring in his step. You refuse to let go of Jimin’s hand, instead tightening your grip, and he’s giving your hand a squeeze in return. It’s making your heart do a flip flop and you’re beaming up at him when he turns his head to look at you.
You manage to keep Jimin in the middle the rest of the night. He seems almost used to it by now, and you’re very glad about it. He only gives you two a weird look when you sit him down in the middle of you two when you get back to the dorm to watch a movie. Taehyung normally claims you whenever you’re on the couch, needing cuddles. You’re normally on his lap, or curled up against his side, his arm wrapped tightly around you and kisses pressed against your head.
So the fact that you’re now pressed against Jimin’s side? It speaks for itself. Taehyung curls up against Jimin’s side, head resting on his shoulder, arm across his stomach so he can lace fingers with you. You wish you could be as free at Tae is at the moment, but you’re keeping arm to arm, as to not completely scare Jimin off. Although you’ve woke up to being tangled in his arms, this feels different. Sleep could be brushed off, but when you’re awake? It feels like it means more. And even though he’s the one coming to the bed at night, you and Taehyung are the ones who want to make it more.
You both want Jimin with you. In your bed and in your hearts.
You don’t want to ruin anything, you don’t want to push things too far. But still, you can’t help but to rest your head against his shoulder once your eyes feel heavy. You’re shutting them, letting out a soft sigh and squeezing Taehyung’s hand. He squeezes in return, and you’re smiling at the small gesture. Jimin, on the other hand, is resting his head against yours, and his arm slips from next to yours to around your waist, tugging you closer to him and his side.
You end up falling asleep, missing the rest of the movie. You’re not sure how long you’ve been asleep for, but you awaken when Tae gently shakes you, whispering your name. You groan, and then you’re wrapping your arms around Jimin’s waist, pressing yourself closer to him. “Let me sleep,” you’re murmuring, and you can feel the chuckle that Jimin lets out more than hear it.
“I’m taking you to bed, come on,” Taehyung presses a kiss to your cheek, and then wraps his own arms around you, trying to pry you off of Jimin.
You frown, and before your brain can filter anything, you continue speaking. “I want Jimin to come to bed with us too.” The two men are silent after that, and you’re frowning. “He won’t have to sneak in. I want him with us now.”
You’re met with more silence and okay, that makes you pull back, worried that you pushed too far. “I… sor-” you start to say, before Jimin’s speaking up.
“I’ll come.” His face is unreadable, but it’s soft. Your heart flutters and you can feel butterflies in your stomach. You’re biting your bottom lip and you feel even more giddy when Taehyung squeezes his arms around your waist.
“Can you sleep in the middle?” Might as well push your luck even more. You can hear Taehyung’s intake of breath, knowing that maybe you’re pushing too much, but Jimin’s not running away. He does flush, looking slightly embarrassed and he’s running his fingers through his hair.
“Do… you guys want me to?”
“More than anything.” It’s Taehyung that speaks up this time, and you nod, letting Jimin know that you both agree. Jimin looks back and forth between you and Taehyung and then he’s licking his lips. Your eyes flicker there, before you’re licking your own. Jimin seems to notice, as you’re almost positive his eyes focus on your lips, before he’s glancing away, to the side of your head, where you know Taehyung is located at.
“Okay,” Jimin whispers.
Taehyung is the first one to move, pressing a smacking kiss to the back of your neck, before he’s standing up. He’s holding one hand out to you, helping you up, and then he’s offering the same hand to Jimin, doing the same for him. You’re very glad that you all had decided to change into your pajamas before putting on the movie, so you all waste no time heading to the bedroom, towards Tae’s bed. You’re slipping in first, placing yourself near the wall, and you’re opening your arms, fingers opening and closing to try and get Jimin to come to you. He hesitates for a moment, and after how many times you’ve slept together, the fact that he’s doing it now is cute.
But it clicks in your head that something’s changed. It’s doesn’t feel as platonic anymore. No, it’s different. It’s more. The tension is growing thicker, you can feel the difference. And after tonight, you know things are going to change. The fact that Jimin hasn’t protested to any of this makes you hopeful, and you know that you and Tae are going to have a long talk tomorrow.
But now, Jimin is sliding into bed, situating himself next to you and you’re giving him a soft smile. He’s wrapping an arm around your waist, and you’re pulling him closer to you. Tae slips in behind Jimin, and once again, he’s seeking out your hand. Your fingers are tangling together, and before he starts to make himself comfortable, his head pops up over Jimin’s. “Wait, goodnight kiss.”
You’re tilting your head up, towards him, and Taehyung’s leaning down, pressing a soft kiss against your lips. You let out a hum, and you hear Jimin’s sharp inhale. The kiss deepens, which means that Taehyung must’ve heard it too and is putting on a show for Jimin. You want the kiss to continue, want to get yourself lost in Tae, pull Jimin in, but no, it’d be too much, too fast. You’re the one pulling back, giving Taehyung a smile and a quick brush of your nose against his.
“There’s always more tomorrow, Tae Tae,” you say, softly, and he’s pressing a quick kiss against your lips again.
“I know, but I couldn’t help myself.” He’s giggling as he pulls back, and then he’s leaning down to press a kiss against Jimin’s cheek. “Also couldn’t help myself for that.”
As you’re close to Jimin, facing each other and bodies pressed against each other, you feel him tense up slightly before he relaxes. “Are goodnight kisses going to be a thing for me now?” He’s asking, and you can hear the amusement in his voice. Also a mix of something else but you can’t really place it.
“If you want.” You’re the one who’s speaking up this time, and he’s looking at you for a moment before he gives a short nod. You’re biting your bottom lip, and you could push this as far as it can go, but you’re not. No, you have to have some control. And it’s a good thing you’ve told Taehyung time and time before to restrain himself because you’re sure if he wasn’t, he would’ve turned Jimin around and kissed him senseless.
No, you’re leaning forward to press a kiss to Jimin’s forehead, soft, sweet, gentle, and that’s that. Nothing more, even though you’re dying to finally feel his lips against yours. “Goodnight, my boys,” you’re whispering, and then you’re curling up against Jimin, your head ducking underneath his chin. He’s wrapping his arms around you, holding you to his chest, and you can feel Taehyung’s hand resting on your hip, meaning that he’s curled around Jimin.
“Goodnight.” Jimin whispers into your hair, and you fall asleep quickly, excited for the day tomorrow.
You expected this. You had actually been waiting for it and had expected it sooner. But it wasn’t who you thought it was going to be first. You expected Namjoon, or maybe Yoongi, but no. It was Hoseok who sat down next to you and Taehyung on the couch when it was just the three of you there. “So, are you guys are permanently taking my roommate away from me?” He’s raising an eyebrow, hint of a smirk on his face as he watches the both of you.
“Maybe if you stop sleeping weirdly, he wouldn’t have to come to us,” Tae pipes up, and you know he’s smirking at that. He must be so proud of himself.
You’re letting out a tsk, and then you’re pinching his side as Hobi lets out a sound of protest and pushes Taehyung’s shoulder. It moves him more into you, but you’re managing not to move an inch, lips tugging into a smile.
“I don’t know, Hoseok, he just manages to find his way into our room now,” you tell him, looking up at him from over Tae’s head. The younger man is pouting now, burying his head into your neck and pulling him firmly onto his lap to cuddle you. You’re ignoring it, more focused on Hobi than anything. You don’t mind taking the brunt of this conversation, although you know Tae will add his two cents in when he feels like it.
“He’s been doing it for a while. It doesn’t bother you?” Hoseok is watching you carefully, and you’re tilting your head to the side, watching him in return. There doesn’t seem to be any disgust, just curiosity. Which makes you feel a little better.
“No, not at all. I just kind of have two koalas instead of one now.” You brush your fingers through Tae’s hair and you can feel the smile against your skin.
Hobi is silent for a moment, and you two gaze at each other, trying to figure out what the other one is thinking. It doesn’t work out very well. You can’t gauge his feelings from his face, but you’re sure if Tae lifted his head, he would’ve figured it out by now.
Finally, he speaks up, and it’s hesitant. “Are you… all a thing or something?” You can tell he wasn’t sure how to put it, but at least it’s out in the open now.
“No,” you start, and you take a breath to continue, but Taehyung cuts you off, lifting his head up to speak.
“Not yet.”
Hoseok’s looking back and forth between the both of you. “Yet?”
The both of you are nodding simultaneously. “Yeah, we… want him to be with us,” you explain. You can feel Tae’s fingers fidgeting with the hem of your shirt, and you know he’s nervous about how Hoseok is going to take what has just been put out into the open. You’re nervous too, but you’re managing to make yourself calm on the outside, even though your stomach is in knots on the inside.
It does feel good to finally say it to someone besides the two of you. But as much as it feels good, you know that you may end up being judged for it. No, you’re 100% certain that you will. In some way shape or form, you will end up being judged. A poly relationship is not conventional, and you’re actually a little bit terrified about how everyone else will take it. You and Taehyung actually haven’t discussed what to do if someone didn’t approve of Jimin being with you two.
You don’t want to cause any problems in the group, and honestly, that’s the last thing you ever want. And in the silence, you can’t help but to let your feelings bubble over. “If that’s too weird or… if it’s going to cause any problems in the group then we’ll back off. We just… I just…” you have to stop, because your throat is closing up and you’re blinking to push the tears back.
“Hey,” Tae’s murmuring, peppering kisses to your head and you’re looking away, afraid to see the look on Hoseok’s face. Taehyung keeps you close, starting to gently rock you back and forth.
“Hey.” Hoseok’s reaching out, grasping your hands and ducking his head so you can look at him. “Yeah, it seems a little weird, but if you guys want to take a shot, I don’t see a problem with it. If you guys like him, go for it. And it doesn’t seem like he’s shying away, right? He’s the one who keeps going back to your room.”
He pauses, leaning forward to press a kiss to Tae’s head, and then to yours. “Tae-ah, you and Jimin-ah are my family, okay? And ___-ah, you’re pretty much one of the gang already,” he says, smiling at you guys. “I want you all happy, and if this is going to make you happy, then I’m behind you guys, okay?”
Taehyung’s letting go of you for a moment to pull Hoseok into the both of you, hugging him tightly with one arm. You’re sagging in relief, wrapping your own arm around Hoseok and he manages to find a way through the awkward angle to hug the both of you in return. With the support of Hoseok, it feels like everything is going to be a little easier.
You spend the next few nights over at your place, even though you want to stay there, wrapped in Taehyung’s and Jimin’s arms. But you have your own apartment, one that you’ve neglected lately. Taehyung comes to spend the night after the second night without you, and you want to call Jimin over to join you, but that may be pushing it. Besides, after the talk with Hoseok, you find yourself feeling the need to talk to someone else.
Namjoon.
He’s been quiet through the entire time that Jimin’s been coming into the room. Hasn’t mentioned it once. You figured if it was going to be a problem with him, he’d have brought it up by now. So you bring him out to eat, just the three of you, and when you’re situated in a private room in a restaurant, Taehyung casually brings up Jimin coming in at night.
“So, you haven’t really said anything about Jimin coming to our room at night.”
Namjoon’s chopsticks stop halfway to his mouth and his eyes narrow just slightly, looking back and forth between the two of you. Taehyung is unaffected, continuing eating while you’re fidgeting in your seat, nervously watching Namjoon’s reactions.
“Is that why you bought me dinner? To talk about this?” He’s asking, before he takes a bite of his food.
“Yeah,” Tae nods, and when Namjoon looks over at you, you give him a short nod as well.
“Okay.” He finishes chewing, puts his chopsticks down and fixes you both with a stare. “Well, if it makes you guys feel any better, I’m not bothered by it. Hoseok kind of informed Yoongi and me of your talk already, so we have an idea of what’s going on. Love is love and if it makes you guys happy, then go for it.”
And then he casually goes back to eating. You’re letting out a breath you didn’t know you’ve been holding, and Taehyung is leaning over, giving you a kiss on the cheek. “See? Everything’s okay,” he’s whispering in your ear.
Conversation goes back to normal after that, and you’re just extremely happy to get everything out of the way. Also, you’re wondering just who else knows about what’s going on with you three. If Hoseok, Yoongi, and Namjoon know, does that mean Seokjin and Jungkook know as well? If Namjoon hasn’t warned you about anything, then it must be okay with the other guys, right?
You just hope that none of the guys informed Jimin about what’s going on. Even though you know he’s receptive to everything that’s going on, you haven’t had the talk with him yet and you’re already planning that in your head. You wanted to wait until after you had talked to Namjoon, and it seems like everything’s going your way.
It’s just time to talk to Jimin.
Normally you’d go out for take out, but not tonight. No, tonight you’re cooking dinner, or at least, trying to. You’re not as good as Jin, of course, but you’ve picked up a few tips here and there. You’re wanting this to go good, and at first, when it was just sleeping and the casual hang outs with Jimin, it’s easy. You didn’t feel nervous at all. But now? It’s different. Because you’re asking him to be apart of your heart. Your’s and Taehyung’s.
You’re worried. What if it was just affection he was looking for? Nothing more? What if you scared him off and made things awkward? What if this talk ruined everything? Your stomach is churning and you’re pausing in your chopping of the vegetables, lowering your head and taking a deep breath.
“Hey.” You feel the breath against your neck before your mind catches up to the fact that Taehyung has just spoken. His lips press against your skin afterwards, his arms coming to wrap around your stomach and his entire body presses against you. “Don’t stress out about this, okay? Everything’s going to be fine. Even if Jimin doesn’t agree to everything, it’s not going to be the end of the world.” He sounds sad at the idea, and you know that it’d hurt the both of you if he didn’t agree. But you’d have to get over it. At least you had each other.
“Besides,” he picks back up, trailing more kisses up and down your neck. “Even if he doesn’t it’s not going to ruin anything. We’ll just have to work back to the way things used to be.”
You sigh, and then place your knife down. You turn around in his arms, placing a soft kiss to his lips. “I don’t want things to go back to normal…”
He cups your face in his hands, giving you a small smile. “Me neither. But if it does, we’ll be okay. Right?” His thumbs drag over your cheeks and he bends down to kiss your nose. “Right?” He’s peppering kisses across your face now, making you giggle.
“Right.”
You manage to finish preparing for dinner before you hop into the shower. Taehyung follows with you, making it a little difficult to actually get clean, but you manage. You dress casual, but nice, wanting to look good. Jimin has seen you bare faced and dressed down, so it really won’t make a difference but this is important to you. Taehyung even puts more effort into the way he looks than usual. It feels like a first date, and you both are nervous.
You’re just finished the finishing touches on dinner when there’s a knock on the door. “I’ll get it!” Taehyung says loudly, scrambling up from the table to race to the door. You already know it’s Jimin, seeing as he’d texted Taehyung when he had left the dorm to come here. So everything matches up. You hear Taehyung greet Jimin and you’re placing dinner on the table, making sure everything looked nice. You’re still fidgeting with the plating as you hear the two men come into the kitchen, and you have to force yourself to stop, turning so you can look at them.
The smile that spreads across your face when you see both of them, Tae’s arm slung casually across Jimin’s shoulders, is unconscious. “Look what I found,” Taehyung pipes up with a grin of his own, shaking Jimin a little and pressing his forehead to the side of Jimin’s head.
“Hi Jimin,” you say, and you waste no time in closing the distance between them, enveloping him into a hug. He hugs you back, instantly, murmuring his own hello to you in your ear.
It’s tempting to stay there, especially when Tae’s free hand slips across your hip, keeping the three of you tethered together. It feels so right, and you never want to leave, but there’s dinner to be eaten before you bring up the real reason why Jimin’s here.
“I made dinner,” you inform Jimin, pulling back so you can smile at him.
“Excuse me, we made dinner.”
You turn your head, eyes narrowing playfully. “I made it and you helped. There’s a difference,” you tease, before you’re leaning forward, pressing a kiss to his chin and then backing up.
“No there’s not!”
“Taehyung, we have a guest. Behave.” You’re still teasing as you reach out to tug gently on his ear, and he’s giving you a fond grin, which makes you give one back. “Come on, Jimin, let’s eat.” You’re grasping his hand, guiding him towards the table so you all can eat.
“Wait, you seriously made dinner?” He’s asking, staring down at the nicely plated food for a moment before glancing back up at you.
It makes you feel a bit nervous, but you’re powering through it anyway, fixing him with a small smile. “Yeah. I was just in the mood for cooking,” you answer with a shrug.
“They spent all day worrying about this, so you know it’s going to be good.”
“Taehyung.” You actually fix him with a glare this time, not wanting Jimin to know just how worked up you had been about this. Even when Taehyung had tried everything to destress you, you were still worked up. You would be until the talk was over.
“What? You put a lot of work into it, it’s not hard to figure it out.” Taehyung shrugs himself, then reaches out to grab the bottle of wine. He pours the liquid into the glasses that you had set out, and then sits down at the table.
Jimin’s gaze is focused on you and the smile he gives you makes your heart flip flop. “You cooked dinner for me?”
You flush, looking away from both men, and slowly you nod. “Yeah. Pretty much.”
Jimin’s stepping closer to you, and he’s pulling you into another hug, pressing his cheek to yours. “Thank you.”
“I’m going to eat all the food if you two don’t come over here,” Taehyung says, and you both turn to look at him. He fixes you both with a grin, and you let out a soft laugh.
“Don’t you dare, they made it for me!” Jimin instantly joins in, and the two start playfully bickering, making your heart soar.
Dinner goes smoothly, jokes and conversation topics flying freely. It’s just like every other dinner you’ve had, although most of them had been at restaurants or at the dorm. Never just the three of you like this. Never something that you had made just for the moment. It’s special. It means something to you and you just hope the rest of the night goes smoothly.
The plates all find their way to the sink, and Jimin rolls up his sleeves right away, getting Taehyung to help with the clean up. You sit on the counter, watching as Jimin washes and Taehyung dries. Once everything’s put away, Jimin grabs the bottle of wine, and the glasses make an appearance once again as you all make your way to the couch. You’re curled up against Taehyung’s side this time, placing yourself in the middle, fingers curled around your glass of wine. Your legs are across Jimin’s lap, and one hand holds his glass while the other traces designs on your calf. Taehyung’s hand is doing the same thing against your arm, and the other is flipping through the channels on the television.
It’s nice, so nice, and you want it to be like this every night. You feel good, the alcohol in your system making you feel warm, although you’re sure the boys also have something to do with you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. You let out a soft hum, taking the last sip of your wine before you’re placing it on the coffee table. Jimin downs the rest of his wine, mimicking you, and you can’t help but to giggle at that, shaking your head at him fondly.
The smile he gives you makes you want to lean over to kiss him and if it wasn’t for Taehyung’s fingers on your arm, you’re sure you would’ve moved to do so in a heartbeat. But you do sit forward, more towards Jimin than Taehyung, and Taehyung notices instantly. He settles on a show that’ll just be playing in the background, and he’s leaning down to whisper in your ear. “Time?”
You turn your head so you can kiss him softly, which is your response, before you move to sit up. He lets you, and Jimin’s hands are off of your leg as you pull them from his grasp, placing your feet on the floor instead. “Hey, Jimin, we have something we want to talk to you about,” you say, before you stop yourself from actually starting this conversation. You know that if you hadn’t, Taehyung would’ve piped up, but it’s still important that you’re in this conversation, too.
“Oh?” Jimin looks nervous, and he’s running his fingers through his hair, eyes flickering back and forth between you and Taehyung.
“Yeah. It’s been something we’ve been meaning to talk to you about for a while but we… hadn’t really figured out how to mention it or talk about it with you. But we’re just going to come right out with it.” Taehyung presses himself to your back, chin resting on your shoulder as you both look at Jimin.
And he looks ten times more nervous than he did before and before you can stop yourself, you’re reaching out to grasp his hand. Taehyung follows you moments later, placing his hand underneath the both of yours, his palm facing Jimin’s and resting on your fingers. “It’s nothing bad, so please don’t think anything. We just…” You trail off, and bite your bottom lip, trying to figure out how to say it. You’ve thought about it many times, you’ve even practiced a bit with Taehyung, but in the moment? It’s just a tad bit more difficult than you imagined.
“We want you to be with us. As in a relationship. With us.” Taehyung finishes your thought, and you’re so grateful for him.
The silence hangs in the air as Jimin’s eyes frantically switch from your face to Taehyung’s several times before his gaze drops to your combined hands. And as the silence grows and Jimin’s not saying anything, your heart begins to constrict and your brain panics.
“We’re not here to force you into anything, okay? When you started to come to the bed and slip in with us, it just felt right for us. And we know it’s not conventional what we’re asking, but we want to try it with you. We care about you so much and we have so much love to give and we want to share it with you. But if you don’t want to be with us, we understand, and everything will go back to the way things were, okay? We just… thought that we’d ask…” You had started out strong at first, even through your panicked and fast words, but at the end, your words grow soft.
Jimin’s staring at your conjoined hands, and you feel like you should take your hand away. But Taehyung hasn’t moved, so you’re hesitant to do so too. Besides, it’s not like Jimin has moved either. Everything’s on him now, and you just have to wait. Wait for him to move, wait for him to say something. Wait for anything to happen.
“You want me with you both? Not just for a night?” Jimin’s voice is soft, and his gaze is still on your hands. Taehyung is out from behind you, kneeling in front of Jimin, and he’s reaching out, putting his other hand on top of yours, trapping all of your hands between his own. The movement makes Jimin look at Taehyung, and Taehyung gives him a small smile before starting to speak.
“I know what you’re thinking. That we just want you for a threesome for one night. But that’s not what we’re looking for. Yes, the both of us are interested in you in more ways than one, and we’d like for you to eventually join us when we’re having sex, but that’s not just why we want you. I love you, Jimin. Have for a very long time. I know they’re falling for you, it’s hard not to. We want to date you, hold your hands, kiss your cheeks, cuddle with you, keep you in our beds. We want to have a relationship with you, just as all three of us instead of two of us. So don’t think that we’re just after one night, we want you with us for as long as you’ll have us.”
Everything is silent after that, and you’re looking back and forth between Jimin and Taehyung. The seconds tick on and on, before anything happens. Jimin’s free hand reaches up, cupping Taehyung’s face, and then he’s moving forward, lips connecting with his. Taehyung grunts, but wastes no time in kissing back, his hands flying up to Jimin’s neck to pull him closer. You watch them, heart caught in your throat, and while you’re sure that this means that he wants to be with you, you want to hear it straight from his mouth. Even if actions speak louder than words.
But it’s going to have to wait. Jimin and Taehyung are caught up in the kiss, Jimin’s hand releasing yours to tangle in Taehyung’s hair, and you can’t help but to let out a soft laugh, turning so you can rest your elbow on the back of the couch. You rest your chin on your hand, just watching them, a smile on your face.
They’re both flushed and breathing heavily when they pull back, and then both of their gazes turn to you. The heat in their gaze has you sucking in your breath, and the next thing you know, Jimin’s leaning forward, tangling his fingers in your hair and pulling you in for a deep kiss. He wastes no time with teasing, the kiss becoming deep in a matter of seconds. It takes your breath away, and you’re getting lost in the feeling of his lips against yours, getting lost in the passion and the feelings that he’s putting into the kiss.
Your hand slips up, taking a similar route that Taehyung did at first, resting on the back of Jimin’s neck. The other reaches out towards Taehyung, blindly searching for his hand, and he seems to figure out what you’re doing because he takes it. His lips are pressed to the back of your hand, and it’s a reminder that he’s there, watching the both of you; much like you did before. It feels so good, having him here, and finally being able to kiss Jimin. It’s even better than you imagined.
You don’t want to pull back, and you try and keep it going for as long as possible, placing several swift pecks against his lips as he leans back, trying to end it. You feel his lips pull into a smile and you can’t help it in return. He places his forehead against yours, and you’re just taking it in, trying to catch your breath.
“You know, I wasn’t really expecting this when I came here tonight,” Jimin murmurs, and then gently nuzzles his nose against yours.
“Honestly, we were kind of expecting you to turn us down,” Taehyung pipes up, and you pull back to look at him. He’s moving, sliding onto the couch behind Jimin, and burying his face against his neck.
“What, really? After the countless amounts of times that I cuddled with the both of you?” He looks utterly confused, and you can’t help but to let out a laugh.
“What can we say? You’re a cuddly guy. And it’s not like you haven’t done most of those things with any of the rest of the guys before. And you do kind of flirt with everyone.” You lean forward to press a fond kiss against his lips, and then beam when you see the flush upon his cheeks.
“Yeah, well… it meant more with the both of you.” He pauses, and then he’s reaching up with a hand to brush his fingers through Taehyung’s hair. “I didn’t get to say this before, but Taehyung, I love you too. And I have for a while.” He’s tilting to press a kiss against his head, and Taehyung is lifting up so he can stare bright eyed at Jimin. They stare at each other for a while, just taking everything in, and you watch them, fondly. Their relationship has always been special, you know this, and now the fact that they’re adding more to it? You can imagine how they’re feeling. You’re feeling about the same way right now.
They lean forward, as if with one mind, and they’re kissing again. This time it’s soft, just taking each other in, and you’re just taking in the sights once again. You figure that they’re going to need some time together, since their mutual pining has been years longer than you’ve known them both. And you don’t mind, you know you’re not going to be left out. Taehyung’s hand is still in yours, and Jimin’s hand has found its way to your waist, fingers slipping under your shirt to feel your skin.
The kiss goes on for quite some time, and you relish in the soft noises that escape their lips, relish in the way they look. The smiles on their faces when they pull back makes you grin as well, and you just can’t help the giddy feeling, seeing them both so happy as well.
“Don’t think I haven’t forgotten about you.” Jimin’s turning his head to look at you again and you just grin at him.
“I was just enjoying the show.” You giggle, Taehyung grins wickedly, and Jimin smirks. But then it’s softening and he’s leaning forward to kiss you gently.
“You can enjoy the show later, I have something I want to tell you,” he murmurs against your lips.
“Do tell.”
He pulls back to look at you, stroking the skin of your waist with his fingers. “You’ve been a bright part in my life, and I know in Taehyung’s, ever since we met you. You’re beautiful and I’m pretty sure I’ve been falling for you since I laid eyes on you.” He pauses, and he’s moving to lean his head against Taehyung’s, who has rested his chin on his shoulder so he can watch. “And this goes for the both of you. I’ve been more than content to watch the two of you together, knowing how happy you’ve made each other. You guys are so good for each other and I love seeing you guys in love. But some selfish part of me wanted you both so I just pushed my luck.
“And then you guys were receptive to me coming in at night and I just kept pushing it. I was so happy when you guys kept being around me and the going out and the cuddles and just… everything. When you guys started the talk, I was worried that you guys were going to tell me that I pushed too much and that I needed to back off. I was actually terrified for a moment and then you guys asked me to be with you and… well…” He laughs, and Taehyung is pressing kisses against his cheek. “I can’t believe me being selfish actually ended up like this.”
“Not selfish. Just a fool in love.” Taehyung whispers against Jimin’s skin.
“And I’m glad you did everything you did, Jimin, because if you hadn’t, we wouldn’t be here right now.” You lean forward, resting your head against Jimin’s free shoulder.
You all snuggle together, just taking in the moment, listening to each other’s breath and just holding one another. It’s quiet, nice, and you feel calm and loved all at once. “Does this mean I can stay over and sleep with you both tonight?” Jimin asks against your hair and you’re instantly nodding.
“Yes.”
“Of course,” Taehyung agrees.
“Good, because I’ve missed sleeping with the both of you.” You feel a kiss pressed to your head and hear another one given, so you know he’s just kissed the both of you. You retaliate with a kiss on his neck, snuggling even closer to Jimin.
It’s only later on during the night, when you’re all cuddled in bed, half asleep, that Taehyung pipes up. “You know, this just means we’re gonna have to get a bigger bed, right?”

Chapter Text
Babies sleep a fucking ton. Logically, he knows that; he had, after all, read the books. But the reality is still surprising. He's sure Jemma would have some scientific answer for it but, honestly, it freaks him out. It's all Abby does. She's three days old and has only been awake for five hours of it total.
He likes sleeping - who doesn't – but it is so much and he can't help but wonder if it means something is wrong, if it has to do with the Down Syndrome.
He'd have asked if it is that or just a regular baby thing, but Jemma is really touchy when they attribute things to Abby's Down's.
Case and point? That first attempt at breastfeeding had not gone well. It had ended in tears for both his girls and when the lactation consultant had said: "Babies with Down Syndrome often have a difficult time latching on because their tongues don't always fit in their mouths and they have poor sucking reflexes."
Jemma had bit the woman's head off. "It's quite common for most babies, regardless of disability, to have issues breastfeeding. My daughter is fine, do you hear me, fine. All I need is a bottle and a breast pump and for you to get the hell out of my face!"
Grant is not surprised Jemma had reacted so severely because knowing that the obstacles are already starting for their little girl is especially daunting for Jemma. She'd admitted she thought she would struggle with this. But she Jemma keeps surprising herself.
He's proud of her. That lactation woman is no doubt the first of many who will fall at the hands of Jemma Simmons-Ward, Mama Bear.
