It was so hot out.

Florida in the summer is always a bad idea, especially during July, but today it seems is even worse. The humidity has his t-shirt sticking to his skin uncomfortably. His hair is matting to his forehead.

He needs a haircut.

Taehyung sighs, looking back down at the map. Universal is absolutely bustling today, the Harry Potter themed world even more popular as the line for a butterbeer lengthens, the shops for chocolate frogs and Gryffindor apparel surrounding the —

— cobblestoned street.

The boy next to him groans. “I want to shove myself into a freezer with ice cubes shoved up my ass. It’s that hot.”

Taehyung rolls his eyes, shoving the map back into his backpack. “That literally sounds so fucking painful, and we’re both gay. Stop being overdramatic, Jimin. It’s, like, only 90 degrees.”

The blonde-haired elder turns to him and glares, his tiny hands turning into even smaller fists. “You’re literally on the verge of sweating through your Slytherin shirt, Mr. I-grew-up-in-Arizona. If anything I’m being under-dramatic, whore.”

Walking off, the younger replies, “Fuck off, shortie. There’s no humidity in Arizona. This is five times worse.”

Jimin scurries after him, running slightly to catch up. “Where are we going next?” he presses, a smile breaking through on his face. It looks like his earlier complaining is already forgotten once he sees Taehyung marching determinedly off.

“Dragon Challenge,” Taehyung replies, starting his trek up the hill where the ride awaits. He looks at the blonde boy next to him and winks, grinning. The line in front of them could be longer, but Jimin and Taehyung came to the park today understanding —

— that they’d have to wait in lines a lot. They’re both patient, it’s not a bother to them.

This isn’t their first time in Harry Potter world — they went right before they started college together two years ago, but it’s been long enough that Taehyung still needs to use a map to get around.

He loves the atmosphere of the place— all the employees dressed in character, their long robes identical to the ones in the movie, the cobblestone pathways and the shops lined against them to mimic Diagon Alley. He read the books first when he was in middle school, and —

— he found solace in the magic world full of charms and flying brooms.

Now he’s a sophomore in college and he’s back home, except he’s dragged his roommate Jimin with him. He’s also out of the closet and Jimin just so happens to be, too.

Their friendship is a bit unconventional but they wouldn’t want it any other way.

They’re in line for about ten minutes before they start bickering loudly again.

The children and their parents around them look at the boys suspiciously as they argue, but at least the two manage to keep the cursing down to a minimum.

“How the hell did you qualify for Gryffindor?” Taehyung asks. “You radiate Hufflepuff energy.”

Jimin frowns. “Slytherin isn’t much of a surprise, you ugly snake.”

“Not all Slytherins are bad!”

“Did I fucking say that? I literally only called you an ugly snake.”

“You implied that all Slytherins are ugly snakes which is /false/. Draco would have been good if he had been raised the right way, and even then he still helped Harry out in the end. Hop off my dick.”

Jimin groans. “Tae, there are children surrounding us. Like, seriously, look around.” He motions to the girl right in front of him who looked about twelve, staring at them shamelessly. Her parents were too busy talking on their cell phones to notice.

“What’s a dick?” she asks suddenly in a soft voice, her eyes wide and looking up at Taehyung.

Taehyung bites his lip. “Shit. Um...” He crouches down so he’s at eye level with the girl. “How old are you?”

“I’m 11 tomorrow.”

“Aw, happy early birthday!” Jimin exclaims behind Tae.

Taehyung whacks Jimin’s thigh. He whimpers slightly but Taehyung’s attention has already turned back to the girl.

“A dick is kind of, like, an animal,” he explains, making something up as he goes. “It can be any animal, though. Like a horse. A mean horse.”

The girl nods. “Can I ride dicks, then?”

Jimin starts choking on his laughter behind Taehyung.

Taehyung has to press his lips together to hold in his own laugh as well. He didn’t think this through.

“Sure, yeah. You can... ride dicks. When you’re older, though,” he adds. “Like, it’s something only older people do.”

“Like adults?”

Taehyung nods. “Yes, exactly!”

The girl nods along with him. “Does everyone do it?”

Fuck. “Um, some people can and some people can’t. It depends on what they like.”

“Is it fun?”

Taehyung wants to slap himself in the face as Jimin starts choking behind him again.

“Sometimes,” Taehyung replies hesitantly.

“I want to try it when I’m older,” the girl shares, looking excited at the prospect of, well, of riding dick.

If Taehyung wasn’t going to hell before, he certainly is now.

“Just remember to ask permission,” Taehyung says, standing up.

“Okay!” the girl says.

The line moves, and the girl’s father turns around to grab her hand and pull her forward.

“Sorry if she bothered you,” he apologizes. “She’s a talker.”

“No worries,” Jimin responds, a smile still plastered on his face.

They move forward in line and the girl is handed a phone, capturing her attention.

Jimin digs his face into Taehyung’s shoulder to support himself, still giggling. “Oh my god,” he wheezes. “You’re going to hell.”

Taehyung rolls his eyes. “We been knew.”

Little do they know, the group of boys around their age behind them are laughing into their shirts. They had overheard the entire conversation but stayed quiet enough as to not attract attention.

One of them, a tall, sandy brown-haired kid, whispers, “I can’t believe the idiot actually compared a dick to a horse.”

Another responds, “Why a horse?”

The youngest of them all, Jungkook, can only grin in amusement.

“Don’t be mean, Joonie-hyung,” Jungkook scolds playfully, slapping the older on the bicep. “He was just trying to cover it up.”

The boy, Namjoon, only rolls his eyes. “He could have said it was another word for mouth or something, Guk. A fucking horse?”

The third boy, Hoseok, laughs loudly. “Seriously. She asked if she could ride one. At least we know she isn’t into girls.”

Namjoon frowns. “She could be into both. Don’t assume,” he adds, hissing.

Hoseok quickly apologizes. “Sorry. Guk is only defending him ‘cause he’s cute.”

Jungkook is flustered. “Uh, no.”

Namjoon stares at him blankly. “Uh, yes,” he mimics.

“I mean, yeah, he’s cute, and seems hilarious, but he’s a stranger. I don’t like him.”

“We didn’t say you liked him, dumbass,” Hoseok remarks.

“You should say something to him,” Namjoon suggests.

Jungkook shakes his head vehemently. “No, nope. He’s a Slytherin, I’m a Gryffindor. We aren’t compatible.”

Hoseok sniffs. “Draco and Harry were perfectly compatible, J.K. Rowling was just homophobic.”

Namjoon nods. “What does it matter? He seems outgoing enough for the two of you. He could be a great guy.”

Jungkook bites his lip. “I’m nervous.
What if he doesn’t like guys? What if I say something stupid?”

Hoseok pats his shoulder affectionately. “Want me to come with?”

The line moves forward again and the three boys, along with the two loud ones in front of them, shuffle along accordingly. Jungkook trips, though (maybe over Hoseok’s foot) and lands straight into the surprises arms of Taehyung.

Oh for fuck’s sake, Jungkook thinks in dread.

“I-I am so sorry, really, sorry,” Jungkook stutters as he jumps away from Taehyung, who is still standing there in surprise.

They make eye contact and Taehyung smiles brightly. “Don’t worry about it. Jimin is clumsy, too,” he says, motioning to the blonde boy next to him.

Jimin glares at Taehyung. “That was so fucking unnecessary. Almost as much as Johnny Depp’s involvement with the Fantastic Creatures series.”

“Ah, so you’re not a dumbass when it comes to that topic then,” Namjoon butts in, stepping forward to acknowledge the cute blonde.

Jimin rolls his eyes. “Definitely not. The hell was she thinking?”

Taehyung slaps Jimin’s stomach. “Shut up. I’m trying to talk to the cute boy in front of me.” He turns back to Jungkook, looking confident. “I’m Taehyung, and this is my best friend, Jimin.”

Jungkook begins to grin. “I’m Jungkook. This is Namjoon-hyung and Hoseok-hyung.”

Jimin turns on Taehyung so fast Jungkook is surprised he doesn’t get whiplash. “/He/ uses honorifics! Why don’t you?”

Taehyung ignores him. “Jungkook, you said?”

“Yeah,” the younger replies.
