The concept seemed so foreign to Namjoon honestly, the idea of him and Hobi dating.
He loved Hoseok sure, but...
Yoongi frowned at Namjoon's giggling.
"Well, he was always there with you at the bar, I just assumed."
"Shy," Yoongi deadpanned, legs crossed around the pillow. "Is that why you always glared at me?"
The first night, when Yoongi had appeared for the stage. Namjoon had heard of him but had never seen him, only recognised him as Agust D when he'd taken the mic and wiped the stage with them all.
Yeah, Namjoon had glared.
He'd been jealous.
Jealous because Yoongi had the small crowd roaring for him, jealous because Yoongi had been so captivating.
It had been a weird shock because Yoongi was also beautiful, and Namjoon hadn't known how to feel.
So he let it just be envy.
"I glared at you because I was threatened by you," Namjoon almost struggled to find the words, feeling himself hunch now, ashamed of himself. "You'd rock up, rap like a god, win, and then leave. You never stayed to mingle, and I hated that."
"It was like it was all beneath you, like none of us mattered, like it was just... whatever. I was angry because it meant everything to me, and you didn't seem to share that passion."
Yoongi was biting his lip, looking conflicted.
Namjoon had never considered that.
"Oh. Shit."
"Yeah. It fucking sucked."
"I just thought you were an asshole. I'm so stupid."
"It doesn't matter now," Yoongi murmured, his voice soft, but sad. "Because now we know, right? It only took two years but... now we know."
"I'm so sorry Yoongi."
"It does."
"Why?"
Namjoon felt so frustrated, wondered if he was gonna cry.
"Because it was so much time wasted, when... when we could have been friends, or e-even more. It was so much anger, and so much envy, for nothing."
"Why are you smiling like that?"
Yoongi shrugged.
"I didn't think it was a waste of time, I guess. I... I thought it was kinda fun sometimes, honestly."
Fun?
Namjoon blinked in confusion.
The flush that stained Yoongi's cheeks was so pretty, that it almost rendered Namjoon speechless.
"Like... the rival thing. You were so angry, but... you also wanted me. Maybe not how I wanted you, but, like... I knew you wanted to fuck. So it was fun."
Oh.
"You sure? You seemed to really enjoy calling me names on that stage. Bet your dick worked overtime coming up with some of those."
"Oh god, stop."
"Hey Namjoon," Yoongi asked quietly. "Did you win? When I... stopped going?"
Namjoon shook his head.
Yoongi's brows furrowed in confusion.
"Why not?"
"Because I didn't go on the stage," Namjoon let the words fall out, surprised at how easy it was to tell Yoongi all his truths. "It didn't feel right without you there, so... I couldn't do it."
Yoongi swallowed loudly.
"I ran outside and cried in the back alley," Namjoon didn't feel embarrassed admitting it, because it had really broken his heart. "And then I let Hoseok take me home, and I cried there too."
"I didn't cry because of me or because I was worried I'd never see you anymore," Namjoon had to tell Yoongi, because it was important. "I cried because I was scared you had lost your passion, and that it was my fault. I was scared that you would never rap again."
"Even if you hated me, even if you never wanted anything to do with me again, I couldn't live in a world where you weren't on the stage. It's where you belong."
He didn't expect Yoongi to crawl over though, to take his face in those pretty pale hands, to look into his eyes with understanding and determination, to kiss him softly.
Yoongi listens to your music.
He's always been your fan.
Yoongi went to that bar, to compete with Namjoon.
And Namjoon had hated him for it.
"Don't cry," Yoongi wiped away the tears, kissed him again, his voice so soft. "Joon, please don't cry."
"And I was cruel too, because we were dumb, and it's okay. It's okay now."
"You can leave it in the past," Yoongi whispered. "We can start again."
"Of course," Yoongi laughed, smiled, and Namjoon could see pretty gums when Yoongi smiled like that, and it hurt inside his chest. "We can do whatever we want. Whatever I want. Whatever you want. You can tell me what you want, Namjoon, and we can make it happen."
Yoongi was so pretty.
Namjoon asked softly.
"Can... can you call me Namjoonie?"
"I thought you didn't like that nickname," Yoongi said, with a giggle to his tone. Namjoon squeezed his waist, Yoongi gasping.
Yoongi laughed, hands back in Namjoon's hair, offering his throat for Namjoon's kisses.
It sounded so nice, the affectionate name rolling off Yoongi's tongue in that sleepy drawl, Yoongi in his lap, warm and soft, not a trace of anger between them.
"I like you."
"You like me?"
Namjoon kissed at Yoongi's jaw.
"I love you."
Between the meeting of their lips, and their breathless gasps, Namjoon could hear the rain.
That at first, for a long time, he was scared Yoongi was going to drown him, that Yoongi would wash him away, and leave nothing of Namjoon behind
Wash away his music, wash away his efforts.
Wash it all away.
It had been hard, and sad, the worst experience of Namjoon's life so far-- But Yoongi had helped him grow.
Into a person who could be honest, a person who could fight for what was important.
To grow for love.
"I like the rain," Namjoon replied, kissing Yoongi's swollen lips.
"Me too," Yoongi huffed, holding Namjoon close. "'s nice."
Yoongi sighed, legs wrapping around Namjoon's waist, kissing him again.
"Maybe it'll rain forever."
"I would like that," Namjoon left his fingers sink into Yoongi's waist, let them trail up his ribs, Yoongi sighing.
"What else would you like?"
"Shit," Yoongi hissed, voice cracking, pulling tight into Namjoon's shirt. "Can... Joonie, c-can we....?"
Oh, shit.
Namjoon swallowed loudly.
"Are... are you sure?"
"Only if you wanna."
"I wanna," Namjoon hadn't even considered the idea that this could have happened today, even knowing Yoongi was coming to his home. "But..."
"But I wanted our first time to be nicer than my room," Namjoon laughed a little, feeling bad, feeling suddenly shy. "Y'know?"
"Uh, we've already had our first time."
"I've opted to erase that from my memory."
"Well, I haven't."
Namjoon pouted.
"Also, I like your room. I like it a lot."
Namjoon ducked his face into Yoongi's hands.
"You do?"
"Never."
"And... if I do wanna do it?"
"Then we can do it."
Namjoon pondered a moment, still pouting.
"Are you sure this is fancy enough for you?"
Yoongi rolled his eyes.
"We can always go back to mine if you want."
"I thought you might think that."
When Yoongi spun Namjoon, pressing him into the mattress now, straddling Namjoon's hips, he checked again with a gentle kiss, Namjoon gasping into it softly.
"You sure?"
"Yes," Namjoon replied. "If you're sure."
"Okay."
"Namjoonie," Yoongi breathed against his lips, brows pulled in concern, looking so serious. "This is not going to be like last time, unless you're not telling me the truth. If you're not sure, you need to tell me."
It was the words he needed to hear.
It was all he needed to hear, to take control, to grip Yoongi's hips and pull them flush.
"Then give it to me."
Namjoon kissed Yoongi with everything he had.
Tongue and slick lips, deep groans, Yoongi mewling in his arms.
"That was just a bonus."
"Mm."
Namjoon choked on his words as Yoongi's hand drifted downwards, stroking at his dick, licking his doll lips, gleaming in the light from Namjoon's bedside lamp.
Namjoon didn't even remember his own name right now, Yoongi pretty in his lap, touching his cock.
"Maybe we can shop together," Yoongi kissed down his throat, blooming red in his wake. "You can pick something out for me."
Namjoon needed Yoongi to stop talking, before he came in Yoongi's hand.
Yoongi let out a startled whine as Namjoon flipped him again, back into the sheets, kissing him hard, ripping Yoongi's briefs down pale thighs.
"Gross."
"Shut up Yoongi."
Yoongi's laugher was cut short by Namjoon's hand wrapping around his cock, Namjoon finally seeing it properly for the first time, cute and pink and leaking.
Namjoon wanted their foreplay to last forever, but he knew tonight at least, that that was an impossible wish.
They'd waited so long for each other.
Too long.
"I don't think so."
"Why?" Yoongi sounded offended, gasping, brows furrowed.
"Because you did a shit job last time, and I'm not letting it happen again."
Yoongi pouted.
"It was pretty bad."
Yoongi decided not to argue.
"... FINE, just... h-hurry, I want it--"
Namjoon wasn't sure he was gonna make it through fingering Yoongi open, if he was honest.
Thighs spread wide, shirt rucked up to his chest-- he looked unreal.
Namjoon never thought he'd be able to have Yoongi like this, never thought Yoongi would be his.
He was gentle though, so gentle, kissing at Yoongi's soft tummy as he stroked at Yoongi's hole, Yoongi making pretty sounds, whines and deep gasps, hips jumping from the sheets.
Another finger slipped inside as Namjoon felt Yoongi's lips fall wide against his own, as he licked into Yoongi's mouth, as Yoongi fell apart.
"Namjoonie, please," Yoongi was so pretty, so perfect, Namjoon so in love. "P-please--"
"You won't," Yoongi begged, nails sinking into Namjoon's shoulders from over his shirt, arching up into Namjoon's chest. "I'm ready, I promise, I p-promise--"
When he pushed himself into Yoongi, he grit his teeth with a groan.
"Virgin," Yoongi half laughed, half whined, trying to hard to force every inch of Namjoon inside.
"Yoongi, s-shut up--"
Namjoon survived it, as Yoongi took it all happily.
Namjoon was struggling to catch his breath.
"Y'know... you're the first person to ever deepthroat me."
Yoongi laughed.
"Well, that explains a lot."
"Sorry. Can you move yet?"
"Mm," Namjoon didn't want this over so soon, but his cock was twitching, and it took all his willpower to keep his hips from slamming down into Yoongi as hard as possible. "Soon."
Yoongi pouted.
"Now. Please?"
"Alright."
He was slow with his thrusts through, and kissed Yoongi before the smaller man could complain about it, kissing him gently, hands on his waist, holding him still to rock into.
Yoongi was mewling.
Now it felt like love-making, with Yoongi calling for him, with Yoongi holding him close, with Yoongi taking him by the face to kiss.
Yoongi came like that, Namjoonie on his lips, panting wildly as it splattered between their chests, Namjoon chasing pleasure too.
It was still raining outside.
"Lay with me, just for a bit longer."
"Okay."
Yoongi curled into his chest, so small like this, so pale and beautiful, and Namjoon kissed his dark roots, Yoongi smiling.
Namjoon smiled back, took Yoongi's hands to his lips, and kissed them too.
"This is the nicest day I've ever had."
"Me too," Yoongi sounded to sleepy now, looked so tired. "I mean, apart from getting fired."
"They didn't deserve you anyways."
"Yeah."
Yoongi looked at Namjoon with impossibly wide eyes.
"Only if you want me here."
"Of course I do."
"Okay."
Yoongi was asleep within moments, so Namjoon cleaned him gently, tucked him beneath the covers, and made his way to his desk.
1. Pancakes
2. The freckle on Yoongi's cheek.
3. Rain
It was still raining, when Namjoon crawled back into bed, still raining when Yoongi wriggled closer.
The rain had stopped when Namjoon woke up though, the sun shining through the window, casting everything in gold.
But something was wrong.
Yoongi was gone.
He called out for Yoongi loudly, wondering if he was in the kitchen, the bathroom, anywhere inside the small flat.
No reply.
Oh god.
Did Yoongi run again??
Fuck, did Yoongi leave??
Oh.
Yoongi.
A written reminder, the words there so plain to see in black pen on ruled lines
I love you.
Love you.
Be back soon, because I love you.
Namjoon's phone buzzed.
It must have been set on silent by accident.
Shit.
When Namjoon called, he pulled the sheets up over his bare chest, like he was embarrassed. Hoseok answered almost immediately.
"NAMJOON I'VE BEEN SO WORRIED ARE YOU OKAY!?"
"Jesus, I nearly came around with an axe to beat down your fucking door."
"I'm really glad you didn't, I can't afford a new door."
"I'd pay for it, of course."
"Of course."
Hoseok cleared his throat.
"Are you okay, though?"
"I'm okay. I... I found Yoongi. And we're okay."
"Like... you got to talk?"
Namjoon swallowed loudly.
"Yeah. So, it's all alright now. Except Yoongi lost his job."
"What??"
"But it's okay!"
"It's a long story, but I'll tell you later."
"What, you too busy to tell me now?"
Namjoon could hear footsteps on the stairs up to his flat.
Hoseok paused again.
"Oh my god, is he with you right now?"
Namjoon could hear the footsteps getting closer, making their way towards his door.
"K-kinda."
"Will do."
Hoseok hung up, Namjoon put his phone aside with the note, and when he heard the rattle of keys, watched the door open, his breath hitched.
Wanted to kiss him until neither of them could breathe.
It was cruel, how Yoongi looked, in Namjoon's giant hoodie, the hem hanging to his knees. It was cruel.
Yoongi made a surprised noise, when Namjoon tore away the bedsheets, when Namjoon made his way to Yoongi fast and kissed him hard, cupping his face, tasting like sleep and sunshine, Yoongi gasping against his lips.
"Put em on the floor," Namjoon groaned, brushing his nose against Yoongi's, whining like he was being neglected. "Wanna kiss you--"
"Put it on the floor gently?"
Yoongi laughed.
"Okay."
He loved Yoongi in every shade that Yoongi came in, pastels or shadows or coloured in Namjoon's giant clothes.
He loved him.
This was like the times in the bar, in the back rooms, fierce, hot, aggressive.
"Namjoonie, did you miss me or something?"
Namjoon squeezed at Yoongi's ass, and Yoongi sighed so perfectly.
"Maybe."
"You said pancakes," Namjoon kissed at his throat, Yoongi tilting his head back against the door. "On your note."
"I'm not."
Yoongi smiled softly, and let Namjoon suck red down to his collarbones, exposed from where the giant hoodie was starting to unzip.
"You're making me pancakes."
"I am. Will. After."
"After?"
Namjoon groaned.
Sounded like heaven.
It was so easy to carry Yoongi to the bed, to topple down into his sheets with Yoongi pressed beneath him, unzipping Yoongi from his clothes, seeing the remains of last nights lovemaking on his skin.
"Take these off," Yoongi was panting, and Namjoon loved how fast the smaller man got overwhelmed and needy, love quickly he showed his desperation as he tugged at Namjoon's briefs. "Joonie--"
Namjoon kissed him, and slipped them away.
It was time to get some payback.
Yoongi sobbed, writhing.
"Maybe I'll time you," Namjoon said with a grin as he pulled away, lips wet, quirking a brow. "See how long you last. Rap about it."
Namjoon scoffed, and squeezed at Yoongi's balls as Yoongi mewled.
"I dunno, didn't really seem like self defense in my opinion."
"You spat in my hand."
Yoongi grinned.
"I wanted to see how you'd react."
Namjoon briefly recalled how his brain had just shutdown from it, and wondered if that was the reaction Yoongi wanted.
"It was gross."
"I thought it was hot."
"It was hot. I think I jerked off over it."
"That's weird."
"Yep."
Namjoon took Yoongi back into his mouth as Yoongi groaned, worked his tongue against the underside of Yoongi's cock, and slipped his fingers between creamy thighs, teasing at Yoongi's hole.
"'s fine."
"You won't be able to taste your pancakes properly."
Namjoon pulled away, spit strung from his lips to the head of Yoongi's wet dick.
"Oh god, you're right."
"Get the lube."
His ass was so perky and smooth, and the light was casting it all in shadow, every curve, the dip of his spine, the dimples on his lower back, and Namjoon wanted to bite it all.
He settled for a gentle slap.
"You can go harder if you want."
God.
Namjoon swallowed loudly.
"Don't say things like that, I'm barely holding on."
Yoongi giggled.
That warranted a slap.
Yoongi gasped from it, and then squirmed when Namjoon squeezed lube into the crease of his ass, straddling his thighs, pressing his fingers into the wetness as Yoongi quickly fell apart beneath him.
"Poor Yoongi," Namjoon teased.
"Whatever."
Yoongi was still stretched from last night, able to take three fingers with ease, and when Namjoon felt content with that, he aligned himself, and pushed inside.
Fucking Yoongi from behind was easier too, Yoongi so small and light, Namjoon's hands pulling him back by the hips hard, Yoongi sobbing.
Namjoon kept his pace, harsh and fast but even with his thrusts, trailing a hand around to stroke Yoongi between the legs, precum spilling through his fingers.
Yoongi came.
Namjoon wished he had timed it.
It was too late to think about that as he felt his own orgasm approaching too though, pressing Yoongi down, groaning.
Yoongi was still purring with content.
Namjoon lay with Yoongi, side-by-side, warm in the light, kissing gently.
Like real lovers.
Like boyfriends.
Namjoon's toes curled.
Yoongi smiled, eyes closed, humming against Namjoon's lips.
"You just want pancakes every day."
He wanted to wake up to Yoongi's kisses, every day, forever and ever.
"You're so cute, Namjoon. I love you."
"Love you."
"Love youuu."
Pancakes could wait a little longer.
Namjoon had drooled on his pillow.
He was met with bare thighs, his favourite sleep shirt, koala slippers. Yoongi hummed.
"You can go back to bed," Yoongi murmured, stirring the coffee. "I'll wake you for it soon."
"Okay. What do you like on your pancakes?"
Pancakes.
Namjoon squeezed Yoongi tighter.
"I'll like anything you put on them."
Yoongi giggled.
"Alright."
"Wanna get me some plates?"
Namjoon groaned.
"Yep, just gotta dish it up."
"I'm so excited."
"You better be," Yoongi was turning in his arms, spatula in hand. "Expensive maple syrup."
"I'll drink it from the bottle."
"You'll die, Namjoonie."
"Mm."
"Oh, a table."
"Where did you think we were gonna sit?"
Yoongi shrugged, his hair a fluffy mess, placing the mugs on the desktop.
"I dunno. The floor?"
"Eww."
"I guess."
There was cream and marshmallows in the mug. Yum.
The pancakes looked incredible.
"What are these?"
"Pancakes?"
Namjoon poked one.
"They're so... big?"
Namjoon choked on his spit as Yoongi laughed.
"They're Japanese pancakes," Yoongi continued to explain, placing down a plate of crispy bacon, a bowl of bananas and berries, glass bottle maple syrup. "Like, super fluffy ones. You'll like them."
Namjoon copied him, and then Yoongi pointed at his mug.
Now he had to like it, no matter what.
He didn't even mixed in the cream, just swallowed back as much as possible, feeling the cream stick to his nose.
What the fuck.
"What did you put in this??" Namjoon was drooling again, the warm drink sitting in his tummy, leaving behind an aftertaste of coffee, balanced out with a sharp hint of salted caramel. "Jesus Christ, this is amazing."
Yoongi looked so pleased.
"Yes," Namjoon felt euphoric, closing his eyes, wondering if this was heaven. "Wow."
Yoongi rattled it off, the mixing of different coffees he'd found in Namjoon's cupboards, the caramel flavouring that had been on sale at the store.
Namjoon had a thought.
Yoongi was a cute eater, Namjoon had decided, swallowing down his own delicious fluffy pancakes, eyes trained on the smaller rapper. Yoongi's cheeks puffed out, his lips got all shiny and pouty, and Namjoon wanted to coo.
"The best," Namjoon wondered if he still had cream on his face, if there was syrup on his mouth. "I'll have to keep you forever."
"Oh?"
"You heard me."
Yoongi's eyes creased, mouth full.
"You're weird, Namjoonie."
"Mm."
"I think I made too much."
"We're going to explode."
"Worth it though."
Yoongi curled up to Namjoon's side, tilted his face up, doll lips pouty.
"Was it really tasty? It's been a long time since I could cook, so, you don't have to lie if it was bad."
Namjoon kissed Yoongi softly.
"You're dumb," Yoongi teased back, eyelashed fluttering to kiss at his cheeks, wriggling closer to Namjoon, bare thighs brushing against his own. "Dumb Namjoonie."
"Shh."
"You shh."
"I wanna do it again," Yoongi whined, wriggling in his arms. "But I ate too much. I'll pop if anything else goes in me."
"Because it's true!"
"Still, eww."
Yoongi laughed, curling into Namjoon's side.
"Might have to food coma today. Unless you have things to do?"
"Nope," Namjoon mumbled. "I'm off work at the moment. So, super free."
"To be fair, there wasn't really any chances for us to ask each other things."
"True."
Namjoon decided to bring up his idea now, before it was lost forever.
"Ah, that sounds nice."
When Yoongi opened his eyes, tears glittered on his waterlines.
"Of course. I know they need another barista in Hoseok's cafe, and... that drink you made me was REALLY fucking good. I think you'd really suit it. And the aprons are cute."
Yoongi smirked a little.
"Aprons huh?"
"You sure do like your outfits, don't you? Are the aprons lacey too?"
Namjoon slammed his eyes shut.
Naked Yoongi in a lacey white apron.
Cooking pancakes for him.
His body tried to react, but he was too full.
Damn it.
"Shame," Yoongi purred, rubbing his thighs to Namjoon's. "I have a feeling you'd like that."
"Don't tease me."
"It's too easy though."
Then Yoongi was looking a little weird again, eyes narrowed, watching Namjoon.
"Hobi is a really great person," Namjoon promised, cupping Yoongi's face. "Once we go and see them, and explain it all and stuff, he won't be so... cold?"
Yoongi froze a little.
"Them?"
Yoongi still needed to contact Seokjin.
Shit.
Yoongi looked terrified.
"You need to call Jin hyung," Namjoon said it softly, gently, tried to be reassuring and calm, even though his heart had started to race. "He's been so worried. They all have. WE all have. Even Hobi."
Yoongi still looked terrified.
Yoongi winced.
"I know," he mumbled, under his breath, tucking himself into Namjoon's bare chest. "I know. They're.... they're gonna be so angry with me."
"They love you," Namjoon said, over and over. "They love you so much, and they'll be so happy to know you're alright. They love you."
The divide between Yoongi's worlds was crumbling again, and Namjoon had to say it would be okay.
Don't be scared.
"But the rapping is so weird," Yoongi tried to argue, brows furrowing. "They might not understand it."
"I guess..."
"And I know for a fact that Jungkook thinks its cool, so, that's one person at least!"
Yoongi paused again.
Oops.
Namjoon grinned sheepishly.
Yoongi jolted upright on the bed.
"Wait, how the fuck does Jungkook know??"
Shit.
"Uhhh," Namjoon wasn't sure how to explain. "He... asked me if I was RM? And I guess he found out about you from that?"
Yoongi's eyes were wide.
Oh.
OH.
Namjoon grinned, a hand coming to Yoongi's ankle, dragging him closer.
"You mean, did Jungkook tell me that you're actually my biggest fan, and locked yourself away in Seokjin's bathroom to listen to my music when it dropped?"
But it was, apparently.
"That little shit! I'm gonna drown him in the pool!"
The embarrassment was obvious in every limb, like Yoongi was cringing hard, body and soul.
Namjoon sat and scooped him within his arms.
"You shut the fuck up. This is so humiliating. Fucking Jungkook, I'm gonna murder him."
"He's kinda tank, I dunno if you'd win."
Yoongi growled.
"My wrath has no boundaries."
Yoongi whined.
"God, I'm such an asshole. It really has been weeks."
"Yep. It's been a long time."
"I suck."
"Only a little."
Yoongi whined louder.
"Jin's gonna kill me."
Yoongi pouted, and he looked so cute.
"I guess I should. But I turned my phone off and put it under my mattress back home, so I'd have to go get it."
"That place is NOT your home," Namjoon wrinkled his nose. "We can just call Hobi."
"Hoseok doesn't have the capacity for hate in his tiny body," Namjoon rolled his eyes. "He doesn't hate you."
Yoongi scoffed.
"I'm tinier than Hoseok, and I can store a lot of hate."
"Are you being jealous again?"
"No.... maybe."
"Hmm."
"You're being a dumbass."
"I want a love heart mouth."
"Shh. Let's just call, yeah?"
"Fineeee."
"Joonie? You alright?"
"Yeah, I'm okay. Hey... are you with Seokjin right now, by any chance?"
Hoseok sounded a little breathless.
Ah, no.
"He's over, y-yeah, why?"
Oops.
Yoongi's nose wrinkled, hearing the conversation while in Namjoon's lap.
"Yeah, did you wanna come around?"
That might work.
Yoongi was chewing his lip nervously.
"Is that okay? I'm... I'm with Yoongi, so I thought--"
"Oh my god, yes, come over, like, whenever you want. We'll be home all day."
"OKAY, BYE," Namjoon hung up immediately, screwing his eyes shut, tossing his phone across the bed like it was contaminated.
Namjoon needed brain bleach immediately.
"So, we're gonna go to Hoseok's flat. Seokjin's... there. But, we're gonna give it like an hour, just to be safe."
"Eww, did we interrupt them?"
"Yep."
"EW."
"YEP."
feel free to say things here if you wanna!
