Shocked, surprised, astonished and every other adjective of that kind was not enough to describe how Jimin was feeling at that moment. While Yoongi was kissing him he felt like someone must have electroshocked him because for the first few minutes he was unable to move or process anything.
After a second or two his reddish, from the cold, fingertips pushed his chest ending their unexpected kiss. Jimin looked at him with wide eyes, panting and he instinctively touched his lips. They were swollen and moist. They really had just kissed.
“Why did you do that?” He asked him.
“I kinda wanted to. I don’t want to give up on you” Yoongi said and scratched the back of his head, messing his dark hair.
“Yoongi, listen to me. Just because I want to be civil it does not mean I want to get back with you. I have someone. I am with him for almost a millennia.” Jimin tried to explain to him. He didn’t know why his kindness had given him the wrong idea but maybe now it would be for the best to punch him.
“Maybe one day when we meet again. When I am better I could change your mind.” Yoongi said his grey eyes shining with hope and Jimin let out a sigh. He never believed things would end up this way. Never.
“I don’t think it’s possible for you to change my mind and we will not meet again for a long time.”
“My instinct tells me you’re wrong. We will meet again.” Yoongi said with a grin and grabbed his bag from the snowy floor. He shook it slightly so the flakes would fall down and brought it over his shoulder. “So until we meet again, goodbye. I enjoyed our kiss Elf King” Yoongi said with a bow and Jimin signaled him with this hand to go away.
He couldn’t help but laugh at the whole situation. Before something like that would have made him flustered and confused. Divided him into two and unaware of what the right answer was but now, while he was walking on the white path back to the palace, listening to the sound of the snow beneath his feet with every step he took his mind couldn’t be clearer. It was just a kiss nothing more. All he felt was surprise and even if he met Yoongi again he couldn’t more sure that he wouldn’t be swayed. After all he had been fine with the same person for a long time. Jeongguk wasn’t someone you could compete with so easily. He thought and smiled to himself while wrapping his arms around his body to produce some warmth.
The moment he stepped inside though the chill was far greater than outside. Without having seen him Jimin could feel his intense stare at the back of his brunet head and it was as cold as thin ice.
He slowly turned around with a big smile and waved at him shyly before he sprinted into the hallway trying to get away. The shiny floors were slippery and the maids looked at him filled with confusion as he barely made the first turn without falling down. He was panting and looking around, thinking where he should hide but it was pointless. The second he decided to stop just to take a breather, grabbing one of the heavy light blue curtains for support he had teleported right in front of him with a veil of darkness as his companion.
“Babe what a coincidence. What brings you here?”Jimin asked him and laughed dryly but Jeongguk didn’t seem to enjoy this game. His shadows form many small arrows and in an instant he was shooting them at him.
“The punishment for cheating is death!” Jeongguk shouted and the sharp knives kept coming at him like an endless storm.
“Wait. I can explain. Really!”Jimin tried to explain himself while at the same time dodging the incoming fire. He would take short steps, everyone approaching him more and more, hoping he could get to him before he got stabbed by one of these shadow weapons.
“I don’t want to hear your excuses cheater! You come back and the first thing you do is cheat on me? Nice! Very good sir. This is why I didn’t want you talking to that jerk. Once I kill you I will find him too.” Jeongguk said and his violet eyes were squeezed filled with annoyance as he was watching Jimin gamble with his life.
The elf king leaped foreword hoping that the general would not stop him and he fell on top of Jeongguk making them both fall down. At the last moment Jimin managed to place his palm at the back of Jeongguk’ head so he wouldn’t hit it on the floor.
“Listen to me my starry sky” Jimin told him sweetly and Jeongguk scoffed.
“Don’t call me that. Cheater, betrayer. You elf succubus.” He said with no intention of stopping until Jimin placed his palm on his lips silencing him.
“You know he kissed me. He caught me by surprise and said he wanted to like you know ho after me one day but I, like the proper boyfriend I am I said no. Why would I ever say yes to him or do anything with him when I have you.” Jimin said and removed his palm.
“Never see him again. Forget his name. Forget his face. Forget he even existed.” Jeongguk told him and his jaw was tensed. He wasn’t joking about this, he had really been hurt. He couldn’t lie about how threatened he felt. Jimin when he was still human was in love with him, they were mates United with a bond so yes, he went insane even at the sound of his name. He was scared that he would take him away and he would be left alone again, tortured of having to see him with someone else. It had happened once already. Way back and he knew the pain. Back then it took him too long to realize what he should do, not let his love leave and face the truth bit now, he still felt that fear and it was bone breaking. The insecurity of not being good enough, the thirst of wanting someone to need you and the nightmare of them turning their back to you.
“Agreed”Jimin said with a wide smile and snuggled at the crook of his neck. “I am sorry. I really was shocked though.” He explained and felt Jeongguk’ arms surround his lean waist. The white haired man let out a prolonged sigh.
“You are all I have. I can’t lose you. Not like that time.”
“What time?”Jimin asked him as he raised his face to meet his eyes. Jeongguk kissed his forehead as he reminded himself that not all of his memories had returned. There were still many hurtful, joyful and teary stories for Jimin to remember so he could understand why the mad shadowcatser was who he was and how his fears had deep roots surrounding his heart and mind. He had to fight with them everyday to keep himself in check and some times it was really hard.
“Get up. Let’s go to our room” Jeongguk told him and Jimin unwillingly left the warmth of his embrace to stand now alone. Jeongguk took his hand and kissed it with care before he took it in his and they started walking. “It is one of the saddest stories of my life actually. It always reminds me how stupid I can be. Cowardly.” He told him and Jimin would have lied if he said that the general hadn’t peeked his interest. The look he had in his face already signaled that he was lost in his own haunting thoughts and the king squeezed his hand wanting to bring him back. He was here, next to him. Nothing bad would have happened. He would make sure of it. No matter what.
“Do you want to tell me the story?”Jimin asked Jeongguk as he opened the room to the bedroom they now shared. It was Jeongguk bedroom but now they had brought in all of Jimin’ old stuff. Clothes, diadems and crowns. His weapons and jewelry. Jeongguk had kept everything intact and made sure to bring them back there like not a day had passed. Like he was never gone.
“I don’t know. I am still scared that something like this will happen again.” The man said as he sat in one of the armchairs in the room and took his heavy black boots off.
“I want to know.”Jimin said “What is it that troubles you. Tell me this story so I can understand. I want to understand everything about you. Know you wholy again. I am sorry that my mind is still hazy but I know one thing. Everything that concerns you. Scares you and saddens you, I will destroy it” he confessed and gently kissed his lips, the general smiling into their intimate moment.
“So you want to hear about the time your mother tried to force you to get married to someone else?”
“What? How…”Jimin said and his mouth hanged open. In all of his memories his mother seemed to be very supportive of their relationship so why would she ever do anything like that? “And you actually said yes” Jeongguk revealed and Jimin almost flinched. That was impossible.
“Tell me everything” he demanded.
