What's on Your Mind?

When the boys made their way back inside their apartment it was dark and hot. Four of the seven had stripped off their jackets and hoodies before they had even entered their apartment complex but by far Yoongi was the worst. After dinner the members had gotten drinks with their managers as a small celebration and it had slightly gotten over board. Yoongi's boredom had led him to sit in a corner and downed many bottles of soju resulting in increasing his volume from mute to 1000. The boys found it hilarious and were excited to see how he led the rest of the night. Yoongi had unconsciously glued himself to Taehyung and Jimin, using their arms for support as he babbled on about how he loved all the members very much and how he appreciated them.

Hoseok had also gotten pretty drunk and had ended up hitching a piggy back ride on Namjoon's back. Jungkook and Seokjin observed from the back as they bickered about who could make Army's swoon more. Their debate had started long before anyone had gotten drunk though. Yoongi found himself stumbling into Jimin and Taehyung's room with them and threw himself on Jimin's bed. "Tae, take him to bed please. I can't even deal with him right now. Especially as he keeps telling me how much he doesn't really mean it when he picks on me. It's starting to get irritating." Jimin sassed as he picked up a set of new pyjamas and headed for the bathroom. Yoongi pretended to not hear the younger's complaint, mumbling to himself as Taehyung, the least drunk member, began to pull his hyung up and out of the room.

They stumbled into Yoongi's room trying to keep quiet. Taehyung flicked on the side light, "Hyung, you need to get ready for bed." Yoongi was already half dressed though. He had been padding around in joggers and a vest because he'd gotten very hot throughout the night and tossed items of clothing to his members. Taehyung was used to his hyung's odd mannerisms while drunk. But Yoongi was acting slightly weirder than his normal drunk self. All he knew was that Yoongi was going to regret this in the morning and he'd have all the memories to recall and tease him with. Yoongi made no move towards his desk, where his pyjamas lay on the chair, as he lay down on the floor staring at the ceiling giggling to himself, so Taehyung took initiative.

He sat cross legged on the floor beside Yoongi and tried to sit him up. "Come on Yoongi hyung, work with me here." He grunted trying to get the older to pull his vest off. "The quicker you change the quicker you can go to sleep." Yoongi silently complied. Taehyung didn't know where else to look other than Yoongi's face once the vest was off and the shirt was transferred from one to another. The bare chest and close proximity caused a charged atmosphere between the two. Once Yoongi pulled his shirt on he made eye contact with Taehyung. The two stared at one another for what felt like forever. Suddenly, Yoongi brought a hand up to brush some hair out of Taehyung's face, tucking it behind his ear. It was so quiet in the room that they could hear the member's whispers as they got ready for the night.

"You're very handsome." Yoongi said. His hand lingered around the younger's face and brushed his cheek, making him close his eyes. "And so pretty. I love looking at you." Taehyung felt his face flush. Although his hyung had been complimenting him throughout the night, he had been saying nice things to all the members, and it was nothing they hadn't heard from him before. But this felt a little too intimate. "I wish I could see it every morning when I wake up." Yoongi whispered, his fingers dancing across Taehyung's jaw and then back up to slightly squish his cheeks between his fingers. "Look at me Tae." His voice still whispered but held more authority to it. It made Taehyung's eyes flash open and ears burn.

"Yoongi hyung, you need to go to sleep now. Let me get you something to drink." Upon hearing this Yoongi sprung up and marched over to his wardrobe where he, after some digging, pulled out a half empty bottle of rum, similar to the one in his Genius Lab. "Here. Something to drink." He declared, a little too loud. The atmosphere of moments ago disappearing into nothing. Taehyung sprung to his feet and reached for the bottle in his hyung's hands mid swig. "Ya! Who said I was going to share?" He slurred, reaching out with grabby hands for the bottle but making no actual effort to get it back. Taehyung sighed, screwing the cap on and putting it on a tall shelf in the wardrobe and closed it before reaching for the discarded pyjama shorts on the floor and tossing them to Yoongi. Yoongi just watched them fall to the ground rolling his eyes, "I'm too hot for shorts." And so he pulled down his joggers and reached for the quilt, crawling into bed.

Taehyung stared at his hyung in disbelief. So dramatic! "Alright, goodnight hyung. Sleep well." Taehyung said, rubbing his forehead stifling a yawn. Suddenly, Yoongi made a small noise which caused Taehyung to freeze. It sounded like a small whimper, the beginning of crying, the sound heard from a tiny animal. Never in one million years would he imagine hearing his hyung make a noise like that. And he had heard some of the weirdest shit come out of the elder's mouth. "What's wrong?" Taehyung whispered, creeping closer to the bed. "Don't leave me alone please." Yoongi said, a very audible wobble in his voice. Taehyung crawled onto the side of the bed and looked at his hyung who looked as miserable as he sounded.

What on earth? Did his ears and eyes deceive him? What could have possibly caused this? Taehyung stared at his hyung with wide eyes.
