Jungkook's hands rested on Taehyung's hips as the elder hovered over him, kissing him with intense passion. Jungkook was starting to feel dizzy from the intensity as his grip tightened on Taehyung's hips. Taehyung winced slightly, ignoring the pain as he continued to kiss Jungkook frivolously. "T- Tae, baby," Jungkook breathed out, turning his head away to breathe. Taehyung pouted as he slumped into Jungkook more, sighing as he laid his head on Jungkook's chest. "Yes?" Taehyung addressed Jungkook's struggle, planting his chin in the divet of Jungkook's toned chest.
"I- I would love nothing more than to ravage you right now but think about your condition first," Jungkook countered, breathing heavily under Taehyung. Taehyung pouted more, huffing slightly as he pushed himself into a sitting position on top of Jungkook. "Then let me blow you," Taehyung suggested, shrugging nonchalantly as Jungkook choked on his own saliva. Jungkook bit his lip at the suggestion, glancing at the position they were already lounging. "While the offer sounds very tempting, baby boy. Please wait until in the morning so you can at least sleep this medicine off," Jungkook suggested as Taehyung groaned softly and flopped onto his good side. He hugged the bunny Jungkook bought him close to his chest and pouted with his back to Jungkook.
Jungkook slowly sat up as he kicked his shoes off and threw his clothes into a hamper in the corner. He liked to be free when he slept, rather than have anything getting tangled if he tossed and turned throughout the night. He curled up close to Taehyung and wrapped his arms around the elder male, Taehyung quickly drifting off due to the morphine. Jungkook, however, closed his eyes, but could never fall into a deep or restful sleep.

Taehyung peeked his eyes open that morning, rubbing his sleepy eyes at the blinding white that reflected in through his window. Taehyung slowly peeked up from his position in bed to see blankets of pristine white encompassing everything. In his excitement, Taehyung sat up quickly, feeling a gentle tug at his waist and a dull ache creep up his side. Taehyung glanced over to see Jungkook still peacefully fast asleep, snuggled deep into Taehyung's back. Taehyung smiled softly to himself as that dull ache slowly spread further up his side and into his ribcage. It made it that much more painful to breathe, but he was managing. He groaned softly, even though the pain was somewhat easier to ignore now.
Taehyung turned towards Jungkook more, allowing the younger to now use his lap as a pillow. With a loving smile, Taehyung tenderly caressed Jungkook's head before combing his elegant fingers through Jungkook's silky ebony hair. From the tender touches, Jungkook nestled further into Taehyung's lap with a soft, satisfied sigh. Taehyung stifled a soft giggle, smiling to himself as he continued to comb his fingers through Jungkook's soft hair until the younger peeked up at him through groggy eyes. "Good morning, darling," Taehyung greeted with a pleasant smile as Jungkook slowly unwrapped his arms from around Taehyung and lifted himself into a sitting position.
"Good morning," Jungkook greeted groggily, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Taehyung laid his head on Jungkook's broad shoulder as he sighed softly in content. "We should get dressed quickly so that I can buy you a Christmas gift," Taehyung announced, pushing himself to his hands and knees in front of Jungkook. He tenderly kissed Jungkook's lips before climbing off the bed and hastily walking over towards his closet. Jungkook stretched his back before shoving the blankets off of him to follow after Taehyung. Taehyung was in the middle of changing shirts when Jungkook approached him and wrapped his arms lovingly around the smaller male's waist. "What's the hurry? Can't we just laze in bed together for a while, open the rest of your presents and just enjoy each other's company?" Jungkook asked as Taehyung suddenly turned towards him. "There are more?" Taehyung asked as Jungkook chuckled softly and scratched the back of his head.
"You didn't honestly think I was only going to get you just one gift, did you?" Jungkook asked jokingly as Taehyung huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. Jungkook sighed in defeat at the look Taehyung was currently offering him as he wandered over towards the clothes Taehyung had picked out for him. "I'm getting dressed," he resigned softly, throwing on the shirt first. Jungkook was starting to realize that it didn't take much from Taehyung for the elder to get his way and that alarmed Jungkook to a small extent. What else would he be willing to do for Taehyung just to make him happy?
He wasn't sure, but he was certain he had to be cautious of Taehyung's requests. Jungkook was just pulling on his socks and shoes as Taehyung jovially approached him. "I know what I want to get you for Christmas," Taehyung blurted out, smiling in his usual boxy fashion as Jungkook couldn't help but smile back. "Let's go get you your gifts and then I'll open the rest of mine," Taehyung asserted as Jungkook forfeited himself to following Taehyung along for the day. Jungkook slipped his hand in Taehyung's own as Taehyung intertwined their fingers and directed the way to their destination.

Upon their arrival at their destination, Jungkook felt his heart race as he stared up at the bold, colorful sign that read 'Color Me Crazy' tattoo parlor. "T- Tae? Y- You want me to get a tattoo?" Jungkook asked anxiously, his hand tightening around Taehyung's own. Taehyung offered a soft, comforting smile as he brushed Jungkook's hair behind his ear. "I just thought it would look... rebellious and s- sexy," Taehyung explained softly, biting his lip and wondering if it would be good enough as a present for Jungkook. "We can do something else though," Taehyung quickly followed that statement as Jungkook swallowed hard. If Taehyung liked the thought of him having a tattoo, he wasn't going to deny that fantasy for him...
"I'll do it," Jungkook quickly agreed, throwing Taehyung off guard as he nodded hesitantly. "O- Okay..." Taehyung stammered out, his eyes wide with surprise as he held the door open for Jungkook. Jungkook boldly walked through the door, dragging Taehyung alongside him as they approached the counter. Jungkook cleared his throat, ringing the bell for service, and waited for someone to approach the counter. Taehyung still held Jungkook's hand tightly, the palm of Jungkook's hand sweating against Taehyung's as the younger valiantly accepted the gift Taehyung bought for him.
Before long, Jungkook had a tattoo of two separate, sideways solid black trapezoids side by side, forming a shield. Jungkook remained seated as the artist had instructed since the color had drained from his face when they'd started the process, although he felt fine now that his anxiety about it being painful was quelled. Taehyung tilted his head at the two shapes on Jungkook's hand, trying to figure out what they meant or what they were supposed to represent. Jungkook laughed softly as he watched Taehyung's eyebrows knit in confusion before the elder's gaze finally met Jungkook's intense stare. "Like it?" Jungkook asked, curious as to what Taehyung thought of it.
Taehyung was silent for a moment before he clicked his tongue. "I'm sorry. What is it supposed to be?" Taehyung asked, tilting his head again to look at it from a different angle to see if it made sense then. Jungkook suppressed the urge to laugh as small, choked giggles left his lips. "It's a shield, baby boy," Jungkook confirmed as Taehyung's eyes widened in understanding. "Oh, okay. Why would you get a shield though?" Taehyung asked as Jungkook slowly stood to his feet. "Well, it is my first tattoo and I didn't really have anything in mind, but I got the shield because I'll always be your protector," Jungkook claimed boldly as Taehyung's cheeks flushed a bright red. He didn't know how to respond to that as Jungkook placed his newly inked hand on the small of Taehyung's back and directed him over towards the counter once more.
Taehyung quickly paid for the tattoo before Jungkook could even pull his own card out of his wallet. Jungkook sighed softly as Taehyung grabbed his hand and pulled him along out the door and towards another shop. This time, it was a hair salon. Jungkook stared up at the neon sign that read 'Salon Quaint'. By the name of it, it should have been an attractive, quiet place where one could go to escape or relax, but that was far from the truth once they entered. It was noisy and bustling with business and gossip. Jungkook attempted to turn back towards the door, but Taehyung urged him forward towards this counter as well.
Once they had their appointment settled upon, Taehyung took a seat and studied Jungkook's hair, wondering what he should have them do with it. It didn't take much longer for an employee to haul Jungkook back to have his hair done. Taehyung whispered into the hairdresser's ear what he thought would look good with Jungkook's hair and with an enthusiastic nod of her head, she went to work on Jungkook's hair. It took some time for the bleach to affect Jungkook's naturally dark hair, but it didn't take her long to add the color into his hair. Once that was done, all they had to do was wait for the color to take hold and then wash it out.
When everything was said and done, Jungkook was shown a mirror as he stared at the vibrant rose petal pink, turquoise blue, and vivid lilac purple streaks throughout his ebony locks. He turned his intense gaze towards Taehyung who smiled back at him with innocence. "It looks soooo good on you," Taehyung exclaimed, realizing it did turn out better than he had imagined. He could feel himself starting to salivate over Jungkook's makeover and the dark, brooding eyes that Jungkook had trained on him was only making the situation worse.
Taehyung swallowed hard, feeling a lump in his throat as Jungkook stood from the salon chair and stormed up to him. Jungkook roughly grabbed Taehyung's wrist, wanting to talk to him about his decision to mess with his hair, only for a small whimper to stop him dead in his tracks. He'd forgotten just how fragile Taehyung was and hesitantly turned toward Taehyung, fully prepared to apologize until he saw how hard Taehyung was biting his lip. "I- I'm s- sorry," Taehyung apologized softly, his gaze cast down towards the ground. He wanted to meet Jungkook's gaze to see what he was thinking, but then he might make a mistake with Jungkook in public, and he couldn't afford his father to find out anything bad.
"L- Let's go see the lights," Taehyung suggested excitedly, quickly paying for Jungkook's dye job. "Since we were interrupted the other day," Taehyung added, trying his best not to look Jungkook's way. It made Jungkook feel guilty about the way he'd grabbed Taehyung in the salon, his anxiety causing him to think that he was the problem and that was why Taehyung wouldn't look at him. Although, Jungkook couldn't see the pink tint across Taehyung's cheeks that the elder was desperately trying to hide.

It didn't take them long to walk towards the lights, finding a little bench for the two of them to sit as snow continually drifted through the night wind. The light reflecting off the pristine, white snow was almost blinding as the flakes refracted into different colored light. It was a beautiful and astonishing view as Taehyung watched the flakes to try and forget the fact that Jungkook was looking beyond sexy beside him. Taehyung wondered if other people would be ensnared and entranced by Jungkook's allure. It was hard for Taehyung himself to resist Jungkook's temptation and he wasn't even doing anything other than watching the snow. This was going to be one of the hardest nights for Taehyung to get through and he was well aware of that now as he peeked over at Jungkook before quickly turning his gaze back towards the snowflakes falling all around them.
Taehyung shivered slightly due to the brisk winds but ignored it as Jungkook shifted closer to him, grabbing Taehyung's hand. "I'm sorry if I grabbed you too rough at the salon," Jungkook apologized, scrambling to find the words to say as Taehyung finally met Jungkook's gaze. There was a brief pause as the two stared at each other and it finally clicked in Jungkook's head that that wasn't why Taehyung had whimpered. Jungkook could see the lust churning deep behind Taehyung's dark irises as the elder shifted his gaze elsewhere to avoid being too naughty in public. "Can I kiss you?" Jungkook asked softly as Taehyung's eyes quickly shot back towards Jungkook.
He wanted so desperately to say no, just in case anybody else was around, but it was too much effort to resist Jungkook. With a soft nod of his head, they both leaned into each other. Their lips hovered over each other's for a split second before Jungkook placed his freshly-inked hand at the back of Taehyung's neck, driving the elder closer to him in a heated and passionate kiss. Taehyung placed one of his hands on Jungkook's thigh and the other in Jungkook's newly streaked hair, moaning softly into the kiss. Jungkook's other hand quickly snaked around Taehyung's waist, trying to pull the small male as close to him as possible without pulling Taehyung into his lap.
After several moments, Taehyung had to forcefully pull himself away from Jungkook to breathe, the younger attaching his lips against the heated flesh of Taehyung's neck. Taehyung panted softly, his hand desperately pulling at Jungkook's hair in desire. He wanted so recklessly to continue, but he had other things to obtain for their Christmas before the night was over and he couldn't give in to frivolous activities just yet. "W- We h- have a c- couple more stores to v- visit, K- Kookie! S- Stop before things progress," Taehyung whimpered out softly as Jungkook pried himself away from Taehyung. "What other stores do we have to visit?" Jungkook asked dejectedly, wanting nothing more than to be in bed with Taehyung right now. Taehyung breathed a sigh of relief as he adjusted his pants and held his hand out for Jungkook to take. "You'll see," Taehyung discreetly whispered, giggling as he navigated them towards their next destination.
