Work Text:
The only reason Yoongi agreed to wearing jeans and a clean shirt tonight was because he's weak for his best friend, Jung Hoseok.
You see, Hoseok apparently has a giant crush on a librarian. Yoongi, first of all, can not fathom how someone like Hoseok--so energetic, really into tall beefy guys--would fall for a librarian. And yes, Yoongi is assuming they're all tiny quiet twinky nerds like himself.
So Hoseok is dragging Yoongi to a party tonight because he didn't want to go alone. Also if Hoseok has one too many drinks, he will not stop, and then he will 1000% have a terrible hangover tomorrow. So Yoongi, being the best friend that he is, will be there to monitor him.
As soon as they walk into the door of the tiny apartment, Yoongi groans. Smoke is polluting the air, the smell of cheap beer lingers, and the music is horrible. Just to add to it all, Hoseok runs off to find said librarian, completely forgetting that Yoongi chooses not to use his social skills in these situations. Because yes, he does have them, but he just saves them for better environments, like a coffee house or a concert. An introvert has only such a battery life until they have to recharge.
He makes his way towards the kitchen and luckily they have whiskey. It's a terrible, cheap brand, but he's just not in the mood for beer or anything clear like soju, vodka, tequila. He has a whole Hoseok to take care of.
Then he spots gold after grabbing a plastic cup. A rare empty couch in the far back of the open living space, where the music is a bit duller and the cloud smoke is less dense. He will be planting his ass right then and there for the remainder of this party, sipping on his disgusting drink.
He's there for a good solid 10 minutes of people watching when the empty spot next to him is taken.
The man groans and that causes Yoongi to look over to him. Fuck, he's hot. His hair is black and a bit on the longer side. It does a cute swoop above his pretty almond-shaped eyes. He's wearing a loose sweater, but you can somehow see the shape of his body due to his broad shoulders. What really catches Yoongi's eyes are the man's full pink lips.
Why is he alone when he looks like that? Is he tired? Should Yoongi move? Maybe he's waiting for his partner so they can make out next to Yoongi and make him feel even more single.
Another tall man walks over to the hot guy. Ah, the significant other who will be making out with the hot guy. And wow, this guy is hot, too. Short black hair, with razored sides. His tight t-shirt just shows how fit he is. His dimples appear as he smiles at the hot guy. Nice.
Yoongi sorta wouldn't mind if they made out next to him now that he thinks about it. It's been months since he's gotten any, so sue him. A nice little visual for–
"Hyung, are you sure you're fine?" Asks the dimpled man.
"Joon-ah, go find your dancer boy. Hyung is fine just sitting here. You know I don't like crowds."
Ah another, introvert, who is apparently not dating the hot dimpled man.
Dimpled man’s smile grows, "Thanks again hyung for coming with me. I mean it."
"AISH, JOON! Go go go!"
Yoongi can see out of the corner of his eyes that hot-man-on-couch's ears are bright red just after talking to whoever this Joon is.
The Joon guy does end up leaving to go find whoever his dancer boy is, and Yoongi and the hot couch guy sit in silence. But it's comfortable. They both sip on their respective drinks, and people watch.
The comfortable silence is ruined about 15 minutes later when a drunk girl stumbles over to Hot Guy.
Her hand immediately grabs Hot Guy's shoulder, "Heyyyy oppaaaa you came out!"
"Sweetie, I've been out," Hot Guy chuckles to himself.
Drunk girl tilts her head, clearly confused. "Come dance with meeeeeeee. You're so hot. I want to kiss a hot guy tonight. Pleaseeeee oppaaaaa."
"I told you earlier, not interested.”
She moves closer, almost straddling the guy, "I'll make your night good."
Hot Guy no longer looks polite, "Back off, I'm not in the mood to deal with drunk people right now."
He's starting to seem annoyed, but doesn't want to be rude. And since Yoongi feels awkward, but bad for the guy, he's gonna be the rude one.
"Hey," Yoongi called the girl, "He said to leave him alone."
Drunk girl sways as she puts her hands on her hips, "Aaaand who are you?!"
"Um…." Quick, think fast Yoongi, "H-his boyfriend. He's taken. Now leave him alone."
"Ohmygod…..ssss'sorry. Fuck I gotta puke." And the girl stumbles off.
Hot Guy is staring at Yoongi in awe, and then Yoongi realizes he might've just made up that this dude isn't straight and well straight guys can be kinda douchey, but his friend was looking for a dude and he thinks Hot Guy made a "I'm gay" joke but he's not really sure and...
"Thanks for helping," he smiles. Fuck.
Yoongi clears his throat, "Oh yeah, she was annoying me….and it seemed like you, too. Sorry to pretend you're into dudes….I didn't realize that maybe--"
"It's fine," he cuts Yoongi off. "Definitely into dudes," he chuckles. Fuck he has a cute laugh. "She's in one of my business classes, and I keep turning her down. She's one of those girls who thinks she can turn a gay guy straight with her vagina. I told her not to call me oppa, and yet…."
"Oh god I'm sorry. I mean, I understand why she'd hit on you...oh shit wait."
Hot Guy laughs even harder, "No need to be embarrassed that you find me attractive. We're dating after all," he winks.
Yoongi sighs in relief that the guy seems completely fine with what he said earlier. "If anybody else comes to hit on you that you don't want, I'll be here to be rude and possessive," he smiles.
Hot guy nudges him, "And what about you?"
"What about me?"
"If people hit on you, shall I come rescue you, too?"
Yoongi can feel his cheeks burn, "Ah….yeah no that won't be happening."
"Pshhhh...lies,” Hot Guy lightly chuckles to himself.
They then continue to sit in silence because Yoongi doesn't know how to respond. What is the hot guy saying?! Why would he even assume someone would be hitting on--
"So," Hot gGuy begins talking again, "If we're 'dating', we need a story."
Yoongi turns towards him, "A story?"
Hot Guy shrugs, "Yeah, our love story. We have a couple hours, might as well."
Yoongi laughs, "Yeah okay, why the hell not."
Hot Guy takes a sip from his cup, "So, how long have we been together?"
"Hm….a couple months?"
"Nah, not serious enough to scare off the determined drunks."
Yoongi tilts his head, "A couple years?"
Hot Guy grins, "High school sweethearts."
Yoongi laughs, "Romantic."
"That I am."
"Then wouldn't we be sitting closer?" Yoongi didn't mean to insinuate anything, but it does get a reaction out of the hot guy.
Hot guy scoots closer,"Aish, sly dog." He rests a hand on Yoongi's knee, "Better?"
"Y-yeah." He can feel the heat radiating through his pants. Thank god Hoseok convinced him to do laundry.
"So...how did we meet?"
"Didn't you say high school?"
Hot Guy does a very cute dramatic eye roll, "Well yeah, but how?!"
Yoongi is feeling so endeared by this beautiful stranger, "Well, I played basketball and I took piano lessons after school."
"Hm...I do like me some sweaty men who know how to play with balls."
Yoongi almost drops his drink, "Oh my fucking god."
A cute squeaky laugh comes out of Hot Guy, "Your face is priceless right now….anyways...since I'm a romantic...let's say I heard you play piano and was intrigued."
"And you asked me to play you a song, and then it became our song."
"Aish, now who's the romantic here?!"
Yoongi throws a flirty smirk his way, "I never said I wasn't."
They're both smiling at each other, and then Yoongi hears it because he can recognize that sound from anywhere, his best friend's laughter.
He turns his head and sees Hoseok giggling at….that Joon guy?! Hoseok catches Yoongi looking and nods, pointing very obviously to Joon as he wiggles his eyebrows.
"Does the blonde guy pointing to my friend Namjoon happen to dance," asks Hot Guy.
Yoongi gasps, "Yes…. is Namjoon a librarian?!"
"Yeah, what a nerd."
Yoongi tilts his head looking at the couple, "I was not expecting that….and now it makes sense. I assumed Hoseok's librarian crush to be…."
"Wow I can't believe my fake boyfriend automatically assumes stereotypes!"
"I...i…"
"I'm just fucking with you. Namjoonie used to be a scrawny nerd, then he turned into the beefy piece of meat that your friend won't stop caressing.”
"He does that. He says it's for mental care, but really he just wants to feel up guys' tits and it seems as though your Namjoon has plenty."
Hot Guy squints at the two, "And wow, he does not mind it at all."
That's when they witness the cutest thing ever. Namjoon is leaning in and kissing Hoseok's cheek, stunning the shorter man. Then Namjoon walks over to the couch he and Hot Guy are occupying.
"Hey hyung, ready to go? I can't believe I took an early shift tomorrow."
Hot Guy stands up, "Because you're a big ol nerd."
"Says the guy who has spent an embarrassing amount of money on Maple Story."
"Aish, stop making me look lame in front of my fake boyfriend."
Namjoon perks an eyebrow.
"I'll explain later, but yeah we should get going." He turns to Yoongi, "It was nice talking to you."
"Likewise."
And then he watches the hottest man he has ever seen disappear into the crowd and out the door. It's not until he and Hoseok are walking back home, not stumbling may he add, when Yoongi realizes he never even got Hot Guy's name or number. FUCK.
"Hob-ah, what's Namjoon's hot friend's name?"
"Aw does widdle Yoobi-hyung have a crush?"
"Ugh no. I just wanted to know the name of the one person I can tolerate at a party."
Hoseok pouts, "Hey!"
"You ditched me for tits!"
"Mmm...Joonie has a nice chest….but no I don't know his hyung's name. Sorry babe."
Yoongi sighs, "So are you two dating…."
Hoseok whines a little, "Um...no not yet. I think we're just still acknowledging our crushes on each other to be honest. He's sweet and doesn't want to push me, I think."
"Cute," and he means it.
Because Hoseok and Namjoon are still in that weird limbo stage, Yoongi is being dragged out again to be Hoseok's plus one. It's out to a bar, but on the plus side the music is a live band and not a shitty DJ.
Yoongi is once again lucky, and finds a booth in the back where he can still hear his thoughts. The band playing reminds him of the music his father listens to, but they're not terrible. Hoseok comes back with drinks in his hands, promising not to overdo it, and they relax.
In the booth next to them are 3 guys who seem a bit younger. Hoseok seems to know them, but he never has a chance to introduce Yoongi because Hoseok is then jumping up to go meet his beefy librarian at the entrance of the bar. Yoongi turns to the side to introduce himself to the 3 guys, but they seem to now be in their own little world. He turns back to his table and sips his drink.
Then Yoongi sees him. Namjoon's hot friend. Yoongi sort of secretly hoped that Namjoon's friend was going to be dragged along to the bar also. Of course for dramatics, he feigned interest in joining Hoseok to the bar, but it's like his best friend knew him better.
Hot guy is wearing a purple hoodie and jeans, but somehow makes the outfit look like it came off the runway. "Well well well, isn't it my fake longterm boyfriend who I never got the name of last time."
Yoongi chuckles, "Yeah we sorta forgot about that. Min Yoongi."
Hot Guy smiles, "Kim Seokjin."
"Nice to finally meet you Seokjin-ssi."
"Ah, Yoongi-ah, if we're dating, call me hyung."
"How do you know I'm not older than you?"
"I'm telepathic."
"And yet you didn't know my name."
"I also may or may not have asked Namjoon the deets."
"Okay yeah you're older if you say deets."
"ANYHOO, he didn't know your name, but Hoseok talked about his tiny blonde hyung born in 1993. I'm 92."
Ignoring the fact that Hoseok called him tiny even though he's barely shorter than his best friend, "Wow you're 92 years old!? Is my fake boyfriend actually my sugar daddy!?"
"YOONGI-YAH!"
They both giggle to each other, but are interrupted by some….moaning?
"Jimin-ahhh that tickles."
"Fuck, Tae. That's not me, that's Kookie."
"Why do you two wear such difficult belts?"
Yoongi realizes it's the 3 next to them. He turns to Seokjin and whispers, "So I'm pretty sure the 3 guys next to us are very close to fucking in that booth."
Seokjin turns his head to look, "That's so unsani--"
Yoongi places his hand on Seokjin's cheek to face him again, "Don't make it obvious!!!" But then he realizes that they're touching and that they're so close and that Seokjin has such lovely soft skin.
Yoongi lowers his hand and sees faint pink scattered across Seokjin's face. "I..I don't think they notice anything going on around them," Seokjin whispers.
God Yoongi wants to kiss him….but that's so soon. He doesn't do one night stands and he doesn't want to fuck this up, but fuck Seokjin's lips look so inviting.
"Want to go outside?"
"Yes please," Seokjin breathes out.
So Yoongi and Seokjin plant their asses on the curb outside of the bar and talk about literally anything and everything.
"How smart do you think dinosaurs were? Like, do you think they knew what was happening when the asteroid came?" "Yoongi-yah! Don't be so morbid!"
"Would you rather go to space or the bottom of the ocean? I personally believe that there's a giant squid waiting to eat me." "But aliens might probe you." “And?”
"Mint choco...yes or no?” "I'd rather not eat toothpaste, you heathen."
"You would never believe how I got this scar. It involves jelly beans, a microscope and a naked man who I was not sleeping with." "Oh god, do tell…"
Yoongi could listen to Seokjin talk for days...months...years...forever. He didn't even realize hours were passing until his phone was ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hyung where did you go?!" Ah, Hoseok finally remembered he exists.
"I'm with Seokjin-hyung outside."
"Seokjin-hyung?"
"Namjoon's friend."
"Oh...ohhhhhh."
"Don't ohhhhhh me!"
Then a second later Hoseok and Namjoon are walking out of the bar, hand in hand. Hoseok wiggles his eyebrows at the two on the ground.
"Like you have room to wiggle your eyebrows, what's this?!"
Hoseok squeaks, "SOMETHING DEVELOPING SHUT YOUR PIEHOLE!"
He turns to Seokjin, "I swear he's five."
"Anyways," Hoseok sighs, "I'm sleepy and it's getting late."
Yoongi hums in agreement. He's a bit sad to depart from Seokjin, but he figures he can just ask for his number now.
Except he can't because Hoseok doesn't give him the opportunity. Namjoon just kissed Hoseok on the lips, and since Hoseok gets shy with anything intimate, he bursts out giggling, yells "SEE YOU FRIDAY!" then grabs Yoongi's hand to scurry off.
Yoongi looks back and sees a look of shock on Namjoon's face, and then a huge grin. Seokjin is laughing until he catches Yoongi's eye contact. He blows a kiss and Yoongi feels his heart flutter.
For once, Yoongi is not dragged with Hoseok to go meet with Namjoon because on Friday, those two finally go on their date. Hoseok comes home the next morning twirling and singing about how his boyfriend has the nicest boobs.
Now that they're together, Yoongi isn't required to be dragged along, so that means Seokjin isn't either...so that means Yoongi will never see the most beautiful man in his life ever again…. Unless he asks Namjoon for Seokjin's number. He was sort of hoping Seokjin would ask Hoseok for his….but alas...neither has happened. Yoongi pines for a man he may never see again. (Yes, he's being very dramatic, just let him be.)
After 2 weeks of officially dating Namjoon, Hoseok comes home one day with groceries and informs Yoongi that Namjoon will be coming over later for dinner. Instead of asking Yoongi to leave for some privacy, he tells Yoongi to put on pants and brush his hair.
Honestly, Yoongi just ignores that because why does he need to impress Namjoon? He'll just be in his room all evening anyways.
But now he knows why.
He didn't realize how soon Hoseok meant that Namjoon would be arriving. Yoongi is currently sprawled across the couch in a big shirt and cat boxers when the front door opens.
In comes Namjoon…..
And Seokjin.
"Oh shit," says Yoongi, which in response Seokjin smirks at him. Yoongi runs off to his room to change and puts a brush through his hair.
An awkward five minutes later, Yoongi leaves his room and finds Seokjin showing Hoseok something in the kitchen.
Yoongi sits awkwardly on the couch with Namjoon.
"So…."
"Hobi wanted to cook dinner together as a date."
"Then why are you out here and Seokjin is in there?"
Namjoon laughs, "I can't cook for shit. Seokjin offered to help Hoseok before I arrived, but then Hoseok had the idea of having you and Seokjin-hyung to join us."
"Ah...I see…I wish he would've informed me better."
"I could tell," Namjoon chuckles.
Hoseok and Namjoon walk out of the kitchen, "It should be ready soon, Joonie." Hoseok turns to Yoongi, "Nice to see that you do own pants."
"Thanks for informing me, asshole."
Seokjin laughs, "Explains the cute cat boxers."
"Can we not talk about this?"
"I'm surprised it took this long to see my longterm fake boyfriend's kitty boxers."
"I regret ever meeting you."
Seokjin leans in, ears to Yoongi's ear, "I could be saying a lot worse things, Yoongi-yah."
Yoongi shivers.
The moment is interrupted when food is announced, since most of it was pre-made and just needed to be heated.
Luckily, the kitchen table fits four people, so Yoongi finds himself sitting next to Seokjin who he can't stop stealing glances of. Seokjin on the other hand is arguing about flat earth with Namjoon, and Yoongi isn't quite sure if Seokjin is serious or not.
"Hyung...we know from actual science that the Earth is round."
"Have you seen the curve with your own eyes, Joonie?"
Yoongi chuckles at Seokjin's seriousness as Namjoon looks flabbergasted. Then you have Hoseok looking at Namjoon with heart eyes.
"No I have not, hyung. I am not an astronaut."
"Then how would you know!" Seokjin lays a hand on Yoongi's thigh, "You agree with me, Yoongichi, right?"
It takes Yoongi a minute for his brain to catch up because Seokjin is rubbing his thigh, "Oh uh, yeah. The earth is flat and is currently floating on a giant sky turtle's back in space."
Namjoon's jaw drops, clearly not believing that Yoongi is going along with Seokjin, "I…."
Seokjin turns to Yoongi and before Yoongi even has a chance to react, Seokjin is placing a kiss on Yoongi's cheek. "I knew I could always trust my Yoongi-chi to believe in the flat earth."
Yoongi feels like he's on fire and can only nod his head.
Hoseok squints at them, "I am so confused with you two right now." Namjoon nods in agreement.
Seokjin just beams at them and continues eating his food like this is just an ordinary time. Yoongi is too afraid to move because if he does, the butterflies mosh pitting in his stomach might come out in the form of the food he was just eating.
Namjoon gives up on the flat earth debate and returns his attention to his boyfriend.
When the food is cleared, and dishes are cleaned, Seokjin's mouth is next to Yoongi's ear, "I can't believe we've been dating for so long and I have yet to see your bedroom."
Yoongi blushes yet again and bravely grabs Seokjin's hand, and leads him to his room, hoping to god nothing embarrassing has been left out.
There's an awkward silence as they stand in Yoongi's room. Seokjin is walking around the small space, picking up random objects in the type of curiosity a child has.
Seokjin puts down the CD he was looking at and walks towards Yoongi who has just been standing idly by his door. "I think we should take this fake-dating to the next level."
Huh?!
What's next after fake-dating? Fake-marriage?!
"You want to get married?!"
Seokjin's seductive cool demeanor drops, "What?! I was gonna say move on to actual dating, but what the fuck?"
Oh.
"I…..figured marriage comes after dating and then...kids...and then..WAIT!" Yoongi moves closer to Seokjin, "You want to for real date me?!"
"Yeah you big cutie dumb dumb! I feel like it's been very obvious and very mutual!"
"Oh...um yeah...I'd like to actually date you, too…"
"Oh good because I've been really wanting to kiss you."
Yoongi grabs the front of Seokjin's shirt and pulls him in, "Then come here."
Both pairs of lips are immediately met with a passionate force. They explore with slow, but eager moments. Seokjin's hands are wrapped around Yoongi's waist as Yoongi can't seem to remove his hands from the front of Seokjin's now wrinkled shirt.
They break apart briefly just to breathe and laugh at what's really going on. Yoongi can't quite believe that they're here. They've only met a handful of times, and now they're making out in his bedroom. Yoongi can feel his knees becoming weak and it's like Seokjin has read his mind as he guides them to Yoongi's bed. He gently lays Yoongi down and hovers over him, trailing kisses down his neck. Hands don't move below their waists, but one kiss on a specific part of Yoongi's neck has him bucking his hips up to meet Seokjin's.
Seokjin pulls back, and Yoongi immediately feels embarrassed, but it's quickly gone when he sees the look in Seokjin's eyes.
"Ah, Yoongichi, I don't put out on the first date."
Yoongi rolls his eyes, "This isn't the first date though, hyung. Didn't we say that we've been together for a long time?"
A deep chuckle comes out of Seokjin, "Oh no you have convinced me. I guess that's something we can still pretend about, at least for this moment."
"I don't want to pretend about this."
"Me either."
Yoongi pulls him closer so their bodies are now fully touching. The kissing gets more heated, hips are moving against one another, and hands are roaming further and further. It's not long until their clothes are shed and Seokjin has to remind Yoongi to keep quiet because their friends are still in the same apartment as them.
They fall into being intimate so well together. Minus a few silly little awkward hiccups, but once they get their footing, Yoongi can't imagine being anywhere else or having anybody else touch him the way Seokjin is.
When they're bodies are finally tired out, Seokjin offers to grab some water for them. As Yoongi lies on his bed in his cat boxers, he can hear talking outside of his open door.
"Did you two just have sex?! While we were out here watching a movie?!" Hoseok sounds scandalized.
Yoongi hears Seokjin chuckling, "It's a completely normal thing for a couple to do to celebrate their fake engagement."
There's a pause.
Then a yell in unison, "WHAT?!"
Yoongi flops back on his bed, smiling, as his mind wanders to a hopeful real future with Seokjin.
End.
