The first thing Jungkook really noticed about Jimin was his scent. It was actually the first time an omega’s scent had stood out to him enough to make him turn his head and look for the source. There was something so very soft to it. Though it was quite atypical for an omega. He smelled fresh, like moss and wood. Just for a second, it made Jungkook feel like he was back in his father’s hut in the middle of the woods, playing outside and rolling around in the dirt.

He hadn’t been there for years but the scent made him dwell in nostalgia. It was something that eventually made him muster up the courage to talk to Jimin. At the time he didn’t think much about the soft citrus that was strongly overpowered by the wooden scent. He simply assumed that Jimin was wearing some kind of citrus perfume. At least that was the case until he met Taehyung.

When he’d first started talking to Jimin, the boy wouldn’t shut up about his best friend. It was always Taehyung this, Taehyung that, and for the longest of times Jungkook had thought that Taehyung and Jimin were dating.

When he finally gathered the courage to ask Jimin burst into laughter, saying something along the lines of ‘not even in a different reality’.

And then he met Taehyung and they were not off to a good start.

His hackles rose the second Taehyung stepped into the room. Something about the way the boy moved deeply upset his alpha. It made him angry. The way he looked so confident in himself. How casually he walked over to Jimin and slung his arm around the boy’s shoulders, Jimin just melting against him.

It riled Jungkook up. Because even before Taehyung opened his mouth, he knew the boy was more alpha than he was ever going to be. He just had that aura of a real alpha. Someone omegas adored.

He made Jungkook feel inadequate.

And then Taehyung’s scent hit him and he was… confused.

Because Taehyung smelled like Jimin. Exactly the way Jimin did. That strong wooden scent, like stepping on moss, and just a soft tang of citrus.

And while he had been so intimidated… so confused, Taehyung had simply stretched out his hand, introducing himself before smiling at him.

“Jimin told me a lot about you.” That smile… something about that smile really pissed Jungkook off. Because it seemed nice, not intimidating at all, so why did Jungkook have this strong urge to cower? 

To this day Jungkook wasn’t sure what exactly had possessed him to growl at Taehyung. It hadn’t been something he’d really decided on doing. His inner alpha had been scared, triggering some kind of fight or flight instinct, and since he hadn’t been able to leave, given that Jimin was introducing him to his best friend, he’d ended up growling at Taehyung.

Probably one of the most impolite things an alpha could do to another alpha. And Jungkook had done it, openly provoking Taehyung. Needless to say, Taehyung probably… hadn’t gotten the best first impression of him either.

Jungkook had watched the way his body tensed, his eyes getting smaller as his inner wolf, accepted the invitation to a fight, but luckily Jimin had been there, quickly de-escalating the situation by yelling something about an UFO.

And then Jungkook had just left. He had been aware he wasn’t acting reasonably, but everything about Taehyung pissed him off. He hadn’t been able to stand being in the same room as the other alpha any longer.

When Jimin had shown up at his place later to talk Jungkook had somewhat admitted to it. Simply explained that Taehyung made him feel uncomfortable. That seeing him had made him unreasonably angry and that he was aware it was stupid.

At least Jimin had been understanding, saying something along the lines of it being a pity. Sad that his two best friends weren’t going to get along. But he had never judged Jungkook and Jungkook was grateful for that because sometimes alpha biology just worked in certain ways. There was nothing that could be done about it.

The bigger issue was yet to come though, and it started with a simple question Jungkook randomly decided to ask a few days later as he and Jimin were sitting in his room, playing Mario Kart together.

“So uhm… why is your scent on Taehyung? I thought you guys weren’t dating.” Jungkook hadn’t been able to shake off that thought for days. It didn’t make too much sense. Scenting was quite the intimate act… having someone’s scent on you usually was a sign of affection. Love. Maybe Taehyung had feelings for Jimin, that the boy was unaware of.

Or maybe their relationship wasn’t as easy as Jimin had made it sound it so far. After all it had to mean something if Taehyung let Jimin scent him.

The thought made Jungkook kind of angry. Jimin’s scent on Taehyung… it annoyed him.

“Huh?” Jimin looked at him, his car driving over the edge of the map and falling into the dark abyss beyond. “What are you talking about?”

“Taehyung smells exactly like you.” Jungkook elaborated, pausing the game since he couldn’t focus like this either. Not when the thought of Taehyung’s face alone made him tense and his fingers cramped around the controller.

“Oh.” Jimin opened his mouth for a second, then shook his head. “Sorry, I sometimes forget that it has to be confusing for people because I’m already so used to it. Taehyung doesn’t have my scent on him.” He pointed at his neck. “His scent is on me. What you are smelling right now is his natural scent.”

Needless to say, Jungkook’s whole world fell apart.

“What…” He must have looked as confused as he felt because Jimin continued right away.

“My scent attracts lots of unwanted attention from alphas. Because apparently scent and ass is all that matters. So I take some scent suppressants and let Taehyung scent me every morning. Keeps alphas away, at least as long as I don’t have a partner. I don’t normally smell like this. My scent is sweeter, kind of citrusy from what people have told me.”

“Wait…” Jungkook hesitated. “He scents you every morning?” Were those guys really not dating, because it certainly did sound like it.

Jimin chuckled, running his hand through his hair. “We’re roommates and I’m a…” He seemed to search for the right word. “...very needy person. I usually get up when my alarm rings and crawl into his bed to cuddle with him for… anything from five minutes to an hour.”

Something about that made Jungkook angry. Maybe because his close friend was being this close with an alpha he couldn’t stand.

“Should you really be doing that… he’s an alpha too.”

Jimin simply shrugged his shoulders, grabbing the controller again. “He’s the sweetest alpha I know. Also… he doesn’t care much for omegas. He’s into alphas.”

That… was surprising. Alphas who preferred to date other alphas were rare. Especially because dating alphas as an alpha… was a lot of work. From what he had heard the biggest issues were constant fights for dominance, unwillingness to give in and, when it came down to it, pride.

Because whenever an alpha admitted to seeing another alpha, people almost instantly started speculating which one took it up the ass. Wondering which one of them preferred being the ‘omega’ in the relationship, and if there was one thing you could do to piss off any alpha it was calling them an omega.

Jungkook couldn’t ever do that. The mere thought of giving up control around an alpha, baring his neck and submitting, made his body tense.

“I didn’t expect that. Did he tell you just like that?” On the screen in front of them the game came back to live again.

“Not exactly…I found out when he brought an alpha home once. Didn’t expect me to be back so soon. Really weird experience. Room heavy with pheromones and two alphas making out on the couch. Sent me into an early heat.” Jimin chuckled while distractedly bombing Jungkook off the road.

Not that he really cared about what was going on in the game. This was pretty interesting to hear. Jungkook had never met someone like that - an alpha who dated alphas - so part of him was curious.

“And then he just told you?” 

“And then he told me. Now he warns me when he brings someone over so I can sleep at a friend’s. Certainly don’t want to repeat that.”

Jungkook let his mind wander. He really couldn’t imagine what being with another alpha was like. Given how easy he grew antsy around another alpha it really wasn’t much of a surprise.

Whenever he saw alphas like Taehyung it made him feel so small. So weak. And he fucking hated it. Because he knew he wasn’t weak and that it was normal for everyone. There were always stronger alphas. Ones that had more natural dominance. Who were bossier… but he still hated it.

He wondered what those alphas who actually did hook up with Taehyung felt when they saw him. The same as him? Was that what they liked about it? Feeling helpless and weak? Jungkook wasn’t about to kinkshame, but it certainly didn’t do anything for him.

“Jungkook, please focus on the game. Beating your ass when you aren’t even looking is no fun.”

It was his pride that stopped him from apologizing in the end. Apologizing would have meant to admit that he had done something wrong.

And he didn't want to. The fact that what he had thought to be Jimin's soft scent was actually Taehyung's... didn't really sit well with him, either.

But it wasn’t up to him whether or not he wanted to see Taehyung again. Now that he was aware who the boy was of course noticing that they shared one of the courses.

But the alpha didn't greet him. Just sent one look towards his direction before turning the other way. Like he hadn't even noticed Jungkook.

And that certainly rubbed him the wrong way.

Yes, he hadn't behaved perfectly well, but ignoring Jungkook was a big sign of disrespect from Taehyung’s side. Especially given that they knew each other already.

He found himself puffing up his chest as he made his way over to Taehyung, who was animatedly talking to some omega girl Jungkook had seen around but never actually had a conversation with before. She was clearly leaning a bit too close, not minding the usual etiquette. Not that Taehyung seemed to have any issues with it either.

“Hey.”

Taehyung turned around to look at him, mustering him up and down, and it irked the fuck out of Jungkook. The fact that Taehyung gave him that side eye glance and then was done with it.

Just like Jungkook Taehyung puffed his chest, getting up from his seat. He was just a tiny bit taller than Jungkook, but for some reason it felt like he was towering over him.

Jungkook’s alpha was clearly intimidated by the alpha before him… but he wasn’t going to give in.

“What do you need?” Taehyung’s voice was cold. Nothing like it had been when Jimin had introduced them for the first time.

Jungkook glared up at Taehyung in a silent battle for dominance, but Taehyung didn’t back down. Didn’t seem even the slightest bit intimidated. It made Jungkook anxious. He got the urge to avert his eyes, but he wasn’t going to back down either.

“You ignored me. That’s considered to be bad manners, if you don’t know.”

Taehyung looked him straight in the eyes before finally breaking eye contact to let out a sarcastic laugh. “I ignored you? That’s what you’re having a problem with right now?”

Jungkook nose filled with the familiar wooden scent, but this time it was bitter. It didn’t smell soothing like it did on Jimin. Instead it made Jungkook even more anxious.

“If you didn’t know, growling at another alpha is also considered bad manners.” Their eyes met again and Jungkook found himself in yet another staring contest. Not that he really had anything to back up his annoyance. He had acted really fucking rude by growling at Taehyung and now he wasn’t even willing to apologize.

Which was stupid, but his pride didn’t allow him to do it. In addition to that the alpha in front of him really pissed him off. He wasn’t too sure why, but he triggered the urge to jump his throat and bite down in Jungkook. He could tell that Taehyung felt the exact same way about him.

The thing that probably saved them was the professor entering the classroom and slamming the door shut behind herself. Jungkook finally managed to tear his gaze away from Taehyung, sending him one last glare before moving to his seat.

If there was one thing he was certain of, it was that his alpha loathed Taehyung.

Jungkook spent most of the next year making new friends around campus, having Jimin over, which had somehow turned into a weekly thing, and sometimes going out to party, hooking up with some random girls he only vaguely remembered the names of after.

He really did his best at avoiding Taehyung because just seeing the alpha could ruin his day. He really didn’t know why… but just getting a glimpse of his self confident stride pissed Jungkook off to no avail. But avoiding him wasn’t that easy. The alpha was a social butterfly, seemingly everywhere at the same time. In addition to that he had started hanging around at the places Jimin and consequently also Jungkook frequented.

Nevertheless they hardly talked. The few times they did Jimin and some of Taehyung’s friends had to distract both of them. At least Jungkook seemed to have just the same effect on Taehyung. It gave him some satisfaction at least. That he riled Taehyung up just as much.

“Is that really not too much?” Jungkook asked Jimin, who was zipping around the room while also doing his makeup at the same time. He had no clue how, but for some reason the boy managed.

“It’s perfect.”

Jungkook looked down at his ripped jeans, the fishnet tights showing through the gigantic holes on his thighs, and the almost see through black tank top he was wearing. He had dared mention that he liked Jimin’s style and kind of wanted to try dressing like that once even though it was pretty alpha atypical and now Jimin had really taken the challenge to doll up Jungkook as much as he could. He’d even gotten a huge number of bracelets and a necklace Jimin had insisted completed the style.

“I look like a stripper.”

“As I said, it’s perfect.” Jimin giggled, moving around the room, the soft scent of moss following him. Jungkook was kind of in denial about the fact that it was Taehyung’s scent he liked so much. He just couldn’t stand the idea of liking anything about Taehyung.

He wasn’t going to give Taehyung the satisfaction of liking his scent. There was no way.

“I’m still not sure. You think I’ll get people to hook up with me by flashing my nipples at everyone?” He pointed at his very visible nipples under his t-shirt. Most of his body was covered, but he felt even more naked than he did when he was actually naked.

“Stop complaining and let me do your makeup.”

Jungkook instantly shook his head. “Nope, not gonna happen. Don’t you dare…”

In the end it did happen. At least Jimin compromised and didn’t do much. Just made sure his eyes were more defined. For the look, he said.

Some part of Jungkook genuinely liked the way he looked as he and Jimin stepped out of the taxi, but some other part also felt anxious about what everyone else at the houseparty would think. He wasn’t dressed like an alpha right now and even though he liked the aesthetic it made him a tiny bit nervous.

But that worry quickly went out the window when they squeezed through the door, past a couple of people chatting right behind the entrance and then into the main area. Jungkook quickly noticed quite a few people staring at him. But the more he looked around the more he realized that the attention was positive not negative.

This had to be what Jimin felt like all the time. With alphas staring at his ass, something they would never get to touch.

Jungkook genuinely liked the attention. Maybe he wouldn’t be as well received if he dared to shop at a conservative supermarked, but here at the houseparty with just a bunch of horny, drunk university students most people who stared were staring with want.

Jimin next to him grinned. “You look content. Glad you’re back to being yourself, not the nervous wreck from the drive here.”

“Shut up.” Jungkook punched Jimin’s shoulder and the omega gasped, bringing his hand up to his dangerously wounded arm. “How dare you? You’re an alpha and you actually hit an omega!”

“Stop being a drama queen and let’s get something to drink.”

Jungkook was about six cups of beer and too many shots to be sure about the amount into his evening when he spotted Taehyung. He wasn’t one hundred percent sure it was Taehyung, but judging from the dyed ash blonde hair and the way he was built, with long legs and wide shoulders it was.

He was standing in the corner, rather far off from where most people had gathered, making out with  a guy who was just a bit shorter than him. Thin but muscular… judging by the way his hands moved over Taehyung’s shoulders, confident and with certainty, he also was an alpha. Jungkook couldn’t see their faces from where he was standing but for some reason he couldn’t get himself to avert his gaze.

Something about watching two alphas make out was fascinating to him. Not that he wanted to try it, it was simply something you hardly ever saw out in the open like that. Sure, there probably was porn for it because there was porn for everything, but Jungkook had never had the urge to search for any of that.

Nevertheless he couldn’t look away when Taehyung pressed the boy against the wall, half devouring him as they kissed. For a moment it felt like they were going to undress right then and there, but then they seperated. Taehyung said something Jungkook couldn’t hear, the boy nodded and then they disappeared upstairs.

Jungkook watched them with an odd feeling in his chest. Probably because he wanted to keep watching what was going to happen next. That had to be it. Mere curiosity.

He took another sip from his drink… maybe he could follow them. Just find out where they had gone.

Jimin had left him anyways and it wasn’t like the night was even close to being over. He found himself getting up from his seat and following the two, ignoring the fact that the room around him almost seemed to spin.

The next thing Jungkook remembered was that soft, familiar wooden scent. Tiredly he moved closer to the source. He must have fallen asleep at Jimin’s place. Hot skin touched his and Jungkook cuddled closer… until he realized that the body in front of him couldn’t possibly be Jimin. Too big, too muscular. The scent was too intense.

And then he opened his eyes and time seemed to freeze. Right in front of him was ashen hair, long lashes and soft lips… Taehyung. Jungkook’s heart started racing in his chest as he stared at the naked… naked! boy in front of him. Taehyung’s shoulders and chest were covered in bite marks and hickeys. Jungkook couldn’t see farther than that though because there was a blanket loosely thrown over both of their bodies.

Jungkook found himself staring for a couple of seconds. He couldn’t take his eyes away from Taehyung, who was still peacefully sleeping in front of him.

“What…” He quickly lifted his blanket, realizing he was only wearing his underwear. Just like Taehyung’s, his whole body was covered in hickeys. He could feel heat rush to his face… it was incredibly shameful for an alpha to let himself be marked up. Especially in visible places. Jungkook’s whole chest was covered in hickeys and he was fucking certain they were all over his neck too.

He quickly climbed out of the bed. He had no fucking clue what had happened… how he had ended up here, but this was certainly not his room and he really didn’t want to know why he and Taehyung had been basically naked and in one bed and oh god…

Jungkook brought his hand down to his ass. He didn’t feel any pain… he was good.

“Wow, you’re in a haste to get out of here.” He could hear Taehyung chuckle from the bed while sitting up, the sheets slipping down and revealing that, just like Jungkook, he was in his underwear. A real fucking relief if anyone had asked Jungkook. He really had no urge to see Taehyung’s dick… no matter how well defined his body looked as he was sitting there. Taehyung was hot, not even Jungkook could deny that, but he really just didn’t like the boy.

“What happened? Did we hook up?” Jungkook quickly gathered his tank top from the ground, suddenly very unhappy about the fact that it was so revealing. His and Taehyung’s clothes were all over the floor… god, they really had hooked up, hadn’t they?

Jungkook couldn’t recall any of it and his ass didn’t hurt so that would mean that Taehyung had… wow, he really couldn’t imagine that at all.

Taehyung on the bed lifted his eyebrow, mustering Jungkook up and down. “Did we hook up?” Then a smile tugged at his lips. He looked so cheeky like that, sitting there half naked, completely covered in hickeys and seemingly not bothered by it at all. “Sure we did.”

There it was. The confirmation. Jungkook had gotten blackout drunk and hooked up with Kim Taehyung out of all people. When he though back to the day before he could vaguely remember following Taehyung to his room… and then they had talked. He wasn’t sure when or about what but he vaguely remembered talking to Taehyung.

And then somehow, someway they had apparently hooked up. Jungkook really must have been fucking wasted.

“Great, one more thing to add to the list of terrible decisions I made.” Jungkook slipped into his pants, searching for his shoes on the floor.

“In the trash can.” Taehyung, who still looked way too goddamn amused, pointed across the room at a small trash bin that was luckily mainly used for paper by the looks of it.

“Thank you.” Jungkook grumbled. He had no clue how they had ended up in there, but he wasn’t going to ask. He just wanted to get out of there. Away from Taehyung, who was still grinning.

As it turned out, he was still at the place where the party had happened. Just at the second floor.

The walk home felt way longer than it usually did. He felt like everyone was staring at him now. It wasn’t much of a surprise. He was an alpha, wearing a see through shirt and covered in hickeys. Now he probably looked like a goddamn hooker.

“Jungkoo… Holy shit. Did you get run over by a car?” Jimin gasped, just as sweet as always.

“No I did not.” Jungkook grumbled, quickly slipping past Jimin He really didn’t like people staring and he knew for certain Taehyung wasn’t here… yet. He’d have to leave soon though. He didn’t have the nerve to see Taehyung again right now.

He was mainly there to grab his clothes, the ones he had left in Jimin’s room the day before. It would have taken him way longer to get to his own apartment and he didn’t have the energy to walk home right now. Because he felt embarrassed and anxious and the fact that his body was marked all over made his alpha go crazy. And he had no idea what was happening. People were going to see him and think he was weak.

“Everything okay?” Jimin seemed to notice the note of distress in Jungkook’s scent, pulling him into a soothing hug. But Jungkook couldn’t get himself to relax. Not when the scent clinging to Jimin that would usually have helped him relax was the exact same scent he was covered in right now.

“Yeah… I just need to take a quick shower and grab my clothes. I have a course in…” He pulled his phone out of his pocket. It was running low on battery, but at least it was still alive. “... an hour.”

“Go ahead.” Jimin moved towards his room, gathering Jungkook’s clothes from the day before. “These aren’t fresh anymore. If you want I could get you some of Taehyung’s-” “No.”

Jungkook had been a bit louder than he should have been… but he felt like the whole world was out to rub in the fact that Taehyung and him had hooked up.

He really had no idea what to think of it. Because it really shouldn’t have been that much of an issue. It wasn’t the first time he had drunkenly hooked up with someone and certainly not the first time he had gotten blackout drunk.

But something about the fact that he had hooked up with Taehyung… and had no memory of it made him anxious.

He’d spent the last year avoiding that boy like a plague since they would have been at each other's throat otherwise and now, after all that time, Taehyung had looked so cheeky as he grinned at him. So self confident. The very thing that had pissed off Jungkook so much in the first place.

Was the alpha going to look down on Jungkook now? The thought didn’t sit right with him. He was just another alpha who had fallen into Taehyung’s trap.

After a long shower and finally slipping into his old clothes that smelled only like him, Jungkook felt a bit better. Jimin was waiting for him in the kitchen, handing him some hot chocolate with marshmallows. Jungkook took them, grateful for the burning heat against his tongue.

It distracted him from his racing thoughts. He had checked himself out in the mirror after he had showered and his neck was just as bad as he had worried. He was covered in hickeys.

He was such a failure of an alpha. Had let himself be marked up like this while drunk. Everyone was going to think less of him now. At least the way Jimin ran his hand over his back, soothingly rubbing it and releasing calming pheromones, brought a little bit of comfort.

Jungkook really was an icon of luck. Pure, unadulterated luck. Of course he’d see Taehyung. He’d been on campus for two hours and of course they had crossed paths.

Taehyung was sitting by his usual table in the cafeteria, talking to some of his friends. Unlike Jungkook, who had put way too much concealer on his neck and chest, he didn’t even bother hiding the hickeys. Just displayed them openly with the low cut t-shirt he was wearing.

His friends laughed and Jungkook assumed he was telling a story. Maybe about how he and Jungkook had fucked. Jungkook grimaced.

He quickly moved across the room, hoping he’d get out a view before Taehyung could spot him, but once again… Jungkook simply was what you would call lucky. When he glanced back at the table he found that Taehyung had turned into his direction.

When he and Jungkook made eye contact he grinned and waved his hand. Jungkook could feel his face flush. He quickly hurried to the exit of the cafeteria, hearing the group behind him laugh again. This was the worst… the fucking worst.

He spent the next few days trying to keep a low profile. His makeup skills weren’t good enough to really cover the hickeys on his neck. He had simply made them less noticeable.

He was once again sitting by one of the tables in the cafeteria, eating his lunch, when a girl he didn’t know approached him. She was probably around his age… maybe even a bit older. When they made eye contact she smiled brightly before slipping onto the bench opposite of him.

“I finally found you.”

Jungkook was confused. Why had she been searching for him? He had no idea who she was, although her face seemed oddly familiar in a way. He couldn’t quite pinpoint it though.

“You were looking for me?” He couldn’t help move his hand to his neck, casually trying to cover the hickeys. During every single conversation he had he felt somewhat conscious about them. Taehyung hadn’t held back at all. Even days later they were still as noticeable as they had been in the beginning.

“Yeah, I was. I wanted to say thank you. I know we hardly talked but you really helped me out back there.” She pushed her hair back, revealing a few piercings dangling from her ears.

Jungkook just furrowed his brows, not entirely sure what to say. He hadn’t talked to anyone in days, mainly due to his attempts to avoid anyone finding out about what had happened, so he felt a bit weird about some stranger just sitting down and talking to him. Especially when she seemed to think he had helped her in some way.

“I have no clue what you’re talking about.”

She blinked at him, seemingly confused. Her smile faltered for a second, but then she shook her head. “You were at the party last sunday, weren’t you?”

He nodded and she let out a sigh of relief. “Okay good… I thought I had the wrong guy for a second.”

“What did I do? I kind of blacked out around… eleven… I think-” Jungkook found himself asking. Maybe she could give him some answers. At least she knew more about what had happened than he did. Even if it had probably been before the whole Taehyung dilemma.

“Oh.” She opened her mouth for a few times. Then she giggled. “Holy shit, you actually can’t remember any of that?”

That ? Didn’t sound too good in Jungkook’s ears. What was that that she was referring to?

“Mind elaborating?”

And she did. About halfway through her story… at the point that actually involved her meeting Jungkook and… well… Taehyung was when it all came back. When he remembered a lot of things he hadn’t be able to recall before.

Slowly the pieces of the puzzle were aligning and he really wasn’t sure how happy he should be because things had been… quite different from what he had originally thought.

Jungkook staggered up the stairs. There were people everywhere, sitting on the steps, leaning against the wall, talking and joking. At some point Jungkook had to ask a group of girls sitting right on the top of the stairs to move and they did, but not without giving him a compliment on how he was slaying the outfit.

A nice little confidence boost.

Taehyung and the alpha disappeared into one of the rooms and Jungkook found himself unsure of what to do now. He didn’t want to spy but at the same time he was kind of curious about how… alphas hooked up with one another.

In the end he simply settled down by the stairs and talked to the girls there. It was quite fun. He couldn’t stop his mind from wandering to what Taehyung was probably doing currently, but listening to all the gossip was a lot more interesting than he’d originally thought.

Not that he could remember any of the names they had mentioned, but the mere drama in their voices as they revealed who had cheated on who… Jungkook lived for it.

After what could have been hours or maybe just minutes the door to the room opened again and Jungkook watched the boy he had seen make out with Taehyung before squeeze past them. The girls whistled, clearly aware of what had transpired in the room, and the boy simply shook his head, not even trying to hide his amused smile.

Jungkook looked at the door, but Taehyung had to leave yet… unless there was another door leading out of the room, but he doubted that. He had no clue what really possessed him to get up, quickly bidding his farewells to the girls before moving towards the door. Probably the alcohol. He certainly wouldn’t have done this if he hadn’t been as drunk.

Given the state he was in it almost felt… alright to ask Taehyung about how these things worked. How he could do this and still feel like he was a proper alpha. Curiosity and alcohol won over pride and his beliefs of how he should act as he pushed the door to the room open, glancing inside.

The thought that Taehyung might still be naked hadn’t even come to his mind. Luckily he wasn’t, instead he comfortably sat on the bed in his underwear, typing away on his phone. When Jungkook entered he looked up, his eyes turning into dangerous slits as he recognized who it was.

“Uhm… Mind if I come in for a second?” Jungkook asked a bit awkwardly, still halfway covered by the door.

For a second Taehyung didn’t say anything, but then he sighed and patted the bed next to him. “Alright. Come in.”

Jungkook only realized how fucked out Taehyung looked once he staggered closer. His hair was a mess, his lips a bit swollen and red and there were some red spots on his shoulders and chest… the kind that appeared when someone held onto you just a bit too tightly.

He so had had sex in here. For some reason the thought made Jungkook feel that sense of curiosity again.

Taehyung smelt good and familiar as he moved closer. The wooden scent made Jungkook feel content and at home… just for once he felt like he could stop thinking and just go with what he wanted to do.

He sat down on the bed, right there next to Taehyung. The alpha didn’t seem too uncomfortable with the aspect of being on display like this. Well, it wasn’t like Jungkook was any less on display.

“Nice outfit. Jimin picked that out for you, right? Boy knows what looks good on people.” For a second Taehyung smiled at the mention of Jimin and Jungkook felt bad that he had ruined his chances at being friends with Taehyung. Because part of him wanted to be, but another part of him was also fucking scared because Taehyung was really fucking intimidating.

“Yeah, he did.” Jungkook tugged at the tanktop. “He really does have great taste.”

Taehyung mustered him for a few seconds and suddenly Jungkook felt really, really exposed. He felt like Taehyung could see everything. From his stomach to his fucking soul.

“What brought you here? Just stumbled in here by accident?” Taehyung asked, moving a bit to the side make space on the bed next to him. He was asking Jungkook to join him… and Jungkook wasn’t too sure how to feel about that.

But in the end he did because Taehyung’s scent helped soothe his nerves and made him feel comfortable. He knew that if he hadn’t been as drunk as he currently was his alpha would have howled in protest… but right now it was probably knocked out from all the alcohol. He didn’t feel as threatened by Taehyung as he usually did… the urge to claw the other alpha’s eyes out wasn’t there.

He just felt awkward and embarrassed at the prospect of wearing this little clothing.

“I’m not sure.” he admitted, because what dignity did he have left to lose now? “I just watched you make out with that guy down in the living room and it made me curious. How does that work? An alpha with another alpha? How do you not tear out each other’s throats?”

Taehyung chuckled, leaning back against the wall behind him. From the way he moved Jungkook could tell that he had to be at least a little drunk too. Not as wasted as Jungkook probably, but not sober either.

“It’s about balancing that fine line between tearing each other’s throats and having sex.” He turned to Jungkook. “If you wanna hook up with an alpha you need to learn how to control the urge to constantly battle for dominance. Some is alright, but when you do it too much during kissing… or fucking, a bit of testing your limits and teasing can quickly turn into real anger.”

Jungkook listened closely, curious because that sounded difficult. Hell, he couldn’t get himself to apologize for something he knew had been wrong of him. Taehyung had to have amazing self control if he managed to balance that… hold back and control the urge to fight for dominance. Something that came so natural to alphas.

“That’s impressive.” Jungkook stated, looking down at his hands. “I couldn’t imagine that. My alpha goes batshit crazy if it feels like someone is even… looking at it the wrong way.”

Taehyung chuckled. “Oh really? Wouldn’t have noticed.” It was an obvious jab and Jungkook probably would have gotten pissed about this at any other time, but not right now. Not when the soft scent of moss and woods… and rain… he’d never noticed that subtle note before, was making his mind fuzzy.

Instead he leaned his head back, giggling. “Fair enough.”

Taehyung next to him moved a bit, shifting to face Jungkook’s direction. “You seem different right now. Everything alright?”

“Yeah yeah, this is normal. I’m a lot more honest and calm when I’m drunk. Makes the fucking pride and all the boasting go away.” He was mainly quoting what Jimin had said in the past, but right now he could see what the omega had meant.

Taehyung laughed. A genuine laugh. This had to be the first time Jungkook had heard that sound. “Wow. That’s unexpected. I honestly expected you to be the type who gets louder when they are drunk.”

Jungkook shook his head. “Yeah no. Makes my alpha shut up for once. I like not having to worry about what people think every second.”

“You know, that’s something you can achieve even without being drunk. Just takes a lot of discipline.” Taehyung offered and his voice sounded a lot softer now than what Jungkook was used to. The scent around him almost seemed to lul Jungkook in. Made him want to wrap himself in one of the blankets and sleep, but he couldn’t allow himself to do that.

For the first time since they had met he was actually having a proper conversation with Taehyung without any growling and glaring and trying to bite each other’s throats. He liked it. Jimin had told him so many positive things about Taehyung, but his alpha hadn’t let him get closer. Not when Taehyung’s presence gave him inferiority complexes.

“My alpha is really fucking loud. I doubt it would work just like that.”

Taehyung shrugged. “The reason he’s that loud in the first place is because you let him. You need to force him… make him accept things he would usually find unacceptable.”

“What kind?” Jungkook asked, genuinely curious. Maybe he could actually get some advice he could use to tone down his pride, at least a bit.

“Do things that would make you really uncomfortable.” Taehyung grinned cheekily. “Maybe something like apologizing.” It was obvious what he was talking about.

Jungkook opened his mouth, but Taehyung quickly brought his hand up to stop him. “Not right now. When your alpha is back and working again.”

For a second Jungkook said nothing, letting the words sink in, but then he nodded slowly. Maybe he really should try. After talking to Taehyung like this… maybe it would get easier to admit that he had been kind of at fault.

“I… I’ll try.” Jungkook nodded, sitting up and moving around to properly face Taehyung as well. Had the alpha always been this beautiful? His eyes were that dark ashen color, similar to the one of his hair. His shoulders muscular, waist thin but stomach toned. The way he looked probably had most omegas on campus yearn for his attention. 

For a second Jungkook’s eyes caught on the fine trail of hair leading from his navel down to his… Jungkook snapped his focus back to Taehyung, who had that playful grin on his lips. But unlike before it didn’t feel mean… just that. Playful. He had been caught.

“What else can I do to learn how to control my alpha better?” Maybe he should have felt embarrassed at the fact that he was asking Taehyung about this, but that was all just part of the problem… why the fuck should he feel embarrassed about asking Taehyung for help? Stupid pride.

“What is something your alpha absolutely despises? How can you really set him off?”

Wow, Jungkook really was out here plotting against his alpha with Taehyung. It was kind of fun. Felt like they were in some kind of agent movie, on a secret mission.

It didn’t take him long to find an answer. “Hickeys… I really hate hickeys.”

Taehyung chuckled. “Real alpha, aren’t you?” He reached his hand out and ran it over Jungkook’s hair… and while it did feel a bit weird Jungkook kind of liked it. Taehyung’s rainy scent washed over him - now even more prominent - and he closed his eyes.

“Actually I hate that too.” Taehyung admitted, pressing his hand to Jungkook’s cheek before teasingly squeezing it. Jungkook snapped his eyes open, realizing that he couldn’t just fall asleep here on the spot, no matter how comfortable that sounded.

“I have an idea.” Taehyung started, gesturing Jungkook to move a bit closer. “How about we play a game. Ever heard of two truths one lie?”

Jungkook shook his head. Maybe he had played it once, but he couldn’t remember well.

“Okay, so we take turns in telling three small stories or facts about ourselves. One of these facts or stories is a lie. The other person has to guess which one.” Jungkook nodded. So far everything was clear. “And then there is the additional rule that the winner of each round gets to give the loser a hickey.”

Jungkook could feel some competitiveness flash up within him. He nodded again. This sounded kind of fun. At least in the drunk state he was in. “Sure. Who’ll start?”

“Me. Just to give an example.” Taehyung suggested and Jungkook nodded again, sitting up just a bit straighter.

“Okay so… first, my parents had to buy me a hamster when I was a child because they had made a deal with me that if I got an A on a certain exam they would buy me one. I made zero mistakes on that exam even though I sucked at math.” He moved  slightly, the muscles on his stomach flexing, and just for a second Jungkook’s gaze trailed down again, but he quickly focused back on what Tae was saying.

“Second… my parents actually got me tested three times to make sure whether I actually was an alpha because I come from a family of omegas. And third…” Taehyung looked up at the ceiling. “I had my first time in this exact room.” He pointed at the bed. Jungkook was pretty damn sure Taehyung was not the one living here, so to his drunk mind that seemed to be the least plausible thing.

“The third is a lie.”

Taehyung grinned at him. “Are you sure?”

Jungkook nodded. “Yeah.”

After a few seconds of dramatic silence Taehyung nodded, a soft smile that did something to Jungkook playing around his lips. “You’re right. The third is a lie. Although I did lose my virginity at a party like this in one of the rooms they had there.”

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. “Sounds like you were good at making bad decisions.”

Taehyung sighed, looking back up at the ceiling. “Yeah, I really was. You can give me a hickey now.”

Wow, he had totally forgotten about the fact that hickeys didn’t just appear just like that. You actually had to make them. “Isn’t that gonna be pretty awkward?”

“It is if you make it awkward.” There was that playful grin again.

“I won’t.” Jungkook quickly said, moving towards Taehyung. If Taehyung said it didn’t have to be awkward then it didn’t have to be awkward. Period. It wasn’t like he hadn’t given others hickeys before… just not in this kind of situation. Not with another alpha.

Taehyung bared his neck and it made Jungkook’s heart race in his chest. Something about this powerful alpha baring his neck at Jungkook made him feel very content… especially given how relaxing and reassuring Taehyung’s scent was. It messed with Jungkook’s head. Made him want to nose at Taehyung’s neck instead of just giving him a hickey… but he knew that would have made it weird so instead he moved to press his lips against Taehyung’s neck and sucked.

He took his sweet time, making sure the spot would be properly visible. Maybe it was also partly due to the fact that he enjoyed tasting Taehyung on his tongue. He felt warm and satisfied like this… but then he had to let go, the haze fogging his mind somewhat lifting as he moved back.

There was a red and purplish spot on Taehyung’s neck where Jungkook had sucked at his skin. He knew that it would settle into a darker color soon.

Taehyung didn’t look completely unaffected either. His eyes were a bit glossed over as he looked at Jungkook… and just for a second neither of them said anything, but then Taehyung seemed to snap out of it, shaking his head and looking back down at the ground.

“It’s your turn now.”

Jungkook took a couple of seconds to gather his thoughts. “First… I’m an only child. Secondly… I actually presented way too early and third… my favorite color is blue.” Wow, those had been somewhat easy to come up with.

He expectantly looked at Taehyung, waiting for the alpha’s verdict.

“I…” He seemed to be thinking about the different options. “I think that it’s also your third.” He nodded as if confirming it for himself.

Jungkook clicked his tongue. “What gave it away?”

Taehyung leaned back onto his hands, smiling proudly at the fact that he had gotten it right. “Jimin mentioned you being an only child and I can see the second… but the last doesn’t feel right. Too generic. Which color is it?”

Why was Jungkook happy about losing? Something had to be wrong with his head right now. “For some weird reason I like purple.”

“Purple is a beautiful color.” Taehyung moved a bit closer. A bit too close to be casual. But then Jungkook remembered what the game was about in the first place. For him it wasn’t as easy to bare his neck and grant Taehyung access to his weakest spot… but he forced himself to. Because he really wanted to learn. Learn how to stop his alpha from constantly controlling all of his behavior.

“Good boy.” He knew Taehyung was teasing, but he could feel blood rush to his cheeks as Taehyung moved to straddle him, his hands wrapping around Jungkook’s neck before pressing his lips against the side with his scent gland.

Once again Jungkook felt dizzy because of the close proximity of Taehyung’s scent. It washed over him, numbing all his senses, only leaving the overpowering feeling of Taehyung’s lips on his neck behind. And then he was gone again… the seconds passing way too quickly.

Just for a moment their eyes locked, Taehyung still straddling Jungkook… and there was some tension between them. Way too much of it. Jungkook was drunk, not stupid… but then Taehyung moved away and it was probably for the best. Jungkook wasn’t in any state to make good decisions like with who to hook up with. Just like his pride, his sense for reason had been swept away by alcohol.

“It’s your turn again.” He cleared his throat, trying to act like that hadn’t happened just now.

“Okay. Uhm… first, I used to really like hiking, but then my mother discovered her love for hiking as well. She kind of ruined it for me after that because she kept forcing me to go.” Taehyung stared up at the ceiling, pressing his lips into a thin line, seemingly not content with what he had just said. “Nevermind, let me go again. That’s a super boring fact.” He chuckled before sitting up a bit straighter, his eyes glinting.

This was kind of fun. Taehyung was a lot more fun to hang around than Jungkook had thought in the first place. Though it wasn’t much of a surprise considering how many friends he had. There had to be a reason people kept crowding around Taehyung.

“So first… I have accidentally played homewrecker, or rather relationship breaker before... secondly…” Taehyung grinned broadly. “... Jimin and I actually hooked up once when we were both drunk.”

Jungkook… wasn’t quite sure what to think of that. Sure, Taehyung and Jimin were really, really close, but Jimin had never mentioned anything like that.

“And third-” Taehyung seemed to think for a couple of seconds. “I’ve always been attracted to alphas. Even when I was a child.”

Considering which option could have been the lie Jungkook bit his lip. All of them sounded like they could be true… none really stood out to him, so he simply picked the first one as the wrong one.

Taehyung took his sweet time answering, dramatically drumming on the bed before grinning widely.

“You’re wrong. The second was the lie. Jimin and I have always been close, but hooking up with one another was never even on the table. He’s a good friend, but far from my type.” He smiled, supporting his body on his hands. “Although he is really good for cuddling. I don’t like cuddling with hook ups because that makes it easy to catch unwanted feelings, so Jimin is a good way to get my big spoon time. Especially because he craves so much attention.”

Jungkook knew that side of Jimin way too well. The one that would sprawl across his legs and ask for belly rubs. At some point Jungkook had thought that maybe he liked Jimin, but those feelings had simply slipped away as they had gotten closer. Jimin was a great friend, but he got Taehyung when he said, that he had no interest in more than being friends.

“Having something like that seems nice.” Jungkook admitted. “I can never get myself to relax around my partners even when I’m dating… too much pride to show any sign of weakness. I automatically try to act indifferent even when I get hurt. Kinda sucks, but well.”

When Jungkook looked up Taehyung’s eyes were soft. A warm but sad smile on his lips. “I know all to well what that feels like… but I can also tell you it gets better when you learn to do it anyways. Showing that you have emotions isn’t a sign of weakness. It takes a lot of strength.”

Jungkook was drunk and had no clue how much of this he was actually going to remember… but hearing Taehyung say that felt good. Jungkook tended to get emotional over the most trivial things. He suppressed most of those emotions on a day to day basis, but maybe he’d get to show them more. Maybe if he worked hard enough, he could get his alpha to accept that it wasn’t weakness.

“Thank you…” He smiled up at Taehyung. “What was the homewrecker thing you mentioned?”

The alpha in front of him grinned, once again moving a bit closer. It felt right to be this close. Their legs almost touching as Taehyung started telling his little story.

“It’s a bit embarrassing, but a while ago I met an alpha at a party. We hooked up, had great chemistry and ended up exchanging numbers. Fast forward to a month later, a girl knocks on my door, teary eyed, face swollen and covered in snot.” He paused shaking his head. “I offered her some tea since I had no clue what was going on. She took my offer, thanking me and everything… really sweet girl. Turns out they were dating. Some friends had shown her pictures of him with me and she had come to find out if it was actually true. Of course I told her. I’m not going to help some dick cheat on his girlfriend just because he had some fantasies about fucking another alpha.” He pressed his lips into a thin line and Jungkook had no idea what to say. Alphas cheating sadly wasn't a rare occurrence and he wasn’t too surprised that Taehyung had somewhat been involved in something like this before.

Alphas with big egos fucked other alphas. Someone who had a big ego was also more likely to cheat on their girlfriend. It made sense… somewhat at least.

“I gave her some ice cream and let her rant for hours. At some point Jimin dropped in as well and he totally joined in on complaining about alphas being huge dicks.” Jungkook couldn’t help snickering at the thought of Jimin just bursting into the room, ready to spill the tea.

She ended up staying at our place for a week. Never talked to the girl before, but she was comfortable there and she couldn’t go back to her boyfriend’s and her shared apartment, so Jimin offered that she could sleep on the couch… It’s been two years now, but we’re still pretty close friends. Sometimes bonding happens at the weirdest times.”

Jungkook chuckled, shaking his head. “Of course you’d win a friend by helping someone cheat… I’m not even surprised.”

Taehyung gasped in fake offense. “How dare you say such outrageous things…”

“Try to stop me.” Jungkook giggled, provokingly poking Taehyung’s cheek. Why was he having this much fun? “Okay, and the third fact? You said you have always been attracted to alphas? That was true?”

Taehyung nodded. They were still sitting way too close but Jungkook didn’t mind. Right now Taehyung didn’t feel threatening. Neither of them was puffing their chests… or even trying to fight for dominance. There was no need for that right now.

“It is. When I was younger I have always been impressed by the way alphas carried themselves. Back then I thought it was because I wanted to be like them, but I think it was just what appealed to me.”

Jungkook nodded. When he had been younger… he honestly hadn’t spent too much time thinking about everything. It was only when he had presented that the whole dynamic thing had really started to have an impact on his life. How could it not when Jungkook felt threatened by every third alpha?

“It’s hickey time.” Taehyung grinned lazily.

Jungkook nodded once again, tilting his head to give Taehyung access to his neck. The alpha moved, the warm, familiar scent once again washing over him, and then he felt Taehyung’s lips on his neck again. They were soft and  slightly rough as Taehyung sucked Jungkook’s skin into his mouth, teasingly biting down on it.

And Jungkook would have felt mortified in any other situation - an alpha biting his neck - but right now he just felt comfortable like this. Playing with Taehyung was fun… because rank didn’t matter. It was simply them in their purest state.

Just for once Jungkook got to spend time with Taehyung without having the urge to tear the other alpha’s throat… and he genuinely liked it. After this… he had to make sure that he and Taehyung continued to get along. Because Jungkook wanted to have Taehyung in his life.

He really liked the alpha.

Taehyung continued sucking for a few seconds longer and Jungkook could feel his tongue against his skin… it was weird. Really weird, but not bad. Then Taehyung pulled back, smiling. “It’s your turn again.”

Jungkook nodded, quickly searching for things he could say. Nothing came to his mind so he just decided to open up a bit. “Okay first… I kind of struggle with accepting certain things. I like something, but it’s not alpha like and I feel embarrassed about it so I don’t want to admit to liking it even though I really do.” He watched Taehyung nod, signaling him to continue. “Secondly, I lost my virginity when I was fifteen. Third…” He really had no idea what to say. He racked his brain for something Taehyung could actually work with. “Jimin is probably the best friend I have ever had.”

Taehyung looked at him for a few seconds, furrowing his brows as he considered the options. Then he nodded, looking confident in his answer. “I think the second one is the lie.”

“You got me.” Jungkook smiled. “I actually only had sex for the first time two years ago, when I had just turned nineteen.”

“That’s surprising.” Taehyung genuinely looked surprised. “You have a reputation for sleeping around.”

Jungkook leaned back, suddenly he felt a bit choked up this close to Taehyung. “It’s true that I sleep around. I like gathering different types of experiences, but I was really fucking shy in high school. I only got more confident after sleeping with my first girlfriend.” He wasn’t sure why he had the urge to say this, but for some reason he didn’t want Taehyung to make assumptions about him that weren’t true. “It’s not like I’m against the idea of a relationship. Just haven’t found anyone who makes me want to settle down yet.”

Taehyung raised his eyebrow, grinning cheekily. “Good to know.” He leaned back, eyeing Jungkook curiously. “Have you ever been in love?”

It was the kind of question Taehyung was probably only asking because they were both drunk as fuck and neither of them had any  filter.

“Certainly used to think I was with my first relationship. Saw her and the world through rose-colored glasses and everything was perfect… but then we broke up and I realized that I didn’t even miss her that much. Missed being in a relationship… having a warm body to sleep next to, but I didn’t miss her . So no… I don’t think I have ever been in love.” Even now when Jungkook looked back… he didn’t feel much towards her. No burning hatred… no sadness. God, he couldn’t even remember her face all that well.

He turned back to face Taehyung. “How about you?”

The alpha in front of him shrugged. “Not really. First I tried dating omegas and yeah, that didn’t go too well. Then I realized I liked alphas and for some reason that turned into only sex. Most alphas that hook up with other alphas don’t want it as something permanent and it’s not like I mind. I don’t feel like I need a person I love to be happy. I like sex. Being in love would be nice, but I’m content with my life as it is too.”

Jungkook couldn’t help but smile. “That’s probably the healthiest view on love I have heard in a while. Usually people are either ‘I need to find my one true love…’ or ‘Love? Miss me with that shit.’. Thinking that way… fits you.” Even he had no idea what that was supposed to mean, but it really did feel like that.

Taehyung was this confident, strong alpha Jungkook couldn’t help but be impressed and intimidated by. It seemed like he just had everything under control… there was nothing about him that seemed unstable. His view on love just reflected that.

“Do you want to love?” Taehyung asked, leaning forward curiously.

“I think I do want to find someone at some point… but it doesn’t exactly have to be a partner. I want someone I know I can trust and know that they are there for me. Doesn’t exactly have to be a love interest. Maybe just a friend.” He remembered what he had said before. “Actually I think I somewhat found that in Jimin. He’s not one to judge or jump to conclusions but at the same time I always feel like he knows what I’m thinking. What I really want. I mentioned me not admitting to liking things before. Jimin seems to always be suggesting just exactly those things and then forces me to go along with them.”

He pulled his feet closer to his body, staring at his socks. “I like cute stuff a lot… I never tell anyone because it’s not alpha like and the thought of what people may think makes me nervous… and then Jimin just kind of started bringing stuffies over to my place at some point but never took them back home with him. When I asked him what that was about he just said something like ‘I want to feel at home at your place too’... but he doesn’t have any stuffies in his room. I’m pretty damn sure he was just giving me an excuse to have them… they are really adorable too.” He chuckled. God, if he hadn’t been drunk right now his alpha would have been dying of embarrassment. Because how dare he tell anyone.

“Wow… that’s… very Jimin.” Taehyung simply stated, shaking his head in amusement. “Liking stuffies really isn’t bad though. I like them too.”

Jungkook sighed. “It’s okay if someone like you likes it, because you’re so alpha no one would dare claim anything else. But I have never been that alpha. I like stuffies, I am not the biggest fan of sports and my favorite color is purple. I hardly match any descriptions of the typical alpha.” He averted his eyes, suddenly no longer able to stand Taehyung’s gaze. Taehyung was what Jungkook would have loved to be but simply wasn’t.

“Wanna know what I see when I look at you?” Suddenly the room seemed to fill up with Taehyung’s scent, even more so than it had before. Rain and moss… Jungkook could feel his racing heart gradually slow down again.

When he looked up and made eye contact with Taehyung the alpha’s gaze was soft. In a way reassuring. Jungkook swallowed. “What do you see?”

“You’re handsome, tall, muscular, carry yourself with confidence in your step… but then you also seem unsure of yourself. Because you want to fit in with what you believe the perfect alpha should be like… but there is no perfect alpha. There is no alpha that has no weaknesses. You think I have never felt like I wasn’t alpha enough? You think there is one alpha out there that has never doubted himself? It’s normal to be unsure of yourself sometimes, but that doesn’t make you any less alpha. Nor does liking stuffies or the color purple. It’s what makes you human.” Taehyung sounded so sure of himself, of what he was saying that Jungkook wanted to believe him.

Because even though his alpha was scared of Taehyung… part of him really respected him. “Have you actually felt like you weren’t enough of an alpha before?”

Taehyung smiled, reaching out his hand and patting Jungkook’s cheek. Jungkook couldn’t help but close his eyes, appreciating how reassuring Taehyung’s hand felt against his cheek. “You can’t imagine how often…believe it or not, but I talk to many alphas.” He chuckled and Jungkook couldn’t help but smile. Oh what a surprise. Taehyung spent lots of time with alphas. “And I haven't talked to anyone so far who hasn’t felt like a proper alpha at least once.”

For some reason he believed Taehyung. Maybe he just wanted to believe it, or maybe he knew that he could trust Taehyung… but it helped. Helped that small part of him that felt like he was just posing as an alpha.

“It’s your turn to give me a hickey.” Jungkook stated matter of factly. After all he had lost the last round. Taehyung had guessed which one had been the lie.

Taehyung grinned, moving closer again. “It’s a pleasure.”

Once again Jungkook felt himself wrapped up in Taehyung’s comforting scent as he sucked a hickey into Jungkook’s skin. And once again Jungkook closed his eyes, simply enjoying the proximity, the alcohol still running through his system numbing how well he could feel his own face. It was a bit weird.

“You and the guy before hooked up, didn’t you? Friend of yours?” Jungkook asked, mainly out of curiosity. The thought that he was sitting on the same bed they had probably fucked on was a bit weird, but Jungkook was too drunk to really mind.

“Not a friend… I just met him today and he seemed to be into me.” Taehyung muttered before going back to sucking at the spot, teasingly biting down before moving away again. Jungkook found himself wishing Taehyung would stay there… but he knew he was being unreasonable. It was just a game.

“Hooking up with another alpha… do you have a preferred like… position or-” “Position? You mean if I prefer to top or bottom?”

Jungkook nodded, well aware that the questions he was asking were turning borderline to too personal but he was curious and drunk and he didn’t care about lines that could be crossed like this. He was having a good time and talking to Taehyung was fun… and he had no idea how all of this worked.

“I like both. There is something relaxing about giving up control, but being in control is really-” He searched for the right word. “-intense. Especially with another alpha. Having them fall apart under my hands is a feeling I can’t even properly describe. It really satisfies your alpha. Makes you feel proud that you can do that to someone.”

Okay, Jungkook wasn’t turned on. Not at all.

“That sounds interesting.” Jungkook couldn’t even look Taehyung in the eye. Instead he played with the fishnets he was wearing. Part of him was happy Taehyung was being this open with him, sating Jungkook’s curiosity, but at the same time the answers made Jungkook feel the tiniest bit awkward.

It wasn’t like this was something that had nothing to do with him. Jungkook was an alpha too. Taehyung was attracted to alphas and was telling him about his preferences for hookups. Maybe Jungkook wasn’t drunk enough after all if that still made him feel embarrassed.

“It really is. Have you ever considered hooking up with an alpha?” The question made blood shoot to Jungkook’s face. He almost felt caught. Caught because a small part of him had enjoyed Taehyung’s lips on his neck… had yearned for Taehyung to touch him more. Jungkook decided to blame the alcohol for that… he tended to get more affection craving when he was drunk. It was probably just that. Just like he enjoyed Jimin spooning him when he was drunk. There was nothing to it but his usual lack of affection. Taehyung had been nice to him and he smelled familiar. That’s why Jungkook felt that way.

“I never really heard about it until Jimin told me that one of the reasons he felt comfortable around you was because you were into alphas. I wasn’t even aware that that was an actual thing until then… and you have seen what I’m like around you. My alpha can’t stand when someone else takes control, so I doubt that I’d be able to do it even if I wanted to.”

Taehyung nodded before patting  Jungkook’s leg and moving a bit further away again. “It’s my turn now. Should I?”

Jungkook nodded. They had to continue… he liked this game. It gave him the chance to find out more about Taehyung. “Go ahead.”

“Okay… so first of, the first time I kissed someone I was..”

They continued just like that for quite some time. At some point Jungkook lost his t-shirt since he’d run out of space for more hickeys around his neck. His pants he slipped off simply for comfort. It wasn’t like he was especially shy about his body and the fact that Taehyung in front of him was just as naked and they were constantly sucking at each other’s necks… it made the lines blur a bit.

Since things were moving quite slowly, usually talking a lot in between rounds, they simply switched to throwing Jungkook’s shoes at the waste bin, one miss, one hickey, while they talked about all kinds of things. Some casual conversation, some going deeper.

When they grew bored of that they went back to their original game of two truths one lie.

It didn’t take long for Jungkook to lose every sense of time, the hickeys on his and Taehyung’s necks and bodies growing more and more in numbers. He felt oddly comfortable like this. Learning more about Taehyung. Sharing things about himself. He felt like he’d finally gotten the chance to make up for being such a dick to Taehyung when they had first met… and actually ever since then.

He finally got to spend time with him like he had always wanted. He was just in the process of sucking a hickey on Taehyung’s thigh when the door swung open and a girl slipped inside the room, quickly closing it behind herself.

“I’m sorry about interrupt… what the hell?”

Both Taehyung and Jungkook were caught off guard, just staring at her as she started right back at them, opening her mouth in surprise. “The hell are you guys doing?”

Jungkook was the first to move back, his cheeks flushing red because he had gotten so caught up in this he hadn’t realized just how weird this had to be for anyone seeing them like this. They were sucking goddamn hickeys into each other’s skin… of course it was weird.

Taehyung answered for Jungkook. “Just playing a game. You seem to be in a hurry.”

She raised an eyebrow before chuckling. “Looks like a fun game…” She opened the door a bit, glancing outside before closing it again. “So... I know this is a bit random, but I need you guys’ help. There is this really creepy guy who keeps trying to approach me and he doesn’t take no as an answer. You don’t mind hiding a lady in need, do you?”

Jungkook quickly glanced around, searching for a spot for her to hide in, but Taehyung simply shook his head. “We won’t hide you. Come sit with us. He won’t be able to approach you here.” Taehyung patted the bed and Jungkook wasn’t too sure about this. Poor girl was running from a creep and now there were two half naked guys asking her to join them on the bed.

But she just glanced back at the door one last time, seemingly anxious, before moving towards the bed. “What are you guys playing?”

Okay, she was definitely drunk too. Jungkook could tell now that she was closer to them. While she had walked rather confidently she was blinking a bit too often to be completely sober. Also, who in their right mind would actually follow Taehyung’s suggestion?

“He has some issues with his alpha so we’re doing everything to piss his alpha off.” Taehyung simply stated. “He hates hickeys, so that’s what we’re doing.”

She chuckled, dropping down onto the edge of the bed. “Sounds fun.”

That exact same moment the door opened again, a guy, probably about a head shorter than Taehyung and Jungkook, entered the room. He was wearing a too tight t-shirt, his hair gelled back and just the way he moved said everything Jungkook had to know to guess what kind of person he was.

When he spotted the girl sitting by their bed his eyebrows furrowed in anger. “What the fuck is wrong with you? You run away from me just to fuck the first guys you stumble across?”

Absolutely charming character it seemed. The guy really couldn’t be any more dreamy. Jungkook moved without even really thinking, wrapping his arms around her from behind before glaring at the guy. He knew he was too drunk to give an actually intimidating alpha glare, but he also knew he could be intimidating even without it. “Who gave you the right to talk to my girlfriend like that? She said no. Learn when to let go.”

He could feel the girl underneath him hesitantly place her arms over Jungkook’s just to make it seem a bit more realistic.

“What the fuck is wrong with you, bitch? You could have just…” The guy didn’t get any further because Taehyung had gotten up, showing the guy his entire height and automatically showing off his trained body. Jungkook was pretty damn certain that that guy was not an alpha. And Taehyung was fucking scary even for an alpha.

And it worked. Gel hair moved back, although just a step. “What the hell is your deal? What does this have to do with you?” It was obvious he was just talking big, no confidence backing his words.

“You’re running after our girlfriend and not taking a no? I think that has a lot to do with me.” Taehyung snarled, the tone of his voice sending a shiver down Jungkook’s spine. Even though it wasn’t directed at him, that was fucking scary.

The guy’s face turned ghostly pale as he stared at Taehyung, seemingly considering his options before bolting out the door.

After waiting for a couple of seconds just to make sure he wouldn’t come back Jungkook moved away from the girl as Taehyung turned around too. “That guy shouldn’t dare bother you again.”

The girl let out a soft sigh of relief. “I’m sure he won’t… thank you.” Then she moved to look at Jungkook, then back at Taehyung before breaking out into a wide grin. “But I’m sorry to tell you two that I am not interested in dating alphas. I’m kind of into omegas. I know I look just this dateable, but I have to disappoint you… this…” She pointed at the three of them, before faking a very serious, very sad look. “Is just not going to work out.”

There was a short moment of silence before Taehyung and Jungkook snorted. She seemed nice.

“What a pity. I really thought our little hickey game would get us a girlfriend.” Taehyung put his hands on his heart before sitting back down on the bed.

She nodded, pressing her lips into a thin line. “I’m sure it will work on the next omega girl squeezing through this door. You guys were just unlucky…”

Jungkook couldn’t help but smile. This was kind of nice.

“I’ll leave now though. I’m really tired and I’ve had a bit too much to drink today.”

She was about to get up and leave when Taehyung grabbed her hand.

“Just stay here for a little bit. He might be waiting outside or something. You don’t have to talk to us. Just call a taxi and wait in here until it arrives.”

Jungkook couldn’t help feel a little warm at that. Taehyung was sweet… made sure she’d get home safe. He was probably the type of guy every omega girl’s parents would give all they had for… just to have him as their son in law.

For a few seconds the girl seemed to think about it, then she nodded. “Alright. I’ll call a taxi.” She did and they talked a bit, Taehyung being the one to mainly comfortably talk to her, probably because of how many girl friends he had. Jungkook took the time to gather his thoughts a bit.

He genuinely liked Taehyung. Which was weird given how uncomfortable he had made him before, but right now Jungkook felt so much warmth for Taehyung. It scared him. Because they had talked for a couple of hours and Jungkook was already in this deep.

Maybe he was just drunk… he got really affectionate whenever he was drunk… but this felt different. He really, really liked Taehyung.

After a few minutes the girl, Mina, got a call from her taxi driver, telling her he was there already. She hugged both of them, pretty much squeezing the soul out of them, and disappeared through the door.

For a couple of seconds they just sat there, neither of them saying anything. Taehyung was the first to speak up again. “She was sweet.”

Jungkook chuckled. “She really was.” For a second Jungkook hesitated, not sure whether to ask because maybe he would be crossing a line… but then he remembered what they had been doing before Mina had entered and threw that worry out of the window. Many lines had been crossed that night.

“Are you really only interested in alphas or have you ever found yourself interested in someone else?”

Taehyung turned around climbing back onto the bed to make himself comfortable again, leaning against the wall. “I thought I was into omegas when I was younger. Mainly because that’s what everyone expected me to like. It’s not that I don’t like omegas… they are really cute, look pretty and everything. It’s just… they do nothing for me sexually. Their scent, their character and the way they look… doesn’t turn me on. I have tried, but it just doesn’t give me anything. Hooking up with alphas on the other hand… is amazing.” Taehyung explained and for some reason Jungkook felt his heart rate speed up again.

“What makes it so amazing?” Jungkook asked, his voice somewhat breathy, but he didn’t care too much about it.

Taehyung patted the bed next to him, gesturing for Jungkook to sit down. He did, their arms and legs touching. He wasn’t willing to pull away… this felt nice.

“Sex with alphas is great because it leaves so many options open. There is no clear power dynamic given. It’s interesting every time. And I like the way alphas smell a lot more than I like omegas’ scents. I don’t like all the sweet smells.”

Jungkook stared at the other side of the room, his head not quite realizing as his mouth opened to say something. “I like your scent a lot. You smell really good. When I first met Jimin I thought it was his scent… I was really disappointed when I found out it wasn’t.”

He chuckled and turned to Taehyung, who was looking at him with a raised eyebrow. He didn’t exactly look offended. Just slightly amused.

Jungkook chuckled. “Maybe it wasn’t so bad after all.”

Taehyung sighed, but then he smiled. A smile that made Jungkook’s stomach tingle with an odd feeling of warmth and contentedness. Just how drunk was he?

“I like your scent too. You smell like lavender. My mother used to make me small lavender packs and put them under my pillow so I could sleep better.”

Jungkook wasn’t sure which one of them had made the first move. Maybe they both had, because suddenly Taehyung’s lips were on his, his hands moving to cup Jungkook’s jaw and his scent completely wrapping around him. Fresh rain in the middle of the woods.

Jungkook felt oddly sober as he pressed his hands against Taehyung’s chest. Never had he ever though he’d kiss another alpha… but here he was and it felt right. Taehyung’s scent, hands, lips… everything felt right.

He’d made many bad decisions in his life, but this wasn’t one of them. Getting drunk and starting up a conversation with Taehyung certainly wasn’t one of them.

They moved to lie down, Taehyung nosing at Jungkook’s neck, slowly but thoroughly scenting him. Jungkook keened at the affection, a soft rumble starting up in his chest before turning into a long, stretched out purr.

He felt safe and comfortable like this. In Taehyung’s arms.

They kissed again. Taehyung’s lips rough and soft at the same time. His hands wandering over Jungkook’s neck, shoulders, down to his waist. Jungkook couldn’t help but sigh contently, closing his eyes.

“I can’t believe this is happening.” Jungkook muttered tiredly when they separated again, Taehyung baring his neck and giving some space to let Jungkook scent him in exchange. There were no questions asked as to what this meant. Neither of them was sober enough to make that decision.

“I’d like to say I can, but I would be lying. I thought you despised me or something.” Taehyung muttered, baring his throat more as Jungkook moved to nose at his scent gland.

“I never really did. You scared me because you look really strong. My alpha tried to one up you or something…” Jungkook pressed his lips against Taehyung’s jaw and the alpha gave a content hum before wrapping his arms around Jungkook and pulling him closer.

“I’m glad this happened either way.”

Jungkook smiled, cuddling up to Taehyung. “Me too.”

Yeah… things had been… quite different from what he had thought. Mina had just finished telling about how everything had gone well with the taxi. That luckily her parents hadn’t heard her… But Jungkook was somewhere entirely else with his head.

Because suddenly he felt different about the hickeys on his neck. Really different. Still a bit weird about showing them off, but they weren’t the leftovers from a sad accidental one night stand. He and Taehyung hadn’t hooked up.

Suddenly he had the strong urge to call Jimin. Call him and ask for Taehyung’s phone number since they really had to talk. God, Jungkook kind of wanted to hear Taehyung’s voice. Just that.

He and Mina exchanged numbers before he quickly excused himself, saying he just remembered some things he had to talk to Taehyung about. Well, it wasn’t a lie at least. It just wasn’t that simple either.

He grabbed his phone from his pocket and dialed Jimin’s number. His best friend picked up on second ring.

“Jk. What do you need?” Wow, did he really call Jimin so rarely that Jimin just knew he needed something?

“Is Taehyung at your place right now?”

“Yeah, sorry, he is. Why? Did something happen? Should I come over?” Jimin sounded worried, but Jungkook quickly reassured him that everything was alright.

“Nothing happened. I just need to talk to Taehyung.”

“Taehyung?” This time Jimin sounded confused. “What would you need from Taehyung?”

Jungkook chuckled. “Long story. Don’t tell him I’m coming over... Gonna be there in twenty.”

With that he ended the call, jogging down the street. There was something he had to do… and part of him still had quite the issue with it, but he wanted to and he needed to. Because it really was time for him to swallow his fucking pride just for once.

Jimin was the one who opened the door, telling him that Taehyung was in his room. Jungkook thanked him before asking Jimin to do something else while he talked to Taehyung. The omega did look a bit worried but in the end went back to the living room to continue watching TV.

Jungkook knew which room was Taehyung’s even though he had never been inside before. When he opened the door the familiar scent of woods and moss washed over him. The room was just as he had imagined it. Comfortable, somewhat dark in design with a lot of brown and black shades, but it still felt warm in a weird way.

Taehyung was lying on his bed, reading. When he looked up to find Jungkook standing there he seemed surprised.

“Jungkook… that’s surprising.” He sat up, putting the book away.

For a second Jungkook felt that familiar spike of anxiety, the one he was used to getting whenever he saw Taehyung. His wolf panicking because there was a bigger, stronger wolf in front of him. But Jungkook ignored it, instead hesitantly stepping into the room. “Yeah, was surprising for me, too.”

Taehyung looked amused as he moved to sit on the edge of the bed. “What do you need?”

Jungkook took a deep breath before exhaling again. His alpha protested, but he simply chose to ignore it. “I need to apologize.”

Taehyung raised both eyebrows before a knowing smile played at his lips. So he did remember. Jungkook wasn’t surprised. Taehyung hadn’t seemed nearly as wasted as he had been. “Oh really. What do you need to apologize for?”

Jungkook moved closer, hesitantly taking Taehyung’s hand. His alpha was anxious, ready to bare its teeth if Taehyung showed any signs of aggression, but he didn’t. He didn’t even puff out his chest like he usually did. Instead he just let Jungkook take his hand, a soft smile playing at his lips as Jungkook did .

“I need to apologize for growling at you when we first met. You’re a really… impressive alpha and it made me anxious. I’m also sorry for constantly picking fights with you.” Once he had gotten the words to leave his mouth he felt better. His alpha was no longer protesting, simply moving to the back to watch.

Taehyung smiled. “I know. I’m happy you came here, Jungkookie.”

A warm, happy shiver ran down Jungkook’s spine. But no matter how happy and content he was with being in this room, holding Taehyung’s hand and being surrounded by the familiar scent of moss and woods, he had another question to ask.

“Why didn’t you say anything when we woke up? You could have said we didn’t hook up and told me about what happened.”

Taehyung held up eye contact for a couple of seconds before averting his eyes and grimacing. “Pettiness. My alpha was so pissed. How dare you forget about kissing me?” He gasped dramatically before shaking his head, a soft smile playing at his lips. “Also it might have been a tiny bit fun to see you so horrified at the aspect of us hooking up. I like teasing you.”

Jungkook pressed his lips into a line. “Very funny.”

Taehyung chuckled. “Come on, it was funny… kinda. I would have told you sooner or later. Once my alpha was content with his little revenge.”

A soft sigh left Jungkook’s lips as he moved to sit next to Taehyung. “What now?”

Taehyung shrugged, taking Jungkook’s hand and interlinking their fingers. “I’d say we date? We can try and if it doesn’t work out, whatever.”

To Jungkook’s surprise his alpha stayed mostly silent. Maybe shock therapy had worked in a way. Between an accidental one night stand where he let another alpha mark him up and dating another alpha after he had covered his body in hickeys… the second seemed by far the more favorable position for his alpha’s pride.

“I think I’d like that.” Jungkook chuckled. “No idea how this will work, but I think I would like that.”

Once again warmth seemed to spread through his whole body when Taehyung smiled. Jungkook had dated before. He’d been in relationships before, but none of them had felt like this. None of them could compare to the pure amount of happiness he felt right then and there.

And then Taehyung leaned forward and connected their lips in a kiss again. It was just like the first time. His scent seemed to wrap around Jungkook, making his mind go fuzzy and warm all over. The only big difference was that Jungkook wasn’t numb because of the alcohol.

Instead he felt everything. The rough warmth of Taehyung’s lips against his. His hands running over Jungkook’s body. The way Taehyung’s scent spiked with arousal. Jungkook knew it must have been the same for him.

Feeling Taehyung was overwhelming every time… in the best way possible.

But then Taehyung broke away, pressing one last kiss to Jungkook’s lips before moving towards the door and locking it. Jungkook liked the implications of that. Jimin was going to be worried… worried that they would kill each other, but that wasn’t Jungkook’s problem right now.

All he wanted was to feel Taehyung’s lips on his again. And he did just seconds later as Taehyung carefully pushed him back onto the bed. Jungkook’s alpha jumped at the threat and for just a second a growl made his chest vibrate, but Taehyung didn’t care. He ignored the warning, pressing his lips against Jungkook’s again instead. The vibrations died down right away as Jungkook melted into the sheets, feeling Taehyung’s heavy body above his.

For a second Taehyung moved back, looking down at Jungkook. Maybe he should have felt threatened with Taehyung’s weight holding his body in place… but he didn’t. He felt warm and comfortable like this. “Is this alright?”

Taehyung’s voice was rough. His eyes needy as he looked down at Jungkook. Of course it was alright… more than alright. Maybe they should be taking more time with this. Jungkook had never been with an alpha… had no idea about the issues that could maybe rise from it, but he didn’t care. All he wanted to do was clash their lips together and get lost in Taehyung.

“It is. It really is. Fuck, it’s great.” He smiled, looking up at Taehyung. The alpha was beautiful. Before Jungkook had always tried not to acknowledge it too much… there was no reason for an alpha to think another alpha was attractive. But Taehyung really was. Jungkook couldn’t believe that this was going to be his now.

Taehyung brought his hand up and slowly ran it through Jungkook’s hair. Jungkook sighed at the touch, closing his eyes and completely giving control to Taehyung. Maybe they should have fought for dominance, who’d get to top who, but Jungkook didn’t feel like topping Taehyung. Maybe just for once giving up control would be nice.

Taehyung moved down to his neck, nipping at his skin before teasingly biting down just beneath Jungkook’s scent gland. He couldn’t help the moan escaping him. Taehyung moved farther, up kissing along his jawline.

“Smell so good…” Taehyung muttered softly, pressing his nose to Jungkook’s scent gland before inhaling deeply. He bit down again, sending shivers down Jungkook’s spine.

“Please…” Jungkook wasn’t even sure what he was begging for. Just looked at Taehyung because he wanted everything. Everything Taehyung could give him. The alpha above him grinned before moving down to kiss Jungkook again.

“You’re awfully good at letting go of control, considering this is the first time you are doing this.” Taehyung pressed another kiss to his lips before moving his hand down and easily slipping it underneath the fabric of Jungkook’s jeans and boxers.

Jungkook was embarrassingly hard already. The second Taehyung got into contact with his sensitive head, he couldn’t help a sharp intake of air. Taehyung looked content with his reaction, slowly running his hand over Jungkook’s hard on. Not that he could do much more within the tight confines of his jeans. So Taehyung helped Jungkook slip out of his jeans… and then t-shirt and then he got rid of his own clothes as well.

Jungkook had a strong sense of deja vu. They were back in their underwear… like when it had all started. The purple hickeys Jungkook had adorned Taehyung’s skin with were still clearly visible. They looked beautiful on him… maybe he was going to do this again.

Just seconds after Jungkook found himself back on his back, Taehyung leaning over him, a playful grin on his lips as he held Jungkook’s arms in place, softly growling at Jungkook. Jungkook’s alpha responded almost immediately by growling back. Taehyung didn’t seemed bothered by it, his chest still warningly rumbling as he pressed a kiss to Jungkook’s cheek first and then to his neck.

Jungkook’s growl grew louder when Taehyung moved closer to his scent gland, but so did Taehyung’s. Even with all the anxiety rising in his chest, Jungkook realised what Taehyung was doing. He was trying to get Jungkook’s alpha to submit completely to him.

Even then he couldn’t get his alpha to stop. Not when Taehyung was so dangerously close to his scent gland… Taehyung warningly bit down on the spot and just for a second the growling in Jungkook’s chest subsided… probably due to fear. Jungkook could feel it. The primal fear of having another alpha at his throat.

“Relax, Jungkook.” Taehyung muttered before continuing with his warning growl. Jungkook knew what he should do. But knowing things in theory and then making them reality had never been an easy task with his alpha.

“You say that like it’s easy.” Jungkook pressed out between gritted teeth.

“It’s not… I know that… but you know you can trust me, don’t you?”

He did. After that night they had spent in that bedroom Jungkook knew. It would have been a good time for Taehyung to show his true colors…what it had. Jungkook knew that Taehyung was the type of person that could be trusted… Taehyung was the type of person Jungkook wanted to trust.

He forced himself to relax, still feeling the vibrations of Taehyung’s chest against his arm as he nipped at the skin of his neck. Finally, after what felt like minutes but had probably been just a few seconds, the growling in Jungkook’s chest finally faded out.

After about ten seconds Taehyung stopped growling too, soothingly running his tongue over Jungkook’s scent gland. Jungkook closed his eyes, really enjoying the proximity.

“Have you ever done anything with your ass?” Taehyung asked against his neck, his hand slowly inching downwards before following the curve of his butt.

Jungkook shook his head, hesitating. “Kind of. Never sex, but Jimin got me a dildo for Christmas and told me to broaden my horizon, so I did.”

Taehyung chuckled, seemingly amused. “Isn’t it a complete taboo for alphas to play with their ass? How come you’re comfortable with that?”

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders. Taehyung’s hands on him felt good. “It’s okay when I’m alone. No one has to know.”

“You have made things a lot easier for us.” Taehyung chuckled, pressing one more kiss to Jungkook’s cheek before pulling back and helping Jungkook out of his underwear. Maybe the way Taehyung looked at him, really taking in the sight, should have made him feel uncomfortable, but he had slipped into an entirely different headspace.

All he wanted was to show Taehyung just how good he could be.

“Sure you want to do this today?” Taehyung asked softly. It was clear he wanted this just as much as Jungkook. Right here, right now… in this moment, but he actually cared enough to ask Jungkook if that was what he wanted too.

Jungkook couldn’t help but smile. “I really want to do this today… and now shove your goddamn fingers up my ass. I’m not a very patient person.” Jungkook really hoped that the shove part was a joke. He wasn’t doing things with that dildo frequently enough to go that route.

Taehyung chuckled but moved to grab lube from his nightstand… to Jungkook’s relief. Fuck, they were really going to do this, weren’t they? He couldn’t help the tiniest bit of anxiety creep up on him. What if having sex like this was too different… what if he wasn’t going to like it? He certainly liked Taehyung… felt like they had the best chemistry with one another… but what if it wasn’t going to work… what if…?

His worries were cut short when Taehyung moved back on top of him, throwing the bottle of lube onto the bed and kissing him deeply. Jungkook felt like he was drowning in Taehyung. In the best way possible. His scent washed over him, instantly calming his nerves.

“Stop worrying so much… I don’t like it when your scent turns bitter.” Taehyung muttered against his lips. He brought his hand up to his cheek, slowly tracing his thumb over it with the softest of gazes as he looked down at Jungkook. Almost fondly. It was weird how connected Jungkook already felt to Taehyung when this was pretty much only the second positive interaction they had ever had…

But he did and he wasn’t going to complain about it.

“You know…” Taehyung began, tracing his thumb over Jungkook’s lip. “I can’t remember ever looking forwards to sleeping with someone this much.”

Jungkook smiled, placing his hand on Taehyung’s. “Me neither… and it’s really weird because we hardly know each other.”

Taehyung chuckled. “Don’t you know? Drunk bonding is the best way to really get to know a person in no time.”

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. “Now is it?”

Taehyung laughed. “It worked in our case, didn’t it?”

At this Jungkook couldn’t help but smile. “I guess it did.”

After kissing some more Taehyung moved to prepare Jungkook. Up to two fingers Jungkook could actually take easily… maybe Jimin’s present had actually been helpful. Three fingers had a bit of a painful stretch to it, but when they reached four fingers it really came to the point Jungkook couldn’t say he was the biggest fan anymore.

Taehyung was quite soft in the way he moved. Pressing kisses to Jungkook’s stomach as he moved his fingers in and out of him. There was something oddly intimate about being the one receiving this time around.

Maybe because he really had to trust Taehyung to do what felt good instead of hurrying through preparing Jungkook just so they could get to the sex part.

But Taehyung really took his time, carefully stretching Jungkook… and Jungkook was grateful for that because the thought of having a dick up his ass might have made him the tiniest bit anxious.

“That should be enough.” Taehyung muttered, pressing one last kiss to Jungkook’s stomach before slowly pulling his fingers out.

Jungkook sat up, a bit hesitant, what were they going to do now? Jump straight into having sex? It felt a bit off… Jungkook hadn’t even seen Taehyung’s dick yet.

“Could we… kiss some more?” Wow, he sounded like an omega. A small part of him wasn’t too happy with that aspect but he pushed that aside. Who cared what was omega like and what was alpha like? All he wanted to do right now was kiss Taehyung some more.

“Of course.” Taehyung moved up to his face again before pressing their lips together. This time he didn’t cage Jungkook in like he had the first time. Jungkook got to reach up, tug at Taehyung’s neck to make him come closer.

The alpha’s mouth and body felt hot against his. His underwear, the last piece of fabric separating them. Jungkook looked down at Taehyung’s bulge. “If you want I could get you hard with a blowjob.”

Taehyung chuckled. “I’m sorry, but you’re a bit late for that. I doubt that you could make me any harder.” He pressed his lips to Jungkook’s scent gland, once again softly biting down on it. Jungkook whined, grasping for Taehyung’s shoulders.

When Taehyung finally let go of his neck Jungkook managed to speak again. “I want to give you a blowjob either way.”

“Alright then.”

Taehyung moved back to give Jungkook the space he needed to move. There wasn’t much hesitation as Taehyung pulled his underwear down, revealing a quite impressive length… even for an alpha. Jungkook couldn’t help but let out a nervous chuckle. Really great for losing his ass virginity, wasn’t it?

As if he could sense Jungkook’s hesitation Taehyung reached out, running his hand through Jungkook’s hair. “We’ll take it slow. Don’t worry.”

“We should, just to make up for jumping into everything else right away.” Jungkook joked before moving closer. At least he knew what to do with a blowjob. He pushed Taehyung to lean against the headboard before moving down and wrapping his lips around the tip.

It felt warm and salty against his tongue. With a couple of slow drags of his tongue Jungkook licked Taehyung’s dick clean of any precum. Above him Taehyung sighed in content and Jungkook couldn’t help but keen a bit at the fact that Taehyung seemed to enjoy this.

For a second he moved back to wet his lips before going back and swallowing Taehyung’s length down whole. At least as much as he managed. Taehyung let out a soft moan and Jungkook could feel heat gather in his groin.

He was so ridiculously turned on. The spikes in Taehyung’s scent affecting him too. The fact that Taehyung also seemed to be a rather reactive person that didn’t mind letting Jungkook know he was doing good. It was all driving him crazy.

He brought his hand up to wrap it around the base of Taehyung’s dick… the parts he couldn’t properly reach due to his size. When he did he felt the familiar hardness there he knew from his own dick… Taehyung’s knot… he hadn’t even thought about that.

He hadn’t really taken the fact that Taehyung also had a knot into consideration. None of the partners he had hooked up before had had one. Carefully he squeezed around it and he could hear Taehyung let out another moan.

A wave of excitement washed over him. Slowly he pulled back, dragging his tongue over Taehyung’s dick before plopping off. Just for a second he allowed himself to look at Taehyung. Really appreciate how amazing he looked like this. Eyes gone dark from arousal, lip bitten red…

Jungkook’s dick twitched, painfully hard and neglected pressing against his stomach.

Nevertheless he dipped down again, taking in as much of Taehyung’s dick as he could before moving in a slow pace. He felt Taehyung fall apart underneath his hands. His dick twitching under Jungkook’s hold and he ended up getting so lost in Taehyung’s pleasure that it needed Taehyung pulling him back by his neck to eventually stop him. “If you keep going you’ll make me come.”

Taehyung was panting heavily, gaze dark and expectant… it made a shiver run down Jungkook’s spine. This was it. They were about to fuck.

To Jungkook’s surprise Taehyung made him move onto his back. For some reason he had half expected Taehyung to fuck him from behind… it was such a typical alpha thing. Which he knew partly because he had heard about it from others and partly from experience.

But Taehyung didn’t do that, instead leaning over Jungkook in a way that made it easy to kiss and really look at each other. Jungkook appreciated that. He enjoyed kissing Taehyung a lot more than he would have been willing to admit.

“Last chance to back down.” Taehyung offered, grabbing the bottle of lube and fluidly covering his length with the sticky substance.

Jungkook chuckled. “You know alphas never back down from anything… even if it kills them…”

Taehyung sighed, but he couldn’t hide the smile tugging at his lips. “I’d really prefer if you didn’t die during sex. Yeah? Thank you.”

Jungkook giggled, pulling Taehyung into yet another deep kiss. “I’m not planning to.”

Jungkook could feel Taehyung line up. His tip caught and very slowly he pushed in. Jungkook was glad that Taehyung had taken all that time to prepare him because even now the stretch around Taehyung’s girth hurt.

But it wasn’t too bad. Especially not with Taehyung pressing his lips against Jungkook’s. Slowly and deeply kissing him as he inched in deeper and deeper.

Jungkook groaned when the tip reached parts that Taehyung’s long fingers hadn’t been able to while he had prepared him. It felt weirdly painful in a numb way, but he knew it would get better soon.

Finally Taehyung bottomed out and Jungkook managed to breathe in again. Taehyung’s weight on top of him felt oddly reassuring. “How does it feel?”

“Weird… really weird.” Jungkook admitted, pressing his nose to Taehyung’s neck, inhaling his calming scent. It washed over him once again and he felt his body relaxing… the weird feelings turning a little less prominent.

“Weird is okay… it doesn’t hurt?” Taehyung asked, softly running his hand over Jungkook’s waist.

“It doesn’t… you took good care of me.” Jungkook chuckled, teasingly biting down on Taehyung’s scent gland. He could feel Taehyung’s dick twitch inside of him.

“That’s good.” Slowly Taehyung pulled out again, making sure that Jungkook would get the time he needed for adjusting before pushing in again. Even though he was moving this slowly, Jungkook could feel every drag of Taehyung’s dick inside of him. Deep inside of him, far deeper than he’d thought he was going to be able to take. But he was able to take it.

Taehyung’s dick felt amazing... “I think you can go a bit faster.”

Taehyung did, slowly picking up the pace as he kissed Jungkook again. Kissing Taehyung while he was inside of him had to be the most overwhelming thing Jungkook had ever felt. He felt like all his senses were filled with Taehyung.

“Feels good.” He gasped in between kisses and Taehyung just kissed him deeper, moving his hips just a bit harder and faster. Jungkook’s dick was squeezed between their bodies, getting more friction than Jungkook would have wanted usually. He was so sensitive, everything felt overwhelming but at the same time so ridiculously good.

“Fuck, you’re so pretty.” Taehyung muttered after pulling away from Jungkook’s lips just to take in his face. And Jungkook would have laughed because no one had ever called him pretty, but Taehyung was buried deep within him and he really didn’t feel like laughing. So instead he appreciated the compliment because he knew Taehyung had actually meant it.

They kissed some more and then Jungkook felt Taehyung’s knot form. The boy tried to move back a bit to make sure the knot wouldn’t form within Jungkook, but Jungkook quickly held him in place. He knew he was fucking crazy and he probably wasn’t prepared enough for this, but he couldn’t stop himself… he wanted this.

“Knot me.”

Taehyung shook his head. “You’re not even close to being stretched out enough for that.”

Jungkook pulled Taehyung closer, squeezing his walls around the alpha’s dick. “I can take it. Please… I really want it.”

Taehyung looked hesitant, slowly moving his hips as he considered it. “If it starts to hurt too badly tell me… I’ll try to pull out.”

A little wave of relief overcame Jungkook. He had no idea why it suddenly felt this important for Taehyung to knot him, but he really wanted it. Wanted to take everything Taehyung could give him. “I’ll tell you.”

He pressed their lips together in another kiss. Taehyung looked down at him, his eyes fond. Jungkook felt so warm like this. “You’re so amazing… I swear.” Taehyung’s voice was more of a whisper than anything else and then he dropped down again, capturing Jungkook’s lips in another kiss as he started properly rolling his hips again.

Jungkook felt the knot slowly form for the second time. It hurt as it caught at his rim, making it hard for Taehyung to push in, but he did every time until it was too risky to pull it out again. Instead he started grinding against Jungkook, his lips hovering right over his scent gland.

“Come for me.” And then he bit down on the sensitive spot, sending sparks all through Jungkook’s body. Hot spurts of cum landed on both Jungkook’s and Taehyung’s chest and then Jungkook could feel Taehyung’s dick twitch inside of him, the knot finally locking it in place with an almost unbearable stretch, and then he could feel how he was slowly getting filled up.

Frequent spurts of come filled his hole until he felt too full to take any more, but Taehyung’s body kept giving. Taehyung on top of him was breathing heavily, slowly catching his breath.

Jungkook felt like he was in the clouds. His ass hurt… really hurt, but the pain was overpowered by all the positive feelings of content Taehyung’s mossy scent gave him, just like being so full did. Something about it was oddly calming.

He felt filthy covered in his own cum and their sweat… but he didn’t care. All he wanted was for Taehyung to stay there on top of him and then he would be happy… which wasn’t much to ask for considering that the knot was going to take at least fifteen minutes to swell down enough for Taehyung to pull out again.

“That was amazing.” Jungkook whispered. He had been curious about two alphas having sex before, but he hadn’t expected this.

Taehyung chuckled, still panting heavily. “Yeah, it really was. Are you sure that was your first time bottoming because… fuck.” Taehyung buried his face in Jungkook’s neck, slowly starting to scent him. It was calming and Jungkook bared his neck some more.

They spent the next couple of minutes like that, scenting each other and kissing some more. No matter how Jungkook looked at it, Taehyung felt right. Being like this with Taehyung felt like the most natural thing.

When Taehyung’s knot finally went down he helped Jungkook clean his stomach and led him to the shower in the bathroom that luckily had it’s entrance in Taehyung’s room. Since he had more experience Taehyung helped Jungkook get most of the cum out before making out some more.

When they went back to Taehyung’s bed more than three hours had already passed since he had come here. Maybe he should have gone and told Jimin about what had happened, but all he wanted to do was pass out on Taehyung’s bed and cuddle some more.

So they did, Taehyung wrapping his arms around Jungkook and moving around to once again scent him, making sure his scent would stick to him even after their shower. Jungkook wasn’t even aware he was falling asleep when Taehyung pressed kisses all over his neck.

The world just slowly faded out until all he could feel was Taehyung’s warmth against his back and the soothing scent of rain and moss.

“Okay… what the fuck?” Jungkook opened his eyes only to make eye contact with Jimin, who was standing by the door and staring at them both lying there. Taehyung had to be still asleep against his back because he wasn’t reacting in the slightest.

Jungkook didn’t know what to say. There was no short version to all the things that had led to this point that was going to make sense. So Jungkook just pressed his fingers to his lips to make sure Jimin wasn’t going to wake Taehyung up by yelling or something.

Jimin just dumbfoundedly stared at him. Then he slowly lifted up the keys in his hands.

“I thought you two had killed each other so I got the spare keys…” He took in the picture of the two of them cuddled up to one another in the bed. Completely peacefully. No blood on the walls or anything. “Seems like everything is okay though.”

He shook his head in disbelief before sending Jungkook that look that clearly told him ‘You owe me an explanation later’. Then he turned around and left the room.

“Seems everything is okay though.” Jimin’s words echoed in his head. 

Yeah... things certainly were okay. More than just okay.
