Wings

Author POV

Jimin lay back on the hospital bed, one hand trailing along his wing, he had pulled it infront of his eyes to inspect. His fingers deftly worked through the new feathers that were beginning to grow. A smile on his face. Only 2 more months and he would have a full set of feathers again. It would take longer to be able to fly again. But it still lightened his heart to know he was healing and that his wings were repairable instead of permanently damaged.

He then went onto trace the deep purple collar around his neck. He was Jin's official mate, it made him feel giddy inside, stomach full of butterflies, a soft smile plastered to his face and it wouldn't be removed any time soon.

He heard a knock at the door, he called for them to enter. It was Yoongi, he shifted nervously from foot to foot. Jimin hadn't seen this side of Yoongi since he first met him, it was startling to see how much Yoongi had changed in the time he had known him.

"Hi hyung" he sat up, the scent of campfire smoke and leather had a slightly acidic tone to it, indicating Yoongi's nervous mood.

"Jiminie" Yoongi's voice was hesitant as he spoke, he shuffled his feet as he walked.

"You alright hyung?" Jimin asked, confused as to why Yoongi was acting in this way. Concern for his hyung came to the forefront as he attempted to get out of the bed to cross the small gap between them, though it felt like miles.

He placed his foot on the ground, but Yoongi was quick to move. Jimin hadn't been allowed to walk, he still hadn't been given the all clear to do so. His legs recovering from the burns was one of the reasons, the having to hold up damaged wings that were healed yet was the other.

"Don't get up, don't want to hurt you" Yoongi's eyes were earnest as he spoke the words.

Jimin allowed Yoongi to push him back onto the bed with a careful yet firm touch.

"Are you alright hyung?" Jimin asked again, with no less concern than the first time he asked.

"Yeah I'm fine" Yoongi smiled, but it didn't entirely meet his eyes. It wasn't like his normal smile.

"Ok if you are sure" Jimin looked at him suspiciously.

"Just nervous that's all" Yoongi explained.

"About what hyung?" Jimin tilted his head to oneside to look at him better from where he was sitting.

Yoongi said nothing, only shuffled his feet and his wings moved with him. But then he seemed to get over his anxiety for a moment and pushed a box into Jimin's hands. But as soon as he did he moved back, far away from Jimin like he didn't know how to process the situation.

Jimin frowned at his behaviour, but looked down at the ornately decorated box in his hands, the object that seemed to be the source of Yoongi's anxiety.

He opened it with care, gasping lightly as he saw the contents. It was one of the most beautifully made collars, he pulled it out of the box.

Yoongi had clearly made it with careful detail and attention as he did with everything he was passionate about. The collar held the multi coloured nature of Yoongi's wings. He had braided threads together to create an almost plaited type look, like a gold and silver threaded rope. He had layered the inside with a soft silk like material as Jin had to protect his neck from any irritation.

"It's beautiful hyung" Jimin told him truthfully. Looking up from the collar in his hands to the scared Alpha.

"You really like it?" Yoongi seemed shocked at this.

"Of course I do. I love you, anything you give to me is a gift I will cherish. I accept" Jimin smiled.

Yoongi physically deflated, like all the concerns he had felt vanished and the weight holding him down was suddenly removed.

But then he turned shy once again.

"Can I have a hug?" He asked shyly. All Jimin had to do was hold his arms out in an inviting gesture and Yoongi fell into them greatfully. Falling into his safe haven.

Yoongi extended his wings out and wrapped them around Jimin's body, in a wing hug. Being extra careful as to not brush or further injure the Omega's icy blue wings.

"Thank you" Yoongi whispered pushing his face into Jimin's neck, breathing in the undiluted blueberry scent.

Jimin only held him tighter. Yoongi sinking further into the embrace the longer he was held. All the tension leaving his body in gradual amounts, until he was practically boneless, falling to his knees before the bed, Jimin having to lean over to keep his arms wrapped around the Alpha's torso.

Eventually Jimin pulled away from the hug. Yoongi looking up on his knees to Jimin as he removed the purple collar gifted by Jin from his neck and placed it carefully onto the bed. He then took the gold and silver collar Yoongi gifted him and held it against his neck, looking to him expectantly.

Yoongi got to his unsteady feet, trembling slightly. But never the less he knelt on the bed to help shut the clasp on the collar to secure it around Jimin's neck. Marking him as his official mate.

The thought made him shiver. He had never expected this within his life. With the way his parents relationship had gone, with the way he had been raised. He had never expected to find happiness as he felt now. To experience love and kindness like Jimin bestowed upon him every day.

But here he was, holding the man he loved with every fiber of his being in his arms. Holding him close and pressing a gentle kiss to his cheek. Jimin's eyes fluttering shut as he moved backwards on the bed, placing Jin's collar on the bedside cabinet with care.

Lying down an pulling Yoongi with him, till the Alpha's head was pillow against his chest, Yoongi shifted them both about so instead Jimin's head was resting on his own chest. Jimin being able to hear his heart beat. A heart that beated only for him.

So here we had Yoongi's proposal. I hope you liked it.

Here is how I imagine Yoongi throughout the book. This is officially my favourite of my drawings I have done.

I think I am starting to get the hang of the digital drawing thing. What do you guys think?
