The Devil's Work || Yoonseok

45: I Hate You

(Ignore any mistakes 😭)

Hoseok sighed as he stared at nothing, he just got back from a two hour meeting and went straight home afterwards. His body felt like lead and he was sure he was going to pass out any second now.

Thinking back to how his day went, he didn't see Yoongi at all, it's been about five days since they first had sex since their agreement, and yet, they haven't really talked outside of said agreement. While yes, they agreed to be friends with benefits, their current relationship is really lacking in the "friends" category.

He didn't find it shocking, though. He and Yoongi fall back into rhythm pretty easily after arguments, but they were away from eachother for awhile, too long for them to click exactly as they did when they first met. They're getting there, though, they're getting close. Hoseok liked the idea of that, the idea of being close with Yoongi again. All of this, every bit of it was built on the little hope he had that Yoongi would develop feelings for him in the long run, but with the way things are right now...that hope is slowly dwindling.

Hoseok jumped when he heard his doorbell ring, he stood up from his seat on the couch and made his way over to answer it. He was expecting Jin, or maybe Jungkook to be at the door when opened it, not Yoongi.

"Oh," Hoseok muttered, "You're here..." he left his mouth open, he was going to say more, he was going to say that he was just thinking about the smaller, but that would be a bold statement. It would be too much for the relationship they have right now. "Yeah, can I come in?"

"Yeah, of course," Hoseok said, moving over to the side and letting Yoongi through, Yoongi walked into his house with wide eyes, looking around the place like a kid in a candy store. "I havent been here in a really long time."

Hoseok tried to think of the last time he was at his house. Which was just a day before their relationship went downhill. That day with Yoongi was so domestic, it felt like something he could experience every day if Yoongi just let him in. But he just had to ruin it, hurting Yoongi the very next day and widening the already burdening gap between them.

"What're you here for?" Hoseok asked, closing the door as Yoongi sat on the couch. "Hm? Oh, just..." Yoongi shrugged, not looking at Hoseok as the older came over to sit beside him. "Just for some chit-chat."

"You've never been one to want to 'chit-chat' with me. What's wrong?" Hoseok asked, Yoongi looked at him as if Hoseok could see right through what ever facade he had going on. "Nothings wrong...at last not that I know of. I just...I'm.." Yoongi sighed, breaking their eye contact as he looked around the room. "Anxiety." He summed it up into one word.

"Again? Baby, I thought we talked through everything." Hoseok muttered, Yoongi nodded and then sighed, "Yeah but then I talked to Jimin started to give me these Ideas that I'm— I dunno, using you..?"

"Using me? The devil?" Hoseok asked, tone teasing, Yoongi rolled his eyes, "Forget it. It's stupid." Hoseok shook his head as he grabbed his face, turning it to look at him. "Look. It's good that you're questioning these things, alright? But this should be the last time we talk about this. I want to do this. You want to do this. Our relationship is simply friends with benefits with no strings attached. That's what we agreed on, and that's what we we'll continue to agree on until one of us ask for something different, go it?"

Yoongi nodded as best as he could with Hoseoks hand still on his face. "Mhm." He hummed, Hoseok nodded, glancing at his lips, god he wanted to kiss him, but he stopped himself, pulling away completely and dropping his hand in his lap. "Now. Let's chat."

"Right. That's what I came here for." Yoongi muttered more to himself than anything. "Are you feeling okay?" Hoseok asked, Yoongi glanced at him with a confused expression. "What? Of course I'm okay."
