Paint you Brown

07.

Taehyung ran, breath knocking out of his lungs as he did.Like running on the sand wasn't tiring enough,his heart clenching at the heat pressed against his wrist wasn't helping in anyway.They had ran,hands above head and a horse at tow.Jimin waited for Taehyung when he stopped to pick up Jimin's sleeve cuffs when they fell off.Taehyung could barely look away as Jimin laughed,one hand reaching out to him as he waited.They ran all the way back from the shore to stop at a  small rundown hut harboured near a clutter of trees.It could barely be called a hut for the structure was barely wood kept together meekly,a downtrodden rememberance of the shipyard from a battle years ago.But it held strong against the wind and downpour so Jimin decided to tie the horse to the front,just under where the hut began and huffed out,"seems like a storm"

Taehyung's legs were too weak to hold himself up and he was sure that if his father was to see him,both the master of arms and Ser Min Yoongi would hear an earful for cutting Taehyung slacks in the practice yard.Taehyung stepped backward to come close to the threshold and lowered himself onto it.His heart was still too loud for him to make any sense of Jimin's words and that too over the heavy rain against the wooden roof.He was drenched in rain from head to foot,there's not a part of his skin that the rain had left untouched.The storm was loud against the walls.Taehyung watched Jimin walk towards him, tousselling his hair to get rid of the drops sticking to ends of his hair.He sat next to Taehyung and watched the clouds distantly roar behind thunders and lightening hitting the far away rocks.

"Rain over the sea is indeed a frightening sight",Jimin said,crossing his legs and Taehyung felt Jimin's knee dig into the side of his thighs.Taehyung wanted to draw back and put as much as distance he could between them but he could barely make his body listen to his thoughts.When Taehyung spoke nothing,Jimin turned at him,"You okay,Tae?"

Taehyung was taken out of the reverie by the way Jimin had addressed him.
"You look like you're in a daze",The elder's eyes blinked in concern and Taehyung nodded his head and urged himself to speak,"I..I am good,are you okay? Ser Min will send the gaurds to get us"
"I am not very eager to get back to the castle,Prince Taehyung.I like it here..like this",Jimin said and Taehyung wanted to ask what that meant.Taehyung send his eyes to his foot,his boots drenched and soaked in sand.He reached over to slip his leg out and wiggled his toes against the cold,"Excuse me..My legs are killing me", Taehyung apologized.

"Excuse me as well"

Taehyung watched as Jimin pulled at the ties of his vest and slid them off his shoulders,"I get feverish quiet fast and won't be upon my feet tomorrow",He said as he wringed his vest to dry them.Jimin's chest was now translucent through the white dress shirt he was wearing and Taehyung had to look away.Look far into the deserted shore drowning in the aftermath of the heavy shower.The next time Taehyung's eyes found Jimin,Jimin had gotten rid of his shirt too.Pale chest that Taehyung had stared shamelessly, few nights ago, full in display.But it felt so wrong to look now,it felt more wrong to look away. The Andeoarian prince came to sit back down,kicking his own boots away and Taehyung felt that he was much closer than before.

There was silence for a while except for the thick drops that fell onto the roof like someone was pelting stones at them continuously.Their hands rested inches away from each other on the threshold of the wooden door and Taehyung wanted to give in.He just waited for something to happen.He wasn't sure if he wanted anything to happen at all  but he could feel that if he doesn't do something about it,he was going to combust.

"I lied",Jimin started,his eyes still cast forward and Taehyung turned at him.
"I lied that I didn't know about you when we first met.I just wanted to save face when you said you didn't know me..I actually did know you,heard about you",Jimin scooted into himself and Taehyung almost whined at the loss of Jimin's knee touching against his thighs.
"Your birth was celebrated across borders"
Taehyung knew that,Elindross was the largest Kingdom of all lands and it was expected that the birth of the first born was called in every other countries.

"Mother remembers when the gaurd reached the gates to announce,I was barely months.Mother said everyone in Andeoara was delighted that the princes would be of same age..Elindross is the saviour of the peninsula,ofcourse we'd all read about the crown prince",Jimin finished with a smile and  Taehyung too did.Jimin picked up a stray stick from the sides and drew on the sand beneath their feet.Taehyung's eyes followed the lines and circles of the stick.

"When I first saw you at the entrance of the courtyard,my heart raced",Jimin said, pushing Taehyung into a frenzy.When Taehyung looked to his side, Jimin's eyes were still on the patterns he had drawn on the sand.Jimin raised his head slowly,cheeks raised,eyes shining and red all over his face.

"Jimin-"

Jimin's pinkie laid softly onto Taehyung's and Taehyung closed his eyes tight.Jimin pushed himself off his side to lean closer to Taehyung.He leant slowly into the crook of Taehyung's neck,not quite touching but his breath still falling over the exposed skin of Taehyung neck giving the younger enough time if he wanted to move away.Taehyung could feel Jimin's damp hair on the side of his face and he wanted to lean in too,wanted to feel the skin on his cheeks,his neck, everywhere.Taehyung's hands moved like they had a mind of their own and before Taehyung could stop it,his hand was sliding up Jimin's bare chest,slowly in an agonizing way to come stop right over his heart.

"You're... courting...my sister", Taehyung breathed heavily as his hand moved again and found solace on Jimin's bare shoulders.Jimin dipped his head finally onto Taehyung's shoulders,"I am courting your sister",Jimin repeated like a parrot as he moved into the younger's space,his knee pressing to Taehyung's sides.
"This is agony",Jimin mumbled against the shell of Taehyung's ears before dragging his nose onto his cheeks and Taehyung's nails digged into Jimin's shoulder scarring them slowly,pulling in further.

"Jimin- Move away...You must not..argh..", Taehyung sighed as Jimin bit slowly onto his ears,painfully slow and Taehyung wanted him to move faster against him.He held onto Jimin tight.
"Your actions contradict your words,your royal highness",Jimin drew back lightly and that was the first time Taehyung opened his eyes and saw Jimin above him.And he couldn't help but think about the day on the yard where Jimin had him pinned under him with so many subjects watching.But there was noone here,he could do anything to his whims.His legs shook at the thought and fought the urge to spread them.

"Please let me kiss you",Jimin's lips hovered over Taehyung's,closer than the breadth of a string and Taehyung wanted to cry,He wanted to cry at the way he wanted to reach and capture his lips but he couldn't help but think of who they were and why Jimin was there.

"We must not", Taehyung tried again,"My sister-"

And there was a distant neigh of horses and gaurds shouting for them.Jimin drew back only to press a kiss on Taehyung's neck,"as you say,Prince",He said before pulling the dress shirt over his head and leaving Taehyung's side to signal the gaurds of their location.Taehyung only knew he was breathing properly when Yoongi called for his name.

"Are you okay?",Yoongi asked when he stepped into the carriage and Taehyung only nodded,his eyes cast away from Jimin for the entire dreary trip up the castle.He didn't know what Jimin felt after or if he was hurt when Taehyung rejected his advances.Taehyung couldn't even see Jimin's face properly when he said a quick goodnight and jostled down the halls to his chamber.Taehyung's heart ached for things he couldn't understand.
