KLEPTOMANIA (YOONMIN)

TWENTY-SEVEN

The first thing Yoongi did upon seeing Jimin when they got back to school was hug him. Jimin stood awkwardly as he always did, taking a second to hug back. When Yoongi pulled away, he noticed the bandage almost hidden by Jimin's sleeve and frowned.

"What happened?" He asked, taking Jimin's hand in his own and pulling the sleeve up. They both stared down at the bandages and Jimin bit his bottom lip. Yoongi looked expectantly up at Jimin, waiting for an answer.

"When I was cooking, the knife slipped." Jimin lied and Yoongi frowned at him. Jimin stared blankly back, not giving any sign that he was lying.

"Really?" Jimin nodded. "You promise?" Jimin nodded again.

Yoongi placed a hand on either side of Jimin's face, squishing his cheeks slightly in what could almost be considered a comedic way. He stared into Jimin's eyes, and Jimin gulped. Last time someone had stated intensely into another's eyes like that, it'd been on a movie and the person had then kissed the other.

Yoongi then did kiss Jimin, but it was only on the forehead. Yoongi didn't really want to kiss Jimin in any more intimate way without knowing that Jimin was okay with it.

"Please don't ever hurt yourself." Yoongi said, his thumb gently brushing against Jimin's cheek. "You're too precious to hurt."

"I didn't hurt myself, it was just an accident." Jimin lied again, beginning to feel a bit guilty. But he didn't want to worry Yoongi anymore than what he already was, he didn't want him to know the full extent of his issues.

"I'm just saying, don't ever do it."

"I won't." Yoongi smiled, and for once Jimin smiled a small smile back. It wasn't really a big one, but it was better than the usual twitch of the lips. It made Yoongi's smile grow even wider and he kissed Jimin's forehead again, letting go of his cheeks.

"Here, I'll take your bag." Yoongi picked up Jimin's bag, which he'd dropped as soon as Yoongi had hugged him, and held Jimin's hand with the other one. Jimin looked down at their hands and then back up at Yoongi. "Do you.. Do you mind? I can let go of your hand if you want."

"No, it's okay." Yoongi continued to smile as he squeezed Jimin's hand, and the pair headed off to Jimin's room.

"Yoongi... Yoongi..." Jimin poked the sleeping Yoongi's cheek, saying his name with every poke. "Yoongi."

"Go away Sheldon." Yoongi mumbled, not waking up. Jimin sighed.

"Hyung, wake up." Yoongi groaned and rolled over, wrapping his arm around Jimin's waist. "Hyung.."

"Not yet, just five more minutes." Jimin rolled his eyes, attempting to push Yoongi away. They'd been watching anime, at Yoongi's insistence, and the Yoongi had fallen asleep. It'd taken Jimin a while to notice, he'd been getting into the show they'd been watching.

"Hyung, I can't sleep." Jimin whined, really wishing Yoongi would at least sleep on the floor. Or just let Jimin sleep on the floor.

"Just close your eyes, Jimin. Lie down and close your eyes." Yoongi opened his eyes and Jimin realised he'd been awake. Jimin frowned at him. "Let me just sleep with you, like this."

"Fine, but just this once. And if you try anything, I'll kick you where it hurts so hard you won't be able to have kids."

"Jimin, I don't think we have to worry about me having kids. I mean, unless I adopt or get a donor or something." Yoongi chuckled and Jimin shrugged.

"Still, it'll hurt." The corner of Jimin's lip curved up into a smile and Yoongi kissed his cheek. "Kissing me won't change my mind. You try anything, I'll hurt you."

"Does hugging you count as trying anything?"

"I'll allow that." Yoongi smiled and snuggled closer to Jimin. Although he wouldn't admit it, Jimin liked the feeling of lying in Yoongi's arms. It felt warm. While, if asked, Yoongi would admit that he liked hugging Jimin, but he also didn't like the feeling of Jimin's boney body. It made him feel sad.

"I love you, Jimin, and don't you go forgetting that." Yoongi said right before falling asleep, making Jimin's eyes widen and his heartbeat speed up. He lay there, his breath catching as he looked at Yoongi in the dark, wondering if he'd heard right.

He then shook his head, telling himself to calm down. He'd probably just misheard Yoongi, there's no way he'd heard that right. Jimin sighed as he closed his eyes, trying to get himself to go to sleep.
