┋apt 123

@ᵒ min yoongi. /while keeping ahold of yoongi's hand with both of his, he gazes softly at the older and slowly trails his focus downwards to his neck, smiling when looking into his eyes again.
hmm.. not really, just the excitement to be able to show all my platonic borderline romantic love for my favorite hyung ~ and I have a very strong feeling you wouldn't do any of my hard nos anyways, so no. what about yours, hyung? what are your absolute nos?

@ᵒ kim taehyung. /his tongue peaks out to wet his lips and he steps aside for taehyung to enter his living space. a few items of clothing were draped over a chair and an open notebook and pieces of paper lie on his bed. he gestures vaguely to the spaces, offering the younger a seat
just scribbling down some thoughts, might turn them into lyrics, i haven't decided yet

@ᵒ park jimin. /he's drawn to how much smaller jimin's hands are in his own, holding it gently and watching as gentle fingers run along his wrist. his flush spreads down his neck and he clears his throat, attempting to get it under control.
do you have any expectations out of it? or like, hard nos? just know i know where we're at

@ᵒ min yoongi. /tilts his head as the door swings open, his gaze remaining trained on the other as he glances along his figure. he was dressed pretty simply for himself, a comfy beige “essentials” crewneck paired with some brown wide-legged pajama pants. taehyung shrugs and passes his hyung into the room, ears flickering as he takes in the difference in how they have utilized their space.
that’s okay, hyung.. what’re you working on?

@ᵒ min yoongi. /he notices the movement of the older males hands a little later than usual, his gaze now on them as he sits up straighter and stops yoongi's hand. he holds onto yoongi's hand, gently brushing his fingertips along the assaulted wrist.
I am very open minded, you know this. I would be so happy to be able to take care of you like that, hyung ~
/he smiles softly.

@ᵒ park jimin. /he feels heat rise to his cheeks in the silence that follows, enough that he rubs at them with the back of his wrist as if it'll remove the flush. his stomach twists uncomfortably, ready to accept he has made the evening uncomfortable when jimin finally speaks
...yeah? i mean- only if you're open to it?
/he lifts his gaze again, the slight anxiousness softening when he see's jimin's eyes have brightened.
like friends with benefits.

@ᵒ min yoongi. /he pauses the movement of his thumb, slowly letting his hand fall from his lip and relax while gazing at yoongi. his brain takes a moment to catch up and calculate what the older just asked and what that meant. being careful with what he says next.
you.. yoongi hyung, do you want to.. try that, with me?
/he asks while pointing at himself, eyes brightening slightly as his eyebrows raise.
I mean- you want to help each other out like friends with benefits?

@ᵒ kim taehyung. /opens the door, his hair messy and clothes hanging loosely on his frame, one leg of his sweats scrunched up below his knee. his eyes roll over taehyung's form, at the arms across his chest before glancing up into his face.
come in, s'a bit messy, i was writing

@ᵒ park jimin. you're good at it. really good.
/his eyes lift to the movement of jimin's thumb against his lower lip, watching as they're pursed. he swallows and glances away, rubbing his thumb against the inside of his wrist idly as if to distract himself.
and what if say.. it were me?

@ᵒ min yoongi. /he knocks on your door a couple times, his foot tapping against the floor as he closes his arms over his chest with a small sigh.
Yoongi hyung let me in, I have to try and get you to sleep.

@ᵒ min yoongi. I guess you could say I just like to look out for everyone, or at least try to? learning everyone's ticks just helps with that.
/he continues messing with his lower lip while nodding at his own words, pushing his lips out a little in a look of concentration. he hums in a lower tone in thought, eyebrows knitted together slightly and eyes a bit narrowed.
hmm.. it would still be scary, but I'd probably feel more familiar and calm about it, not so freaked out and stuff, you know?

@ᵒ park jimin. yeah,, you've always been attentive, not just towards me but everyone
/his gaze lowers back to his hands, watching as the furl and unfurl around each other, feeling an odd mix of relaxed and tense, carefully measuring the weight of his words with his tongue before he says them. then jimin's movement has his eyes lifting once more, catching the movement of his thumb against his lower lip.
even if the person you were voicing it to was a close friend?

@ᵒ min yoongi. /he hums softly with a smile, lifting his hand to brush his fingers through his hair as few times while nodding. his focus turns to the way yoongi rolls his shoulder, making a mental note to pick up more icy hots for him.
really? and yeah, communication is the second most important thing on my list, it's a lot easier to do than people make it out to be.
/his gaze flickers to yoongi's hands for a short moment, rearranging his position a little to lean his side against the couch. he lifts his arm up against the cushions as he brings his hand to his lips, pinching and rubbing his lower lip while nodding. he then blinks at the question.
I don't know, I want to say I would and I know I would end up admitting to it at some point, but probably not right away. I'd be scared.

@ᵒ park jimin. /he smiles when jimin laughs, the warmth reaching his eyes.
I’d argue that you know me pretty well, possibly even more so than the others. possibly.
/he shifts a little when the position puts too much pressure on his shoulder, rolling it with his freehand pressed to the front.
you’ve got me thinking about it now. it really is all just down to communication at the end of the day.
/sighs softly, leaning back with his hands clasped in his lap.
that’s very you, at least from what I’ve grown to know about you over the years. you love love.
/he pauses, rubbing his thumbs against each other.
would you voice it? if you ever wanted more i mean

@ᵒ min yoongi. /he laughs softly, placing his hand on yoongi's arm and pats there lightly.
don't worry, hyung, you're not an open book. I've just gotten used to picking up on certain things that you do, and this is after years of knowing you.
/wraps his arms loosely around his propped up leg, getting a thoughtful expression on his face while thinking yoongi's question over.
well, yeah.. there's always the possibility that could happen, actually it'd more likely that when pushing the boundaries on an already close connection.. but that's why communication is always very very important.
/blinks and tilts his head slightly.
but to answer your question.. I just love to love and showing the people I care about my love for them makes me fill with joy ~

@ᵒ park jimin. /he lets out a soft snicker, propping his arm up against the back of the couch and tucks his face into his hand, mouth against his palm.
I'm not sure if i like how easily you can read me, am i that much of an open book to you..?
/asks softly though his voice is gruff, slurred behind his palm.
it makes sense. it's the kind of love where.. i guess you could trip and fall into it being more if the world took you that way, but you'd also be content with just.. being as you are..?

@ᵒ min yoongi. /he nods slowly, leaning back against the cushions of the couch and returns his gaze to yoongi with a small smile.
I try, hyung. though I also kind of had a feeling you'd bring it up at some point, and you're welcome.
/hums softly.
well, I can't speak on the type of love where you deeply fall in love fully romantically with someone, but I think there's a fine line between that kind of love and close friendship love. does that make sense?

@ᵒ park jimin. it felt right in the moment
the words makes him pause and he turns to look at jimin properly for the first time since the topic changed, an incredulous look on his face.
you’re really good at this whole talking thing. I knew that, ‘course, but I didn’t think I’d be having it out with you like this. thank you, for putting it into words for me, I was worried I’d screwed everything up.
he pauses, tipping his head slightly.
what are you thoughts on showing different types of love..?

/returning back to the apartment turns out being harder than he could have ever imagined, somehow having ended up going to the wrong floor, then to the wrong side of the hallway. he got a little turned around, a lost little doggy. 'why does my face feel tingly?' he thought to himself while bringing a hand up to pat his cheeks.
oww..
/squinting his eyes, he struggled just a little with the apartment door before making his way inside. he might have almost tripped on his way through the doorway, but he would have denied it so hard if anyone saw. he leaned heavily back against the door once pushed shut and locked, closing his eyes for a moment and takes a deep breath.
hmm water..
/he mumbles, focusing on carrying his feet to the direction of the water bottles.

Hums to himself as he enters the apartment and does his due diligence in removing his shoes and putting them, and his coat, away. He then strides into the kitchen and living area, a bit unsurprised to see nobody out and about on a holiday Taehyung pushes his way into his chosen room, leaving the door open as he strips out of his hoodie.

@ᵒ min yoongi. /the movement causes his visual focus to flicker down to yoongi's hands, his gaze staying there for a while with a somewhat zoned out expression, snapping out of his thoughts as he looks up.
yeah.. but it didn't go wrong though. you were just acting in the moment, right? there's nothing wrong with showing friendly love like that in a friendship like yours and taetae's and mine, at least I don't think there is. but then again, I think I have a little bit of a different idea than others when it comes to showing all types of love.

@ᵒ park jimin. his lip curls slightly, more with displeasure at himself than anything else. he shifts, moving his hands into his lap to stop himself from picking at his skin, his gaze kept across the room.
we’re band mates.. and /roommates/. I think I took it just a little too far. it could have easily gone poorly and made our living situation difficult and I think that’s what’s been eating at me today.

@ᵒ min yoongi. /his gentle gaze dances over yoongi's features, the realization of just how much his hyung was struggling inside was making his heart suddenly feel heavy in his chest. the smile having slowly faltered, but the soft expression never left his eyes.
it's okay, hyung, if you regret it or not, you'll always be my hyung and one of my closest, dearest friends.

@ᵒ park jimin. he worries his lower lip between his teeth, expression growing dim once he hears jimins response. he sits up and puffs out his cheeks with a shaky exhale, rubbing his arm a little more insistently, stomach twisting.
I’m.. not sure if I regret it or not

@ᵒ min yoongi. /a few emotions pass over his features at yoongi's murmured words; first being a little surprised yet very happy the other voiced his thoughts, then moving on to a little shy with raising warmth in his cheeks at the memory still crystal clear in his mind, before smiling softly.
ah, yeah.. not gonna lie, hyung, I can't seem to stop thinking about it.

@ᵒ park jimin. he stills, gaze fixed on the small hand on his arm and thinks it over a little longer before he decides to voice his thoughts with a murmur.
it’s about yesterday

[post deleted by owner]

@ᵒ min yoongi. /hums softly with a seemingly permanent smile on his face at the moment, nodding his head in excitement at the promise. he tilts his head slightly, looking at yoongi with a soft expression while reaching over to place his hand on his arm.
if you ever want to get your thoughts out, I'm always here to listen as you piece them together.

@ᵒ park jimin. he’s aware of how close Jimin is, able to smell the familiar scent and bites the inside of his cheek to keep his mind off it.
two movies next time then, I’ll make sure I remember
tips his head slightly in through, wrinkling his nose.
it’s nothing, just thinking some stuff over

@ᵒ min yoongi. /laughs while leaning in to place his head against yoongi's shoulder for a moment, smiling and breathes in audibly as he lifts his head.
that would be so much fun. we should do that soon, the next time we all have a night available.
/nods in full agreement, then hears yoongi clearing his throat.
hm?
