Taehyung had fallen back asleep after doing research of his own. His master plan had been to wake up, slowly wake up Jungkook by getting him aroused, then prep him for doing the deed. But his body had other plans.

"Fuck," he whispered as he turned over.

Jungkook, who was already half awake, opened his eyes. "Tae?"

Taehyung repositioned himself on his back so he could look at the younger. "This is your fault."

"What's my fault?"

"My ass hurts," Taehyung pouted.

Jungkook's eyes widened, concern evident on his face. "I tried to be so careful. It said online if I prepped you well - "

Taehyung placed a finger on his lips, amused but also flattered Jungkook cared so much. "You did everything right, Kook. I don't think it was possible to avoid this outcome. Your dick is big."

Jungkook groaned, resting his forehead against the side of the elder's head. "Please don't say things like that right now. It's making me want to be inside you again."

Taehyung chuckled, reaching up his hand to play with Jungkook's hair. "Hey, I'm up next."

Jungkook leaned into his touch. "I know, I know." After a pause, he added softly, "Thank you."

"For what?"

"For . . . letting me do that. Trusting me," Jungkook revealed.

Taehyung tilted their heads so they were looking at each other. "I don't ever want you to thank me for sex, Kook. It's not some favor I'm doing for you. And of course I trust you. You're my best friend."

Jungkook scooped Taehyung into his arms. "Then thank you for being you."

Taehyung smiled, before teasing, "Thank you for your big dick."

"If you get me hard, there are going to be consequences."

"Oh, yeah?" Taehyung said with a confident grin on his face. He propped himself up on his elbows, but he fell right back down as that caused his lower body to burn. "Ow."

Jungkook looked tenderly at him. "I'll take care of you today, Tae."

"I wanted to take care of you today, Kook," Taehyung whined. "And by take care, I mean fuck you so hard you experience things you've only dreamed of."

"Fuck, Tae," Jungkook let out.

"You know you say that a lot, right?"

"Hm?" Jungkook asked distractedly, envisioning how it would be to have Taehyung inside him.

"Nevermind," Taehyung said, poking the boy in the cheek.

Jungkook smiled before gently extricating himself from Taehyung's arms and climbing over the boy. He pulled on some pants. "Stay here for a few, okay? I'll come get you in a bit."

Taehyung nodded, curious, but otherwise content to let Jungkook do what he wanted. He zoned out for a while, eyes to the ceiling, thinking of everything and nothing.

Jungkook came back in fifteen minutes later. "Can you move?" He asked the elder.

"I don't want to," he said.

Jungkook shook his head with a laugh. "Okay, we'll do it the fun way then."

"The fun way?" Taehyung managed to get out before he felt Jungkook's arms sliding under his arms and legs.

The younger hoisted him up, supporting his weight fully. Jungkook carried Taehyung to the bathroom, where he had prepared a hot bath. Carefully he lowered Taehyung to his feet, then watched as he got in the water.

"I'll bring you tea in a minute," he said as the elder rested his head back against the tub. His neck was completely exposed to Jungkook.

"You're amazing," Taehyung told him.

Jungkook crouched down next to the tub and placed a small kiss against Taehyung's throat. "Yeah, I think you told me a time or two."

Taehyung laughed. "Well, I'm telling you again."

The younger patted his hair before heading back to the kitchen, where he had a steaming cup of tea waiting. He also grabbed some water and pain medicine.

Back in the bathroom, he handed the water and medicine to Taehyung first, who gratefully took it. He passed over the cup of tea before getting up.

"Let me know if you need anything, okay?" Jungkook told the boy.

Taehyung looked at him, tracing over his features slowly. "Thank you, Kook."

This time Jungkook asked, "For what?"

"For just being you. For being my best friend. For being so caring and attentive. You're always here for me."

Jungkook felt color rising to his cheeks. "I'll always be here for you, Tae. No matter what."

Taehyung smiled as he set the tea on the ground. "I need one more thing from you."

Jungkook nodded. "Your phone? Some food?"

"No. I want you in here."

Jungkook just stared at him.

"With me," Taehyung clarified. "I just want to hold you."

The younger blushed deeper, but removed his pants and climbed in the tub. He leaned his back against Taehyung's chest, who wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Hey, Kook," Taehyung said after a few moments.

The boy hummed in question.

"I've decided. One day, we're going to screw in the tub."

Jungkook groaned and leaned his head back onto Taehyung's shoulder. The elder squeezed him tighter as he kissed his neck.

"You and your dirty mouth," Jungkook murmured.

Taehyung chuckled. "Here's some soap. Want to clean it out?"

The younger just shook his head. "Never."
