• Long Awaited by fadetomorrow

Yoongi ignores him for the most part until he doesn't. Until he looks right at Taehyung, pensive and unreadable. Like there's something he finally wants to confide to Taehyung.

five times taegi could have posted a selca, but didn't. plus one.

Despite his amazing ability to write angry and sad and wistful and happy lyrics, Yoongi is pretty bad at expressing himself verbally when it comes to the emotions he keeps close to his heart. Taehyung has learned, over the years, to read Yoongi’s minuscule shifts of expression, to decipher small gestures, and he knows without a shadow of a doubt that right now Yoongi needs to be hugged. Yoongi would never say it out loud, but to Taehyung he’s broadcasting his request louder than words.

- or: BTS goes to Helsinki for a photoshoot, and the thing between Taehyung and Yoongi that has gone silent and unacknowledged for a long time finally reaches critical mass.

• Look at Me More, and Again by bowandarrow

"Are you taking care of me?" Yoongi asks him with a surprised smile.

Then,

"I can take care of you too, if you want."

Or the one where Taehyung just wants to get some kissing experience, and Hawaii really seems like the perfect place to do it.

• Gift of Sharing by Namib

After finding out their prize was limited to twenty books only, Taehyung buys Yoongi the full collection of Slam Dunk. It takes Yoongi some time to figure out how to repay the favour.

• love bite by lusterrdust

Taehyung is used to being the one the older leans on in exhaustion, and he loves it. He loves the way Yoongi trusts him to hold him close to his chest and lather them both in soap until they’re clean and ready for bed. He loves the way Yoongi’s eyes drip closed when he washes his hair, rubbing gentle circles into his scalp and watching the pout of his lips get more and more prominent with the added pressure. But this—this is nice, too.

Being the one leaning against Yoongi tonight, this is really nice.

• Before You Go by monomoni

"Before I go," Taehyung smirked, Yoongi hitting his head on the back of the chair as he knew what the younger was up to, already whining before Taehyung could say what was inevitably about to come, "I love you."

"Thank you." Yoongi said, waving him off as his embarrassed smile grew.

Taehyung loses a piece of himself when he discovers he can’t have children. Yoongi helps center him.

• Warm Summer Breeze by Jiminssi_ifya (unamaga)

The shoot, for all the location is gorgeously picturesque, is an ordeal. It’s brutally hot by the time they get down the beach; at least once, Yoongi has to stop the photographers and lie down in the shade for a few moments just to catch his breath, pointing his stolen handheld fans at his armpits and face. It barely helps. His sweat won’t evaporate, and every breath feels like sucking hot soup into his lungs instead of air.

Taehyung sits down next to him in the sand at one point and passes him a sliver of ice to suck on, and Yoongi nearly cries at the relief of having at least one small part of his body cold.

By the time they get back to the hotel in the afternoon, he’s as cranky as he was when they got off the plane from Seoul, covered in grit and sweat, skin painfully tight from make-up he hasn’t had a chance to remove. All he wants is a shower and a bath - both, in that order, possibly with one of his new bath bombs so he can smell something other than bleach and sunscreen.

• every time we touch is gold by mindypml

Taehyung and Yoongi keep having sex during tour. Taehyung contemplates what it means while both are very bad at expressing their feelings.

• 1122 by (orphan_account)

It's been a long time since Taehyung and Yoongi posted a picture together. There's a reason they're waiting.

• Cover Your Soul With My Body by unamaga

He catches Yoongi watching him during a break in dance practice a few days later, feeling the rise of hair on the back of his neck before he registers what’s causing it, and forces himself to find Yoongi’s eyes in the wall mirror. In the suspended moment before Yoongi’s guard snaps back into place, Taehyung can see so much on his face it makes his stomach jolt: interest, yes, more than Taehyung ever thought he’d get, but also a kind of wonder, like Yoongi’s looking at something he never expected, something new and surprising but attractive.

Yoongi doesn’t blush at being caught, but Taehyung has only seen Yoongi blush a handful of times in the seven years they’ve known each other so that’s not exactly telling. What is telling, though, is how Yoongi, who is always aware of his surroundings to nearly the point of paranoia, nearly trips over Jungkook, who’s sprawled in the middle of the floor with his camera loudly trying to take an unflattering picture of Seokjin.

Taehyung’s hooked.

• Strawberry by happily_missy

Yoongi didn’t understand many things in life; how he ended up in Seoul, how BTS became the massive entity it was now, how much he loved his six bandmates like they were extensions of himself, and now, how Taehyung was currently on top of him trying to remove his clothes.

Or

The one were Taehyung gives Yoongi a lapdance.

• webs of doubt by lusterrdust

Some of the members prank Taehyung with a fake spider. He doesn't appreciate it.

• You Smell Like Home by bumblebeetae

Yoongi feels like safety and comfort and love.

• ♡ by (orphan_account)

Taehyung gets a love letter.

• As the Moon Loves by fadetomorrow

Taehyung didn't ask because he wanted to show Yoongi how well he could do it, wanted it to be almost like a present, a gift of respect. Proof that his admiration in front of the camera isn't just an act.

Taehyung has trouble with Yoongi's verse and Yoongi finds out.
