taehyung is 23. he has his own place, a dog, two birds and works at day care during the morning up to early in the day. he usually volunteers a little in the evening fostering dogs or cats who were brought in the shelter.

his life has been going so well, but he can't help noticing how lonely he feels. it's his mission now to get a roommate.

it doesn't take long for him to find a compatible person seeing how friendly he was. his name was hoseok.

adding hoseok was adding a dog and his whole family. every sunday hoseok's sister and parents would come visit and cook for him and taehyung. it made the younger feel much at home. he was never left out.

"mickey wants to walk around, do you want to take tannie with us?" was hoseok's favorite phrase or it seemed like because he would always ask taehyung this. always.

it's a saturday evening and taehyung is finally out of shelter work. he imagines hoseok is barely waking up from his nap because he goes to the gym and dance studio early mornings.

he opens the door to hoseok eating cereal next to yeotan, mickey no where in sight, "where's your dog?" taehyung asks throwing his jean jacket at the couch. "mad, in the room. mickey is mad about the hair cut"

yeotan runs as in cue to hoseok's room leaving the boys alone. it was very unclear from the start what his sexuality was. hoseok never spoke about past relationships and when he spoke about love he didn't use specific genders. it was a mystery but taehyung can't help but fall for him. the worst that can happen is hoseok is straight and rejects him, no change because hoseok wasn't that type of person.

"do you want to eat or just stand and watch me?" he asks in such a coy tone that red flushes to taehyung's ears and cheeks.

"ah, hoseok hyung can you tell me about your past relationships?" it's quiet , he doesn't expect him to hear but hoseok looks up in an endearing gaze. "hm"

they sit on the couch facing each other both now too shy to looking up for too long.

"you have to tell me too, okay baby?" jesus, if taehyung forgotten he had a heart he sure remembered now.

"oh- i mean mhm" hoseok takes one big spoonful of the cereal sending a milky smile at taehyung right after.

"short term, none of my relationships ever lasted as long as i wanted them too. at first i thought it was because im a touchy person and in need of affection but it soon came out to be who i loved" god why is he beating around the bush. taehyung wants to find out.

"hoseokie~ what's your preferred gender?" that grin. that stupid beautiful grin that makes taehyung's palm sweat, gets his throat dry and rumbles his tummy.

"i like whatever likes me, your turn" suddenly having the light all on him is making the walls shake and his head ache.

"my relationships have always started off weirdly and i suppose it's my fault" the older seems intrigued gesturing with his chin to keep going.

"i have a theory that my soulmate will say something as bizarre as i will when we first kiss, they have to know before i even say it"

"setting your expectations high i see, good. i hope i can keep them that way" oh. oh.... it clicks. this is hoseok's way of asking him out.

"kiss me" taehyung blurts but the older leaves no time for embarrassment. his lips already pressing against taes. it's full of teases and want, it reflects perfectly on them. it has an over all sweetness, almost hard to pinpoint a certain taste to it.

it's so distracting to taehyung, he can't stop thinking "wow, he is actually here kissing me" that when it ends taehyung is desperate to say what he tastes like but he can't. he doesn't want to ruin this one he can't, but that theory it can't be wrong it feels so right.

"you-" he stops himself contemplating again.

"say it, what do i taste like tae, baby?" this one. he's the one.

"you taste like froot loops" taehyung replies proudly, "and you taste like my happiness" hoseok says right after pecking him on the cheek.
