a yoonjin space explorers au where they were put together as captain and first officer because everyone thought they’d balance each other out ala Kirk and Spock, but really they just constantly enable each other so their missions are 200% barely controlled chaos at all times.
usually jin leads their away team while yoongi stays behind to run the ship and analyze the data the away team sends, but they stay connected via the comms and it is almost always a fencing match of snark and bad puns.
“yoongi-yah, what are the chances of me dying if I check out this cave?”
“high.”
“awesome! i’m going in.”
“i’m not collecting your body.”
“of course not. just fire an empty casket into the closest exploding star while playing rocket man, we’ve already talked about this.”

“yoongi-yah, why did people not like the restaurant on the moon?”
“no.”
“because there was no atmosphere !”
“... we have been in fucking space for *3 years* how have you not run out of these by now?”
“because i’m a genius, obviously...”
“no.”

”...also, i kind of need extraction. the local wildlife is ... not friendly.”
“for how bad that joke is, i’m tempted to leave you.”
“that joke was hilarious. also think of the paperwork you’d have to deal with. plus jungkook’s with me. you wouldn’t let *him* die would you?”

“... fine. for jungkook.”
but of course they’ve been dating since their academy days, and they’re ridiculously in love with each other. they don’t advertise it, since they’d rather not be reassigned, but everyone in their crew can see

it’s in the way yoongi outwardly grumbles over Jin’s jokes but still laughs at most of them, and even occasionally tells his own. or mumbles about the pointlessness of romantic holidays but gives jin a cool fossil he’s been saving on valentine’s day.
it’s jin refusing to leave the medbay when yoongi gets injured on an away mission. just stubbornly sits by his bed and holds his hand and tells him silly jokes until he wakes up and wheezes with laughter. (hoseok mutters about yoongi needing rest but doesn’t make jin leave.)
it’s them sitting at breakfast with their legs tangled under the table, intimately comfortable. (though when new crew member taehyung asks if they’re together, he gets exaggerated noises of disgust and two outraged squawks of “HIM?? which means they are 100% together.)
it’s jimin stumbling across them late at night, roaming the observation decks. he glances down at their joined hands and jin says “we’re apparitions, jimin-ah.”
“you never saw us,” adds yoongi in a flat deadpan.
“this is a weird dream,” jimin remarks and leaves them to it.

the whole crew thinks they’re adorable together and goes to great lengths to protect their relationship. (namjoon’s reports are often full of the baldest lies: reports of inappropriate conduct from the captain and first officer were greatly exaggerated by visiting diplomats...)
(...captain kim was merely demonstrating to officer min a proper french greeting - thus the reason for a kiss on the cheek. it had nothing to do with officer’s min near death encounter with poisonous flora.
they’re so professionally worded that no one calls namjoon it.)

there’s much speculation on whether or not they’ll get married someday and who would be invited to the wedding. joke’s on them, though. yoongi and jin got married right after graduating the academy. hoseok officiated and namjoon was best man - both of their lips are sealed.
they do try to make sure that every anniversary, the captain and first officer are left undisturbed for a full evening. yoongi and jin normally spend it in jin’s spacious quarters. they break out their rings from the special box they keep them in. they cook together.
they have sex with the screens on the windows up so they have a full view of the stars.
“hey, yoongi-yah,” jin says after, gently twisting yoongi’s ring on his finger. “how do you know when the moon’s had enough to eat?”
“psh, when it’s full,” yoongi fires back, grinning.

jin laughs, pressing his forehead to yoongi’s, and they giggle together, more than a little bit in love.
eventually, they do announce they’re married. casually, over a crew dinner celebrating the end of a long and difficult mission with way too many near death encounters.

jin leans over and muses loudly, “yoongi-yah, I think we should renew our vows when we’re back on earth.”
the room goes deathly quiet. yoongi snorts, “we’ve only been married 5 years, aren’t we supposed to wait until 10 at least?”

more silence. jin shrugs. “but we only make it back for shore leave every 5 years. and with our mission history we may not make it another 5.”
“true, I’ve been waiting for you to die in a mysterious cave for months now.”
“so is that yes?”
“eh, why not?”

the room erupts. yelling, shrieking, several things, including food, thrown in the air. jin catches yoongi’s eye amidst the chaos and winks. mouths, “I love you.”
yoongi’s nose wrinkles but his eyes are soft and hopelessly fond when he mouths back, “I love you, too.” (fin)
