thinking about. Jimin coming home from work to find Taehyung cooking dinner already. Jimin approaches him from behind and buries his face into his back, wrapping his arms around Taehyung's middle.

"hi baby." Taehyung says, and Jimin hums in response.

"did you have a good day?"

a smile forms across Jimin's lips and he presses himself tighter to Taehyung's back. "yeah." he mumbles into Tae's shirt. "cute barista was working again today."

"oh?"

"hmm. I told him I loved his smile and he blushed the prettiest pink."

"cute." Taehyung says, finally stopping what he's doing so he can twist around in Jimin's hold. now face to face, Taehyung gives Jimin a soft smile before leaning down to press a sweet kiss to his lips, arms moving to wrap around Jimin as well. "just like you."

Jimin's face crinkles in mock disgust at the sappy compliment, but Taehyung can see he's pleased anyway.

"I'm gonna go in again tomorrow." Jimin says, smiling brightly up at Taehyung. "I'll ask his coworkers if he's single."

Taehyung quirks an eyebrow. "already?"

Jimin hums, leaning into Taehyung's chest, tucking his face into the crook of his neck. "he's cute, and he's funny. and we both like him. so why not?"

Taehyung grins, though Jimin can't see it. "I thought you'd want to play with him a little bit longer."

"a guy as cute as that, you can't wait around. someone else could swoop in before you. gotta be quick."

"is that so?"

"uh huh."

"is that why you asked me out on our first day of classes together?"

Jimin giggles. "maybe."

Jimin peeks up at Taehyung. "but it worked out, didn't it?"

Taehyung's grin softens into fondness. "yeah, it did."

Jimin flutters his lashes. "so when I ask cute barista out and he says yes to a date--"

"very presumptuous of you."

"--can I bring him home?"

Taehyung raises his eyebrows in surprise. "you want to bring him home on the first date?"

Jimin's expression turns sheepish, but there's conviction in his gaze. "I just... I have a good feeling about him. I think I like him a lot, so... I want him to meet you too. be clear on--

-- everything between us because I think I'll want a second date."

Taehyung brings a hand up to brush his fingers across Jimin's forehead and smooth down his hair. "you know I like him already."

"only from the stories I've told you."

"he better be as good as you say."

"he's so sweet, Taehyungie."

Taehyung presses a light kiss to Jimin's forehead. "I have been wanting to see him in person anyway... assuming he is single and does say yes."

"of course he'll say yes." Jimin smirks. "I'm me."

"very true, babe."

"I'll need you to help me with my clothes tomorrow."

Taehyung's hand settles on Jimin's cheek, cupping his face. "don't tell me you're breaking out the leather pants."

Jimin's smile widens, his eyes disappearing into crescents. "that's exactly my plan."

Taehyung groans, loud and dramatic. "Jiminie, you know what those pants do to me!"

Jimin giggles again, tightening his grip around Taehyung, nuzzling into his palm. "I'm hoping it'll have the same effect on our cute barista too."

"if it doesn't, he must be a eunuch."

who do you think cute barista is?

note: I already know who it is, I just wanna see who you all think it might be hehe

"what if I come with you?"

Jimin has just finished slipping on his shoes when Taehyung speaks, looking back at him from over his shoulder.

"you want to come?"

"yeah. I can just... sit in the back. let you do your thing. but then it gives me a chance to see him for myself."

Jimin pouts, approaching Taehyung to wind his arms around his waist and rest his head on his chest. "baby, I can't have you sitting in the back! you'll come with me and help me out." Jimin looks up at Taehyung, chin resting on his chest. "he couldn't resist the both of us right?"

"besides, I was thinking, it might be better you meet him before I take him home. just to make sure you do like him, and, well... to make sure he's up for all this."

Taehyung raises an eyebrow. "decided throwing him in the deep end might not be a good idea?"

Jimin giggles.

"not everyone is as adventurous as I am."

Taehyung nods, pecking Jimin on the forehead.

"alright Tae, you're hereby hired as my partner in crime. help me secure the cute boy, and your reward, should you accept, will be getting to eat my ass."

Taehyung grins. "deal."

"you're too easy, baby."

"can't help it, when it comes to you." Taehyung reaches down to cup Jimin's ass in both palms. Jimin laughs and swats at his chest, bouncing out of his grip.

"no, Taehyung, we haven't gotten our man yet!"

"Jiminie~" Taehyung whines.

"shoes on. come on. we have to go."

Taehyung grumbles, but does as he's told, slipping on his shoes and following Jimin out of their apartment.
