Taehyung couldn't help thinking that if he was the sun, Yoongi was the moon.
Yoongi was the beam of light in a dark place.
He was the center of a gloomy night, surrounded by twinkling lights.
He was the push and pull of the ocean, and the sign of days that have passed.
When people looked at Taehyung’s smile, and his endless cheerfulness, and his warmth, they often compared him to a sunbeam.
So if Taehyung was the sun, Yoongi was the moon.
“I still can't believe you and Hobi gave me fish for my birthday,” Yoongi commented. He didn't sound mad, just amused. “Honestly, what were you two thinking?”
Taehyung flashed a disarming grin.
“We know how much you appreciate corny puns, Hyung.”
Yoongi rolled his eyes, but he was smiling.
They were currently sitting in his studio. Taehyung always took a chance to sit in and observe Yoongi while he worked, as long as the older male was in a good mood.
“But that wasn't my real present…”
Yoongi turned away from the computer, tilting his head.
“Really?”
Taehyung laughed. “Yes, Really.” He leaned over to reach into the bag he brought with him, and pulled out a small box.
Yoongi was already shaking his head. “You didn't have to--”
“Accept it… please?”
The shorter male looked like he wanted to protest further, but he eventually sighed and took the box from Taehyung’s hands. He opened it nonchalantly, already expecting it to probably be another silly gift, but when the contents were finally revealed to him, his eyebrows shot up and his mouth parted in surprise.
“Tae--”
“Don’t tell me that I shouldn’t have,” Taehyung scolded with a smile. He reached over into Yoongi’s lap and took up the brand new, expensive headphones. After uncoiling it, he gently placed it on Yoongi’s head and plugged it into the computer.
“What are you doing?” Yoongi asked curiously.
“The headphones aren’t my only gift to you.”
“There’s more?”
Taehyung’s smile widened. “Yup! Remember when I asked for some time with your equipment? Well…” A few more clicks here and there, and Taehyung finally pulled up the file he’d been looking for. It was inconspicuously titled “T.Y” and Yoongi didn’t try to decipher what it meant.
The file finished loading, and Taehyung immediately clicked play.
Yoongi sat in his chair, staring at the screen with what looked to be a blank expression. There was so much going on inside his head, even though he looked to be completely emotionless on the outside. Kim Taehyung had written him a song, and he didn’t know how to express the feeling welling up inside of him. No one had ever written Yoongi a song before.
Sure it was pitchy at some spots.
And the beat could use some work.
But it was something Taehyung put his heart and soul into.
So Yoongi listened to the song. He closed his eyes and payed attention to the words. They talked of the love between the sky and the sea, the light and the dark, the sun and the moon. It was all painted across his mind in vivid color, with Taehyung’s soulful voice as the narrator.
“Hyung… are you crying?”
Yoongi opened his eyes and quickly swiped at his cheek.
“No,” he mumbled, but both he and Taehyung knew that was a lie.
Taehyung glanced back and forth between the computer and his blushing hyung.
“So, you like it?”
Silently, Yoongi reached out his hand and laid it on top of Taehyung’s. He interlaced their fingers together and rubbed soothing circles along the brunette’s knuckles.
He nodded, eyes never leaving the screen.
“Yes,” he answered tightly.
Taehyung let out a relieved giggle, before scooting his chair closer and resting his head on Yoongi’s shoulder.
Yoongi unplugged the headphones so that the song could play all throughout the room. The lyrics wrapped around them like a blanket, making Taehyung so much more aware of how solid and real Yoongi felt beside him.
They rarely ever sat together like this. So close and so in tune with each other. It reminded Taehyung of the eclipse that was probably happening at that very moment. The eclipse that was scheduled to happen on Yoongi’s birthday… in which the sun and the moon joined together in the sky.
Taehyung lifted their joined hands and stared at their tangled fingers with a fond smile.
If Taehyung was the sun, Yoongi was the moon.
