#// them: yeah we're gonna go play tonsil hockey

tlp jk and oc, how has the image of the other changed in your mind since you’re a couple? new things that you noticed about each other since you changed status?

"You first?" Jungkook asks, looking at you. You shake your head. "Alright," he smiles and then looks forward. "I think... nothing much, really. I've always seen her in a different light ever since I realized I was in love with her. But when we started dating, I guess it just kind of amplified? Like I've always seen her as the love of my life, but there were some angsty, lingering thoughts behind it because of... you know. But when she started reciprocating my feelings, it sort of felt like I was finally in – it's sappy as fuck – but heaven is what I call it, even though I don't even believe in that stuff. I see her first thing in the morning and the last thing in the evening and I think to myself... does she ever stop being beautiful? Does she ever stop being the smartest person in the room? Does she ever stop being thoughtful and kind and caring? Those things keep me up at night, sometimes, especially when I think that this is the person I really want to spend my lifetime with. I wouldn't be able to go on with my life without her in it – and not in a toxic way, but just in a sense that life would be pretty meaningless without her. You know what I mean?"

You stare at him in awe, words caught on the tip of your tongue. Jungkook turns to you, chuckling at your reaction. "What?"

"Nothing. Just, uh, wow. That was really..."

"Cheesy?"

"Yeah..." You nod. "But it was sweet. You're so sweet."

Jungkook shrugs, pulls you closer to him and gathers your legs on his lap in quick movements. "Not sweet. Just being real." You hum. "What about you?"

You nibble on your bottom lip. "You've given such a profound answer I think mine would suck."

"It's not a competition, baby," Jungkook chuckles and kisses the crown of your head.

You pout. "Well, here goes. I think what changed is that... obviously I stopped seeing you as just a friend. I mean, I've always seen you as my soulmate but that was kinda mostly platonic but ever since we started dating I genuinely think we're made of each other and I think it's kind of surreal? To be with somebody that you trust and love so much, and have them return those feelings back to you."

Jungkook can't help the huge smile off his face. You roll your eyes when he tightens his hands around your legs.

"Sweet. What's your real answer, though?" Jungkook teases and he welcomes the pinch you give his nipple for that.

You answer, anyway.

"Being attracted to Jungkook is kinda weird. Like he's always been objectively hot – I'm not gonna lie – but now every time I see him I just wanna crawl under his shirt and bite him, you know what I mean? It's kind of... still weird that we have sex now and I get to play tonsil hockey with him whenever and wherever I want. Seeing him incredibly hot and sexy has never been on my bingo card."

Jungkook chuckles. "Play tonsil hockey? Really?"

You grin. "Yeah! And I win, every single time!"

You're right about that. Jungkook doesn't bother protesting.

@justificd ordered a murder egg combo

X6-88 can’t say he cares much for Diamond City. He has been here on assignment many times, between relaying orders to Kellogg and occasionally being the one sent to pick up McDonough’s reports. But he’d never spent much time in the city proper, out among the humans, until he started accompanying Father’s aunt on the surface.

She seems to have a fondness for it. In the beginning, she told him it was because of its resources, and as it’s a trade hub, X6-88 understood. But, in the recent month, she confessed to him that it was because sometimes, she needs to be around people. “Not that you’re not,” she’d immediately said, hands darting out to press against his lower arm. “I’m sorry. I didn’t phrase that right.” X6 took no offense, but knew what her response would be if he told her that, so he didn’t.

This time, they’re here so she can meet up with her... partner. X6-88 doesn’t understand why she has romantic or physical interest in the man, but it isn’t his place to question her. He will follow his orders, which are to remain in the Diamond City Market while she convenes with her partner in Home Plate.

X6 remains near the door like a guard, leaned up against the wall with his arms crossed. Waiting is not difficult for him. He will wait.
