Gerne: this is just pure and heartwrecking Fluff

Warnings: idk man this just threw me back to the time I worked on Purple Rain and it’s making my heart yearn for that time :(

Wordcount: 4.9k

a/n: Happy New Years my loves! I hope this drabble can make celebrating it a little sweeter! Idk I kinda become really depressed on New Years and if someone else feels like I do, I hope this makes the ache a little better. Just know that I love you guys all so much, you truly mean the world to me 💜

December 31st. The morning of New Year and you and Jungkook were travelling through snow storms and slipping over icy roads. It became better once you crossed the mountains. The roads became dry and the snow stopped, also the winds were easier to handle as well.

That was an hour ago and in the near distance you can already see your hometown, fitting so perfectly into the coastline that it seems as if it has always been there. The ships and boats became more ever since the first seagull screamed it’s greetings above your heads. Fishermen enjoy the day's tranquility, feeding their feathery friends involuntarily.

The air smells of salt and ocean, feeling chilly on your skin. It wasn’t a bad sensation, on the contrary, you liked it. It was a welcome change from the painful iciness of the air up north, which almost made your fingers fall off and your toes curl painfully in their boots. You find yourself laughing at the feeling, moving your fingers and crinkling the corner of your eyes up as you gaze at the ocean.

You were home again.

You laugh and let out a happy yell, wanting to throw your hands into the air and feel the wind on your fingertips. You didn’t do it of course, grasping the handlebars of your bike safely and following in the path Jungkook draws in front of you. You could smell his bike, faint now that the smell of home was overpowering it. He seemed happier too, his head ever so often turned to the left to gaze at the ocean. It was so amazing to watch.

You smile, eyes flitting to your rearview mirror. You just heard something. A low rumbling like that of a bike.

“No way”, you gasp and begin laughing, “it can’t be.”

Three bikes, speeding up to you with their owners all wearing black leather. The first one greets you with a quick flicker of their lights, zooming past you a second later.

“Min Yoongi!” you call out, knowing that he can’t hear you.

Then the second one, driving past you whilst greeting you with a quick wave of his hands. Jimin, grinning at you on top of his black Harley before he zooms past you and Jungkook with a howl of the motor.

“You idiot”, you laugh, eyes changing their gaze to watch Taehyung drive behind you, “what are you gonna do?”

He flickers his lights and then speeds up, racing past you whilst flicking you off jokingly.

“Idiot”, you laugh, flipping him off as well.

You watch Jungkook flip him off as well and then speed up. That was the invite to a friendly race.

“Fine”, you say and speed up, giggling like a little child whilst feeling the wind on your skin.

Now you were really home again.

Jungkook takes both Taehyung and Jimin and he would have taken Yoongi too hadn’t you reached the border of your town and had to slow down. He catches up with him by a red light, stopping next to him and opening his visor to talk. They are both smiling and laughing as they speak.

You stay behind them. Taehyung and Jimin roll up beside you. You open your visor with a laugh.

“You idiots, imagine I didn’t recognize you”, you greet them.

“Come on bitch, we are all wearing the same jacket”, Jimin says and giggles.

“You literal snail”, Taehyung says with a playful grin.

“You-“ you gasp, having to stop speaking as the lights changed to green.

You all drive off with a laugh, cruising through the town next to each other. Past Hoseok’s garage. He was still busy working, greeting you with an excited wave and his body covered in grease. You all wave back at him before zooming off to your next destination.

The diner didn’t change at all, looking just as inviting as it did when you left home to move up north with Jungkook. Red letters blink above the entrance and spell the name. The trees on the parking lot grew, casting shadows on the cars and bikes. Seokjin’s lowrider was parked on its usual spot, red metal glistening in the sunlight.

You park your bikes next to it, getting off and taking off your helmets.

“Jiminie!” you greet your best friend first, wrapping yourself around his body in a tight hug, “it’s been like a week but I missed you so much.”

“Right? It felt like five years without you”, Jimin agrees, squeezing you tightly.

“Seriously. Also, what the hell? How is it possible that you literally dyed your hair again?”

Jimin grins and strikes a pose.

“Cherry red. What do you think? Do I look cute?”

“You look hot as fuck, especially with the sides shorter than the rest. Fuck Jiminie you’re hot”, you praise.

“Thank you, thank you”, he says and strikes another pose.

“I dyed my hair too. My fiance made me do it”, Yoongi says, strutting up to you.

“I’m the fiance”, Jimin throws in, earning himself a fond look from you.

“I saw”, you look at Yoongi, “a pink strand, who would have thought”, you say, tugging at it softly, “you look hot too Yoongi.”

“Thank you”, he smiles shyly before leaning into you and giving you one of his very cute hugs. Yoongi gives cute hugs, he always wraps his arms under the ones of his hugging partner and rests his cheek on their shoulder. It was very adorable and you really liked his hugs.

“Missed you”, he murmurs shyly.

“I missed you too”, you answer him, giving his back a soft squeeze before letting him go.

He steps back with a shy pout on his lips, seeking refuge in Jimin’s embrace and smiling contently.

“Jiminie, how are you?” Jungkook joins you, opening his arms for Jimin to fall into.

“Kook, oh come here you handsome bastard”, Jimin coos, pulling Jungkook into a tight hug, “oh I missed you.”

They are giggling like two little boys.

“Hey.”

You shift your attention from the two men hugging to the one beside you. Taehyung, with his black hair ruffled from the helmet and his eyes sparkling in excitement.

“Snuggles hey”, you greet him, getting on your tiptoes to kiss his lips.

Taehyung sighs and wraps his arms around your middle, staying like this even after you broke the kiss.

“You snail”, he says.

“Hey, you brat”, you nudge his chest, “at least I’m not speeding like a crazy person.”

He chuckles deeply, eyes lowering in fondness.

“In my defense I just did what Yoongi did.”

“You want to put this on me now?” Yoongi throws in.

Taehyung cackles, “yeah hyung.”

“You brat”, Yoongi murmurs.

Jungkook claims the spot next to you, draping his arm over your shoulder and kissing your temple.

“I’m glad you’re okay”, he says softly.

“Hm?” you turn to him, rubbing circles on his tummy.

“The roads were really scary at first. You did really well”, he smiles sweetly, “I’m glad nothing happened to you.”

“Aw Kookie. I’m happy that you’re okay too. Honestly when you slipped that one time I was really scared for you.”

“Don’t worry I managed well”, he kisses your lips, “but now we’re safe and home.”

You smile goofily, drawing closer to your boyfriend. He is so lovely.

“Exactly we’re home, can you believe it guys?” Jimin joins your conversation, tugging at the arms of Yoongi and Taehyung to get them to follow him as he skips to the diner, “are you also hungry as fuck? Because I am.”

“I am hungry actually. You think Seokjin knows that we’re coming?” Taehyung answers him.

“I think he does”, you say, nodding to the diner.

They all look. Seokjin was outside, hurrying around behind the counter with his brown hair tied into a messy bun on top of his head. He spots you and begins smiling, rounding the counter quickly.

“Guys!” he calls out, throwing the door open, “finally you’re here! The food’s been ready for like six minutes already!”

“What? You already cooked the food?” Jimin squeaks, “okay bye guys I’m off to eat.”

And with that he runs off, hugging Seokjin a second later.

While those two are busy hugging next to the door, the rest of you enter the diner. A few people look at you, scanning over your black outfits and matching leather jackets. It felt nice. There was just something about having your jackets match and letting everyone know that you all belonged together.

“Come here everyone and give me a hug”, Seokjin says, greeting you all with a tight and loving hug. Once done he steps back, fixing the purple bandana on his head.

“So where’s the food?” Jimin stresses, making Seokjin snort.

“Follow me, it’s back there.”

“Oooh, our table”, Jungkook gushes, tightening his arm around you.

“That’s so lovely hyung”, Taehyung says and giggles.

“Yeah seriously, also look at that food”, you gasp, mouth watering at the sight.

“I made you guys’ favourites and as dessert I prepared warm brownies with vanilla ice cream”, Seokjin explains, busy lighting a candle on the table, “what do you guys want to drink?”

You tell him your orders whilst sitting down. Jimin and Yoongi claim one side of the bench. You and Jungkook claim the other side, soon having to scoot over to make space for Taehyung, who nudged Jungkook’s hip with his butt until he gave in with an exhausted sigh.

Seokjin hurries off a moment later, getting your drinks and the rest of your food.

“Dig in guys, cause I know I will”, Jimin says, stuffing his mouth with half his burger afterwards.

“No joke I’m so hungry”, Jungkook murmurs, biting into his steak burger a moment later.

The rest follows, soon all humming and moaning from the amazing food.

You were wrong before. Now you were really home.

“Oh I missed Seokjin’s food so much”, you say with your mouth stuffed.

“Same”, Yoongi agrees, shoving two fries into his mouth.

Taehyung just agrees with a hum, munching on his burger with a happy pout and a little wiggle of his shoulders.

Seokjin brings you your drinks.

“Wanna sit with us?” you offer.

“I do want to, but I have a diner to run”, he says, “sorry guys someone needs me”, he says, hurrying off to new customers afterwards.

“Poor man”, Jungkook says.

“Yeah”, you all agree, turning your attention to your food afterwards.

You have long finished your food when Hoseok joins you, strutting through the threshold with his signature smirk on his lips. Taehyung spots him before anyone else does.

“Hoseok!”

Like that the attention of everyone else shifts to the smiling man.

“Guys finally you’re back in town again”, he calls out.

“Oh my god Hobi!” you laugh, running to him.

Hoseok runs too, extending his arms to catch you.

“Come to Papi”, he says and laughs as he twirls you and him around.

“Nooo but me down, you ruined it”, you whine, “don’t call yourself papi, it’s so weird.”

Hoseok puts you down on your feet, smirking cockily.

“No you’re weird, it’s very popular with the ladies.”

You roll your eyes, “keep dreaming honey.”

Hoseok merely laughs and turns to hug the others.

“Seok hey”, Seokjin had just joined you after sending the last of his customers home.

“Jin hey”, Hoseok greets him with a brotherly handshake, “nice overalls”, he says, letting his eyes run over his body in those blue jeans overalls.

“Thank you. I look good in them”, he says nonchalantly.

“Of course you do”, you say with a grin.

“You guys look refreshed. Did you like the food?”Seokjin says, looking at you.

“We loved it. It was amazing. No joke”, Jimin says, nodding vigorously.

“Thank you”, Seokjin grins, “also everyone turn around for me.”

You all turn.

“That’s tight”, Hoseok gasps.

“Nice matching jackets”, Seokjin says.

“Right?” you giggle excitedly and pose, “the Black Aces’ new logo. Doesn’t it look so cool?”

Jungkook grins happily because you were so excited to show off your matching jackets. He reaches for your hand and intertwines his fingers with yours, smiling softly when he feels you squeeze him on instinct.

“It looks really cool. Goddamn those details in the design though”, Hoseok gushes, running his fingers over the stitchery on Taehyung's jacket.

“I know, right? Credit goes to my man. He came up with the design”, you say and nudge Jungkook’s arm.

“That’s tight. You couldn’t possibly design a tattoo for me too, could you?” Seokjin says, earning himself a choir of surprised noises.

“You wanna get a tattoo?” Hoseok gasps, widening his eyes.

Seokjin nods his head nonchalantly, “I’m getting wild in my old days.”

“In your old days. Dude you’re in your thirties, you’re not old.”

“Well I feel it. Just yesterday my back hurt when I lied down in bed.”

“That’s because you always sit like a shrimp in front of your computer.”

You snort at Hoseok’s remark, Jungkook chuckles.

“Either way”, Seokjin says, “what do you say Jungkook? Do you think you could design a tattoo for me?”

“Of course I can hyung. You just gotta tell me what you have in mind. Do you want it in shades of black or do you want colour too? Also the placement is important, as well as the size. I’m open for everything”

“I just know that I want it on my back. Maybe something that makes me look cool.”

“I can work with that. We just gotta meet up and talk about it more. I could show you a few drafts too, I worked on a few designs for back tattoos lately. Maybe you like one of them for yourself.”

And while the two continue talking about Seokjin’s future back tattoo, the rest of you leave the diner, walking to your bikes and cars to get ready for what you were actually here for.

It was New Years after all and what better way to celebrate the start of a new year then drive to Shipwreck Bay and dance until the sun was rising on the horizon.

Seokjin will bring the snacks and drinks.

Hoseok will bring the music.

And Namjoon and his girlfriend will meet up with you at the beach, bringing the blankets.

It was the perfect plan and something you were looking forward to the entire week. It was pretty spontaneous and the result of a three am drunken Christmas dinner conversation where Jimin brought up the possibility of celebrating the new year together. You all agreed to do it in an instant, counting the days until it was finally time.

You all park by the side of the road behind some high scrubs and then off you went, wandering down the windy forest paths until the sound of the ocean was in your ears. You giggled the entire time, using what little light the sun was still offering as your guidance and holding each other in order not to fall.

The forest parts in a clean cut, revealing the small beach to your eyes. High cliffs were surrounding it, casting deep shadows on the white sand.

“Holy shit”, Jungkook gasps, reaching for your hand on instinct.

“Do you like it?” you ask him, watching his big eyes widen and begin to sparkle.

“It’s so beautiful”, he whispers.

You smile fondly and rest your cheek against his arm.

“I’m so happy you like it. That beach has more stories to tell than any other beach. We basically grew up on this beach, didn’t we guys?”

“Yeah”, Hoseok agrees with a fond smile.

“It’s true yeah”, Jimin says and giggles, “and now we are going to get married here. Can you imagine that honeybear?” he says and shakes Yoongi by his shoulders.

“I’m imagining it”, Yoongi murmurs, grinning goofily with his eyes closed.

“Fuck I love you so much, you know that?” Jimin says, retorting to squishing Yoongi’s cheeks.

“I love you too”, Yoongi says, gazing into his fiance’s eyes.

“Come here and kiss me.”

“Okay that’s my queue”, Seokjin says, climbing down the rocks to the beach.

“I’ll do what he does”, Hoseok says, following Seokjin with his brows furrowed in concentration.

Taehyung follows the two men, looking up at you.

“You guys coming too?”

You and Jungkook sneak a glance at a heavily making-out Jimin and Yoongi.

“Honestly I think it’s for the best if we did”, you say, “come baby, they’ll join us later”, you tell Jungkook and tug at his arm.

"Damn that's a whole adventure getting down to this beach", Jungkook says, dirtying his hands by supporting himself on the ground.

"It's so worth it", you say, climbing down quickly.

You jump down the last two rocks, landing beside Taehyung with a low grunt.

“Jesus, you okay?” he startles, watching you raise your head with a grin.

“I’m more than okay. Fuck man, Shipwreck Bay. Do you even know how many times I wanted to come back here?”

Taehyung smiles fondly.

“Excuse me for a moment, I need to run.”

And with that run off with a happy yell, catching up with Hoseok and Seokjin and zooming past them with your arms stretched above your head. They laugh and join you a second later, forgetting all about the fact that they are grown up to instead laugh and squeak like little boys.

And it was perfect like that. It was so utterly and truly perfect.

Namjoon and his girlfriend joined you an hour later, bringing the blankets. You all greeted them with happy smiles and tight hugs. Now you were truly complete, one big family ready to dance into the new year. And you did. You did lots of dancing, singing loudly to the music Hoseok picked and wishing for time to stop.

Namjoon and his girlfriend were basically glued to each other the entire time, hugging each other with their eyes closed. It was so lovely to watch because Namjoon hasn’t smiled that much in years and he deserved it. At some point Hoseok, Seokjin and Taehyung decided that they wanted to go swimming, which resulted in them stripping to their boxers and running down to the ocean. A moment later you could hear their screams as they had to realise that the water was colder than they had thought. They still went swimming though, cursing the winter and shivering like crazy. It was all just silly playing and Yoongi and Jimin used the opportunity to make out on the sand, which honestly bordered close to fucking but you all tried not to look. Also you shouldn’t complain, two minutes later you and Jungkook were making out next to the bonfire with Jungkook’s back resting against a log and you sitting on his lap.

He just tastes so amazing when he is happy. Also the tequila made his lips just that much more addicting. And while your lips moved in synch and your hands were running over his body, you realised that only he can make you feel so endless. As long as you can find your way back to his arms you could do anything and maybe, just maybe, this new year was only as epic as it was because you got to kiss him.

The kiss breaks, Jungkook had to break it to chuckle breathlessly.

"Fuck baby I'm kinda hard", he whispers.

You giggle, drawing closer whilst sneaking a glance up at Namjoon and his girlfriend.

"Quiet. They can hear you", you whisper, pressing your finger to his lips.

He parts his mouth and bites down on your finger playfully.

"Ouch", you gasp and flinch back, breaking into drunk giggles afterwards, "don't do that Koo."

"Then don’t put your finger close to my mouth", he says, smirking lazily.

"Fuck Koo", you say, burying your face in his chest, "I'm so drunk", you confess in a giggle.

Jungkook squeezes your hips.

"You're so cute", he says, making you raise your head.

"You're cute too", you lull and squeeze his face between your hands, "oh god", you squeeze him harder, "I literally can’t believe you're mine. You’re so cute."

Jungkook smiles when you claim his lips in a kiss, mewling quietly in an instant and letting his eyes flutter closed.

You break the kiss to giggle and nuzzle your face into his neck.

"I'm cute?" he whispers, grinning.

"Mhm so cute and handsome", you murmur, sucking on his neck lazily.

"___", Jungkook sighs, tilting his head to the side.

You bite down, making him tense then shudder.

"Careful please I'll grow hard" he sighs, listening to your giggle.

"Sorry, you’re just so yummy. I wanna eat you whole."

Your eyes meet in a dazed gaze.

"Fuck you’re really wasted aren’t you?" he says and laughs.

"Yeah so much", you agree in a chuckle.

Jungkook draws closer, "kiss me baby", he rasps, eyes flitting to your lips.

And you do. You kiss him until your heads were dizzy and your lips were tingling. You kiss him until the others interrupted you with an offer of cocktails and dance. You gave in groggily, you would have preferred to make out for longer, but you liked spending time with your friends too.

You and Jimin decided to go on a quick walk after two hours of dancing and drinking, wanting to talk for a little.

“Tonight’s perfect”, Jimin says and sighs.

“Yeah, tonight’s perfect”, you agree and look up at the sky.

You and him come to a halt just a few meters away from the others. The music and their laughter was still clear in your ears. It was just a little darker, now that you didn’t have the fire to brighten up your night.

"Do you think this will ever stop?" Jimin asks.

You look at your best friend. He is gazing at the stars with a fond smile on his lips.

"What do you mean?" you ask him.

"Do you think that there will come a time in our lives where we just exist as strangers that knew each other once?"

You look at everyone. Jungkook, Taehyung, Yoongi, Hoseok, Seokjin and Namjoon with his girlfriend. They all looked happy.

"Do you think that one day Namjoon will be the world famous author with whom we shared an apartment with, who never left his room but when he did it was to help us with his wisdom and comforting words and whose way-too-big bed collected dust in our attic for five years?"

Namjoon was smiling brightly, running to his girlfriend and Seokjin with a little crab in his hand. You watch him show it to them with a happy sparkle in his eyes.

"Do you think Seokjin will one day be nothing more than our former boss, who always wore jeans jackets, who worked harder than anyone else and who acted all serious in the diner but outside he was a complete crackhead?"

You look at Seokjin. He was complimenting Namjoon's find, most definitely cracking a joke afterwards as you can soon hear his famous laugh echo through the night. You look up at the sky and somehow you get the feeling that his laugh made another star appear in the night sky.

"And Hoseok-"

You look at your friend. He was currently sipping on a cocktail, swinging his hips to the music and making Taehyung laugh.

"You think that one day he will be nothing more than our town's mechanic? While in reality he was so much more?"

Hoseok smiles, draping his arm over Taehyung's shoulder to make him dance with him. Taehyung joins him with a cute giggle, throwing his head back and shaking his booty happily. Hoseok compliments him with a sweet smile, the kind that reaches his eyes.

"Our best friend, who always acted like he sucks at love but who showed all of us more love than anyone else? Our comfort, who made us both feel better when we felt like dying in heartbreak. Our brother, who gave Taehyung a home when he had long given up hope of ever finding one. Our best friend, who sacrificed two hours of his Friday nights for three years to drive Namjoon to his creative writing lessons because he was the only one with a license. Our shoulder to lean on, who was the first one to make Seokjin smile after his divorce. And our longest partner in crime, who gave the loves of our lives an opportunity to work and in return gave us an opportunity to find happiness."

You look at Hoseok with glassy eyes. Even now you watch as he gives up his cocktail to share it with a pouting Namjoon. And he does so with his signature heart smile on his lips and unconditional adoration in his eyes.

"Do you think that one day all of those things will turn into simply Jung Hoseok, the town's mechanic?"

You sigh, watching Hoseok as he turns around to offer you a sip of his cocktail too. You decline with a smile. He smiles and nods his head in understanding, turning back to Taehyung to continue dancing with him.

"And one day do you think that the three most important people in our stories will become the stranger's they once were?"

You look at Jimin for a moment then back at everyone else. Taehyung, munching on a sandwich with a cute pout whilst shaking his hips to the music. Yoongi, dressed in black and wearing a soft smile as he sits by the fire with him.

You smile.

Jungkook, the cute biker with dark hair, inked skin and a preference for wearing leather jackets, who years ago shook up your life by strutting through the diner's threshold and looking at you with those dark brown eyes of his'.

"Do you think that Taehyung will be nothing more than the biker, who we helped overcome his addiction and who became a friend so dear to us he became family? Do you think he'll be nothing more than just another friend of our long lost youth one day? That all those endless nights of tears and horror and later when we felt better all those nights of laughter and hugs will be nothing but distant memories of a better life?"

Taehyung turns just this moment, looking at you and Jimin and calling out to join him. He looks happy as he does, dark hair glowing auburn in the light of the fire, boxy smile making his cheeks stick out and dark eyes sparkling in the stars.

"Later Tae!" you call out.

Taehyung nods and turns back around. He seems so content at this moment, so truly happy with himself.

You and Jimin sigh, looking over at Jungkook and Yoongi by the fire.

"Do you think that one day they won’t be our lovers anymore? Yoongi won’t be my beautiful fiance anymore, who made me want to give up sleeping around because nobody else feels as good as he does. Yoongi, who loves so shyly yet deeply and who melts when the love is requited? Yoongi, who would literally kill for his brothers and who held the gang together like glue when times were filled with fighting. Do you think there'll come a day where I can’t call this mine anymore?"

Yoongi throws his head back in a loud laugh as Jungkook cracks a joke. He almost fell off the log, hadn’t the latter put an arm around his brother's waist in the last moment.

"And Jungkook. You think he won’t be yours one day?"

You look at him. Jeon Jungkook. The cute biker, who kissed you on the ferries wheel and drove you to the mountain plateau to look at the stars. Your lover, who made you scream in happiness on that green, green hill after you kissed in the junkyard.

Your biggest weakness, who showed you what heartbreak really feels like. Your greatest strength, who made forgiveness so easy.

Your favourite person, who makes you laugh like no other person ever could.

The love of your life, who makes the most mundane things feel like the biggest adventure.

Your Jungkook, who makes you look forward to waking up because it would mean that you could see him again.

You look at him and smile.

"Do you think that there will come a day where they become nothing more than three, hot bikers again? And that there will come a time where we hear their bikes for the last time?"

They turn then. Your Jungkook and Jimin's Yoongi.

"My love come here, it's almost midnight!" Yoongi calls out.

The others have gathered around the fire as well, hugging and holding each other so they could begin the new year as one united family.

"There's only a minute left darling hurry!" Jungkook calls out, waving his arms vigorously.

You intertwine your fingers with Jimin's.

You turn to look at your best friend, with whom you share so many memories, that paper would run out and ink would dry out before you could finish writing them all down.

"I don't know if days like these will come, where our family become strangers again, but I just know that this right here is how it is supposed to be and that is all that matters to me."

Jimin smiles.

"Now come, we have some cute bikers to kiss in the New Year", you say, dragging him with you just as the guys began counting down from thirty.
