"You are an idiot for thinking I was trying to fight you for Taehyung", Jungkook said after the doors closed behind Jieun and Taehyung and his twin rolled his eyes but his posture was more relaxed. "I'm sorry, Kook, I didn't mean to. Whenever he's around, I stop thinking properly. My mind is only set on protecting him, I want him as mine", Jeongguk said unhappily.

Jungkook sighed but he could understand what his brother was referring to. "I know what you mean because I am the same. But we're brothers and we have the same mate. I'm not your enemy, Gguk. If you start to fight me for my Mate, I will fight back. And we both know how that'll end."

It would end in a full blown war if the twins decided to fight each other for Taehyung.

"How can we work together then? I want him as mine, exclusively. You know how Midnight is. I'm used to sharing everything with you, why can't I do that now? Taehyung's our Mate, not mine alone. Why is it so hard for me?", Jeongguk said unhappily. The other stepped closer, hugging his twin whose phereomones were spiked with sadness and frustration. "We're gonna make it work, yeah? You and I are a team, we always made it work. And I think Tae wants to be with the both of us. He's both our Mate", Jungkook told his brother and that finally eased his frustration, returning the hug.

"Thanks Kook", the Trueblood whispered, the brothers staying together in silence until their pain and recent argument was forgotten.

°°°

Taehyung's new favorite place to be was the garden. He loved sitting in between the flowers, watching the wind caress them, sitting on the grass and staring up to the sky. It felt healing to watch the clouds pass, imagining figures and forms instead and giggling to himself because he was imagining love stories and fairytales. He felt more at ease nowadays, because his Mates spent time with him.

They were currently laying to his sides, next to him in the grass and watching the white clouds pass the sky, sometimes pointing at a funny looking cloud and commenting it. It filled the Omega's tensed heart with happiness. They were considerate with their touches, always asking Taehyung beforehand if they were allowed to touch him and Taehyung was grateful for it.

Surprisingly, he grew used to their touches really fast until he allowed them to always touch him, not needing to ask beforehand. The twins at first were hesitant, still are but once Taehyung stopped flinching away, even leaning into their touch, they grew more relaxed.

As for right now, Taehyung's head rested on Jeongguk's shoulder, his legs flung over Jungkook's thighs, each hand held by the twins, fingers caressing his skin and the little Omega was purring softly in comfort. His eyes were droopy and he felt so comfortable he could fall asleep. Spending time with his Mates like this has become Taehyung's favorite activity and he wanted to enjoy every second of it.

"This one looks like a cowboy hat."

"Oh oh, and this one is a sheep! I like sheep, they taste yummy."

"Can you not talk about food right now, thanks."

"I think this one looks like you, snappy and stinky."

"Aren't you describing yourself?"

"I will not hesitate to slam my fist into your ugly face."

"Hah, jokes on you, we have the same face!"

Taehyung giggled tiredly, head falling a little bit forward and his eyes closed. But he mewled, fluttering them open again because he wanted to stay awake and savor the moment, he had so little moments of happiness and he wanted to store every single one of them in his heart to never forget them and the feelings they made him feel.

"Are you tired, pup?", Jeongguk asked him softly, Jungkook wiping his long hair out of his eyes. Taehyung nodded, rubbing over his eyes with one first. "Wanna stay awake... we have so little time together, want to spend time with you", he mumbled tiredly and his Alphas cooed by his adorable cuteness.

"It's okay, baby, you can sleep. No need to stay awake for us, we have enough time to spend together", Jungkook said gently, pressing a kiss to his Omega's forehead. Taehyung smiled tiredly before he turned to cuddle into Jungkook's arms, the Alpha looking surprised at the tired little Omega but immediately pulled him against his strong chest. Taehyung's hand naturally curled up above his heart and he pressed his head into the space between neck and shoulder.

The Omega softly scented his Mate, a habit Taehyung has finally picked up again, a sign of utter comfort. Seokjin has hated when Taehyung did that with him and often slapped him for it, the little Omega always ending up crying his eyes out because his instincts demanded for him to scent. Jungkook smiled before he scented Taehyung back, holding his precious Omega in his strong embrace and completely forgetting Jeongguk's glare.

The Trueblood growled lowly, Midnight fighting to be let out but Jeongguk held her back. This was not the time for her possessiveness, Taehyung was so trusting and comfortable at the moment and Jeongguk didn't want to ruin that.

"We won't leave your side if you don't want us to, pup", Jeongguk said gently with a shaky exhale and Jungkook looked worried to him, sending a silent question to his brother which Jeongguk denied. "S-scared t-to sleep in the open", Taehyung struggled to say, eyes fluttering open and close. The Alphas scurried closer until they held the boy in the middle, protecting him with their buff figures.

Taehyung felt tiny in their middle but warm and protected because they were shielding him, arms circlign around his petit frame. "Better?", Jeongguk asked softly and Taehyung nodded against Jungkook's neck. He was so thankful to have such understanding mates, the warm feeling in his heart spreading and making him giddy from happiness.

"Thank you... for being there for me...", he mumbled tiredly, finally drifting to sleep in his Mates' secure embrace. Taehyung was not afraid of them anymore, seeking their presence and enjoying their touches. The Omega was finally healing, forgetting about Seokjin's toxic presence which was exactly what his Mates wanted.

They smiled before kissing his hair.

"Everything for you, Taehyung. Our Omega."

"Love you", they then heard Taehyung's tiny voice and they nearly burst from happiness.

"You have no idea how much we love you, Taehyungie."
