Work Text:
Jungkook sat in the stale air of a jail cell. His wrists and ankles were bound to prevent him from getting free. There was a blindfold on his eyes so he couldn't see his surroundings. The guards had put it on when they tossed him in the cell. He had no idea what time it was. He hadn't been able to sleep at all. He still couldn't believe he got caught. He had never failed a mission before. If it wasn't for the maid suddenly coming in the room right when Jungkook was about to slit the king's throat he would have succeeded. He was going to get paid enough gold coin to retire… but now all that awaited him was a death sentence.
Suddenly the sound of a metal door opening made Jungkook sit up.
“Time to go.” One of the guards said as two guards hauled him up.
Jungkook's bound feet dragged on the floor as they carried him. He cursed under his breath as the guards moved him who knows where. Jungkook was suddenly forced on his knees and the blindfold was ripped off him. He blinked a little as his eyes adjusted. He was still in what looked like a dungeon. The king and queen standing not ten feet from him. The only guards were the two holding him.
“Any last words, Jeon?” King Choi demanded.
Jungkook narrowed his eyes. He hated this man. Most of this kingdom hated him. He was a tyrant and taxed his citizens way too much. Most were scraping by while King Choi and the lucky super rich families were living more than comfortably. That was why he was more than happy to take this job.
“You should know that the one who hired me was your brother. The one currently away making trade agreements with your allies on your behalf. He wants your throne.” Jungkook informed.
Jungkook felt no loyalty to the Choi brother that hired him. He had been just as power hungry as this one, but one less Choi brother might have been good. Plus, he couldn't pass up the payment he was supposed to get. King Choi’s eyes flashed.
“I should've known he’d betray me sooner or later.” He said angrily.
Jungkook likely just sent the other Choi brother to his death, but he couldn’t bring himself to care.
“I hope you know that was not enough for me to set you free.” King Choi said.
Jungkook wasn't surprised at all really.
“Didn't think it would. I'd be careful of eating or drinking anything for the next few days though. You have no idea what I could have planted.” He said with a smirk.
Jungkook was completely bullshitting now, but he couldn't go out without making King Choi squirm a little. The king easily fell for it too.
“What? What did you do?” He demanded.
Jungkook chuckled darkly.
“Nothing at all.” He replied with a smirk.
The queen visibly blanched before leaving the room. Probably going to talk to staff about the possible poison. King Choi stepped forward with nothing but hate in his eyes.
“Your miserable existence is over. I'll let the beast take care of you.” King Choi said. “Guards. Throw him in the dragon pit.”
Jungkook’s eyes widened. A dragon? No way. How the hell did they capture a whole dragon? This crazy king’s executioner was a goddamn dragon. Jungkook always dreamed of seeing a real dragon. They were so rarely seen around here, but Jungkook never wanted to meet a dragon like this. The guards put the blindfold back on before dragging Jungkook again. Jungkook really tried struggling. No. It was bad enough he was going to die to a dragon and his arms and feet were bound, but they were going to keep him blindfolded? The sound of a metal door opened and Jungkook was roughly shoved forward. He yelped as he landed on the ground with a thud. Then he heard the sound of the metal door closing. Jungkook maneuvered to at least sit up. He listened for any sort of sound, but all he heard were the guards footsteps that were leaving. Was there really a dragon? Maybe the king was lying too? Though Jungkook got the eerie feeling he was being watched. His heart was racing as he waited for anything to happen. It was agony.
“Come on. At least take my blindfold off so I can face my death!” He tried calling out.
Then Jungkook heard footsteps again. Did it work? Instead of someone taking his blindfold off he felt someone grip the back of his shirt and start to drag him again.
“Asshole. Now where are we going?” He demanded.
There was no answer. After a few moments the stranger finally let go of his shirt. He fell forward again but raised up again. Before he could complain again the blindfold suddenly fell from his eyes. Jungkook blinked in surprise. He quickly took in his surroundings. He was… he didn't know where he was. It looked like another concrete jail cell. Ahead of him he saw a big pile of what looked like animal furs on the ground. Jungkook also quickly realized he didn't see anyone. Who was able to take his blindfold off and disappear so fast? Jungkook picked up the fabric that was his blindfold. It hadn't been untied, it had been cut by something sharp.
“I know you're here.” Jungkook spoke up. “I was told there was a dragon in here. I was excited for a moment. I used to have a book of dragons when I was a kid. It's been a dream to see one. It would be a shame if that had been a lie.” Jungkook rambled.
There was a sound to his left that his head quickly turned toward. His eyes widened a little as he saw two golden eyes with slitted pupils peering at him in the dark. All he could see was the glowing eyes, no hint of the figure’s shape. Those definitely weren't human eyes, but he expected them to be bigger.
“Why are all humans so loud?” a low voice asked.
Jungkook was shocked again. If this was the dragon… the dragon was talking to him.
“When we are possibly about to die then yes.” Jungkook retorted. “Are you the one that's going to kill me?”
The golden eyes looked him up and down before they narrowed on him.
“I haven't decided yet.” The low voice said.
Jungkook was going to ask what the hell he meant when the figure stepped out of the shadows. Jungkook had to stop his jaw from dropping. Now this was not what he expected when he thought of a dragon. What he saw was almost like a human. He had a surprisingly handsome face, dark hair, light skin, and almond shaped eyes. He wasn't all human though. He had curved black horns on his head, sharp claws, and a tail that ended with thistle-like spikes. He also had patterns of onyx colored scales decorating his cheek bones. This was the dragon? He looked half human half dragon. Maybe he was some sort of hybrid? He had no idea dragons had a form like this. He was beautiful, but not what Jungkook expected at all.
“You're not what I expected a dragon to look like.” He admitted.
The dragon man came closer until he was only a few feet away.
“Humans don't know much about dragons these days.” He answered.
Jungkook supposed that was true. Little was known about them. What books there were, were so hard to find.
“You are the one the king said would kill me.” Jungkook said.
He didn't seem too dangerous right now. If Jungkook had his arms and ankles free he could probably take him. Just as he thought that Jungkook heard a rumble. He quickly recognized the sound of a growling stomach. It definitely came from the dragon man who’s eyes narrowed again.
“I’m feeling very tempted. I haven't eaten in a month.” The dragon said as his eyes looked Jungkook up and down again.
Jungkook gulped. The dragon was sizing him up.
“What's your name, human?” He asked.
Jungkook was getting the feeling he was getting played with. There was something calculating and assessing in the dragon’s eyes. It made him uneasy.
“Jungkook. And you?” he asked.
There was a full minute of silence before the dragon finally decided to answer.
“Yoongi.” He said.
Jungkook eyed Yoongi with suspicion. He didn't know what Yoongi really wanted, but he couldn't help but be curious of him at the same time.
“Is this how you look all the time?” Jungkook couldn't help but ask.
Yoongi's face hardened even more than before. Was that offensive? Pissing him off probably wouldn't go well.
“No. I have another form. The typical one humans know of is the big scaley beast form with wings. Likely like the ones in the book you mentioned earlier.” Yoongi explained.
Jungkook looked around the room. It wasn't a huge room. If this dragon stayed down here he probably had to stay in this form.
“Speaking of the book. I have a few questions about it.” Yoongi added.
Jungkook couldn't hide his surprise.This dragon wanted to know about the dragon book? Did he not know much about his own species? Or maybe he always grew up down here? Yoongi began to walk in slow circles around Jungkook. He resembled a circling vulture.
“How many colors do dragons come in?” Yoongi asked.
Jungkook tilted his head. The colors? This felt a little silly, but if it bought him time he'd go with it.
“Red, blue, brown, green, white, grey, copper, and of course black.” Jungkook replied easily.
Jungkook had been obsessed with that book so he knew every chapter. Yoongi nodded a little.
“That's correct. Next question.” Yoongi said.
Jungkook paused. Wait. Was this dragon quizzing him about dragon knowledge? He only knew one book’s worth of information.
“What’s the difference between a wyvern and a dragon?” Yoongi asked.
Jungkook actually smiled. That one was one he loved talking about when he was a kid. He liked to correct people who were wrong.
“Oh that's easy. Dragons have four legs and wyvern have two. Wyvern are a subspecies of dragon and they are also smaller than their dragon cousins.” He replied.
Yoongi actually seemed a little impressed. Jungkook was proud to know such things. This knowledge had never been very useful until now.
“One more question about the book.” Yoongi said.
Jungkook gulped nervously. This would determine whether this dragon would decide if he would have Jungkook for dinner or not.
“What do dragons eat?” Yoongi asked.
Jungkook knew this was a trick question. Obviously they ate meat, but he knew which dragons liked what.
“Red, black, grey and brown dragons prefer deer, sheep, cows, humans and things like that. Blue, green, copper and white dragons prefer fish.” Jungkook recalled.
Yoongi’s frown finally faded and his steps slowed until he stopped walking completely. Jungkook was right and he knew it. And to think his father said that book was useless.
“Was that the last question?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi finally seemed to get over his surprise.
“Actually, that wraps up the book. You know more correct information than most humans I’ve met.” He said.
Jungkook smiled more. Did he win?
“Does that mean you won't eat me?” He asked.
Yoongi crossed his arms.
“I have a few more questions that aren't about the book.” He said.
Jungkook slumped. More questions? What else did the dragon want to test him on?
“What did you do to get a death sentence?” Yoongi asked.
Oh. Yoongi kept surprising him. Or maybe he was hallucinating in that old cell waiting for the death sentence. He had expected his head to get chopped or drink poison. With this dragon he might get talked to death.
“I'm an assassin. I earn money by killing people. I was hired to take out the king.” Jungkook answered honestly.
Yoongi quirked an eyebrow.
“You got caught.” He guessed.
Jungkook nodded a little.
“I've never failed before, but my plan didn't go as I intended.” He said with a huff.
His kill streak was over. He had worked hard on his reputation. What an embarrassment to get caught by King Choi.
“Do you still crave his blood?” Yoongi asked.
Jungkook met Yoongi's blazing eyes. Was the king important to this dragon? Did he just fuck himself over?
“If I had the chance I would kill him. This kingdom would be better off without him.” Jungkook admitted.
Maybe he was foolish, but he wouldn't lie and say he would spare the king when he knew he wouldn't. Yoongi smirked a little.
“Good. I'm glad we have a common enemy.” He said.
Jungkook rather liked Yoongi's smirk. That wasn't the important thing though. Yoongi wanted him dead too. So that anger before wasn't directed at him. Yoongi hated the king too.
“You want the king dead too? Why?” Jungkook wondered.
Yoongi looked around the concrete room with disdain.
“I'm a prisoner here. The king tosses humans in every so often when one gets put to death.” He replied.
How stupid was King Choi to go and lock up a dragon? Dragons aren’t known to forgive. They hold lifelong grudges.
“Can’t you change forms and bust out of here?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi sighed and brought a hand up to a metal collar around his neck.
“I can't. If I could I would have been out of here long ago. The king trapped me with this. It’s an enchanted collar that strips away my ability to change forms and breathe fire.” Yoongi explained.
Jungkook was horrified to hear that. A dragon that couldn't be a dragon? That sounded awful.
“Do you know why he keeps you down here?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi finally looked at him again.
“That entitled ass thinks tricking me was a great idea to convince me to bond with him.” He said with an angry growl.
His dragon knowledge was coming to a standstill. What kind of bond was Yoongi talking about?
“What do you mean by a bond?” he asked.
Yoongi grumbled something to himself before he spoke up.
“Ages ago some dragons used to bond with humans. It becomes an unbreakable tether that links them together. Dragons choose their riders for their own reasons. The two become a formidable team to defeat their enemies, protect their homes, take over kingdoms or whatever else they decide. The king has kept me here in hopes I'll break and give in to bonding to him. I’ll never allow it.” He said.
Jungkook couldn't stop his jaw from dropping this time. He had heard stories of legendary humans who were lucky enough to impress a dragon enough to ride one.
“Okay, I only had one book on dragons so all I know of dragon riders is that they are considered myths.” He answered.
Yoongi nodded a little.
“It's been a long time since there have been bonded pairs. The last one I know of was when my great great great grandmother was alive.” He explained.
Jungkook had a hard time believing dragons would consider pairing up with humans at all.
“Why haven't there been any more pairs for so long?” He asked.
Yoongi looked down at the ground.
“We do have a choice of who we bond, but we will still feel a tug if we were to meet a possibly worthy human. A dragon can reject it to find another human or if they don't want to bond at all. That all depends on the dragon. No dragon for generations has felt any sort of pull to any humans. Without that tugging feeling we feel nothing toward humans. There are many theories, but no one knows.” Yoongi explained.
Jungkook didn't know why the king thought he could bring back this who knows how old dragon custom. The king is too greedy for power to see the reality.
“Hmm. It's cruel to keep you down here without even a view of the sky. That idiot thinks he can be special and make a dragon bond him? Ridiculous.” Jungkook said with a huff.
Yoongi deserved to be free. Jungkook barely even knew this dragon, but he knew he deserved a better life than this.
“Is there any way to get the collar off?” He asked.
Yoongi had his head tilted to the side as he observed him, assessing him again before he fully faced him.
“The only way is if I bond a human. If I find my rider he or she could get the collar off.” Yoongi replied.
Jungkook didn't want to believe that was the only way. So Yoongi either gets trapped here all his life or he will be forced into a bond? Both sounded terrible. It was then Jungkook realized Yoongi was standing right in front of him. Jungkook looked up at him and his cheeks darkened. Yoongi at this angle was… exciting. Yoongi crouched until he was eye level with Jungkook. Jungkook couldn't help but notice Yoongi was even prettier up close.
“Are you going to eat me now?” Jungkook asked quietly. “I can understand why. I couldn't last a whole day without food let alone a month.”
That caused Yoongi's lips to form a small smile. Jungkook supposed there were worse ways to die. At least he got to talk to a real dragon first.
“Just one more question.” Yoongi said in a serious tone.
Jungkook gulped at his seriousness. This was it wasn't it? His last chance. He nodded a little and waited for his last question.
“Have you ever had dreams of flying before? One that you've had multiple times” Yoongi asked in a hushed voice.
Jungkook looked at Yoongi strangely. He’s never thought much about it, but he has always had dreams about flying. How would Yoongi know that though?
“I have. It's always just gliding over a forest with a sky full of stars above me. The moon is always shining brightly. I've had that dream come to me ever since I was a kid.” Jungkook said honestly.
He didn't know why that was important, but it seemed to be very important to Yoongi. Because his answer made Yoongi's golden eyes widen in pure shock.
“You… it really is you.” He breathed.
Jungkook leaned back a little. He would have remembered if they met before right?
“I don't know what you're talking about.” He said.
Yoongi's eyes didn't leave his own. Jungkook didn't think having a flying dream would cause such a big reaction.
“I think you just got yourself a dragon.” Yoongi said slowly as if not believing it himself.
Jungkook's eyes widened. Yoongi wanted to bond him. There was no way he could be a rider. He couldn't be that special.
“I'm certainly far from worthy. I'm no one important. Why would you even want me?” He protested.
Yoongi shook his head in, Jungkook could have sworn, annoyance.
“I test every human the king throws in here. I knew it was nearly impossible to get lucky enough to meet the right one. I felt absolutely nothing for any of the other humans. I still tested them just to see, but they always disappointed me. Then when they shoved you in here. It felt different. Something about your scent told me you aren't like the others. It reminded me of what the elders told me the tugging feeling to a possible rider feels like.” Yoongi said calmly.
Jungkook just stared at Yoongi. Yoongi has felt a tug? The whole time he was in here?
“That's what all those questions were about?” He asked.
Yoongi wasn't just quizzing him for fun. He was testing him to see if he was the right choice for his rider. Yoongi nodded.
“Yes. I knew if I was to bond I wanted a human with at least some basic dragon knowledge. That's hard to come by in humans, but it's important for a rider to know about his or her dragon. The more we’ve talked the more I'm feeling like this is right. Then your dream was the final key. Only a true dragon rider will get a recurring dream of flying.” Yoongi said.
Jungkook had never given his dreams much thought. He had no idea that a simple dream was something inside him telling him he would get to fly one day.
“You can still choose to reject the pull?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi frowned at that but he nodded.
“I can, but I don't want to. If you'd allow me to bond you I will, but you also have a choice. You can reject me if you choose.” Yoongi explained.
Jungkook couldn't help but hear the strain in Yoongi's voice when he spoke. Would he hurt Yoongi if he rejected him? If he did, the odds Yoongi would find another human he deemed worthy were slim.
“Are you sure you want this? You really think I'm the right choice?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi's clawed hands gently wrapped around his bound ones. He met Yoongi's golden eyes.
“I have never been more sure about anything in my life. No dragons have felt any hint of a tug toward any human in centuries, but here we are. This is too important for me to ignore. There is no way in hell I am rejecting you.” He said seriously.
Jungkook was left speechless. What did he even say to that? No one had ever chosen Jungkook. There was always something or someone more important to the people in Jungkook's life. Now here this dragon was trying to pledge himself to him for the rest of their days. Jungkook couldn't find a reason to turn down this amazing honor.
“Then I accept your bond. I swear on my life I will always try to be worthy of it.” Jungkook vowed.
Jungkook felt his heart skip when Yoongi smiled so brightly at him.
“You are worthy. Now let's seal the deal.” He said.
Yoongi's claw sliced through the ropes that bound Jungkook's wrists and ankles. Jungkook looked down and sighed a little as he could finally move freely.
“Fucking finally.” He breathed.
There were red rings of irritation where the ropes had been too tight.
“I need you to take your shirt off.” Yoongi informed.
Jungkook blinked in surprise. He looked up at Yoongi to find his shirt was already gone. Damn. This was one hot dragon. There were more black scales on Yoongi's shoulders. Jungkook could have sat there for hours looking at the mix of light smooth skin and the shiney black scales. The sound of a throat clearing brought Jungkook's mind back to what he was supposed to be doing. He forced his eyes to Yoongi's face. Yoongi had a smug looking smirk. Jungkook felt his face warm. He had been very obviously ogling his new friend.
“Why do we need our shirts off?” Jungkook asked.
If this bonding involved taking more clothes off Jungkook wouldn't mind.
“We don't want to get blood on our clothes.” Yoongi said simply.
Yoongi might as well have thrown a bucket of ice water over Jungkook because that certainly wasn't what he had been thinking.
“Blood?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi nodded.
“I have to use my claw to make my mark on you.” He answered.
That sounded like it was going to hurt. Jungkook wouldn't argue about it if this was the way to do it.
“Okay. Will it take long?” He asked.
Yoongi gave a small sigh.
“As long as you stay still I'll be as fast as I can.” He said.
Jungkook nodded a little. He wished the bond was sealed with less blood and more clothes off. Jungkook gave himself a shake. He didn't want to get too excited or he’d be even more embarrassed than he already had been. Jungkook finally took his shirt off.
“Where will you put it?” He asked.
Yoongi's eyes roamed over his bare torso as he assessed him. Jungkook bit his lip. He really liked the way Yoongi was looking at him. Jungkook yet again had to remind himself to chill. What the fuck was up with him? Jungkook had never been so horny for someone he just met. But he had never met someone as gorgeous as Yoongi.
“Your chest. Above where your heart is.” Yoongi seemed to decide.
Jungkook held back a chuckle. Yoongi wanted his mark to be close to his heart. That sounded so romantic in a weird way.
“Okay.” He agreed.
Yoongi sat more comfortably on the ground.
“Then stay still as best you can.” He instructed.
Jungkook nodded in understanding.
“I'll be as still as a statue.” He promised.
Though, Jungkook's resolve faltered the longer Yoongi took carving into his flesh. Jungkook had his eyes closed and his jaw clenched. Fuck Yoongi's claws were sharp. Good thing Yoongi hadn't accidently taken his ear off when he sliced that blindfold off. Jungkook hoped this would be over soon. This was definitely not as fast as he had been hoping.
“I'm almost done with the mark.” Yoongi informed.
Jungkook was so glad to hear it. He wondered what the mark would look like. He restrained himself from peeking, wanting to see the final product when it was finished. Jungkook looked at Yoongi’s focused expression. Gods he was handsome. Jungkook never thought he would be able to say that about a dragon. Suddenly a wave of warmth on Jungkook’s chest made him gasp softly.
“The hell was that?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi was smiling at him.
“The mark is complete.” He said proudly.
Jungkook glanced down and was shocked to not see any more blood. It now looked like he had a healed scar on his chest.
“There is a little mirror over there so you can see it.” Yoongi informed.
Jungkook got to his feet and went over to the small mirror. His eyes widened. The mark was in the shape of a dragon's wing. Jungkook couldn't help but smile.
“That's so cool.” He said brightly.
Yoongi chuckled softly.
“I'm glad you like it. Now there is one more step before the bond is complete.” He answered.
Jungkook turned around to face Yoongi again. One more step and they were bonded for life.
“The final step is for us to exchange a drop of blood.” Yoongi said.
Jungkook held back a sigh. More blood. At least it would only be a drop this time.
“Okay. Are we doing finger pricks for this part?” Jungkook guessed.
Yoongi nodded.
“Yes. I’ll prick yours first. May I have your hand?” He said, outstretching his hand toward Jungkook.
Jungkook gently placed his hand in Yoongi’s hand. Yoongi then used his claw to prick his finger until his scarlet colored blood oozed out. Jungkook watched as Yoongi brought his hand up to his mouth. He held his breath as Yoongi licked up the drop of blood with a dark colored forked tongue. Jungkook found he rather liked the feeling of Yoongi’s tongue on his skin. Jungkook couldn’t deny how intimate this whole ritual felt between them.
“Your turn.” Yoongi said softly.
Yoongi then pricked his own finger then held his hand out for Jungkook. Jungkook quickly discovered dragon’s apparently have black colored blood. He gently grasped Yoongi’s hand and brought it close to his lips. He gave a tentative lick the tip of Yoongi's pointer finger. With that, what felt like a spiritual invisible string pulled him toward Yoongi and went taut between them. An unbreakable bond. Yoongi took a deep breath as he must have felt the same thing.
“It's complete.” Yoongi said softly.
Jungkook couldn't believe that a few hours ago he had been agonizing in his cell so sure he was going to die tonight. Now he was bonded to a dragon. He couldn't believe how lucky he truly was. Jungkook looked at Yoongi but before he could get his words out, Yoongi pressed their foreheads together. Jungkook went silent as their breaths mingled.
“I promise to always protect and care for you.” Yoongi vowed.
Jungkook smiled softly.
“And I promise to do the same.” He whispered.
Yoongi's eyes opened and it looked like he was going to protest, but Jungkook beat him to it.
“We are a team. I get to protect you too.” He said.
Yoongi leaned away, and Jungkook found he already missed the closeness.
“Next order of business is getting out of here.” Yoongi said.
Jungkook nodded in agreement.
“Right. Now that we are bonded I should be able to get your collar off and we can get out?” He asked.
Yoongi glanced down trying to see the collar.
“You should be able to unclasp it.” He replied.
Jungkook spotted the clasp on the collar.
“May I?” he asked.
Yoongi nodded rather eagerly.
“Yes please.” He said.
Jungkook’s fingers felt the cold metal of the collar. He truly hated King Choi. What kind of cruel person puts something like this on someone? Jungkook was able to unclasp the collar easily. Just like that the metal collar clanged to the concrete floor. It worked. Jungkook looked at Yoongi's face. Yoongi had his eyes closed. He took a long deep breath in before he exhaled a puff of smoke from his nose. Jungkook found the sight strangely hot.
“Feel better?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi opened his eyes and Jungkook could swear he saw flames dancing in them.
“Feels good to have the fire ignited in me again.” Yoongi said with a smile.
Jungkook smiled back at him.
“Great. You're finally free.” He chimed.
Yoongi’s eyes darted around the room.
“Not completely. We need to get out of this concrete hell.” He said.
The room was still too small for Yoongi to change forms and bust out of there.
“How do we do that?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi chuckled.
“Get your shirt back on first.” He said reaching for his own.
Jungkook looked over at his crumpled up shirt. Right. He didn't want to run around without a shirt. He quickly pulled his shirt back on.
“Now what?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi walked over to the cell door. Jungkook followed after him until Yoongi put his arm out to stop him.
“You'll want to stand behind me for this.” Yoongi warned.
Jungkook did as Yoongi said and stood behind him. He wanted to ask what the plan was, but there was a sudden burst of heat. Jungkook shielded his face from the intense heat as Yoongi blasted the metal door with fire from his mouth. The flames stopped and Yoongi coughed a little. Jungkook looked up again to see Yoongi actually melted the metal door. His jaw dropped.
“Oh wow.” He said in awe. “That's hot.”
Yoongi looked back at him with a smirk.
“Not so bad yourself. Now let's go.” He said before he took Jungkook's hand and led him down the hall.
Jungkook was speechless as he followed after him. He hadn't meant it that way, but he didn’t have time to explain that.
“I smell humans down that way. Come on, down this way instead.” Yoongi's voice brought Jungkook’s thoughts back to where they should be.
Now they were running through the tunnels of the big dungeon.
“There.” Jungkook pointed out a staircase going up. “I remember a long staircase when I was blind.”
Yoongi nodded before leading the way up the stairs. They burst through a wooden door. Two guards stood watch.
“Hey! Stop!” They shouted.
Jungkook instinctively reached for his dagger, but remembered it was gone. Not that he really needed it anyway. Yoongi shoved Jungkook behind him and snarled at the two guards.
“Wai-” They didn't even get to finish their plea before a bright flash of fire turned them to dust.
Jungkook blinked.
“That was easy.” He said.
Yoongi was looking up at the sky though.
“We’re outside.” He breathed.
Jungkook looked around. Oh how he had missed the sky. He would never take fresh air for granted again. Jungkook came to stand next to Yoongi and he looked at him.
“How long were you stuck in there?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi didn't take his gaze from the star filled night sky.
“Eight years.” He said quietly.
Jungkook's heart hurt hearing that. Yoongi was stuck in that hell for eight years barely getting enough food to survive. Jungkook would make Yoongi the most spoiled dragon ever. But first…
“Are you up for taking revenge?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi looked at him again, determination in his eyes.
“Oh I'm so ready.” He declared.
Jungkook smiled.
“Good. The king has caused enough harm. It's time for his reign to end.” He said.
Plus, Jungkook couldn't allow his killing streak to end. Yoongi smirked.
“I couldn't agree more. I can smell the city from here. We aren't far.” Yoongi said.
Jungkook nodded.
“Let's go get him.” He said.
Yoongi gave a big stretch.
“Ready for your first ride?” He asked.
Jungkook had nearly forgotten about that part. He would have to fly on the back of a dragon. The reality of that was coming back. Yoongi must have sensed his worry.
“Don't worry. You're a rider. You've got this.” Yoongi encouraged.
Jungkook squared his shoulders. Yoongi was right. According to his dream this was something he was meant for.
“I’m ready.” He decided.
Yoongi smiled.
“Good.”
Then right before Jungkook's eyes, Yoongi's form changed. Jungkook looked up and up and up until he saw Yoongi at his full height. He was enormous. The same onyx colored scales shone in the moonlight. His wings were a little torn in spots but they still looked powerful. The same curved horns Yoongi had on his head and his spiked tail reminded Jungkook this really was Yoongi. Yoongi leaned his large head down. Jungkook quickly noticed how easily Yoongi's jaws were likely big enough to snatch up more than one unlucky human if he chose to. Yoongi still had his golden eyes that looked so piercing against the black scales. Jungkook was absolutely enthralled. He only had a few drawing style pictures of dragons in that old book of his. They did not do the real thing justice at all. Yoongi in this form was so majestic and powerful.
“You're amazing.” Jungkook breathed.
Yoongi chuffed which sounded a lot like a laugh in dragon form.
‘Thank you. Now climb up.’ Yoongi's voice suddenly spoke.
Though, Jungkook didn't see his mouth move at all. And the voice… was in his head.
“You can talk in my head?” Jungkook asked in shock.
Yoongi lightly nudged him with his large snout, nearly knocking Jungkook over.
‘It's how we communicate when I'm in this form.’ He explained. ‘You can do it too.’
Jungkook had to focus for a few minutes.
‘Like this?’ Jungkook asked.
Yoongi nudged him again gently before crouching down.
‘Just like that. Now climb up before more guards come out of the dungeon.’ Yoongi said.
That got Jungkook moving. He carefully climbed up and settled at the base of Yoongi's neck. He gripped a couple spikes.
‘Ready.’ Jungkook said.
Yoongi stood to his full height. Jungkook took a deep breath. This was absolutely insane. He gasped when Yoongi lifted off the ground and took the sky. Jungkook held a death grip on Yoongi's spikes as they went up higher and higher. Once Yoongi was satisfied with their altitude he leveled out into a steady glide over some trees. Jungkook had wide eyes as he saw the kingdom not far ahead. Jungkook's breathing calmed as they flew at a steady pace.
“We’re really flying.” Jungkook said in awe.
He looked up and saw the sky full of stars. Then his eyes focused on the full moon. Just like his dream. Yoongi was right. Jungkook was meant for this. He smiled and looked forward.
Yoongi’s POV
Yoongi didn’t think he would ever taste the skies again. It took everything in him to keep himself under control and not do steep dives and barrel rolls. His soul craved the wind after not being able to fly for so long. Yoongi would be patient with his first time rider though. The thought made his heart warm. His rider. He actually met his rider. Yoongi never thought this day would come. Most dragons thought the era of dragon riders was long over. Yoongi didn't know if more bonds would start forming now or if they were a special case. Either way Yoongi couldn't be more proud of his new rider. He couldn't wait to see the look on the king’s face when he saw them. Just that would be such sweet revenge. Show off his newly bonded rider after the king kept him captive for eight years. One of the king’s enemies no less. Unlucky for the king that wouldn't be enough. He had to die. They were starting to approach the walls of the city. Yoongi's eyes locked on the castle for a moment before peeking back at Jungkook. His eyes were wide but he had a huge smile.
“This is awesome!” Jungkook chimed.
Yoongi chuffed. He was glad to see Jungkook already liked flying.
‘You'll need to command me where and what to attack, otherwise I will attack at will.’ He said speaking in Jungkook's mind. ‘Only tell me your commands in our mind link.’
Jungkook nodded quickly.
‘Alright.’ He agreed.
Yoongi looked forward again. If Jungkook wanted him to just go for the king, he would. If he wanted him to destroy the castle, he would. If he wanted to burn the whole city to the ground… he would. Yoongi would do anything for his human. Other humans didn't matter to him anyway.
‘Focus on just the castle, not the city.’ He decided. ‘The guards and anyone who attacks us first. Hold off on the citizens.’
Yoongi looked forward again. Castle only.
‘Alright.’ He agreed.
Yoongi bared his teeth in a snarl.
‘Let's make them pay.’
Once Yoongi started gliding over houses he released a furious roar with the anger of eight years in his heart. He needed to scare the king out of his palace. He wouldn’t mind torching the whole place, but Yoongi wanted to see his face when he saw Jungkook on his back.
‘Make a ring of fire around the palace’ Jungkook ordered.
Yoongi eyed the palace ahead. It was the perfect way to keep their target from running off. Once he was close enough he released burning hot fire that circled the palace, trapping everyone who was unlucky enough to be inside. Yoongi felt something poke at his side. He found some palace guards trying their best with some arrows. Those arrows weren’t strong enough to pierce his hide but Jungkook was soft without any sort of armor.
‘Hold on.’ He told Jungkook before he dove down, straight for the guards.
He felt Jungkook's grip tighten as he did. He went down low and scooped up three guards with his claws, he went back up high and dropped them. Their screams were cut off with dull thuds as they hit the ground, one of them falling on the roof of the palace. Yoongi was pleased with the sound. He whipped back around and shot another hot blast of fire as more guards ran out of the palace like little ants. They were reduced to ash in an instant. Yoongi roared again, relishing in his triumph. Humans were still easy to defeat.
‘Take out the tower.’ Jungkook ordered.
Yoongi's eyes quickly found the tall watch tower that had more archers getting ready. He flew straight for them and blasted hot fire at the archers. The roof caught on fire as well as three archers. Two were reduced to ash instantly, but one had just gotten his uniform on fire. The fire spread and engulfed him in inferno as he fell from the watchtower. Yoongi couldn't help the satisfaction he felt at his victim's demise. This was the most fun he’s had in ages.
‘There! The king is running for the stables!’ Jungkook said urgently.
Yoongi didn't hesitate. He dove down for King Choi. The king just barely missed Yoongi's claws when he dove into the building. Yoongi growled in frustration as he landed on the ground.
‘Guards behind us!’ Jungkook warned.
Yoongi whipped his head toward five guards charging at them with spears. Yoongi snarled and sent them flying with a whip from his spike tail. They hit the palace wall harshly and didn't get back up. Yoongi turned his attention back on the stable.
‘Rip it open.’ Jungkook ordered.
Yoongi used his teeth to rip off a big chunk of the roof and tossed it aside. The king was huddled in the middle.
‘Get him out here. I want to have words.’ Jungkook said.
The king tried to scramble to his feet and flee, but Yoongi wasn't losing him a second time. He snagged the king by his robe with his teeth, just barely missing his flesh. Yoongi lifted the struggling man then dropped him on the dusty ground. Before the King could try to get up Yoongi pinned him to the ground with his clawed foot.
Jungkook’s POV
Jungkook climbed down and stood calmly between Yoongi's front legs. The king tried struggling free, but it didn't seem to do anything. King Choi’s eyes locked with Jungkook’s
“Y-you! You're supposed to be dead! You’re a dirty thief! You stole my dragon!” King Choi accused.
Jungkook casually leaned against Yoongi’s leg.
“You have no claim to this dragon so I didn’t steal him.” He said. “Because of you I met my dragon. So thanks for that.”
The king had murder in his eyes as he glared back at Jungkook.
“A peasant like you isn't worthy.” He hissed.
King Choi whimpered as one of Yoongi’s talons threatened to pierce his chest.
‘Can I kill him now?’ Yoongi asked in a deathly growl.
Jungkook was enjoying taunting the king and wanted a bit more.
‘Soon.’ He assured.
He stood up straight and came closer to the king.
“I wouldn’t say stuff like that if I were you. He doesn’t like it.” Jungkook warned.
He patted his hip where his dagger should be.
“It’s a shame I don’t have my dagger. I came back to finish my task of killing you.” Jungkook said.
He would need a new dagger for sure. The king opened his eyes to glare at Jungkook again.
“For the damn gold my brother promised you?” King Choi demanded.
Jungkook smiled, but it wasn’t a friendly smile.
“This isn’t about the gold anymore. This is about my reputation. I have never not gotten one of my targets. I’m not starting that now.” He answered. “You have caused enough harm to me, to this dragon and to your kingdom.”
Jungkook heard a rumble of approval in his head from Yoongi. The king looked like he was going to say something else, but Jungkook was done listening to him.
“Your time is over.” Jungkook said before moving out of the way.
The king’s eyes widened, clearly never imagining the tables could even be turned this drastically.
‘Kill him.’ Jungkook ordered.
Yoongi snarled as he unleashed his broiling hot fire on King Choi. In a matter of seconds the king was nothing but ash. Yoongi let out a triumphant sounding roar. Jungkook couldn’t resist throwing his fist in the air and cheering with Yoongi.
‘You're probably starving after all that. There is a flock of sheep with your name on it.’ Jungkook said with a grin.
Jungkook didn't miss the sparkle in Yoongi's eyes.
‘That sounds so damn good right now.’ Yoongi admitted.
Yoongi looked around the wrecked palace.
‘What do you want to do about this kingdom? The king is dead. Will we leave or will you take it over?’ Yoongi asked.
Jungkook hadn't even considered taking over the kingdom for himself. He had just wanted to kill King Choi. If he left the other Choi brother would take it over. Then it would be the same shit. Jungkook might be in over his head, but he wouldn't let this kingdom suffer anymore.
‘I'll need your help convincing everyone I'm in charge now.’ Jungkook informed.
Jungkook could see the pride in Yoongi's eyes.
One month later
Yoongi’s POV
Yoongi had been in hell living in that old man-made den getting an occasional human for sustenance. Now he was living his best life. He hadn’t known Jungkook very long, but he was the best thing that had ever happened to him. It felt like they had known each other all their lives. Jungkook gave him plenty of food, thanks to that he was gaining his muscle and full strength back. He could lay peacefully in the sunlight while Jungkook read to him, relaxed enough to doze off and have a nice nap. He felt happy when he was with Jungkook, which was most hours of the day. Yoongi had insisted on being close so he could be there if Jungkook needed him. With him being a new king it was important to stay on guard. Yoongi felt a strong sense of protectiveness for Jungkook even when he slept. Yoongi had tried to assure that he could sleep on the floor of Jungkook's room, but Jungkook insisted on him sharing the bed. Which was odd at first since he had never slept in a human nest before. He got used to it rather quickly though. It was nice to sleep next to Jungkook. He was warm at night. Yoongi shook off the thoughts and looked out at the approaching guests as they entered the courtyard. He was in his black dragon form curled halfway around the throne Jungkook was seated in. Yoongi was so proud of Jungkook. He had been doing well so far. There were some remaining guards and staff that were having a hard time adjusting to the new king. Luckily most were too scared of Yoongi to do anything about it. Anyone who has tried any sort of revenge has ended up dead.
Jungkook was sitting slightly sideways on the throne with his feet propped up on the armrest. Yoongi had to admit Jungkook was a bit unconventional at times, but he liked it. Today, the brother of King Choi finally returned home. He was returning home expecting his brother to be dead and the throne to be his. Jungkook wasn't about to let that happen.
“Welcome, I’m sure you didn't expect us to meet like this.” Jungkook greeted.
Mr.Choi looked absolutely shocked.
“I heard some rumors, but didn't quite believe them. When I hired you to kill my brother I didn’t think you’d have it in you to take the throne for yourself and somehow get yourself a dragon.” Mr.Choi answered.
Jungkook smiled a little.
“It wasn’t the plan, but it worked out this way.” He replied with a shrug.
Mr. Choi's eyes went to Yoongi for a moment. Yoongi stayed indifferent, not wanting to give them indication he was ready at any moment to turn them to ash.
“Mr.Jeon, I thank you for completing your mission and taking care of my kingdom until I returned.” Mr.Choi said, waving someone forward.
Two guards, who had been traveling with Mr.Choi, came forward carrying a medium sized chest. They set it down and opened it. It was full of gold. Jungkook looked at it for a moment before looking at Mr.Choi again.
“Oh you can keep that. I have more than enough gold thanks to your brother.” Jungkook said.
Mr.Choi was taken aback at the refusal.
“Is there something else you want? I’d like to reward you for taking this kingdom for me.” He said with a smile.
Jungkook stood up from his throne holding his head high as he spoke.
“I didn’t take this kingdom for you.” He answered. “You can call me King Jeon, not Mr.Jeon.”
Mr.Choi’s eyes darkened with anger.
“You little punk! You betrayed me!” He shouted.
Yoongi growled low in his throat. How dare he disrespect Jungkook? Who did he think he was?
‘He’s annoying.’ He huffed.
Jungkook wasn’t phased by the man’s outburst. Yoongi loved that about Jungkook. He was a master of steeling his emotions in moments like these thanks to his years of being an assassin. Yoongi admired his confidence.
“I have no loyalty to you.” Jungkook said simply.
Mr.Choi stepped forward. Yoongi gave a louder growl, loud enough that it made the man stop in his tracks.
“Is there something I can do or offer?” Mr.Choi asked.
Yoongi was getting tired of this human already.
“Let me think about it.” Jungkook said before his eyes focused on something behind Mr.Choi. “Did you bring goats back with you?”
Mr.Choi waved and a guard that was part of Choi’s traveling party was leading three goats on some ropes.
“I had heard the rumors of your dragon. I wanted to offer them as a gift if the rumors were true.” He explained.
Jungkook glanced back at Yoongi before looking at the Mr.Choi once again.
“His favorite is sheep, but goats will do.” He said. “Since you were kind enough to bring a gift, why don't you offer him your gift?”
That made the man stiffen.
“You want me to…” he trailed off.
Jungkook nodded.
“I'd like you to take the goats to my dragon. You brought them as a gift. I'm just allowing you to give it to him.” He said with a smile.
Mr.Choi looked unsure. Yoongi was enjoying seeing Jungkook make this human squirm. Jungkook wasn't a cruel king to his citizens, but he didn’t hold back on his enemies. Mr.Choi has already proven he wasn't trustworthy since he tried to have his own brother killed. Jungkook sighed as if he was bored.
“If you give my dragon your gift I will reward you with an important job. If you refuse you will be banished for life.” Jungkook threatened.
That made Mr.Choi make a decision.
“Okay, okay. I'll give him the goats.” He finally agreed.
Yoongi had to admit he was surprised the coward didn't run with his tail between his legs. Jungkook had predicted if he offered him an important job the man would see it as another opportunity to worm his way to the throne. Yoongi's eyes narrowed. He would not get that opportunity. Mr.Choi took the rope from the guard and began to very slowly bring the goats forward. Yoongi kept his head low as he watched the human approach. He had to resist not baring his teeth, but he would follow Jungkook's orders. To the man's credit he got only six feet away from Yoongi.
“Great job, Mr.Choi.” Jungkook praised. “Now about your new job.”
Mr.Choi actually looked hopeful he pleased Jungkook enough to convince him to give him this special job.
‘Get him.’ Jungkook ordered.
As quick as a flash, Yoongi struck fast like a snake. He snapped up the goats along with Mr.Choi in one big mouthful. The traveling party group all gasped in shock. Yoongi gave a swift killing bite down before swallowing his entire meal in one go. Jungkook came over and patted Yoongi’s leg.
“See? I just knew dragon food was the perfect job for him.” Jungkook said with a small chuckle.
Yoongi cleaned the blood from his muzzle.
‘Such a show off. All one bite?’ Jungkook asked.
Yoongi chuffed.
‘And make a huge mess in your courtyard? That's too much trouble.’ He retorted.
Truthfully Yoongi just enjoyed scaring the other humans. The scarier he was, the less people would attempt to hurt Jungkook. Jungkook looked at the still gathered group of people.
“Welcome back home. As you can see there have been a lot of changes. Feel free to talk to the other staff to get used to things or if you wish to quit you can.” Jungkook said. “Otherwise this little meeting is over. Dismissed.”
There were no arguments to that. Yoongi shifted to his hybrid human dragon form. He was certainly less intimating in this form, but everyone knew he was still dangerous nonetheless.
“Your plan went perfectly, Kook.” Yoongi said with a smile.
Jungkook nudged Yoongi with his elbow.
“Thanks to you. Now there are no more Choi brothers to worry about.” He said.
Yoongi was glad of that too. Less humans like that the better.
“It's almost dinner time.” Yoongi reminded.
That made Jungkook smile. The smile Yoongi had come to adore.
“You just ate.” Jungkook said lightly poking Yoongi's stomach.
Yoongi chuckled and rolled his eyes.
“Not dinner for me. You haven't eaten yet.” He returned.
On cue Jungkook's stomach growled. Jungkook chuckled.
“Oh yeah, almost forgot.” He said.
Yoongi took Jungkook's hand.
“Let's get you something to eat.” He said before leading the way toward the dining hall.
Jungkook's POV
Jungkook had eaten his dinner fairly quickly before deciding to retire to his room early. It had been a long day.
Yoongi gave a big stretch as he took his shirt off, getting comfy for bed. Jungkook was glad Yoongi was facing the wall because he could admire Yoongi without being noticed. Since Yoongi has been getting fed properly and has been flying again he has become nice and fit in the right places. He was already handsome before, but the new muscle made him even better.
Jungkook had grown so fond of his beloved dragon. He knew what he felt for him. He tried to ignore it at first but he couldn't. He loved Yoongi. Which was kind of crazy since they really haven't known each other that long. Maybe it's their bond, but he wasn't sure. There was a problem though. Jungkook was still unsure of what kind of relationship they had. He still wanted to be an equal team. He didn't want to see Yoongi as a pet or just some sort of bodyguard. Yoongi was his friend. Not to mention having feelings might not even be appropriate in their bond. Did bonded humans and dragons only get as far as platonic? Or would Yoongi just tell him what he wanted to hear? Jungkook didn’t want to admit his feelings and Yoongi feels like he has to return them because of their roles. If Yoongi genuinely felt something too, that would be amazing but would it be real? Jungkook was so lost in thought he hadn't noticed Yoongi had turned around.
‘You are thinking too hard.’ Yoongi said through their mind link.
Jungkook blinked out of his train of thought and he met Yoongi's eyes.
“What do you mean?” Jungkook asked nervously.
Yoongi smiled gently before he climbed into the large bed. He pulled Jungkook into a warm embrace that made him melt. He hugged his arms around Yoongi and snuggled close. A soft purr rumbled in Yoongi's chest. Jungkook didn’t know dragons purred like cats. The first time was a few weeks ago. Jungkook heard it when they were outside. Yoongi was laid in the grass with his head in Jungkook's lap. He was playing with Yoongi's hair while he was reading when he just began to purr. Jungkook had been so surprised to hear it but he just smiled. It was so cute. It was so nice to know Yoongi was relaxed enough with him to purr. The purring didn't stop until Yoongi dozed off. Jungkook was pretty sure that was when he knew he had fallen in love with Yoongi.
“Talk to me. What are you thinking about so deeply?” Yoongi asked softly.
Jungkook peeked up at Yoongi. Yoongi very gently brushed back Jungkook's hair off his forehead which he always loved the feeling of. Why does Yoongi have to be so sweet right now when he is trying to think?
“If I told you to eat a chicken even if you hate chicken, would you tell me no?” Jungkook asked quietly.
Yoongi's nose scrunched a little at the idea. Jungkook knew Yoongi hated birds. He complained about the feathers the few times he offered them.
“I mean if I was starving I would eat it.” Yoongi said. “Otherwise I'd probably pass.”
That made Jungkook feel a little bit better. Yoongi wouldn't follow his every word blindly.
“Why? Is a chicken bothering you?” Yoongi asked.
Jungkook shook his head quickly.
“No. I just want to make sure I don't dictate everything, you know?” Jungkook replied.
Yoongi nodded as he seemed to get what Jungkook's problem was. He hugged Jungkook a little closer.
“I suppose we haven't talked about that fully.” Yoongi said.
Jungkook met Yoongi's amber colored eyes. The ones Jungkook could get lost in so easily.
“I like how we have been. I like being friends with you. I want you to be your own person. I respect you just as much as you respect me.” He said.
Frankly, Jungkook thought no dragon should be considered a pet. They were too powerful for that. Yoongi smiled a little.
“I like how we are too. I like that we take care of each other.” He said warmly.
Jungkook was so glad to hear that.
“I’m glad we are both happy with how things are between us.” Jungkook said with a smile.
Yoongi smiled back at him.
“Me too.”
Jungkook's mind went back to what brought all this on. Was romance even an option between them?
“Yoongi, can there be feelings between bonded riders and their dragons?” He asked quietly.
Yoongi rubbed Jungkook's back gently.
“What kind of feelings?” Yoongi questioned.
Jungkook’s cheeks tinted pink as he lowered his face, keeping his eyes on Yoongi's chest. What was up with him? He never used to get flustered with the people he liked before.
“When it comes to things like love… how does that work with the bond?” Jungkook asked.
He felt Yoongi's hand go still on his back. Oh no. Did he fuck up? Is he uncomfortable?
“Love between a dragon and their rider?” Yoongi asked before continuing. “It can happen. It's not super common but every relationship is a little different. It’s whatever works for the rider and dragon.”
Both were quiet for a solid minute before Jungkook was able to break the silence.
“So if a rider had feelings for his or her dragon. Would the dragon feel like they have to return the feelings because of their bond or would they be honest about their feelings whether they do or don't feel the same?” Jungkook asked, voice barely above a whisper.
Jungkook was sure Yoongi could hear his thundering heartbeat. This was humiliating. He almost backed out of the whole conversation but Jungkook felt Yoongi's hand finally move again. It came up to Jungkook's chin and gripped it gently. Yoongi made him meet his eyes. All Jungkook saw was amusement. Yoongi had his typical smug smirk.
“Jungkook, are you trying to tell me you gotta little crush on me?” Yoongi teased.
Jungkook's face flushed even more, but he couldn't hide this time.
“Is that a bad thing?” Jungkook asked nervously.
Was Yoongi going to laugh in his face? Yoongi might not even be attracted to humans at all, only preferring other dragons.
“No, it's not bad. To answer your question, some dragons may be honest and some might agree just to make their riders happy. That is different for every dragon.” Yoongi answered.
Jungkook's stomach felt queasy. Which kind was Yoongi then?
“Then how would I know that you would be honest if I told you I love you?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi smiled softer now.
“I will always be honest about everything with you, Jungkook.” He assured softly. “Here.”
Yoongi took Jungkook's hand and placed it on his chest.
“Feel my heartbeat? If I was lying my heartbeat would speed up. It's one way to tell if someone is telling the truth or not.” Yoongi said gently.
Jungkook focused on the rhythm of Yoongi's heartbeat. It sounded so strong and steady.
“So believe me when I say that I love you too, Jungkook.” Yoongi said warmly.
Jungkook's eyes didn't leave Yoongi's as he felt the heartbeat. It didn't change. Not one bit. Jungkook smiled a little. Yoongi really did love him.
“I-I know we haven't even really known each other that long, but I just can't help it.” Jungkook admitted.
He smiled even more when he felt Yoongi's lips brush his forehead as he placed a kiss there.
“I feel it too. I could sense our relationship was more intimate than most but I like it. I like you.” He said softly.
Jungkook couldn't be more happy. He didn't think twice before he leaned in and pressed his lips to Yoongi's. Yoongi made a surprised, but pleased groan before returning the kiss. Jungkook didn't think he had ever felt lips as soft and perfect for his own as Yoongi's did. Jungkook was happily lost in the kiss as their lips moved in sync. Yoongi's hand moved to cup Jungkook's cheek. He felt a little thrill when he felt Yoongi's claw brush his cheek. The reminder of what exactly he was making out with. How powerful and strong Yoongi truly was. It just made Jungkook want him more. His hand came up to tangle in Yoongi's hair. Jungkook’s fingers grazed the horns on his head which made Yoongi groan again. The sound sent a shiver through Jungkook's spine. He wanted more. He moaned into Yoongi's mouth when their tongues met. The taste of him was electrifying. Yoongi tasted like adventure and home all at the same time. The taste seemed to set Yoongi off because one minute they were on their sides facing each other. The next Yoongi rolled them over and pinned Jungkook to the mattress.
“We need to stop now if you don't want this to continue.” Yoongi warned, voice low.
Jungkook bit his lip. He hadn't seen anything as attractive as Yoongi’s eyes that glowed with scorching hot lust for him. He didn't know how this escalated so fast, but he was into it.
“I don't want to stop.” Jungkook said quickly. “I want it all.”
Yoongi didn't move yet, keeping his intense eyes on Jungkook's.
“Tell me what exactly you want.” Yoongi demanded.
Jungkook quickly realized what Yoongi wanted. He wanted him to beg. So he would.
“I want you~ I want you to show me your power and claim me as yours.” He begged.
Satisfaction gleamed in Yoongi's eyes.
“You’re mine.” Yoongi growled.
Jungkook didn't want to be anything else but Yoongi’s. He didn’t have time to respond before Yoongi leaned down and kissed his neck. Jungkook tilted his head, baring his neck to him fully. The feeling of Yoongi's lips on his skin made him groan in bliss. Yoongi moved further down to his shoulder. Jungkook gasped out a moan when he felt the sharp sting of Yoongi's teeth.
“Yoongi~” Jungkook whined.
Yoongi raised his head and admired his view.
“Dragons love marking what belongs to them.” He purred.
Jungkook’s face flushed even more as he gazed up at Yoongi above him.
“Do it again?” He begged.
Yoongi chuckled lowly.
“You like that? You like it when I bite into your perfectly soft skin?” He asked smugly.
Jungkook nodded eagerly.
“Y-yes. Mark me again.” He whined.
Jungkook shivered a little as Yoongi looked at him like he wanted to devour him right then and there. Jungkook would probably let him if he asked.
“With pleasure.” Yoongi said with a smirk that showed off his sharp canines.
Yoongi dove down again and placed a kiss a bit higher than the first one. He bit down again, making Jungkook arch up into him. Jungkook had no idea if he would even be able to hide the marks if he wanted to, but he didn't care. He was too clouded with lust to think about it. His need for Yoongi only grew with every touch, every kiss, and every nip. Yoongi finally released Jungkook’s wrists. He kissed his way up Jungkook's neck before lightly gripping his face and turning his face toward him. Jungkook moaned a little as their lips met again. With Jungkook's hands now free they were able to explore Yoongi’s back, memorizing his smooth skin and the pattern of scales decorating his body. Jungkook was getting uncomfortably hard in his pajama pants as the steamy kisses and those bites had him all worked up. Though, he wanted to pleasure Yoongi too so he raised his knee between Yoongi's legs. They both gasped apart from the kiss as Jungkook's knee brushed Yoongi's already hard cock trapped in his pants.
“Careful. I’m trying my hardest to hold myself back so I don't skip the foreplay and bury myself in you.” Yoongi warned lowly.
Jungkook was shocked though. He didn't think he’d ever felt someone built like Yoongi.
“You’re so big.” Jungkook couldn't help but marvel.
Jungkook couldn't resist as he lightly rubbed his knee against Yoongi, making him grunt and hiss.
“So sensitive.” Jungkook quickly realized. “Been a long time, huh?”
He had barely even moved his knee. Yoongi narrowed his eyes.
“You don't get much action when you're locked up.” He said with a huff.
Jungkook hated the reminder of how awful that king had been to Yoongi. Now Yoongi was free, healthy, always fed and happy like a dragon should be. Jungkook wanted to spoil Yoongi with everything. He now had yet another way to spoil Yoongi… with his body.
“How about we make a deal? You said when we are in battle and things like that, I'm in command right? So how about when we are here, you are in command. I do whatever you say. You can kiss me, touch me, bite me, fuck me, make me beg, make me choke on your cock, or whatever else until you've had enough. You have the reins when it comes to sex. That evens us out a bit, don't you think?” Jungkook proposed.
Jungkook was getting more turned on by the ideas of what Yoongi might do. He has had so many dreams and daydreams about being Yoongi's plaything in the bedroom. Jungkook gazed up at his dragon as he waited for an answer. Yoongi seemed surprised at first but he smirked.
“Sounds like these dirty thoughts have already been floating in that pretty head of yours. You'd really like all that? You want me to make you scream my name all night as I fuck you like you were made for it?” Yoongi asked.
A thrill ran through Jungkook at the words. Yoongi was jumping right into it. He loved it.
“Yes.” Jungkook said earnestly.
Yoongi chuckled darkly, the sound causing Jungkook to bite his lip. Yoongi leaned down to Jungkook's ear.
“Good. Because you were. You were made to be mine.” He practically growled in his ear.
Jungkook’s breath hitched and he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.
“Why don't I indulge you in one of your many fantasies and show me what your mouth can do?” Yoongi asked.
Jungkook’s mouth practically watered at the idea.
“Yes please~” He whined.
Yoongi smirked again.
“You're gonna whine for me, hmm? You're gonna whine for my cock?” He asked.
Jungkook squirmed under Yoongi a little. He needed some sort of touch again.
“Please. I want you. I want to feel you. I want to still feel you tomorrow.” Jungkook begged.
Jungkook was eager to feel the beast. He wanted to see how feral Yoongi could be.
“You will.” Yoongi assured. “Now I'm going to get up and you are going to take your pants off.”
Yoongi didn't even bother asking, he just told him. Jungkook bit his lip again. Yoongi was already even better than he imagined.
“Okay.” Jungkook agreed.
Yoongi raised up and was taking his own pants off as well. Jungkook quickly did as he was told and threw his pants and underwear onto the floor. He sat where he was as he waited. He licked his lips as he finally got a look at Yoongi's fully naked form. He was like a work of art. His light skin made the onyx scales stand out that much more. He had more patterns of scales on his thighs. Jungkook felt the urge to straddle Yoongi’s thigh and ride it until he saw stars. Jungkook felt so damn lucky to be able to see Yoongi like this.
“Enjoying the view?” Yoongi asked huskily.
Jungkook met Yoongi's eyes which were definitely enjoying the attention.
“Yes.” Jungkook breathed.
Yoongi went over to a large chair in the corner. He grabbed a little pillow off it and placed it in front of the chair before he sat down.
“Come here.” Yoongi said, motioning with his fingers.
Jungkook climbed off the bed and came up to Yoongi. All the while he felt Yoongi eating him up with his eyes. Jungkook had never felt so desirable in his life. Once he stood in front of Yoongi he paused and waited.
“On your knees. Earn your treat.” Yoongi ordered.
Jungkook couldn't even pretend to hide his excitement. He eagerly got on his knees on the pillow Yoongi had placed down. Likely so his knees didn't have to be on the hard floor. That's why he trusted Yoongi with this arrangement. He knew Yoongi would still take care of him. Jungkook wrapped one hand around Yoongi's hard length. He licked his lips before he leaned forward and testingly licked Yoongi's tip. Yoongi groaned at the little contact. Taking that as encouragement Jungkook began taking Yoongi's cock into his mouth.
“Fuck~” Yoongi cursed as Jungkook began to bob his head.
Jungkook's hand pumped what he couldn't fit in his mouth. A scratching noise made Jungkook peek up a little. Yoongi’s claws were digging into the fabric of the chair, leaving scratch marks behind. Jungkook couldn't help but glow with pride at how good he was making Yoongi feel. He put his full focus on Yoongi's cock again. He doubled his efforts, bobbing his head faster.
“That’s it~ such a good boy.” Yoongi praised as one of his hands tangled into Jungkook's hair.
Jungkook was able to work more of Yoongi's length into his mouth. He felt Yoongi's cock twitch when he finally met the back of his throat. Jungkook’s eyes watered but he kept going. Yoongi cursed above him as he heard more scratching on the chair. Jungkook didn't want to but he had to pull away to catch his breath. He panted a little, but made sure to keep pumping Yoongi's cock with his hand. He looked up at Yoongi with his head thrown back and breathing heavily. Jungkook could have cum right then and there just at the sight alone. Though, Yoongi raised his head and opened his eyes to meet Jungkook's.
“Open up pretty boy. Have your treat.” He demanded.
Jungkook didn't hesitate to take him back into his mouth just in time for Yoongi to cum on his tongue. Yoongi's hand suddenly held a vice-like grip on the back of Jungkook's head, preventing him from moving away.
“Take it all~” Yoongi growled.
Jungkook quickly found out dragons have a lot when they cum. Nonetheless, Jungkook happily caught it all. Once Yoongi was satisfied he released his grip for him to pull away. Jungkook met Yoongi's eyes. He wanted to show he caught it all, but if he opened his mouth Jungkook was afraid he'd make a mess and he was too greedy to let any escape. Yoongi's dark eyes didn't even blink, they just burned.
“Swallow, pretty boy.” Yoongi ordered.
Jungkook obediently did as Yoongi said and gave a big loud swallow. He licked his lips still tasting Yoongi on his tongue.
“Such a good boy. Come up.” Yoongi said with a smirk, patting his lap.
Jungkook climbed into his lap, his still hard cock was trapped between them as Yoongi caught his lips in a heated kiss. Jungkook wrapped his arms around Yoongi's shoulders. Without warning Yoongi stood, carrying Jungkook like he weighed nothing. It was so hot.
Jungkook barely even noticed them moving until Yoongi broke the kiss and placed him on his bed.
“Turn around and get on fours. I want to see your perfect ass.” Yoongi ordered.
Jungkook bit his lip before adjusting on the bed until he was on all fours. He peeked back at Yoongi over his shoulder.
“Like this?” He asked breathlessly.
Yoongi's gaze never left his current target as he came closer placing his hands on Jungkook's ass.
“Just like that.” Yoongi said as he climbed into bed behind him.
Jungkook released a breath he didn't realize he was holding when Yoongi's hands lightly squeezed his ass cheeks. He moaned at the feeling.
“Fuck.” Yoongi cursed. “Seems I'm not the only one who is sensitive.”
Jungkook's face burned a little.
“For you.” He said shamelessly.
The effect Yoongi's touch had on him was insane. Yoongi's eyes still didn't stray.
“And I’m going to keep it that way. I'm gonna have to ruin you for anyone else. Can't have anyone stealing my human from me.” He breathed.
Yoongi's possessive side was showing. He did suddenly recall the other day when one of the maid's was giving him fuck eyes then suddenly she paled and ran off. Jungkook looked back to find Yoongi looking away and standing casually against the wall. Though, he could have sworn he had heard growling just a moment before the maid ran off. Guess he did hear correctly. Jungkook hadn’t been interested in the woman and was simply ignoring her though. He only had eyes for Yoongi. Jungkook couldn't help but smile to himself. Maybe he could get away with poking the beast a little?
“So you'll growl at anyone who flirts with me?” Jungkook teased.
He peeked back at Yoongi again and froze. That was apparently enough to pull Yoongi's eyes back to his own. Yoongi's golden eyes bore into his own with such intensity.
“If anyone makes the mistake of trying to take what's mine I’ll turn into quick snacks.” Yoongi declared.
Jungkook couldn't help but shiver a little at just how serious Yoongi was being. Did he really just threaten to eat anyone that tried to even just flirt with him? He was both concerned and happy Yoongi liked him that much.
“You know I only want you, right?” Jungkook asked.
Yoongi softened just a little bit.
“I know. I trust you. It's other humans I don't.” He replied.
Jungkook was glad to know that. He couldn't help but poke some more though.
“What would you do if another dragon wanted me?” He asked.
Yoongi's hand lightly rubbed up and down the side of Jungkook's thigh.
“That wouldn't happen. Dragons are smarter than humans. They know not to pursue a dragon’s mate and can’t bond an already bonded human. Since you are both, that keeps you double off limits.” Yoongi answered.
Jungkook's heart skipped at that. Mate. Yoongi considers him his mate. The thought made him feel giddy and want Yoongi that much more. Jungkook bit his lip as he admired how sexy Yoongi looked behind him.
“Are gonna fuck me or what?” He asked.
Yoongi's raspy chuckle sent pleasure up Jungkook's spine.
“Yes. But first I need to stretch you out.” He replied.
Jungkook whined a little in impatience. He felt Yoongi's claws prick his ass cheek.
“No complaining. Now look forward.” He scorned.
Jungkook looked forward like he was told. Without warning Yoongi's forked tongue licked his rim, making him moan.
“Oh Yoongi~” He moaned.
He felt Yoongi chuckle against him before he did it again. And again. And again. Jungkook couldn't even try to keep his moans in. His fingers gripped the sheets tightly.
“F-fuck Yoongi.” He stammered.
Jungkook gasped a silent moan as he felt Yoongi's tongue dive inside. He squirmed a little, but Yoongi's grip kept Jungkook right where he wanted him. Each stroke of Yoongi's tongue was unraveling him. Jungkook whined as Yoongi raised his head, craving more.
“More.” Jungkook begged.
He didn't know if he could get enough.
“Raise up.” Yoongi said.
Jungkook knew better than to complain again so he raised up until his back was flush against Yoongi’s chest. Yoongi placed a kiss to the bite mark on Jungkook's shoulder.
“Are you ready?” Yoongi asked against his skin.
Jungkook's excitement built even more.
“So ready.” He assured.
Yoongi chuckled softly as his hands felt up and down Jungkook's sides.
“Good, because you're going to do what you were born to do.” He breathed.
Jungkook peeked back at Yoongi.
“I am?” he asked.
Yoongi's devilish smirk made Jungkook bite his lip.
“You're gonna ride me, pretty boy.” He breathed.
Jungkook's breath hitched. The irony hadn't left him. Jungkook truly was a dragon rider in all the ways he could be one.
“I can't do that in this position.” Jungkook said with a smirk of his own.
Yoongi placed one more kiss to Jungkook's shoulder before he stood.
“Let me get in the right one then.” He said.
Yoongi moved around Jungkook until he was seated to lean back against the headboard. He looked up at Jungkook and patted his lap.
“Take your seat, pretty boy.” Yoongi said.
Jungkook couldn't hold in the chuckle before he came forward and positioned himself over Yoongi. He gently wrapped around Yoongi’s hard cock in his hand before he lined them up. Yoongi's hands came to grasp his hips.
“Don’t rush.” Yoongi said gently.
Jungkook nodded before he slowly began to slide Yoongi inside. He grimaced a little, even with Yoongi's prep it was still a lot to take. Yoongi breathed heavily as Jungkook eased down.
“Damn you're so fucking big~” Jungkook whined.
Yoongi met his eyes.
“Perks of being with a dragon, huh?” He boasted.
Jungkook flushed and couldn't hide his smile. Yoongi was also right about ruining him for anyone else. Jungkook already knew he would never find anyone who filled him so perfectly as Yoongi did.
“Definitely.” He agreed as Jungkook settled all the way down, finally having Yoongi’s cock nestled so deep inside him.
Jungkook panted as sweat glistened on his forehead. Yoongi bit his lip as his hands gently rubbed up and down Jungkook's hips.
“I fucking knew you were perfect for me in every way.” Yoongi breathed.
Jungkook took a deep breath before he braced both hands on Yoongi's shoulders. He then began to move back up, only halfway before he slammed himself back down in one swift move. Both of them let out breathy moans.
“Jungkook~” Yoongi growled.
Yoongi growling his name just became Jungkook's favorite sound. He wanted more. So he did it again, this time a little higher before he sat back down abruptly before he started a steady rhythm. Jungkook gripped Yoongi's shoulders tighter as he began to bounce. He felt no more sting at all, just pure pleasure. Jungkook didn't know what heaven felt like, but he was pretty sure it felt just like this. Jungkook’s moans grew higher pitched the longer he bounced on Yoongi's cock. His thighs burned, but he didn't let that stop him. Jungkook could feel himself nearing his climax. Yoongi seemed to know it too.
“Not yet.” He growled.
Jungkook whined and his nails dug into Yoongi's shoulders.
“I thought I said no complaining.” Yoongi said.
Yoongi suddenly held a strong grip on Jungkook's shoulders, not letting him move even an inch. Jungkook whined again at the loss of pleasure. Jungkook opened his eyes and nearly came at Yoongi's hungry glare that could have eaten him alive.
“Please.” He begged.
Jungkook felt Yoongi's cock twitch inside him. He was close too.
“Look at you. So beautiful while you're whining and begging on my cock for more.” Yoongi purred.
Yoongi leaned forward and licked over the bonding mark. Jungkook shivered at the feeling. The scar was fully healed but it felt strangely sensitive to Yoongi's touch. Jungkook couldn't do anything to move, Yoongi was too strong.
“Relax, pretty boy. It’s my turn to take over.” He breathed.
Before Jungkook could blink, Yoongi had them flipped over. Jungkook had no time to process before Yoongi buried himself back inside with one swift thrust. Jungkook easily forgot about everything else as Yoongi pounded into him hard and fast, hitting his sweet spot with every hard thrust. His nails dug into Yoongi's back.
“Ah~ Yoongi.” He cried.
Yoongi had his face buried in Jungkook's neck. All he could hear were Yoongi's moans and curses. The king sized bed underneath them creaked with every thrust. Jungkook hooked his legs around his waist and Yoongi got just a little bit deeper. He was close again.
“Yoongi!” He moaned. ;
Yoongi growled deep in his chest.
“Let it go.” He groaned.
That was all Jungkook needed before he felt the full body trembles of his climax. He was seeing stars as he rode out his intense high. He moaned again as he felt Yoongi's hips stutter as he came deep inside him.
“Jungkook.” Yoongi gasped.
Both fought to catch their breaths. Jungkook didn't think he had ever had an orgasm as good as that before. It truly did put everyone else he had ever been with to shame. Yoongi raised his head and brushed Jungkook's hair back gently.
“Feel alright?” He checked in a soft voice.
Jungkook smiled a little.
“I feel amazing.” He sighed.
Yoongi smiled back at him. He kissed Jungkook's forehead.
“Good. Me too.” He replied.
Jungkook was a bit surprised to feel Yoongi was still hard inside him.
“You are still hard?” He asked.
Yoongi let out a breathy chuckle.
“It's another dragon thing. I probably should have warned you about this. When male dragons release inside we get… stuck for a bit.” Yoongi explained.
Jungkook's eyes widened. Stuck? Yoongi can't pull out?
“For how long?” He asked.
Yoongi nuzzled their noses together gently before kissing Jungkook's cheek.
“Like twenty minutes.” Yoongi said not phased at all that they were stuck together.
Actually, Yoongi seemed very pleased with it. Jungkook smiled at how cute Yoongi was being and was so confused at the same time. There was still so much to learn about dragons.
“Why?” Jungkook asked curiously.
Yoongi kissed the tip of Jungkook's nose, making him smile more. He was so affectionate all of a sudden. Jungkook wouldn’t have guessed Yoongi was so lovey-dovey after sex.
“Because if you were a female it would be pretty effective to make a baby. The longer a male dragon stays inside, the less escapes out.” Yoongi said.
Jungkook supposed that it made sense in a biological sense.
“I can't get pregnant though.” Jungkook said.
Yoongi chuckled again and kissed his forehead again.
“I know that, but my cock doesn't. Not that I mind.” He said with a grin.
Jungkook couldn't help but laugh. Has Yoongi ever wanted a baby of his own? Jungkook wouldn't be able to do that. Not like this anyway.
“Is that okay? That I can't make you a baby?” He asked.
Yoongi smiled warmly. Yoongi cupped his cheek, rubbing his thumb over Jungkook’s soft skin.
“Don't worry about that. I've never given much thought since I hadn't met anyone I wanted something serious with. I'm just happy to be here with you.” Yoongi said softly.
Jungkook's heart warmed. Yoongi was too sweet. He was so glad to know Yoongi was happy with him. He chuckled a little before speaking.
“You weren't actually serious earlier when you said you'd eat anyone who flirted with me?” Jungkook asked with a smile.
Yoongi smirked, showing off his sharp fangs glinting in the moonlight streaming from the window.
“I told you before. I don't lie to you.” Yoongi replied.
Jungkook rolled his eyes.
“That's a little dramatic don't you think?” He asked.
Yoongi huffed as if he said something utterly ridiculous.
“Fine. Give me a line. What's your line where I just scare them off to when I consider them as sheep?” Yoongi asked.
Jungkook wanted to laugh but Yoongi seemed completely serious. He thought for a minute.
“If they are just looking at me or complimenting me. I'll handle it. If they happen to touch me, you can growl to scare them off. If someone is continuously trying to flirt or whatever after I said no, then you can kill them.” Jungkook decided.
Yoongi's face hardened though.
“You want me to just growl if anyone tries to touch you? I’m your dragon. I protect you from danger. Somebody touching you sounds like danger to me.” Yoongi protested.
Jungkook could see Yoongi's point. He was a king now. It was safer to not let others touch him at all.
“Alright. We can compromise. I'll handle the flirting until someone happens to try to touch me.” He said.
Yoongi nodded in agreement finally.
“Deal. That doesn't mean I won’t glare if they flirt with you.” He said.
Jungkook chuckled.
“Alright, Yoongi.” He replied.
He reached up to kiss Yoongi's lips softly. That seemed to bring soft Yoongi back as his eyes warmed again. Jungkook wondered if all dragons were as stubborn as Yoongi was.
“Do you know where any of your brothers are?” He asked.
Yoongi had mentioned his brothers he hadn't seen since he got trapped.
“If they haven't moved from their dens then yes. If they have, I don't know.” He replied.
Jungkook hummed as he thought. He wanted Yoongi to be able to meet up with them again. It must be annoying being surrounded by humans all the time.
“Maybe we could take a trip and see if we can find them?” He suggested.
Yoongi was surprised but Jungkook didn't miss the hopeful glint in his eyes.
“You'd want to do that?” Yoongi asked.
Jungkook smiled again.
“I do. They are your family. I want us to try and connect with them.” He said.
Yoongi practically beamed at the idea. Jungkook really hoped his brothers hadn't moved from their caves like Yoongi mentioned before.
“That would be great.” Yoongi replied.
Jungkook reached up to kiss Yoongi's cheek.
“We can extend them invitations to visit this kingdom anytime too. If they would feel comfortable coming here.” He said.
Yoongi tilted his head as he thought.
“I don't know. I'd have to ask them. Oh man they'll be so shocked to see I have a rider and a mate.” Yoongi said with a chuckle.
Jungkook hoped he could meet Yoongi's family. He was curious what other dragons were like.
“Do they have black scales like you?” He asked curiously.
Yoongi shook his head.
“No. Hoseok has red scales and Namjoon has dark blue.” He said.
Jungkook tried to imagine Yoongi with blue and red scales. He found the black suited Yoongi the best though.
“I hope we can-” he was interrupted by a big yawn. “Find them.”
Yoongi smiled softer.
“Feeling sleepy? Here let's get in a more comfortable position.” He said.
Jungkook was going to protest and say he wasn't tired, but Yoongi was already moving them. It wasn't long until they were both on their sides facing each other. They had to stay close since they were still connected. Jungkook found that he didn’t mind it though.
“Better?” Yoongi asked.
Jungkook felt a wave of tiredness wash over him. After all his energy was spent, sleep was calling his name. He nuzzled into Yoongi's neck.
“Mhmm.” He mumbled.
Yoongi chuckled warmly.
“Get some rest. I've got you.” He whispered.
Jungkook hugged Yoongi tighter for a moment before he relaxed.
“I love you.” Jungkook murmured.
Yoongi kissed the top of his head.
“I love you too.” He whispered before settling with him.
Only after a minute or two the familiar sound of Yoongi purring made Jungkook smile sleepily. He could feel the vibrations with his face in Yoongi's neck. So cute. It wasn’t too much longer that Jungkook drifted off to a deep sleep.
The End <3
