It was the third week Jimin had slept in the same bed with Yoongi when the older decided it was time to confess his feelings. It was terrible timing, really, all of them outside on missions designed for each of them and he just happened to get teamed up with the first person he met in all this chaos.
They figured it was time to actually prepare to fight those people that tortured and killed those other humans in the facility. It was hard with only seven people, though, so they thought it might be a good idea to look for other teams and survivors, such as the ones Jeongguk had been traveling with before. They were in teams of two and one with three while they were outside. It was hard to separate for so long but they had devices to stay in contact with each other and by now each of them knew how to defend themselves.
It had been especially hard to part from their youngest, Jeongguk, who had been making a lot of progress over the weeks with Taehyung, who was sort of like a therapist to him by now. Yoongi could see the affection the older boy held for the other and was slightly calmer when he found out that those two were in a team together, Hoseok joining them since they were the youngest. Seokjin and Namjoon walked together as well, obviously, both of them inseparable. Seokjin had been improving his health steadily and surprisingly quickly. He still had some trouble walking but that was fixed since both of them had the medical knowledge to know how to deal with it. Namjoon had checked on Yoongi's prothesis one more time before saying their goodbyes for the time being.
Jimin and him were alone gain now and it felt kind of weird after being surrounded by so many people all the time. That didn't mean he didn't enjoy the time with him, quite the opposite, actually. His feelings had grown into a full-on crush, even thinking about maybe spending the rest of his life with the black-haired boy and, fuck it, he really did love him, didn't he?
Problem was, he didn't know if the smaller of them knew it or even felt the same, so he kept quiet for just a little while longer.
He remembered the talk he had with Hoseok before they parted.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"
"We are just friends."
"The boy almost snapped his neck trying to find out who or what you were laughing at, the boy is whipped. Seriously, how can you not see it?"
"I just don't feel like he'd be into me like that."
"Sure, go and tell yourself that."

Things changed, however, after they were attacked right outside of Seoul. The breeze was oddly calm and for some reason the soldier was getting reckless, not looking at every corner and that's when it happened. Five or four, he didn't quite see, zombies launching at them immediately, forcing him to snap out of his trance, pulling out weapons and protecting Jimin as best he could, after all, he couldn't bear to see the other die. They then hid in a small house surrounded by trees when they finally caught their breaths, both looking at each other and it just happened like that, lips touching suddenly and Yoongi felt his eyes sting with tears of relief because, wow, that was close.
He didn't quite realize they were kissing until he felt short of breath for a different reason and slightly parted from the younger who was looking at Yoongi like he was his entire world. It was weird how with everything happening around you, you couldn't see how close you got to that one person until they were in your arms.
"I think now is the time I should tell you that I love you, hyung." Jimin laughed, his voice a bit quiet and his cheeks flushed. Yoongi's were probably not looking any better, damn it. He wanted to be cool about this.
"Yeah, good idea." He answered, hands sweaty. The look Jimin gave him was deadly and he laughed, kissing the other quickly.
"I love you too, idiot. You make me feel so fucking alive, it's dumb."
He didn't know why he was saying these things but they almost died, for fuck's sake and it could happen all over again in just a second and hell, he didn't want to lose Jimin again.
"Why do you like me, though? I'm awkward as fuck." he asked, curious as to why someone as bright and cheerful would go for someone as grumpy and dangerous as Yoongi.
"Yeah, that's kinda what drew me in. Your anxiety ridden charm." Jimin said back, his voice serious and Yoongi laughed loudly, surprised at the sarcasm that was coming out of the other's mouth.
"God, this is weird." He chuckled, feeling oddly shy around the other man now. "So, I guess we are dating if people still call it that?" Jimin asked, voice unsure but still amused.
"Yep. I'm not going anywhere. Well, I am but with you." His rambling was embarrassing but his boyfriend (holy shit, boyfriend!) didn't seem to mind.
They kept walking around kind of aimlessly after that, always sticking together because they knew what would happen if they didn't and it worked for a while.
Next thing they knew, they found another one of the facilities, the big building quite similar to the once they've come across before and a cold shudder rocked Yoongi's body when he saw it, Jimin clenching his arm tightly with his small hands. It was haunting, really. The big open space around the building seemed like a damn graveyard and he didn't look forward to the mission but it had to be done. Now that everyone was supporting him, he was certain they would succeed.
He contacted the others over the phone and thank god, everyone answered. They checked up on each other from time to time but sometimes there just was no signal and it led to the fact that Yoongi and Jimin worried about their friends for hours before they heard another word from them. They didn't announce their progress in their relationship just yet, keeping it as a secret for now.
"We found another building, guys." Yoongi spoke, his voice rough from inhaling the dust the whole day.
