DIAMOND| YOONMIN

XII. Fireflies

"In life, surround yourself with those who light your path."

Jimin didn't know what made the moment more magical, the fact that golden dust was falling from the rainbows, or the fact that the King of Fantasia just kissed his lips.

He felt his heart bursting inside his chest when Yoongi stared at him with those beautiful purple eyes, when he gently touched his cheek, when he caressed his hair and closed the gap between them.

The young boy only read about kisses or maybe sometimes saw one in a movie. In his books, he always considered a kissing scene between the main characters as something very important in the story. He would surprisingly get so happy and excited about it, like he was the one living it.

Now, it was different. It was better.

Having Yoongi's lips on his, kissing him gently and softly like he was the most fragile creature in the world.

The way he was cupping his cheek with his big hand just made him want to lean on it forever. The way his other hand was shyly squeezing his thigh made the things even better.

Jimin didn't know what to do, he has never kissed anyone before. He was afraid to mess it up so he just let the King control everything.

They parted after a few moments, Jimin felt his cheeks warm up and his heart beating insanely fast. He looked around him, the water seemed calm again, the mermaids have disappeared, they must have given up their seduction game when they saw their resistance.

He turned his head and found the King staring at him with a small smile on his face. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" he asked, staring at the landscapes surrounding them.

Jimin didn't turn around, he didn't know what was more beautiful; the mountains and flower fields around the lake or Yoongi with his black hair all covered with gold and whose pale face was shining under the sunlight.

"Y-yes, it's beautiful." he whispered shyly.

The small boat arrived at the edge of the field. The King came down and offered his hand to Jimin to help him get off. The young boy could not believe that he was the same man who had imprisoned him and deprived him of food two months ago.

Jimin let out a small cry when he felt his body float. He looked around him, fireflies were lifting them a few inches from the ground. "W-what is going on?!" his eyes grew wider as he felt himself flying above the field.

"Don't be afraid." Yoongi chuckled. "This is their way to welcome us in their territory."

Jimin gulped. Even though he knew they weren't going to hurt him, he couldn't help being scared to be lifted this way. His legs were shaking and his arms were moving everywhere to get his balance.

Then, he felt an arm gently grab his waist. He turned his head and saw the King close to him, "Do you feel less scared now?" he asked with his deep voice.

The diamond-haired pressed his lips and looked at the King whose eyes were fixed on his. "Yes." he whispered. "I feel better now." he blushed.

Yoongi smiled. "Good."

Jimin was more than nervous. He wasn't used to people touching him. They would always avoid him and think he's a disgusting monster. But since he came to Fantasia, his new friends changed his mind about himself and about the interactions between people.

Thanks to them now he receives hugs and small kisses on the forehead, but with Yoongi it was another level. He experiencing better things with him, like the beautiful kiss on the lips they shared earlier, and now his arm was around his tiny waist, making him feel secure and protected.

"Diamond, look around you." the King interrupted his thoughts.

Jimin did as told and gasped when he saw the amazing scenery that was surrounding them. The entire field was full of flowers he had never seen before, full of colors, full of beauty, full of life.

"Here we are."

They landed on the grass and Jimin was surprised to see the fireflies banding together to bow to their King.

He smiled, "Thank you little creatures." he whispered and widened his eyes when they started flying around him, making his hair shine brighter thanks to their lights.

"They like you." Yoongi laughed, watching him play with them.

After they left, the King layed on the grass, facing the azur sky. He watched Jimin getting all confused about what to do, he looked amazed by the flowers surrounding them. "Diamond."

"Yes?" Jimin stared at him with his innocent eyes.

Yoongi patted the empty space next to him, "Lay down next to me." he said, his eyes shifting to sapphire blue once again, making the young boy drown in the ocean of their beauty.

He shyly approached and layed next to him.

Yoongi stared at him, his hair was moving with the breeze and shining brighter under the sunlight. His cheeks were a little pink from blushing and his lips were pressed together because he was nervous. "Diamond." he whispered.

Jimin turned to look at him, he nearly gasped at how beautiful the King looked, his eyes were like two jewels, his black hair covering them a little. "Y-yes?"

"I don't know where you are coming from, but I really hope you like Fantasía." Yoongi said with the most gentle voice.

"I do!" Jimin didn't hesitate to answer. "I love it! It's beautiful."

The King nodded with a smile. "Also, I am sorry for being rude to you before."

"You don't have to be sorry about it. It's normal, I was a stranger and you couldn't trust me."

Yoongi ruffled his hair and sighed, "You are very kind Diamond."
