What’s a Kiss? | Hoseok

Summary line: Childhood!Hoseok explores the meaning of a kiss with you

You were five years-old swinging arms with five year-old Hoseok. Hoseok’s parents had given five bucks to each of you to take out Hoseok’s dog, Mickey, to the backyard to let it go to the bathroom. You two have been standing around, just watching Mickey run around, chasing birds.

“Hey, Y/N?” Hoseok spoke up. You realized that Hoseok can’t go 3 minutes without coming up with something.

“Yes, Hoseok?”

“Do you know what a kiss is?” you tilted your head with a little pout as you thought about it.

“I think Peter Pan talked about one before. Why?”

“I heard it from Peter Pan too. Apparently it’s something someone gives to someone close to them. I was thinking, since you are my closest friend, I wanted to give one to you. But I don’t know where to get them.”

“You’re my closest friend too. I should give you one too. Let’s ask our mommy and daddy. I bet they know.”

“Okay. You ask your mommy and daddy, and I’ll ask mine. And when we get it, we’ll give it together, okay?”

“Okay.”

“Do you promise, Y/N?” Hoseok stopped and turned to you, sticking out his pinkie.

“I promise.” you curled your pinkie around his.

“Y/N!” you looked up from your hands in your lap to see Hoseok running over to you with a bright and dimpled smile.

“Why is your face red?” you sucked in your lips and put your head down even lower.

“I can give you a kiss now!” Hoseok yelled excitedly.

“I-I can too…” you stuttered.

“Y/N…” Hoseok bent down to look at you with a pout, “Do you not want to give me a kiss?”

You frowned at your friend’s pout, “No, I do.”

“Good. Here’s mine to you.” Hoseok leaned in and grabbed your hand.

He dropped a thimble in your hand. You just stared at it.

“Do you like it? My mommy dug her sewing box to find the best kiss for you!”

“I-I love it, your mommy worked hard. Thank you Hoseok.” It would seem that Hoseok’s parents told him about a different kiss than what yours told you.

“So where’s mine?”

“Uh…um…I left it at home.” Hoseok looked up behind you. You were sitting on the front steps of your home.

“So go get it.” you looked up and slowly nodded, holding the thimble tightly in your hand. You had Hoseok stay out while you went inside.

“Mommy! Where’s your sewing box?”

You sprinted down the sidewalk. It’s been years since you two exchanged thimbles, Hoseok went off to not just be your sunshine, but the whole world’s sunshine. He’s finally been able to spare a day to visit his childhood friend.

“Y/N!” Hoseok screamed with delight as he took his friend in with open arms. You smiled widely. It’s been years since you’ve seen him in person, hear him talk directly to you

“I missed you so much, Hoseok.” you sighed into his arms.

“I know you did.” Hoseok winked. You scrunched your face and wanted to push him away, but he held tighter to you, “I missed you too. I’ve wanted to see you for a long time now, but – “

“Yeah, I know, you’re a busy now, Mr. Sunshine Hobi.” you teased him and poked his nose. He rubbed his nose and laughed weakly, trying to get back to the point, “I missed you, Y/N. A lot.”

“Well, seven years is a long time.”

“It is. And, well, I think it’s time I told you something.”

“Hmm? What’s that?” you asked, starting to walk down the street with him to the local boba shop, but he reached out for your arm, stopping you.

“I realized that I’ve only ever given you a thimble.”

“H-Hoseok.”

“Even though I know what a kiss is now, and it’s NOT a thimble, I…I still want to give you one.” you gulped as Hoseok stepped closer to you, “And I bet with my life that this one will be better than anything I could have given you when I was five.” He brought his hand up to your cheek and pulled you in as he leaned in too. Your lips were slightly parted as they touched. It was light and sweet.

Hoseok intended for this to be quick, but the moment your lips met, he knew he didn’t want it to be short. He wrapped his arm around your waist, extending the kiss longer and pressing firmly against you, even bringing his tongue to meet yours in your mouth.

They finally drew apart, breaths quick and uneven.

“I gotta tell you, I actually knew what a kiss was when you gave me the thimble.” you confessed.

“What?! Then why didn’t you give me one? You didn’t want to?”

“I did, but you gave me a thimble! I couldn’t give you a kiss after that!” Hoseok’s hand on your cheek moved further to the back of your head, pulling your head forward to touch his forehead. (bless anyone’s chance to touch his forehead!)

"Then I think it’s only fair that you owe me two.”
