Jimin stretched his hands over his head, fresh air filling his nose, the soft aroma of pine in the air around him. The descending sun brought a lazy haze through the canopy of trees, the last rays of the sun touching the tips of his fingers as he reached up to the sky in another stretch.

"Should we stay a few more minutes? I think the kids will be fine on their own."

Jimin turned, eyes smiling as he gave his mate a small nod. The years he has spent by Jungkook's side passed in the blink of an eye. It feels as if just yesterday they were laying side by side in the crack of dawn. Their small secret meadow an escape to paradise when they had yet to reveal their blooming love. So many wonderful years, full of laughter and happiness, a few bumps in the road but never deterring them from falling out of love. Jungkook had done well when his father stepped down, having learned all he could in order to lead their pack with strength. His father never voiced any concern or doubt over his mate, and that made him incredibly proud. His omega was happy to have been right to decide that Jungkook was to be their perfect mate.

Their three pups were also proof of their love, all of them raised in a warm loving home. It was everything Jimin had hoped for, and he could never thank the moon goddess enough to have given him such a blessing. And yet, there was still a small selfish drop in his heart, his omega still disappointed he didn't have more pups. But the buzzing life of a pack had gotten in the way, there was always too much to do. Jungkook had gotten too busy some days with managing their pack, and as Luna, he often found himself just as busy. Always caring and nurturing his pups some days, while other days he was busy tasking away for every phase of the moon. Before long, so much time had passed and his plans on having at least one more pup, had disappeared without him noticing. On some days, he has the desire to ask Jungkook if they should give it one last try. To test the waves luck and hope that they still had time. But he knew it would be a selfish thing to ask, especially with how busy their lives still seemed to be.

Jungkook pulled him close, scenting him softly, leaving kisses along his skin. Fleeting and featherlike, as if trying to lull him to sleep once more. But they couldn't stay in their meadow forever, the sky was already turning dark. The stars begin to glisten, some brighter than others. He closed his eyes briefly, basking in the comforting scent of his mate before rolling away with a yawn.

"We should head back, I don't have much faith in anything the kids decide to make for dinner. If we're lucky, we might just find the kitchen still intact."

Jungkook snorted, getting on his feet with a drowsy look. Jimin couldn't help the smile that bloomed on his face, endearment radiating through his scent as he pulled Jungkook in for a hug. Their arms wrapped around each other tightly, enjoying their last moments alone before having to return to their spontaneous kids. Jimin took in a deep breath, he could never get enough of his mates scent. As they pulled away, Jungkook smiled softly, hand reaching up to cup his cheek to stroke his chin before pulling him up to plant a small peck on his lips. Jimin couldn't help but get lost in the kiss, lips parting to deepen the kiss.

"I love you." Jungkook mumbled in between the kiss, not wanting to pull away from him.

Jimin had to stop them if they wanted to make it back home in time for dinner, he nipped his mate's lips teasingly before pulling away. Eyes glistening like the stars above as he quirks his head to the side with a loving smile.

"I love you too."
