Notes:

Warning, as usual with my stories updates will be slow but I have some chapters planned so I'll try my best to not leave it for too long.
Hope you enjoy

Chapter 1

Amongst the android society of Palo Santo, humans have become a rare commodity.
One android model is tasked with retrieving humans from the wild ruins, where they live.
They are then taken into the city, for the purposes of entertainment-Years And Years: Sanctify.

//

The suns rays glanced off of the golden tanned skin of the lone dancer, the rainforest air as hot as his sweat sheened skin.
He was far enough away from the ruins he called home to be safe but close enough to the city still be on edge.
The human danced until the music of his ragged breaths mingled with his beating heart to create a flourish of movements around the small glade.

"Hoseok?"

A soft voice cut through the dancers haze as he stumbled to a halt.

"Jimin, I thought you were looking after Jungkook?"

The dancer, Hoseok, asked in confusion.
Jimin sidestepped to reveal the younger boy hiding behind him.

"He wanted to come and dance."

The boy looked up from underneath his long purple hair as a hopeful smile appeared on his face.

"No one wants to dance Jimin."

What Hoseok left out was that no one with any sense ever wanted to dance, if you could dance well enough to keep you alive then stop there. Those who were talented were always moved to the capital; the head of entertainment surrounded by towering concrete.

"Then why do you practice so much?"

Jimin questioned with a raised voice.
Hoseok didn't have an answer to that; how could he put into words the freedom of getting lost in the movement of your body to the beating of your heart.

"Because if They find me I want to be ready."

Was the reply he gave to the two younger boys, watching sadly as they frowned in unison.

"I want to be ready!"

Jungkook finally spoke up trying to glare a hole into Hoseok but ending up looking too cute.

"Fine."

The smiles the two boys gave him almost melted away the seed of guilt planted in Hoseok's heart.

//

*4 years later*

"Hobi hurry up!"

Hoseok smiled as Jimin bounded through the forest into the glade whilst Jungkook walked beside him with a smile on his face.

"Jimin it's still early morning we have hours left!"

He shouted back as Jimin began stretching, the sun lit up his hair to form a crown of silver.
Jungkook laughed beside Hoseok before closing his eyes to bask in the sun as it shone down into the small glade.

"Lets dance!"

Jungkook smirked before springing into action, dancing in the middle of the green grove.
Hoseok glanced at Jimin who was beginning his dance in a crouch before leaping forward, dancing in time to his heartbeat.
The sounds of the forest disappeared as Hoseok's body drowned them out with his flowing movements.
The sun sent sparkling rays down through the canopy of leaves onto the three dancing boys, their bodies moving through the glade like leaves on the wind.

The glade became more of a home to the boys than the crumbled ruins of their small colony, allowing them the illusion of freedom as they danced.
Some people ended up leaving the colony all together, most of them ended up in the Capital, the rest of them ended up dead.
Jungkook once suggested running away whilst the two boys shook their heads sadly; there was nowhere to run to, nowhere that was safe.

"Hose..."

Jungkook's cry snapped Hoseok back to reality just as a cold arm grabbed his shoulder.
Twisting his head, Hoseok came face to face with the blank eyes of an android.
His heart stuttered in its previous rhythmic beating as fear coursed through Hoseok.

"Is. This. Your. Language."

The frigid voice grated out as it's hold grew tighter on his arm.
A thud sounded from across the glade as Jimin fell to the ground, a silver collar around his neck.

Jungkook tried to pull against the android holding him before a black collar fastened around his neck and he joined Jimin on the dark forest floor.
He looked up from under his purple hair to see two pairs of eyes watching from the undergrowth as the leaves rustled from their movement.
As the eyes started to move away Jungkook tried to yell for help but his voice jammed in his throat and the android holding him covered his mouth with its cold hand.

"Jimin! Jungkook! Let me go!"

The more Hoseok struggled against the iron grip the tighter it became until a click sounded and all the air rushed out of his body.
His mouth opened ready to scream again but no sound came out.
Just as Hoseok realised there was a gold collar around his neck, his legs gave way and the world fell into darkness.

Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Summary:

An introduction to the city Androids
(Note: I know Yoonji isn't really an OC but I just tagged her like that because she's not really a real person)

Yoongi wasn't meant to feel like this, he wasn't meant to feel in the first place, but the dull eyes of the 'rescued' humans stirred up emotions inside of his cold metal shell.
Androids aren't meant to feel, any emotional response was programmed into lines and lines of code, they're not meant to feel real pity towards the humans or feel any guilt for 'rescuing' them.
All androids lived within the city run by the Ruler living at the heart of it whilst all humans lived either with their android owner or in the forest surrounding the city.
More humans are 'saved' each time the city expands into the forest, the only nature left being destroyed log by log.

"Yoongi!"

Yoongi turned around to see the Kim siblings standing solemnly in front of him.
In reality they weren't real siblings with Taehyung being a year older so having different coding to Yoonji yet seeing them together, even as blank androids, they seemed like true siblings.

"Taehyung, Yoonji. Greetings."

He said bowing slighting as they frowned in unison.
Taehyung's ash grey hair glistened silver in contrast to Yoonji's dark black.

"What have we told you Yoongi!"

"When it's just us please don't be so formal, it makes you seem like one of Them."

The siblings complained as Yoongi sighed a quiet apology.
It was a miracle that they hadn't been caught and deactivated yet, considering what had happened 4 years ago, Yoongi wondered whilst he watched the two androids chatting in an almost human like way.
He smiled to himself, relaxing at the comfort that he wasn't alone.

"Apparently three new humans have been kidnapped."

Yoonji sighed, moving beside Yoongi to stare out of the tall glass window towards the towering buildings of the Capital.
The Rulers house sat straight in the middle of the concrete walls, visible from anywhere, whilst the city curled around it in a circle of concrete and a maze of streets.

"Taken straight to the capital to be tested."

Taehyung frowned, stepping forward to stand on Yoongi's other side.
Being tested meant having their every move scrutinised whilst being forced to perform wearing collars specially made for each human.
Yoongi frowned, wondering how this was any better than leaving them in the depths of the dense forest past the outskirts of the city.

"For their own sake let's hope they're not any good."

He stared out into the sea of concrete where the three humans were having their freedom and life stripped away from them and shoved back into their faces under the name of 'rescuing'.
Yoongi wondered which was worse; always hiding your true self for fear of death or being a slave until you're no longer useful.
For once in his life; he was glad he was an android.

Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Summary:

We've met the three dancers and the three androids, now it's time to meet the outcasts.

"Jin! Jin, wake up!"

The boy glanced around nervously as he shook the sleeping blonde awake.

"Ugh, what?"

Jin sat up, tiredly staring back at the purple haired boy leaning over him.

"It's time to move."

He apologised, grabbing Jin's hand and leading him through the trees.
As Jin began to wake up more he realised that the undergrowth had been getting denser as an outstretched branch almost caught his arm.

"Umm, Joon are you sure this is the right way?"

He frowned whilst the younger twisted the map in his hands before cursing under his breath.

"Well I was until you asked."

Namjoon smiled sheepishly before turning back to the map in his hands.

"Wherever we are it's a mysTree to me."

Jin began laughing before he had finished the pun whilst Namjoon stopped walking just to shake his head and sigh.

"Well that was a Treemendous pun Jin."

Namjoon deadpanned as Jin only laughed more.
Once the laughter had calmed down the two boys carried on walking into the dark green trees.
Just as Jin thought they were back on track the sunlight suddenly stopped warming their skin as the cold shade settled around them.

"Really Joon I think we ar..."

Namjoon placed his finger to his lips indicating to Jin to be quiet just as the trees thinned to reveal a small clearing bathed in sunlight.

"Oh my gosh."

Jin stood frozen as his gaze met the pleading eyes of a small purple haired boy as an android shoved him to the ground.
The boy tried to shout for their help but the black collar around his neck activated and he collapsed on the ground.

"Jin, we need to leave now!"

Namjoon whispered, voice shaking in fear as he dragged Jin backwards snapping him out of his shock just as the Red haired boy was knocked unconscious by a golden collar.

"Bu..."

He knew there was no point in protesting as trying to help would only result in them getting caught and Jin knew Namjoon would never risk it for fear of his dismantlement and Jin's capture.

"I know, but we can't help them, we'll be caught as well."

Namjoon sighed, knowing Jin's thoughts; always needing to save others first and worry about himself later.
The two boys moved back into the dense forest and the sound of bodies being dragged along the floor faded.

"But Namjoon..."

Jin trailed off knowing Namjoon would realise it was serious if he was using his full name.
Namjoon turned around to face the blonde haired boy with a puzzled look.

"Jin? They're just some random humans we can't help them."

Jin turned to face Namjoon with a sad look in his eyes.

"I knew them, they belong to my old colony."

Thank you for reading :)

The world was a blur of pulsing lights and flashing sounds as Hoseok felt his body being dragged through a maze of concrete.

"Hoseok?"

The sound of footsteps echoed off of the towering walls as the familiar green of the forest disappeared.

"Hoseok."

A constant drumming pierced the air and drilled into Hoseok's head causing him to groan in pain.

"Hoseok!"

A now conscious Hoseok shot up straight to the sound of Jimin's voice just as an android stepped off of the last stair leading into the cold dark room he was currently laying in.
Fear and adrenaline worked together to chase away his sluggishness as Hoseok glared up at the tall figure.

"Is. He. Awake?"

The android asked as Jungkook nodded before offering his hand to Hoseok, signalling that he should stand up.
He ignored it and glared up at the android who had kidnapped them.

"Yeah I'm awake, what do you want?"

Hoseok tried to sound intimidating but the fear coursing through his body could be heard easily in the shaking of his voice.
The dark wasn't helping him as the small room seemed to be closing in with each forced word the android spoke.

"Get. Up. Time. To. Dance."

The android said coldly as he turned to walk back up the steps.

"No."

Hoseok finally stood up as the android let out a grating laugh.

"You. Don't. Get. A. Choice."

The world seemed to freeze as Hoseok and the android stood glaring at each other.
Then the android raised his arm slowly showing a golden switch attached to a square shaped panel next to two smaller black and silver ones before he flicked the golden switch on with a sadistic grin.
Hoseok didn't have time to blink before his legs gave out and he was back on the cold ground, his hands clawing at the gold collar around his neck.
Electricity rushed through his body chasing away all thoughts apart from one, pain.
His entire body was on fire whilst he gasped for breath as black spots danced across his vision.

"Stop! You're hurting him!"

Jungkook's cry sounded muffled as Hoseok curled up into a ball, trying to stop the pain.
The android just laughed again and finally switched the collar off.

"That. Was. The. Point. Now. You. Learn. To. Behave."

Hoseok gasped for air, finally regaining control over his body, his hands found Jimin's smaller ones just to be dragged up and out of the dark room.
They had no choice but to follow.
The android led the way as the three boys emerged from the doorway, all clinging to each other.
They didn't know where they were, where they were going or what would happen to them now they were stuck wearing the android's deadly collars.
Hoseok never liked his home but compared to the city his small colony seemed like heaven.
Street corners and dark alleyways streaked past the boys as they were led like cattle towards the centre of the city.
On the outskirts they saw no other humans but the further they moved into the concrete heart of the city, the more humans started appearing in doorways and besides market stalls.
All wearing thick collars, a mark of their slavery.
Hoseok subconsciously tugged at the gold collar around his neck, feeling like it was suffocating him with each human they saw.

"If we...if we get separated..."

Jimin started but trailed off as the other two boys stared at him.
The sun started to set in the sky casting a melancholic shadow across the city.

"We won't get separated."

Hoseok tried to reassure him, yet deep down he knew there was no way for them to all be kept together.
Even the wind whipping between the buildings seemed to be trying to pull them apart.

"But if we are..."

Jimin tried to finish his sentence from before but Hoseok cut him off.

"We. Won't. Be."

Trying to stay positive was the only thing he could do in such a hopeless situation like this, either be sold off as slaves or spend the rest of their lives dancing as entertainment.
Hoseok realised they never really had any control over their lives, all choice was stolen away from them by the androids and their emotionless city.
The tall concrete walls finally disappeared as the boys got their first glimpse of the Ruler's house.
A mansion surrounded by a garden full of fake grass and a lawn encased by plastic bushes and covered in concrete fountains with sculptures of all his favourite human captives.
Hoseok wanted to laugh at the androids feeble attempt to recreate something as beautiful as nature within their cold city walls.

"Go. Inside."

The android pointed towards the massive golden doors being held open by two humans.
Hoseok led the way as Jimin and Jungkook followed apprehensively behind him.
As they walked inside Hoseok tried to get the humans attention whilst they ignored him and looked away with something almost like guilt shining in their eyes.
The walls were laced with gold decorations and seemed to go on forever as more humans started to appear from each of the dark corridors.
Hoseok didn't even realise he had carried on moving forward until he heard a distant cry behind him.

"Hoseok! Jimin! Help!"

Jungkook shouted, desperate to stay together but the sea of human slaves began to drag him away.

"Kookie! Hobi what do we do?"

Jimin cried whilst Hoseok stood frozen as more slaves flooded out and latched onto Jimin.

"Dance well. I'll see you again I promise!"

Hoseok shouted, as the human slaves dragged him away from Jimin and Jungkook, through the growing crowd of androids.
He tried to turn back around but the grip on his arm was too strong.
Hoseok took the last glimpse of the boys he considered family and finally cried.
He felt as if his entire world had turned dark as he let his body go limp and be dragged away.

"Name."

Hoseok was snapped out of his sadness as he realised he had been taken into a completely different room.

"Jung Hoseok."

He replied nervously, as the strange hall began to fill up with more androids and people alike.
It was a large ballroom with a high ceiling covered in gold and silver swirls.

"Skill."

The woman's voice was like ice and her dead eyes looked up drearily at him.
This is what his future looks like, dead eyes and a broken spirit.

"Dance, some singing and rapping."

Hoseok answered shyly before the soft murmur of voices was pierced by the sound of a chair being dragged across the room into the centre of the floor.
The crowd started to form a circle leaving the chair in the middle and a table with three chairs at one end.

"Time to perform."

The woman said without giving him a second glance before shoving him into the crowd as they parted to make a path to the stage.
He stared at the table where three androids now sat, following his every move with their blank eyes.
Strange music started playing but as much as he tried Hoseok couldn't dance to the beat as anxiety flooded his body and made his movements stiff and uncoordinated.
He froze and fell to his knees as the judges glared into him with their disappointed gazes.

"I...uh...let me try another song."

One of them nodded reluctantly as a new song began to play and Hoseok felt himself finally relax and get lost in the music.
Feeling the beat run through him, he took a deep breath, stood up and started walking forward to be in front of the judges.

"It's getting dark, the light of my future. Because of a childish love, I lost my way of dream."

The lyrics came to Hoseok as he became more and more lost in the music.
Flowing moves tinted with jabs of anger and frustration came together as Hoseok moved around the hall as if he owned it whilst singing a haunting story.
The story of a good man corrupted by greed.
The greed to do what he loved, the greed to be free, the greed to live in a world which had no freedom.

"Breathe!"

As the beat changed he sunk to the ground as the desperation of the situation finally hit him, it was dance or die.
Hoseok let his emotions add to the dance, giving a new wave of fear and longing to the fluid movements.

"My future was abandoned to the love of you. When I woke up, traps are everywhere."

His love for dancing was why he was caught, why he put Jimin and Jungkook in danger.
The thing Hoseok loves the most is his downfall.
Now nowhere is safe.
His voice and dance fused together in a moment of anguish and pleading before Hoseok cartwheeled through the air as the song changed tempo once again.

"Too bad, but it's too sweet, it's too sweet, it's too sweet."

Hoseok's movements no longer looked stiff, they flowed as his presence seemed to fill the space without him even moving.
Repeating the same lyrics again and again, he seemed to melt into the song as desperation turned into bitter anger.

"It's too evil. Yeah it's evil."

He collapsed back on the ground as the beat faded and the dance was finally over.
One of the judges looked at him and smiled sickly as Hoseok was once again dragged away.
Gold and silver flashed past him as everything seemed to be moving too fast.

"Please just tell me where you're taking me!"

Hoseok pleaded whilst the previously golden corridors faded as he was led into yet another dark room.
It was larger than the previous room but the air was much thicker and heavier like it was trying to squash Hoseok.

"Your auction is tomorrow, Dancer."

One of the humans snarled making Hoseok recoil in shock that the first emotion he'd seen from them was malice.
He had little time to think about it before the door slammed shut and he was engulfed in a hug.

"You made it!"

Jungkook smiled happily as Hoseok's fear from earlier melted away as he smiled back.

"I told you we would stay together!"

He laughed in relief with Jungkook, leaving Jimin standing to the side without a smile.

"It's an auction, there is no way anyone will buy us three together."

Jimin sighed quietly as Hoseok was hit with the realisation that this would be their last night together.
Still in denial, Hoseok gathered the younger two into another hug as the darkness of the room seemed to swallow them.

"We can hope, we can only hope."

Chapter 5: Let Go (Chapter 5)

Summary:

Yoonji and Taehyung try to convince Yoongi that some humans are worth saving.

Notes:

Hey guys, I hope you're enjoying the story so far.
Sorry it's kinda slow moving now but trust me when I say enjoy this angst free time whilst you can.

I've finally planned out everything and there will be 37 chapters.

FYI Years And Years-Palo Santo just came out and just a warning my fic won't follow that story and will have a very different ending, sorry about that.

"You mentioned new humans?"

Yoongi turned to Yoonji as she moved to turn on the TV.
The sound of music began to fill the room as the human on the screen began to dance along to the beat.
Yoongi tried to ignore the look of excitement on Yoonji's face at the mention of humans.

"They arrived yesterday and are going on sale this afternoon."

She smiled sadly just as Taehyung walked back into the house.
He had his ash grey hair held back from his face by a simple red and white bandana.
A frown replaced his usual smile as he glanced at Yoongi warily before turning to face Yoonji instead.

"The auction is being held at the Ruler's mansion, I know what you're thinking Yoonji but we'd be lucky to even get inside let alone buy one."

He frowned even more as Yoonji ignored him and turned back to the screen to watch the silver haired human dance around the room.

"Even if we could get in and buy one, we won't."

Yoongi scowled as Taehyung moved to join Yoonji, gazing in awe at the screen as a small purple haired human appeared, replacing the shorter silver haired one.
Yoongi looked away from the two younger androids, trying to avoid the argument which was bound to happen.

"Yoongi! Why..."

Yoonji tried to question before Yoongi's shouting cut her off.

"You know why! Stop acting like four years ago never happened!"

He ran a hand through his blue hair in an attempt to stop the onslaught of emotions but what had happened wasn't something he could forget.
After what happened he swore never to get involved with humans ever again.
All they do is lie.

"It wasn't your fault, he knew what he was getting into."

Taehyung sat next to Yoongi and wrapped his arm around his shoulders.
What had happened left each of them missing a piece of themselves, Yoongi the most.

"He got caught Tae, he was... he was dismantled all because he tried to save some stupid humans!"

Yoonji, after hearing this argument too many times before, headed over to the window looking out over the city.
The siblings both shared a common need to save the new dancers but convincing Yoongi to help was like talking to a brick wall.
She had hoped he would realise that not all humans are the same but he was still too full of anger and pain to listen to what she said.

"He's just scared Yoonji, he doesn't want to lose anyone else."

Taehyung appeared next to her as they both stared sadly out at the concrete city and the humans trapped within its walls.
Yoongi remained frozen on the sofa, not moving until a haunting melody started playing from the TV.
Moving closer to the screen he saw a red haired human who sat dejectedly in the middle of the room before he started to sing in a deep voice.
It was nothing like Yoongi had ever heard before, his voice carried a haunting story whilst his dancing portrayed a spectrum of emotions ranging from desperation to anger and at last a sad acceptance.
Yoongi hadn't reached the acceptance stage in his grief but watching the human dance he thinks maybe not all humans are the same, maybe some are worth saving.
Something seemed to have changed in Yoongi as his eyes were glued to the screen, watching the dancer glide around the floor.
His movements had Yoongi hypnotised, his eyes firmly locked onto the bright red hair moving around the room like a wildfire.
He was snapped out of his trance as the human fell to the floor and the dance ended.
Now there was a small part of him saying maybe, maybe things will turn out differently.
Maybe all humans aren't selfish.
Maybe some can be trusted.

"Maybe I'll try, for you."

Yoongi promised, glancing longingly towards the empty room besides his.
With his mind now set on rescuing the humans he walked over to the window where Taehyung and Yoonji were talking quietly.

"Alright, what time is the auction?"

Yoongi asked whilst Taehyung and Yoonji stood in shock.

"You...uh...we have 3 hours before it starts."

Taehyung managed to answer Yoongi's question whilst Yoonji grinned and ran to hug him.

"He'd be proud of you."

She smiled softly when Yoongi nodded sadly.

"I'm doing it for him. This is a one off occasion because those three are good, too good, and will end up being owned by the Ruler and no one deserves that."

Taehyung beamed after finally realising that Yoongi was completely serious about saving them.

"One of them caught your eye Yoongi?"

He asked jokingly, not expecting Yoongi to respond to his teasing.

"Red hair."

He grinned as Taehyung and Yoonji stood with their mouths left wide open in surprise.
Yoongi felt surprisingly light as he watched the twins laughing, he knew then that he was doing the right thing.

"Then I'll get the purple haired dancer!!"

Taehyung shouted before running into his room to grab their emergency supply of credits.
They may not be poor but considering how well all three humans danced they'll need all the money they can get.
Even though so many things could go wrong again, the thought of things turning out differently danced around Yoongi's head in the form of a red haired human.

Notes:

Thank you guys for reading this!!

Please leave a comment if you enjoyed or didn't enjoy anything so far.

Any guesses about what happened to Yoongi's friend 4 years ago??

Chapter 6: Just One Day (Chapter 6)

Summary:

Some Namjin fluff because I don't want the whole story to just be angst.

Namjoon stared at Jin with a mixture of shock and sorrow before leading him away from the silent glade.
They had obviously meant a lot to Jin as he never talked much about his past before and hated any mention of it.

"Who were they?"

Namjoon finally asked when they were far enough away to take a rest.

"I called them my Dancers, I showed them that glade after...after I first thought of running away."

Jin explained quietly, closing his eyes at the memory.

"What were they like?"

Namjoon wrapped his arms around Jin in a hug as they leaned back against a tree stump.
The forest seemed to grow quite as Jin began to speak.

"Hoseok, the oldest, he was like a ball of sunshine and the most talented dancer I've ever seen. Then there was Jimin who was always so kind and had such angelic singing. Lastly Jungkook, the youngest, he loved to joke around with me and was so talented at everything."

Jin smiled sadly as Namjoon ran his fingers through Jin's soft pink hair.

"I found you a couple of weeks after I left them, it's been four years since I've seen them..."

Namjoon knew Jin blamed himself for leaving them alone to get caught, even though it wasn't his fault.

"It's not your fault Jin, if you hadn't have left you wouldn't have saved me."

Namjoon said as Jin buried his head further into Namjoon's shoulder and hummed in acknowledgment.
He kept running his fingers through Jin's hair trying to get him to relax as the sunset turned the sky into a lake of fire red and glowing orange.

"The sun leaves so the moon can shine, without the sun we would never see the moon."

Namjoon smiled down at Jin as he giggled quietly.

"So you're saying I'm the sun and you're the moon?"

Jin sat up and grinned at Namjoon before saying,

"Does that make me hotter than you?"

Causing Namjoon to roll his eyes as Jin fell back against his side laughing.
As much as he pretended to hate Jin's jokes they helped to lighten any situation the two of them found themselves stuck in and Namjoon couldn't be more grateful.
Once Jin had stopped laughing he grabbed their bags and stood up, the sunset illuminating him in a hazy orange light.
If Namjoon had been built with a heart it would have stopped at the sight of the gorgeous man in front of him.

"Come on Joon we need to find somewhere to sleep."

Jin grabbed Namjoon's hand and led him deeper into the forest whilst Namjoon stumbled along, still captivated by Jin's beauty.
He was so focused on Jin that Namjoon didn't notice they had stopped so ended up walking straight into a large tree branch.

"Joon you ok?"

Jin frowned as Namjoon nodded still staring at Jin in a trance like state.
Jin was saying something about sleeping in the tree as they were too close to the city to risk camping on the ground but Namjoon was too focused on the way his lips shined in the fading light.
Jin called his name again as Namjoon realised Jin had already started climbing without him.
Snapping out of his thoughts Namjoon followed Jin up into the tree.
They carried on climbing before stopping at two large branches, big enough for them to sleep on.
At this point Namjoon had forgotten about the weird emotions he had felt earlier and was now seated on one of the branches with Jin on the other.
Jin looked around hesitantly before locking eyes with Namjoon to ask,

"Joonie...could you sleep with me tonight?"

Jin looked away timidly as Namjoon smiled softly and nodded before climbing over onto Jin's branch.
There was just enough room for them both to fit side by side but as soon as Namjoon sat down Jin made space between his legs and decided to use his shoulder as a pillow.
Namjoon used some rope from his bag to tie them both to the branch before going back to stroking Jin's hair as the older closed his eyes sleepily.
The moonlight shone down on Jin's face, illuminating it with a soft silver glow causing Namjoon to feel those unknown emotions from before.

"Goodnight Jinnie."

He smiled softly before closing his eyes, getting lulled to sleep by the sound of Jin's shallow breathing.

In the morning they would head into the city to rescue Jin's Dancers but for now they enjoyed the company of each other whilst they still had the chance.

Notes:

Hey guys, I usually pre write the chapters but writers block means I only just finished this today so I hope it's ok.
Namjin make me soft if you couldn't tell.

Who will rescue the dancers first, the Androids? Namjin? Or maybe they'll both fail? You'll have to wait and see.
