It's been easier, these last few months. Having Jungkook at his side has buoyed Yoongi's moods, and he finds he's slightly less susceptible to the shadows that sometimes overcome him. It comes from being able to talk to someone, he thinks. He can tell Jungkook when things are starting to shift and fend it off before it gets bad. It doesn't hurt that he's happier now than he's been in years. But when the moods do come over him and he can't help the darkness in his head, it helps to have Jungkook there to hold him. The warmth of his body pressed against Yoongi's, the security of arms wrapped around him, it helps, when Yoongi was so sure nothing could. As much as he doesn't like feeling like he's dragging Jungkook down with him, he knows he recovers faster for sharing it.

"True," he allows. Even Taehyung has his stormier moments, though it seems to Yoongi like even those carry more energy in their own way than Yoongi's. It helps a little to think that's the case, though, that it isn't just him. He hesitates a moment, turning it all over in his head, and pulls Jungkook just a fraction closer. "But even then... when I need quiet, I... it helps. That you're there."
