Summary: A deleted scene that takes place sometime in my previous fic. Probably shouldn't be read alone. And because I... couldn't help it, I just really like these two, okay!?

Yoongi decides to sacrifice himself to test Hoseok's sexuality. It's nothing too terrible - Hoseok's an attractive guy - and this is for the good of the group. Or science. Or something.

So, he invites Hoseok to go to the studio with him late one night. He knows that Hoseok is bone tired, but at the same time Yoongi almost never invites people to the studio so it would be dumb to object. Yoongi smirks at the chorus of impressed "oooooohhh"s that fills the room when Hoseok accepts with a sigh.

When they get to the studio, however, Yoongi pulls out his secret stash of soju and snacks. Hoseok is less-than impressed, but Yoongi puts on his best innocent face and whines about missing his old life of fun in the clubs and manages to guilt Hoseok into keeping him company and partaking. Besides, tomorrow was a free day so they could sleep off their hangovers.

Yoongi is going to get Hoseok spectacularly drunk and attempt to make out with him. That's it. That's the plan. It's not his finest, but people are most honest when they're drunk and Yoongi really needs to figure out Hoseok's head.

So they drink on the floor and Yoongi keeps finding ways to pour more alcohol into Hoseok's cup. He knows that he could use the drunken honesty to find out all the details about Taehyung, but simply making out with Hoseok could be fun for all with no consequences whereas the extraction of information would sit in Yoongi's gut like guilt-ridden lead.

Eventually, Hoseok's face is red and he's leaning back against the soundboard with a tiny smile on his face. And Yoongi knows it's go-time.

"Do you remember that time, in the club in Hongdae?" He starts, taking another swig of soju straight from the bottle. Hoseok's face is puzzled at first until it dissolves into a tiny giggle.

"You mean when I discovered your, er, opportunism?" He's slurring just enough to be cute, edging on sloppy. Yoongi laughs and continues.

"Yeah, I mean you never brought it up again. It didn't freak you out?" Hoseok's smile borders on perplexed until he smooths it out again.

"Nah, man, it was just you. Who am I to... give a shit about who you fu- hook up with?" Hoseok is ever careful to keep his language in check, "I'll never judge you for being you. You're awesome, hyung." His answer is so completely, genuinely Hoseok and he's smiling his soft smile, the one he uses to encourage Junggook or Taehyung when he wants them to know that he's got them no matter what. Yoongi feels warm all of a sudden. He thinks momentarily of giving up, of just running with this information, but the devious part of him is partly invested in the plan and completely intrigued by the thought of kissing one of his best friends.

"So, you're okay with guys hooking up with guys?" Yoongi leans forward, folding his legs up and under him so he's on his knees across from Hoseok. Unfortunately, Hoseok's face is so red that he can't tell if he's blushing or not. But Hoseok giggles and squirms a little, to kick him lightly, before answering.

"No, I mean, it didn't look that different..." Hoseok is playing with his soju cup as he answers, oblivious to his hyung moving into his personal space.

"Then you won't mind if I-" Yoongi finally leans in, his hand going behind Hoseok's neck. Hoseok's face is a picture of intrigued trust, until their lips touch and then he's sharply inhaling. But, he's not flipping out, not pulling away or demanding explanation. So Yoongi runs with it.

He presses into him a little harder, molding his lips against the younger boy's. And Hoseok's right hand finds his knee and just holds there, while the other grips the edge of Yoongi's too-loose jersey.

Yoongi finds this to be a far more enjoyable moment than it should be, and it only take a few seconds until they devolve into messy, full-blown making out. Hoseok makes little fluttery gasping noises and Yoongi really doesn't find himself turned off by them.

When Hoseok's hand spasms at his knee and Yoongi catches himself contemplating the dynamics of a handjob between friends, he finally decides that his experiment was a success and he should probably stop molesting his bandmate.

Yoongi pulls back and his breath momentarily catches in his throat at the mildly puzzled but still blissed-out look on Hoseok's face. And then Yoongi laughs awkwardly, until Hoseok joins him, also awkwardly. The second Hoseok calms down enough to form the beginnings of a question, Yoongi is pouring more alcohol down his throat.

The next morning finds them sprawled out on the floor of the studio. Hoseok's phone is what wakes them up, blaring Bing Bing and making Yoongi want to kill everything everywhere. Hoseok finally answers it with a groan and it's loud enough that Yoongi can hear Taehyung asking if Hoseok is still on for going to the PC Bang in an hour. Yoongi feels mildly guilty, but only mildly.

While Yoongi folds into the fetal position, Hoseok makes himself move, slowly and painfully. He clears away their garbage silently and only when he's finished does he shake Yoongi back awake, demanding they go home together.

Yoongi shakes him off with a little bit of a snarl (he really hates mornings, okay?) and Hoseok finally gives up. Yoongi assumes that he totally forgot the night before until a soft "Hyung, if you really miss your life before debut I bet you can relive it with Jimin. I mean I'm flattered but I bet you wouldn't have to get him drunk."

And then the door clicks shut, leaving Yoongi with his eyes wide open and his heart thundering in his ears.

On the plus side, Hoseok will never hold this against him. On the minus, he's going to really need to re-evaluate his life if Hoseok was making those sorts of implications about his relationship with Jimin.
