36

Jeongguk was lying on the couch, holding his sippy bottle up with his hands, looking at his caregiver who was wandering all around the house while he drank the milk. His eyes never left him and watched him quietly with anticipation. 

Taehyung was wandering all around the house, setting all the things together for Jeongguk's joining the company. It's going to younger's first day at the company the next day and Taehyung was fretting out. He wants everything to be perfect about younger. The first impressions. 

He put all the required documents in a backpack and hung a semi-formal attire ready aside. He was about to go to the kitchen when he heard someone call him. He turned around to see jeongguk making grabby hands towards him still having the bottle. He sighed heavily and calmed down. He was fretting over nothing. He was just worried about the younger. 

He walked to the younger, picked him up and sat down on the couch as he cradled the younger. "Sometimes I wish I had little space to escape from the world too" Taehyung mumbled looking at the oblivious younger who was looking at him with his wide doe eyes as he caressed his face. "I hope everything goes well tomorrow," Taehyung said and smiled before he bopped his nose with the younger which made the younger giggle. 

"Taetae twickles." Jeongguk giggled. "It tickles, huh!" Taehyung laughed and tickled the younger's sides which made the younger giggle louder. He kept thrashing around on the elder's lap as he giggled.

Taehyung was sitting on the couch all ready, bouncing his leg and biting his nails as he waited for the younger to walk out of their room. It was his first day at the company and Taehyung was more tensed than younger is. He has a lot of thoughts running through his head. He was afraid if the younger could manage to be with all hot-headed employees at the company. And dealing with people at a company is a lot worse than dealing with students/bullies in schools and colleges. He just wants to make sure everything is alright cuz if the younger slips into his headspace at work, that would leave him a negative remark on his internship bonafide cuz, not all people are ok with Little space. 

Jeongguk said he will be able to manage is his work, but if he feels really triggered, he said he would definitely come to him. 

Taehyung kept looking at their door until it finally creaked open and revealed a cute looking Jeongguk in his formal attire. He wore grey trousers and white shit, sleeves neatly cuffed at his wrists, his blue hair neatly combed back. Taehyung stood up from the couch with wide eyes and mouth little ajar. 

It was really rare to find younger to wear something of his size, let alone in formal attire. His long legs and slim waist were on display. His shirt perfectly fits his body. Taehyung walked to the younger and cupped his cheeks. "You look really cute, baby" Taehyung smiled and pecked younger's lips. Jeongguk shyly smiled "Thank you, hyungie" He mumbled. 

Taehyung keenly observed his attire and his boyfriend instincts kicked in immediately. The shirt that the younger was wearing was a bit revealing his slim waist that the elder didn't like. He kept staring until Jeongguk called with a pout. 

" Hyungie, you are staring." The younger pouted. Taehyung came out of his trance and grinned sheepishly. "Baby, are you ok with the clothes you are wearing? You are used to baggy clothes and your clothes might itch you or irritate your skin. Is that fine?" He asked.

Jeongguk shook his head "No, hyung. I am comfortable in them. Don't worry!" Jeongguk smiled. Taehyung nodded his head understanding. He mentally noted to keep an eye on the younger at the company. 

"Alright, shall we leave?" Taehyung clasped his hands together. Jeongguk nodded. "Just a second, let me bring my bag. Stay here!"Taehyung remarked this as he entered their room. He immediately gathered his belongings and was ready to leave the room when something struck him. He walked to the drawer and picked the pack of wet wipes, Jeongguk's pacifier, his empty sippy bottle and 2 extra diapers for the younger. Just in case he slips into his headspace. He slipped them into his bag discreetly, oblivious to younger. He knew the younger would be embarrassed if he found out he was carrying little space items. Taehyung just doesn't want to take any risks. His caregiver instincts kick in really hard.
