Littles: Minho & Felix

Caregivers: Seungmin & Jeongin

No one's POV.:

Felix had been looking forward to Christmas for a while already, starting to decorate his room on the first of December. He was also one of the members who completed their Christmas shopping the earliest, while some still stressed over what to get their friends. Sadly, the group was also pretty busy, so aside from decorating his room at the dorm, there wasn't much Felix could do to enjoy the season. That also meant that the dancer didn't have the time to slip into his headspace. Sure, he could slip right before going to bed every night and listen to a 'Rudolph' audiobook till he fell asleep but with how tired he was, he was usually out like a light as soon as his head hit the pillow. The busy schedules were weighing on Felix and he tried to soothe himself by listing all the things he wanted to do as soon as he had a chance to regress. It was risky thinking about littlespace activities and noting them down in dressing rooms and waiting areas backstage, as it might make him feel fuzzy, but at the same time, it was the only thing that kept him holding on.

During one of his trips to the mall to buy Christmas presents, Felix had found a few cute cookie cutters and obviously couldn't walk away without getting them. Baking cookies for his friends had been very high up on his list and once they'd be off for the holidays, he'd get to work. The dancer loved to make people smile by giving them handmade treats, plus, baking was something he also really enjoyed doing when he was in his headspace, so it was a complete win. One of the cookie cutters was shaped like a cat face, so Felix decided to get two of them. Considering Minho was a little too, the Aussie knew he had good chances of getting his hyung to bake with him because it was always more fun to do it together. Not with too many people as it would only get chaotic but with one or two friends, it be the perfect playdate.

Felix couldn't wait for their break, already slipping the moment they finished their last schedule before the holidays. Chan had carried the boy to the waiting car, letting him cry on his shoulder. Felix didn't even know he was crying because he wasn't sad. It was a mixture of excitement and relief, which overwhelmed him after running on little sleep and not having slipped in a long time. Hyunjin sat next to his dongsaeng in the car, cooing at how emotional the younger was. The two dancers played peek-a-boo for a few minutes and Hyunjin managed to stop Felix' tears and make him giggle. Sniffling softly, the little rested his head on Jeongin's shoulder, who sat on his other side, the maknae gently patting his friend's knee. Sandwiched between his friends, the low rumble of the car soon lulled Felix to sleep.

When Minho wanted to carry him up to their shared dorm though, the younger was suddenly wide awake. Clutching his hyung's hand, Felix waddled along and cutely waved at Chan, Changbin, Jisung and Hyunjin as they parted ways. The rest of the evening seemed to pass smoothly as Minho got Felix ready for bed but as soon as he was ready to tuck the younger in, the boy announced that he wasn't sleepy and wanted to play instead. "Lixxie, we can play tomorrow, hm? You'll be tired tomorrow if you stay up late now", Minho tried but his dongsaeng only crossed his arms and huffed. Desperate for a solution, the older tried: "I could go and ask Seungmin if he sings you a lullaby. Only if you're good though and behave yourself. Don't be grumpy with your hyung because he wants to go to bed too." Felix didn't look satisfied but Seungmin had heard his name when passing by the open bedroom door and joined them without Minho having to get him. "Do you maybe want hyung to make you a bottle? Some warm milk is the perfect way to get cozy before bed, isn't it?", the vocalist offered, earning a shy smile and nod from Felix.

When Seungmin returned, shaking the bottle, another problem arose. Minho looked so tense and uncomfortable but Seungmin didn't know if the older would want being called out, so he only shot his hyung a questioning look. "Wou-would you be okay with tucking Lixxie in once he's done with hi-his baba?", the second oldest asked nervously. He didn't want to let his dongsaengs down but- "If I watch, you'd probably have to deal with both of us", Minho admitted, trying to avoid looking at Seungmin for the fear of seeing the bottle and slipping. Placing the baby bottle down, the vocalist agreed: "I got him, hyung. Just go to bed. We're all tired and once you got some rest, both of you can have a playdate tomorrow." Muttering a quiet 'thanks', Minho fled to his room and got ready for bed. He tried to push away the guilty feeling settling at the pit of his stomach. He knew Seungmin was well capable of caring for Felix, so why did it feel so wrong to leave them there?
