Finally, Chan feels Minho slumping back down against his side again. Where the little got the previously new energy from in the first place really is a mystery to him. Changbin seems to sense the change in energy as well because he softly runs his hand through the boy's hair and leans forward to press a small kiss on his cheek, "I think it's time for our little baby to sleep".
Pushing himself up he looks at Jisung who then, lucky for Chan, walks the two steps around the bed and leaves a soft kiss on the littles head as well as one on the head of Mr. BunBun and then the two boys shuffle towards the door. With a last move of Gyu's little arms, imitating a wave, Changbin follows Jisung out of the room, quietly closing the door and leaving Chan alone with the sleepy boy next to him.
For a moment they just lay there, Minho lightly sucking on the bunny's ear and tired eyes looking aimlessly around the room and Chan admiring the relaxed look painted on the younger's face. The peaceful atmosphere nearly making him forget about the bottle on the bedside table but then he reaches out a hand and feels the temperature.
After the whole distraction with Gyu, the milk already cooled down a considerable amount but it should still be fine. He gently hoists the boy a little further up and tries to remove the ear of the poor bunny from the others mouth. Promptly he gets a frustrated whine but before Minho is even able to voice his complaint, Chan already guides the teat of the bottle towards the others mouth.
"Ah ah there you go, no need to pout hm?", followed by gently pressing the tip of the bottle against Minho's lips and the little immediately latching onto it. With the welcoming warm liquid running down his throat, a small sigh escapes the boy. Realizing that the boy makes no move to hold the bottle on his own, Chan continues to hold it for him and fondly watches how the little manages to finish off the whole bottle.
He places the, now empty, bottle back on the bedside table and feels how the little shifts and snuggles closer into his side. Looking back down Chan finds the boy with his head resting on his chest, the fingers of his one hand squeezing his shirt and the ones of his other hand tangled into the dry ear of Mr. BunBun.
Seeing the little so at peace, sends a warm feeling through his body. Even though the past hours were truly nerve wracking for the caregiver, for the first time experiencing the helpless feeling of not knowing how to calm the panicking little down, he wouldn't have it any other way.
Minho is so precious, not only to him but to all the boys. The little filling the house with bright laughter and a carefree atmosphere and it wasn't a rare occurrence that Chan rather had to scold the other members for being too loud or tell them to calm down a bit while spending time with little-Minho, instead of the little himself. Each and every one of them wanting to get their quality-time with little-Minho and maybe even going so far as to not tell the other dorm that Minho slipped. Remembering the day where Minho apparently woke up in headspace and Felix decided it was a good idea to teach the little how to bake brownies. While the little had the time of his life, playing with the flour and smearing the melted chocolate nearly all over himself, Felix can only describe the hours in the kitchen as a complete disaster. The whole fiasco ending with him guiltily calling Chan, admitting that Minho has been little the whole morning and begging the older one to come over and save him from the little chocolate-monster running around their dorm.
"Sleep well Minnie, Baba loves you soooo much", Chan whispers into the littles hair, softly placing a kiss on his forehead.
With a gentle finger he pushes a few hair strands out of the little's face and watches how his eyes start to flutter shut, sleep washing over him in slow but steady waves and the calming heartbeat of his caregiver as well as the hand playing with his hair, further lulling him into unconsciousness. Looking down at Minho, Chan finds himself with a loving smile gracing his face and nothing but pure admiration and warmth in his heart.
