The ravenette hushed his little kitten as he held him close and rocked him gently, hand smoothing his messy hair in a comforting manner.
“Had a nightmare.. Mommy and daddy were gone a-and I was a-alone..”
“Shh, kitten. We're right here, daddy's got you.”
But Akemi only sniffled softly and buried his face even deeper in the crook of his daddy's neck for maximum comfort.
The little boy's soft cries and Minho's sleepy voice had woken Jisung up as well but before he could actually think what he was doing, he had instinctively moved closer to his family to check up on his whimpering kitten.
“Kitten?”
He asked quietly and cupped his baby's chubby cheek when Akemi lifted his head.
Jisung carefully wiped the little boy's tears from his cheeks and placed a soft kiss on his forehead.
In the meantime Minho had turned the lamp on his bedside table on, knowing quite well that their adorable kitten was scared of the dark.
And it wasn't helpful to stay in the dark to calm the already worked up tiny boy.
A small hand grabbed Jisung's and squeezed it gently, making the blonde smile softly.
“You're okay, bub. Mommy and daddy are here, we're not going anywhere. Do you want to sleep here for the rest of the night?”
The little boy nodded softly with a pout on his face and snuggled back into Minho's chest when Jisung sat beside his husband so he could rub his son's back.
It wasn't the first nightmare that had woken the little boy up in complete distress and his parents were slowly growing extremely worried.
Akemi hadn't said anything about a scary or traumatizing incident at the daycare nor had Jisung and Minho ever left their little boy completely alone to make him think they had left him.
But something must have scared the poor boy to the point it continued to haunt him in his sleep.
“Come on, bub. Let's go back to sleep, hm?”
“No!”
Minho jumped slightly at his son's sudden outburst and instinctively held him a little closer as he cradled his head to his chest.
“But kitten, we're right here. Nothing is going to happen to you, hm?”
Jisung whispered softly to his child and gifted Akemi a reassuring smile when he looked up at him with big, sad eyes.
But only when the blonde cupped his squishy kitten cheeks and placed a long kiss on the boy's forehead, Akemi sighed deeply.
Minho carefully laid back down with their son still in his embrace and smiled when Jisung tucked them in, pressing one peck on their kitten's head and another one on Minho's forehead.
“Sleep well, cuties.”
The blonde giggled softly before he walked around the bed to snuggle under the covers on his side of the mattress.
“Can we leave the light on?”
“Of course. But sleep now, kitten. We're here and your best buddy is here too, hm?”
Minho chuckled as he cuddled his son's beloved jaguar plushie to his chest and nuzzled the boy's cheek with the jaguar plushie's nose.
Akemi giggled cutely and sighed happily when Jisung placed his arm over his loved ones, pulling them closer.
His eyes met his husband's tired ones, a soft smile blooming on his face when Minho gave him this cute smile with sparkling eyes.
Even after all those years they have been together, they had never lost these little sparkles that always appeared when the ravenette looked at his soulmate, the love of his life.
“I love you, Sungie.”
“Love you more, baby. And you, little, squishy kitten.”
Jisung giggled and smooched his son's soft cheek again before he cuddled back under his blanket.
It was late, they really needed to sleep now.
“Sleep well, babies.”
