Ateez - littlespace

Since no one mentioned whether they wanted a littlespace chapter, I decided to share it anyway! This chapter explores a littlespace dynamic, so if that's not your vibe, feel free to skip it. I'm still learning to write this kind of content, and I really hope you enjoy it. Thank you for reading along.

It was a gentle, quiet day in the dorm, a rare lull in Ateez's usually bustling schedule. On days like these, Yunho, Seonghwa, and Hongjoong took their places as caregivers, each with a little one tucked under their watchful eyes.

Yeosang, the youngest in little space at two years old, clung quietly to Yunho's hand. Yeosang was Yunho's main responsibility, a soft, quiet little who craved calm spaces and gentle play. He didn't do well with loud sounds, often flinching when voices got too loud or the room became too chaotic. Yunho knew this and always made sure that Yeosang felt safe and secure.

In contrast, Wooyoung and San were a different story altogether. Both three years old in their little space, they were a lively, noisy pair, best friends who loved to turn any space into their personal playground. They had big imaginations, louder laughs, and endless bursts of energy. Seonghwa, as Wooyoung's main caregiver, had learned to keep a close eye on his lively charge, especially when Wooyoung's enthusiasm bubbled over into mischief. San was equally active, his energy matched only by his loyalty to Wooyoung, and Hongjoong was always there to make sure San stayed safe and happy.

The three littles played differently, but all of them found warmth in the comforting presence of their caregivers.

Yeosang was sitting on Yunho's lap in a quiet corner of the living room, happily stacking some soft blocks. Yunho gently guided him, helping him balance each one as he stacked them up, giving him a small cheer each time he succeeded.

"Look at that, Yeosangie," Yunho said softly, smiling as Yeosang placed the final block on top. "So tall, just like you!"

Yeosang beamed up at Yunho, proud and comfortable in the quiet space.

Across the room, Wooyoung and San were busily building a "pirate island" out of pillows, blankets, and any soft toy they could find. Their voices filled the room as they playfully argued over who got to be the captain.

"I'm the captain!" Wooyoung declared, waving a stuffed bear like a flag.

"No, I'm the captain!" San argued, his eyes shining with excitement as he clutched his favorite plush shark.

Seonghwa quickly approached the two with a gentle but amused smile. "Hey, little pirates, how about we take turns being the captain?" he suggested, crouching down next to them. "San can be the captain first, and then Wooyoung gets his turn. Sound fair?"

They both nodded after a moment, though Wooyoung's pout lingered, which Seonghwa found absolutely adorable. He ruffled Wooyoung's hair and gave him a reassuring smile. "And you know, Captain Wooyoung is the bravest pirate I know," Seonghwa added, which immediately lifted Wooyoung's spirits.

Hongjoong joined them too, sitting beside San to help him arrange their "treasures" and making sure that neither of the boys got too loud. He noticed Yeosang glancing over from time to time, clearly curious but hesitant to join in the high-energy play. Yunho, sensing this, whispered gently to Yeosang, "Want to go say hi to your friends?"

Yeosang shook his head shyly, burying his face in Yunho's chest, though he continued to watch them from the safety of Yunho's lap.

"Maybe a little later, then," Yunho said, giving him a comforting squeeze.

After a while, Seonghwa glanced over at Yunho and suggested a quieter playtime. "How about we build something together, boys? Maybe a nice little fort?" he said, hoping this might let Yeosang feel comfortable enough to join.

Wooyoung and San agreed enthusiastically, although at a much lower volume this time, and the three caregivers began gathering blankets and pillows to create a cozy blanket fort. San and Wooyoung were still buzzing with excitement, but they kept it down, occasionally looking over to check on Yeosang.

Yunho carefully lifted Yeosang up and carried him over to the fort, softly explaining, "See? It's quiet and cozy here. Do you want to sit inside?"

With a shy nod, Yeosang crawled inside the fort with Yunho, his eyes widening as he took in the cozy space. The soft blankets and pillows were perfect for him, and he relaxed as Wooyoung and San joined, each carrying a favorite stuffed animal to add to the fort.

Once they were all inside, Wooyoung shuffled close to Yeosang, holding out his stuffed bear. "Yeo-yang, wanna be the teddy captain?" he asked with a small smile, his voice as gentle as he could make it. San, too, handed over his plush shark, understanding that playing quietly could help Yeosang feel more included.

Yeosang hesitated for a moment, looking up at Yunho for reassurance. Yunho gave him an encouraging nod, and Yeosang finally took the stuffed bear, hugging it to his chest as he shared a shy smile with Wooyoung and San.

Seonghwa, watching over the three, felt his heart warm at the sight. "Look at you three, the best little pirates around," he said softly.

With each passing minute, Yeosang grew more comfortable, even joining in on their soft giggles as they whispered about their "treasures" and cuddled up together in the fort.

The other members watched with fond smiles, each one feeling grateful for the quiet love and understanding that tied them all together. As Wooyoung and San kept Yeosang company, they made sure to play softly, proving that even their boisterous hearts could quiet down for their friend.

And for Yeosang, having his friends close by without the noise was the perfect way to spend his day.
