he created me ᵛᵐᵒⁿ

chapter 11

¤Having his creation happy and healthy were enough for him. At least for now¤

"Tae please put that down" Namjoon said looking above a folder he was reading.

Tae smiled sheepishly and put the glass rod down. He had been in Namjoon's lab all week, ever since Joon said he could. He had also picked up his sleeping habits and Namjoon really didn't want that to happen. Tae was still only a month old now and he needed to keep up healthy habits.

"Go take a shower Tae" Namjoon said once again flicking his eyes to meet Tae's. Who was, at the moment, spinning in a circle in boredom. It probably had been a few days since he had made him bathe and he knew that the creature wouldn't get into the water without Namjoon telling him.

He wasn't even sure when the last time he had showered himself. He leaned down and sniffed himself. He crinkled his nose in disgust, well maybe he should be taking care of himself too.

"But I don't want to" Tae whispered plopping on the floor and scooting his butt closer to the desk that was in the middle of the room.

"Why are you whispering? And why not?" Namjoon said raising an eye brow at the sitting boy scooting his butt to the desk.

"Because you said I have to be quiet and because the scrubbing hurts" he said pointing to a few scars that were healed over. They shouldn't still hurt unless he had messed up somewhere and caused the skin around the area to be super sensitive, but he is really talented so he doubts that.

"You don't have to whisper when I talk to you come here"

Tae went over to Namjoon's side. Namjoon grabbed his arm and rubbed his thumb over a mark watching his body language to see if he just wanted to get out of bathing or if the scars really did hurt.

Tae watched Namjoon who suddenly touched a patch of his arm and Tae screamed. Namjoon had not touched a scar. As a matter of fact he hadn't even touched him just acted like he was.

"Do all of them hurt?" Namjoon asked going along with Tae's story.

He then touched a scar just to touch it and watched Tae who looked down and visibly flinch away. He creased his brows.

"No, only the big ones" Tae said forcing out tears. He was definitely picking up bad habits and It displeased Namjoon.

Namjoon lifted his thumb off of the mark looking over the body. Many of the smaller marks were fading while the larger ones were still prominent.

"I'll help you" Namjoon said standing up and walking down the hallway dragging Tae along.

He started the bath even though Taehyung preferred showers. Showers were much messier when one was trying to wash another. He thought of it like a cast. If one broke both arms then they would sit in a bath with both casts up while another washed them.

Tae looked mortified. Since the weeks he had been alive he has become self aware and had gained normal human dignity or shyness. which dignity he preferred at the moment.

"What are you waiting for? Get undressed" Joon said testing the water with the back of his hand.

"nooo" Taehyung whined a light blush crossing his cheeks.

"What?" Namjoon said looking over at the other confused.

"I don't want you to look" Tae said crossing his arms over his chest.

Namjoon was catching on to his shyness and couldn't help, but note the pink cheeks he was sporting.

"You are aware that I was the one that made you. I've literally seen everything" he said crossing his arms mocking Tae.

"So this is different" Tae looked wishy-washy.

"How so?" Namjoon said raising his brow.

"I didn't have a choice then and now I do" He said proudly.

"Just get in the fucking tub please" Namjoon said "I've already seen everything so don't be embarrassed." Namjoon had no ill intentions planned for the younger.

Taehyung just looked blankly at Namjoon and Namjoon looked right back. They did this for several minutes until Joon turned around tired of this.

He quickly slipped his clothes off (leaving his underwear on) and climbed into the bath.

Namjoon turned around and frowned "Really?" he said gesturing to his underwear "whatever I guess" Namjoon said.

He got on his knees pushing Tae's head underwater and pulling it back up.

Taehyung's eyes were wide as he was spurting out water and choking.

Namjoon got some shampoo and put it on his head rubbing it it, a too generous amount.

"Why did you do that?" Tae asked trying to wipe the water off of his face with wet hands.

"Do what?" Namjoon asked seriously.

"Push me underwater stupid" Tae said crossing his arms.

"How else am I supposed to get your hair wet?"

"um well maybe a cup like a normal person" Tae's voice thick with sarcasm.

"Okay I will, but I don't like the tone you've been using recently" He said finishing.

He left quickly and came back with a red cup. He filled it and dumped it on Tae's head. The soapy water running into his eyes sent Tae into a frenzy trying to get the soap out.

Namjoon's eyes widened a little and handed him a towel to wipe his eyes.

Tae looked at him with blood shot narrowed eyes "You are not doing this again"

He ignored his comment and put conditioner in his hair and then got his sponge and put some soap on.

"Arm" he said and Tae gave him his arm. He gently washed over the little scars. Tae on the other hand was still upset about getting soap dumped in his eyes.

He watched with fascination as Joon washed over all of his scars and not a lick of disgust crossed his face. It made him happy his creator cared for him and that was all he needed. A few spots were still sensitive and Joon would stop whenever he could tell it was hurting.

"Joonie" Tae said.

"hmm"

"Thank you" Tae said while leaning back and Namjoon poured the water gently over his head washing the last of the conditioner off.

"I thought you were mad at me, kept giving me an evil eye the whole time" Joon chuckled at the end.

"Yeah, but you were only trying to help" Tae said stepping out and into a towel that Joon held out.

"No problem, but now I have to shower so get out" he said pulling the drain praying that the water would have had enough time to heat up.

"Ooo let me help" Tae said suddenly not sleepy.

"Um no thanks" Namjoon said wiping a puddle of water up. His pants had wet spots on the knees and his cuffs were also wet. He gently pushed Tae out of the bathroom shutting and locking the door.

He sighed as the door closed "finally some peace an quiet" he muttered turning the knob on the shower.

Joon grew to love his company and didn't mind doing these things for him. Having his creation happy and healthy were enough for him. At least for now.
