Little Space

scary movie and thunderstorm

Jimin woke Yoongi up for work the next day, helping him get dressed and even packing him a lunch so he had no reason not to eat.

Jimin had to go to work as well, but he got home hours before Yoongi would. During that alone time, he stayed in the living room, staring at the TV but not watching it. Jimin was thinking about how the hell he was gonna help Yoongi get a hold on his sobriety.

It was around 8 o'clock at night when Jimin gave up on thinking about it. He turned his attention back to the TV. The lights were dim in the room and he realized the movie had changed to one of a horror genre.

Jimin shook his head to rid the worry. He focused on the movie, curling up in the blanket around him. He had a while before Yoongi came home, so he figured watching parts of a movie wouldn't hurt.

Jimin was curled up under the blanket, his whole body shaking in immense fear. He watched the screen with wide eyes and squealed whenever the noises and music would get louder, covering his eyes with his fingers.

When the killer on screen held a knife in the air, Jimin screamed and finally turned the TV off. He whimpered when he realized with the light of the television gone, he was left in an incredibly dark room. He fumbled for his phone and dialed Yoongi's number.

It rang a few times and went directly to voicemail. Jimin's anxiety rose. He called Hoseok, but Hoseok didn't answer either.

Just then, there was a huge crack of thunder. Jimin whimpered again and curled up more, spreading the blanket over him entirely.

He dialed Seokjin's number. Finally, thankfully, Seokjin picked up.

"Hey, Jimin-ah. Is everything okay?"

"U-Uncle Jinnie. S-Scared," Jimin whined, voice uneven. He closed his eyes tightly.

"Aw, why are you scared, sweetheart? Where's Yoongi-ah?" Seokjin asked soothingly.

"D-Daddy's at w-work. Daddy didn't a-answer like you did." Jimin flinched at another sound of thunder. "I-I watched a — a scary movie and it — now there's thunder. Don' like it, Uncle Jinnie."

"Oh, sweetie. I wish I could come over there for you, I just can't tonight. But I can be on the phone with you until you feel better, if you'd like."

"Yes, please, Uncle Jinnie," Jimin whispered. He heard Seokjin sigh quietly on the other end as he thought.

"Okay, sweetheart. What can I do to make you feel better?"

"D-Dunno. It's dark an' scary. All the lights are off, Uncle Jin!" Jimin whispered loudly into the microphone.

"Well, go turn them on, silly!" Seokjin laughed.

Jimin, realizing how silly he was being, giggled. "That's a good idea!" He stood up and turned on the lights. He felt a lot safer immediately. "But... It's still thundering, Uncle Jinnie!"

"I'm afraid I can't fix that one, sweetie. It should be over soon, though. Maybe try listening to some music with your headphones. Or watch cartoons!"

Jimin gasped lightly. "Why is Uncle Jin sooo smart?"

Seokjin laughed. "Is Jiminie gonna be okay?"

"'M gonna be okay!" Jimin reassured. "Thank you, Uncle Jinnie! I love you," he sang.

"I love you too, Jimin-ah." Jimin could hear the smile in Seokjin's voice.

Jimin made a kissing noise into the phone before hanging it up.

Yoongi came home a bit later than he should have. He threw his keys on the counter and kicked his shoes off, leaving his things in the kitchen. Jimin padded into the room, hands on his hips.

"Hey, J—"

"You don't get to talk, Mister!" Jimin said in his best angry voice. However, being little, he barely had one. He sounded more like an angry puppy.

Yoongi looked down at him with mock surprise. "Why? What did I do?"

"Daddy didn't answer my phone calls when I was scared! You're in so much trouble!" Jimin pointed at him accusingly.

Yoongi looked at him, genuinely confused. He pulled out his phone and saw there was a missed call from Jimin. "Oh. Daddy's sorry, Jiminie. I didn't hear my phone ring." He sighed as he put away his phone.

Jimin growled at him softly. "Daddy owes Diminie."

"What does Jiminie want from Daddy?" Yoongi asked, placing his hands on the younger's hips.

"Hmm..." Jimin hummed. His face perked up like he had gotten an idea. He bounced happily. "I know!"

"What is it, baby?" Yoongi asked, pulling Jimin closer.

"Daddy has to give Diminie kisses and cuddles all night!" Jimin grinned.

"Deal," Yoongi said, lifting his pinky. Jimin beamed and linked his pinky with Yoongi's. They each kissed their thumb and touched their thumbs together, making Jimin giggle. "That means Daddy gets to spoil his little prince."

Yoongi lead them to the couch and held Jimin against him. He kissed Jimin, much to the younger's delight, and rubbed his back. He kept his arms wrapped around the little, continuing to kiss his cheeks, forehead, nose, and mouth. Jimin was a giggling mess next to him, cheeks red. Yoongi smiled just as much, enjoying every part of being with his boyfriend.
