nail polish

Jimin walked into the room with his arms behind his back. Yoongi looked up at him, waiting for him to ask for something. Jimin looked down at his feet and moved them around. Yoongi prompted him to speak.

"Daddy, um... C-Could you..." he stammered, looking around.

"Jiminie?" Yoongi gave him a gentle look. "You can ask me anything. Go ahead."

Jimin hesitantly pulled out whatever was behind his back and set it on the coffee table. Yoongi looked down at two bottles of nail polish, one a lavender colour and the other a bright but soft pink. Jimin's cheeks turned a rosy pink when Yoongi met his eyes again.

"C-Can Daddy paint D-Diminie's nails?" Jimin fidgeted with his fingers.

Yoongi smiled fondly and patted the couch next to him. Jimin sat down shyly.

"Of course, baby boy."

Jimin beamed at him. Yoongi took Jimin's hand in his and shook the pastel purple nail polish bottle, then opened it. Jimin watched curiously as he painted the nails on Jimin's left hand. Yoongi was focusing intently on each nail. By the end, he was satisfied.

Yoongi held Jimin's finished hand by the younger's face. "It fits you perfectly, baby! It's beautiful."

Jimin giggled and held his other hand out to him. Yoongi painted his right hand as well. Yoongi took Jimin's hands to his mouth and blew on them. When they were dry, Yoongi kissed each of Jimin's knuckles.

Jimin was grinning. "Can Diminie paint Daddy's nails too?"

Yoongi was reluctant. "Uh... I don't know, baby..."

"Please? Daddy would look so pretty with pink nails! They'd match your hair!" Jimin bounced up and down excitedly

Yoongi thought for another moment before letting out a sigh and agreeing. "Sure."

Jimin squealed and pulled Yoongi's hands to his leg, painting each of his nails carefully. Yoongi watched Jimin's face as he concentrated, his little pink tongue sticking out of the side of his mouth. He wanted to kiss him so badly, but he knew Jimin would scold him for distracting him from his nails.

Jimin looked up to tell Yoongi he was all done and Yoongi took that moment to lean forward and kiss Jimin. Jimin squealed, surprised, and kissed him back sweetly.

"Thank you, Jimin. They're beautiful."

Jimin giggled. "You didn't even see them yet, Daddy!"

Yoongi smiled back. "I don't need to." He kissed Jimin again. "You're always gonna—" Another kiss. "—make everything—" And another. "—beautiful."

Jimin laughed against his mouth. "Why is Daddy kissing me so much?"

"Daddy. Loves. His. Jiminie." He punctuated each word with a kiss.

"Daddyyy," Jimin whined bashfully, hiding his cheeks.

Yoongi pulled away, chuckling. He finally looked down at his nails. They were a pretty pink, almost the exact colour of his hair. "I love them, baby."

"Yay," the younger giggled.

"One more kiss?" Yoongi asked, pouting.

Jimin leaned forward and kissed Yoongi himself. "Last one! I can only kiss so much!"

Yoongi laughed. "Yeah, yeah." He hugged Jimin to himself and kissed his forehead, playing with his hair.
