Little Space

idk how to title this but its cute

"Please tell me I'm not the only one," Namjoon groaned. "The pouty lip and the little wiggle melts everyone else right?"

Jungkook straightened his back and pointed. "With the fucking puppy eyes! It gets me every single fucking time! I know what Tae's doing, but I always cave!"

Yoongi chuckled lightly. He took another sip of his soda and reclined in his chair. "Gets me too."

Seokjin gave Yoongi a look. "You cave whenever Jimin does anything."

Yoongi tried to suppress his grin and looked down. Jungkook laughed.

"Okay, but what about that cute little whine? With the cute little blinking?"

Yoongi was openly beaming. "Jimin's so cute when he does that..."

Seokjin leaned against Namjoon's arm. "Hoseok does the sweetest thing. He sits on the floor and puts his feet together and just kind of holds his feet as he watches something."

Jungkook gasped. "Aww, that's adorable! Tae holds his pacifier and chews on it with the side of his mouth. And he won't even realize it. He looks around while chewing on it."

Namjoon smiled. "What does Jiminie do, Yoongi hyung?"

Yoongi fiddled with the bottle cap on his soda, smiling to himself. "When he gets sleepy, he babbles and I don't think he even knows he's doing it. He gets all cuddly and babbles. Not even real words, just these little sounds. And his eyelids start getting all droopy and his blinking gets slower and he'll fall asleep right where he is. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen."

It was silent for a moment before Jungkook giggled. "Guys, hyung has a heart."

Namjoon snorted and Seokjin smacked his arm. Yoongi just shrugged and stared at his can, still smiling like an idiot.

From the living room, Hoseok, Taehyung, and Jimin can hear their caregivers in the kitchen. It was mostly just Seokjin scolding Namjoon and Jungkook laughing.

"No, seriously, if you want them to do anything at all, just pout and whine. They cave every single time," Hoseok giggled. "I use it all the time."

Jimin splayed himself across Taehyung's lap. "Whine and blink innocently. That's a good combination."

Taehyung gasped. "That's such a good idea. Jungkook will definitely fall for that."

Jimin giggled and starting playing with his fingers. "I love having little friends."

Taehyung and Hoseok smiled down at him. Taehyung brushed his fingers through Jimin's hair. "I love it too."

Hoseok reclined against the couch. "It's amazing. Little space. Why didn't I try it before?"

Jimin giggled behind his hand. "Does it feel all tingly to you guys too?"

Taehyung nodded enthusiastically. "All tingly and warm."

"It's so cool. I love it." Hoseok smiled.

"Y'know what I love?" Taehyung asked. "Fuckin' jumping on Jungkookie."

Jimin burst out laughing. "I'm sure he loves that too."

Yoongi's soft giggle came from the doorway. Jimin gasped and looked in the direction of the kitchen, sitting up. His eyes were wide and his knuckles were white as he gripped at the hem of his shirt.

"Daddy giggled."

Taehyung blinked and looked up at Hoseok, who was chuckling. Taehyung tilted his head and Hoseok shrugged. "Carers are triggers too."

Jimin took in a deep breath. "Daddy!" he yelled.

Yoongi sprinted in less than a second later, tripping when he made it through the door. "Jimin. Jimin, what's wrong?"

Jimin smiled up at him sweetly from the floor. "Hi."

Yoongi put a hand on his chest, panting. "Baby. Hi. How are you?"

Jimin reached his arms up, opening and closing his hands in Yoongi's direction. Yoongi walked over and pulled the little into his arms. He rested Jimin on his hip and tickled under his chin, causing the younger to squeal.

"Daddy," Jimin whispered. He moved closer to whisper into Yoongi's ear, blocking his mouth from sight with a hand. "I love you."

Yoongi giggled. "I love you too."

Hoseok and Taehyung were looking up at them when the other three came in. Seokjin blinked and looked at Yoongi and Jimin cuddling and whispering to each other.

"Everything okay?" Seokjin asked.

Hoseok's eyes seemed to twinkle and he looked at his caregivers. "Daddy. Appa."

Seokjin squeaked and ran over to him. He picked Hoseok up and brought him over to Namjoon, who covered the little's face in kisses.

Taehyung huffed. "Jungkookie Bear!"

Jungkook came strolling into the living room, drinking from his soda can. "Yeah?"

Taehyung put his hands on his hips. "Come c-cuddle me. Now, J-Jungkookie."

Jungkook smiled. He followed his orders and went to Taehyung, sitting on the floor and pulling the elder into his lap, facing him. Taehyung threw his arms around Jungkook's neck and nuzzled his face into his shoulder.

"Daddy?" Jimin asked. Yoongi hummed. "Can — can I have sweets, Daddy?"

Yoongi tried his hardest not to cave. "No, baby, you've had enough."

"But, Daddy," Jimin whined softly. He stuck out his bottom lip and blinked innocently, wiggling a bit in Yoongi's arms.

"Yes, yes," Yoongi panted. "Of course, yes. Come on, baby. My prince. Let's go get you sweets." Yoongi pressed kisses to Jimin's cheek and carried him into the kitchen.

"Uncle Yoongi loses just like Daddy and Appa," Hoseok giggled.

"We do not!" Seokjin protested.

"Daddy. Appa," Hoseok sing-songed. "I wub you."

Namjoon practically flailed. Seokjin's eyes widened and he cooed. They both began kissing the little and ruffling his hair.

Taehyung laughed. "H-Hey, Jungko—"

"I'm not falling for that." Jungkook took another sip of his soda. "I'm immune to your shit, Kim Taehyung. I love it, but I'm immune."

Taehyung pouted. "T-Then I'm getting it m-myself!"

Taehyung tried to get up from Jungkook's lap, but the youngest held him there. The pouty little glared at him.

"Taetae, don't you wanna sit with Kookie Bear?" Jungkook asked, sticking out his bottom lip.

Taehyung groaned and cupped Jungkook's face, giving his pleading mouth a kiss. "I'm s-supposed to be the l-little!"

Jungkook grinned and set his soda down. He grabbed Taehyung and kissed his face all over until all other noises were drowned out by his happy squealing.
