Ice cream

*request

Jhope and Taehyung were coming back from a photo shoot, when they passed the ice cream parlor "ohh. I want ice cream hobi-" Taehyung said, running up to the store front and eyeing the ice creams.
"Maybe after dinner tonight, you don't need any sweets right now." Jhope took Tae's hand and started to walk him away from the ice cream shop.
"But-"
"No buts," Jhope lowered his voice as not to be heard by anyone but Taehyung "don't argue with me little boy."
Taehyung blushed at the simple scolding, but his lip still poked out in a pout "no fair! I want it now!" The boy turned his head to look back at the store as they crossed the street.
"If you make a fuss out of it you won't get ice cream after dinner."
"Hobi you're mean!" Tae was getting worked up over not getting what he wanted, when he wanted. Pulling his hand back to get free from jhope's hold, he turned and darted back across the street to get back to the ice cream shop.
Jhope got to him quickly, grabbing the boy's arm and landing a hard pop, not thinking about how they were in the middle of the street, because Tae had literally run out in front of traffic. "Ow! No!"
"Don't you ever do that again young man! You can't run out in front of cars like that!"
"Hobi can't spank me," Tae started to fuss, with Jhope taking the boy's hand again and quickly walking to the dorm, wanting to be home.
"If you do that again, I'll spank you right on the street corner!"
"I'm sorry," he started to whine, not liking that idea.
"You could've gotten really hurt!"
"I'm sorry Hyung," Tae started to sniffle softly.
"What if you got hit by a car Tae?"
"Please don't be mad at Taetae."
"You definitely aren't getting any sweets tonight. After dinner it's bathtime and then straight to bed."
"Hobi no-"
"If Joonie had been here he would've spanked you bare, you know that right?"
"Please don't spank Taetae."
"When we get inside I want you in timeout."
"But-" Taehyung felt like he wasn't being listened to at all as Jhope scolded him the whole way to their apartment. Worried about what was going to happen to him for running into traffic and calling Jhope a name.
"Go on." The two had gotten to the home when Taehyung had started to speak this last time.
"Tata!" Jungkook squealed when he saw his Hyung come in. "Photos done?! Come pway!" Jungkook was holding his stuffed bunny in one hand and the controller to his game system in the other "daddy got new spywo game!"
"Kookie has been waiting to play it with his big brother all d-" Namjoon started to say until he saw jhope's flustered looking face, and Taehyung sniveling. "I think you and Tata will have to play another time Kookie, why don't you play by yourself?"
"But daddy! You said Tata would play wif me when he got home!"
"I know Kookie, but I think Tata got in trouble and can't play."
Jungkook looked heartbroken at the news, knowing he couldn't fight and play with the boy after that statement. So he gave Namjoon the controller sadly. Not wanting to play alone, "I don't wanna pway."
When Jungkook trudged away sadly, Taehyung started to cry, "Taetae got mad I wouldn't let him go to the ice cream shop and ran out in front of traffic. So now he has to sit in timeout for ten minutes." Jhope explained, waiting for the middle to go to the corner.
"What? Taetae?!"
Taehyung covered his eyes with his fists as he cried, upset no one was listening to his worries, and now he had upset Kookie. "Crying isn't going to get you out of this little boy." Jhope started to say.
"Everyone mad at Taetae!" Taehyung wailed, running away from the two men and going to his room, not caring about his timeout.
"Oh lord..." Namjoon breathed out "he's really sensitive to being in trouble when he is in headspace."
Jhope went to investigate the problem, following after the boy. Taehyung was crying on his bed with his stuffed eevee, "Taetae. We aren't mad at you."
"You yell at Taetae the whole way home! Take away dessert! Give timeout! Spanked me outside! And Kookie mad too! Cause Taetae not allow to play wif him!"
"I'm sorry if I didn't listen to what you said on the way home. I had just been so scared you might have gotten hurt. And I only gave you one pop. And Kookie isn't mad, he's just sad because he was looking forward to playing the new game with you."
"I make him sad! It's my fault!"
Jhope wasn't sure what to say to that, so he simply got into the bed with the boy and hugged him to his chest. "It's okay Taetae."
"Taetae make everyone upset with him. Always being bad. I'm sorry."
"You aren't always bad Taetae. Don't think that. We aren't upset."
"Uh huh."
"No baby. We all love you." Jhope hugged him closer, humming softly to quiet him down. "You didn't get a nap today either. Our photo shoot took a lot longer than I thought it would. And you've been in middlespace all day. You were such a good boy during the photo shoot. You didn't fuss at all, and did exactly what the managers said."
"Was hot."
"I know, all those camera lights make it hot. But you didn't whine or fuss about it. See? You aren't always bad. You aren't even bad a lot."
"Manager Noona kept poking my face."
"She had to redo you're makeup a lot. And you only complained about it once, I was very proud of you."
"Cause she was too hard."
"She wiping away some makeup and you didn't like it huh?"
"No."
"I knew you were getting cranky then too. Maybe I should just put you down for a nap instead of a timeout."
"I don't want a nap. Not sleepy." He objected, despite jhope's rocking and soft humming inbetween words lulling him to sleep.
"You aren't?"
"No."
"But you're eyes are closed."
Taehyung opened his eyes, only to close them immediately after. "When Eomma making dinner."
"It's still for a few hours. You want a snack?"
"Neh. Ice cream." He murmured the word, already half asleep.
"What about animal crackers?"
"Superman ice cream." Taehyung had his head tucked against jhope's chest, passing out as soon as the words left his mouth.
Jhope slid the boy from his embrace, tucking him into the covers and kissing the top of his head. He eased from the room and closed the door gently. "He's so sensitive."
"Yeah. I have to be careful a lot when he's in headspace." Namjoon chuckled. "It's really just making sure he knows you're hearing him. He doesn't like to feel ignored or like you're mad at him.
"I knew I should've asked for us to finish the shoot another day. But I didn't want to have to do another day of photos. It's my fault he got so fussy by the ice cream shop. He didn't get his nap after lunch."
"How long has he been in headspace?"
"Since we got up."
"That's a long day for Taetae to go without resting. I'm surprised he wasn't more irritable."
"Maybe I should just let him have dessert tonight still."
"No. You already said he couldn't have any. You can't go back, he'll start to think you only give empty threats."
"Yeah," Jhope sighed softly before shaking his head and mad his way to the bathroom to take a shower .
