Word count: 845 Warning: Little space
Caregiver: Bang Chan Title: dada or daddy
Little: Yang Jeongin Little age: 1-2
Jeongin sat quietly on the couch as he watched Chan run back and fourth. The elder was trying to get the dorm in some sort of order, seeing as the boys left a huge mess before they left for practice. Jeongin whined quietly already starting to get impatient. "I'm almost done baby then we can play" Chan said loud enough for the boy to hear him. The younger only whined louder. He hated waiting. He just wanted Chan already.
It had been a few weeks since Jeongin last slipped. They've been recording and practicing nonstop lately and finally the two boys had a day where Jeongin could slip into little space. He had been so stressed with everything going on and Chan felt bad. They had to get rid of the other boys since they didn't know about Jeongin's secret. The only way to get away from the others was to claim that the youngest was feeling ill, so they would be excused from practice.
"There baby now there's space for you to play" Chan said while plopping down on the couch next to the younger. The younger only whined in response and crawled into Chan's lap.
"Too little to talk today sweetheart?" Chan asked. The other hummed quietly and nuzzled his face in Chan's neck. "Dada" he mumbled quietly while clutching on to the older's shirt tightly. Chan smiled softly and rubbed Jeongin's back. He rushed to clean for nothing. The younger was obviously tired and just wanted to cuddle.
With that thought in his mind Chan stood up carefully while holding onto the sleepy boy. "Wanna lay down with daddy?" Chan asked while walking towards his room. Jeongin hummed and nodded in agreement. He was never talkative when he was in little space. Chan had to fight him to use actual words. It's hard to tell what he needs when all he does is whine in response to everything.
It probably took Chan a month to get Jeongin to talk properly in little space, but sometimes, like today Jeongin would slip into an even younger headspace and not be able to form actual sentences. Jeongin yawned quietly as Chan laid him down in his bed.
A lot of things in the dorm changed after Chan found out about Jeongin being a little. Their sleeping arrangements for one thing. He wanted Jeongin to have a safe place where he could keep his little things out and not worry about the other boys seeing it, so Changbin moved out of Chan's room so the youngest could move in there.
The other boys were obviously confused about the change, but no one really dared to question the leader. Of course Jisung and Felix immediately jump to the conclusion that the two were dating. Which at first wasn't true, but the longer Chan took care of the little the more he fell in love with him. It wasn't long before they were an actual couple.
Jeongin whined once more as he watched Chan start picking up things off the floor. "Sorry sweetheart. Things are just so messy it's driving daddy nuts" he said while softly throwing a plushie at the younger's face. The little giggled quietly and softly snuggled the plushie that was thrown at him.
"Dada" he mumbled while snuggling up in Chan's blankets. Chan knew the drill already, putting little Jeongin to sleep is 10x easier than when he's in his regular headspace. The elder grabbed a pacifier from Jeongin's drawer and laid next to the smaller boy.
He softly slipped the pacifier into his mouth and watched adoringly as Jeongin sucked on it. "You're the cutest baby in the world!" Chan gushed while kissing the younger's nose softly and pulling him into his chest. The best thing about little Jeongin is, he's a cuddly baby. He always wants to be held and loved. Big Jeongin hated when his hyungs gushed over him.
It's moments like this that Chan holds close. When Jeongin is staring up at him with big innocent eyes and it's dead quiet in the dorm except for the soft suckles coming from the young boy. He wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. Of course Initially it was strange, but Chan found himself falling into the caregiver roll quite easily and perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he's the leader of his team.
He's used to taking care of other people and putting everyone's needs first, but it's different when Jeongin is little. It's completely intimate and it's only Chan and Jeongin, nobody else. "I love you Jeonginnie" Chan whispered while running his hands through Jeongin's messy hair.
Jeongin popped his pacifier out of his mouth and smiled at his caregiver "love dada" he whispered the smile never leaving his face. Chan blushed and hummed quietly. He'll never get used to hearing the younger say he loves him, no matter how he says it Chan's heart flutters.
