Little Things

Hands in the Cookie Jar

Suga and TaeTae get caught eating late night snacks

Non-idol AU (Most of these will be that way)

I am not confident when I write the little's dialogue so I always ask my friend to check it for me; this time she told me there wasn't really anything to change so I left it the way it is but I'm still worried about it ^_^'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On some nights when Yoongi knows he doesn't have work, he stays up and Suga comes out to play.

Sometimes Taehyung wakes up from a nightmare and TaeTae surfaces.

This is one of those nights for both littles.

~~

"12:11 AM," Yoongi mumbles, looking at the time on his phone. His laptop is playing a Bubble Guppies episode but he hasn't slipped yet. It's because he can still hear his hyung cleaning up (their dinner mess).

Tonight, Suga is gonna enact Operation Midnight Snacks. But to do that, he has to wait until Jin is asleep. And it doesn't take long for an exhausted Jin to fall asleep.

So he waits ten more minutes for the telltale sounds of Jin coming upstairs and going to his room. He waits five more to go out into the hallway and open his hyung's door to see him sleeping before going back to his room.

Yoongi quietly goes into his closet and swaps his bigspace pajamas for his Sully onesie. He looks at himself in his body-length mirror, giggling as he feels himself regressing.

"Rawr!" Suga growls quietly, posing like a monster – his mouth wide and hands raised up like claws – before giggling.

As quietly as possible, Suga enters the hallway again but pauses when he hears a door open. In fear, he freezes and closes his eyes, as if "I can't see you, you can't see me" would work.

"'oonie?" A quiet voice whimpers and Suga gasps as he realizes it's TaeTae and he's crying.

"What's wong, TaeTae? Bad dweam?" Suga asks, running over to the taller little and hugging him. TaeTae sniffles as he wipes his face with the sleeve of his Eevee onesie.

"Scawy." TaeTae answers with a nod before burying his face in Suga's shoulder.

"Shhh. Ish otay. Jus dweam. Suga pwotect TaeTae, pwomise." Suga says with confidence as he hugs his friend closer.

They stay like that for a few minutes until TaeTae stops crying and realizes that it's Suga that comforting him. And Suga is rarely up and roaming around at night.

"Suga wakes? Why? Scawy dweam too?" TaeTae asks as he pulls away to wipe his eyes.

"Nu. Suga on qwest fo fuds. Wan come?" Suga tells the other little, looking at him with hopeful eyes. It may be more dangerous but Suga would like to have the extra company.

"Fud? Cookies?" TaeTae asks and Suga nods excitedly.

"An' more."

"Den yesh," TaeTae says, grinning at Suga. The littles giggle before Suga shushes TaeTae.

"Has be quiet. Don wan get caught." Suga whispers and TaeTae nods as he presses a finger to his lips, smiling. Suga grins at him before taking his friend's hand and leading him towards the stairs.

"'eaky." TaeTae mumbles, pointing towards the second stair to the top that always squeaks.

"If we go fast, it won squeak." Suga reasons and TaeTae nods in agreement.

The littles go down the stairs together as fast as they can; the noise of their footsteps drowning out the squeaks the stairs make as they go down.

"Nu squeaks." Suga whispers, grinning at his companion who grins back as he nods. Suga places a finger over his lips and TaeTae mimics it.

"Les go." The shorter little whispers as he grabs the other's hand and pulls him along to the kitchen.

"Eomma puts da cookies up der," Suga whispers, pointing to the middle cabinet over the oven, "He push dem fa' way so Suga nu get dem. TaeTae arms long so he get dem easier." Suga explains as he pulls one of the kitchen table chairs out and in front of the oven.

"TaeTae cwimb?" TaeTae asks quietly, a small grin on his face. TaeTae is known for his great climbing skills which is usually what gets him into trouble. He once climbed onto one of the table chairs just to jump on top of the table.

"TaeTae cwimb," Suga confirms with a nod and a grin of his own.

TaeTae climbs onto the chair like he's done so many times before. The little bit of moonlight filtering into the house helps him see what he's doing.

TaeTae is focused on opening the cabinet and reaching the cookies while Suga is focused on making sure the other little doesn't get hurt or drop the cookies that they don't notice someone sneaking up on them. It isn't until the lights flick on while Taehyung is pulling the jar down that the two littles realize they've been caught.

"What are you two doing?" Jungkook asks, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. The two littles look at the youngest caregiver with wide eyes but Suga's the one trying to come up with an excuse.

"Nuting," Suga says quickly before glancing up at Taehyung and holding his hands out for the jar. He's come this far and he's not going down without a reward.

"It looks like you're in the cookie jar, babies. And what should I do about that?" Jungkook asks, crossing his arms and cocking his head. TaeTae quietly climbs down from the chair and takes a cookie from the jar before holding it out towards the caregiver.

"Eats wit us?" TaeTae says quietly, grinning at the youngest caregiver. Jungkook glances down at the cookie before looking back up at TaeTae and then at Suga before grinning.

"Sure. As long as we cuddle and watch movies in Suga's room while eating." Jungkook says, taking the cookie before carefully pulling the littles into a hug, earning giggles from them.

"Otay." Suga and TaeTae answer, pressing their faces into Jungkook's chest.

"Let's go before we all get caught," Jungkook whispers, pressing a kiss to the littles' foreheads as he leads them back upstairs. But not before grabbing a couple of juices and turning the kitchen light out.
