You And Me + Baby - TaeGi

chapter four

Note: honestly speaking, I forgot how old babies are before they speak coherently. I don't wanna look it up, so Jeongguk's gonna be speaking at one since he's a show off.

...

Yoongi awakens to the feeling of something pulling at his face. Grimacing, he opens his eyes with a groan. The first thing he sees is Jeongguk's face a few inches from his. A big smile takes over the baby's face before Jeongguk's hitting him on the head, "Da' up! Get up!"

"Ow! Hey, calm down; I'm up!" He picks the kid up and squeezes him close to his chest, "what are you doing up so early, you little monster?" Yoongi tickles his sides.

Giggling, Jeongguk tries to squirm away from him. Taking pity on his baby, he finally stops his tickling assault. While he's catching his breath, a bigger smile takes of the little one's face, "party!"

"For someone who puts random things in their mouth, you sure are smart. I can't believe you remember your birthday. Back when I was your age, the only thing on my mind was probably food. Then again, I was one, so I can't tell you for sure." Jeongguk blankly stares at him, "right, you're one. You probably don't even know what I'm talking about." Yoongi tickles him, and he's able to see his favorite thing in the world: Jeongguk's smile.

A few hours later, Jeongguk and Yoongi head out of the house. Jeongguk is strapped in stroller and bursting with energy, "before we go to Jin's, we're gonna pick up Taehyung; I doubt he knows where they live. If he did, I'd be very concerned."

"I'm not a stalker if that's what you're trying to imply!"

Yoongi jumps and thanks the stars that he wasn't holding Jeongguk because he would have dropped him, and he would've killed someone.

"Don't do that! What are you even doing here anyway, you ghost? We were going to pick you up."

"I didn't know what time we were supposed to meet up, so I came here hoping that you didn't leave me."

"We would never leave you, right Jeongguk?" Jeongguk nods at him, and Taehyung coos at the baby. He's just as cute as his father.

"Awe, thank you! And happy birthday, baby." He gives Jeongguk a bag that Yoongi failed to notice.

"I've always wondered why we even do this when he's not going to remember?"

"I don't know; it's the thought th- Jeongguk, don't put that in your mouth!"

Yoongi laughs at him, and Taehyung pauses  because that's the most beautiful laugh he's ever heard, and he wants to engrave it in his mind forever.

"Alright," he grabs the bag, "let's head out."

...

"So you're Taehyung? We've heard so much about you!" Instead of giving him a handshake, Jimin pulls him in to a hug, "this is my boyfriend, Seokjin - Jin for short."

Taehyung smiles at them, "it's nice to meet you! I've heard many things about you." He thinks back to all the times Yoongi's either threatened to kill them or been constantly worried about them.

"All good things I hope."

"I guess you could say that."

They get to know each other as Yoongi follows Jeongguk around so he doesn't hurt himself. Call him overprotective all you want, but he refuses to let his baby bun get hurt on his watch.

It's when Yoongi laughs loudly that Taehyung finally tears his attention away from the couple. Jeongguk's face is soaking wet and he looks so confused. It's when Tae sees the water bottle squeezed tightly in his tiny hands, he puts two and two together. He smiles fondly at the scene. Why do Yoongi and Jeongguk have to be so adorable when they do the bare minimum? It's not fair!

He gets so caught up in staring at Yoongi that he barely hears someone clearing their throat. Turning back, he blushes when he sees Jin and Jimin staring at him expectantly at him.

"Let's cut right to the chase: do you like Yoongi?" Seokjin asks.

The question catches him off guard, but he nods nonetheless.

"Okay, now that that's out in the open just know that if you ever, and I mean ever, hurt Yoongi, I will personally track you down and destroy you piece by piece until there is nothing left. Got it?" Jimin says cheerfully as if he didn't just promise to kill the man.

"Yes, sir! I understand."

Jin laughs at the traumatized guy and wraps an arm around his boyfriend. "Calm down. We both know that if Taehyung ever hurt Yoongi, he would be the one to destroy him."

Taehyung gulps. He doesn't know what he's gotten himself involved in. "I would never hurt Yoongi. If anything, I just want to protect him from the dangers of the world and keep him all to myself."

Jin cringes while Jimin gushes, "you're so whipped for him already! How cute! Why don't you ever say things like this about me?" Jimin pouts.

"I'm not a poet."

While those two bicker, Taehyung sneaks away to see what Yoongi and Jeongguk are up to. Jeongguk is the first to see as a big smile takes over his face. He grabs a hold of Yoongi's pant leg and bounces on his feet, a mantra of "Dae!" being repeated.

Taehyung's heart clenches. He's always found it adorable how Jeongguk pronounced his name.

"Hey, baby," he swoops down to pick up the little one, who squeals excitedly, "how are you doing? Are you having fun?!" Jeongguk flails he chubby, little arms, and Taehyung can't resist planting kisses on his equally chubby cheeks.

He catches Yoongi watching and gives him a smile, too, chuckling when he sees him look away with a blush on his cheeks.

"I know this isn't news to you, but he seems to really like you."

"I just have that effect on people."

"Don't get too cocky. I'm still not at that stage."

"Maybe this date will give you the push you need to really like me." Taehyung winks at him for good measure, a smirk adorning his lips.

Instead of turning into a flustered mess like he hopes, Yoongi just smiles softly at him, "maybe."

It's Taehyung that gets flustered.

He really wishes he could speed up time.

...

I should write a chapter dedicated to JinMin. Too lazy for that, though.
