jaemin woke up, yawning like a tiny kitten whilst he gently rubbed his eyes with the cutest pink sweater paws. he turned to his right to be greeted by a sleeping lee donghyuck.
the night before, the caregivers had a bet amongst themselves: whoever baby jaemin crawled to would get to cuddle him to sleep and of course, haechan's years of practicing the art of bribery didn't fail him.
the little strawberry angel giggled as he heard snores from the elder male, his mind associating such sounds with elephants or pigs. the little tried getting up, only for hyuck to tighten his hold on him. "nana, dear, it's too early~" haechan mutters, voice husky and all that. "b-but... paci!" nana reasons out.
with his eyes still closed, donghyuck used his free hand to feel through the bedside table for the little one's back-up pacifier. with luck, he found it, uncapped the cover and handed it to jaemin. "hwuckie, 'ank 'ou~" jaemin says, words muffled by the dummy in his mouth.
but still, their little baby didn't really go back to sleep and instead babbled softly to his pink teddy bear. "wanna go pway b-but hwuckie say nu-no." he says, pouting at the plush toy.
in his little mind, the plushie was telling him to just leave and go play. the lovely little jaeminnie knew where his toys were so what could possibly go wrong, right? jaemin's a big boy.
jaemin smiled to himself, getting up and trying his very best to gently remove haechan's hold on him. the boy tiptoed out of the room and giggled triumphantly when he made it to their living room.
that was where all his toys were, ranging from drawing materials, action figures and legos to massive rideable toy cars and plushies. he was spoilt by the dreamies, to say the least.
he comfortably sat himself down on one of his cars, using the steering wheel as a table as he begun drawing. "nana dwaw pwetty dweamies." he says to himself, his happy expression turing serious as soon as he started to scribble.
not even 10 minutes later, jaemin tossed the drawing pad away, arms crossed as he looked at his stuffed bear. "nana bowed." he mumbles before another great idea entered his brain.
he then grabbed his markers, smiling devilishly before lightly suckling on the pacifier he still held onto. "we go, peaches." the baby says, referring to his plushie which was, ironically, designed to resemble a strawberry.
his first victim was obviously his favourite: jeno! "no teww evewyone, dada nana's favouwite." he then climbed up said caregiver's bed and proceeded to straddle himself on the sleeping boy's torso.
while giggling and sucking on his paci, he begun to doodle all over jeno's face. "baby? what are you doing?" jaemin was lucky jeno didn't fully open his eyes; this gave him the opportunity to hide his markers behind his back. "wanna cuddle daddy." jaemin just says, smiling innocently before laying himself down next to jeno whose arms were already open and waiting for hugs.
god knows what happened when they all woke up and renjun, chenle and jisung busted their lungs upon seeing jeno. god knows.
