💖Tickle Monster!💖 || ATEEZ

This is a request by  !! Hope this is what you wanted! Writing this I was reminded of the time I was helping out at church with the kids and we kept reminding them to walk, the tile floor is slippery right? So this girl comes running up to me and another teenager, she slips and falls face first onto the TILE FLOOR! But gets up and acts like nothing happened. I ask her if she's okay and she says she's fine, but had to go wash her hands. I ask if she needs help cause she looks around five or so, she says no and walks off. No tears, no pain, and NEVER have I seen such strength 😔 no wonder she was wearing a superhero cape!

It was a bit noisy in the Ateez dorm, despite there being only three members there.

"3! 2! 1! Ready or not, here I come!" Wooyoung shouted out.

    The boy turned around and started his search. He knew where Hongjoong was hiding already, he hid in the same place every time, but searched around anyway. "Where could my little Joongie muffin be? I can't find him anywhere!" San watched from the kitchen as Wooyoung actively looked around the dorm for their little. He eventually made his way to the kitchen, already spotting the five or so boxes of cereal on the counter. "What are those doing there, Sannie?" Wooyoung asked, dramatically faking confusion. "I was gonna make cereal for lunch!" a soft giggle was heard at the amazing excuse, Joongie's bubbas is the best!

    Wooyoung shushed San, stomping his feet but gradually getting softer. He silently made his way to where the cereal cupboard was. Opening the doors fast, Wooyoung yelled out "Surprise! Found ya muffin!" the little squealing in delight as he was picked up from the cupboard and spun around. "Bubby! Put Joongie down!" San scolded playfully. Once his feet touched the floor, the little fled to the safety of his bubbas' arms, he was giggling loudly. Wooyoung and San knew exactly what that meant.

"RUN MUFFIN!" San yelled, Hongjoong squealing once more.

    Hongjoong took off, waddling quickly out of the kitchen. Wooyoung waited a bit, soon following after. "You better go! Or the tickle monster is gonna get you!" Wooyoung said, about to grab the little but... San made the ultimate sacrifice. He jumped in front of Hongjoong, Wooyoung catching and tickling him instead. "HAHAHA!- RUN JOONG- JOONGIE- RUN!" San screamed between laughing fits. Hongjoong turned around, saluting San and promptly tripping on his shoelace. His caregivers froze, waiting for a reaction. Hongjoong got up and looked at his scraped hands, tears coming to his eyes.

    Wooyoung calmly helped San up, the latter going up to the little and asking, "Are you alright?" Hongjoong nodding despite the tears. "That's my big boy! Now, come with us so we can clean those pesky scrapes!" he said, leading Wooyoung and Hongjoong back to the kitchen. While Wooyoung put their little on the table and made him laugh with funny faces, San got the first aid kit from under the sink. "Alright, muffin! This is gonna sting a little, can you be a big boy for bubbas and bubby?" Hongjoong nodded harshly, wiping away his tears that had yet to fall.

    As San cleaned the scrapes on Hongjoong's hands, Wooyoung kept the boy distracted. They talked about anything and everything. Before Hongjoong knew it, San was done.

    After he was done, San put away the kit, and turned to Hongjoong with his favorite band aids in hand. They had pastel rainbows and tiny white hearts on them. "Thank you bubbas! Thank you bubby!" Hongjoong said once the band aids were on. San and Wooyoung both said, "You're welcome, our little muffin!" and helped him off the table. "We can watch my show please?" the little asked sweetly, both caregivers knowing what show he wanted. "Sure! Why not? You've been such a big boy for us, you can have a price of candy too!" because rewarding good behavior never hurt anybody.

    Around two episodes in, the other members came home exhausted. Hearing Hongjoong singing along to the familiar tune of "Adventure Time", they knew he was little. Each member said hello to the little as they passed by, messing up his hair or patting his shoulder, either going to shower or waiting in their rooms. Hongjoong didn't mind they couldn't spend time with him right now, he was content to have his two caregivers. "Joongie, muffin, it's almost bedtime." Wooyoung told, looking at the time on his phone. "Okay, but I please finish this episode?" San checked the time left, about ten minutes, and they agreed. "Thank you!" he said.

    By the end of the episode, Hongjoong was yawning up a storm. "Alright muffin, time for bed!" San said as Wooyoung picked up the sleepy little. Wooyoung walked to his and San's shared room, still carrying their little but setting him on the bed once in the room. San went to get a pair of the littles pajamas. "I has a story please?" Wooyoung smiled softly. "Let's get you into your pajamas, then I'll tell you a story." Hongjoong smiled, waiting patiently. San came back in and helped an almost asleep hongjoong into his pajamas. "Thank you bubbas!" he muttered sleepily. As San and Wooyoung changed and got into the bed, the latter started his story. "Once upon a time, there was a prince named Muffin. He was the bravest prince in all of the lands! Any time he got hurt, he got right back up!" Wooyoung spoke softly, quietly, lulling Hongjoong to sleep. "Did he have friends?" Hongjoong asked, causing his caregivers to smile. "Yes, he had his whole kingdom as friends! And all the love in the world!" Wooyoung would've continued, but Hongjoong was fast asleep. "And two people who love him to the moon, to the stars and infinitely more." San finished, the two caregivers laying down as well.

They fell asleep.
