The Dusk Gallery | Taehyung x BTS

Cautious

Another week and a half had passed. No sex. Taehyung's anxiety was too great. He was loving being here, he loved being with his kids, loved being with Jin and he was too scared to lose all of it.

Of course it was a catch 22, because this caused even more anxiety when it came to Jin. He didn't want to make it seem like he didn't want to sleep with him. It was hard. But he could have sworn Jin was becoming a little different. A little quieter.

Today they were going to the park with the boys. Hyejun was in the stroller, facing Taehyung as he pushed it, and Minho was running ahead of them, along the path that would soon lead them to the park.

"Daddy did you bring my truck!" Minho calls out, still running ahead, and not bothering to even look at back at Taehyung.

"It's in the stroller!" Taehyung calls out, making sure that the toy was beneath for sure.

"Minho-ya! Not too far, I need to see you!" Jin yells out to his son, hands stuffed into his pockets from the slight cold air that surrounded them. It was a colder spring day today.

It doesn't take too long to get to the park, but most of the walk is spent in silence apart from Minho who would call out to the pair of them.

Once they get there, Jin and Taehyung sit themselves down on one of the benches, and with the stroller right by them. Hyejun was still happily, and quietly sitting in it. Minho on the other hand went straight to the slide. He was content playing on his own. And knowing him, by the end of their time at the park, he will have made a friend or two. He was very social. Exactly like Jin.

"We should have put a thicker coat on Junie" Jin hums out, he spread his legs a little and then rests his arms on them, so that he's a little hunched over as his eyes remained glued to Minho. Making sure he was safe.

"He's fine. He looks content" Taehyung tells him. Could he sense a bit of awkwardness in the air between them?

"He's going to get cold"

"Nah he's tough" Taehyung adds, looking over to the baby who was still happily looking around the surroundings.

"Don't blame me when he starts crying and you can't figure out why".

"Uh, okay?"

Definitely awkwardness.

"Appa" Minho has come running to the pair, out of breath, with his jacket undone.

"Yeah?" Jin asks, immediately zipping it back up.

"Can I have my truck? Kyunghwan wants to see it".

"Who's Kyunghwan?" Jin asks as he reaches over for the truck from underneath the stroller.

"A friend I made. Look he's just over there". And as they follow Minho's pointing finger, of course they do find a kid about his age waiting by the slide.

A true social butterfly. Once Minho had the toy, he ran back as eagerly as he could.

Both husbands let out deep breaths but stay silent otherwise. That is until Hyejun starts making fussy noises, no longer willing to sit down and be quiet.

Taehyung picks him up, and places him to sit rest on his thigh, against his chest.

"Told you" he hears Jin say quietly. Okay this was starting to piss him off.

"He's wearing thick layers, he isn't cold". Taehyung points out, trying to bounce Hyejun to see if it would help but of course it didn't.

"Give him here" Jin sighs out, extending his arms out so that Taehyung can do just that. Taehyung hesitates, but he can't deny his husband his kid. If he was so convinced he was cold, what was he going to do about it?
