Little | Taekook

Ten

-2 days later-

"This is where I stay." Taehyung explained with a smile, confused yet worried for the little since he's been in little space for 2 days without slipping back even once. The younger remained quiet, looking around for his caregiver. He'd be here eventually.

But then,

He saw it.

"BWUNNY!"

Taehyung laughed at the little's happiness; he was jumping up and down. "Tae Tae cwan I pet it, pwease?" The little asked quickly, turning around to face the elder. "Of course! His name's Greg." Taehyung smiled, going up to Jimin's bunny and unlocking the cage.

Of course Jimin wanted his bunny at Taehyung's house while he was at work.

The younger male was obviously completely excited, but he calmed himself down into a more relaxed mood- preparing to get slapped for asking such stupid questions.

"Be careful with him." Taehyung warned as he handed the fluffy bunny to the younger, in which he happily took into his arms. "He's so tute!" The little giggled, playing with the bunny's fur. "He's Jimin's bunny." Taehyung smiled as the little played with the rabbit. "Mimin' bwunny?" The little looked up to Taehyung. "Yep. Jimin's actually coming over later today so you can meet him. Maybe he'll let you play with his bunny for a while." Taehyung explained, grabbing a treat from the side of the cage. But the little froze, and looked up to Taehyung in fear.

"What is it?" Taehyung asked, immediately seeing the fear in the younger's eyes. "He-he comin' over?" The little studdered, clutching the bunny in his hands. "Yeah. We're gonna have fun together." Taehyung smiled at him.

The little placed the bunny down on the floor, and quickly scrambled up to run for the door. "Hey- where are you going, bub?" Taehyung asked in a more normal voice, getting up quickly so the younger wouldn't run away and/or get lost. "I dwon' want to hwave fun again!" The younger cried, fumbling with the door handle and instantly swinging the door open. "Hey!" Taehyung yelled in a worried voice, running after the strange little. The little ran around to the back of Taehyung's house, and hid by the back door with his knees to his chest.

Taehyung immediately looked around his house, and found the little in his back yard.

"Hey- you can't just run away like that, bud." Taehyung told him, placing an arm around his shoulders. The younger jumped and started to cry, tensing up his entire body. "Hey, it's okay~" Taehyung told him in a soft voice, not knowing why the little was acting this way. "I-I don' w-wanna hwave f-fun wif Mimin!" The little explained, closing his legs tightly together. "Okay- he doesn't have to come over, I'm sorry. I should've asked if you were okay with that before I told him to come over. I'm sorry." Taehyung apologized. "He won't come over later, it can be just me and you, okay?" He added, pulling the little a bit closer to him.

The younger male nodded a bit, and sniffled to stop crying. He'd be a heavier burden if he didn't.

"Let's go back inside, hm?" Taehyung suggested, making sure not to disturb the younger. Jungkook hesitantly nodded his head, and removed himself from Taehyung's lap.

First time he's done that without getting hit.

Taehyung took the younger's hand, and intertwined their fingers together as he led him back inside.

"I sowwy for trynna wun away." The little apologized, staring down at the ground. "It's okay, bub- we all get scared sometimes. But can you tell me why you wanted to run?" Taehyung forgave him, and sat down in the living room with him. "I don' wan' two hwave fun." The little mumbled, kicking his feet back and forth on the couch. "...what do you mean you don't want to have fun? You were having fun with Jiminie's bunny." Taehyung was confused. "I don' wan' Tae Tae two have fun wif me." The younger mumbled, confusing Taehyung even more.

"Well, what do you want to do?" Taehyung asked, changing the subject due to his mild confusion. The younger's stomach growled, and he instantly placed his arms over his tummy to try and quiet it. "Do you want some lunch?" Taehyung asked with a smile. The little looked up at Taehyung with eyes that said yes. He was begging.

"Nwo."

"Come on, lets go have some lunch." Taehyung motioned for the little to take his hand. And he did.

Jungkook sat down at the table, looking around very catiously. The stranger went into the kitchen, listing a lot of different- and fun, things they could have for lunch. "Ooh, or we could have apples and peanut butter!" The stranger chirped happily from the kitchen, making the younger jump from the unexpected loud noise.

"No, I'm o-okay."

Taehyung poked his head out of the kitchen, and saw the younger sitting at the table with his feet flat on the floor, and hands locked together on the table.

"Oh...hi. Is it, Jungkook?" Taehyung asked, suspecting the stranger was out of little space by his position and facial expression. It was extremely awkward for some reason.

"Yeah, I-I'm not in big space often..." Jungkook told him, looking down at his hands to avoid eye-contact with the elder. "Oh- that's okay. How often are you in big space?" Taehyung questioned, awkwardly sitting down at the table across from the stranger in his house he was looking after. "U-um- I'm scared of being myself, s-so not a lot." Jungkook explained, already wanting to hide away in little space.

This was way too awkward.

"Hey, don't be scared. I promise you're safe with me, and in my house, okay?" Taehyung smiled at him, explaining he was safe before he started asking any more questions. "O-otae. Can Kwookie watch a mobie?" Jungkook asked as his body relaxed, and looked up into Taehyung's eyes with hope.

"Of course, bub."

Taehyung sighed, wondering if he'll ever get the chance to talk to the grown up Jungkook long enough to know what happened. "What movie do you want to watch?" Taehyung asked as he started to make sandwiches for the two of them. "Whad ever Tae Tae want." Jungkook told him, swinging his feet back and forth at the table. "No, what do you want to watch?" Taehyung repeated, but with a weird accent, making the little giggle cutely. "We can watch a Disney movie... a prince and princess movie-" "I wan' watch pwincess mobie!" The little interrupted Taehyung in a happy voice, giggling and squirming around out of excitement.

"Princess movie it is."
