Little Space

"Daddy, pleeeaaase?" Jimin whined. He had slipped back into his headspace a few hours before. Yoongi was spoiling him more than usual with cuddling and movies and sweets. His bedtime was slowly approaching and Jimin was trying to stay up later with Yoongi.

"No, no. I won't spoil you that much, baby. You gotta go take a bath and get ready for bed." Yoongi smiled pitifully at him.

"But, Daddyyy. Please? I'll promise to be really good and everything!" Jimin pleaded. He grabbed hold of Yoongi's sleeve, tugging lightly.

"Nuh-uh. You're not gonna convince me. Come on, time for a bath." Yoongi stood up and brought Jimin up with him.

"Then... then will Daddy sleep with me?" Jimin asked, voice small.

Yoongi smiled and kissed Jimin's forehead. "Of course. Daddy would love to."

Jimin smiled and held his hand as they went into the bathroom.

Yoongi stayed with Jimin until the younger had fallen asleep. After, he quietly slipped out of bed and went back to the couch to finish up some of his work.

A while later, Jimin padded softly into the living room, a pacifier between his lips and his hands holding his elephant.

Yoongi looked up at him, confused. "Baby?"

Jimin padded over to the couch and sat down next to Yoongi. He curled up, making himself small and staring at Yoongi's work quietly. Yoongi sighed and tousled his hair gently.

"Couldn't sleep?"

Jimin met his eyes and moved closer. Yoongi put his arm around Jimin's shoulders and kissed the top of his head. Jimin peeked up at him and his mouth quirked into a little grin.

"What is it, precious?" Yoongi pursed his lips and kept eye contact with Jimin.

Jimin shrugged. He put his arms around Yoongi. Yoongi kissed his head again, assuming Jimin was just feeling particularly clingy. The older tried to keep writing in his notebook, but Jimin whined softly and took the pen.

"What? Jimin—" Yoongi reached for it but Jimin threw it onto the floor. "Park Jimin."

"No. No more," he said behind his pacifier. Jimin pouted and shook his head.

"Jiminie, I'm working." Yoongi huffed and put the notebook down. "Don't be a brat, baby, please. It's late."

Jimin shook his head again. He took out his baby blue pacifier. "No. Daddy—" Jimin pointed at Yoongi, "—will sleep with Min."

Yoongi lifted his eyebrows. "You're demanding stuff now?"

Jimin nodded quickly. "Yes. I'm in charge now. Too tired to be big, still gotta take care of you, Daddy." Jimin stood and held out his hands. "C'mon. And grab Hope!"

Yoongi tried to protest but Jimin aggressively popped the pacifier back into his mouth, signifying that that was the end of the discussion. Jimin narrowed his eyes and shoved his hands closer to Yoongi.

Yoongi gave up with a sigh and took his hands. Jimin grinned behind his pacifier and reached out for Hope and held the elephant to his chest. Yoongi stood and began walking them to the bedroom. Jimin was happily skipping in front of him, effectively making Yoongi's chest ache with how cute he was.

When they entered the bedroom, Jimin jumped on the bed and bounced up and down a few times. He reached out and tugged on Yoongi's sleeve, silently begging him to get into bed as well. Yoongi nodded, grinning down at Jimin, and climbed into bed. Jimin cuddled up into his chest and Yoongi kissed him once more before closing his eyes.
