okay but. consider:
min yoongi at his desk in genius lab. everythingβs quiet but the soft, rhythmic beat of the latest track thatβs been toying at the edge of his mind. fingers tapping against the desk, a counter beat to compliment the instrumentals playing. outside, jungkook and hoseok and jimin are being rambunctious, yelling and tumbling over each other as they try to focus on new choreo, but yoongi canβt hear them. he only knows that theyβre there, outside, making a racket.
inside is quiet, calm, still but for the tap of his fingers, the bounce of his knee. the air conditioner kicks on to a faint hum, and yoongi stops tapping, stops dreaming about the most fitting genre to go with this beat, and tugs the thick hoodie heβs wearing tighter around him. his hands are cold but he doesnβt dare tuck them in the pocket, so he warms them up by reaching for his notebook to scrawl out a few phrases that keep turning over and over in his head.
the movement earns the tiniest squeak from the little runt weighing down his hood. yoongi feels the glider shift, can sense the minuscule claws tugging at the inside of the hood, and canβt help the upward twitch of his mouth. jinβs pet, indeed. jinβs a dutiful parent to the babies, no doubt about it, making sure theyβre fed, have fresh water, have enough space and toys and places to hide, but itβs yoongi who spoils them rotten. yoongi who brings them all the treats theyβre not technicallyΒ supposed to have (once in a while doesnβt hurt though). yoongi who snuggles them deep into his hoodies and lets them nap, warm and snug against his back, when heβs in the studio.
the baby shifts again, squeaking louder and more assured, and yoongi feels the movement upward, up and up and up, little by little. until thereβs a chill running down his spine from the tiny claws and soft, soft, softΒ fur brushing the back of his neck. the glider shifts until heβs somewhere perched at the top of yoongiβs shoulder, nestled between the hood and yoongiβs neck. within moments, heβs napping again, ready to sleep the day away until its nighttime again.
yoongi smiles at the feeling. heβll have to make sure to move that arm very, very carefully for a while.
