you laugh quietly, stretching your arms above your head. "yeah, right."

"dont lie," he says, lifting his head just enough to squint at you. "i know you like waking up next to me. admit it."

"fine," you mutter, poking his chest. "i like it. happy?"

"hm," he hums, eyes narrowing playfully. "not enough."

before you can ask what he means, he grabs your hand and drags it up to press against his chest. "look, now you're officially helping me wake up," he says, wiggles his fingers against yours. "i'll count this as moral support."

you laugh, leaning into him, hair brushing his cheek. "moral support for what exactly?"

"for surviving me," he says, voice low, teasing, and then suddenly his lips are on your temple, soft and lingering just enough to make your stomach flip. "and maybe for cuddles," he murmurs against your skin.

you wiggle under him, trying to act annoyed but failing miserably. "you're ridiculous," you whisper.

"i know," he says, smiling against your shoulder. "and you love it."

you roll your eyes, but your lips twitch into a grin. he snickers and drapes an arm fully over your shoulders, tugging you impossibly close. "see? told you," he says, fingers brushing along your side, thumbs just barely grazing your ribs.

you giggle, squirming a little. "stop touching me," you tease, though your hands are already in his hair, tugging lightly.

he hums, pressing a lazy kiss to the top of your head. "nope," he says. "i'm awake now. and you're too cute to ignore."

you lean up, pretending to be annoyed, and flick his nose. "cute, huh?"

"cute," he repeats, voice low and playful. then he grins. "but also mine. you forgot that part."

"yours?" you echo, mock shock in your voice, pulling the blankets over your head.

"yeah," he says, tugging the blanket down with one hand, exposing your shoulder, and leans in to press his lips there again. "definitely mine. don't argue."

you laugh, tugging at his hair, poking him in the ribs. "stop being ridiculous."

"can't," he says, voice soft, warm, teasing. "i'm too good at this. you love it."

you sigh, collapsing against him, just giving in. he wraps both arms around you, face buried in your hair, and the two of you lie there, lazy and warm, exchanging small kisses, soft whispers, playful nudges, and quiet laughter that fills the apartment.

he drags a finger across your ribs, just enough to make you squirm. "admit it," he murmurs, "you like me messing with you like this."

"maybe i do," you whisper, nuzzling into him, "but you're still annoying."

"good," he says, voice muffled against your neck. "then i'm doing it right."

you hum, letting your hands trace along his back. he lets out a content sigh, pulling you in. "stay," he murmurs. "just… stay."

you grin, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "i'm not going anywhere."

and for the next hour, you stay there, tangled up together, playing little games under the blankets, tickling, stealing kisses, whispering nonsense, laughing quietly, and existing in the kind of perfect, lazy, messy, playful morning that doesn't need anything else.

sniffed out your regression like a HOUND DOG

anytime you'd almost slip in front of him he'd make this cute suspicious squinty face at you 

until one time he literally caught you in the act, snuggling your teddy he'd gifted you with your thumb in your mouth, suckling away without a care in the world

despite the fact that he desperately wants to go “HA I KNEW IT,” he doesn't want to scare the baby 🫳🫳

so he just brings you the softest blanket he can find, tucking you into it with a hush when you make a confused little noise at his unexpected presence :(

once you've slipped out he brings it up again, asking if you're a regressor straight up

his knowledge of it catches you off guard, but he tells you he has an old idol friend who'd regress sometimes during his trainee days

when you say yes he actually asks if you'd like having a caregiver, and if you'd be okay with him taking care of you 🥺 

and you say yes OBVIOUSLY

♡

really likes being called jjongie or “mister bear”

mostly cuz you sound so cute and teensy when you call him that :C

and also it's an instant way to get what you want 🙂‍↕️

“mister bear can we have snack time?” ✅ 

“mister bear can I have apple juice?” ✅ 

works every time

every once in a while, if you're extra sleepy or stressed, you'll call him papa :c

and he will literally turn the world upside down for you when you call him that

♡

he really likes watching you sleep???

it's like his favorite hobby乁⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠o⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠ㄏ

rocks you to sleep allll the time 

he'll bundle you up in a lil baby burrito and rock you side to side, humming lullabies as he watches your little eyes slip closed :C

and then he'll continue to rock you while he watches over your nap

he calls it being a “naptime guardian” but you just think he's weird :D

you will riot if he leaves you during naptime though, of course

♡

poking the bear is real btw, you poke jongho all the time :D

especially his cheeks I mean they're Right There c'mon 

what are baby hands for if not to annoy your caregiver?? 💞

but now he's taken it upon himself to poke and squish your cheeks at every opportunity, bonus points if you're eating

and when you pout at him for interrupting your lunch he'll just smile his gummy smile and do it again 

“all is fair in love and war, sugar~”  ⁠◜⁠(ω)⁠◝⁠ 

♡

as jongho’s baby you will eat an unimaginable amount of apples

and other fruits too of course but like, apples are where it's at 🙂‍↕️

scurvy? jongho's never heard of it

shows off at snack time by breaking your apples in half 

and you're just falling over with giggles at his little trick

“wow!! Jjongie do again!”

there's enough apples to feed the whole group by the time he's through 💔 

♡

very big fan of terms of endearment

he doesn't go a single sentence without calling you a cute lil nickname fr

his favorites are little one, cub, sugar, jellybean, and bubbas

jellybean is reserved for silly cubs! usually when you have the zoomies and you're sprinting around the kitchen

“ok jellybean, let's go outside and get our sillies out~”

and when you're especially sleepy or teeny he always calls you his honeybear 🥺 

“coooome on, honeybear. it's sleepytime, hm?”

♡

he's very soft when talking to his baby, especially if they're upset :<

he understands that feelings can be big and scary, and while all he wants is to take away those icky feelings, he knows that's not always possible :<

so he makes sure you're safe and comfy, always willing to hold you while you fuss and cry

and when you're all tuckered out he'll tuck you in a blanket and let you relax on the couch with your head in his lap, putting something soothing on the tv to help you relax after a hard day 🫂 

♡

now we all know how much jjongie loves noraebang

safe to say he will be incorporating that into your baby routine 

he'll sing to you, any genre ranging from baby shark to a power ballad that you've never even heard before 💔

and when it's your turn he claps and cheers for you while you sing 

he will definitely ask for fanservice and demand hand hearts and hugs

and if you're too shy to sing alone he'll sit you in his lap to sing a duet with you :(

not competitive against you, but you can bet that he's doing his absolute darndest to get that 100 score on every song lollll

♡

all in all jjongie is a teensy bit mischievous as a caregiver, but he’s total marshmallow fluff too 💞

you can trust him with anything, and know that he’ll always be there for you, his little cub :( 

mister bear is the bestest  🧸🤍
