Can you make a Namjoon version of the pregnancy yoongi headcannon please?
💌 Reply:
Ahhh, thank you for this request! 🥹 Translating Yoongi’s blueprint into Namjoon’s universe was such a joy... and kinda healing to write tbh. If it’s too abstract, blame Joon... you know he’d turn parenthood into a TED Talk on existential botany. Hope this hits right for you, and that the brainrot is mutual (?) Let me know if you need tweaks! 💜 – c –
Kim Namjoon (RM) Pregnancy Headcanons x Reader
Warning: added a short mention of complication/ loss during pregnancy; brief mention of emotional vulnerability/complex feelings
🗿 How He Finds Out
you take the test alone first
needing quiet to process the enormity
the second line appears, you pace the bedroom
fingers brushing over his poetry books, his half-finished clay vase on the shelf...
Namjoon knocks softly after 15 minutes
"Love? You okay? You missed the Monstera’s watering time."
tries to jiggle the stuck door handle (his DIY fix last week)
fumbles with a paperclip
muttering
"Why do I always overtighten things…"
finally nudges the door open
finds you holding the test against your chest
glasses slide down his nose
he freezes
first words whispered like a haiku
"Are we... growing a universe?"
voice tender/ steady
=the way he reads letters at fan events
kneels carefully
avoiding the creaky floorboard
cradles your wrists
test between your joined hands
presses his lips to your temple
"However this goes... we’ll learn from it together."
