okay but. consider:
min yoongi at his desk in genius lab. everything’s quiet but the soft, rhythmic beat of the latest track that’s 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 can’t hear them. he only knows that they’re 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 he’s wearing tighter around him. his hands are cold but he doesn’t 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 can’t help the upward twitch of his mouth. jin’s pet, indeed. jin’s a dutiful parent to the babies, no doubt about it, making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, have enough space and toys and places to hide, but it’s yoongi who spoils them rotten. yoongi who brings them all the treats they’re not technically supposed to have (once in a while doesn’t hurt though). yoongi who snuggles them deep into his hoodies and lets them nap, warm and snug against his back, when he’s 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 there’s a chill running down his spine from the tiny claws and soft, soft, soft fur brushing the back of his neck. the glider shifts until he’s somewhere perched at the top of yoongi’s shoulder, nestled between the hood and yoongi’s neck. within moments, he’s napping again, ready to sleep the day away until its nighttime again.
yoongi smiles at the feeling. he’ll have to make sure to move that arm very, very carefully for a while.
