Hello hello hellooo i hope your lunch is going well!!!♡♡♡♡
I always love your headcanons and all your works so much and today i was thinking of daddy! Chan's little one that loves to go to daddy whenever anything happens because daddy should know about everyyythinggg
Like even if they can perfectly handle the situation they still like to tell him about it, spilling water on their clothes mistakenly and changing on their own easily but still telling daddy because he needs to know you are a big girl/ boy too and deserve praises for it!!
And maybe how daddy! Chan sulks when his little one stops telling him about their day or lessens it due to one or the other reason so his very strong caregiver headspace makes sure his little love is feeling all loved and protected and coaxes them lovingly and gently out of whatever bothers them, even if its something daddy did and all's good ♡♡
Haha sorry for making this too long!! Hope it won't be a bother
Xoxo 💌💌
This was amazing duckie!!
It will never be a bother!
This idea is so cute!
When you are in person you practically RUN to his office to tell him.
"Daddy! I spilled my juice"
"Oh no sweetie, where---"
"BUT I CLEANED IT ALL UP!"
"You did?!?! Well I think that calls for some cuddles!"
If he is at work, you are blowing up his phone
-To: Daddy 🐺
'Guess what happened today?'
-From: Daddy 🐺
'What happened little cub?'
-To: Daddy 🐺
'I was cleaning up my toys, and I slipped and I fell and I hurt my knee'
-From: Daddy 🐺
'My poor little one! Daddy was so sorry he wasn't home to help you. How is you knee baby?'
-To: Daddy 🐺
'It Otay. It hurt bad at first but I was a big kid and kept going!'
From: Daddy 🐺
'Just like daddy taught you, good job cubbie! Daddy is sending kisses through the phone. He will pick you up something extra special for being so brave'
But then the lessons and reminders just stopped...
Chan had no clue why. He would come into the bedroom and you would be in an entirely new outfit. Once questioned you explained you had spilled some water on yourself. He never had to ask...you always told him
We're you not needing your daddy anymore? Did you mean it when you said you were a big kid now? Did he lose his baby?
Chan's caregiver headspace went crazy. He knew it was probably overwhelming but he needed to prove that he was still useful. He cleaned up after you, changed you, cooked for you, and so much more. You couldn't even put a sock on without him stopping to do it for you.
Then came the questions. Every second of every day Chan was asking you questions. What did you do today? Did anything happen? Are you okay? Are you sure your okay? Are you sure you are sure you are okay?
Finally it became all too much! You knew daddy liked communication so you did just that.
"Daddy, can we talk?"
His heart raced and he couldn't read your expression.
"Always cubbie, what is on your mind little one?"
"Why is daddy weird?"
Okay he had to laugh at that
"What do you mean, baby?"
"Daddy is doing everything! And asking questions! Am I bad? Can I not be...umm what's the word...do you not think I can do it?"
And then his racing heart broke
"No no no! Baby that's not it. Daddy trusts you so much! He always believes in you. Daddy noticed his baby wasn't coming to him anymore and he didn't want to lose his little one. Daddy was being selfish honey. Do you know what that means?"
"Daddy isn't shell fish. I don't want to bother daddy..."
"Why would you think you were bothering me little one?"
"Becuz I hear you talk with uncle Han bout how you keep getting dis..dis..bothered when writing"
"Oh love, that was never you. It would never be you. Your uncles keep distracting daddy. You are never a distraction"
Chan had expected that Minho may feel embarrassed by the fact that he had shown his vulnerable side last night. However, what he didn’t expect was to be avoided by Minho completely, and not only towards himself, but the other members as well. Despite being a bit hurt by this, Chan at least knew why Minho was behaving this way. His boyfriends on the other hand, had no knowledge of last night’s events and only grew increasingly worried since Minho had seemed visibly stressed and exhausted the past month. Chan didn’t want to overstep and possibly make Minho uncomfortable so he figured he would wait it out until after comeback preparations ended to talk to him.
“Hyung?” Chan snapped out of his thoughts when he realized he had been spaced out, Felix was looking down at him with a concerned glance. “You okay Channie?”
Chan quickly stood up, wiping sweat off his brow and planting a quick kiss on his boyfriend’s cheek before saying, “Yeah! Just resting, the choreo is pretty intense huh?”
Felix blushed at the show of affection before nodding, deciding he wanted a soda from the vending machine around the corner of their dance practice room. After inviting Chan who agreed happily, they went on their way, leaving the rest of their members to finish up their break before continuing to practice.
Meanwhile, Minho had also been alone in his thoughts, overthinking every interaction his little self had with Chan. How could he allow himself to slip in his boyfriend’s presence? Had he already told everyone? Did all his boyfriends hate him? Would he be kicked out? He needed to stop regressing, for good. He needed to avoid them, to not be more of a burden, not wanting to see their disgusted faces. These thoughts had been on a constant loop since he woke up and Minho was set on avoiding his seven boyfriends in any context besides work and only focusing on the comeback.
A few hours later, Minho was attempting to suppress his feelings while also trying to guide the rest of the members through the choreo, but his stress was bringing his patience to an all time low.
“Hyunjin! Can’t you hear me counting? Why can’t you turn on beat?” Minho shouted over the loud music booming from the speaker, locking eyes with the younger.
“I’m sorry hyung.. I was really trying I swear!” Hyunjin’s eyes widened under Minho’s intense gaze, trying his best to convey he was being honest.
Minho scoffed at this, causing Chan to look over at Hyunjin sympathetically, patting his back and only receiving a forced small smile in return. Their youngest boyfriend however, was very protective of Hyunjin and wasn’t having Minho’s attitude.
“Why are you yelling at him like that? You know we’re all tired Minho hyung, this isn’t just about you!” Jeongin was fuming, and everyone could feel the tension in the air due to the volume and tone of his voice.
“Shut up Jeongin. You need the most practice out of all of us.” Minho wasn’t shouting anymore, but his cold way of speaking, while also managing to point out one of Jeongin’s deepest insecurities caused his lip to tremble.
After a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, Jeongin’s mouth gaped at Minho’s response, feeling like he had just been slapped and trying to reply. Despite their previous arguments that occurred during practice, Minho had never brought any of the member’s talents or abilities into it. Trying his best to blink away the tears welling up in his eyes, he ran out of the practice room as quickly as possible.
“I’ll follow him.” Hyunjin quickly said, racing after the maknae and nearly slamming the door closed due to the force used.
Minho was looking down at his feet, on the verge of tears himself, knowing he fucked up very badly. His boyfriends were definitely going to leave him now. He couldn’t control himself to the point he had insulted his youngest boyfriend with words he didn’t even mean. He felt ashamed.
“Practice is over, everyone go home besides Minho.” Chan firmly stated before everyone besides the two of them shuffled out of the room as fast as they could.
Before Minho could speak, Chan shook his head, saying, “Minho, you seriously need to get your act together, just because you’re stressed doesn’t mean you can take it out on us, do you realize how immature that is? You’re the second oldest, so start acting like it.”
Unable to look Chan in the eye, he could only see in his peripherals the movement of Chan’s feet and eventually, he heard the sound of the door closing. Releasing a breath he didn’t realize he had been holding, Minho collapsed to the ground. His hands were shaking, he felt so overwhelmed, and painful sobs that he attempted to muffle with his sleeve escaped him. Trying to regain his composure, Minho gathered his belongings and shoved them in his backpack before exiting the building. It was freezing cold outside and Minho wasn’t properly dressed for the weather, but he felt as if he deserved it. Instead of calling for a car to pick him up, he chose to walk home, not caring about any sort of consequence.
He felt so embarrassed by his actions from earlier, and Chan’s words bounced around in his head. “You’re the second oldest, so start acting like it” in particular was practically screaming at him. He needed to stop acting like a child and get it together. Chan was obviously faking it when he took care of him and only acted like he was okay with it.
Having felt his phone buzzing, Minho reached for his pocket to view his lockscreen. He noticed a missed call notification from the leader and two unopened messages from Jisung on kakaotalk, which, upon seeing that, made his heart sink. He didn’t even want to know what Jisung had said. he could not handle that coming from his Sungie.
Sungie? Minho cursed under his breath after having thought of Jisung’s nickname, one he only used in his thoughts when he was on the verge of slipping, and that was not happening ever again. It just couldn’t. Turning off his ringer, Minho shivered the rest of the walk home.
By the time he arrived, he could hear laughing echoing throughout the halls of the dorm. His stomach twisted at the thought of that laughter possibly being about him. No, it was definitely about him. They were making fun of him, they didn’t want anything to do with him. He was just a baby, a stupid, useless baby who couldn’t act his age, who couldn’t-
“Minho? Jesus christ you’re freezing, did you walk all the way here?”
Blinking to try and rid his eyesight of its blurry haze, Minho realized that Jisung was standing before him in the entrance of the dorm. Behind Jisung were his other six boyfriends, cuddled together with blankets and popcorn, cups of hot cocoa placed on coasters resting on the table in front of them. He could make out the light from the tv, and music from the movie frozen coming from the speakers. Since he hadn’t moved or said a word, they all stopped, Seungmin reaching over to pause the movie before everyone just stared at him. For some reason, Jeongin stood up and began walking over to Minho.
To him, that meant everything was over. He completely panicked.
Lunging forward towards Jeongin, Minho wrapped his arms around him tightly before breaking down crying. Jeongin, despite being very confused and still a bit mad at his hyung, returned the hug, considering Minho rarely initiated affection nor cried. After feeling the chilly temperature of Minho’s jacket Jeongin pulled back a bit to look at his face. He was met with a distraught, anxiety riddled version of his boyfriend, heart breaking after noting tear stains on his cheeks, a red nose, and slightly blue lips.
“Baby? You need to warm up, I’m worried about you, we all are.”
Minho softly whimpered, causing everyone to grow even more concerned (if that was possible at this point), Chan rushed over immediately having recognized that sound. It was the same gentle noise Minho made last night rather than talking when he was upset and in pain.
Realizing the sound he’d made, Minho panicked again, tears still spilling over as he wailed “Min sorry Innie!".
Jeongin was definitely confused now, everyone besides Chan was. There wasn’t time for questions, as it was obvious that Minho was in a vulnerable state and needed their support so everyone was ready to help.
Chan began removing Minho’s jacket, it was soaked with remnants of snow and he needed minho to get warm. Jeongin sprung into action as well, guiding Minho to the couch. Changbin and Hyunjin got up to go make tea, Felix to go run a bath, and Jisung to get a blanket while Seungmin made room on the couch. Jeongin got Minho situated in his lap when he sat down, Chan kneeled to take off Minho’s shoes and socks. Jisung returned with the blanket, wrapping up Minho while Jeongin shushed his cries and gently rocked him back and forth.
“Aw look at you, you’re so cute sweetheart.” Jisung cooed, kissing Minho’s forehead who began giggling in response, but suddenly stopped and whimpered.
“What’s wrong? Does something hurt angel?” Jisung gently reached for Minho’s hand, noting that the boy was still shivering. “Still cold?”
Minho looked up at Jisung with glossy eyes, nodding slowly and then snuggling into jeogin’s chest to try and get warm. Jisung went to go get a sweater and socks for Minho, hoping that would help. Jeongin looked up at Chan, seemingly for an explanation.
Chan knew there was no point in lying or hiding this, and as he was thinking of a way to explain, everyone had returned to the room and sat down, joining in with Jeongin to look up at him questioningly.
Sighing, Chan questioned “Okay I know everyone is really confused right?” Six heads nodded. “well…” glancing at minho, Chan realized it wouldn’t be right to just say everything about last night’s events without Minho’s consent, so he walked over and kneeled down to look at him.
Minho moved his head to look at Chan, tilting his head cutely. Chan smiled to try and reassure him, figuring he must be very overwhelmed right now.
“Hey Min, I know there’s a lot happening, must be scary hm? Do you think you could be a brave boy and let hyung explain what’s going on, why you’re tiny?” Minho shyly babbled in response, which Chan somehow understood as a yes. “Good boy baby!” Chan ruffled Minho’s hair, and Minho finally genuinely giggled without any interruptions from pain or anxiety.
Moving to the center of the living room, Chan began, “So we all know Minho’s been really stressed lately, and struggling with headaches a lot… well last night I heard crying and found him on the floor with some cuts and bruises, of course I could see that it hurt and was shocking, but I was confused about why he was wailing so loudly, since that’s not how Minho hyung is you know? After comforting him, I realized he wasn’t acting like himself. He wasn’t speaking in full sentences, his voice was higher pitched, and in general it was really obvious to me that this wasn’t a joke. I didn’t know exactly what to do, but I ended up taking care of him and he was so adorable, he fell asleep in my bed while I started to research. I’m pretty sure Minho is a little, have you guys heard of it?”
Felix perked up instantly, “Wait yeah, isn’t that when you’re in a younger headspace?”
Despite Felix asking a genuine question to try and understand, Minho’s little brain picked up on a few of the words and felt like Felix was judging him. Starting to cry and breathe heavily, he forced himself to be a bit older before breaking down again, “Min sorry! Min bad boy! Hyungies hate Min!”
Everyone instantly tried to reassure Minho, Felix going over to him directly since he realized Minho may have misunderstood. “Honey I’m not mad at you, we don’t hate you, how could we ever hate our precious Min? Don’t be sorry baby, can hyung give you a hug?” Minho sniffled before nodding.
Hyunjin piped up, “Yeah Minho we’re not upset by it at all, it’s adorable!”
The others verbally agreed with both Felix and Hyunjin.
“B-but Channie hyung no wan… Min not ‘pose to be baby… Min try to be big…” Minho whimpered sadly, thinking his hyung truly hated him.
Piecing everything together, Chan remembered what he had told Minho this morning while scolding him, internally cursing at himself for his choice of words. He should have known that discussing age after Minho had been so vulnerable around him wasn’t okay, no matter what Minho had done he didn’t deserve that at all. “Oh Min, Channie hyung is so sorry for what he said earlier, he was being a big meanie. Of course my baby can always come to hyung okay?” Minho made grabby hands at Chan who cooed at him and picked him up from Jeongin, who looked lost in his thoughts.
“I should have known something was wrong with how he snapped at Hyunjin. It really isn’t like him to get angry, yeah he jokes around but...” Jeongin muttered to himself.
Having heard his hyung talk, Minho whipped his head towards Jeongin in a panic, “Min sorry! Innie no cry again!”
“I know sweetheart, you haven’t been feeling well at all lately and you just couldn’t handle the stress could you? Innie isn’t mad okay? Innie forgives you.”
Minho felt relieved, burying his head into Chan’s chest. His boyfriends couldn’t help but awe at his cute mannerisms, they instantly knew that they would learn as much as possible about Minho’s littlespace to care for him properly if he’d let them. The seven of them knew that Minho would apologize again when he was out of headspace, despite his cold demeanor he was very kind, never wanting to upset his boyfriends and self aware of when he’s in the wrong. In hindsight, Minho not acting like that should have been a red flag to all of them, but they decided they could have an adult talk later, right now Minho needed all their attention and care.
Finally letting himself slip younger again, Minho physically relaxed in Chan’s arms before feeling his eyes flutter closed, he was so sleepy and his hyung was so warm and gentle. Chan noticed this, shushing everyone before letting them know he would give Minho a quick bath then get him ready for bed.
Having felt so floaty, Minho didn’t notice that Jisung trailed behind the two of them. He was deep in babyspace now, mostly non verbal besides the occasional whine or confused babble. All he could process was his hyungs undressing him, placing him in the warm water, washing his body and hair, then drying him off. Jisung couldn’t resist blowing raspberries on Minho’s adorable tummy, his giggles were so precious and after realizing just how much he had been dealing with all he wanted to do was make his boyfriend laugh. Minho could barely stay conscious, the soft massage from getting his hair shampooed made him slump over in Chan’s arms as he was put in his favorite tiger pajamas. Chan put Minho down on the bed, wrapping him up in his blankets and making sure his kitten plushie was beside him before exiting the room.
Minho felt a weight on his bed then arms wrapped around him. Instantly recognizing it as his Sungie’s presence, he hummed contently and got as close as possibly to his hyung.
“Hyung’s here Minnie, don’t worry about a thing. Sleep well baby.” Jisung whispered before kissing the top of his head. He could have sworn he heard Minho say “love da” before slipping his thumb between his lips and going quiet, but he decided that could be talked about later too.
Minho fell into a deep slumber with a soft smile on his face.
To start off I think Chan would be a parental caregiver
Chan I feel like would probably love doing like very soft scary movies with you like Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, and Corpse Bride
Would buy like those onesies at Walmart that are cartoon characters for you that like Jack the Skeleton and other cartoon characters
If you use pacis when you’re regressed he has bought more than one that is themed around Halloween, Candy, and Bats
Chan definitely helps you decorate the house with Christmas lights and keeps them up all year round
Pillow fort maker!! And blanket fort marker here you can always count to come home from a long hard day and see him making a fort for you both to watch movies in
He has a playroom for you that has a fall theme but he changes it around every season mainly cause he finds it fun, he does do a summerween theme for you!
Authors note: i apologize this is so short I was kinda stumped a bit because i wasn’t exactly sure if you meant spooky like Halloween or some for of alt I hope you still enjoy it even though its short!
I feel like Chan would be good at putting his little to sleep i just think he’d have a calming routine for his little, like bath with lots of bubbles, then a short story, then a movie depending on the night. He would also be good at tucking you in too, I think Chan would get you nice and snuggle a lay next to you and play with you hair until he’s for certain you fell asleep. I also think he’d warm milk up for you if you’d like, Chan I could see also humming a random tune while laying next to you as he scrolls his phone. I do think he would buy those stars that glow in the dark and go up on the ceiling if not I think he’d buy leds or use Christmas lights around the room
Authors note: I think Mama Hyunjin and my P1harmony content will be out either some time this afternoon or tomorrow! Also only two photos for this post because it looked cluttered
