⇢ day seven of taegi week 2017
Yoongi really wishes he was sleeping right now, but watching Taehyung excitedly place more presents around the tree makes his heart flutter.
And when the pattering of tiny feet on the floorboards reaches his ears, Yoongi smiles and pulls Taehyung into his lap, kissing him softly before the kids can interrupt them.
"Ew! Daddy!" a tiny, high-pitched voice yells from the hallway.
Taehyung and Yoongi laugh simultaneously as first their daughter then their son throw themselves at them, snuggling into their laps. Yoongi runs his hand through Dahyun's hair, trying to tame to her brown locks that are tangled into a rat's nest atop her head. Taehyung blows a raspberry to Jaehyun's cheek and laughs when Jaehyun pouts at him, looking just like Yoongi when he pouts.
"It's Christmas, what are you sad for?" Yoongi asks, his free hand cupping Jaehyun's face.
Dahyun laughs, the sound like bells tinkling and Taehyung reaches over to press a kiss to her nose. "Because Santa didn't bring him anything!"
"Why wouldn't Santa bring you anything?" Taehyung asks, eyes wide as he stares down at their son. "Have you been naughty?"
Jaehyun only pouts, refusing to answer and when Dahyun opens her mouth to speak, he reaches over and slaps her arm, rolling out of Taehyung's lap to hide behind the couch. Dahyun chases after him, yelling at Jaehyun how she's going to get him and Taehyung would interfere if he wasn't busy trying to figure out why Yoongi is laughing at it all unfold.
"Hyung! It's not funny, we both said we wouldn't let them fight anymore," Taehyung whines, standing up from the couch only to be pulled back down again into Yoongi's lap with an "Oof!"
"I can't help it," Yoongi chuckles, grabbing hold of Jaehyun when the little boy passes by them on the couch. "They're adorable. I love them. I love you, Jaehyunnie."
Jaehyun pouts, his face flushed and Taehyung grabs Dahyun before she strikes her brother. "And I love you, Dahyunnie. Our little princess."
Dahyun preens under the affection, smiling wide and forgetting about her fight with her brother to curl into her father's arms instead. "Love you too, Appa! Can I open my presents now?"
"Go ahead, sweetheart," Yoongi says as he motions for Dahyun to approach the Christmas tree. "Where do you think you're going, Jaehyun?"
Jaehyun freezes in Yoongi's lap, looking up with puppy eyes at his father. Yoongi relents, sighing as he lets go of their son. "Okay. You can open your presents too because Santa did bring you presents. But if you fight with your sister again, Appa and I will take them away. Understand?"
Jaehyun nods, delighted and rushes towards the tree, tearing into his largest gift with a wide grin on his face. Taehyung laughs, shaking his head when Yoongi turns to face him.
"You're too hard on them, hyung," Taehyung explains and laughs again when Yoongi only rolls his eyes in response.
They sit back then, watching as their children tear into all their presents with a soft feeling hanging heavy in the air. Neither Yoongi nor Taehyung knows what the feeling may be, but they don't think much about it as Dahyun opens her last gift and holds the teddybear Hoseok gifted her to her chest. The feeling spreads then and both fathers know that despite all the mess and the screams, this is their definition of a perfect Christmas if anyone were to ask.
