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 :(
seonghwa would be absolutely so incredibly excited to be your caregiver
lowkey he already babies you in your day-to-day life, so he sees this as an absolute win
when you tell him about your age regression he's fighting off the biggest smile, already planning cute little outfits and toys in his head for his little one :>
♡
adores being called mommy or mama 💞
which is wonderful because you love calling him every 21 seconds
“mommyyyyyyy, wanna snack please”
“mama, I lost my crayon…...”
“MAMA I FOUND IT!”
♡
loves doing legos with you
when you toddled up to his desk chair while he was playing one day, he just plopped you onto his lap and let you look at all the pretty pieces
“wanna help mama, sweetheart?”
so now whenever he gets a new set he’ll set apart a few small parts for you to put together :3
except you found an even more fun way to play legos!
pretending to eat the pieces like sannie samchon does just to see mommy freak out 🙂↕️
♡
seonghwa loooooves play fighting with you
y'all have playtime star wars fights with matching lightsabers
or empty wrapping paper rolls if those are too heavy for your little hands <3
he goes all out, making swooshing noises and flopping to the ground when you poke his side
he also play wrestles, swooping you up in his arms just to plop you both on the couch for a tickle fight
so he really shouldn't complain when you randomly tackle him now
mama started it ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭♡
♡
his sweet tooth is nearly worse than yours, so you’re always going on adventures together to find a sweet treat
“race you to the convenience store, peanut! last one there buys the ice cream!”
…..he’s immediately sprinting btw
you didn’t stand a chance
but it’s okay, he scoops you into a breathless hug when you catch up to him
and he’ll bundle you both into the store to buy the ice cream for you anyway 🤍
♡
a FIENDDDDDD for deco pacis
he will find any excuse to buy you one……..or four
his favorite hobby is putting together cute little sets for you
like matching outfits with bottles n pacis n such 🙂↕️you have one for every occasion atp
and he likes helping you get dressed all cute and teensy too
buttoning up your overalls and popping your paci into your mouth with a pop of his lips
“there you go, cutiepie”
♡
your mommy has quite a love for cozy games, so it’s only natural for him to get his baby in on it, too
usually when you’re feeling small you like to play “on mommy’s game, please?” instead of your grown up one
so he gets it all ready for you before handing you his console
don’t tell anyone 🤫 but he made you a lil regression room on his animal crossing island, set with all the toys and pretty colors his baby could ever want <3
♡
he uses the most softest voice ever when he speaks to you :<
when he wakes you up in the morning he'll barely make a sound, trying not to rouse your sleep with anything too loud
he'll just pet your hair and speak quietly until you're blinking sleepily at him
“good morning, sleepyhead~ mommy made you breakfast, with all that sugar that your joong samchon complains about”
which of course has you hopping out of bed in an instant, socked feet slipping over the hallway tiles 🫂
♡
overall, seonghwa is a silly but very gentle caregiver
he loves being playful with you but his ultimate goal is to keep you happy, comfy, and safe <3 you're your mommy's sweetheart for reals
and also became a cg in the most vernon way possible
like he accidentally found your little gear and was like
“what’s….all this? 👁️👁️”
and after your halting explanation he just went
“oh that's cool. can I like, hang out with you?......while you do that, I mean”
and it just became your little ritual to hang out with him while you regressed :3
at first he'd just chill with you but eventually you started asking him his opinions on color choices for your coloring book, or what mister kangaroo was doing on the “roof of the capital building” (the top of the desk)
and eventually it evolved into him being your carer!
♡
he loves being called bubba or nonnie 🙂↕️
likes to lounge around with you a lot, laying down and sharing earbuds to listen to music or nap :3
aaaaand watch cat videos. lots of em.
he's extremely smitten with your love of the cute animals, and likes to make it more interactive for you as well!
he'll go “and what sound does this one make, bubs?” just to hear you go “MEOOOOOOWmeowmeowmeowme-”
and he'll immediately join in, of course
one time jeonghan came in while you were both meow-ing away, and he genuinely thought a stray or two got in the house
♡
for more energetic activities I think vernon would love to hold a “silent rave”
he'll be listening to avril lavigne and you'll be listening to kiddie music and y'all will just jam fr
but he makes sure you don't have the headphones too loud so it doesn't hurt your sensitive little ears <3
♡
I think he would also like to cook with you!
which I know is a bit surprising considering his, uhm, slight lack of skill in that area
but I think he would really enjoy making simple little dishes with you and getting to share time with you in that way 🥺
but sometimes those simple dishes are just a sandwich, and that's perfectly okay 🤍 (no pb+j’s for you, though, little one. can't have bubba feeling icky from the peanuts!)
♡
I think nonnie would be a very, very genuine and sweet caregiver as well :(
he's very earnest when he's comforting you or telling you how talented his kiddo is 🫂
always always always tells you he's proud of you
like seriously always
you finished your snack? “so proud of you, lil dude”
you put your toys away? “good job! bubba’s so proud”
you brushed your teeth? “thank you, bubs. nonnie’s so proud of you.”
one time you hit him with a “bubba proud?” after you'd done something that you were nervous about, and he just about tackled you to the floor in hugs and reassurances that yes, bubba was so very proud <3
nonnie loves you so much, and he is never ever afraid to let you know that 💞
bonus:
going on a little aquarium date with him and making all sorts of funny faces at the fish
you'll definitely stop to find the ugliest fish in each tank, say, “that one’s you, bubba :3”
and then sprint away giggling when he tries to chase you with his ticklish fingers (つˆДˆ)つ｡☆
a/n: hihi :) I wrote this little snippet when I had a doctor’s appointment coming up and wanted to share! pls enjoy some sannie comfort 🤍
“Sannie, m’ nervous.”
San pulled you close to his chest, kissing your crown before tucking his chin over your head. “I know, honey. But Sannie will come with you, and after it’s all done we can go eat lunch, hm?”
You nodded in agreement to San’s words. You hadn’t been feeling little before, but with the mix of anxiety and San’s coddling, you were definitely slipping now. You fiddled with a string on the edge of the blanket.
“Can I bring Deoki?” You questioned, referring to your little purple cat plush that currently lied in a blanket on your dresser. Princesses and beds, you know.
“Of course you can, sweetie. I’m sure Deoki would love to come with you.”
You murmured a quiet little sound, no longer feeling up to words. Instead you focused on your senses, intrigued by the soft tshirt in front of your face. It smelled faintly clean and sea salty, with a sweet warm undertone. One of those fancy perfumes from San’s work, probably. The feel of the cloth was thin and soft under your cheek when you pressed against it, the warmth of his skin easily transferred through the well worn material. You nuzzled happily into the feeling.
You heard San’s heartbeat under your ear, steady and relaxed, his hand now gently combing through your hair. Curious, you stretched a bit to take the fabric between your teeth, suckling on it. It didn’t have much of a taste, but the feeling of it was soothing, making you feel soft and sleepy. You cinched the material into your fist, snuggling closer and closing your eyes.
“There we are,” San cooed above you. “There’s my little one. Do you want your paci?”
As tempting as that was, you had no desire to move or have your caregiver move, either. You shook your head, still attached to his shirt.
He chuckled, the sound vibrating under your cheek. “Alright, then. Get some sleep, honey. I’ll be right here.”
With that he pulled the blanket up over your shoulders, reaching over you to turn the nightlight off. He settled back down into the blankets, pressing a kiss to your head before nestling his head into the pillows. You listened to the sound of his quiet breathing and steady heartbeat until it eventually lulled you to a peaceful sleep, worries washed away for the night <3
is a tad bit confused when you first tell him, considering you just explained it as feeling “small and vulnerable”
poor sannie thought you meant you were feeling scared and just needed a bit of comfort
but you were too shy to go more in depth at the time
so after a few more times of you toddling into his room, and his naver history being filled with blankets and pacis and little gear, he asked if your feelings were related to agere
when you nodded he honestly felt relieved, glad to have an explanation for the rather new situation
but! is sooo so happy to take care of you after that, especially knowing that it makes you feel happy and safe
…..and also because he just thinks you're adorable but shhhhh (◠ω・)—☆
♡
cooked™
will let you do anything to him, just goes along with it hehe
plays any role you want: knight, prince, dragon slayer, dragon rider, anything— even the dragon itself
he’ll even give you a dragon ride if you ask nicely enough (◕ω◕)
loves to guard your plushies. If they are placed in his care, he will protect them with his life
you looove handing them to him when you go to the bathroom, just to come back and see them tucked safe and sound under his arm when you return <3
♡
as for titles, he just likes his name! and so do you <3
thinks it's adorable when you tug on his sleeve to get his attention, mumbling “sannie” into where your face is smushed into his arm
“hi, tiny,” is the usual response, tucking away his amused smile in order to give you his full attention
♡
likes to act cute with you
lowkey he can out-aegyo you, which is a problem when you're trying to pout your way out of something
“but pleaaaaase, honey? Just one more piece, then we can have dessert. you wanna have cake with sannie, don't you?”
ends with you giving the biggest sigh your little body can manage, and then complying because it is unfair! that sannie be that cute
he'll just smile his little cat smile and pat your head, satisfied with himself
♡
veryyy much likes to carry you
especially if you just woke up from a nap and you make tiny little fists on his sleeves when he hoists you into his arms :c
lives for making you feel tiny, so even if you aren't comfy being carried, he makes sure you're always holding his hand when you go anywhere
“we gotta cross the street, sweetie. hold my hand!”
♡
spoils the daylights out of you, unapologetically.
you want that cake in the bakery window? guess what's for dessert tomorrow
that little elephant stuffie is tugging on your little heartstrings? It's on your bed when you get ready for bedtime next week
your happy squeals just make his heart soar, how could he ever tell you no :(
♡
can be so silly sometimes!
he likes to omnomnom on your hair
and when you giggle and tell him, “I not a snack, sannie!” it only results in him doing it more, messing up your hair with his big OMNOMNOMNOM’s
“but you're my honey, aren't you? you look so sweet to me~”
sorry, little one. you'll just have to ask your sannie to make it pretty again later ^°^
♡
breaks out into song every 20 minutes
“why don't we REEEEWRIIIIITE THE STARS” while he picks you up and twirls you around the living room
if you don't agree to being his dance partner he will be so sad •́︿•̀ pls dance with him
loves to sing during bath time too, getting your duckies to dance in the bubbles with you while you get squeaky clean :)
♡
most unfortunately for you he thinks you're the cutest most precious little bean
which often results in him interrupting whatever you're doing to smother you with affection
you're trying to color at the table? WRONG you're being cuddle attacked by sannie now
I know I've mentioned this already but he gets soooooo much worse when you're sleepy or feeling extra tiny
does that thing where he gets close and babbles and hums cutely at you until you're a giggling mess
loves to squish your cheeks too, especially if your lips are already pouty from sleep
sannie just loves you so much, ok? you're his little honey :(
is so so excited when you tell him about your age regression
“you mean you’re like a BABY?!?” ← nearly jumping out of his skin
you guys know how much youngie loves kiddos, and lil you is NO exception
the first time you slip in front of him he's very careful, asking you how old you’re feeling and if you want a snack– or a hug…. or a nap; things like that
just overall very soft
gets comfy with it pretty quick and turns into one of the most playful and silly cgs
always teasing you
a l w a y s
like he will literally make fun of you for sneezing, even if you’re sick
he’s really just trying to make you feel better 🫂
♡
his favorite caregiver nickname is uyu!
it actually came from a slight miscommunication when you first started regressing around him
he was asking if you wanted milk, but you kept thinking he was talking about himself
he was very confused when you, in fact, did not want the milk he had offered lol
but it’s okay! he got a very cute nickname out of it, so it was well worth it
depending on the color of his clothes–or his hair– uyu gets a variant
yellow clothes? banana uyu! red or pink? strawberry uyu! blue? that’s right, blueberry uyu!
loves loves loves being called uyu, you just don’t understand
definitely has made you say “pleaseeee, uyu?” to get sweets or pretty much anything you want
regrets nothing
♡
will Die™ if you slip into babyspace. just. bye bye uyu.
you being all sleepy and cuddly and babbling at him with big round eyes???? he's literally gone
loves wrapping you up in blankets and rocking you, patting your back to encourage you to sleep
also sings lullabies °^° never is uyu more soft than when he's totally focused on your little face, gentle melodies escaping his lips as he lulls you to sleep
♡
likes to cook for you! especially breakfast coz he can make it all cute and sweet like you!
interrupts your coloring to tickle your sides, scooping you up and whisking you away to the counter
“breakfast is ready, banana boo, come eat before uyu gets hungry!”
growls and pretends to eat your food before you can even reach for it
♡
likes coloring with you for low energy playtime, nudging you to ask for a color every once in a while
lowkey does it to annoy you, making sure you aren’t on a tedious part before he not-so-subtley shoves you, your crayon streaking across the page (in the lines! he’s silly but he doesn’t want you to mess up your masterpiece)
“can I have the green, bab-AAA! hey! don’t shove me!”
this ends in a tickle fight which was definitely not the secret plan all along….
♡
loves to call you all sorts of nicknames
your name means nothing to him he doesn’t need it
here’s a rather shortened version of the List of nicknames he calls you
munchkin, kitty, agi, banana boo (yes, it is to match with banana uyu) and the occasional “spawn of hell” if you’re being particularly bratty, which you definitely learned from him-
you’ve learned to answer to pretty much anything
if he says a word or two in a sweet tone just know it’s what you’re getting called for the rest of the week
♡
remember to give your uyu lots of love! he loves getting affection from his baby
demands kisses like the government collecting taxes
but it’s okay because he bestows as much as he demands >,<
not a day goes by where you escape his cuteness aggression
he’s definitely silent screamed before, especially when you get extra cuddly or sleepy
literally fighting demons and you’re just ZzZzz ing away
in conclusion, uyu is so very silly and just loves to tease and love the daylights out of you
so sweet and gentle, and he’s honored that you trust him enough to love and care for you when you’re feeling so, well, small
I can definitely see him liking a title or two, but eventually you both settle on yuyun! with a few appearances of baba or yunnie whenever you’re feeling especially tiny
just enough of his puppy-like energy while still making you feel oh so teensy 🫳
♡
such a goofball oh my goodness. I cannot begin to explain to you how much of a silly goose he is
for example
dance parties to get the sillies out before bed
no amount of silly willies are too much during your special time
minus jumping on the couch because you got an ouchie leaping off one night :(
and! meme lord!
makes online references you’re too little to understand, especially when you're in babyspace
and when you just stare at him confused his giggles get even louder
the man is seriously in hysterics and you’re just suckling on a paci fr
not a serious bone in his body
♡
nicknames!
uses them like a southern grandma, he is an endless fountain of endearments
pups, buddy, kiddo, baby girl/boy/love, darling; just to name a few
loves loves calling you pup or puppy, even pups sometimes
“c’mere puppy, come help yuyun put toys away!”
♡
ABURA SOBAAAAAA
you will eat it three times a week I hope you like it KSHCDKS
if you haven’t tried it before his eyes will light up and he’ll immediately cajole you into eating it with him, helping you order and plating it up prettily with his recommended toppings
“do you like it, kiddo? It’s okay if you don’t, yuyun will eat it for you”
even if you end up loving it he’ll still try to sneak a bite, so better be careful!
♡
he cannot cook BLESS
you will be eating takeout until wooyoung takes pity on your poor souls and feeds the both of you❤️🩹
but it’s okay your yuyun will still hand feed you every bite
aaaaand! he is the king of snacktime
as a gamer and proud owner of a bachelor pad he understands the importance of a quick and yummy snack to fill a tummy
he has one of those fancy little carts that he restocks with your favorite snacks, and sets it up by his gaming desk so you can hang out with him while he plays :3
♡
likes taking you out on “darling dates” where you both dress up and go get a sweet treat or a nice meal, taking pictures together along the way <3
always holds your hand on the way there, swinging your linked arms back and forth to a little tune he’s humming
this is really subtle but he always gives your palm a little squeeze anytime he has to let go 🥺 even if it’s for just a moment
it’s one of his favorite ways to spend time with you
♡
also! lets you game with him :3
and by game with him I mean he sits you in his lap and gives you an unplugged controller/keyboard :3
baby hands cannot mess up his prized radiant status on valorant
but like…buttons and fun sounds. it’s not like you’re complaining
but! he’ll find a game more suitable for little ones and teach you how to play
lets you win like 75% of the time to keep up the guise of competition lol
♡
having 6’2 frame means that he is pillow
or rather…bed
grunts and groans good naturedly whenever you flop on him
“hi, yuyun.” *groan of a 90 year old man* “I hungry, yuyun.” “good morning to you, too, kiddo.”
but he really doesn’t mind, staring down his nose at you in your fuzzy pajamas and sleep wrecked hair, sprawled over him like a little pancake (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ it’s a rather sweet way to be woken up
♡
likes holding you in his lap while he reads stories to you over your shoulder, putting his acting into use by using silly voices and bringing the characters to life
“and then the little puppy said grrrrr! woof woof!”
“what dat mean, yuyun.”
“I guess you're just too little to understand puppy, baby. maybe when you're older.”
he didn’t plan on having to talk you out of a tantrum for not teaching you how to speak dog, right then and there, but here we are
♡
can be so sweet and gentle with you as well
he's silly but he really, really adores caring for you
any time you’re upset he’s the perfect person to go to, always ready to lend a helping hand or a shoulder to sniffle into
his hugs are the absolute best, all encompassing and warm in a way that makes you feel oh so safe and loved
overall, yuyun is definitely a silly caregiver, but he is the most serious when it comes to how much he loves you <3
thank you to @wooyunho and 🐶 anon for requesting this! and so sorry for the wait!! 🤍
You'd spent the afternoon watching cartoons and coloring and playing with your toys, so you were tuckered out by the time dinner came along. Woozi had volunteered to watch over you for the day, promising Seungcheol that yes he could multitask and do work at home simultaneously. And he did a wonderful job! Such a wonderful job, in fact, that you were both so sleepy from the day's events your samchon was just awake enough to make you macaroni for dinner and call it a night.
After gently cleaning the leftover dinner stickiness from your fingers and lips, he plops himself down on the couch, patting his lap invitingly and grabbing the remote. You flop down happily, eager to get cuddles after your long day of play. He queues up a comfort movie that he knows will get you to fall asleep in no time, and settles in.
Despite the fact that the movie is on for you, you feel the rise and fall of his chest even out before the opening credits are even complete, and you snuggle in, content to wait for Seungcheol to return from the studio while you sleep.
About halfway into the movie, you hear keys being turned in the lock, too sleepy to look at who is coming home, and you completely miss Seungcheol appearing in the doorway and slipping off his shoes.
Seungcheol heads into the living room to find you and Woozi sprawled on the couch. He smiles when he sees the two of you, pulling out his phone and taking a few quick pictures. One for blackmail, and one for himself. Always. Not often that he gets a two-for-one deal, after all.
Quietly, he pads sock-footed over to the couch to lean over you both. He soso softly rubs your shoulder to wake you, whispering as quietly as possible, "Hey, honeybear. Ready to go to bed?"
You open your eyes groggily, only faintly aware of Seungcheol removing Woozi's arms from around you, laying them to rest idle by his sides. “Dada?" you slur as he picks you up, securing an arm under your knees and hefting you against him. You let your head thonk against his shoulder.
"Yeah, Dada's here. Let's get you to bed, sleepy baby."
You remember all of three seconds of the trip to your bed, only regaining awareness when Seungcheol starts tucking you in, comfy pajamas already adorning your frame. You reach up for a hug, relaxing when warm arms envelope you. "G'night, Dada. 'ove you."
Seungcheol hums, giving you a final squeeze before releasing you, wiggling your covers up to your chin and making a show of tucking them under you. "I love you too, kiddo. Sweet dreams, ok?"
The only response he gets is a soft snore, so he chuckles and begins his tired shuffle back to the living room.
Seungcheol is truly amazed at the capability Woozi has to sleep in whatever position he wants, seemingly humanly possible or not. He re-enters the living room expecting his dongsaeng to be exactly where he left him, not sprawled sideways over the cushions with a leg resting on the coffee table a full foot away. He resists the urge to pull out the camera again, really too sleepy to judge, and fully aware Woozi has definitely captured him in more embarrassing positions.
He closes the distance to the couch, crouching down in order to haul Woozi’s newfound bulk-obsessed body into his arms. “This used to be, ugh— so much easier, Woozi-ah,” he grumbles, trying and failing to carry him in a dignified manner. He settles for securing an arm under his butt and plastering the younger to his chest, grunting as he makes his way to Woozi’s room. Curse that stupid gym.
He's is grateful for Woozi’s refusal to make his bed in the morning —no matter how much Joshua gripes about it— when he sees the covers of his bed already pulled back and strewn across the mattress. One less thing to do with his arms full of human. He lays his charge down carefully, the younger’s legs dangling off the edge of the bed. He pulls his much-too-stiff-to-sleep-in jeans off of his hips and tosses them over the concerningly high pile of clothes on the desk chair, deeming that a problem for Tomorrow Seungcheol™.
He situates Woozi’s legs onto the mattress, the movement jostling him a little and Seungcheol winces as his eyes flutter for a moment. He mumbles a string of incoherency, something along the lines of “mmpfhlpflmm,” and Seungcheol stares incredulously into his closed eyes, nodding along to the nonsense as if comprehension would dawn on him from doing so. He combs the hairsprayed bangs out of Woozi’s eyes, willing his breathing to even out again. It seems to do the trick, the producer snuggling down into his pillow, and Seungcheol quietly tiptoes to the doorframe.
Smiling softly at Woozi’s sleep slack face, finally devoid of any stress after two weeks of strict scheduling, Seungcheol pads back to your room to check on you before he goes to bed. From the sliver of light coming from the doorframe he can see two little eyes peering up at him. The two little eyes blink and suddenly hands are being outstretched into the darkness towards him, and he sighs, endeared, because now you've seen him and that means an obligatory second goodnight is in order. Not that he would ever mind.
He slips into the room, careful not to let too much light in so you can hold onto your sleepiness and hopefully drop back off once you've gotten your second round of night night hugs.
"Why are you still awake, honey? You were so sleepy just a little while ago.”
"Is Uji samchon okay, Dada?"
Seungcheols heart squeezes at your sweet concern, your lamb plushie squeezed close against your pajama top as you sit up fully in bed.
"Yes, baby, your samchon’s alright. He's just very sleepy. He's all cozy, though, it's okay."
"Dada tucked Uji in?" you ask. "Grown ups don't get tucked in, Dada. That's for babies.”
Seungcheol sits on the edge of your bed and tucks your plushie closer to you, the creak of the mattress reminding him that he really needs to get a new one before it becomes too squeaky for you to sleep in. He ignores it for now as he fusses over the bedding that's now crooked over your lap.
"Sometimes grown ups need to be taken care of too, baby. How was Uji gonna get in his bed otherwise, hmm?"
You pouted at him, thinking hard. You concluded that he was right. Your samchon didn't seem very....alive last time you saw him. Maybe your Dada was right, grown ups could use babying too!
"Hmm....Uji as'eep now?"
Seungcheol frowned at the seemingly random topic change, passing a hand through your hair. "Yes, baby, he's asleep.”
That seemed to be the answer you'd been hoping for, eyes lighting up with sudden energy and your lamb falling out of your arms onto the floor. The bed squeaked in protest as you bounced to your knees, jostling your caregiver who was grinning fondly, if not confusedly. "Can we go tuck samchon in?"
Seungcheol melted. Who cares if he literally just came from doing that exact thing, he'd do it again in a heartbeat.
"Of course we can, little love." He stood and held out a hand for you. "But be quiet, okay? We don't wanna wake him up."
You took his offered hand, picking up your plushie from where it had fallen next to the bed. You did a few excited hops before Seungcheol shushes you with a kiss to your bouncing temple and a tight, soothing hug.
You pad out the room and down the hallway into Woozi's room, where he’s now curled around a blanket, arms curled up and tucked close to him. You tiptoe into the room and up to his bed, leaning over to observe his sleeping expression. His face is lax, mouth slightly open, and he’s snoozing softly. He looks peaceful. You stare at him for a solid ten seconds before…
".........samchon snores, Dada."
Seungcheol has to hold in an amused snort at what was supposed to be a cute moment. "Only when he's really sleepy, baby. Now go ahead, say goodnight to Uji."
You observe only a moment more before leaning closer and pressing a kiss to his forehead. He doesn't stir, too tired to even register that there are people in the room.
Standing back up and turning to Seungcheol, you point at the sleeping figure behind you and command in a whisper, "Your turn, Dada."
Seungcheol, enamoured, listens, walking up to the bed and leaning down to press a soft kiss to the younger's head. Taking advantage of the fact that his dongsaeng is completely oblivious to all of this, he tucks the blanket all the way up to his chin, just like yours, whispering a "Goodnight, Woozi-ah. Sleep well," to his hair before returning to the doorway.
“Ready to go, bun? He's all tucked in now."
"Almost, Dada. One more thing," you whisper, tiptoeing back to his bed. You carefully lift your samchon's arm, tucking the lamb plush under it before laying it back down with a final pat of his hand. You whisper an equally careful, "Night night, Uji," before making your way back to Seungcheol, slipping your hand back into his and squeezing. "Uji gonna sleep good now that we tucked him in?"
Cheol was just putting away his phone camera, now full of a plushie bearing Woozi, and squeezes your hand in return. "So good, lovely. I'm sure he appreciates i-"
His sentence is cut off by a yawn, and you giggle at him. "Dada sleepy too!" He grins at you, quietly closing Woozi's door and lifting you onto his hip, walking back to your bedroom.
"Yes, baby. Dada is very sleepy. Which is why this little one is going to bed now," annunciating his statement with a poke to your side. You giggle again and nod, resting your chin on his shoulder. "I sleepy,” you agree.
You arrive at your bed soon enough, Seungcheol plopping you down so you bounce slightly when you land, making you laugh. You squirm back under the covers, grabbing two more plushies and scooting to the far end of the bed, patting next to you. Seungcheol holds the blankets up, tuck-in ready and puzzled.
"Why'd you scoot so far away, honey?"
"Had to make room for Dada! Gotta be tucked in, too!"
Oh, he's gonna melt. "Oh, I get tucked in too, love?"
"Mhm!" you exclaim, patting the bed again and beckoning him over. He crawls in next to you and slips under the covers, allowing you to not-so-gently guide (push, really) his head to the pillow.
"Gotta sleep, Dada! It's part of the tuck-in!"
"Alright, alright, I'm sleeping."
You make a face at him when his eyes remain open after his claim, and he quickly squeezes them shut. "I'm asleep!"
You (much more gently) press your bear plush into his arms before snuggling close, pulling the blankets up to cover the both of you. He holds you and the plushie in his arms, one arm around each of you. He squints a tentative eye open. "Am I tucked in now, honeybear?"
"Almost," you say, leaning up to kiss his cheek. Seungcheol beams, cheeks dimpled, and turns so he can fully hug you, squeezing you tight and pressing a kiss to your cheek in return. "Goodnight, sweet baby. Thank you for tucking us in. Gonna have sweet dreams now."
"Mhm, ni-" a yawn cracks your sentence. "Night night, Dada."
You’re both asleep within minutes, snuggled up oh-so close with the fuzzy covers and your plushies all around you to keep you safe and warm.
