MysmeFictober Day 3
October 3, 2024 <Arts & Crafts>
Yoosung laughed at the sight of Saeran at the crafts table they had set up for the kids. There was glitter in his hair and across his cheek. Mint green eyes met his amethyst ones, fine lines crinkling around the edges of his husband. Yoosung ran a hand through his deep brown hair, having stopped dying it blond several years before.
“Something funny?” Saeran asked, eyebrow raised as he tried to glue some popsicle sticks together.
“Papa, that’s not how you do it, it has to be a twiangle.” Ki corrected her father.
“Oh.” Saeran lowered his head, red hair falling like a curtain, and followed his daughter’s directions.
Saeyoung’s creation was enormous and while it had begun like a motley gluing of sticks, was clearly becoming a sitting cat. He lost himself in childish abandon and his sons were enthralled with their father’s building acumen.
MC busied herself with trying to keep the disaster around the table as much as possible, but it was a losing battle as glitter and glue seemed to have permeated further. Yoosung just shook his head and set the tray of drinks he had brought in the center of the table. Ki immediately reached for her Hello Kitty cup, sticky fingers leaving glitter, glue, and felt particles all over it.
As he sat next to his daughter, Saeran on the other side of her, he marveled at how his life had turned out. He was married to the love of his life and the past three years, since having adopted their little angel, things had only gotten better. In fact, he was hoping to begin a conversation with Saeran about adopting another child, he was getting baby fever.
Sure, things weren’t always sunshine and rainbows, Saeran still had depressive episodes, and Yoosung could be weighed down with his own stresses and worries. Harsh words could and would be said, but at the end of the day, they worked through it all together and his love only grew by the day. He watched his husband be the best girl dad in the world and his heart swelled with affection for them both. Taking in Saeyoung, MC and their twins only made things more wonderous. His little family was his rock and he cherished them all.
Saeran reached behind their daughter’s back and grasped his arm affectionatly. A radiant smile crossed his lips and Yoosung’s heart beat a little faster. That smile was magic, and he hoped that it would always make him feel that flutter.
“Deep in thought again?” Saeran asked.
“Just thankful for all we have.” Yoosung answered.
“Me too.” Saeran said with a wink.
“And me!” Saeyoung bellowed as he triumphantly put the last piece on his cat. “What do you think boys?”
The twins gave each other a knowing look before rising and promptly demolishing the kitty to bits in gleeful exuberance.
Ki’s eyes widened as she saw the beautiful structure disintegrate. Saeyoung’s jaw dropped, watching his sons destroy his creation, unable to move.
“B…b…but why?” he asked quietly.
“Do it again daddy! I bet you can’t make another one faster! Mommy, mommy, time daddy!” One of the five-year-olds said.
A gleam came into Saeyoung’s eyes at the thought of the new challenge.
