"Yeah, we will." Yoongi hugged Jungkook close. "Until you are big and want to move out so you can live by yourself." Well, there was that. But it was hard to even think about that when he had his tiny little Kookie right there. He couldn't even imagine him being old enough to go to school right now. "We will have a kitchen, so we can cook in our pyjamas."
Wouldn't that be exciting. "Maybe we will even have a bathtub, like TaeTae does."
"I won't ever move out, hyung." Nope, not ever. Apparently. As they approached the check out, Jungkook squirmed around until he could be put in the cart. He loved his part. He sat in the cart and handed Yoongi stuff, Yoongi put it on the moving thing and then it all beeped! Thrilling for a toddler. Not for many others. He held the products over his head so Yoongi could reach them.
"I like being in my pyjamas. I have nice pyjamas now." Jungkook turned to the lady in front of them, who was watching them with amusement, and he beamed at her. "My appa got me bunny pyjamas."
"Uh-huh. There's bunnies all over." Yoongi didn't feel much like talking to some stranger, so he just interacted with Jungkook and smiled a little. The weirdest thing about becoming a father - something he really had not anticipated - was that women suddenly noticed him in a whole new way. If he hadn't been so gay, he could have really scored.
He got his wallet out, getting ready to pay. "Say goodbye, Kookie, yeah?"
"And they have carrots. It's silly but I like it a lot. I didn't have jammies cause I had to leave but now I do!" Jungkook explained to the woman who was smiling politely and nodding along. Jungkook was either very shy or very chatty with no in-between. He liked to ramble on, he liked to share and he was always excited to brag about his new appa to anyone who'd listen. "Goodbye, noona."
Jungkook waved as the lady finally made her leave and then turned around to watch Yoongi. "She was pretty. You should marry her."
"Yeah? Pretty sure she was already married, Kookie, she had a ring on." Yoongi paid for their purchases and then pushed Jungkook in the cart along, handing him a bag so he could put away all their purchases. He always loved doing that, so he let him, waiting the extra time it took the tiny boy to coordinate his limbs enough. It wasn't as if they were in any hurry.
"Besides, she is very pretty. But, you know, appa doesn't like pretty girls for falling in love. Or not pretty girls. Not my taste."
He did take his sweet time doing it, not on purpose, he felt like he was working pretty fast. He got some items tangled in the handle of the bag but mostly, he was packing at the speed of light and -- oops, dropped the butter. He focused on trying to cram it back in. "You don't like pretty girls... I guesssss. It'd just be nice to have an eomma again."
He did miss his eomma a lot. He looked up at Yoongi, trying to pack the milk at the same time... it didn't work at all. "You don't like pretty girls cause you like Joonie-hyung."
Yoongi leaned against the cart handle as he watched Jungkook, only reaching out to hold open the bag once. He had a lot of patience with this kind of thing, it wasn't as if he had anything urgent planned. All they had to do was carry home the groceries and get ready for bed, a few minutes more or less here wouldn't kill him.
Although that might. He coughed, raising his eyebrows. "I like Joonie-hyung?" Wait, what? "Who said that?"
"TaeTae said that some boys like boys and Joonie-hyung liked boys. And he doesn't like girls, just boys. And you always say you don't like girls so you like boys. Annnd you always spend time with Joonie-hyung and no one else." There, that was his deduction. Pretty on the ball for a tiny boy but Jungkook did a lot of thinking. He finally got everything into the bag and looked up at Yoongi, holding up his arms.
The shopping needed carrying and, apparently, so did he. At least he tucked Dooly into the bag so he'd be out of the way. "You should marry him."
"Yeah? I don't think I can do that, Kookie. For one thing, I don't have the money for a ring. An onion ring, maybe." Well. In all fairness, knowing Namjoon, he might accept that readily. He adjusted Jungkook to sit on his hip properly, held the bag in his free hand and started heading out of the store. Luckily it wasn't a long walk.
"Besides, Namjoon-ah and I are just friends, you know? You are right, if either of us did fall in love, it would be with a boy, but that doesn't mean that we fall in love with every boy, you know?"
"But then me and TaeTae would be brothers and we'd get a puppy called Sparkles and share a room." Clearly Jungkook and Tae had discussed this because he was very specific on what would happen going forward. He and Tae had talked about how cool it'd be a few times, Jungkook had it in his little head that they should definitely date for the good of all of mankind and puppies.
"What kind of boys do you like if you don't like Joonie-hyung? Do you think Joonie is ugly?" He was just wondering. "He smells good."
"Does he? Hm. I'll have to smell him some time." Oh, this was definitely a TaeTae and Kookie plan, the signs were obvious. Yoongi wasn't even surprised, these two came up with all kinds of things. Honestly, this might be one of the less weird, on the whole. "I don't think Joon-ah is ugly at all. He's very handsome. Kinda out of my league, really. That means he's more handsome than me, you know? Anyway... I don't know. I used to like dumb boys, but I've changed a lot since then. I don't know what I'd like in a boy now."
"You should like smart boys. Joonie-hyung is smart and he smells nice annnd he always has funny t-shirts on!" Sometimes funny on purpose, sometimes funny by accident and sometimes he just had a lot of spills and it made them giggle. He liked Namjoon, he was always nice to them and he always sat down to read a story. Jungkook and Tae thought it'd be a brilliant idea if they dated. It just made sense.
"Namjoon is smart but he's not all cool like you are so you gotta help him be cool and he can help you be smart."
"You saying your appa isn't smart?" Yoongi shook his head as he entered the motel, nodding to the doorman and then looking at Jungkook again. "The disrespect, you little brat." He had to smile though, the whole thing was really cute.
"You and TaeTae can play all the time anyway. What difference does it make whether Joon-ah and I date, huh?" He let Jungkook press the button to call the lift, waiting for the doors to open.
"I think you're smart but you do dumb things. You'd do less dumb things if you had a smart boy like Joonie." Jungkook suggested as he squirmed around in Yoongi's arms, looking over his shoulder and peering up at the lift camera. He waved at it and then pulled some faces cause he could see himself. Funny!
"Appa, it's different if you're brothers! It's better. We wanna be brothers. And then we'd get to use their kitchen too,"
"Yeah? As long as they don't get to use their kitchen, we might be all right." Yoongi smiled, shaking his head a little. His cute boy had some strange ideas. "You know, appa isn't really the kind of boy anyone would want to date. Maybe in a few months."
Once he had more than one outfit change and felt less exhausted from just... Living. Every day was a struggle in ways he hated to admit to himself. Jungkook was motivation, but he was also very draining.
Yoongi stopped by the door and unlocked it. "Namjoon already has some other boys he's trying to date."
"I would date you, appa." Jungkook smiled at Yoongi and leaned forward, giving him a little kiss on the cheek because he thought his appa was the best appa. How could anyone not want to date his appa? He and Tae agreed, he was the coolest of all cool kids. Even Siwoo agreed. Well, he gurgled and they took that as a yes.
As they headed inside, Jungkook slid from Yoongi's arms and climbed down, running to the bed so he could climb on it and face Yoongi, smiling up at him. "You don't smell any more or fall down, appa."
"Yeah, I'm a real winner." Yoongi snorted and started putting their shopping away, checking his watch. He should probably get Jungkook ready for bed soon, then they could snuggle a bit and talk until it was bedtime. First he could play tetris with the fridge though, the butter was turning out to be a bit of a challenge. It would be easier once they finished off the current milk tomorrow morning.
"You know, Jungkookie, appa is a bit sick. Not my body, but my head. Just a little. And I'm not all well yet, you know? It takes some time. Although you are like medicine. The best medicine."
"You're not well? Maybe we should get you more medicine. And a doctor. I played doctor yesterday, I can look you over." Maybe he could fix Yoongi, they appa could date and be happier. He did worry for his appa, he didn't like that he was sad. Was he always this sad? He didn't like to think of his appa being sick. "Maybe someone can kiss it better?"
He guessed either of them had eommas to do that any more. Jungkook watched Yoongi for a while, just trying to wrap his small head around this big problem.
"Nah. Right now is pretty good. Though I'm a bit sleepy, so maybe we should get ready for bed?" Yoongi yawned, in only a slight exaggeration. Work really was hard some days and he had had a long day. It was always nice to go to bed after a day like that, felt as if he'd earned it.
He looked for Jungkook's pyjamas and picked them up, then gestured to Jungkook. "Let's get you ready for bed, yeah? And maybe tomorrow you can play doctor and look me over? Make me all good."
"Okay, we can get ready for bed and have some snuggle time." Jungkook decided wisely as he started to pull off his shoes and socks slowly, following Yoongi around as he went into the bathroom, washed up, brushed his teeth mostly by himself and then let Yoongi dress him in his pyjamas. Heh. Bunnies.
Yawning now he was in pyjama headspace, he needily insisted on being held and carried. "it's okay, appa. You'll feel better soon." Gently, he petted Yoongi's head. "Poor head."
