"It's okay." He wasn't going to go crazy here and love water but it was okay if hyung was here for it and he had music and fun coloured water. "I still don't like the water. It's scary." But he could learn to get on with it sometimes. As long as it stayed away from his hair. He hummed along to the music as he made pathetic kid attempts to wash himself. So, basically, splashing water up his chest and arms.
Good enough! He turned to Yoongi, smiling. "Can I get out now?"
"In a minute," Yoongi promised, because he reached for the soft sponge he liked to use and gently ran it over Kangwoo's skin. He needed him to be clean properly and so he couldn't just let him off easily, even if he didn't like water. Much as he wanted to coddle him. "All right!"
He finally nodded his head, satisfied. "Are you ready to come out, Kang-ah?"
"Yeah." He was done being in horrible water. He eagerly stood up, all wet and eager, gripping onto the side of the bath and trying not to wiggle or bounce. He knew that slipping in the bath was a big owie and he didn't want to risk it.
"Hyung, if appa is not my appa, who is my appa?" It seemed like a good question to Kangwoo. "Is it you?"
Yoongi wrapped Kangwoo up in a big towel and rubbed him dry, then held him close as he asked his question. He frowned, unsure how to answer this. However... "Do you want me to be your appa? I would like being your appa."
It would be healthier for Kangwoo, he knew that much. Safer, maybe. At least he intended to do all he could to make it so.
"You'd be a good appa. You make food and give baths. You dress well. You smell nice." All good appa things that appas had to be good at. Kangwoo nodded approvingly and leaned into Yoongi, pressing his face against the other's shoulder and considering having a new appa. A nice appa. It seemed way safer than not having one.
"You're the appa and I'm your baby." That was how it worked. "And then we get a puppy."
"Yeah? Hmm, guess we could get a puppy. Maybe when your new appa is a bit less stressed at work, yeah?" Yoongi didn't want to destroy Kangwoo's sweet little dreams, but right now he didn't have the focus for a puppy on top of, yeah, essentially getting a new baby. He reached for Kangwoo's jammies and held them out for him.
"Put them on, Kang-ah. Then we can watch some more Star Wars and I will feed you something yummy."
"Okay. Puppy can wait." Kangwoo nodded, okay to put his puppy dreams aside for now and focus on other things. Like how cool it was to have fresh jammies, Star Wars ahead and a new appa. Once he was all dressed, he hugged onto Yoongi and smiled to himself. "You're gonna be the best appa. I'll be a really good baby."
And when they finally got that puppy, he'd also be the best!
