"Yes! I'm wack!" Or whatever. Either way, he gave an enthusiastic high-five and then took Jungkook's hand so they could walk over to the rug that usually functioned as their stage together. Even if it was a contest, whatever. "Jiminie! Come ooooon!"
Yoongi shifted so he could lean his head against Namjoon's shoulder, wondering how in the world one judged a children's rap contest without making everyone cry.
"Now, shall we start with the oldest or the youngest?" Hobi walked over, already looking through his playlist.
"Okay, so, the key to not fucking this up is to tell all of them they won and then encourage them to pick a winner and pick whoever they want." Namjoon whispered to him, wrapping an arm around him. "Usually we all pick Kookie but Tae might get sensitive this year so I got this, it's okay."
Tae really, really wanted Yoongi's love and approval. He just hoped that beat out harmony and peace during the contest. "Oldest first."
Jimin blushed and shook his head, hiding behind Tae. Yoongi was watching and Jimin couldn't rap. He didn't know how to! "I-- I don't wanna."
"You don't have to do it if you don't wanna. You can also go last if you want."
Jimin did sing and he sang very happily, he may have started off nervous but he ended up singing very sweetly and swaying back and forth. He smiled at the end and bowed, loudly cheered by both tiny boys. Namjoon clapped too, whistling and cheering for him. Well, they all like to support each other.
"Now my boy Tae is gonna rock the mic."
He gave him a thumbs up. "Show Yoongi how well Kims can rap." Tilting his head back, he lowered his voice and spoke apologetically. "I'm so sorry for this."
"I wish underground battles were more like this." Everyone was in a good mood, for one thing, huge difference there. Yoongi gave Tae a thumb up and tried to brace himself. He had gotten small tastes of his rapping before, after all.
And Tae insisted on picking one of Yoongi's raps and so he ended up mostly making up words, especially at the faster parts, and still not keeping up with the tempo, but hey. The enthusiasm was there the whole way.
"Woo! So good, TaeTae!" Yoongi had to hide his face against Namjoon's chest, because he couldn't help the laughing.
"Woo! Tae!" Namjoon laughed and he could feel Yoongi dying behind him. He clapped along excitedly and then leaned back, kissed Yoongi on the cheek and got up. Whatever. When Kim bros made asses out of themselves, they did it as a mean. Namjoon got up there and gave his bro a fist bump before being his hype man.
He filled in the blanks for Tae as best he could without upstaging him, dancing badly behind him and trying to hype up the 'crowd'. Well, you know, Hobi and Jin were definitely hyped so he was winning.
When it ended, he lifted Tae up and set him on his shoulders. "Rapmaster TaeTae is done."
"Yaaaay!" Tae beamed, very happy to be carried. "I can be on stage with Agust D!" He had decided. Although he supposed they might still talk him out of it, but he felt he could put on a good show. One day!
"Think you're too young for a contract," Yoongi told him regretfully, leaning back on his hands and turning his head to look at Jungkook. "What about you? You are always ready!"
"The one and only Kookie!" Hobi was ready to hype his young charge up.
"You're so good, Tae." Jungkook didn't know if he was or not, he didn't think so but he knew that today was important because of how much he loved Yoongi and Yoongi loved Namjoon. He hoped Tae got to win. He came to the front and pulled up his hood, getting all hyped up and then doing what perhaps Tae should have done.
Picking an Agust D song that he could keep up with. Not that he could pronounce everything right but he sounded adorable, he did a good Suga impression and he didn't fall on his butt this year.
Namjoon leaned back against Yoongi and beamed. "Ahhh, so cute. I can't!"
"He's adorable," Yoongi agreed, while Tae was torn between being happy for Jungkook - and hyped as well - and worrying whether Yoongi might like Jungkook better. If he did, would Jungkook get to go to Japan? Or would Yoongi break up with Namjoon and maybe date Hobi instead? All very serious worries.
"You are all so good," Yoongi said after Jungkook had finished, clapping for them all. "Everyone is a winner!"
"Tae was the best this year!" Jungkook said swiftly as he bounced up and down, trying to get their attention. He was panicking a little because he didn't want to win. For the first time ever in his life. He pointed at Tae instead and hoped that Yoongi said that next cause it was important. "He's really good, he can be on stage with you."
"He is! He's so talented. He was a tree at my last recital and he was so cool." Jimin added, coming over to Hug Tae and give him some support.
Namjoon nudged Yoongi a little. Like he said, the kids always picked a winner. That made it so easy for them. "Who did the best, Yoongi?"
"Tae was the best," Yoongi decided to just agree, hoping no one would start crying. Tae didn't cry - yet - but he just smiled and couldn't think of words and ended up just hugging both Jimin and Jungkook and telling them both that they were the best. Such a fragile group of friends.
Yoongi turned his head to look at Namjoon. "...he was a tree?"
"There's a loooong video of it," Jin said in a very unimpressed voice.
"Look, I'm sorry, okay? I was moved by it. Moved. He was profound." Namjoon protested, glaring back at Jin. "I'll show you later." And that would be a video no one would want to watch but Namjoon but whatever, he was good at ruining everything.
With the rap over, Namjoon came over and picked up Tae, nuzzling him a little. "He was so impressed. We're great. We should be a proper rap duo. Maybe a trio, we can ask Agust D to collab with us."
Jimin hurried over to Jin and flopped all over him. "Hyuuuuuuuuuung, I'm so hungry."
"I did tell you that we should record you at the studio some time." Although he only thought Namjoon had actual potential, but whatever. Yoongi got to his feet and looked at Jin, who was apparently in charge of food. "Can I help with anything?"
"Sure. You can set the table." Jin gestured to the table and Yoongi simply walked off to do it, while Hobi whispered to Jin.
"You can't just make a star set your dinner table!"
Namjoon set Tae down to go and wash his hands, making sure that Jimin and Tae would help Jungkook wash his before he joined Yoongi and started to help him. Or hinder him. Honestly, it was debatable. He was slowly placing down the knives and forks when the door knocked really loudly and Namjoon frowned, turning his head.
"Everyone I know is here..." For some odd reason, Namjoon looked up, as if he was debating who it could be instead of answering the door.
Whoever was outside was singing Christmas songs... slutty Christmas songs. But boy, what an angelic voice.
"Oh my God, why is he here?" Hobi got up and headed for the door, opening it to repeat the same question to his kind of boyfriend's face. "Oh my God, why are you here?"
"TEN!" Tae bounced and then hurried to get to the door, once more sliding but this time connecting with Ten's legs, which was softer than the door. He held on to him and beamed. "I won the rap contest!"
"Ah... I remember you mentioning him." Yoongi kept his voice low, watching the scene curiously.
"Oh God, not him." Namjoon almost faceplanted the table. His little boy was touching that fuckboy, what was he going to do?
"I got a phone call today from Santa's elf, sounded a lot like a certain toddler you know. He said I have to come, not be mean and be really, really nice and celebrate Christmas with you." Ten explained as he crouched down to smile at Tae. "You did? Little badass." Yeah, maybe he shouldn't use that word around kids. Whatever. "And look at you, all fashionable. You're fierce, you're killing it."
Tilting his head back, Ten looked up at Hobi with a smirk. "By the way, he butt-dialled me by accident and left a forty minute long message in my inbox so ... you may not have minutes."
Jimin came running out, Jungkook behind them, all of them rushing to Ten. For some reason. "TEN! Did you get us anything?! Ten! What did we get?"
"Why." Hobi stepped back, since Ten was busy getting the children's admiration for some reason, shaking his head. Jungkook had clearly wanted to do him a favour, but he was unsure how favourable this would turn out to be. "Just let Ten take off his shoes and jacket, boys, yeah?"
Tae nodded and moved back, excitedly looking from Ten to Yoongi and back again. "Hyung, this is Ten-hyung! He is really funny! We showed him your videos. And Santa got me Gucci, Ten-hyung!"
"Hey." Yoongi waved, unsure what else to do or say, while Jin sighed and headed into the kitchen to get everything to set another place at the table.
"Woah, I'm not -- I'm not staying. I don't do Christmas. I've never celebrated it. Hence why I have no presents but myself." He slipped off his shoes and coat for now but no, he was not sticking around. Family? Kids? Urgh. Gross. He ruffled Tae's hair and then tried to move away from the children, wiping his hands on his pants. He paused in front of Yoongi and frowned, assessing him for a moment before it clicked who he was and how he knew him. From the video. "Oooh. Big dick."
"Ten! You -- You can't say that to him. Or with kids in the room!" Why? Why was this happening? "That's not what we want them to hear."
"Oh. Okay? Sorry." Ten wasn't sure how to make Namjoon stop glaring so he just kind of guessed what was wrong and attempted an apology, looking down at the kids. "Big dicks are fine, they don't make you a freak. We're all special in our own way. Body positivity is important."
"Oh my God, stop saying that word." Namjoon rubbed his temple and gave Hobi a look. Why was this the man he loved.
"No, you have to stay! Jungkookie wants it!" Tae wanted to make sure that would happen, so he turned around to the door and put the chain on. Ha! Only him and Namjoon knew how to undo it, since they lived here. Now they were all locked in and he had missed the big dick exchange, which Yoongi was very grateful for.
"...nice meeting you." Yoongi wasn't sure what else to say and Hobi stepped behind Ten, wrapped an arm around him casually and covered his mouth with his hand, leaning in to kiss his cheek.
Ten nodded and soon the hand was off so he could bow so very nicely, subtly brushing his ass against Hobi before moving forward to lean on one of the chairs, making distance. "I really can't stay, kids. Uncle Ten has to go and practise, practise, practise. I got a lot of work and Christmas doesn't stop that."
Jungkook came over and hugged Hobi's leg, looking up at him innocently. "Santa brought you what you wanted, hyung. You said you wanted to see Ten-hyung more and he came." And hopefully he'd stay.
"Ten-hyung is the bestest dancer in the world." Jimin informed Yoongi while Namjoon sighed and shook his head, leaning heavily on Yoongi and watching as the kids fawned over Ten for some reason. He had no idea why. Ten didn't like kids and he usually didn't play with them or humour them and yet, inexplicably, they loved him. "He showed me videos and he can dance all backwards like a monster!"
"Cool, cool. Love a good monster dance." Yoongi was slightly entertained by the awkwardness, but clearly Namjoon was suffering, so he reached up to pat the side of his face.
"You are staying for dinner, Ten," Jin informed him, clearly thinking that he could make that executive decision. "You never eat healthy by yourself."
"Ten-hyung is so silly, his is scared of fruit." Tae giggled, while climbing into his chair. He was hungry now!
"That's not silly, it's rational. I can't, it's just -- no."
"Once hyung made me a fruit salad and Ten-hyung had to leave the room." That was actually the first time any of them met Ten and what an introduction that was. He turned up late, in bondage gear, got scared of fruit and crawled out of the window when Hobi called him a boyfriend. It had never been normal with Ten.
Namjoon rolled his eyes, helping to finish off setting the table and Ten's place while the other awkwardly stood there, unsure what to do. "Just sit down, idiot."
"Rude." Ten huffed and then turned around instead to look at Tae. "You got Gucci on? Fancy boy. You're part of the Gucci gang now. Jiminie too. We can look good while everyone else suffers."
"Agust D is dressed really cool too!" Tae did love Ten, but with two of his faves in the same room, he had to make sure there would be an even distribution of admiration. Also, Yoongi was even cooler, cause he was on TV. "And my brother is his bae, so he can get all the clothes he wants!"
"Yeah?" Yoongi smirked, looking at Namjoon. "What clothes do you want, bae?" Hey, he was just curious.
"Ten looks so fancy and I am so hungry." Hobi sat down after stating those two possibly related facts and then turned so he could help Jungkook into his seat. "Are you hungry too, you little elf?" He would have to talk to him about using his phone like that.
"Finally got yourself a sugar daddy? Smart. That's a smart way to live. Props." Ten raised the empty class by him and held it up to Namjoon with admiration while the other blushed and buried his head in his hands.
"I don't, he's not! God. No." He turned his head to Yoongi and pouted. "I don't know where Tae gets these ideas but I'm inclined to blame Hobi and Ten."
Jungkook got into his seat and smiled at Hobi, very proud of himself for saving the day and helping Hobi not be lonely on Christmas. "Can you help me cut?" It was tricky, he wasn't good at it yet.
"Do you like Namjoon's bae?" Ten asked mock quietly, as if they were having a super secret conversation. Namjoon couldn't help but watch, honestly curious. Did he? He knew he worshipped him but did he like him?
"Yes! He makes it so Namjoonie-hyung isn't lonely! And he made it warm! And he made him go to the hospital, which was scary, but he needed to! And he helped me buy gifts for my friends! And he doesn't tell me to shut up! And--" Tae had to cut himself off, since he was out of breath from all the yelling, which was also what made him realise that he had been yelling, so he switched to whispering - still pretty damn loud. "He's nice."
Yoongi mouthed 'nice' to Namjoon, while Jin started passing out food and Hobi helpfully started cutting for Jungkook, as well as actually fixing a few bites for him. He was still little after all.
"You know I'd be your sugar daddy in a heartbeat, but my company actually likes the work you do, so I don't think they'll let me just pay you for free." Yoongi said it regretfully, but with a smile. He really, really was hoping that Namjoon could maybe quit his other jobs soon.
