Chapter Text
As Yoongi brushed his teeth he couldn't help but stare at the mirror. He looked behind him, just a glance and once again it set in just how alone he really was. Or at the least thought he was. After even the smallest taste of companionship while in this headspace was enough to get him addicted.
‘Yoongi how about you go brush your teeth? Or are you just gonna torture us all day with your morning breath? Jin had said, a slight teasing fakeness to his voice but caring enough for Yoongi to listen.
He felt a storm building inside him being alone here in this huge bathroom so far away from the others. He didnt wanna be alone, never ever. Has it been two minutes yet? Can he finally leave yet? Again he looks back at the mirror then spits the toothpaste into the clean pearly white sink, now covered in spit, toothpaste and blood. A lot of blood. Damn, how hard had he been brushing? Really hard apparently, he licked around his gums feeling his sharp teeth and the taste of metal intensified. Not very fazed, Suga tosses the toothbrush in the sink with childlike insouciance.
Why had no one come yet to get him? It feels like it's been forever. He opens the door slowly, peeking out. Somehow still scared even in his own house. The only safety all the way in the living room. Looking around again he stepped out and speed walked, almost falling a few times but recovering quickly. He needed his hyung’s now!

“I don't think it's that big of a deal let's just not bring psychiatrists into this okay?” V was starting to get irritated by how long this conversation was taking, even more annoyed when Jin started bringing up psychiatrists like this is something to be fixed.
“But why not? This isnt normal-its cute of course but it could mean a different underlying mental condition.” Jin took charge of the situation as always, well when Namjoon wasn't there anyways.
V had a different perspective on all this, talking from the heart rather than the brain, maybe that's how more people should start thinking. “Hyung he's just coping with his childhood, you know what it was like back then. He can finally heal now, be a kid right?!”
Jimin spoke up and agreed mindfully “I feel like your both right…but uh Tae is more right”
“Right abou’ wha?” Yoongi had finally made his way past the scary hallway to the big kitchen. If you looked closely you could slightly see his eyes glossing over with crybaby tears.
Jin was determined to do this right, to not fuck him up more than his parents did. The other two decided to observe for now as their hyung calmed the baby down.
Walking up to Suga and kneeling down to his level he said “Yoong’s are those tears in your eyes, don't you know that's the last thing I want to see? What's wrong ippeuni?”
Yoongi looked impossibly cute as he looked back at Jin then the floor repeatedly. Feeling shy now that he knew his bandmates knew his secret. Not to mention the tears making him feel weak, such a baby, only useless babies cry for no reason. “I-I uhm felt -lone..” His voice small with a slight shake to it. They strained to hear the words.
Jimin let out a suppressed ‘aw’ resisting the urge to just run over and cuddle him forever. Putting on a reassuring smile Jin soothed “Why would you feel alone when we’re all right here hmm?”
V finally out of patience stepped over, but still keeping his distance. He knew that he could be intimidating with his large stature, towering over Yoongi even when both were standing. His days in the gym more than paying off. Though he was starting to dislike the reactions from people, being scary wasn't his goal exactly. Looking down and taking a moment to speak
“You don't have to be scared of us not being here, we’ll always be here for our kitty!”
Yoongi’s eyes had long gone dry listening to his hyung’s, staring up at V wide-eyed and lips parted. “...I’m kitty” Whether it was a question or a statement, who knows, either way it was still adorable. The three members were in awe that the member they had known for so long had this side to him that somehow had been hidden for so long. His high-pitched baby voice had Jimin let out a small shriek of joy.
Jimin was undoubtedly the most outwardly excited about this new discovery. Stuck in this routine of dance practice and performing, he wanted someone to take care of, a child specifically. Yes he loved this group and performing his favorite songs but now at 25 he couldn't help but yearn for a family life.(Or maybe he just wanted a cute baby to look after) And now this way he could take care of a baby but not fulltime! It worked out perfectly in his head. Hopefully Suga doesn't end up pulling away due to embarrassment, but he knows that's what most likely will happen.
V can't contain himself any longer, moving over to Yoongi and pinching his cheeks fully baby talking “AW yes you are! You're my little baby kitty huh? So cute!”
Suga responded shocked at first but then his cheeks and neck turned an endearing pink. Twisting away he tried to stop the giggles that were bubbling up but it was no luck. He laughed more genuinely than he had in a while.
“Oh don’t be shy Suga, where's my baby's cute face?” Coaxing him out of his hiding spot that was the palms of his hands.
Jin looked over to Jimin as they watched the entire interaction. While Tae seemed fully distracted Jin whispered “Seems like they would be dating, but they're not.” Unserious but serious at the same time. Jimin takes a second to stare at the two then looks at him sporting a concerned look “Yeah I was thinking the same thing”

The little watched as the others talked amongst themselves about mostly things he couldn't seem to understand, his brain was so so fuzzy today. He could however make out some of the words and that was good enough for now. ‘Namjoon’ ‘cookies’ ‘sippy cups’ being the only ones he cared about at all right now.
“Cookies?” His little voice rang out through the air, tired of waiting, blah blah blah. At that the kitchen went quiet. Who knew such a small voice could silence a room?
“O-oh yeah! Okay yeah lets make cookies now!” Jimin rushed over to a cabinet to grab a big bowl, handing it to Yoongi for some reason. Then rushing over to the fridge, opening it and staring for a little too long. Jin watched in amusement.
“Wait what ingredients do I get first?”
Jin sighed/laughed “At least let me look up a recipe first before you ask me any questions!”
