Chapter Text
When Junmyeon, one of Minseok and Jongdae's closest friends, decides to introduce his boyfriend of six months a dinner is set up, courtesy of Minseok’s surprising cooking skills. Junmyeon walks in, his boyfriend Sehun right next to him and before he knows it Baekhyun is hugging his legs. He will never get used to his friends from college having a tiny human
“Hey uncle Myeon,” he somehow refuses to call him by his full name, “who is this other uncle?”
Tiny hand in a fist except for his index finger pointing at a tall blonde figure next to his currently second favorite uncle, as Baekhyun himself often announces, nevermind that he only has three and Yixing lives in China and Baekhyun only sees him once a year, Junmyeon won't get discouraged by that.
Jongdae laughs while his husband watches the cute interaction in front of him, ready to swoop in if his son scares off Junmyeon's boyfriend. No one can stand single mopey Junmyeon so it's best if they all work to keep this one around.
“Hi Baekhyunnie, this is uncle's boyfriend, remember how we talked about what a boyfriend is?”
“Well, duh, Joohyun has a boyfriend in class, I know what that is.” Baekhyun says, pure knowledge of dating spilling out of his pores. “So you hold his hand and you two share your lunch boxes.”
Jongdae is laughing harder, Minseok following along.
“Yes, that's it!” Junmyeon says, in all seriousness. “This is uncle Sehun.”
“Hello Baekhyun,” the tall blonde kneels to shake Baekhyun's hand, which he extended after remembering how his parents are always telling him to be polite.
“Hello mister, do you like dogs?” Baekhyun asks right away. “My uncle Kyungsoo has two dogs, he's my favorite uncle!”
Sehun eyes Junmyeon and laughs at his boyfriend's despair at not being the favorite uncle.
“Yes, yes I do like dogs, I even have one. His name is Vivi, do you want to see a picture of him?”
Baekhyun excitedly screams “Yes!!!” and then turns to Junmyeon to tell him something.
“I like him better,” he starts, “the last one said corgis were ugly and this one has a dog so you should marry him, uncle Myeon.”
Junmyeon turns into at least eight different shades of red and Minseok immediately calls for his son’s attention.
“Baekhyun, what did we say about telling people to get married?” He reprimands as Jongdae apologizes to Sehun, who in turns laughs loudly.
“I’m sorry,” Baekhyun smiles cutely while Junmyeon slowly returns to his regular shade.
Sehun pulls his phone out and Baekhyun makes a loud noise when he sees the fluffy white dog photo.
“This is Vivi, he's a cute guy who's 3 years old.” He announces to an attentive Baekhyun. “You're older than him so you have to promise to take care of him when you meet.”
“I will! Can we see Vivi now?”
The adults laugh at Baekhyun’s eagerness while Sehun promises him they can make arrangements soon because it's late and Vivi is asleep because he is a baby. Minseok and Jongdae have pure fondness in their eyes as their kid engages his newest uncle in a conversation about every dog he knows and how corgis are the best ones.
“Baekhyun, you have to eat your vegetables and let uncle Sehun eat his, you can talk more after dessert.” Jongdae says as he cuts a small piece of carrot for his son, who hasn't stopped talking even when there was food in his mouth, much to his parents chagrin.
Sehun doesn't seem to mind much and Minseok is thankful for it, because it gives him a chance to chat up Junmyeon.
“He seems nice, why did you hid him from us for six months?”
Junmyeon chews on his steamed broccolis way longer than necessary and Minseok laughs, knowingly.
“Ah, young love.” He says as Junmyeon stuffs more food in his mouth.
“I'm older than your husband,” Junmyeon says, while munching on a carrot, “and I'm not...what you're saying I am.” He knows Minseok already saw through him but he won't go down without a fight.
“Sure,” Minseok sneers, and then turns to Sehun before continuing, “So, Sehun, Junmyeon tell us you're currently working in fashion. We have a close friend who’s a photographer in China. Maybe you two know the same people because he does a lot of work here too, his name is Yixing and he…”
