Work Text:
Jeongguk, either little or not, has always been energetic. Today was just another day wherein he's bursting with too much energy he seemingly can't stop moving around.
When he woke up, he shook his Daddy awake, trying to get him to get up and play with him. One look at his baby and he already knew the drill.
First, they made pancakes for breakfast. Jeongguk was sitting on the countertop while Seokjin was mixing everything up for the batter, with the little occasionally sticking his fingers in the mixing bowl to lick it off of it.
"Bun, don't do that!"
"but it so tasty daddy,"
By the time they were done and the pancakes were decorated with tons of whipped cream and strawberry slices (courtesy of Jeongguk), both Seokjin and Jeongguk looks like someone threw flour at them, what with Jeongguk trying to add more powdered sugar to the mixture but failing to balance it on his one hand, "uh oh, daddy," and an exasperated but fond shout from Seokjin, "Ya, Gguk-ah! What did you do?!" .
Which is why they ended up with more pancakes than what was intended, Seokjin not wanting to waste food so he added more ingredients and now they might as well have a pancake party.
"Daddy, lookit me!"
Jeongguk, not caring about what mess it would cause, brought the whipped cream filled pancake to his face, to, Seokjin guesses, eat it whole, but obviously that wouldn't work.
"Honey, don't play with your food," Seokjin says with a chuckle.
"I not playing daddy, I eating!" as he picks up another one to stuff on his face.
And Seokjin, whipped as ever, picks his own pancakes up, also well decorated but with blueberries, and smears it on the little's cheek, earning him a very endearing laugh, one he reciprocates, eyes filled with love.
If someone would look at them in that moment, one could easily see the love dripping from both of them.

Second, bathtime.
And normally, Jeongguk hates bathing, but Koo loves it, all his rubber duckies swimming around him, the lavender scented bath bomb he loves, and of course, his daddy bathing him.
"Eyes closed, baby." Seokjin says gently. The boy was lost in his own world, making the floaties fight each other.
The older carefully rinsed off the bubbles in the boy's head, pinching his nose for a bit to make sure he didn't accidentally inhale any.
After, he let the boy soak in for a few minutes while he goes back to their room to fix what the little would wear for the day. He considers a onesie, but contemplates as it was too hot for him to wear those. He settles on cotton shorts and one of his shirts that he knew the boy loved wearing.
"Baby, let's go," he calls on the boy as soon as he gets back on the bathroom. The little was still making weird noises Seokjin could only guess as an imitation of a battlefield.
Koo gets up, and Seokjin makes sure to hold him well lest he slipped, and when he's out, he drains the tub before carefully wiping the boy down and wrapping him with his bright red towel.
"Come on, bun, let's get you dressed so you can play again, yeah?"
"Hmm, okay daddy. Thank you."

Third, playtime.
The sofas on their living room has now turned into a makeshift shield as Jeongguk wanted to play war. Seokjin brought out his fake guns, the ones that makes sounds that imitate those of machine guns. They have nerf guns, too, expensive ones, but nothing too expensive for Seokjin as long as the boys asks. (One time, when Jeongguk wasn't in headspace, he jokingly called Seokjin his sugar daddy, and well, let's not talk about what happened after.)
"Pepare for battle, daddy! I gonna con, conquer you!" Koo shouts from behind the sofa.
"You prepare, baby! Daddy's gonna come for you!" Seokjin goes along with their little play fight, never one to turn down his baby.
All that ensued were gun noises, Jeongguk imitating gun noises, and Seokjin-is-shot noises.
"I surrender to you, Prince Gguk! Daddy has no bullets left!" The older says, panting.
"Yay, I won!" Jeongguk shouted with glee. He rushes to get out of his shield, which is a wrong move because Seokjin has moved near him, so when he was out in the open, Seokjin tackles him into a hug and they both fell down in the carpeted floor, Jeongguk on top of Seokjin.
They both laughed at each other's faces.

Later, as they both get ready for bed, Jeongguk cuddled tight into Seokjin's side, his head resting on his daddy's shoulder, Jeongguk tells him how much he loves him, like he always does.
"Daddy?"
"Hmm?"
"You know you the best daddy to Koo, right? Koo loves you lots, daddy…"
"Daddy loves you just as much, bun,"
"Nuh uh, Koo love daddy big like the world!"
