“On your marks….. get set… GO!!”
“And in lane number one we have the first original crawler. He’s lean, he’s mean, he’s the crawling king Chun~ sook~!!”
“In the second lane we have the slow and steady but will always surprise you at the end of the day. The one that holds all the power in his thighs Soon~Bok~!!”
Jimin announces from his place standing on the couch using the remote as his microphone.
The living room was all messed up. Couches shifted back coffee table pushed against the fire place. Recliners moved to the corners. Giving the family a larger playing area. Or in their case a larger racing area.
The pups both finally learned to crawl and since then it has been constant living room races.
“I Hope you all placed your bets and have no regrets because this is going to be a close race. Chunnie takes the early lead fresh out of the hands! Soonie right behind him gaining steadily! It can be anyones race.”
Namjoon and jungkook are behind the pups cheering them on while Hoseok and Taehyung cheer them on at the finish line trying to get them to crawl faster by offering and shaking a cup of snacks and bottles of milk. The drooly smiles and little giggles from the pups have all of the alphas fawning over their precious pups.
“Why are they so loud?” Yoongi sighs as he continues to stir the pot on the stove preparing dinner.
Jin giggles over at his oldest hyung and his grumpiest alpha. He’s in charge of making sides but decides it’s a good time to give small kisses to his alphas neck to cheer him up a bit. The little grumbles and growls that come from him encouraged Jin to give little nips on the back of his neck.
“They are having fun and think of it. They are wearing down the pups. So they will sleep well tonight.” Jin goes back to finishing the sides so he can set the table and get the pups dinner ready.
“Soon bok is still gaining on Chun! Who’s race will it be!!” In jimins excitement of jumping around on the couch he accidentally lands on one of the kids soft toy animals, it makes a loud squeak which startled Jimin so much he stumbles over the arm rest and kicks the toy cat onto the open floor. Right in front of the pups.
Lots of yelling and complaining begins as the continuous squeak and rattle could be heard from the soft toy cats body. The baby mumbles and shakes the toy at one of his sires and namjoon scoots closer to have a serious debate and conversation with the pup. Lots of head shaking and baby squeals erupt in the living room.
“And it looks like Soon bok is the winner of the 25th annual baby crawl match. This was Jimin. Now reporting from the floor.. now if someone can bring me some ice that would be great.”
Taehyung throws the bottle at jimins arm and tells him to get his own ice as he stomps off to the kitchen grumbling that it was a rigged race.
Hoseok can’t stop laughing as he’s swinging Soon bok around making the pup giggle and gurgle out his thoughts.
Jungkook goes to help Jimin up setting him back on the couch. Still giggling himself at how the race went. “It’s okay hyung. We can have a rematch after dinner.” He pats jimins head and goes to help in the kitchen as well.
Taehyung is pouting with his face smooshed between jins shoulder blades mumbling how it was unfair and that Jimin cheated and everything about the races were rigged.
“What did you guys even bet this time?” Yoongi asks as he starts dishing out the food into bowls.
Jungkook starts grabbing the full dishes and heading towards the table. “It was feeding and bath times after breakfast for the next week.”
“Wait why is that so upsetting then Taetae?” Jin is confused and doesn’t understand why that would even be a good or bad bet.
“Oh my sweet baby. You haven’t been around for breakfast since we have been letting you sleep in. Breakfast time is now an event in and of itself.” Tae responds as he kisses his omega on the cheeks and sneaking a peck of the sweet lips.
“Soon bok hates sitting in his high chair now in the morning and if anything is on his tray he immediately throws it off.”
“Then! If Chun sees it he has to do it too but instead making it easier to clean let’s say we have a bowl of oatmeal on the tray, Chun doesn’t throw the entire bowl with the food he just sticks his hand in the food and throws it.”
“Sometimes at you or maybe it’ll be the table. Oh or one time he threw it across the room and hit namjoon with a clump of banana and it landed in his coffee.”
“Perfect shot!” Jungkook and tae go back and forth narrating breakfast activities for Jin and he stands there blinking and thinking how much he has missed just during breakfast alone.
“Oh and then! When you do start feeding them it’s a marathon to see how much you can get in their mouths without them spitting it out at you while blowing spit bubbles and babbling to you.”
“Personally think they got that from you baby” tae says in jins ear kissing his cheek and running from what he knows will be a jab at his ribs. He laughs as he avoids the sharp fingers aiming to hurt.
“It’s all very cute but very messy at the same time. Occasionally very sticky as well.”
“Yoongichi is any of this even true? My pups would never do such things. Tell them!” Jin pouts squeezing his alphas arm and shaking him. He gets a nuzzle to his cheek in return.
“Your pups are just as naughty as you are. So yes, everything they are saying is true. Sorry love. “ Yoongi whispers and leaves Jin to gape in the middle of the kitchen in awe and shock of learning this.
“Come on grab the pups it’s dinner time!” Yoongi yells out to the living room. He can hear the patter of socked feet come closer and soon the table is full of people and the two
Pups are set in high chairs in between the others.
The pups get fed jarred baby food nicely heated up still being spoon fed since hand and eye coordination isn’t 100% yet. Taehyung making airplane noises feeding soon bok and Jin making train noises saying “come on here comes the Chun Chun train” and making train puns at the tiny pup. Some of the alphas roll their eyes at the jokes but at least Jimin Hoseok and Taehyung find them funny! And until no one doesn’t find them funny, Which will be never! Jin will continue to do it.
“So Another match after dinner?” Yoongi brings up the crawling race again.
“Why are you finally interested yoongles?” Hoseok asks while eyeing the other alpha. He hasn’t participated in any of them so far so it’s very curious for him to start now.
“No just planning on who’s cleaning up the kitchen ‘and’ the living room. You all made it a mess so you’ll reset the furniture before going to bed tonight.”
“I’ll clean the kitchen up. Just let them have one last race before bed.” Jin tells Yoongi as he grabs a wet cloth and starts attempting to clean the sticky faces and hands of the twins. Namjoon helps by taking the trays and bibs and starts cleaning them to let them dry for the night.
“Yes! It’ll be the final race of the century place your bets now before it starts and you lose your chance to redeem yourself!” The narration from Jimin gets the table laughing again.
“No rigging the race this time! All toys have to be moved outside the living room! You can’t try and distract them!” Taehyung points an accusing finger across the table.
Jimin rolls his eyes and goes to pick up the living room to make sure everything is ready.
“I mean it jiminie!!” Tae yells as he picks up the table. Jungkook coming behind him to wipe it down.
The twins whine to get out of the chairs as they see everyone else getting up and doing other things. Worst of all excluding them! Yoongi and namjoon pick up the pups and head towards the living room to at least get out of the way for the cleaning crew. Hoseok comes behind to clean the high chairs and put them away for the night. They all move like a well oiled machine even more now. Besides for the wrench that get thrown in, in the mornings. For some reason that is the one meal that just can’t run smoothly.
Jin begins washing all the dishes and setting them in the drying rack while everyone else heads to the living room. He can hear the commotion and chaos of the alphas. The squeals from the pups as they try and join the conversation. Is this what happiness is? Hearing the joy and excitement of his pack he can’t wait to join them when he’s done.
“We are back again on the living room track. We have cleared the field of all distractions. We have Taehyung holding a very chatty and sticky soon bok in lane number one. We have namjoon holding a very wiggly full of energy Chun sook in lane number two. At the finish line we have Yoongi and Hoseok with the prizes. The most coveted bedtime milk! It’s anyones race once again folks!” Jungkook watches from the side lines. Sat on the coffee table which gives him prefect view of the pups and Jin still standing at the sink.
“The pups are ready and we are set… GO!! The pups are released! Soon bok takes the lead!! He’s a little unsteady and looks like he’s going to lay down.. he needs s breather. He’s licking the floor… umm okay! He’s back up! Chunnie is right behind him! He’s reaching out for his brother! And.. Chunnie no! Don’t bite your brothers foot!” Namjoon and Taehyung have to pull the pups off each other and try to start the race again. They are almost to the coffee table when Jin walks in sitting next to jungkook and leaning against the alpha.
“As they make their way to the finish line Chunnie is coming up to first place! And Soon.. soonie is changing directions.. and well this race is over..” Jimin chucks the remote on the couch watching as the pups crawl to their dam. Jin starts sweet talking to his pups as he pulls them up on his lap and starts scenting them. Telling how good at crawling they are now and how fast they are his little racers.
“So.. do we put Jin on breakfast duty since he cost everyone the race?” Taehyung asks the group. Namjoon throws a pillow at him and tells him to start putting the living room back together.
“I’d like to see how my pups are supposedly so naughty at breakfast time anyways. I’ll take responsibility for tomorrow morning but someone has to wash them tonight. They are still sticky from the sweet potato’s.” Jin voices as he bounces the pups on his legs.
“But they smell just as sweet as them too huh my babies. And I bet you taste just as yummy.” Hoseok says and he picks up one of the pups pretending to eat his full tummy.
“They will attract bugs with how sweet they smell. Off to the bath! Jungkook grabs the other and they head to the tub.
Jimin runs the mop over the hardwood floor getting the bits of baby slobber off the floor and sticky finger prints off. Jin helps move the coffee table back as everyone else shifts the furniture.
“We really should just have a room with no furniture for this. I’m tired of moving the couches.” Jimin plops back on the couch.
“Or, you know, you can just pretend it’s a course with obstacles and not move the furniture around. Or stop betting and racing my pups.” Jin retorts as he lays against jimins side. Snuggling in to the warmth.
“Oh! We should get a checkered flag and an actual finish line! Make it the real deal!” Taehyung says as he lays across yoongis thighs.
“Why not Set up a camera for the photo finish while you’re at it.” Yoongi throws in as a joke.
“That’s perfect! I have one somewhere in the room let’s see what they have online. Do you think they have actual baby racing competitions? Our pups would win for sure.” Tae starts immediately browsing the internet for such things.
When they wrap up their night set the pups in their cribs as they quickly pass out from their long day and full bellies, everyone retreats to the nest for a good nights rest.
The smell of cooking bacon and something sweet. Pancakes? Maybe. Enter the alphas senses. They slowly get up and ready to head into the busy kitchen. Jin is standing at the stove. Plates of eggs, bacon, pancakes laid across the counter. The pups in their high chairs nibbling on some dried cereal as they watch their dam work.
“Jinnie?? How?” Someone voices out.
“I told you. My pups aren’t naughty. Hm~ he says as he nuzzled the content pups. Still happily munching away.
“They didn’t put up a fight? How did you put food on their trays and it’s not all over the floor and kitchen?”
“This is sorcery.”
“Witchcraft”
“No it’s favoritism” Yoongi grumbles as he makes his way to the fresh pot of coffee.
“Can you at least tell us how so we don’t have to clean mushy food from places it shouldn’t be in The future?”
Jin continues to flip pancakes and looks like he’s seriously debating about it.
“Nope.”
“What?!”
“Why not?!”
“This is unfair”
“Because.” Jin says with a wink towards his alphas.
“Breakfast is ready. Eat up.” He directs towards the counters and pushes the high chairs towards the tables. The pups finding the ride hilarious as they giggle and babble towards each other.
Breakfast goes off without a hitch. The pups staying cleaner than ever before. Jin sits and smirks back as he receives glares from the confused group of alphas.
The next day the alphas try again.. Jin waking up to a bathroom of grumbling alphas trying to wash food off their faces and changing shirts. Another bathroom of splashing pups and more grumbling alphas as they pull bits of food from the pups hair.
In the kitchen a single grumbling Yoongi is scrubbing away at a mess Jin has never seen the likes of. He falls to the floor howling in laughter. Crying from how different 24 hours ago how clean everything and everyone was.
Even a glare from his grumpy Yoongi couldn’t stop his laughter.
From then on Jin was no longer allowed to sleep in for breakfast. He never saw or understood why the pups did what they did if he wasn’t there, but it was still hilarious to him.
The pup races went to full on waddling races when they learned to stand. Thé bêts never ending. Someone always screaming rigged if one of the twins fell.
The waving of the checkered flag always the signal of the end of the pups race for the day.
