Work Text:
Felix is awake as soon as minho enters the nursery. The baby whimpers like he's been abondoned for decades and as much as it's adorable, it pains minho's heart. Even though he knows damn well chan has been with felix every second of the time minho was resting, keeping himself away not to make felix sick.
Minho walks to the crib and gently picks the baby up. He smiles at the way felix giggles immediately upon seeing him.
"Mama!"
"You little fraud"
Minho tickles him a bit with a soft smile but doesn't kiss him. Still aware of the remaining bits of sickness in his body.
"Dada put my baby to bed early? Yeah?"
"Yesh! Telled him no wanna..."
Minho nods along to felix's babbling as he sits down on the rocking chair with him in his arms.
"...and dada said lixie can't go see mama cause not feeling good and... and... lixie miss mama!"
"I know baby i missed you too but dada was right ok?"
Minho murmurs softly as he uncaps the warm bottle he brought along.
Felix pouts but doesn't take his bambi eyes off his mama, nor does he whine when minho lays his head on his arm and brings the bottle's tit to his mouth. He tilts the bottle gently and patiently, softly praising felix for being such a good boy all day.
Chan has told him all about it half an hour ago, when minho finally came out of their bedroom, his throat still sore but so much better than it used to be. The medicine, soup and lots of sleep he got did their job. They spent a few minutes just basking in each other's warmth before chan said good night and left for bed, having to wake up early for work tomorrow.
He has been sleeping but can swear he has heard little footsteps and whining before a hushing chan came and carried felix away from their bedroom door at least a few times. The thought makes him smile and hold the bundle of warmth in his arms tighter.
"Mama..."
Felix sighs sleepily blinking up at minho through wet lashes. Not even half of the bottle is gone but it's ok, chan must have fed him already. Minho just needed this out of habit. Both of them did.
"Wanna pway"
Felix says adorably, even though his eyes are hardly open.
"Tomorrow baby. Mama promises to play with you all you want."
"Bwocks and vroom vroom too?"
Minho chuckles, gently caressing the soft skin of felix's cheek as he nods.
Minho would kill for this boy, and it fills him with an incredible amount of love that he's sure chan would, too.
