bedtime💕

currently, minho and his husband jisung were cuddled up in front of the tv.

the pair were appreciating the small bit of peace they got of an evening, since the newest addition to their family.

their daughter, minji, was now six years old. though, that didn't mean jisung and minho had quite mastered the art of putting minji to bed and her staying there.

as a few hesitant taps sounded on the stairs, minho and jisung's attention was brought away from the tv.

"papa?"

jisung smiled as he felt minho shuffle underneath him.

honestly, the younger male had been close to falling asleep and was glad that minho had been the one to get called.

"yes, baby." minho mumbled as he carefully lifted jisung's head from his lap and stood up. "i'm coming."

jisung cuddled back down into the couch, deciding to leave the show paused until minho's return.

"minji," minho began as he followed his daughter into her bedroom. "you really should be asleep by now, sweetheart."

the girl whined as she flopped onto her bed, her stuffed elephant under her arm.

"i knowww," she spoke, albeit muffled into the covers.

minho sighed with a fond smile as he walked over and lifted her up from her front.

after setting her against her headboard, he helped her under the covers.

"then what's wrong, hmm?" he hummed quietly. "are you too hot? too cold?"

"no," minji shook her head as she fiddled with minho's fingers in her own two small hands. "want you and appa with me."

the man couldn't help but chuckle as he moved forward to place a soft kiss on his daughter's head.

"i understand, darling, but bedtime means you have to sleep on your own."

"but why!?" minji pouted as she stared up at her father, managing to see him with the small lamp she'd kept turned on. "you get to sleep with appa! i'm all alone!"

her father shook his head as he shuffled closer to her, softly patting her hair before speaking.

"that's because your appa is scared of the dark. you, however, are brave enough to sleep by yourself."

it wasn't a complete lie as jisung wasn't scared of the dark per-say.

it was more so the fact that he hated sleeping alone now he'd gotten so accustomed to falling asleep in his lover's arms.

even when the pair were in college, minho would have to cuddle jisung to sleep and silently slip away to finish the tasks jisung wouldn't let him beforehand.

he never did quite grow out of his clingy nature. besides, minho fell for it every time.

"but you get to cuddle appa too!" minji protested. "i wanna cuddle you and appa."

"you're not alone, baby!" minho lifted up her stuffed elephant as he lightly tilted it side to side. "you have your elephant that uncle hyunnie and uncle lixie gave to you!"

minji couldn't help but smile as minho made the elephant kiss all over her face before snuggling it up against his daughter's cheek.

"if you don't cuddle elmo, he's going to be sad!"

"hmmm." minji twisted her lips, letting out a soft laugh as she cuddled down into her pillow with elmo held tightly to her chest. "i stay here with elmo."
