"Really, baby?" Minho gasped as Felix continued babbling to himself, obviously feeling littler than normal.

The young Australian had been having a pretty tough time recently, what with all the rumours about him being bisexual spreading like wildfire and making him feel unwelcome in his own skin, but his fellow members always knew how to cheer him up.

None of them had ever seen Felix this little before, but none of them could complain when he was just so darn cute. He was currently sitting on the living room floor, trying to fit both of his small fists into his mouth while he babbled away to Minho, who was currently in charge of looking after the little.

"Come here, little one," the dancer cooed, picking Felix up from under his armpits and sitting the younger boy down on his lap.

Felix immediately welcomed the warmth from the older male, resting his head on Minho's chest as he gurgled happily to himself.

"Hyunjin?" Minho called out, looking over his shoulder for the younger male who had just emerged from the kitchen. "When will Chan-hyung be back? I think Lix is getting restless."

"Baba," the little suddenly spoke from Minho's lap, both males older than him looking down at the boy.

"What's that baby boy?" Hyunjin asked softly, kneeling down next to Minho.

"Baba!" Felix exclaimed again, and Hyunjin pulled his phone from his hoodie's pocket.

'Baba' was Felix's nickname for Chan whenever he was feeling too little to say 'Daddy'. Normally, Felix would be ok without Chan for a few hours if he had the other members to keep him company, but all nine of them had learnt from past experiences that when Felix started calling out Chan's nickname (whether it be 'Baba' or 'Daddy') that they should ring Chan immediately if he was away.

Sometimes, Felix got clingy for one person and one person only, and usually it was Chan. Hitting the 'call' button, Hyunjin put the phone on loudspeaker and waited for Chan to pick up.

"Hello~" The Australian male sang once he'd answered the phone, and Felix gasped loudly.

"Babaaa!" He squealed, crawling off of Minho's lap and looking around the room frantically for Chan. When he couldn't find him however, Felix sat back on his haunches and let his bottom lip tremble as tears filled his eyes.

"No, no, baby. Don't cry," Minho cooed softly. "Baba's on the phone, darling."

Felix looked up at Minho with big, teary eyes before back at Hyunjin and the phone in the older male's hand.

"Aww, does my baby miss me?" Chan asked from over the phone, and Felix's face lit up again at the sound of Chan's voice.

"Baba!" He exclaimed excitedly, clapping his hands and giggling.

Chan chuckled from the other line, finding every little thing Felix did cute even if he couldn't see him.

"Hi, sweetheart," he greeted softly. "Baba will be home very soon, ok, prince?"

For some unknown reason, Felix brought both of his tiny fists up to his mouth, giggling as he tried to press both of his hands into his mouth.

"Ah-ah, baby, we don't chew on hands," Hyunjin scolded so softly that it couldn't even be called a scolding as he reached over to remove Felix's hands from his mouth.

"He's chewing on his hands?" Chan asked over the phone, a slight snicker in his voice.

"Well, not chewing," Minho answered, standing up to get a dummy from the top shelf above the TV. "I just think he's really excited to hear your voice. Felix, baby, look at me."

Felix did look up at Minho, and made grabby hands for the green comfort item in his hands. When Minho gave him the dummy, Felix gurgled happily and Chan cooed.

"Baby boy?" He asked, shuffling around the studio. "Baba's coming back now, ok, sweetie? And when Baba gets back, we can cuddle all night. How does that sound, baby?"

"I think he would really like that," Hyunjin chuckled as Felix clambered into his lap, obviously starting to feel a bit sleepy. "He's feeling particularly cuddly right now, Chan, so you might catch him in his prime."

Chan let out a hearty chuckle on the other side of the phone, one that made Felix himself giggle even though he had no idea what was going on.

"Good boy," Minho praised as he stroked Felix's blonde hair. "Shall we get him ready for bed, or do you think we should let Chan-hyung do that?"

Hyunjin looked up at the clock, pursing his lips in thought.

"Let Chan do it," he answered. "I think he's missed baby Felix."

Hyunjin couldn't have been any more right when he said that Chan had missed baby Felix. The moment the leader stepped through the door to their dorm, he was all over the very sleepy Felix, picking him up and peppering his face with kisses, much to Felix's delight.

"Baba!" He squealed, now very awake as he bounced in his caregiver's arms.

"Hi, beautiful," he cooed softly, smiling so damn hard at the look of pure happiness on Felix's face. "Do you want to get ready for bed, love?"

Despite not being able to fully understand, Felix nodded enthusiastically. He wanted whatever his Daddy wanted, and was happy to do what Chan wanted, even if it was to cut the day short.

"Good good boy," Chan praised, kissing Felix's forehead. "You're such a good boy, Lix. Come on, baby, let's get you ready for bed."

Chan struggled getting Felix ready for bed, the little being so excited to see his caregiver that every time Chan tried to get him dressed, Felix would just end up kicking his feet about. Obviously, he wasn't trying to hurt Chan - he was just very energetic now that Chan was here.

"Baby, shhh~" he shushed gently, knowing that a few of the other members would probably be sleeping right now. "Shhhh~"

He pressed a finger to his lips, and Felix did the same (sort of). The smaller blonde brought one of his small fingers up to face and giggled quietly, starting to suck on his thumb when his daddy smiled warmly at him.

"Come on, baby," Chan whispered. "Sleepy times now, yeah?"

Felix reached out for Chan and the blonde picked him up from the bed, sitting down on the edge of the mattress and letting Felix sit on his lap. The younger boy began playing with the material of Chan's t-shirt, and Chan was completely enamored by the fact that Felix loved him so much.

Obviously, Chan felt the same way, but he couldn't understand sometimes why Felix was so attached to him. Nonetheless, Chan's heart always filled with such fondness when he got to watch Felix fall asleep in his lap, small hands reaching for his daddy's bigger ones.

Chan was so whipped it physically hurt.
