"Will it always be like this?"

Jisung asked quietly as he watched
his husband tie his shoelaces,
not even sure if he had asked
Minho or himself that.

"It won't. He's just a baby, Sungie.
And maybe he didn't sleep well
so he's cranky now, who knows?
But he'll be fine and so will we be.
Once we're in the car, he'll sleep.
Babies always fall asleep in cars,
my mom said they'd always
drive me around when I
wouldn't fall asleep."

"If you say so.."

Jisung sighed and winced when
Minho took his hands to help him
stand up and pecked his
forehead gently.

But when Minho grabbed the car
seat and his husband's bag, the
brunette realized something.

"Min."

"Hm?"

"His pacifier, we should give
him his pacifier."

"Right, maybe that'll calm him.
Good idea, baby."

Minho placed his son back down
so he had his hands free to look for
the small orange pacifier
they had brought.

"It's okay, kitten.
Daddy's got you, here's your paci.
That's much better, hm?"

He smiled at his tiny son and
exhaled in relief when Akemi
immediately started to suckle
quietly, staring up at his daddy
with big innocent eyes as if he
hadn't just thrown a tantrum.

"You're lucky you're cute,
little cranky kitten."

The small family made their way
out of the hospital and to their car,
the baby car seat in Minho's one
hand and his other free arm
wrapped around his husband's
waist so he could support his
still recovering Jisungie.

They had covered their son's car
seat with a burp cloth so he could
still breathe but was hidden from
any curious eyes just how they,
themselves had put their masks
and hoods on again.

It looked a little weird considering
it was June but it was for
their protection.

"We should wait a moment so the
A/C can do its job, having a black
car surely has its disadvantages."

"You could have taken
my car though."

"No no, I want his first car ride
to be in my car."

"Whatever, if that makes you happy."

Jisung chuckled as he carefully
sat down and let his feet dangle
out of the car.

Meanwhile his husband had
opened the door to the back seat
so he could fix the baby car seat
after taking off the burp cloth.

Their tiny son was already dozing
off again, still suckling happily on
his pacifier and not really caring
about his whereabouts as long as
he could hear the familiar voices
of his parents.

And Minho couldn't help but stare
for a moment, his eyes sparkling
with pure adoration.

His son was laying there,
snuggled up so cutely under
his fluffy baby blanket with
his beautiful eyes closed.

He was just so cute and again
the ravenette had to remind
himself that this was real.

He was the daddy of this small
precious human there that he
already loved more than
anything in this entire world.

Their little kitten was really here now.

And Minho knew that he'd protect
his son at any cost, no matter what.

"Min?"

"Hm?"

"Everything okay with the kitten?"

"Yeah, it's just.."

He sighed softly as he smiled
before he carefully closed the
door and turned to his husband,
cupping the younger's cheek gently.

"He's perfect, Sungie.
Thank you so much."
