Happy birthday zaddy namjooon!!!

-----

It was finally time for yoongi to start school. He had his hair freshly cut, new clothes on, and a fancy backpack as they waited for the school bus to pull up. Yoongi was smiling so big and seokjin was just so proud of his big boy. He wasn't necessarily sad, he was just so happy that yoongi was excited and ready to learn. Yugyeom and bambam had pinky promised that they would help yoongi as much as they could. So now they were waiting, hoseok was asleep in his mama's warm embrace and namjoon was giving yoongi a nice pep talk. Of course the parents were wary that yoongi would get lost or something but over time their worries disappeared slightly. They would always worry but they knew that he would be in good hands.

Namjoon wanted yoongi to be comfortable, he's seen stories about kids who are forced to quit things they like because their parents want them to do something else. Seokjin always made sure the kids knew that they could play and wear whatever they wanted. If yoongi wanted a baby doll, he would get one. If hoseok grew up and wanted to wear a dress then he could. Namjoon and seokjin never wanted to limit their kids, they always made sure to tell them that they would always be supported no matter what. If yoongi wanted to do ballet then he would with his parents full support.

And yoongi understood, somewhat. He knew that his parents loved him and hobi. He knew that they supported him so he didn't feel scared about going to school. He knew that his parents loved him, so he had an open mind. He wanted to learn and try new things, he wanted to make new friends.

The small bus slowly made its way into their small neighborhood and then stopped in front of their home. The bus driver, a kind looking old man, tipped his hat at the parents. Yugyeom and bambam kissed jinyoung before running into the bus. Yoongi kissed his parents and pecked his sleeping brothers forehead. Seokjin squeezed him extra tight and handed him his lunchbox. Namjoon walked yoongi to the bus doors.

"Remember you can always call us if you don't feel good or something, and we'll be here waiting for you at 3:30," seokjin reminded him. Yoongi gave them a thumbs up before finding a seat. Since most of the kids who attended that school lived in the city, the 3 boys were the only ones who had to use the bus.

"Love you!" seokjin blew his son a kiss as the bus pulled away and towards the small school.

"Why am i crying?" seokjin chuckled at his husband who was getting teary eyed.

"And i thought i was gonna be the one that cried, get to work mister," namjoon kissed his husband and sleeping son and then made his way to his truck.

"You wanna hang out?" jinyoung startled awake. He was in his robe and pajamas, he hated waking up early to send the kids to school. Jinyoung only nodded slowly and followed seokjin.

"This is gonna be a long day."

The day felt like it was dragging on forever. It felt weird not having yoongi around, the house was so quiet and hobi was very whiney. He would look at seokjin with those big glassy eyes as if he was asking "where's hyung?" he'll admit he was starting to get a little paranoid. His eyes couldn't help but check the time every five seconds it seemed. He just couldn't help but wonder if yoongi was comfortable, if he made friends, if he was feeling shy.

"I don't know how you live like this!" seokjin had been steadily cleaning the same plate for 5 minutes now.

"It's literally been an hour please control yourself," ok so maybe seokjin was exaggerating.

"Ok you're right i just... i don't know," seokjin took a deep breath and set the plate down. Yoongi was probably having the time of his life and here he was acting like the world was ending. He really thought he'd have himself together.
