Chapter Text

Hot liquid was spreading inside his lower abdomen and he instinctively parted his legs while he grunted. He thought it was a dream so he placed his arm over his eyes as if he was trying to ignore it but felt a little hand touching his inner thigh and he opened his eyes slowly, sleepiness still making it hard to process his surroundings. He felt disoriented as he peeked at the digital clock and realised his alarm didn't go off at the right time; he would have jumped out of the bed if jolts of pleasure wouldn't have spiked through his body and he wouldn't have realised his boyfriend was hiding under the blanket.

He lifted the covers slowly and found a rosy-cheeked Jimin who was struggling to take his morning wood inside his mouth. He looked like a cat who's been caught doing something it wasn't supposed to do and smiled around the shaft before moaning and sliding further down onto it. The tattoo artist relaxed against the soft pillow and closed his eyes, knowing that looking at his baby would have made him cum immediately. His hand searched soft strands he could gently pull on and more moans followed after that, vibrations taking him higher. He loved the way the velvety tongue of his lover would curl against his underside and felt more precum gushing inside the hot cavern closed around him.

"'m close." He mumbled and began to buckle his hips so he would meet Jimin halfway, not surprised that the boy chose to swallow. His boyfriend was a personified wet dream, tears gathering in his eyes as he struggled to do his best job at offering pleasure. He gulped as soon as semen spurted down his throat so he wouldn't choke and took the softening erection out of his mouth before licking his lips. The whole thing wore him out so he rested his head on one of Jungkook's thigh, his hot breath falling irregularly on warm skin.

He looked like a kitten so the elder cooed at the image before leaning so he could cup his cheek lovingly, grasping his attention. Jimin rested his head on one of the strong thighs he was in between and closed his eyes, drowsiness making his eyelids heavy. A little sigh left his body so the elder cooed at the image, his hand slowly running through the pink softness as he tried to convince himself that ten more minutes spent in bed weren't going to hurt.

"Come here, kitten." The boy moved guided by the sound of the warm voice, his eyes still closed as a proof of his unmistaken devotion and trust. He yawned as soon as he was hugged gently and felt soft lips searching for his forehead, encouraging him to let himself fall asleep once again. He woke up when he felt the bigger body pulling away and he mumbled some protests when Jungkook tried to lull him back to sleep.

They showered together before having breakfast so by the time they were making sure there was no pancake left, Jimin was fully awake, his legs dangling as he sat on his boyfriend's lap. It was a difficult position when it came to eating but he wouldn't have had it any other way and the man was willing to grant his every wish. He was feeling vulnerable and he was smart enough to have realized over the past months that it was the clue that he was in headspace or somewhere very close to it. Jungkook didn't seem to mind that he has been called "Daddy" the entire morning but he was acting extra carefully.

"Do you have any classes today?" Jimin shook his head and licked his syrupy lips.

"I need to finish this – uhm." He grabbed a napkin to clean his fingers. "Book." He could have gone back to his place to do that but a part of him wanted to stay close to his boyfriend, not that he had a choice. He knew the tattoo artist had a busy day so he wasn't going to suggest anything.

"Is Taetae home, angel?" Jungkook asked before helping him wipe his mouth, one arm safely locked around his middle. He frowned at the piece of information, unsure how he was supposed to feel about it. He couldn't skip work but he felt like leaving his baby alone wouldn't be the smartest choice so the only solution that came into his mind was something he never tried before. "Do you think you'd be able to read at the parlour?"

"Where you work?" Jimin's eyes widened and Jungkook grinned.

"Yes, baby. Where I work." The pink haired boy turned around so he could bury his face into the other's neck.

"I don't think Yoongi-hyung wants me there, Daddy."

Jungkook kissed the top of his head and pulled him even closer.

"Hyung won't mind you spending time there, silly boy." Jimin pulled away so their eyes could meet as if he was trying to make sure that his words were true. "Pinky promise."

The mint-haired tattoo artist greeted them warmly as soon as they stepped inside the parlour, a huge iced Americano placed on his desk beside the sketches he was still working on. Namjoon looked sleepy on his chair, his glasses near the tip of his nose as he turned the pages of a catalogue, probably searching for something. The literature student felt out of place and for the first time began regretting his choice of clothes, his pink fuzzy sweater standing out; he tried to remember the words Jungkook used to compliment him as soon as he saw his outfit and followed the man towards the familiar corner, shyly placing his holographic backpack on the floor.

"No, peach. You can take Daddy's desk today." He had most sketches done so he was sure he could make it without needing to sit down and take his lover's space. "Do you want some tea? The first appointment is in half an hour."

"'s okay, thank you." Jimin was obviously feeling shy so the elder squatted in front of him and placed both his hands on his knees.

"Don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything, okay?" The pink-haired boy nodded and pulled at the hem of his sweater. "I promise you you're not bothering anyone." Jungkook continued and got up so he could press his mouth on an infinitely softer one before explaining that he needed to look for the drawings he executed for the first client.

It was a girl who wanted a floral pattern so he made sure to have a few alternatives for it, wanting her to be satisfied with his work. He smiled as he watched his boyfriend grabbing everything he needed and placing them on the desk in an almost calculated manner, making sure not to make too much of a mess. He had a notebook, highlighters and some glittery pens that were placed in a panda pencil case, all of them used for taking notes and making sure he didn't skip important paragraphs. Jungkook was watching the whole process with so much fondness that he didn't realize when the girl he was waiting for entered the shop.

"I have an appointment." She chirped when Yoongi asked if he could help. "I'm here to see Jungkook."

"Welcome." He stepped in and made a sign for her to come closer, not missing the way her cheeks colored as soon as their stares met. "Ready?"

Jimin was curious but he tried not to be obvious when he turned to look at the client, surprised by the image he met. The girl was platinum blonde and had a very nice figure that was revealed as soon as the brown-haired man grabbed her jacket in order to put it away. She was wearing a crop top that was revealing a belly button piercing and he flinched when saw Jungkook resting a palm on her waist, trying to guide her towards the tall black chair.

"I have a few sketches so all you have to do is pick one. If you don't like any of them I'll draw another one, of course." He sounded professional but it was clear he was meaning to keep some friendliness in his tone, probably in order not to scare her away. She fell in love with one of the drawings as soon as he laid her eyes on it.

"This is perfect. You draw so beautifully!" Jungkook showed his signature bunny smile.

"Thank you. I'll get the stencil ready." The girl didn't move from her place, her eyes curious to take in the unfamiliar surroundings. Her blue eyes (she had contacts on) met Jimin's browns for a second and the latter hurried to go back to his novel even if he knew that he wouldn't be able to ignore the interaction his boyfriend was going to have with the stranger. She was very pretty so the thought of Jungkook's hands searching her skin made his insides shift uncomfortably but he tried to remind himself that it was his job and that he shouldn't be irrational.

"You want it on your ribs, right?" The elder's voice startled the both of them.

"Yes, curling under my breast."

"We should place the stencil, then." That was the sign that she should undress and Jimin's pulse became deafening when he understood that the girl was going to be completely bare under the artist's stare and touch. Her breasts were round and (probably) the definition of tempting so he gulped when Jungkook positioned the drawing the way she wanted it and guided her to the mirror. "You can cover yourself if you want to."

It was clear that the brown-haired man was not feeling comfortable but the girl looked like she wanted to devour him, unsatisfied with the idea of having her nipples covered. Jimin realized he was staring so tried to bury himself into work, desperately struggling to concentrate on the chapter he was close to finish. He jumped surprised when he felt a hurried kiss on top of his head and smiled when he saw Jungkook was grabbing a fresh pair of black gloves from one of the drawers. He felt like it was his boyfriend's way of reassuring him.

"It will definitely take more than two hours." He announced the client and pulled the tattooing machine closer, trying to sit comfortably on his own chair. He tried to make small talk until he understood that the girl had a high pain tolerance and that she wasn't going to faint or have him stop the process too many times. It was only human to give her a break when being halfway through but until that time came he was keen on keeping his lining perfect.

He was not very talkative because he was so focused on his task so he mostly gave short answers to everything the girl was asking, his eyes never turning away from his work. It was fascinating to watch him but Jimin tried to be good and finish what he had to do for uni, knowing that the sooner he was going to be done, the more time he would have to spend with his boyfriend. During the ten-minutes break Jungkook announced he was going to grab some coffee and came back holding a cup that had cats all over it that was placed next to the younger's notebook. It was filled with sweetened tea.

"Thank you."

"I'll tell you a secret." The man leaned so their face would be close and he could whisper. "This is Yoongi's cup. Hoseok bought it for him because he thinks hyung acts like a cat." He giggled at the comparison but had to agree with the theory, the similarities obvious.

He would have asked for a kiss if he wouldn't have been so shy and regretted he didn't do so as soon as the tattoo was done and he heard the little chat that followed.

"Thank you so much!" The girl sounded one hundred percent satisfied with the results but also relieved that the pain was done. The skin was looking reddish and Jimin wondered if it was normal for fresh tattoos to look like that – it probably was. She grabbed her purse to pay the artist but hesitated when it came to offering the money, her teeth biting on her lower lip furiously.

"Jungkook-oppa…" It was clear what was going to follow and the called one tried to avoid the situation by pretending he didn't hear the almost begging tone but failed. "Would you like to have coffee with me sometime?"

"I'm afraid I have to refuse." The man was trying to fake serenity and he was glad that the subject was not pushed further because he had no idea how to explain his unwillingness better. It was rare for clients to act like that and he didn't want to know how the whole thing made Jimin feel so as soon as the intruder left he checked the time and headed towards his baby who was underlining a whole paragraph. It was clear that his head wasn't completely into it and thankfully, he had enough time to make him feel better. "Hey, angel. How's it going?"

"Okay." The student replied, not tearing his gaze away from the yellowish page. Jungkook caressed his slightly arched back in order to catch his attention.

"Did she make you feel uncomfortable?" Jimin didn't expect such a forward confrontation so he dropped the marker he was holding and turned around so their browns would meet. No answer came so the tattoo artist sighed. "She did, didn't she?" The student was picked up only to be cuddled on a warm lap. "I'm sorry. Daddy felt awkward too." He chuckled and kissed his temple sweetly.

"I saw that." He didn't sound convinced by what he was saying though so Jungkook peppered his face with kisses until he heard crystal-clear giggles. He had an appointment for a small tattoo before they could go somewhere and have lunch but it was obvious that the pink-haired boy didn't feel like reading anymore.

"Would you like to color my unused sketches?" He had a lot of drafts he didn't use and he knew that his boyfriend could use some relaxing. Jimin nodded almost imperceptibly but gasped happily when he saw how many complex drawings were offered to him.

"Can I keep them?"

"Of course you can, kitten." They were a great team so until the following client came in they worked together on a butterfly, making sure to make it as rainbowy as possible. The tattoo Jungkook needed to do was stupider than he imagined – the name of that man's girlfriend – but he chose not to give his opinion, realizing it was not worth the while. He was halfway through it when he saw Jimin left his place and headed towards Yoongi who was drinking his second black coffee of the day.

He was surprised to find his boyfriend staring at models of piercings, his eyes widened cutely with curiosity.

"These look pretty." He whispered and pointed towards the page with the helixes. "Do you do piercings too?"

"No, I'm the only one." Yoongi mumbled before taking another gulp of his cold drink. "Are you thinking about getting one?"

"Da –" He stopped in order to reformulate. "Kookie has a lot of them." Jungkook chuckled because he didn't feel like seven were a lot but sat beside his boyfriend, wrapping an arm around him.

"I have more than your Daddy has, Min." Yoongi smirked and revealed both his ears where plenty of holes were put on display, some of them without earrings. "I think a helix would look good on you."

"Hey, don't try to corrupt him."

"He's not corrupting me." Jimin protested and pouted without realizing. "I really like this one."

"Let's have matching piercings." The brown-haired man suggested while putting his bunny grin on display, much to the other two's surprise.

It was a cute idea and Jimin's cheeks dusted with pink at the realization that he would have something that would always connect them. He whispered a shy "I'd really like that" and smiled when he was told he should choose the kind of earring he would like. He chose two simple rings that were made of rose-gold and giggled because of the enthusiasm he was feeling as soon as he made Yoongi understand the place in which he would like to have them done. Jungkook already head a piercing in the cartilage of his right ear so he looked natural with another one but Jimin needed it to be perfect so he needed a few minutes to make sure it was right.

"Take your time, we don't have to do it today if you're not sure." The taller man reassured him as he was watching his reflection in the mirror.

"I want to." He protested and turned around to tell Yoongi that he was ready. It hurt more than he expected but his fingers remained intertwined with longer ones during everything. As soon as he saw Jungkook having his done the sting faded away, replaced by the happiness of having something they shared. His face hurt from smiling so widely so he thanked their hyung with a warm hug before listening carefully to the instructions he had to follow.

"It suits you well, little one." Their lips found each other before they headed out for lunch due to everyone disapproving with their PDA. Before they returned they managed to get lost into a toy store so Jimin was holding a stuffed giraffe when they stepped back inside the parlour, his hand grasping on it like on dear life.

"Can I sleep at -" The pink haired boy gulped. "At your place, Daddy?"

"Always, sweets." Jungkook answered with no hesitation and kissed the tip of his nose. "Let's watch Finding Nemo tonight." It sounded like a perfect plan so Jimin nodded hurriedly before promising he will be good. He needed no motivation beside the fact that he was going to fall asleep into Jungkook's arms.

Jimin would have never imagined he would volunteer to do anything. It was not because he didn't want to help causes but because he was too anxious whenever he had to meet new people and projects usually involved a lot of that. Being a reading volunteer was different, though, and he was very proud of himself for not turning the offer down when one of his teachers suggested that to him.

He started reading stories to kindergarten children every Sunday in a public library and he absolutely adored his audience. They were mostly very polite and well-behaved children and reading simple stories that involved lessons gave him satisfaction because he usually had to spend an extra hour answering questions. He was melting whenever some little human called him hyung and it wasn't rare for them to ask if he was going to keep reading stories for them every week because it was one of the things they were looking forward to.

"Jimin-oppa." He recognized Eun-Ae's voice immediately so he bent to face the tiny girl who was shyly patting her knee-length skirt, making sure it was looking pretty.

"Yes, Eun-Ae?"

"Will you come and read next Sunday too?" A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he raised his pinky so he could offer it to the child in front of him.

"Pinky promise." She was one of his favourites. It might have been because she reminded him a lot of himself as a child or maybe because there was a certain gentleness about her. Her mother once asked him for a minute so she could explain how much happiness his reading sessions were bringing her daughter and ever since he never had the heart to even think about quitting. Eun-Ae's parents were going through a divorce and he wanted to do the best he could to keep her in high spirits, even if it was for only a few hours.

"I asked my mommy if I can paint my hair pink when I grow up." A little giggle caused for his smile to widen. "So we'd match because oppa is the best!"

"I'm not the best, Eunie." He tried to convince her but she crossed her arms in front of her chest defensively.

"Oppa is kind to me and he's always pink and pink is my favorite color." Apparently that was enough for the kid to believe that he was the best so Jimin thanked her, not wanting to upset her further. It was a little over noon which meant he was done with the stories and the question but Eun-Ae's mother was a bit late so he offered to keep her company until the woman arrived.

They looked through a book about wild animals until they had to say goodbye so Jimin went back to the corner he's been offered by library, making sure to place everything back where it belonged and to gather his things. He was ready to inform the staff member he befriended that he was going to leave when he realized someone was staring at him from the door frame. He thought it might be a parent who has seen him reading and had questions or suggestions so he straightened his back.

His stomach dropped as soon as he was able to look at the tall man eyeing him. His heart didn't fail to pump blood faster into his body and his brain became foggy as it was trying to block all the bad memories that were suddenly coming back to him. He knew he could never forget that pervert smile for he has seen it while enduring the worst of humiliations.

"Hi, babe." The voice caused for a shiver to run down his spine and his anxiety managed to reach his every nerve, his mouth going dry. He was facing his ex-Dom.
