I got a flu shot recently (by recently I mean several weeks ago cause this takes a while to write yknow. 2nd November was the exact day lol), so I decided to write a chapter about it. That's it really.

Namjoon and Jin were in for a treat today. On the one day they booked for everyone to get the flu shot, they ended up with 5 little's on their hands. Not just one or two, all 5 of them had to be little on this day because of course luck wasn't on their side.

Luckily their doctor knew about the littles, but unfortunately, since they were all legally over 18, they weren't eligible for the nasal spray option. That meant that they had to deal with 5 screaming littles being poked with needles. It wasn't going to be a good day.

After they finally managed to get all the kids in the car, after all the hassle of trying to wrangle them out of the house in the first place, they took off to the doctors.

It was very important for them all to get the flu shot every year because Yoongi had an immunodeficiency, meaning his immune system was weaker than most peoples. Therefore, to keep him safe, they all had to make sure they were vaccinated to keep him protected.

The kids were their usual crazy selves on the way there, screaming their heads off for no reason and driving Namjoon and Jin mad. At least these screams were of excitement. They knew that on the way back they'd be screams of pain and sorrow.
"YOONGI SIT STILL PLEASE." Jin shouts, disciplining the little for moving around in his seat too much. Yoongi pouts and sits back down properly.
"Fix your seatbelt please." Jin says sternly, since little Yoongi had lifted his arm over the seatbelt. Yoongi slowly lifted his arm back over and under the seatbelt with a pout.
"Thank you." Jin said, turning back around in his seat.
After the stressful drive there, the littles now realised where they were, and they weren't happy about it. Yoongi was crying, hoseok was screaming, Jimin was whining, tae was kicking the seats, and Jungkook attempted to run away. Luckily Namjoon put the child lock on before he got there.
"Guys, sssshhh," Namjoon said, trying to get everyone to be quiet. Of course that's not going to happen any time soon. "Guys please try and be as big as you can in the waiting room yeah? I expect you all to be on your best behavior. If you're good, I'll buy you an ice cream BUT only if you're good." Namjoon says sternly, hoping to get the message across. He wasn't in the mood for strangers staring at them and having to explain.
"You're all gonna be good right?" Jin says, and a chorus of "yes daddy"s follow.

They go through the whole process of getting them out the car one by one and getting them to hold hands with each other. Yoongi was still crying and demanded to be held, so Jin carried him. Hoseok was a screaming mess, so Namjoon held his hand. Jungkook was still trying to run away, so Namjoon firmly held his hand with his other hand. Jimin and tae were being good, well, as good as a little who was about to get a shot could be, and held hands, Jin holding Jimins other hand and and tae holding hoseoks other hand. They walked like this through the car park, already getting some interesting looks. Of course, when it came to going in, they couldn't walk in holding hands like this, and Jin certainly couldn't be carrying Yoongi. But Yoongi wasn't too pleased about that. Jin saw a tantrum about to happen, so he quickly nipped it in the bud.
"Yoongi, you're going to be a good boy and stay by daddy ok? Daddy can't hold you in the waiting room but I will still stay close. If you start a tantrum you're not going to be getting any ice cream, so be a good, big, brave boy and sit in the waiting room nicely ok?" Yoongi let out a few whines before nodding.
"Thank you. Good boy." Jin says, ruffling his hair as he turns his attention to the other boys.
"Hoseok, stop screaming please. I won't tolerate this behavior in the waiting room ok? So be the good brave boy I know you are and stay quiet. Can you do that for me?"
"Yes daddy." Hoseok said with a pitiful pout.
"Uuhhh Jin?" Namjoon asked.
"What am I meant to do with kookie? He's gonna run off if I don't keep hold of him."
"Uhh, hold him by his belt. He can't run off that way."

After they'd finally organised everyone and made sure they wouldn't cause too much of a hassle, they walked through the automatic doors to the reception desk.
"Hi, I've booked for all seven of us to get the flu shot today." Jin says, and the receptionist types some stuff down and hands them a clipboard with several forms on them.
"Each one of you need to fill out one of those forms each. The doctor will take it when you go in."
"Ok, thank you."

So far so good. Yoongi was tugging on jins shirt, asking for attention, but Jin just ignored it. The waiting room experience went surprisingly smooth, since they were all too distracted by the bead roller, pushing the beads along their swirly paths.
"Daddy look!" Jimin said, a little too loudly as he pushed the beads around, garnering a few stares. Jin put a finger to his lips and whispered "that's very nice darling but you need to be quiet."
Jimin pouted, before going back to his beads.
Everyone waited nervously until the doctor finally came out. All he had to do was make eye contact with Jin for him to know they were next.
"Come one guys let's go." He says, herding all the others back into one big group. If they didn't get stares for the littles, they would get stares for the sheer size of their group that's for sure.
"Hi guys, just take a seat." The doctor says, sitting down in his swivelly office chair. The seven of them managed to squish into the room, with a few sat on laps, others sat on chairs or the floor.
"Just to let you know, doctor, they're all little today." Jin says, his hands wrapped around Yoongi's waist, who was sat on jins lap sucking his thumb.
"Ah, wonderful. Perfect timing." The doctor says sarcastically with a chuckle. "That's fine, don't worry." He replies sincerely this time.
"Daddy..." Yoongi mumbled.
"Yes sweetie?" Jin answered, happy he wasn't having to hide the way he spoke to him anymore.
"Is it going to hurt?" He asks with a pout, and wide, wondrous eyes.
"Ummm, it might hurt a little bit but only a little bit. Like a tiny little pinch. That's it." Jin replied, not wanting to lie to the little but also not wanting to scare him. But of course it didn't work. Yoongi broke into tears again.
"Daddy, don' want too" Yoongi wailed out, wrapping his arms around jins shoulders. Jin gladly returned the hug, rubbing his back.
"It's ok honey it'll just be a little pinch, and I'll sit with you and hold you tight the whole time, and if you're a brave boy I'll let you have extra ice cream! How about that?" Yoongi let's out a little smile, along with the cutest little giggle.

Then it was time for the actual vaccination. Namjoon and Jin went first, to show the littles that it's nothing scary. Namjoon goes first, sat up on the examination table. Jin huddles all the littles together, trying to make it seem exciting to get rid of their fears. They all watched with curious eyes as the needle was jabbed into namjoons arm. He didn't even flinch, and stayed stone faced the whole time.
"See? Daddy didn't even flinch!" Jin says, gently bouncing Yoongi on his lap. Namjoon hopped off the bench and now it was Jins turn. Jin put Yoongi down, who started bouncing and whining, already missing his daddy's cuddles, until namjoon came and swooped him back up.
"It's daddy jinnie's turn now." He says, now bouncing Yoongi on his own knees. His arm was aching, though of course he didn't dare show it.

Jin sat up on the examination table, preparing himself. Truthfully, he want fond of needles, but he held it together, just for the littles. The just looked at their gorgeous little faces as a distraction. He winced a little bit, but quickly styled it out like a weird wink.
"See? Doesn't hurt at all." Jin said, though it was clearly a lie.
"Now who wants to be a brave boy and go first?" Jin said, and tae immediately volunteered. Tae was the oldest of the littles. He was more like a middle than a little really. Most of the time he was around 6-7 years old. Yoongi, of course, was the youngest at 3, or on some days 2.
"Ok tae, come up here" Jin said, patting the examination table, and lifting him up onto it. Yoongi threw a fit, cause he wanted to be the 'big brave boy who went first'. But the two didn't allow it to escalate.
"You can go next Yoongi. Everyone will get a turn. Now sit still and behave yourself, or you won't be getting any ice cream." Namjoon disciplines, while Yoongi just gives him an angry pouty face.

"Do you want me to sit with you tae? Or will you be ok by yourself?" Jin asks.
"By myself! I'm a big boy!" Tae said excitedly, wiggling around on the bench proudly.
"Ok." Jin said, but he stayed on the table with him anyways, just in case. "Sit still then. He can't do it if you're wriggling about." Jin prompted, and tae sat still. The doctor prepared the shot. As he cleaned taes arm, tae giggled nervously. Then the time came. Taes smile quickly fades as he realises how painful it really is and Jin already knew what was coming. Taes face scrunched up, and a little squeak of a wail leaked out, slowly getting louder and louder into a full blown cry.
"Oh taetae honeybun. It's ok. It's all done now." Jin said, hugging the little one gently.
"It hurts daddy!" Tae wailed out. There goes all the effort of the other two to ease their fears. Now they'd all heard taes wails, and decided they'd rather not.
"I know but it'll only hurt for a little bit. And you were a very brave boy. You've earned your ice cream." Those words alone made the little quieten and wipe his tears away.
"Did you want to go next Yoongi?" Jin asked.
"No! No daddy! Don' wanna!" Yoongi wailed, shaking his head vigorously.
"C'mon, I thought you wanted to be a big boy and go next!" Jin tried to persuade the little, but to no avail.
"I don' wanna be a big boy!" Yoongi continued to wail. All the others had joined in too now. The whole room was filled with child-like wailing.
"You're gonna have to at some point Yoongi." Jin says with a sigh, taking Yoongi from namjoons lap and onto his own. Yoongi screamed and kicked around. Unfortunately for everyone else, he was still physically a grown man. Jin got quite a harsh kick to the shin. He held him down firmly on his lap and tried for the last time to convince the little to calm down.
"Yoongi. If you keep up this screaming you won't get any ice cream. Understand?" Yoongi stopped crying and nodded, sniffling.
"I know your scared honey but you'll be ok. I'm right here, ok? Just don't look and it'll be over before you know it." Jin held him as tight as he could, his arms wrapped tightly around Yoongis, to keep them down. His gently rubbed his back and whispered sweet nothings into his ear to keep him calm. He nods to the doctor as a signal that it's ok to go, luckily for them they have an amazing doctor who got it over with super quickly. Of course, Yoongi screamed and wriggled, but it was all over in two seconds, and the next thing he knew he looked down and saw a brightly coloured bandage on his arm.
"Good boy!!! You did it Yoongi!!! Wasn't that bad was it?" Jin said, giving him lots of cuddles. All though he wasn't screaming, he was still sniffling and wiping away stray tears, as he waddled back over to namjoons lap to get more comforting cuddles.
"So who's next?" Jin asked. None of them spoke a word. Their mouths were tightly closed.
"Cmon hoseokie." Jin said, volunteering him.
"Nooooooo!" Hoseok whined shaking his head vigorously. Jin was having deja vu. Just like another little he knew of...
"Cmon hoseokie, everyone has to get it at some point so let's just get it over with huh?" Jin says, reaching his hand out to Hoseok. Hoseok holds his arms close to himself, and Jin just rolls his eyes.
He stands up and grabs Hoseok, pulling him onto his lap, holding him down firmly to get it over with.
"Hoseokie, remember what I said. If you're a good boy and sit still you can get ice cream. If you continue this kicking and squirming you won't get any ice cream. So sit still and be a good boy for me yeah?" Jin said softly yet also firmly. Hoseok stopped squirming and looked up at Jin with those sparkling tearful eyes and a heart wrenching pout.
"B-but I'm scared daddy." Oh that shaky voice made jins heart break in two.
"I know honey you'll be ok. I'm right here. It'll be over before you know it."
He held him tightly as the doctor prepared the shot. He prepared himself for screams and cries as he got the shot, but surprisingly, nothing. Hoseok just continued to whimper nervously. Even when it was over, Hoseok was still clearly anticipating the pain of the shot.
"You did it honey! It's over now." Jin said, and Hoseok opened his scrunched up eyes and looked down to see a colourful bandage on his arm, and he looked up at jin in confusion, causing the elder to chuckle.
"Did you not feel it?" Jin says with a chuckle, and Hoseok just shrugs. He must have been so distraught by his own fear that he didn't even feel it.
Hoseok slides of Jins lap and waddles back over to the seat he was sat in before.
"Ok Jungkookie? Jiminie? Who wants to go next?" Jin said, arms open in invitation. The two looked at each other, back at Jin, and then both raised their hands in sync.
"Ummm..." Jin said, quickly trying to think of a fair way to choose who went next, before tae gave him his answer.
"Rock paper scissors!"
The two played a round, and Jimin won, so he jumped up and walked over to the bench. He immediately hugged Jin with a bright smile and Jin chuckled.
"You need to relax this arm honey." He said, bringing Jimins left arm down, before hugging Jimin tightly back. Jin nodded to the doctor again, and the doctor prepared the shot. Jimin giggled at the strange feeling of the needle, and before long it was over.
"Good boy!" Jin exclaimed "did it hurt?"
"No, it tickled!" Jimin said with more giggles. He hopped off the bench and was quickly replaced by Jungkook, who did exactly the same thing as Jimin. It went quickly, Jungkook also giggled at the strange feeling.
"Well that's everyone! I think these boys deserve some ice cream, don't you?" The doctor says, looking at all the smiling faces. They all nodded profusely, looking eagerly at Jin and namjoon, who were rolling their eyes playfully with a smile.
"Thank you doctor! They all said in unison as they left the doctors office, and headed to their well deserved ice cream.

Aaaand that's that! Vaccinate your kids, kids. I know I said I was taking a break, but, as always, I can't help myself. 😂😂😂 I was almost finished with this chapter anyway.
