Yoongi struggled with his shopping basket as he hiked it onto the counter of the convenience store. It was quite heavy. As the clerk scanned each item, he looked everything over to be sure he had everything perfectly right.
Taehyung sent the soon-to-be father a list of cravings that Jimin has been having as of lately. Yoongi was shocked at the amount of foods on the list, but hasn't once complained, not even in his mind, about it. He may have picked up a couple extra things he knew Jimin has always liked, even if they're not on Taehyung's specific list.
He's known Jimin since they were five. He knows what snacks the boy likes.
Before taking his haul, the male checked the back side of each snack to ensure that every ingredient was safe for the pregnant male to consume.
He's been reading parenting books ever since the expecting news. Yoongi's even read a few that were specifically about the pregnancy stages. He really didn't want to mess this up.
With it being mid-March, it's still quite cold outside, so he zipped his jacket up, and grabbed his shopping bags, heading out to his car, after thanking the check-out lady.
This is the second time that he's purchased a snack haul for the mother of his child. Since the first time didn't go over too well and ended with Jimin vomiting from the strong smell of fish cakes that Yoongi had purchased, he's definitely nervous. He hoped things worked out better this time.
He's really trying to prove himself to Jimin. He wants to prove that he will be an excellent father and caregiver to their child, and he also wants to earn the younger's trust. He missed their old friendship so much, that he's becoming desperate to be close to him once again.
There's also this ache in his chest every time he sees Jimin. It's always the worst when Seokjin is around. When he sees the open way Jin gets to look at the petite male, or the way Jimin laughs at all of the oldest's stupid jokes, it tears him apart.
What Jin had said at the school canteen that day has really bothered him. Were the two actually dating? They seem awfully close, but nothing in most of their interactions strikingly convey that they are, in fact, together. It would take a blind man, to not notice the loving gaze Seokjin always has for Jimin, but even then, the same love can be heard in his voice. Gosh, Yoongi wishes he could know Jimin's true feelings about it.
Yoongi parks his car in Taehyung and Jimin's apartment complex. He pulls down the sun visor to get a good look at himself, combing down a couple sporadic hairs that were sticking up. Once he thought he looked decent enough, he grabbed all of the bags out of the front seat, and made his way to their door, with a couple light knocks.
Taehyung opened the door, with his wide, rectangle smile. "Oh Jiminie, look! The delivery boy is here!" The pregnant male poked his head around the corner from the hallway bathroom with wide eyes before hiding back inside.
You could hear some banging around and a cabinet door slamming from inside the restroom before Jimin had finally shown himself again. "Taehyung, stop sending Yoongi a list of all of my cravings! It's embarrassing! I just say that I want all those things randomly and then I typically forget about it the next day. Also, he's not my personal delivery man. If I really want any of those things, I can go out and get them myself."
Yoongi ignored any of Jimin's protests as he set the grocery bags on the kitchen counter with a big fat, derpy grin on his face. Jimin was cute.
"Listen Jimin, I asked him to pick those up because other than going to your last appointment with you, Yoongi hasn't gotten to do anything with you for the baby. He should be here more often than just bringing some of your craving twice within the last two weeks" Taehyung ranted.
Jimin sighed, unable to come up with a decent response because Taehyung was right. Although he said he'd try, he hasn't called Yoongi for help with anything. He held the bridge of his nose as he thought for a moment. "Yoongi hyung, while you're here, do you want to help me look for my prenatal vitamins? I just made our bathroom look like a tornado hit trying to look for them, but I had no luck."
Yoongi hummed in agreement, trying not to sound so excited that he was asked for help. Inside his mind, he also cooed at how it was always such a Jimin thing to lose anything and everything. That was one aspect of Jimin that Yoongi had always found adorable.
The two searched around the whole apartment.
How can he lose something so important that he uses literally every day? Yoongi wondered.
The pair were inside Jimin's room, when the younger finally thought to check in his top drawer of his nightstand, thinking he may have possibly thrown them inside there. He opened up the drawer and sure enough, the pink bottle of prenatals were sitting there.... right next to a bottle of lube that Yoongi had purchased for when they were....
He quickly slammed the door drawer shut, hoping that the older hadn't seen, but of course he had. Jimin's face turned bright red, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted with himself, right in front of the eyes of Yoongi. Tears threatened to fall and his body trembled at the memories, but before he could let out a sob, a gentle, warm hand grabbed his.
"Hey, let's go see all the snacks I brought. I bet little man is hungry after all that looking around" Yoongi hesitantly left a comforting kiss on the top of Jimin's head, and was surprised that the smaller didn't flinch away at his touches. They walked down to the kitchen with their hands still interlocked.
Yoongi helped Jimin get comfortable on one of the barstools, as he rummaged through the bags. "So Taehyung sent me three different kinds of ramen because apparently you couldn't decide on which one sounded better. I brought some honey butter chips and banana milk... I even brought some of your old favorites just in case."
Jimin was flattered by all that the older had bought. He watched as Yoongi set down a package of dried squid, knowing that those were always one of his go-to snacks, but one look at the package had him pushing it as far away as possible. Yoongi raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I haven't been able to eat this. The smell makes me gag." Jimin shrugged.
Yoongi took the package and threw them back in a bag. "That's okay, I'll probably eat them later or something." Yoongi bit his lip, clearly having something on his mind.
"Yoongi hyung, I've known you since we were little kids, there's something you want to say... just go ahead and say it." Jimin said in a monotonous tone.
The older cleared his throat before speaking. "About what Taehyung had said earlier... I really would like to be more involved with my son if you'd let me. Seeing you like once a week to bring you snacks doesn't seem like I'm doing enough for him. Would you please let me care for you? Or help you prepare for when he comes?" He asked with a hopeful spirit.
Jimin had to admit that there truly were a lot of things that he needed done before their son's arrival, and it's only fair to Yoongi and their child to allow him to help if he's willing.
"There are still a lot of items I need to buy for him. I really only have a couple of outfits, a pack of diapers, and his crib. Would you maybe want to come shopping with me tomorrow after work?"
The future dad nodded with so much enthusiasm. He would do anything for his son and honestly shopping for the baby sounded pretty exciting.
"Taehyung and Seokjin will be coming too."
