[team sonic] we lay in bed
Starting words from here.
Title from Florence + the Machine's St Jude.
This is part five of the Full of Wonder au; the first, second, third and fourth stories are To my heartbeat sound, Inner comfort of you, Needing stitches, and I see your eyes, respectively. This story is followed by Walking with you.
Things will be less stupid in the morning. That's what Sehun always tells himself, when he's too tired but Tao is crying and he drags himself out of the bed to go and feed him.
"I love you, I really do," he tells his small son, fists balling as his mouth works furiously around the rubber nipple of the bottle. Tao's hair is so soft, slipping through his fingers like silk. Moments that will be lost forever if he doesn't catalog them now. But Sehun is too tired to find the camera, next time, he always tells himself, before walking around, Tao tucked over one shoulder because his precious baby can't fall asleep unless he's being carried. He's been a little colicky lately and Sehun is just hoping that his is his worst, though he doubts it would be that easy.
"Are you okay?" Yixing asks, the front door having been shut carefully with only a small click, to find Sehun curled up on the sofa, Tao still in his arms. Sehun blinks, looks around dazed
"What?" he asks. "Yes?" Yixing furrows his brow in concern and gently lifts Tao out of Sehun's arms; Sehun holds his breath but the gently slumbering baby doesn't stir as Yixing places him carefully in his crib before turning to his boyfriend.
"You need a rest," Yixing says, and Sehun doesn't want to agree but he's so tired. He leans forward and rests his head on Yixing's shoulder.
"I've already called Zhoumi and Victoria and they'll be happy to take care of Tao for a few days while we go on a small vacation," Yixing smiles but Sehun feels almost angry.
"What?" he asks. You didn't even ask me.
"I know what you're probably thinking," Yixing says, running his hand soothingly over the muscles that have stiffened in Sehun's back. "But would you really have said yes when I was buying the plane tickets and booking the hotel?" Sehun reluctantly shakes his head. "And do you have any doubts about my cousin and his wife's ability to take care of Tao?" Sehun has to ruefully shake his head once again before snuggling further into his boyfriend's neck. Yixing's shoulder is so nice. He could fall asleep here . . .
Yixing smiles softly as he gathers his drooping boyfriend into his arms and carries him to bed where he carefully tucks him under the covers before pulling the suitcases out to pack. Just then Tao stirs, a soft murmur slipping out of his tiny mouth, and Yixing goes over to pick him up and rock him in the warmth of his arms.
"I love you my precious one," he says. Tao isn't really awake but his tiny fingers bunch into Yixing's t-shirt and Yixing smiles. I know you love me and your daddy too. Humming a quiet lullaby, Yixing carries Tao around the house.
When they get to the living room, Yixing stops to admire the new family portrait on the wall, hanging above the sofa. That's us, he tells his dozing baby. What a happy family.
Tao is sleeping again so Yixing lays him gently in his crib and, instead of continuing packing, crawls into bed with Sehun, wrapping around him like a warm blanket. Sehun sighs in his sleep and snuggles back into Yixing's warmth.
I love you too.
