waiting for ten's small figure to disappear from his sight, johnny had his eyes staring at the door that ten had closed for a good minute before turning around to probably introduce himself to the little boy.

but as he turned around, he was no where to be seen.

❝oh god!❞ he started to panic. first second in his job and he now lost the kid, great. ❝i swore he was just right there—❞

❝boo.❞ a pair of soft and small hands came in contact with his cheeks and as johnny looked up, he saw the little boy having that cute smile of his.

johnny didn't even want to ask how he got up there on top of his head from the bed. he's a vampire, he can do anything. that only makes things hard for johnny but he can manage. after all, what can a kid possibly do?

❝we go out and play!❞ the little boy said, disappearing on top of johnny's head and as the babysitter blinked his eyes, the little boy is now on the floor waddling towards the door that leads outside of his room.

remembering the task ten gave him, ❝no, no.❞ johnny caught up to the kid and scooped him up before he punches the door open. ❝you are taking a bath.❞

the little boy was being carried like johnny was scared of him, putting an arm of distance between them, and making him pout. ❝i don't want to take a bath.❞

❝yeah, and i also don't want to die in your papa's hands.❞ johnny gave him a smile before holding him in one arm while he used his free hand to open the bathroom door. looking back down to his arm, he widened his eyes when the little boy was no where to be seen. ❝twenty!❞

turning back around, the little boy walked so fast towards the door. johnny groaned and went running towards him but before he could catch him and hold him tight, the little boy zoomed out from his sight and he was now clinging to johnny's back.

❝i'm not taking a bath if giant is also not taking a bath.❞ he said, climbing down and crawling in between johnny's legs before running off to the door.

❝okay first of all, i already took a bath.❞ johnny said as he walked behind the little vampire, also smelling himself to make sure. ❝second, my name is not giant.❞

❝but you're a giant.❞ the little boy replied without turning around and continued to walk to his goal.

johnny scoffed, ❝you're just small.❞

catching up with the little boy trying to use his small legs to run away from him, johnny placed both his big ass hands on both of his sides and carried him up again but the kid decided to violent and bite his hand. johnny let out a dramatic scream and dropped the little boy. he isn't even worried if the boy would drop face flat to the ground but he's more worried by the bite mark on his hand.

❝i've been bitten by a vampire!❞ johnny raised his hand up, already forgetting about the little boy that's now making his way out of the room. ❝i'm now going to lose blood and—❞

he paused when he noticed that there was no bite mark on his hand. sure, there is, but not what he expected like those fangs digging right through his skin. it's just a normal bite mark, not even a visible one. but johnny was so sure that it hurt, it's impossible for the mark not being that visible. or he's just really dramatic about it even though it didn't even hurt a tiny bit.

❝okay, i had enough.❞ johnny placed both his hands on his hips and faced to where the little boy was where when he last saw him and as what to he didn't want to see, he's gone. ❝chittapornhub is going to kill me.❞

sprinting out of the room, johnny almost lost his balance when he went to turn to a corner and slipped down when he took the stairs. he groaned in pain as he sat on the cold floor before forcing himself up as he still had to find that little boy who's just somewhere inside this house. he just hopes he is, he wouldn't know what to do if he went out of the house.

probably call death and ask him to reserve a room in heaven for him.

seeing the small figure that has been running away from, johnny smirked and went to approach him but his tracks were stopped when he saw a familiar looking man standing by the doorway with the kid looking up at him with a wide smile.

johnny's jaw dropped as he saw who came to pay a visit, or to actually do some business. ❝mom?❞

the man gave johnny a look. ❝who told you to call me that?❞

johnny shrugged, taking the kid that's giving the man heart eyes. so that's what it is, he likes him more ths johnny. johnny can't blame him, they've just met around thirty minutes ago or so but he actually expected something to at least grow between them after what happened when he touched him for the first time.

he didn't even know why he hated how the kid is so fond with this man.

❝i mean, you and jaehyun basically raised me since i was still sucking my thumb.❞ johnny placed he little boy on top of his head and just hoped that he won't fall. ❝so, taeyong, that makes you both my mom and dad.❞

❝no, we aren't.❞ taeyong sighed and invited himself inside the house, quickly closing the door before a vampire could smell what's inside the house. ❝just don't call us that, it's weird.❞

johnny scoffed. ❝as if i'd ever call jaehyun 'dad'.❞ he then made taeyong take a seat on the sofa. ❝why are you here? did jaehyun send you to babysit the kid too? same.❞

the hundred year older male laughed at what the human said. ❝i'm actually his personal tutor.❞

johnny then nodded his head in realization, almost forgetting that a kid is sitting on top of it. he then carried the little boy up and placed him down on taeyong's lap. ❝chittaphon told me that i should let him take a bath first before the study session starts.❞

a laugh escaped from taeyong's mouth, making johnny raise his brow as to why he laughed. taeyong looked down and smiled when he saw the little boy playing with his hand before looking back up at johnny who's waiting for an answer. ❝he never lets anyone call him by his real name.❞

❝well, i guess i'm not part of that anyone.❞ with johnny saying that, taeyong could only have that knowing smile on his face.

just as johnny was about to go back up to his room and prepare the kid's bath, twenty just have to speak in the silence and making johnny stop just to hear his order.

❝i am thirsty!❞ his voice echoed to every corner. if you'd be new to the surrounding, just like johnny, then you'd find it very annoying and it's like testing your temper. but like taeyong, the male was used to him being like this.

❝johnny—❞

a sigh was heard and then footsteps to the kitchen. ❝i'm on it.❞

while waiting for the little boy's drink, taeyong conversed with him and talked about his papa's whereabouts. twenty smiled the whole time as he talked about his papa to taeyong but their conversation was put to a halt by a giant who came out of the kitchen while holding a glass of,

milk?

❝here.❞ johnny lazily gave taeyong the glass, turning around after and making his way to the stairs.

❝wait.❞ but johnny was yet to be stopped again when taeyong called. ❝has ten told you about the rules and everything about twenty?❞

johnny shook his head. ❝he was in a hurry and left after giving me a task to do for the meantime when he's gone.❞

taeyong's eyes then widened as he raised the glass of milk that twenty has been making grabby hands up. ❝then why did you give him milk?❞

johnny had his brows furrowed as he too wondered why. ❝oh right, vampires drink blood!❞ he let the palm of his hand hit his face before walking towards the kitchen. he remembered seeing ten getting a pack of blood inside the fridge but before you should touch the handle, taeyong stopped him from doing so.

❝milk is correct.❞ he said, still looking shocked as ever even after giving the glass to the little who drank the glass of milk happily. ❝i just wondered how you know that he prefers milk than blood.❞

because of that, johnny started to wonder also. ❝i don't know.❞ it's starting to scare him at how he knew without even having anyone to tell him. ❝my hand just moved on its own and took milk rather than blood.❞

but then it'll lead to johnny questioning, why would ten have a container of milk powder if his kid drinks blood rather than milk. something is fishy and johnny had not plans on smelling it.

taeyong eyed johnny for a few seconds before looking back at the little boy and watching him finish the glass of milk that was given to him.

❝aren't vampire kids sensitive with their taste buds?❞ johnny said, remembering jaehyun saying something about a specific vampire couple with a kid always craving for blood and would never drink milk. ❝what if something happens to him if he drinks milk?❞

❝actually,❞ taeyong smiled watching the little wipe the corner of his lips with his small hands. ❝he's different.❞

🦇

arriving home from work, ten scanned the forest for quite a while and trying to sense if anyone was nearby. seeing that no one was, ten thought that it would be a perfect time to go home and rest. it was already two in the morning and ten guessed that johnny had already shut down, dozed off, while twenty would still be awake and entertaining himself. johnny is the best babysitter any kid could ever have, note the sarcasm.

❝jaehyun shouldn't have bothered doing this.❞ ten went up the wooden stairs and stood by the front door as he went to look for the key. ❝we are just doing fine without him around!❞

sure, ten feels a little bit lonely but the company he only needs is his son. and if he thinks about it, johnny doesn't deserve to be in this mess. he didn't even know that it's a vampire he impregnated, he is clueless. ten didn't want any innocent human to be involved.

but jaehyun just had to do his own way and bring johnny to his life, to their peaceful life.

❝and seems like he won't be gone any soon.❞ ten actually planned to let johnny work for a week or so and give him his pay after and then suddenly he makes up a reason to fire johnny and make another believable reason for jaehyun.

getting the keys out from his pocket, ten heard a sound inside and can't help but show a defeated smile. he didn't expect for his guess to be right.

❝i'm home.❞ his voice got softer and quickly locked the door close as he got inside.

❝great, i've been waiting for you.❞

hearing a familiar voice that definitely isn't his son's, ten raised his head and gave the person a small smile. ❝hey taeyong, where's twenty?❞

he couldn't believe he didn't see it the moment he walked inside the house. taeyong pointed a finger on the sofa and ten's gaze followed to where, only to get soft at the sight of johnny laying down the sofa with his legs sticking out and his arms hugging the little boy very tight and close to him.

he was surprised to see them getting close in just a short matter of time but ten was more surprised at twenty in sleeping at this hour. usually, the boy would still be awake and looking so bright to greet him everytime he gets home.

but now, he is peacefully sleeping with a man's arms wrapped around his body. a man that he had just known for hours.

and not to mention about twenty not great with strangers.

❝i see, you're also shocked about this.❞ taeyong said while he crossed his arms.

ten removed his eyes of the two and stared at taeyong with his brows furrowed. ❝i am shocked at the fact that twenty is asleep.❞ he said. ❝and you should talk to your boyfriend about this, he started it.❞

❝what he is doing is right.❞

❝what he is doing is meddling with other people's business.❞ ten snapped back, reminding himself about the two sleepyheads that are peacefully down on the sofa, lowering the volume of his voice by it.

❝he is helping you.❞ taeyong frowned. ❝one way or another, twenty's going to find out about johnny.❞

❝he won't find out if i don't tell him anything.❞ ten said, giving taeyong a look. ❝and johnny won't suspect a thing because i have no plans on telling him.❞

with a knowing smile on his face, taeyong walked closer to him. ❝this is what i want to talk about.❞

❝huh?❞

taeyong knew that ten could read what's in his head right now but he thought that it'll be much more better if he actually tells him.

❝johnny gave your little vampire milk instead of blood.❞ he said, satisfied seeing the look on ten's face. ❝he's starting to know.❞
