"I saw— she crawled," he gasped out, eager to spill out the details to his boyfriends. To let them know how real and how scary it was.

Jimin rubbed his back and kissed his forehead.

"It's not real. We're here. Baby, we're here."

"You're safe," Yoongi promised, "it was just a nightmare, love. You're here now. In our arms. You're safe, baby."

Jungkook imitated Yoongi's breathing and eventually calmed down enough to speak without stuttering.

"I'm sorry," he whimpered, feeling like a complete baby for breaking down over a mere nightmare, "I'm so sorry."

"Hey! Don't apologise for something you have no control over. We're here for you always, Kookie. If it's a nightmare that's bothering you, tell us. We'll squish you tight and sleep," Jimin chuckled and kissed the younger softly and delicately.

"The squishing doesn't involve me. Just to make that clear," grumbled Yoongi.

"Yah!" Jimin shouted and slapped the older who squaked indignantly at the treatment.

"How dare you hit me?"

"Like this," Jimin cried and whacked him again causing Jungkook to giggle at their silliness.

"Our baby boy is terrified out of his mind and you dared to refuse him cuddles!" Jimin argued.

Yoongi rolled his eyes but couldn't stop the fond smile from lighting up his face. He leaned forward and gathered the youngest in his arms before pressing his lips gently against his.

"I love you and I promise you I'll—ouch, okay. We'll keep you safe," Yoongi said and threw a glare in Jimin's direction for pinching him so hard.

Jimin only smirked.

"I- I'm scared to sleep," Jungkook admitted.

Yoongi tugged the younger close to him and allowed him to rest his face against Yoongi's chest. Jungkook felt Jimin's chest against his back and the older's hands around his torso.

He sighed in content and snuggled closer, relishing their warmth. He almost bawled his eyes out when the two of them began to sing softly to him.
