Compromise

Paint

 

“Jongdae please. You need to rest.”

 

Said man turned to glare at the person who had spoken.

 

“I don’t want to rest. I’ve been resting for the past month and I’m sick of it!” 

 

“Jongdae-“

 

“No. I don’t want to rest. I’ve been resting for the past month and I’m sick of it!” Yelled Jongdae. “You won’t even let me paint anymore Baekhyun!”

 

Baekhyun sighed. He knew that this would happen sooner or later. It was only a matter of when Jongdae’s patience would finally run out and it seemed today was the day.

 

“You know what the doctor said…” Baekhyun needed to calm him down. Jongdae getting too stressed out could not only harm him.

 

“Yes! I know what he said. I was there you know.” Jongdae sassed. Baekhyun was used to it. It’s part of what makes Jongdae who he was and he loved him for it.

 

“Well then you would know that-“ Baekhyun started before he was cut off once again.

 

“I’m pregnant. Not dying.” Pointed out Jongdae. “He said when I hit my 7th month not to do any heavy lifting or extreme physical activity. Painting is not either of them. Why won’t you let me?” Jongdae pleaded. “I’m going absolutely insane here!” Jongdae emphasises his frustrations by throwng his hand up in the air and turning his back toward Baekhyun.

 

Baekhyun had to admit that maybe he had been wrong. The Byun Baekhyun admitting that he was wrong? Now that didn’t happen often. He was just concerned. While male pregnancy was common, there were more risks then with female pregnancies. The chance of a miscarriage is higher and birth defects more common. It also takes a harder toll on the body of the male who is carrying.

 

Baekhyun also had more of a reason to be worried. While most male pregnancies only resulted in a single offspring, it is possible to have multiples, though it’s not as common. Jongdae just had to fall into that category. When he was 18 weeks it was discovered that he was indeed carrying fraternal twins. And in typical overdramatic Jongdae fashion, he proceeded to freak out and only the promise of ice cream (what a 5 year old) and new paint supplies did Baekhyun manage to calm him down.

 

Resigned, Baekhyun made his way over to Jongdae. Grabbing Him by the shoulder he turned Jongdae around to face his yet he stubbornly refused to meet Baekhyun’s eyes, his arms crossed and an adorable pout on his lips. As much as he knew Jongdae was trying to be angry, Baekhyun couldn’t help but think he was cute.

 

Stifling his laughter, Baekhyun brings his hands and places them on Jongdae’s cheeks and turning his head towards him.

 

“Baby, come on. Look at me.”

 

Jongdae still refused to meet his eyes. Stubborn little brat.

 

Baekhyun was then hit with the perfect idea and a sly smile made it onto his face.

 

Leaning in closer, Baekhyun pressed his lips onto Jongdae’s. Baekhyun’s tongue traced Jongdae’s lips, gently asking for entrance. At first Jongdae stiffened trying to fight the want but he was soon relaxing into the kiss. He parted his lips and Baekhyun’s tongue immediately dived inside, re familiarising himself with the cavern that he had mapped many time before.

 

Baekhyun’s hand travelled from Jongdae’s face, down to his protruding stomach where they paused for a second before continuing around to rest on his hips. In response, Jongdae wound his own arms around Baekhyun’s neck as the kiss became more intense and Jongdae’s legs started to feel like jelly. Jongdae moaned and Baekhyun couldn’t help but smile into the kiss.

 

Soon the need to breathe over whelmed them and they reluctantly pulled apart, resting their foreheads together while panting.

 

When they had finally caught their breath their eyes meet and Baekhyun couldn’t help the massive smile his lips formed at the adorable pout that had made it onto Jongdae’s face.

 

Hyung~ you can’t do that.” Whined Jongdae. “That’s cheating. It’s not fair!”

 

“When have we ever played fair?”

 

Silence.

 

Laughing, Baekhyun pulls Jongdae as close to him as his tummy will allow him to, and places a quick peck on his brow.

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

Jongdae looks at him with surprise. I wasn’t every day that Baekhyun actually apologised.

 

“I know I’ve been too hard on you and I know how much your painting means to you, especially since you’ve been on maternity leave and can’t teach your classes.”

 

At Baekhyun’s words a small smile begins to form at the corner of his naturally upturned lips.

 

Baekhyun notices it but doesn’t comment on it.

 

“I shouldn’t have stopped you from painting. From now on you can-“

 

““I shouldn’t have stopped you from painting. From now on you can-“

 

“Yes. Yes. Yes! Thankyou!” screams Jongdae as he peppers Baekhyun’s face with sloppy kisses.

 

“-But! No moving around your easels and I want you in a chair not a stool. No carrying around heavy paints and I’m going to bring down all of your supplies on the shelfs that you can’t reach. I don’t want you tempted when you see something you need. Okay?

 

“Okay. Yes. I promise.”

 

Baekhyun’s left eyebrow rises.

 

“You promise…?”

 

Jongdae’s lips find themselves attached to Baekhyun’s and he mumbles a soft ‘I promise’ before continuing the kiss. However it didn’t last long as they were interrupted by the little kicks of their unborn children. Chucking, Baekhyun kneels and lifts up Jongdae’s shirt, exposing the bump and places his lips against it.

 

“Looks like our babies are happy.”

 

“They are now since you let their Umma paint.”

 

“You’re not going to let this go are you?” questions Baekhyun.

 

“Nope. Not a chance.”

 

Baekhyun groans. “I’m doomed.”

 

Jongdae laughs and it’s one of Baekhyun’s most favourite things in the world. When Jongdae laughs it’s like the world lights up and everything is okay. His laugh, paired with his smile is the epitome of happiness in Baekhyun’s world.

 

Jongdae gazes lovingly down at his husband. Despite their bickering Jongdae couldn’t imagine spending the rest of his life with anyone else. Baekhyun was the best husband he could ask for (I mean, who else could put up with him) and he could already see him as an amazing father.

 

The beautiful moment was broken when Baekhyun cursed.

 

“Dammit. I have to go to work.”

 

Looking at the clock it read 8:33. Baekhyun needed to be at work at 9:00.

 

Sighing Baekhyun stands up and hugs Jongdae. He didn’t want to go but he knew that he needed to if he wanted paternity leave.

 

You wouldn’t think it but Baekhyun is a detective for the local precinct. One of the best as well. People tended to overlook him due to his smaller stature and delicate looking face. However he could lay and man flat on the floor in a matter of seconds. Beakhyun had been trained in many form of martial arts, Hapkido being his favourite seen by the fact that he teaches it on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons down at the local centre.

 

“Be safe.”

 

Jongdae couldn’t help but worry. On the job Baekhyun was always in danger and anything could happen. Jongdae didn’t even want to think about anything bad happening to Baekhyun. It would break his heart.

 

“You know I will be.”

 

Baekhyun pecks Jongdae on the lips before gathering up his badge and gun before he make his way out the door and Jongdae is left in an empty house.

 

“Looks like it’s just me and you two now.” Jongdae says as he soothingly rubs his belly.

 

~X~

 

Just as Baekhyun walks into the precinct he hears his phone beep. He walks over to his desk and sits down before taking out his phone and looking at the message and he can’t contain the smile that paints itself across his face.

 

From Jongbae ;3

Have a good day at work! Can’t wait until you come home >.< I might have a little surprise for you ;)

 

From Baekhyunie <3

Can’t wait baby

 

Baekhyun couldn’t wait to get home and when he did, he wasn’t disappointed.

 

 

 

I really shouldn't be doing this. I should be focusing on University but I was struck with this idea and I just had to run with it. Lately I've been getting really into the less common pairings and Baekchen is one that I really enjoy. Those two adorable sassy little s. It doesn't help that Jongdae is my bias either. It was Tao but you know. KrisLuhanTao will always be apart of EXO in my eyes though <3

Oh and KIASTAL is real guys! Like OH MY GOD I'M SO HAPPY!! XD

 

Second chapter should be up sometime this week. Fingers crossed. Should be up on Wednesday! :)

I hope you get well soon and don't stress yourself out with the last chapter. Your health is most important.
