{Ravi's Rascals vs Leo's Little Ones}

"Oh morning Hyuk!" 

"Hi Hyukkie!"

I smile and wave at my neighbours, chuckling as I see Dami trying to look over the fence. All I could see of the little girl was the top of her brown hair and her arms flailing about crazily 

"Good morning guys!" 

I walk over, wanting to say hello. I liked my neighbours, Hakyeon was a great hyung and his little daughter was the absolute cutest...even cuter than me

"You going to DayCare today?" I ask Dami as I lean against the fence, looking down at the little girl; her face smiling up at me

She nods frantically, "I see Uncle Ravi today!" I couldn't stop myself and began to chuckle at how adorable she was

"Hey actually my friend Ken just had a son, and he's struggling a bit since his girlfriend left. Reckon your mate Ravi would like another customer?" I ask turning to Hakyeon

He nods and shrugs, "Don't see why he wouldn't, I'll have a chat with him yeah?"

"That's nice of you, thanks. Well I should let you guys go, you have fun today Miss Dami" I smile down at the girl before waving slightly at Hakyeon hyung and making my way back to my house

I REALLY liked my neighbours...if you catch my drift

------------------------------------------

I opened the door and smiled down at Liam and Bonnie, as well as sending a quick one to their mother. "Hey guys!" 

"Ravi!" They cry, rushing forward and latching themselves onto my legs. I ruffle Liam's hair and wink at Bonnie playfully, knowing that she absolutely loved it when people winked. 

"How you guys doing?"I ask with a smile. "Good! You blue now" Liam observes, referring to my ever changing hair colour

"I am" I chuckle ruffling Liam's fluffy brown hair once more. "You guys be good today" Their mother - Susanne - says.

"We will!" Liam shouts twice as loud,  having to be his sister's voice too. "Give me a kiss" Susanne says bending down and leaning her cheek forward. They both give her a quick kiss and a large hug before disappearing into my kid-friendly house 

I turned back to Susanne and smiled, "3:30?" She nods and smiles. "Thanks Wonshik" she waves as she walks off back to her car

I locked the front door and turn on my heel, moving from the first lounge room past the kitchen and into the playroom

Liam and Bonnie were always the first here, because Susanne works at the hospital and starts at 6:30 so the kids are here at 6. 

Liam was jabbering on about something when I walked in, to his twin sister. Bonnie just nodded along and smiled when she thought was appropriate. She didn't talk much, she was just very shy.

I went and sat down next to her, bumping her softly with my shoulder making her smile. She bumps me back and I pretend to fall over; making her clap her hands frantically and laugh loudly 

I sit back up and send her a big grin, showing all my teeth and looking quite silly. She shows me the same thing and I couldn't help but laugh at the four year old

"Ravi, I'm tired" Liam whines making me turn to look at the little boy. "Wanna nap?" I ask and he nods only once

"Come on then, you coming Bonnie?" I stand up as she nods and take her hand. "Let's go set up your stretchers" Liam takes my other hand and we walk into another room where there were seven stretchers all in their bags

I let go of the twins' hands and start to set up the camping stretchers, putting a sheet on both as well as a pillow and a fluffy blanket

"Take your bags off" I help them take off their backpacks and put Liam's under his bed and Bonnie's under hers

"Yell out if you need me ok?" Liam nods and Bonnie gives me a look of 'No'. "Bonnie Harrison" I use her full name and raise my eyebrows

She furrows hers and pouts. "Ok" she whispers and I smile instantly. She had such a cute voice! 

"Sleep well" I kiss her forehand after she's in; her blanket pulled right up to her chin and her nose scrunched up. 

"Sweet dreams" I mumble, turning the light off and closing the door - not fully in case they needed me. 

I walk out into the kitchen and make myself a coffee. Even after having the twins for a year I'm still not an early morning person. The other kids don't usually turn up till like 7ish, so I can get up at 6:30 instead of 5:30.

I'm a relatively new business, I've only been open for around a year and a half but honestly it's been the best year and a half of my life. 

My phone buzzed in my back pocket and my eyes widen. Whoa. It was too early in the morning for me to have vibrations on my .

Another thing, I'm gay. I like ...quite a bit actually. There's just something about them. 

I think that's another reason why I like children, because I know technically I'll never be able to have some of my own. Ever heard of you don't know how much you'll miss something until it's gone? 

When you find out that you won't be able to have children - your own biological children - something clicks inside you. You'll be walking down the street and you'll see a mother with their child and you want to break down and cry, but you have to be strong? That's how I got into this business. I love children and just because I can't have my own doesn't mean I can't be entitled to looking after some

I'm Ravi, and welcome to Ravi's Rascals 

------------------------------------------

"Hyung! Open the door quickly!"

Oh God, Hongbin's here. I take a once over of the playroom before rushing to the front door of my house

"Hyu-!" 

I cut him off by opening the door and moving to the side quickly so he and his team could rush in

The shouting was horrendously loud, but it's something you get used to believe me. 

Hongbin's hair was stuck to his forehead and his face was all red. He was wringing his hands together - a nervous habit he's acquired over the years

"Daaad! I need to pee!" 

"Dad I'm hungry!

"Minhyun stole my hat!"

"Did not!"

I look to Hongbin and he mouths the words, 'Save me hyung' 

"Jaewan go pee, Hyunwoo there's a banana on the bench, Juhan stop dobbing and Minhyun give his hat back"

The team disassembles; Jaewan goes to my bathroom, Hyunwoo moves to the kitchen in search of food, Juhan puts his earphones in and Minhyun goes to watch TV

"Hyung how am I gonna do this?" Hongbin sighs rubbing his hands over his face

"You'll be fine Bean. She wouldn't have left if she didn't think you could do this ok?" 

He continued to hang his head and I felt so sorry for my poor friend 

"Now go, you don't want to be late for this interview do you?" He shakes his head 

"Thanks Taekwoon, call me if you need me" Hongbin touches my shoulder before going and saying goodbye to his team

"Jaewan! Minhyun! Hyunwoo! Juhan! I'm going!" He shouts checking the time on his phone quickly 

There are scattered shouts from around my house and he sighs sadly. "Bye" he waves halfheartedly before leaving my house to go to a job interview

"I wish they made it easy on him" I mumble after locking the door behind my best friend. Hongbin was a lovely guy, so down to Earth and he had a heart of Gold

His wife passed away last year, and it's been tough on all five of them. He lost his job, and is struggling to even buy food for dinner

He has six year old triplets Hyunwoo, Juhan and Minhyun and five year old Jaewan. 
 
I know Hongbin will get through. I always ask to look after the kids, because well I love kids and because I want to help him in anyway I can and I realise that having four children screaming for you doesn't help your stress levels 

He's the reason I opened my DayCare. Even when his wife - Da Bae - was here, they still needed help. Da Bae used to tell me how wonderful I was with children and it dawned on me to open my DayCare. I don't charge Hongbin though; he simply doesn't have the money. He pays me back in other ways though, always offers to house sit when I go back to Korea and shouts me dinner every now and then 

Hongbin's frightened he'll never find someone again because he's a single father - of four - with no job and is about to get kicked out of his house. I keep reminding him that he's gorgeous and he'll find someone. 

I'm gay, so it's not weird that I call my best mate gorgeous. He knows he is too, he's just going through some difficult times so he's down on himself but things will get better for Lee Hongbin

Lots of shouting brought me out of my daydreams and I rushed to see where all the noise was coming from

I ran to the playroom and sighed when I saw Minhyun on top of Juhan, his first raised

"Lee Minhyun! Get off your brother right now before I come over there and neck chop you" I growl quietly

Today was going to be long and interesting for sure

Welcome to Leo's {Not-So} Little Ones

------------------------------------------

That day both males decided that taking out their DayCare children would be great fun, so all the little - and not so little ones in Leo's case - had their packed backpacks strapped to them, hats on and sunscreen smeared all over their bodies to make sure every child could attract a ghostly friend

All six children piled themselves into Ravi's minivan and soon they were off to the park. Wonshik had a feeling, a sense of something shot through him and although he had no idea what it was; it excited him for some strange reason 

On the other side of the city, Leo's van was filled with seven obnoxiously loud children all seemingly upset with the fact that his air conditioning wasn't working 

They arrived at the park and Leo pulled into the car park, stopping the car and jumping out himself so he could help the kids out like the great DayCare father he was

He noticed the same car as his own pull in, and saw it park in the opposite lot to the quiet man. He turned his head though, needing to focus on the children so none of them got lost

He made all seven hold hands, even Hongbin's older boys because he couldn't afford the four boys to run off because they were in a sour mood after being scolded this morning

He carried the baskets full of food with one hand (struggling a great deal) while asking Minhyun, Juhan and Hyunwoo to hold the blankets for him

He had set up and the children had run free in the safe park, apart from 17 month old Valerie who sat and giggled with Leo. He played peak-a-boo and lots of other games to keep the baby entertained (while of course looking out for the others). 

Valerie had suddenly lost focus though and looked behind Leo's shoulder at something. He turned his head and saw a man with colourful hair kicking a ball with a group if children 

Another DayCare father maybe? 

Somehow Leo thought he was right. Takes one to know one, right? DayCare fathers can always tell apart other DayCare fathers. Something Leo had found out over his career 

"Ball!" Valerie giggled and clapped her hands as she watched the group play and Leo had to admit he was impressed with the man's skill...well and his face was pretty amazing too; not to mention how brave he was with his hair

Leo may or may not have drooled slightly over the thought of this man. Of course he didn't...he was a respectable and decent adult who found no interest in petty high-school crushes

At least that's what he kept telling himself as one of the kids misjudged the power in his kick and the ball began rolling towards Leo and Valerie at a high speed 

Leo quickly pulled Valerie into his arms and hunched over her as the ball flew into his shoulder. He heard gasps and the sound of feet thudding on the grass

"Ohmygod are you ok? Jackson say sorry!" He guessed the voice speaking to him was indeed the other DayCare father and he lifted his head up to see him kneeling beside him; his face full of concern and panic

"I'm very sorry Mister" the boy who kicked the ball pouted. "That's ok" Leo smiled softly at the boy who let out a breathe and took his ball before running back over to where he was playing originally 

"I'm very sorry about Jackson, he doesn't know his own strength the poor kid"

Leo looked back at the DayCare father and it took all his strength to make sure his jaw didn't drop.

My God he was gorgeous, was all that Leo could think. How could someone be THAT gorgeous? 

"I'm Wonshik, but the kids call me Ravi" he held out his hand and smiled softly at Leo; who finally let go of Valerie as she ha darted to stir in his arms

"I'm Taekwoon, but the kids call me Leo. How long you been in the business?" Leo shook his hand and couldn't stop himself from smiling back

"A year and a bit, you?"

"Around five and a half"

His eyes widen. "Wow, that's a long time. You must have a supportive partner" Wonshik chuckled awkwardly, secretly hoping that the gorgeous man whose name is Leo was single

"Single, you?"

"Single. I find it difficult to find someone who likes being around snotty five year olds 365 days a year"

"Who would've thought, my problems the same"

Leo found himself opening up to the colourful haired man known as Ravi. Opening up to the extent of both DayCares coming together and having a soccer match - although it did end up as both men versus each other because they were so competitive 

"Where'd you learn to play like that?" Ravi pants as they realise that the children had gone off to play on their own; even Valerie had fallen asleep in the makeshift bed Leo had made for her

Leo found himself becoming suddenly daring, and it shocked him a little - all in a good way though

"How about I tell you over dinner? Say 7:30 tonight, my house?"

"Sounds like a date"

Two one-shots in one day! It's probably never going to happen again haha
