Child At Heart

Title: Child at Heart Chapter 8
Rating: PG-13 for language
Length: 1057  words
Pairing: HanHae
Summary: Han Geng thinks that Donghae would make a good little brother, and denies that his affections could lay in any other direction. Unfortunately for him, he may just find that you should be careful what you ask for, Some wishes have a nasty habit of coming true.



“LEETEUK-HYUNG!!”

Han Geng jerks awake, and sits up sleepily. He shoots an annoyed glance at the clock. That was NOT enough sleep. Especially since he’d been awake half the night worrying over Donghae’s slip of the tongue, if that’s what it was.

What the hell is Siwon doing being so loud this early? What ever it is, he still has another hour he can sleep.

Han Geng flops back down on his pillow but sits right back up at the next sound that echoes through the dorm.

Is that crying? Why would there being someone crying at this time of night? Or morning.

Han Geng shivers as he pulls the covers off, and rolls out of bed.

It IS. But he doesn’t have a clue what a kid should be doing in their dorm, because the crying can’t belong to anyone over the age of five.

Han Gen peaks out of his room, and sees Leeteuk exit his own, stifling a yawn with  one hand. For a moment they share a bemused glance, what have their band mates gotten up to now? but  Leeteuk eventually heads down the hall, Han Geng falling in step behind him, curiosity over taking his urge to go back to bed.

So much for sleeping.

“Siwon where are you?” Leeteuk calls out softly. Probably trying not to wake the others…. Not that he really thinks that they could have slept through Siwon’s racket.

“I-in Donghae’s room”

That’s enough to rid Han Geng of any last notion he had of going back to sleep.

Donghae? Was something wrong with Donghae? Had he gotten sick from the night before?

Han Geng tries to calm himself, but can’t to stop from picking up the pace, heart hammering. He quickly catches up to Leeteuk.

The two quickly reach Donghae’s room, and see Siwon standing with the strangest look on his face.

Leeteuk open’s his mouth to speak, but Han Geng beats him to it. “What’s wrong Siwon? Is something wrong with Donghae?”

Siwon’s mouth moves soundlessly, and he gives a helpless glance in to the room, and back to his hyungs. Eventually he manages to make his mouth work, About time Han Geng thinks, he was about ready to shove the man aside and storm into Donghae’s room himself.

“Well, I uh, wouldn’t say wrong exactly, but uh… maybe you should just look yourself.”

Leeteuk walks up to the door, and freezes. “Um, well, shit.”

Han Geng’s eyebrows threaten to disappear into his hair. That was far from the well-spoken leader he knew. What the could have caused him to react that way?

By now the crying has gotten louder, and Han Geng doesn’t think he can take another second of just standing there, and moves Siwon over so he can see. The sight that meets him is both somehow what he expected and not what he had expected at the same time.

Big brown eyes stare back at him and a tiny hand rubs at a face glistening with tears. Donghae’s eyes. Staring back from a kids face. Not Donghae and a kid, but just a kid.

What. The. Hell.

When the child sees him, He sniffles, and stops crying, a shaky smile sliding onto a small mouth.

“Gege!”

No way. This- This was impossible, some kind of prank that Donghae had planned. Dimly, Han Geng wonders if Heechul was in on this, it seemed like his kind of stupid elaborate joke. But still…

That child looked remarkably like Donghae’s baby pictures. Identical in fact, to the ones his mother had shown Han Geng that on time Donghae had dragged him to go meet his family. Donghae had complained and blushed, eventually lapsing into mortified silence as his mother cooed over all the baby photos while his hyung looked over her shoulder.

Han Geng had mentally cooed over the adult Donghae’s reaction, not that he’d ever admit it. But he definitely remembered what those photos looked like.

The small boy’s lip trembles a bit and curls into a pout when Han Geng doesn’t react, and he struggles out from the cocoon of blankets and tries to get off the bed.

Its too far to the ground however, and Han Geng snaps out of his daze before the boy can fall to the floor, quickly moving across the room to scoop him up into his arms.  The boy laughs in glee and snuggles up against him.

“Gege!”

Han Geng awkwardly holds the boy, and shoots Leeteuk a helpless glance.

“What is going on here?”

Leeteuk and Siwon look as bemused as Han Geng feels.  Honestly what kind of explanation is there for finding a child in your co-worker’s room?

Siwon ventures, “Is that…..Donghae?”

He looks closely at the child in his arms, who stares up at him with adoring eyes. The kid has Donghae’s eyes, Donghae’s nose, Donghae’s mouth, even the chin!

A terrifying certainty creeps over Han Geng.

“I think….it just might be.”

Leeteuk groans, and rubs a hand over his face. “This is not what I signed up for. Can’t anything be normal with you boys?”

The child,  no, Donghae, giggles and cuddles into Han Geng’s chest, chubby arms wrapping around his neck. “Geng Gege!”

Han Geng’s eyes widen in panic, and he gives the boy a stilted smile. Donghae, calling him like that. Like he was nothing more than- than his big brother! It felt… wrong. Especially coming form the mouth of someone so much smaller.

Leeteuk laughs, hysteria lending it a slight edge. “Well, Geng, you did say you wanted Donghae as you’re little brother. It looks like You’ve got you’re wish.”

Well he had hadn’t he? And he’d meant it. So why was it so odd then?

Han Geng shoves the thought aside, and glares at Leeteuk. “This isn’t funny. Donghae could have gotten sick from last night, and if he really IS this, this kid, then what are we going to do?”

Leeteuk looks chagrined and cringes. “I’m sorry Geng, its just, I don’t even know how to react here. Why do you do when you find out your friend has turned into a toddler?”

Han Geng raises his eyebrows, but nods in understanding. What were they supposed to do?

Siwon apparently has an idea, and so breaks the ensuing silence with a horrified whisper. “I’m not the one telling manager hyung.”






Soo... sorry for the wait >.< plus this chapter ended up being kinda crack, which I'm not too happy with. But really, how do you deal with your friend turning into a kid? its going to be very surreal at first, ne? So, once that settles in.....

Also. I think HanHae needs a Comm. do we have one already? I've never seen an active one, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. I was just thinking if maybe we had a place to gather HanHae fic and pic and graphics and teh like, maybe the fandom would pick up a little, since i feel like we get lost in the busy of places like Miracle TT.TT

honestly I'm just desperate lol. Fandom has slowed down so much >.<

I really loved this chapter. I know you think it came off kind of "crack-ish," but the reactions were so real that it was anything but. (In fact, I love the fact that Teukie was laughing with just a wee bit of hysterics, that would have been my problem!)

There used to be a HanHae a Day comm but it never got popular. I don't think it's even active any more, which is sad. (And you're right, we're kind of a lost group among the SuJu fans. So sad!)

I can't wait to read the next chapter!

hehehe thanks <3 that makes me feela little better, lol.

this is such a crack idea that its pretty hard to manage the crack aspect of without it turning into "OMG SUPER SERIOUS MELODRAMA" and not drifting in other direction into "WTF IS THIS?"

Hmmm, Well maybe....

Honestly I think what I REALLY want is a Donghae Rare!Pair comm. I'm so biased that I ship Donghae with everyone BUT his OTP's of Kihae and Eunhae, and its hard to find fic for any pairings besides those two >.<

But I dunno, i just really think HanHae needs some space of its own. If we could get that, maybe affiliate with some other comms, (am i the only one that looks at those? I've found some pretty cool places that way) that maybe we could drum up some new interest in fandom.

*shrugs*

[identity profile] summer0smiles.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I've search high and low for one, there used to be a HanHae community but it wasn't very active. :( I know right... we're like lost little kids roaming the big 'Miracle' streets. Lol.

Ah, I'm loving each and every one of their reaction towards this and there is nothing I wouldn't hope to look forward to the next chapter. :D

[identity profile] melodyprower11.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
hehe, Well, Like i said to Miracleshining, I think what I'm really craving is actually a Donghae Rare!Pair Comm, Since I ship more than just HanHae and the other pairings are also less numerous that his OTP's (Kihae and Eunhae) but a large margin.

But I was hoping if we had a comm and could do some smart promoting, affiliating and the like, and we did try and keep it active, that maybe we could drum up some new interest in fandom. *sighs*

and thanks hehehehe~ <3 this chapter was hard, to get reactions to a totally crack situation without it descending into crack level territory.

Saranghae!

Haha, I'm not sure if I will or not, Its kinda nagging at my mind, but is there enough people to keep it active? I know I still write HanHae, and make the occasional graphic, and so does One or two other people I know... but do we have enough to keep a comm going?

*sighs*

♥♥♥ so adorable... I think this chapter feels really real -- it's a just a bit of a funny/weird situation, can't be helped... I ♥ it a lot though... HanGeng got his wish, but he ofcourse didn't think it would come true in any way... but Hae instantly reacting to Han Geng *so cute* *squish* ...
Looking forward to more! ♥

Well there you go Geng you got what you wished for heheheh~
If you wished to be with Haw it may be get true too ~ *smirk*
kid!Haw is soooo cute *pinch his cheeks*
god can't wait for the next

and about the comm I know one but wasn't active *sigh* , I wanted to do one but I wasn't sure about it so I did my graphics comm *sigh*

[identity profile] melodyprower11.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
hehehehe~ Possibly he might~

Hmmm, yeah that seems to be the reaction I'm getting from most people. Maybe if there was one? do we have enough people who'd be willing to post that we could keep it active? I mean, if we spread it out to general HanHae comm, maybe... not just fic....

[identity profile] us-jessica.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
I know enough people who love HanHae but not sure if they can keep it active , I mean if it's up to me I will keep it active since I have pics,fics,gif,graphics,videos about these two , so I don't know

[identity profile] jarield.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm not surprised that you put some sort of supernatural twist in this fic...
The last two chappies are love!!!
Well, it's nice to see some humor put in here. Because evrything has been like almost too angsty in the earlier fics.
KidHae is just so cute and I wann squish him!

I love Siwon the most in this chappie...

[identity profile] melodyprower11.livejournal.com 2011-04-14 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
haha~ You know me, I love supernatural stuff. Its kinda my thing XD.

Yeah, orginally the first 7 chapters were all meant to be posted in one chunk, but i split them up, and posted them slower so i could work on the fic as i posted. When it was read all together I think the angst worked a little more... fluidly. by breaking it up it ended up feeling a little too... long and drawn out. >.<

but I love Kid!Hae <3 I really wish i could meet Donghae in Kid version.

Siwon is fun haha. and i fun character to write. He can be cool and smooth and turn right around and hang on his hyungs, and be a little...more... *shrugs* i dunno how to put it ^^' he's just fun.

THanks for reading, and sorry for the delayed reply >.
