Found Father AU

It’s in the first few weeks of having Taemin at home that Jinki realizes that while yes, Taemin is just a couple months shy of his thirteenth birthday, he’s still just a child. It’s when Jinki walks up behind the couch to see what Taemin has turned on Disney Plus (after being excited beyond belief that Jinki even had an account in the first place and of course had a profile all set up for his new adopted son).

Because Taemin is watching a Pooh Bear something-or-other. And he’s lying down on the couch cuddled up under a blanket, and he’s totally absorbed in the cartoon.

“Will you watch it with me?” Taemin asks softly, looking up at Jinki from beneath the blanket cocoon, he’s eyes looking impossibly big.

Jinki opens his mouth and closes it a couple times, then just moves around the couch to sit with Taemin. And Taemin, despite still being somewhat shy, wastes no time in curling up close to Jinki.

“So you like Pooh Bear?”

“He’s my favorite,” Taemin whispers. “And Eeyore. And Tigger. But mostly Pooh.”

When Pooh ends up stuck in a honey pot, Taemin giggles and giggles and giggles, and Jinki just chuckles along too. It’s sweet, seeing how happy the silly old bear makes him.

“I think if I was Christopher Robin,” Taemin starts after a while, “that you would be my Winnie the Pooh.”

“Oh really?” Jinki asks, a big grin on his face. “And would you bring me honey every day?”

“Every day.”

Jinki chuckles more and holds Taemin close.

“And Uncle Minho would be Tigger.”

It makes Jinki laugh loudly, and he huddles over to smile at Taemin, who’s still smiling and giggling right back.

“And just who would Uncle Kibum be?” Jinki dares to ask.

“Rabbit.” Jinki hugs Taemin and laughs more, especially when he follows up with, “Or maybe Owl. Since he’s such a know-it-all too.”

“You’re so mean to Uncle Kibum.”

“But it’s funny when I do it,” Taemin challenges, a smirk on his face.

They go to a weekly dinner at Kibum and Minho’s apartment that Friday, and Jinki brings up the Pooh Bear thing. Taemin only blushes just a bit, but he does smirk and laugh obnoxiously when Kibum gets offended over being Rabbit or Owl.

“Well I don’t think our Taeminnie would be Christopher Robin,” Kibum scoffs, sitting back in his chair.

“Then just who would I be?” Taemin scoffs right back, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Easy. Roo.”

“I’m not a baby!”

“Or would you rather be Piglet?”

“I am not Piglet!” Taemin whines. Then he turns to Jinki and says, “Tell him I’m not Piglet!”

“It’s okay,” Jinki humors him, and he puts an arm around Taemin’s shoulders. “You can still be Christopher Robin.”

Taemin pouts the entire rest of the night, but mainly because Kibum keeps teasing him about being Roo and Piglet.

“Or maybe you can be Eeyore since you’re such a grump,” Kibum teases him, patting his head after putting a piece of cake down in front of him. “Why don’t you eat your cake and stop being so grumpy.”

Taemin takes a huge forkful of cake and frowns even as he chews it.

When Taemin’s thirteenth birthday rolls around and Kibum and Minho give him a Pooh Bear blanket along with the rest of his gifts, he tries to pretend like he’s too old for it and that only babies would want a Pooh Bear blanket. Kibum and Minho know he likes it though, that he’s just being a difficult little teenager.

Jinki also assures them that Taemin loves it by constantly sending them pictures of Taemin curled up on the couch his new favorite blanket - the Winnie the Pooh blanket. Kibum eventually frames one and keeps it front and center for Taemin to see when they come over for dinner one weekend. Taemin pouts and frowns and huffs and scoffs and acts like all teenagery about it, insisting that it’s just cold on the couch and he just needs any old blanket. Kibum and Minho know it’s all an act.
