Wedding. Also, bday fic for my Kitty,
junsu_hyung Wednesday, March 14, 2XXX, Jung Yunho and Kim Jaejoong got 'married' with Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu and Shim Changmin as the only witnesses to the beautiful event.
Sadly, the 'newlywed couple' never got a 'honeymoon' because of a little something called parents. From invading Jaejoong's parents' room to making a mess in said room and eating food that was off limits to them and can only be given if approved by the parents, 7 year old Jaejoong, 6 year olds Yunho, Yoochun, Junsu, and 4 year old, Changmin were punished by their respective parents.
One year has passed since that day, Yunho and Jaejoong were spending their days happily as 'husband' and 'wife' much to the annoyance of their friends even if they didn't know how husbands and wives act but soap operas exist for a reason, no? But it didn't end there. Oh no. Both Yunho and Jaejoong, mostly Jaejoong though, were treating baby Changmin the same way little girls treat their baby dolls, as if he was their child. Changmin basked in the attention, Yoochun and Junsu were raging with pure jealousy. Changmin was spending more of his time with his 'Appa' and 'Umma' then Yoochun and Junsu.
This caused the two to think of something that would allow them to get the baby back, where Changmin would belong to one person and one person only for secretly, neither Junsu nor Yoochun liked sharing Changmin with anyone.
So one day, at some birthday party for some kid who's name they don't remember, young Junsu and Yoochun were sitting at the dinner table with their mothers when they overheard a conversation involving engagements and marriages which made imaginary lightbulbs lit themselves on top of their heads.
Jaejoong now belonged to Yunho and Yunho now belonged to Jaejoong and marriage was forever, wasn't it? So, the only way either one of them could keep Changmin forever was through marriage. But with the newfound information, both realized that before marriage comes engagement where one person presents the other with a ring and the recipient either saids yes or no, something Yunho and Jaejoong never did. They knew it was a matter of time before either will realize that and Jaejoong whines to Yunho about wanting a ring.

The next day, on the way from school, 7 year old Junsu was walking beside his mother, holding her hand as he did. They made a small pit stop at the local supermarket, Mrs. Kim needing to buy the ingredients to make dinner. While waiting on line, from the corner of Junsu's eyes, he noticed a toy vending machine filled with lots of capsules and went over, scanning each row until he stopped to one that was holding a ring.
With a smile and a squeal of delight, Junsu dug into his pockets to look for his coin he knew was somewhere in his pocket.
"Found it!" He exclaimed, inserting the coin and pressing the button, watching as the capsule was released and dropped to the bottom of the machine. Excitingly, Junsu pushed the small swinging door and grabbed the capsule, proceeding to jump up and down.
"Yay! Yay!"
"Junsu, we're leaving!" He heard his mother yell out and ran towards her.
With the ring and bag of peanut flavored lollipops he had begged his mother to buy, Junsu was sure he would get Changmin.
*
Somewhere else, young Yoochun and baby brother, Yoohwan, along with their father were currently in a pet store, looking at each dog and trying to pick out the perfect one for Changmin.
It just so happened the day both Yoochun and Junsu had decided to get Changmin engaged to either of them, was Changmin's sixth birthday.
Yoochun wanted to present Changmin with something else and not a ring. Luckily, these past few days, Changmin had been expressing that he wanted a dog. Not that he ever said he wanted one, more like through his actions if him treating Bambi, Yunho's plushie, like one was anything to go by.
"So, which one should we buy for Changmin?"
He heard his father ask, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Um..." He took another glance at the puppies inside their medium size cages located behind a glass wall, barking and pawing at the bars.
"Well?"
"That one!" Yoochun pointed to a white Maltese puppy. It's cute like Changmin. He thought happily.
"A Maltese, huh? They're small, don't grow big. Alright, let's buy it."
Watching his father going through the process needed to buy the dog, Yoochun grinned, believing that Changmin would be his.

Changmin's birthday had finally come.
In the living room, surrounded by other kids their age, Yunho and Jaejoong sat on the couch, sharing a bowl of chips as they watched the movie the mothers had put on for them, unaware of what was going on in Changmin's room.
*
"Will you marry me?!" The two shouted at the same time, Junsu holding out the ring and bag of lollipops and Yoochun holding out the Maltese puppy wrapped with a bow around his neck.
Changmin titled his head in confusion, not understanding the question at all, but his eyes were focused on the lollipops and the small puppy.
While Changmin pondered over the question, Yoochun and Junsu took this time to glare at each other and once again shout, "He's mine!"
The statement only made them glare at each other harder and adding in growls.
"He's not yours! He's mine!" Junsu snarled.
"No, he's not! He's mine!" Yoochun equally snarled back.
Yoochun put the puppy down, Junsu put the items down, and Yoochun tackled Junsu to the ground before the other boy could have a chance to do anything. They rolled on the ground, both trying to top the other.
Changmin scooped the Maltese puppy and the gift from Junsu into his arms and immediately retreated to his bed to escape the fighting boys. The baby observed them and noticed the way their fighting was getting dangerous. He opened his mouth wide, ready to scream for his parents, but stopped when he noticed two figures standing by his doorway.
"What are you guys doing?!" Jaejoong yells. Sometime during the movie, Jaejoong had noticed the absence of the three boys and was thinking of looking in every place possible for them. He was glad he listened to Yunho when he said they might be in Changmin's room.
Yoochun and Junsu quickly got up and straighten their clothes.
"Fighting." Junsu grumbles.
"Over what?" Yunho asks.
"Changmin." Yoochun answers.
"What?! Why are you fighting over my baby?!"
"He's not yours!" The two boys shout back.
"What do you mean he's not mine?! He's my baby!"
"No. he's not!"
"Yes, he is!"
"No. he's not!"
"Yes, he is!"
"No. he's not!"
"Yes, he is!"
"No. he's not!"
"Yes, he is!" Jaejoong pounced the two boys, sending them to the ground.
Yunho watched in shock. Out of all things, he was not expecting Jaejoong to do that. He was sure that if they were in a cartoon, his jaw would touch the ground and there be a ball of dust or smoke around the three boys.
Not ready to deal with them yet, Yunho decides to check up on Changmin who was now in the farthest corner of his bed, holding the puppy tightly, but not tight enough to hurt him.
"Changmin?"
"Yun-Yun." Changmin whimpers and Yunho frowns.
"Ah." The capsule beside Changmin catches his attention and he asks the baby about it.
"Junsu asked to marry."
Yunho thinks for a moment, trying to piece everything together, and he does, probably not everything, but at least some idea. He was mostly likely risking his own life with the next question, but the boys were too busy in trying to kill each other, he sees no harm.
"Changmin, who do you like most, Junsu or Yoochun?"
Changmin takes his eyes off his fighting hyungs and stares at Yunho with big, confused eyes.
He liked his Yoo-Yoo. Yoochun would often sneak sweets for him and kept an eye out for the adults so he could eat them. Yoochun would let him play his game systems, commanding him to press this button or that button and he enjoyed that. Pressing buttons was fun.
But he also liked his Su-Su. Junsu sacrificed his own teddy bear for him after his sister accidentally ripped his and he had cried for several days about it. Junsu was always there for him and beating up anyone who picked on him.
Yunho saw the way Changmin's eyes were starting to glisten and he realized he was about to cry.
Changmin didn't understand why Yunho had asked such a thing. He couldn't choose, he liked them both. Why was Yunho being mean to him? Why was Jaejoong yelling? Why was he fighting with Junsu and Yoochun?
He sniffed once, twice, three times, tears were already sliding down his cheeks, four times and he wailed.
Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu stopped their fighting when they heard it.
"Why did you do to him?!" They instantly put the blame on Yunho who was right beside Changmin.
"What?! I did nothing!"
"Su-Su! Su-Su!" Changmin cried the first name that came to his mind.
Junsu ran over to Changmin who wrapped his arms around the older boy as soon as he was close to him.
"It's okay, Changmin. I'm here." Junsu rubbed the baby's back and whispered soothing words.
Yoochun and Jaejoong took this as a sign that they were defeated never knowing that whenever Changmin cried, Junsu was there to comfort him and it became a habit for the baby to call for Junsu. Until several years later.
*
"WHAAAAAAAAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
"Not so loud, Yoochun. And yes, I'm serious. The only reason why I called out for Junsu that day was because he was always around whenever I cried and he would cheer me up. Not because I liked him more then you."
"I can not believe this."
"I can't believe it either." Jaejoong said in disbelief.
"Oh well. Who cares? Changmin is mine now." Junsu proudly spoke, wrapping an arm around Changmin's waist and bringing the younger man closer to him.
The action makes two black-haired men growl in anger.
"Junsu, I think you better run." Changmin warns, getting out of Junsu's hold.
"Good idea." Within two seconds, Junsu is out of his seat and running away from the two angry men.
"GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE, YOU STUPID DUCK BUTT!"
"Changmin, don't you think you should do something?" Yunho asks once Jaejoong and Yoochun have finally caught Junsu and tackled him to the ground.
"As long as they don't kill him and damage his butt, I'm okay with whatever they do. It's really his fault for not telling the truth."
"Help me!"
Yunho chuckles and shakes his head, getting up from his seat and makes his away to the three men.
"Yah! You guys are adults! Act like one!"
Changmin hears, laughter escaping his mouth, amused at the scene before him. Unconsciously, a hand moves up to play with the silver chain carrying a toy ring around his neck making the gold band around his left finger shine brightly under the sun's rays.
A/N: Happy birthday, Kitty! ^^ I really don't know if I still made it in time and it's still your birthday where you are, because it's already the 29th here. >.>
