35 U-Kiss Fic Challenge Prompt: 13. In A Kingdom Far, Far Away [Dongho/Kiseop]
Warnings: Awful!English
Author's Notes: Muahaha, surprised it isn't the Kemaru prompt first? Well, I'm waiting till I get happier because I used the Ki Brothers angsty thing before, don't want the carbon copy appearing. Besides, Kemaru-stans need some happy vibe instead of sad ones, so wait till I get a happy inspirations, okay? :D This has Kemaru anyway.
“Would you marry me?”
Kevin stared with wide eyes, and there were no hint of happiness in his eyes. The rest of the members stared at the one on his knees like he was an alien. A brainless one.
“I'm kidding. I meant a date at the newly opened park.”
“Oh, Kibummie-hyung! You know I'd say yes!” Kevin immediately gushed, falling forward into Kibum's strong arms. The members returned back to their tasks on hand. Alexander continued arguing with Soohyun, Eli stared at the battle while Kiseop and Dongho watched television.
Kevin and Kibum has been a couple since forever. Kevin's happy with the current situation and never thought of marriage. Kibum knew it and likes to tease the younger one with things related to marriage just so he could see the adorable reactions of his boyfriend.
“But...” Kevin sighed and his eyes turned towards Dongho. “What about our baby?”
“Oh gosh! I'm not your baby! Go out, hold hands, hug, kiss, do whatever you want! Don't bother me!” Dongho groaned when he realised the couple's eyes on him.
“And because I'm older than you, I have every right to send you to the market to buy groceries!” Alexander announced justifiedly, glaring at Soohyun. “You're not allowed to ruin HoneyVin's date with Kibummie, no, no, no! Not again, not ever!”
“Thank you, Xander-hyung!” Kevin smiled an angelic smile towards the oldest member.
“Anything for you, sweetie! Now get out and have fun!” Alexander chased them and Soohyun out but Kevin quickly pulled Kibum with him to a safer side of the house.
“Wait! Kiseop, oh pretty Kiseop with the kindest heart!” Kiseop looked alarm, eyes tearing away from the television screen to stare at Kevin in disbelief. “Xander-hyung's learning how to make cheesecakes from Eli, won't you take care of Dongho for me? Read him a story! He loves fairy tales!”
“I so do not!” Dongho shouted, face filled with annoyance and embarrassment.
“No yelling at your mother, young man.” Kibum gave a threatening look, immediately causing the youngest to look down at the floor in fear.
“I see pictures of fairy tales' characters all over your room, sweetie!” Kevin giggled towards himself, giving Kibum a quick peck before running to their room. “Give me a minute, I want to change into something prettier!”
“I said never to enter my room!” Dongho whined, pout on his face.
Kibum turned to stare at Kiseop, successfully making him jump up and agree silently. “I'm on it! I'm on it!”
The couple then left the dormitory, all disguise unnecessary since Kevin changed into a long shirt with baby blue skinny jeans, looking like a girl with that figure. They'd look like a normal couple on a date, looking less suspicious without masks, sunglasses and caps. Alexander warned them to avoid public eye anyway, before pulling U-Kiss's very own great chef for help on baking cakes.
“Come on, to your room.” Kiseop yawned, switching off the television and dragging the very unwilling Dongho with him.
“I'm too old for that kiddish thing! I'm seventeen!”

“Once upon a time, in a Kingdom far, far away...” Kiseop started, disregarding the whines Dongho was making. “There was a magical boy named Dongho.”
Dongho immediately shut up.
“No one knew he was magical, because he was really just like every other boy.” Dongho instantly pouted, cheeks chubby as he puffed them with air.
“His magical power was the ability to knit weapons against evil and armours for the good.”
Dongho's face quickly brightened up. “Really?”
“Yep.” Kiseop nodded, focusing on the story he created. “One day, all the evil people gathered to come up with a plan to take over the world.”
Dongho gasped, all into the story. Kiseop gave him a horrified face. “We can't let them win!
“Evil shall not reign!” Dongho shook his head firmly.
“Exactly! That's what Dongho said! So the erm...the Mayor from Powerpuff Girls asked the citizens to gather. They were going to devise a plan against the evils!”
“Oh! Powerpuff! They kick asses!” Dongho clapped happily.
“Kevin will kill me when he hears your foul language. Anyway, what happened is that the Powerpuff Girls were sick! With colds, because they usually share things. Sisters, you see.” Kiseop narrated.
“Oh no! We don't have any more super heroes?” Dongho gave a sad face. “We have to win!”
“We have the seven dwarfs, fairy godmother, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Genie, all the prince and princesses, Harry Potter...”
“Even Harry Potter!” Dongho looked genuinely fascinated, while Kiseop continued coming up with the good people names in story books.
“Anyway, there were many good people, but there are many bad people like Mojo Jojo, Captain Hook, Lord Voldermort, Evil Queen, Evil Stepmother, Evil Sea Creature, a variety too.”
“Ooh, the battle of the universe!” Dongho grinned. “The good side will win!”
“Oh, there's Teen Titans too.” Kiseop added, before turning solemn. “But you see, Powerpuff Girls weren't the only few sick. Many of the good side people fell sick because they sent that little guy...erm...Plankton! Right, Plankton from Spongebob Squarepants to spread the virus.”
“Oh no!”
“That's when Dongho saw his idol, Bubbles, walking in, all weak and...short.” Kiseop scratched his head. Making up fairy tales aren't a piece of cake at all. Probably a giant lump of unbaked flour (like the one in the kitchen right now).
“Bubbles! The Powerpuff blonde with two pigtails! My darling!” Dongho cried out.
“Dongho’s heart broke at the sight of the poor super girl, so he put his newly knitted scarf around the girl, shyly smiling at her.” Kiseop said, watching as Dongho blushed. “She thanked him with a kiss on Dongho’s cheeks, instantly getting better from the cold because of the magical scarf. Bubbles then told this to her sisters, who shared the scarf with her and got well too. The three girls then told the mayor, and soon, Dongho was filled with orders for his magical scarfs.”
“Wow.” Dongho widened his eyes. “Must be really busy!”
“Yep, so Dongho knitted day and night, not wanting to sleep because he wanted to play a part in save the world.” Kiseop made a knitting action. “He knitted scarfs, sweaters, beanies, all kinds. He got really tired, but he forced himself to keep knitting.”
“Aww, I wouldn’t be so hardworking.” Dongho guiltily pouted.
“You would, if you are in the situation in where the moment you stop, the Earth might be in the hands of evil.” Kiseop nodded, assuring Dongho that he wasn’t that bad. “Anyway, he ran out of material so he went to a nearby shop to buy some.”
“Oooh, what happens there?” Dongho questioned curiously.
“Erm...” Kiseop pondered for a while. “He met this man who was selling the thread. Dongho stole a glance at the nametag, which had the name Lee Kiseop on it.”
“You’re in too!”
“Hmm...Because Dongho brought his knitting needles everywhere, he ended up sitting down and knitting scarfs there. As he was knitting, Kiseop started chatting with him, knowing he was the magical knitting boy.”
“Knitting boy! I have a name!” Dongho clapped his hands excitedly. “The name sounds a bit weird but it’s cute!”
“Erm...yeah! Yeah, that’s your name.” Kiseop nodded furiously, although never once really thinking about naming Dongho’s character. “Kiseop then asked if knitting was getting boring. He has to knit such a supply for all the superheroes. Dongho sighed and agreed, but he wanted to do his part in helping the world.”
“Poor me.” Dongho pouted cutely. “How many things have I knitted already, anyway?”
“I’ll help you!” Kiseop shouted and punched a fist into the air. “Kiseop announced, and then taking out a magical wand. He told Dongho that he just have to knit the first row, and Kiseop would use magic to finish up. Dongho grinned happily, doing as Kiseop said.”
“Wow, lifesaver!”
“Dongho then brought home his (sort of) works, promising to return the next day for more help.” Kiseop then changed his voice, waving at Dongho. “Come anytime~!”
“Soon, Dongho has enough knitted material for all the superheroes! Thus, every superhero wore their own armour and got ready for battle!” Kiseop declared, taking swords out of Dongho’s collection. “Ooh, you have swords.”
“I have lightsabers too! Wait!” Dongho stood up and opened his closet taking out two lightsabers for the both of them. “What happens next?”
“Because of Dongho’s sweaters, everyone magically recovered from their colds, then got into positions. The dark side has also gotten ready, and they were prepared to fight. The battle will start in five, four, three, two-”
“ONE!” Dongho screamed, and started slashing the air with his lightsaber. “Yahhhh!”
“Erm, no. That’s the dark side. The good side used Dongho’s scarfs to tie around the enemies, before tightening and suffocating them. They then fell to the ground to gasp for air before dying.” Kiseop winced. “Maybe that’s too gory?”
“Nevermind! Let them die!”
“Okay...well then, the good side won the battle and the residents of the world lived happily ever after.” Kiseop concluded. “Dongho didn’t forget the help of Kiseop so the both of them got rewarded with everything they wanted. The end.”
“Woohoo!” Dongho grinned, jumping around happily. “We won~! Oh yeah! We won!”
Kiseop chuckled. “Now, would you please go to bed?”
Dongho pouted sadly for a while, before falling onto his bed. “I don’t want to sleep yet...”
“Close your eyes and you would. Or would you rather do homework?” A hand was raised to the younger’s head, ruffling his hair. Kiseop smiled as Dongho instantly shut his eyes at the mention of “homework”.
The older man then stood up and covered Dongho with his blanket. Tucking him into bed, Kiseop stayed on to hum a lullaby for Dongho to aid him in entering dreamland. After making sure the youngest member was sleeping, he carefully stood up to kiss Dongho’s forehead like a real older brother.
“Sweet dreams.”

“Kiseop! Kiseop! Kiseop~!” Kevin called out the minute he got home. Soohyun was already on his second serving of the cheesecake Alexander and Eli made (more of Eli because Alexander’s quite a fail).
“Yeah?” Kiseop asked from his position at the dining table, carefully savouring the cheesecake, unlike Soohyun who was more about quantity.
“How’s my baby?!” Kevin spotted the slightly older member and rushed to him, with Kibum shaking his head behind him.
“He’s fine, sleeping.” Kiseop smiled, finally understanding why Kevin likes to baby Dongho so much. It was fun making up a story for Dongho, seeing him gasp and grin at the right times, totally into the situation. “Enjoyed your date?”
Kevin quickly blushed, looking shyly at his boyfriend. “There were many children flying kites, running around, colouring the sky. We took a picture with that as a background and he told the foreign man to take another one, where he sneaked a kiss. We ended up flying kites too, and it was really great! You guys should come along. Oh, and Dongho would love it! Kibummie-hyung, you think we can bring Dongho too?”
“Why not?” Kibum smiled, surprised when Kiseop shared an enthusiastic grin.
“Enough of talking! Cheesecakes!” Alexander announced, taking out plates with cheesecakes for the couple. “Someone go wake Dongho!”
“I’ll go.” Kiseop raised his hand and offered, causing Kevin and Kibum to stare at him quizzically. “May I?”
“Sure!” Kevin beamed, taking a bite of the cake when Kibum held up some with his fork. “Thank you, Kiseop!”
Kiseop smiled, shaking his head as a sign that it was fine, before turning into Dongho’s room. Besides, it would be a cute scene to see, wouldn’t it?
The scene of baby Dongho stretching and then yawning awake, smiling cheekily before saying, “Kiseop-hyung! You wouldn’t believe what I dreamt of!”
