A/n: Wanted to post something so here you go! :) I'll post some more tomorrow
"Wait….." Minho said, shushing thomas.
"What?" he asked confused.
"You hear that?" Minho asked in a whisper.
"Hear what?"
"Exactly." Minho said with a wide grin.
It took Thomas a moment, but when he finally caught on, a wide grin broke out on his face. "Are they sleeping? Actually sleeping?"
"I think so." Minho said, sighing as he leaned back into their couch. "You know what that means?"
"Yeah." Thomas said, relaxing next to his husband. "I can finally hear myself think."
Minho snickered. "We should really take advantage of this new found quietness."
Thomas snorted. "How long do you think it will last?"
"Hopefully long enough. Come on, let's watch a movie or something."
Thomas nodded. "Okay, you can pick." So Minho gets up and browses through their movie collection, before picking out something neither of them have seen. Minho pops the DVD in the DVD player before sitting back down on the couch next to Thomas, who promptly wraps himself around Minho.
"You've always been the cuddly type."
"Shut up and hold me, shank." Thomas replied, but in a playful manner.
So Minho did as he was told, pulling Thomas closer to him, placing a soft kiss on top of Thomas' forehead. The movie they were watching was okay, but kind of boring. Nothing was happening, and so the couple just kind of sat in a comfortable silence.
"Have you ever heard of the first time challenge?" Thomas asked, out of the blue.
Minho had to do a double take. "The first time what?!"
Thomas laughed. "The first time challenge! I've been watching a lot of YouTube lately."
Minho nodded his head slightly in agreement. "Okay…. and to answer your question, no I have not."
Thomas smiled. "We should do it!"
Minho paused. "Do it….?"
Thomas nodded excitedly. "Yeah!"
"Like….it?" Minho clarified.
"Yes, Minho, what do you think I'm talking about?"
Minho blinked. "We'll it just that…..we've already done it…"
"What, no we…..wait a minute, Minho!"
"What?!" Minho shot his hands up in innocence. "You said it!"
"That. Is. Not. What I. Was talking. About!" Thomas said, while beating Minho with one of the couch pillows.
"Hey! Ow! That hurts! Ouch! I'm sorry! Will you stop!" Minho pleaded, but really he couldn't stop laughing.
"Seriously, let's do it." Thomas encouraged.
"Okay, you first." Minho said.
"Well, the goal is to name all of your first times."
"All of them?" Minho asked, raising both eyebrows.
Thomas shrugged. "At least all the important ones. So like….remember the first time we went to an amusement park?"
Minho smiled brightly. "Yeah! We had never been so our Mom's got together and took us over summer vacation. Remember the first roller coaster we rode?"
Thomas laughed. "Yeah, Teresa had already been, so she picked the biggest one she could find to go on first."
Minho was laughing too. "You were so nervous and shaky, you wouldn't let go of my hand."
"That was also the first time I realized how deathly afraid of heights I am." Thomas said.
"It was also the first time you ever held my hand." Minho said, with a soft smile.
Thomas punched him in the arm. "Whatever, it's your turn."
Minho smiled, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Remember our first sleepover?"
Thomas bursted with laughter. "Ssh! You'll wake the kids!" Minho scolded playfully.
"Oh my god! We had been begging our parents to the spend the night at each other's house for years!"
"Yeah, I think we were in third grade when we finally had one?"
Thomas nodded. "Yeah. I remember the first one we had was at my house and we were so…..innocent."
Minho snorted. "I know. We stayed up like, what? An hour past our bedtime?"
"We tried going to midnight and we didn't even make it to ten o'clock!" Thomas laughed.
"And we didn't even have any junk food. We ate mac and cheese and fell asleep watch Scooby Doo."
Thomas snickered. "Remember our first sleepover at your house?" Thomas asked.
"That one was ten times better!" Minho laughed. "My parents absolutely did not care!"
"We actually stayed up past midnight that time."
"Yeah, we were on a shucking sugar high! Unlike you, I knew where my parents hid all the junk food."
Thomas couldn't stop laughing. "I remember we were trying to pass some unbelievably hard level at some video game, and we fell asleep, controls still in hand."
"Yeah, my gaming system overheated and shut down." Minho said, wiping a tear from his eye. "We lost all that data in the game."
"That was the first time I ever saw you so utterly upset."
"Remember our first fight?" Minho asked.
"Yeah, you shank!" Thomas said, punching Minho hard in the shoulder. "You had the audacity to like the same girl as me in fifth grade!"
Minho snorted. "She was cute."
"I called dibs first!"
"You're gay, why does it matter?"
"You're gay, why were you trying to take her away from me?"
"We're both gay, this argument is irrelevant!" Minho laughed.
Thomas crossed his arms and pouted like a little kid. "I called dibs first."
"Yeah, we'll, I call dibs on you so ha!" Minho said, kissing Thomas' cheek.
Thomas blushed. "Remember the first time we kissed?"
Minho blushed. "Yeah, I tried to lean in and then I stepped on your foot. You asked me what I was trying to do and I didn't want to tell you, so I leaned in again. You moved out the way and I ended up banging my head on the wall."
Thomas giggled. "I thought you were gonna tickle me or something! I got scared!"
Minh rolled his eyes. "Gee Thomas, we had been dating for like a month, what did you think I was trying to do?"
"I don't know, you're Minho! I was thinking the worst!"
"Okay, but the first time I kissed your cheek, you didn't act like I was trying to bite it off!"
"That was different!" Thomas giggled again. "We had just been on our first date and we were hugging goodbye when you turned and kissed my cheek."
"Only because your parents were right there!"
"Remember the first time Chuck found us kissing?" Thomas asked.
"Yeah, we were making out in your bed when he walked in." Minho laughed. "And then he proceeded to ask which one of us was the girlfriend."
Thomas sighed. "And Teresa's big mouth yelled out my name."
Minho laughed, but Thomas didn't find it amusing. After a while, the laughter died down, and the couple sat on the couch in silence. Their movie had been long forgotten, and had to be halfway over by now.
But then Minho got this fond smile on his face. "Remember the first we decided to have kids?"
Thomas snorted. He knew he shouldn't be laughing at such a sentimental question, but he couldn't help it. "By have, you mean adopt, right?"
Minho punched him playfully in the arm. "Shank. And yeah, obviously."
Thomas smiled. "I think I was the one to bring it up, right?"
Minho nodded. "We had been married for a year, and your parents, as well as mine, wanted some grandchildren. Only Teresa had already given your parents one and I'm an only child." Minho said with a smile. "We came home from a Christmas party, both our families, little kids running around, opening presents. I remember us coming home and you being so…..sad."
Thomas sighed. "I said I wanted that. I wanted a house full of laughing children. Hearing the impatient tearing of presents, dozens of tiny snow angels in the backyard, the smell of burning sugar cookies." he added with a laugh.
Minho leaned his head on Thomas' shoulder. "And then I told you that we could have that….if you really wanted to."
Thomas snorted. "And then I laughed, because that whole first year we were married you talked about how awesome it was. All the alone time, the fun trips, the honeymoon"
"The sex." Minho stated matter of factly.
Thomas slapped him playfully. "That too shank. And because of that, I felt like you were just saying that to make me feel happy, when in reality you just didn't see a family in our future."
Minho shrugged. "Not our near future, no." he said. "Like I said, we were only married a year. We had just bought a house, we were starting our new lives, our new careers, we really didn't have the money or time to have any kids."
Thomas nodded. "I think I just felt lonely. Christmas is a family holiday and I felt like we just weren't a family yet."
"A complete one anyways." Minho said.
Thomas smiled. "Yeah….this is more like the first time we discussed having kids."
Minho snickered. "And by have, you mean - Ouch!"
"Yes! Shank!" Thomas laughed, hitting Minho with a pillow.
"So when was the first time we decided to have kids?" Minho asked.
Thomas smirked evilly at his husband. "When we were watching a Disney World commercial."
Minho groaned. "I'm already regretting this…."
Thomas snickered. "It came on, and you and me had never been before. You turned to me and said 'we need to hurry up and have some kids so I can go meet Mickey Mouse.'"
Minho sank down on the couch. "Well, I didn't wanna go just the two of us!"
"Are you kidding me?!" Thomas asked. "It's the happiest place on Earth! Couples go together all the time! People go on shucking honeymoons in Disney World."
Minho laughed, conceding. "Okay, okay. But this was now past the two year mark of our marriage, and I honestly wanted to have kids, but I didn't know how to bring it up. I figured a Disney commercial was the perfect way." he mumbled the last part sheepishly.
"Three years later and we still haven't been to Disney." Thomas said.
"Yet." Minho said with a knowing smile.
"Yeah, and when exactly are we going to tell the girls about that anyway?"
"Tell us what?" Kaci asked. She stood at the bottom of the stairs, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
Thomas smiled, standing up off the couch to pick up his youngest daughter. "And what are you doing out of bed so late, hmm?"
Kaci yawned. "Thirsty…."
Thomas kissed the top of her head as he carried her into the kitchen and poured her a glass of water. Minho joined them and the three of them sat around the kitchen island, with a beverage of their own.
"What were you and Daddy talking about?" Kaci asked with another yawn.
Thomas smiled. "How much we love you and your sister."
Kaci managed a small giggle. "We love you both too."
"We know." Minho said, kissing her forehead. "We're glad to have you two in our lives."
Kaci smiled sleepily, lying her head on Thomas, chest. "Glad you adopt us…." she mumbles before promptly falling asleep.
Thomas chuckles. "I'll take her upstairs." he says, picking her up.
"When you come back, I'll tell you about another first time." Minho says with a wink.
"Shank." Thomas whispers, but there's no denying the blush that fills his cheeks, as he quickly leaves to tuck Kaci back into bed.
