what do you think kyungsoo would think of yeollie/sehun being embarrassed about certain stims (like biting themselves or using fidget spinners) because they're seen as jokes or being weird?

hi wow this is a really good question, thank u for sending this to me

i have a soft spot for this subject too as i use fidget toys and watch stim vids even though it’s become a commonly used joke. i think especially sehunnie would be outwardly embarrassed about partaking in such things and yeol would get sensitive about it too. but kyungsoo would be protective and tough for the two of them and reassure them that it’s okay.

what i really think kyungsoo would do is focus on just the three of them and put the thought of anyone else out of their mind. he would nurture this environment and space where they share stimming and sensory experiences together and he tells them how proud he is of them for utilizing these methods to soothe and cope. there would be lots of collective rocking and puppy bites and placing teething toys in his favorite baby boys’ mouths, lots of his deep voice whispering in their ears in dark rooms, telling them “it’s okay, be a good boy and play with this spinner i got you, i’m so happy you like it, you make soo very proud for picking out the best and shiniest toy for you.” (because only his favorites hunnie and yeol can call him soo and he blushes from the pet name;;)

so then chanhun associate these stims and toys with their beloved hyung and it puts a smile on their face to use them, with their only thought being how this makes kyungsoo happy and calms them wonderfully and it’s something between all of them that they share.
