Chapter Text
Kihyun has two biggest mysteries in his life.
First, Why Lee fucking Minhyuk is still his best friend after all those years and not-really-good experiences... and second, why he still follows him when said ‘best friend’ drags him to an unknown place. Those are the main reasons why he’s now outside of an adoptive shelter for hybrids on his first day off in weeks at 8 fucking am.
“Mind explaining me what are we doing here?” - Kihyun asks before the slightly older man pulls him into the store – “I don’t think you should adopt another hybrid, pity to them if you do it.”
“Do you trust me?”
“Well… if I’m sincere, no, I don’t trust you.” – Minhyuk makes an offended funny face but Kihyun rolls his eyes, still in bad mood after his so-called best friend woke him up so abruptly. Minhyuk has never been a morning person, why the fuck was he awake so early? - “The last time I said yes, we ended being followed by a furious dog, Minhyuk!”
“Well, here aren’t any furious dogs, so come, come.” – He pushes him inside without saying another word and completely ignoring his whines. A beautiful bunny hybrid receives them with a contagious smile and Kihyun can’t stop the smile growing on his own face.
“Welcome! Can I help you, sirs?” - He bows and –even if he’ll deny it later- he’s really cute… but can’t help but wonder if every bunny hybrid has those muscles… holy shit.
“I want a hybrid for my friend here.”
Wait what?
“W-” – Kihyun wants to ask directly but Minhyuk keeps talking.
“Maybe a puppy hybrid, around our age, a male is better if I can say, I don’t know how will he manage if it’s a female...” – His best friend eyes him but continues without caring about his opinion at all – “Kihyun’s little bit lonely.” – Kihyun wants to objects this, ‘he’s not lonely’ but the elder doesn’t give him even a second to talk… or breathe for that matter – “So he should be very talkative, cuddle him to sleep and should like skinship a lot, also if he likes to cook and clean it’ll be even better.”
That sounds more like a hybrid Minhyuk would like, but the idea is tempting him, he can’t deny it. The worker stares at him for approval and he nods; he should give it a try before reject it completely anyway – “I’m just looking around for now, okay?”
“Sure, most of our hybrids are in the backrooms since it’s a bit early.” – Kihyun glares at his friend, of course it’s too early. But Minhyuk plays innocent and pushes him to follow the bunny hybrid.
“My names Hoseok by the way, usually customers call me bunny but I prefer being called by my name.” – Kihyun bows respectfully, introducing himself as well but the worker dismisses it – “It’s okay, not need to be so formal Kihyun-ssi, are you sure you want a hybrid?”
“I’m not even sure of my name when I’m next to Minhyuk.” - Kihyun sighs resignedly and shakes his head, already giving up – “But maybe he’s right for once.”
The hybrid – Hoseok – laughs lightly while Kihyun follows him closely to the backdoors. There is a lot and he doesn’t know what to do – “Just puppy hybrids then?”
“No, I actually want to see as many hybrids as possible, I think it’s a big responsibility I’m probably getting and I want to take the right one with me.”
“Glad you know that, sir.” - Hoseok nods in approval, seems responsible humans are his style – “We also have bunnies, hamsters, wolves, tigers and lions if you’re more interested in exotic hybrids. But puppies and cats are the most popular among buyers.”
Kihyun nods. Cats sound more his style. Hoseok opens the first door, telling him a little bit about them – “Byun Baekhyun, a corgi puppy hybrid, 22 years old in human age, adult, likes talking and cuddles a lot.” – He sounds good and just few years younger than him, maybe he could get him – “Park Chanyeol, a Labrador dog, 22 years old too, perfect company and protection, he likes to talk a lot, friendly and likes skinship, are they okay for you, sir?” – Kihyun nods, they sound perfect.
A little hybrid with brown puppy ears greets Hoseok when he steps inside. He’s really small and cute; Kihyun likes him. The other one the taller between them, just stares but with innocent eyes and his fur is really cute too – “Say hi to Kihyun, guys.”
The smaller one hugs him, sniffing him a little bit. It tickles and Kihyun laughs – “Hi there.” – He says stroking behind his ears. The taller one’s a little bit shyer but still goes and hugs him too. God, dogs are adorable.
The next door are the bunnies Kihyun wanted to see, Junmyeon and Kyungsoo. Unlike Wonho, they’re smaller and slender, their white ears and little tails warm his heart. They’re really friendly with Kihyun too and he debated if he truly should get a puppy or if a bunny would be a better option.
The next one is a hamster hybrid and god, he’s really small. Kihyun isn’t tall himself but he’s like ten centimeters shorter and so huggable. His face is so adorable and his tiny eyes are probably the cutest thing he has seen in the world. Kihyun’s confused, maybe this hamster would be the perfect partner.
Cats are more refined, elegant, cleaner and independent. While the others hybrids are mainly for company, cats are more convenient. He can leave them alone for long hours and they’ll entertain themselves. They’re also fluffy and cuddly, talk when it’s necessary, and are good listeners. Kihyun then decides to focus more on cats due to his daily busy life.
The first ones he meets are very cute too, Jongdae, a cute black cat, and Minseok, a ginger cat. While Jongdae has everything Kihyun would ask for, plus friendly and good talker, Minseok steals his heart with his cute feline smile. Those two are topping the list of “Possibly adopting now”.
He meets many kinds of hybrids, he already can’t remember all their names - Even the ones he said he wanted to adopt - but the shelter is full of them and Kihyun wants to know more, why can’t he just adopt them all? Oh, yes, 100 hybrids can’t fix in his apartment and his neighbors would complain a lot, so no he can’t. Despite having tried ignoring it before, he can’t help but notice Hoseok has been avoiding a certain door for a while now, and he asks himself, what’s inside, maybe a wolf hybrid? He heard before they were kind of scary but loyal partners and really, curiosity killed the cat right?
“Hmm… Hoseok-ssi.” – The employee smiles at him, silently portraying that he’s listening – “What’s behind that door?”
Hoseok turns to see what he’s talking about and Kihyun noticed the masked fear all over his face. There’s really a wolf hybrid? Bunnies are scared of wolves, that’s an unspoken rule… but still he wants to see.
“Hmm yeah, Im Changkyun.” – ‘Changkyun’ sounds like a cute name, something dangerous can’t have such an adorable name right?’ – “Male, 18 years old in human age, timid, rarely talks, affectionate, likes hugs and cuddles… Cat hybrid.”
“Can I see him?” – Maybe it’s because Hoseok tried to avoid that door that Kihyun wants to know him now. He doesn’t sound at all as the hybrid he – Minhyuk actually- asked for before; he doesn’t sound as a hybrid who wants to be adopted at all but Kihyun wants to see him.
“Are you sure, sir?” – Kihyun nods and motions him to hurry up and open the door.
Unlike the rest of the rooms, Changkyun doesn’t share it with another person. The room is painted with only white and lack of any kind of personality, as if no one is even living there. Additionally, the hybrid doesn’t receive him with hugs and big smiles as the rest, he looks… scared and uneasy.
Despite the welcome, he’s the cutest between them. His whole fur is black, fluffy, and soft with the tips dipped in white, with his fascinating blue eyes, hypnotizing and very, very beautiful. He can’t see how tall he is as the hybrid was there sitting on his bed, holding his legs to his chest and the oversized sweater he’s wearing, makes him look really small and thin – “Changkyun, say hi!”
But the hybrid doesn’t move, actually he looks as if someone is scolding him and Kihyun can’t help but wonder if he’s always like that or Kihyun looks very intimidating. Carefully, the red haired man walks to his bed and sits next to him but not so close as to scare him more – “Hi little one, I’m Kihyun, what are you doing there?”
Changkyun shows him the book he was reading and Kihyun smiled, the cat likes to read and he has a big bookshelf he may like – “So, do you like to read?” – The hybrid nods and lightly smiles, Kihyun would have missed it if he wouldn’t be staring directly at him with such intensity. He likes this one – “What else do you like to do?” – Changkyun takes out a little drawing book and shows him what he has done – “Wow, they’re really good!” – He compliments and even if the younger didn’t show a more expressive reaction as others would do and hug him or something similar as he was expecting, Kihyun still can see the joy dancing in his eyes, so he knows how happy he is nonetheless.
“Can I scratch your head, Changkyun?” – Kihyun asks from nowhere and he doesn’t even know where the idea came from but he doesn’t take it back. At first the cat stiffens but still nods a bit unsure, although the blush forming on his cheeks doesn’t go unnoticed.
Carefully, his fingers scratch and stroke his head so softly and with so much care to not scare the already startled hybrid who however seems to enjoy it and only takes him few seconds to start purring. Kihyun didn't know when he started smiling but at some point he couldn't hide it anymore – “God, you’re adorable~”
After taking his hand back, the little hybrid lightly pouted at the loss. Kihyun almost reaches again for him and maybe squeeze him between his arms… but before that he needs to ask him, like, now – “Want to come home with me Changkyun?” – He probably is the first one to ask him such a thing because the hybrid’s eyes shine with hope some seconds, then change to insecurity and Kihyun smiles, trying to assure him he was sincere and finally nods, a little smile on his face. ‘ God, he isn’t regretting this’.
He turns around to gaze at the employee, who is looking at the scene surprised and maybe a little bit of worry mixed his eyes and Kihyun really wants to ask him why- “I want him.”
“Are you sure, sir?”
“Yes, I want him.” Kihyun nods stubbornly.
“But…”
“I want him.” – Kihyun finally says with a stern and strict voice. What’s wrong with this guy? Shouldn’t he be happy because he’s buying one? Hoseok nods and asks softly at Changkyun to pack his belongings, which aren’t a lot if Kihyun can say. The bag where he’s packing everything is small and he only needs to put inside his draw book because the book he was reading belongs to the shop… Kihyun will buy a copy for him later.
“Is that all?” – Changkyun nods a little bit embarrassed. His bag in a tight grip in front of him and his tail tucked between his legs. He’s scared, Kihyun realized, but it’s okay he has a lot of time to gain his trust – “I won’t regret adopt you and I won’t take you back, I promise.”
But Changkyun shakes his head with a worried and embarrassed face – “That’s not exactly what he’s scared of, sir.” – The employee replies for him and offers him a little smile. Kihyun follows him closely, he still has a lot of paperwork to do before he can claim Changkyun as his but that’s okay, he doesn’t mind. The cat-hybrid walks behind him, grabbing lightly his shirt and Kihyun heart’s already melting by him, he already knows in few days he’ll do anything Changkyun asks him to do. Damn, he doesn’t need days; he’d do anything for him even now.
“Wow! You’re really buying a hybrid?” - Shit, he forgot about Minhyuk and he can’t believe he actually waited for him, a little part wished he’d left. The elder eyed Changkyun up and down and Kihyun knows the younger is uncomfortable because he moves to hide behind him.
“Minhyuk stop it, you’re scaring him!” – Kihyun uses his nagging voice but his friend just rolls his eyes, already used to it.
“Sorry, he’s cute and small…” – The red haired agrees because yes, he really is – “Are you looking for a pet or a boyfriend though?”
“Minhyuk!” – Kihyun sees red, between fury and embarrassment. Hoseok’s staring at him with wide eyes as well as other guy in the room he supposes it’s the shop owner and thankfully he’s not seeing Changkyun but he supposes he has the same expression than the others two.
“What?! He’s your type!” – Minhyuk defends himself but that only aggravate the whole situation.
Kihyun reaches for his friend’s arm to pull him out of the shop – “Just give me a second…” - He says at the hybrids in the shop and finally kicks the blonde out – “I’ll kill you later but can you fucking leave now? He’s a bit… shy.”
“Fine!” – Minhyuk accepts easily but for the evilly smirk he has on he knows he’s planning something – “I need to talk with Jooheon anyway.”
Yep, he’s planning something but at the moment he really doesn’t care.
“Sorry, my friend is just very… creative.” – He coughs awkwardly but the tall tan man smiles.
“It’s okay… but use protection if you don’t want little kittens running around your house.” – If Kihyun was red before, then now he’s ten shades darker, feeling as though he’s burning of embarrassment and Changkyun isn’t any better. Fuck Minhyuk and his big mouth.
“Oh god, no, I won’t do anything like that, god, god, I swear…” – Kihyun’s babbling but Hoseok’s laughs stops him and looks up to meet the two tall men smiling while Changkyun’s playing with his tail.
“It’s okay really, you’re not the first one with embarrassing friends…” – Kihyun sighs relieved and follows the taller man – Hyunwoo - as he introduces himself, to sign some papers while he explains some things Hybrids need and about heats… - “And this is our shop number, this is Hoseok’s and this is mine.” – Kihyun saves all the phones numbers, he would need them some time and maybe sooner than he thinks – “Changkyun still hasn’t had his first heat and it’s the stronger and most painful, if you don’t know what to do please just call us anytime, we’d be in your service whenever you need it, Changkyun is our… special kid.”
He wonders why but he hopes it’s nothing bad...“– He had bad experiences with his past owners so he’ll take a bit to open up to you, so be patient with him please, when he’s ready he’ll talk to you.”
Kihyun nods, taking mental notes to everything Hyunwoo is saying – “He’s shy but very sweet, if you give him the chance I’m sure you’ll love him.”
“I already did.” - Kihyun sighs relieved and content when he finally pays and the whole paperwork is done and he’s finally allowed to take Changkyun home. Said cat is in the bunny hybrid’s arms, while the taller repeats how much he’ll miss him but he hopes never see him again there and he’d finally got a home to go. The red haired man’s chest tightened with the mention of those words. Yeah... now his house will be Changkyun’s home too and he’ll do anything in his power to makes him feel the same way.
“See, he’s here!” – Maybe he was nervous Kihyun would regret it but he smiles lightly when notice he’s indeed there. Kihyun walks closer to him and stares at those addictive blue eyes – “Ready to go home?” – His hybrid nods and takes his little bag and the bunny Hoseok’s giving him “as a gift”, probably Changkyun uses it to sleep because he notices it was in his bed earlier.
Kihyun walks with him until his car, a protective hand in his back and when he wants to sit on the back he denies it and makes him sit on the passenger’s seat, next to him as he should always be.
The ride is awkwardly silent. While Kihyun focuses on the street, Changkyun plays with the stuffed bunny in his hands and sometimes with his tail. The elder can’t deny he wants to touch it too, so shaggy and fluffy, but everything about Changkyun is fluffy, so basically Kihyun wants to cuddle him to sleep, like, now .
His apartment isn’t so far away from the shop and minutes later they’re standing in front of a big edifice. Changkyun looks surprised and a bit scared again, his tail wraps around Kihyun’s wrist and the fur tickles him a bit – “Are you scared of heights?” – Changkyun shakes his head. Thank goodness because he lives on the top floor; a gift from his parents when he opened his own restaurant 6 years ago while barely 19 years old and until now his business still goes very well.
He opens the door, Changkyun’s curious gaze at every corner although he doesn’t move until Kihyun walks inside. The first thing he shows the hybrid is the living room, perfectly tidy and organized. Changkyun looks amazed at the space and the elder can’t hide his proud smile – “You can use the TV if you want, or read a book. The bookshelf is in my room but you can go in and pick any book you like.” – Changkyun nods and follows Kihyun when he indicates him to do it – “This will be your room for now okay? It’s not too big or anything, but I hope you like it.” – Changkyun enters and looks around the room. It’s really no big deal, just a bed, a nightstand and a closet. He usually uses it for a guest but for now he hopes Changkyun can feel as it belongs to him – “If you need something, don’t hesitate to ask, okay?” – Changkyun nods again – “My room is the next door and at the end is the bathroom.”
Kihyun walks to stand in front of the hybrid and scratch lightly behind his cat-ear – “Do you like it?” – Changkyun nods and purrs softly – “Thank goodness, do you like Chicken?” – He doesn’t need an answer, just looking at those sparkling eyes says everything he needs to know and he’s glad he can at least can offer Changkyun something he’ll enjoy – “Okay then, if you want you can stay here or explore the rest of the apartment, basically do whatever you want to do.” – The red haired man closes the door behind him, leaving the hybrid inside. Having a one-side conversation has never been approachable for him; all his friends are really loud and when they’re together any room is filled with non-sense conversations but with Changkyun it's different. He needs to be patient and wait for him to talk… it’s okay, it feels as a challenge, one he definitely wants to do even if it takes it years.
Changkyun’s someone he wants in his life and he doesn’t even know where the sudden attachment came from.
This morning he didn’t wake up with the thought of adopting a hybrid but now he has him… well, he should be thanking Minhyuk (Over his dead body though).
~*~
A new owner ... Changkyun sighs, tiredly thinking he – Kihyun – could be as the rest. He lost count how many humans wanted him, most of them changed their mind in the last moment and just a few adopted him. His first owner was an old lady, she was the best until now, taking care of him as if he was her own son, and spoiled him with all the love no one else ever gave him. She took him when he was just a little kitten until she died 12 years later. That was the worst moment in his life, even worse when her son threw him away into that shelter “I don’t want that nuisance!” He said and nothing has been the same since then.
He got several violent owners, some wanted him for sex and took him back when Changkyun said he wasn’t of the proper age… But if Changkyun is being positive at least they didn’t do anything else.
He wasn’t like this before. He was as cheerful and friendly, as any other hybrid but his personality changed gradually with every bad owner he got; now he has a hard time trying to trust them and open up to them. Since then, every human who picked him took him back in less than a week because “He’s such a trouble...” and by that moment, no human wanted him anymore. It’s been months since he said ‘Yes.’ to any of them.
Kihyun seems different. He had less than an hour with this human but he really thinks he can make an effort to befriend him. He seems sincere and he’s not pushing him to talk which are two things showing him Kihyun could be the right owner.
And he gave him a whole room to himself! In his previous houses, the floor was his bed, luckily he could get a pillow and if it was too cold some of them gave him a thin blanket. Kihyun had asked him what he liked and judging by the smell he was cooking exactly that. In his other houses, if he was lucky he would get three foods a day and if he behaved badly he didn’t get food for almost two days.
And other hybrids asked him why he’s like this.
Changkyun wants to give Kihyun a chance but he won’t love him, he can’t bear another heartbreak. His heart can’t handle it anymore.
The black haired boy decided to walk around the apartment then, shaking his thoughts off for the time being. He was amazed how big and clean it is, everything perfectly organized such that he was scared Kihyun would get mad if he touched something. Changkyun opens the door his human said is his bedroom. The amount of books is unbelievable and he already wants to start reading all of them non-stop, but what he loves the most is the smell it has; Kihyun’s. It’s a mix between honey and strawberry and the natural odor the elder has. It’s addictive to Changkyun’s extra sensitive nose – “Oh! you are here!” – The voice of said human startled him, causing him to yelp in surprise, his ears and tail going immediately rigid – “Sorry Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you, I was just looking for you.” - The regret is obvious in Kihyun’s face and Changkyun feels bad his owner needs to work twice as hard for them – “Food is ready.”
Changkyun can’t hide his excitement when they leave the room, especially because it smells heavenly and it looks even better. Silently he asks if he can eat and Kihyun smiles – “Go ahead.” – And it tastes even better than the smell and look combined. Kihyun’s an excellent cook he notices, and it’s been a long time since he taste something as delicious as this, years indeed. The food in the shelter was okay but mostly it was all prepackaged, frozen stuff, which is fine and edible, but comparatively all the flavor has been sucked out of it. Changkyun can’t believe he’s eating this kind of food now… but still he can’t have his hopes up. Maybe it’s a one-time thing.
“Do you like it?” –Changkyun nods, biting other piece of chicken and licking the sauce in his hand before it reaches the table. He looks up a second only to meet Kihyun’s smile and an inexplicable fondness on his face, then he realizes he’s eating like a desperate, hungry kid and feels embarrassed – “Don’t be shy, eat as much as you want.” – He pets his head and start eating as well – “Do you like tuna, Changkyun?” – He LOVES tuna! – “I was thinking of cooking that for dinner” – ‘Yes, please!!’ Changkyun doesn’t need to say anything because seems Kihyun can read his face easily – “Fine, I’ll do that.” – ‘ Thanks!’
Changkyun finishes his food before the elder and looks at him expectantly. He doesn’t know what to do with the plate or if he should stand and leave or he should wait for his owner – “Leave it there, I’ll wash it later, you can go and if you want you can watch TV.”
The younger does exactly what the elder asks him for, but when he’s in the living room he’s too uncomfortable to go directly and turn the TV on, unsure even if he should sit on the sofa and not on the floor. Kihyun never made it clear to the younger… - “What are you doing there? Sit.” – He chuckles lightly – “Do you want to watch a movie?” – He nods, but doesn’t know which one because his previous owners never asked for his opinion before, he just watched whatever they wanted – “Come here then, you can choose whatever you want, I’ll watch it with you.”
At the end he chooses Harry Potter and Kihyun gladly watches it with him.
Four movies later and a plot Changkyun’s engrossed in, the younger doesn’t notice when Kihyun leaves to his room until he feels a pair of hands in his head – “You can watch the rest after a bath Changkyunnie~” – Said man blushes with the sudden nickname but obeys anyway, following his owner to the bathroom - “I already left you clothes there, if you need something, anything… I’ll be in the living room okay?”
Changkyun nods and enters in the bathroom. It’s the first time he has been in a shower so big, he thinks at least six people can wash together and still they have space for another one… Okay he exaggerates but it’s really big and the water is perfect for his sensitive skin. He can’t deny he takes his time cleaning every single part of his body. Not to mention Kihyun has every kind of gels and lotions and everything smells really good.
After at least half an hour Changkyun thinks it’s enough given that he smells as good as his human now. Lastly he’ll wear his owner’s clothes and then nothing will be able to hide his happiness.
That is until he notices he can’t use the pants, his tail protesting to the arrangement. Carefully he exits the bathroom, pants in hand, thankful that Kihyun gave him a super oversized sweater, so he’s not showing anything above his thighs. He doesn’t need to call for him because Kihyun immediately notices him – “You can’t use the pants?” – Changkyun shakes his head and shows him his tail – “Oh right.” – Kihyun stands up and grabs the pants, blush obvious on his face and the younger asks why- oh, yes, he’s pant-less and in human’s eyes this is “Erotic” or whatever– “I know what to do!”
He rushes to his own room and comes back with scissors. Seconds later Changkyun has in his hands the same pants now with a pretty hole on the back. The younger puts the pants on and notices it’s perfect and his tail happily sways from one side to another – “Is it good? Thank god we’re exactly the same size and height. Tomorrow I should buy you some clothes, you can use mine too I don’t really care, but with the pants… also if you want to go out someday you’ll need your own clothes, wait… should I take you out for a walk? That’s so inconsiderate of me! I’ll take you tomorrow after work… wait I work until late… maybe in the morning? Or it’s too early?” – Changkyun notices his owner is really cute when he’s babbling nonsense, kind of funny too, and his blush is adorable. He likes it - “Maybe someday I can take you to my workplace, my employees will love you! Anyway the underwear fits you well?” – The hybrid tilts his head ‘Which underwear? ’ – “I don’t give you any?” – The blush darkened, realization comes into his mind – “You’re wearing nothing under that… I-I’ll take a bath.” – and then he’s gone.
Changkyun hopes he won’t do what he’s thinking Kihyun would… because his cat-ears listen better than human’s.
At least Changkyun can’t deny how his heart flutters hearing how the elder’s planning to add him into his life.
Half an hour later Kihyun’s back smelling better than before, Changkyun wants to sniff him at least once but he restrains himself, maybe his owner wouldn’t like that – “Why are you only sitting there? You can watch the other part! I already watched them all!” – So he does what he’s told and starts watching the next movie, while Kihyun’s on the kitchen preparing the dinner… It smells even better than the lunch and Changkyun’s stomach cries for food again.
Movie forgotten, Changkyun moves to the little island Kihyun has in the kitchen and sits there – “You hungry?” – Changkyun nods, starving if he can say – “Food’s almost ready, Can you set the table for us please?” – The black haired boy gladly obliges. It’s not the first time he has done that but at least this time he’ll eat in the same table he’s setting.
Not long after Kihyun is done with the dinner and they start eating. As Changkyun predicted it's really good and every bite brings him a new wave of pleasure, maybe because he’s a half cat and enjoys seafood the most. Kihyun smiles, pleased with him and eat his food too. He doesn’t ask anything, at least not something he needs to reply with other thing than a yes or no, and Changkyun appreciates it. He’s showing more patience than any of his previous owners.
Food in their stomachs and dishes washed, they start watching the movie together. It’s interesting, Changkyun can’t deny it, but he’s craving for something else, something his cat-side wished more than anything. His ears hung low and he played with his soft tail in his hands, stealing some not-too-subtle glances at his human, until Kihyun noticed the behavior and smiled – “Changkyun~” – The red haired calls for the hybrid and he immediately turns to meet his eyes – “Come here.”
When the elder pats his lap Changkyun doesn’t think twice before lies his head there. Soft gentle hands come to caress his cheeks softly, an act Changkyun wasn’t expecting before but isn’t unwelcome either – “You’re adorable. Has anyone ever told you that?” – The hybrid doesn’t know if he’s waiting for an answer but he doesn’t know what to say. Those hands go to scratch and stroke his head so softly and with such care had him melting. The warmth from the human is soothing and comforting and the hybrid can’t deny he feels so happy… and sleepy. Without noticing Changkyun yawns and the hands stop, making him whine cutely – “Are you tired?” – Changkyun nods, ‘ just a little bit ’ – “Want to go to bed?” – He repeats the previous act and stands up. He didn’t notice how much time passed but the movie is already over and the credits rolling – “Let me lend you some bed clothes and a fluffy blanket I have, wait.”
He rushes to his own room and hardly minutes later he’s back with the things he said before, plus a pillow and guides him to his room. Changkyun doesn’t need to move a finger because Kihyun’s already doing everything for him. That aside he was hoping for some comforting smell of his owner to stay in the blankets – “Will you be okay here?” – Changkyun nods. Perfectly fine actually. Changkyun hugs tighter the bunny Hoseok gave him, he kind of missed his friend too – “Good night Changkyunnie~” – The elder kissed his forehead, causing the skin there to tingle with the simple contact before Kihyun walks away, leaving behind a blushing mess.
Changkyun can get used to this life.
