Chapter Text
The sunshines caressed the sharp cheek of a hybrid orange cat, his tail lazily balancing as he was sleeping on the couch for a nap. Alone in the small apartment, he eventually opened his eyes at a feeling he knew too much - hunger. Minho yawned, and stretched himself, before brushing his hair. It should be about four in the afternoon and he knew his owner won’t be there before midnight, at least. It was always like that. Him, alone and starving. The cat sat down. He didn’t even care to go to the kitchen, he knew there were nothing in the fridge. His owner never bought food, and barely ordered. When the last thing happened, Minho could have the leftovers. Otherwise, the cupboards were desesperatly empty. So, he had no choice but steal, again. It was not like he liked it, but each time he complained about the food, his owner just smiled, patted his head and said : « If you want to eat, you have to find it by yourself. You’re a cat, just steal. » And so, that what Minho did, each time. And today was no exception. He frowned as he went to the window, checking if he could opened it. Because, yes, sometimes, the owner forgot to unlock a window. The weather was clear outside, but cold, and Minho shivered. He had only a sweatshirt and a short sweatpant, nothing underwear. And those clothes were his owner’s. He wouldn’t dare to borrow something warmer, so he decided to go out like that. He won’t be cold anyway, he was a cat right ? He was quite cold-resistant. Minho got out, leaving the flat behind him. In few habile motions, he climbed on the roof. His stomach growled, and hurted badly, but he barely payed attention to it. He started to walk, slowly, he needed to keep his strentgh. Suddenly, as he was crossing the third roof, he heard a voice behind him.
« Min hyuuung ! » A cheerful and loud voice yelled, owning to a hybrid black cat, smiling and waving at him.
« Ah Sannie. » Minho replied, his face staying straight the light on his tone showed his affection for the younger hybrid.
« Is Min Hyung going to grab food? » The black cat asked.
« Yes. » Minho answered as he kept walking, San on his steps.
« Wanna eat with Sannie? »
« Don’t worry, Minho’s gonna on his own. »
« Sure ? »
San tried to not show it, but he was worried for his older friend, he knew a bit about his struggles. However, Minho was pride, and he always refused helped, all San could do, was snuggling against him. Suddenly, his ears went crazy. A normal human being couldn’t have hear it, but a voice, as low as a whisper from where they were, was calling.
« Minho thinks Owner Seonghwa is calling for Sannie. » Minho stated. « Go, and Sannie don’t have to worry for Minho. »
« If Minho says so... » San pouted.
But after a brief pat on his head, he smiled again and ran away, after making sure to give a big kiss on Minho’s cheek. The older hybrid sighed. As he walked, he realized that the night was falling down already and he didn’t find a place yet, all windows were closed or the lights still on. His stomach hurted, and his sight became blurry, he was so weak, but he needed to keep going, and to find food. Eventually, he saw a window opened. If he wasn’t that hungry, maybe he would have seen that the flat wasn’t empty. But the light was down. As he entered in the small apartment, he saw that the tv was on and, on his left, the couch was back at him, so he didn’t see if there was anyone sitting on. Minho gulped, he needed to be as quiet as possible. Slowly, he went to the kitchen, carefully moving like if he was a ghost. To his big surprise, he found a lot of food on the table. Minho felt a bit bad, to eat what the occupant seemed to have prepared. But Minho was starving too much, he needed to eat. Silently, he choose a plate where there were some appetizing pieces of chicken breast with some golden sauce. He had to refrain a moan as he bite into the cooked meat, it was the best food he ever taste. The tenderness of the meet, the spices spicing up the sauce, everything tastes like a meal from heaven. He wanted to eat everything at once, but he couldn’t, he knew he would throw up if he ate too much after being starve for that long. Instead, he picked a bit of each plate, and when he felt full, a feeling he reached after only few bites, he put some in his front pocket.
The lights still turned off, Minho walked silently back to the living room window. As he came out of the kitchen, he froze, realizing that the couch was in fact a bit turn toward the kitchen, making him see that they were two human shapes on it. However, thanks God, the two boys were asleep. One had his cute face covered with freckles, and the other had rounded cheeks that made Minho wanted to bite them. Minho sighed silently, the two humans were really cute, and as he went out the flat, he thought that they seemed nice, and maybe in an other universe, he would gladly live with them, and eat all their food.
He was at his own flat for hours when his owner came back. The thirty year-old man were a bit drunk, Minho could tell by his scent. The man only petted briefly the hybrid before heading to his own room without a word, closing the door behind him. Minho was left alone again, in the dark living room. He lazily climbed on the couch, snuggled against some old blankets his owner gave him., and used his favourite one, a dark blue with stars on it, to cover himself. As he fell asleep, he found himself dreaming of the two boys in the flat, and about the delicious fest on the table. He knew he couldn’t go back there, it would be too dangerous, and too hard to leave. However, Destiny is kinda funny.
During the two days following the « fest » incident, his owner came back earlier in the evening. Still without food, though, but Minho has some leftovers from the fest so he was ok. On the couch, is owner was watching tv, playing with his phone, while he was lazily stroking Minho’s hair. The hybrid, on the other hand, was ton the floor, his had laying on the older man legs. That was their only physical contact ever. The owner never searched for more and Minho, even if he would love to cuddle, didn’t really want cuddles from that man. After three days, Minho found himself alone again. But as the night passed by and the sun rose, he wondered if his owner left again for a trip, for work or fun, he never knew. After checking in the entirely appartment, he eventually discovered that his big suitcase disappeared, so his owner won’t came back for a week at least. Minho sighed, he really was annoyed by this behaviour. He wished he could left, but he couldn’t, he was scared. He knew that it was complicated when it came to hybrid. He couldn’t leave his owner, because this one would declared his missing and if he ever found new owners, like the two cute boys for example, they would be in troubles for « rapting » him. Minho sighed. Those laws were stupid, he wished he could be free to chose with who he wanted to live.
Minho could only last a day before the hunger started to hit him again too hard for him to ignore it. When the night fall, and the city were surrounded by darkness, he went out, climbed on the roof again and started to look for an empty and open house. Without thinking, his steps leaded him toward the same neighborhood than before. All the windows were closed, except one, the house of the two cute boys. Minho thought hard, perambulated on the roof at the opposite of the window. He shouldn’t go there again, it was obvious the two boys were there again, he couldn’t risk it. Well, the lights were all on. Suddenly, however, the lights off the living room turned off. And he saw a silhouette entering in one of the bedroom. The living room window was still opened. Maybe it was a sign. No, definitely, it was too risky. But his stomach was growling, he was so hungry and he could smell from here the delicious smell of food coming from this particular flat. « Too bad », Minho though. He was too hungry.
Agile like the cat he is, Minho jumped and climbed down, until he reached the opened window. Slowly, he put a step inside. He sneaked until he reached the back of the couch and carefully raised his head to check if there was someone. His heart dropped when he saw that there were someone indeed. The cute freckles boy was sleeping, half laying, his head toward the television. Minho was like hypnotized as he noticed how the human was pretty from that close, his cute little nose like a trumpet, his plump lips just a little parted. Minho didn’t realized that he was leaning toward the boy, just a few inches from kissing him, until the freckles boy moved, scrunching his nose. With a silent gasp, Minho jumped behind the couch again, his heart beating crazy at his temples. When he eventually calmed down, he sneaked toward the kitchen in the dark. This time, the table was empty except for a plate under a cloche, and a little piece of paper. However, Minho couldn’t read, he had no idea what there were written, so he just lifted up te clock. His eyes full of stars, he drooled just at the sight of the delicious plate, well bowl to be precise. An egg was over a bunch of colorful vegetables, meat and rice. Minho already that kind of plate, his owner had ordered it plenty of time. Minho felt a bit bad to eat something so delicious he wasn’t supposed to, but at the same time, he had the feeling all this was for him. Maybe if he could read, he would ave known. But he liked the idea someone made a meal just for him. Silently, in the dark, he sat and started to eat. It was delicious, and Minho was appreciating each mouthful, refraining little moans. Suddenly, a door opened violently somewhere in the flat, making Minho jumped in fear and went instantly hided under the table, trembling.
« Felix ! » The voice called. « Come here ! I have mmm... » the last words were muffled, like if someone put his hand over the mouth.
Minho couldn’t see much from where he was, but he could hear everything, even the slightest whisper.
« Shhhhhh, don’t be that loud, Jisung ! » An other voice whispered, surely the human called Felix. « He is eating in the kitchen, you gonna scared him. »
« Sorry, sorry. » The one named Jisung answered. « So, he came back finally ? You were right hoping for it. » He could hear a smirk.
« It’s not like you weren’t behind me each time I cooked to tell me to do more just for him in case he came back. » Felix giggled, and Minho felt his stomach bubbling. « Anyway, let’s go back to your room, I don’t want him to feel trapped. »
« ‘Kay. » Jisung answered, still whispered, before talking again out loud. « Hey Felix, come to my room I have something to show you. » He said in really unnatural tone.
« Okay... » Felix sighed. « What do you want to show me ? » He asked.
« My dick ! »
They both bursted in laught, before their voice got muffled by a closed door. Minho came out from under the table, his members still shaking from the fear he had, but also a strange feeling in his heart. Before leaving, he took the paper that was next the plate. He was now sure that the note was for him, he really wanted to know what was written on it. Then, without wasting time, he crossed the room and jumped out the window, grabbed the opposite wall and climbed on the rooftop. The note pressed against his chest, Minho ran through the different roofs, and didn’t stop until he was on the couch of his owner house, curled up and hided under the blankets, turning the scene that just happened in his head, a tiny smile on his cat featured face. He couldn’t believe that te human called Felix did really cook for him. But, it meant that they saw him when he broke in the first time. They saw him steal some food, and still made a meal just for him ! They were too adorable. Minho eventually fall asleep.
However, as the days passed, Minho still hesitated to go back to Felix and Jisung place. Not like he was scared to bother them, but he was scared to cause them troubles. They were so nice, he really didn’t want them to have any problem because of him. So, the rest of the week, he didn’t go far, and stole here and there some snacks. But it wasn’t enought, the night he dreamt about Felix cooking, and the day, he daydreamt about the flat of the two boys, picturing himself on the couch between them, cuddling. One day, he couldn’t hold back anymore. He waited for the night to fall, an left again. He didn’t know when his owner would come back anyway, if he ever came back.
Soon enought, he was at the opposite roof, watching Felix and Jisung. The light was on this time, so he could see them walking around in the living room and playing video games on the couch. Now, Minho was hesitating. Should he really just go ? He couldn’t just knock at the window and ask for food, but at the same time, he found meaningless to sneak inside and steal the food. He stretched himself, rubbing his tummy. He never felt that hungry, because he never ate such delicious food. Before, he always ate just because he had to, but now, he wanted to eat so much. Anyway, he left the roof in a jump, and stayed on the small balcony, hidden behind the wall. He could hear them, the window was only half closed.
« Noooo ! How did I lose again?? » Felix whined. « I played at this game from years and you just started three days ago! »
« Because I’m a genius, you should have known by now. » Jisung chuckled. « Anyway, I won ! I deserved a reward. » He added cockily.
« A reward? » Felix sounded puzzled.
« A kiss ! » Jisung answered, making kissing noise.
« Stop ~! » Felix giggled. « I already kissed you. »
« On the cheek ! I want one on the lips. » Jisung whined, still making kissing noise.
« You... »
But Felix never finished his sentence. Minho, who was trying to see more of the scene, slidded and hit the window, making a big noise.
« The kitty is back! »Felix exclaimed, his face lighted up, followed by Jisung who was smiling widely too.
Minho froze and was about to leave, but too late, the two boys were at the window, and Jisung already had opened the window.
« Hey don’t be scared kitty ! » Jisung said, smiling.
« Are you hungry ? » Felix asked. « I can make you something, what do you want to eat ? »
« It’s okay, Minho’s not hungry... » Minho mumbled, crossing his arms on his chest.
« Oh no, so cute, he speaks of himself at the third person.. » Jisung whispered.
« You’re sure? » Felix kept talking, ignoring Jisung comment. « It doesn’t bother me, you know ! Don’t worry, and it’s cold outside. » He added.
Minho stayed silent for a minute. Felix human was right, it was cold outside, and he was hungry.
« M’okay... » Minho eventually nodded. « Maybe.. maybe Minho’s a bit hungry. »
« Cool ! Come in ! » Felix exclaimed.
Felix and Jisung moved away to let Minho him. Felix ran in the kitchen to start to cooking while Jisung shut the window behind the hybrid.
« Hey Are you cold ? ... mmh... Can I call you Minho ? » Jisung asked.
« Yes, yes, Jisung can. » Minho nodded, as he walked inside, looking at everything in the flat, now that the light was on.
« Oh you know my name ? » Jisung teased, putting his arms around Minho’s shoulders.
But Minho didn’t answer, and his face stayed neutral, but Jisung saw that some blushed appeared on the hybrid cheeks.
« Anyway, are you cold ? Your sweatshirt doesn’t seem really warm. »
« Minho is okay, Minho is used to it. » Minho shrugged, ignoring Jisung frowned. « But Jisung can warm Minho. » The hybrid cat added in a smirk.
Jisung blushed and started to stutter as Minho threw himself into the smaller arms, snuggling against his chest.
« O-O-Okay... » Jisung hugged the hybrid, stroking his back to warm him up.
Minho purred slighty, his nose buried into the crooked of Jisung neck, inhaling the scent of the human.
« Hey Jisung, come here, I need some help..HEY ! » Felix exclaimed, his hands on his hips at the frame of the Kitchen door.
« He was cold ! » Jisung defended himself.
« And you thought hugging him was better than giving him one of our sweater ? »
« He was the one asking ! » Jisung pouted. « Don’t be mad. »
« Anyway, come there, I still need help. »
« Okay, come, you’ll see sunshine Felix cooking ! » Jisung giggled, as he grabbed Minho’s hand and leaded toward the kitchen.
« Sunshine ? » Minho cocked his head.
« Oh hem... » Jisung blushed. « Yeah, it’s his surname. »
In the kitchen, Minho was sitting at the table, on Felix order, and was watching the two other cooking. Well, it was mostly Felix who was cooking and Jisung was giving him the ingredients or the holding the cooking tools. When it was ready, they put the plate in front of Minho, smiling widely.
« Don’t Felix and Jisung eat ? » Minho asked, as Felix gave him cutlery.
« No need, we already ate. » Jisung answered, sitting next to him, as Felix sat on the other side, the humans sandwitching the hybrid cat.
« It’s delicious. » Minho mumbled, as he ate, his nose on his plate.
« Good, I’m happy you like it! » Felix smiled, his chin resting on his hand, his eyes not leaving Minho.
Minho ate slowly, eventually savouring a meal without the fear of being caught. As he finished hi food, Felix started to stroke his arm, softly and Jisung put his own on Minho’s thight, rubbing circle with his thumb. But Minho’s face stayed straight, pretending he didn’t realized anything, even if he kinda liked all the attention he was getting. He didn’t realized he was even purring again.
« Minho finished. » He said, pushing his plate away.
« Good, are you still hungry ? »Felix asked sweetly.
« It’s okay, Minho is full. »
Jisung groaned slightly beside him tightening just a bit his grip while Felix gulped, blushed covering his freckles.
« Okay, good good ! » Felix giggled awkwardly. « Hum, you’re not going to leave? I mean it’s late and cold outside, you should stay. » Jisung nodded in approbation.
« Alright. » Minho answered, he felt drowsy, and sleeping there didn’t sound like a bad idea.
« Cool ! » Jisung exclaimed.
« You want to sleep now? You seem tired. » Felix said, visibly concerned after Minho yawned.
« Mm, Minho’s tired. »
« What about you sleep in my bed then ? » Jisung offered. « And I would sleep with Felix ! Like that you will have a bed just for you. »
« Jisung ! » Felix exclaimed.
« What ? You don’t want him to sleep on the couch, don’t you ? »
« No, no... » Felix mumbled. « Okay, let’s do that, but you can come at us at any moment, any hour of the night, if you want, okay ? »
« Yeah, we won’t mind if you want to sleep between us, right Felix ? » Jisung added, winking.
« Shut up ! » Felix groaned.
Minho giggled.
« Okay, Minho won’t forget. »
Felix and Jisung put him in bed, after convincing him to undress himself and put on clean cloths.
« Don’t worry, Minho-ha ~ » Felix reassured him. « We just gonna wash it, okay ? And you can have it back. » Felix smiled.
« It’s not Minho’s. » Minho mumbled, his face snuggling against Felix tiny hand, his eyes closed. « It’s Owner’s cloths. He gave them to Minho. He didn’t care if Minho lose them. »
« Oh hum, okay.. » Felix glanced at Jisung, who was sitting on the bed, stroking Minho’s back.
« And, do you care ? » Jisung asked, carefully.
« Minho doesn’t think. » The hybrid finally answered, after two long minutes of silence.
« Okay, okay. » Jisung nodded.
« Hum, Minho... » Felix hesitated. « Is... is everything alright with your ... « owner » ? » Felix sounded disgusted at the used of the last word.
However, the answer never came. And they both realized that the kitty hybrid fell asleep, his breathing became regular.
« We should left. » Felix whispered.
And carefully, the humans left, smiling like dumbs, found of the kitty sleeping in Jisung bed.
