a/n: I've had this sitting on my desktop for ages and it really isn't going to be finished. I had so many headcanons for this but well. Here's what I've written so far.
From the moment where Jinyoung opens the front door a series of unfortunate events unfold. The first event is that he can literally hear the tension drop and feel the air freeze. The next thing that Jinyoung notices is the loud, erratic thudding of footsteps on his hardwood floorboards echoing through a journey from the master bedroom, past the hallways into the open living and before lastly, Jinyoung is being tackled by a small (“I’m not that small!” Jackson will try to defend) ball of excitement adorned by soft, brown floppy ears sitting atop of mop of dark hair. Although Jinyoung is always prepared for this “welcome ceremony” mas Jackson had called it, every night he comes home, he always gets knocked down onto the very same hardwood floor he’s currently splayed across, with the grocery bags threatening to spill its contents. He’s quite surprised that he hasn’t managed to get a concussion with how frequently this occurs.
“You’re home! You’re home! You’re home!” Jinyoung can feel his entire face being probed by Jackson’s nose and can feel the puppy vibrating with excitement as Jackson crowds over his body in the middle of the hallway next to their shoe rack.
Jinyoung used to try and fight Jackson off but he found out that it was just more efficient for Jackson to all but rub his tiny (“Not tiny!” Jackson would interject again) body all over Jinyoung’s when he got home because the puppy would otherwise try to scent mark him later on; like when he was trying to cook dinner, or wash the dishes or do the laundry. So Jinyoung just lays there, almost lifelessly until Jackson is satisfied and relents his straddle on Jinyoung’s thin figure. The puppy manages to just be a tiny bit helpful by taking the grocery bags out of Jinyoung’s hands to bring them into the kitchen and rummage through the purchases.
“You bought samgyupsal!” Jackson hollers through the hallways at Jinyoung whom he left lying on the floor with no apology. Jinyoung bets that if he was bothered enough to lift himself off the floor he would see Jackson’s tail wagging enthusiastically.
When Jinyoung finally works up the energy to tilt his head off the floor he’s welcomed with the sight of Mark walking through the corridor slowly. He lifts his arms up wordlessly for the kitten to pull him off the floor and into a warm hug.
“Welcome home, Jinyoung.” Mark also buries his face into Jinyoung’s neck but it isn’t as aggressive as Jackson had done and Jinyoung actually quite likes it. Not like he abhors Jackson’s methods of displaying affection either but it’s a nice contrast from his hectic timetable at uni.
Jinyoung has no regrets of adopting the both of them. He had been visiting the adoption centre for two months, every Sunday, eager to seek for a catboy to keep him company at home that wouldn’t need too much maintenance that Jinyoung couldn’t afford to give. There was one that he particularly liked and got along with well every week he visited; a tiny, little gorgeous boy with a pink stripe running through his otherwise jet black hair but the assistant had informed him that the kitten was only a few years old and would require a lot of attention. Jinyoung didn’t have the heart to adopt such a delicate thing only to leave him at home during the day to run off to class. So he tended to the boy when he could, bringing him a carton of chocolate milk and petting him whilst keeping an eye out for any suitable pet hybrids for him. Jinyoung wasn’t too troubled for being unable to adopt Bambam though because he was sure the boy would be adopted not too long after. And Jinyoung’s heart was put to rest when he walked in to the shelter next week to see a family with a little son showering Bambam with an abundance of affection.
At one point however, Jinyoung’s university assignments began to pileup and it seemed like the universe was plotting against him when four of his assessments were due on the same week, rendering him unable to visit the shelter while he spent hours on end in the library writing analytical essay after the other. Being a linguistics major was difficult but he loved it. After his hell week he finally managed to visit the animals, even if he wasn’t able to find one to adopt a pet the shelter was so colourful and full of happy animals it was like taking a bath in sunshine and rainbows to wash off all the stress.
In hindsight, Jackson had changed dramatically since the first time he had met him. Jinyoung had walked into the room where all the hybrids were set to play in and he had missed the sight of yellow painted walls decorated with murals of colourful daisies and rainbows. It would have been an eyesore anywhere else but the cheerful image was just befitting of the environment. It was a bit awkward with Bambam gone, the sweet kitten who had previously kept most of his attention when he dropped by, so he went over to sit beside Youngjae instead, a tabby hybrid who spent most of the day sleeping by the bay window. Jinyoung scanned his eyes across the room checking to see if there were any newcomers since he had been away, feeling Youngjae’s soft, satisfied purring under his fingertips as he scratched the kitten’s orange, pointed ears.
“I wonder if I’ll find anyone today” Jinyoung sighs softly to himself.
He released another sigh when he finished scanning the whole room, a little disappointed that he couldn’t find a kitten once again. That was, until he noticed what seemed to be a nest of blankets and toys in the corner of the room. Jinyoung would have just dismissed it to be a pile of mess that the pets usually made until he noticed the frantic wriggling movements under the blankets and then finally a puppy was thrown out of the nest. He watched as the puppy sulked at being removed from his warm haven, brown ears downturned, attacking the mountain of blankets with a stray plushie that he found on the side and Jinyoung pealed in laughter at how adorable the sight was. It seemed as if the puppy boy had heard and his head twisted rapidly to take a gander at the soul who dared laugh at him. However, upon making eye contact the puppy’s eyes widened almost comically and he seemed to make even more frantic attempts to burrow back into the fort.
Jinyoung couldn’t help but smile regretfully as we watched the puppy finally manage to scramble under the covers again, lion plush abandoned thrown half way across the room. Puppies had too much energy and Jinyoung wouldn’t be able to sufficiently accommodate towards their needs as much as he wanted to.
“Seems like today’s not the day either, is it Youngjae?” He glanced down at the boy preening in his lap.
When Jinyoung darts his attention back at the nest however, he sees a beautiful, red haired catboy dislodging the blankets with the puppy cowering behind him, his curious, dark eyes staring straight at Jinyoung behind the kitten’s shoulders.
Hmm. It seemed like he had spoke too soon. Maybe today was the day after all. Jinyoung moved the sleeping boy off his lap slowly, grabbing a soft toy nearby to put it beside Youngjae and helped the boy settle against a pillow before walking across the room to grab the soft lion plush.
As Jinyoung got closer and closer the puppy seemed more and more anxious, fluffy dark tail wagging at uneven rhythms behind the cat, who seemed mostly apathetic at the puppy’s behaviour and let himself be wrestled around as a living shield by the smaller.
Holding out the toy, Jinyoung crouched down and presented it to the kitten as a peace offering. “Do you want to play with this?”
The puppy behind eyed the toy curiously for a moment, before nudging the kitten on the shoulder to prompt him to take the gift. With small hands, the kitten accepted the toy and passed it to the puppy behind him who quickly snatched it out of the boy’s hand and snuggled it closely.
“Thank you.” The kitten’s voice was actually quite deep for a pet hybrid and despite his soft appearance. Jinyoung smiled in return.
“I’m Jinyoung.” He made sure to pitch his voice even higher than it usually was, trying to not seem too direct and spook the boys, “What’s your name?”
“Mark.” The kitten replied. “And that’s Jackson.”
At the mention of the younger’s name, the puppy who was avoiding eye contact ever since that first time five minutes ago dared to look Jinyoung in the eyes again, uttering the quietest “hi” possible. His behaviour was a complete turn around from what Jinyoung witnessed when they were playing; he hoped that the puppy would relax once they knew each other more closely.
“Do you mind if I sit next to you?” Jinyoung asked, gesturing to the little stool just adjacent to the boy’s nest.
“Silly, you’re too big for that.” Jackson giggled and Jinyoung smiled even more widely. “You can sit here.”
Jackson seemed comfortable enough to leave his stance behind Mark and gather one of the blankets from their plentiful stock to form a small ring on the mat next to their own. “You can sit here.”
Even though it seemed as if the makeshift bed was even smaller than the chair he mentioned before, Jinyoung crawled over on all all fours to the blanket and sat in a meditative pose. It seemed as if Jackson wasn’t too comfortable yet and quickly darted back behind Mark’s back in refuge.
Jinyoung watched the boys resume play, noticing that once Jackson was focused on something nothing else seemed to matter, least of all Jinyoung as an uncomfortable presence. Mark was very quiet but appeared playful too when Jackson would clamber onto his back whilst pretending that Jackson was a knight in shining armour and Mark was his noble steed.
It was adorable watching Mark abide by Jackson’s wishes no matter how outlandish it seemed. The smile on Jinyoung’s face never left as he watched the two pets play. Unfortunately, Jinyoung did have to go home eventually and prepare dinner for himself lest he let himself starve and grow ears and a tail himself to join the duo at the shelter forever. He stood up and dusted his knees off, stretching his limbs to work out the kinks of his muscles from sitting in one position too long. The two were alerted of Jinyoung’s plans to depart and Jackson halted in the midst of what he deemed to be a ninja on a secret mission.
“You’re going home now?” Jackson’s voice sounded so sad and disappointed Jinyoung could almost hear violins playing when he looked at the boy’s wide puppy dog eyes.
“MmmHmm.” Jinyoung confirmed, bringing the blanket Jackson had let him borrow and handing it back to Mark. The kitten accepted it but Jinyoung also noticed how crestfallen Mark had looked whilst doing so.
“Will you be back tomorrow?” Glancing back at Jackson, the puppy was nibbling his bottom lip in nervousness.
Now that Jinyoung had pretty much cleared up his schedule since all his assessments were over, he had a lot of free time left. He could manage to visit the shelter after his tutorial at 11am. “Yeah! I can drop by to visit you guys again.”
“Okay.” The corners of the boy’s eyes pulled slightly and Jackson’s voice had sounded a bit wistful.
idk guys it was meant to be hyung!line where jinyoung bumps into jae at a coffee shop and they start this freaky foursome thing but well it didn't happen. :\
