Four Shelves Above
~happy valentine's day
There hadn’t been much on Hyukjae’s mind when he woke up to a morning sprinkle of sunlight, filtering in through a broken window above his sleeping area. The cat yawned toothily, showing off his sharp fangs, and blinked a couple of times, adjusting his sight to the sunray that was beating down on his body. Hyukjae glanced down and smiled at the other cat curled up into the older’s side. Donghae wriggled around when Hyukjae’s body shifted, trying to find the warmth that he was snuggled into.
Hyukjae bent down and nudged Donghae’s face was his nose, prodding the cat’s face until Donghae groaned and woke up with a few quick, cute blinks and a small yawn, not nearly as wide as Hyukjae’s.
“Morning!” Hyukjae greeted brightly, and Donghae, still in his lying down position, turned his neck enough to gaze at Hyukjae. He pouted at Hyukjae before turning back into his original position and trying to snuggle deeper into the older’s fur.
“Five more minutes,” he grumbled, and Hyukjae half-purred, half-chuckled at Donghae’s cute reluctance.
“Don’t you remember what today is?” he asked before beginning to prod Donghae’s face again, nudging the closed eyelids gently with the tip of his wet nose. “Donghae!” he whined, letting out a few small whimpers. “Get up!”
Hyukjae twisted his neck so that he had full view of Donghae’s mouth, hanging slightly open from the way the latter had already fallen asleep. Flattening his ears, Hyukjae slyly leaned forward until he was barely any distance from Donghae’s mouth with his own. He blinked once, wondering if Donghae was going to get up, but when the younger made no signs of waking, Hyukjae mentally smirked before poking his long tongue out of his mouth and swiping it through Donghae’s, making sure to reach past the middle of the cat’s mouth.
Donghae didn’t wake up; he only yawned again, trying to snuggle into the warmth Hyukjae provided. Hyukjae smiled at the Persian blue cat’s cuteness before repeating the action, letting his flat tongue linger in Donghae’s mouth for a bit longer this time.
Donghae’s eyes sprung open, and he jolted awake with an indignant meow. He accidently closed his mouth in the process, one of his fangs grazing the side of Hyukjae’s tongue, which had barely had time to leave the younger’s mouth. Hyukjae’s hissed in pain, and Donghae whined in apology. “Sorry, Hyukkie!”he gazed at Hyukjae through big eyes, wondering if the older was alright.
Hyukjae flashed Donghae a quick smile in response, flicking his tongue out to give Donghae’s nose a quick lick. Donghae closed his eyes and purred in satisfaction. “Do you remember what today is?” Hyukjae asked and Donghae opened his eyes, looking at Hyukjae in curiosity.
Donghae frowned slightly, his ears flattening along his head and he poked his tongue out of the corner of his mouth in an attempt to concentrate better. His tail flicked around as he thought hard; finally, he came up with an answer, startling Hyukjae with a quick response. “It’s what the humans call Valentine’s Day, right?”
Hyukjae smiled and nodded, brushing noses with Donghae. Both cats purred in contentment, reveling in the other’s company. “Does that mean we’re celebrating it, too?” Donghae asked in a mere whisper, his voice no louder than a quiet meow.
Hyukjae smiled and nodded before rising from his lying down position. He stretched his body, letting his tail stretch straight out and his neck elongate as far as it could. Donghae mimicked Hyukjae’s stretching as he rose, himself. Hyukjae left the comfort of his bed, padding across the fairly cool concrete ground. There was a slight bounce in his step, and Donghae followed behind, purring in happiness as he followed behind Hyukjae. The two cats passed Leeteuk on the way, where the oldest was still snuggled into his bed, purring in his slumber. When Hyukjae led the way towards the corner of the warehouse, past Jongwoon’s corner, they noticed that little baby kitten Ryeowook wasn’t in his usual position of under Jongwoon’s paw, like they usually slept all cuddled.
Hyukjae silently laughed, leading Donghae closer and closer to the bookshelves, where he thought they could have some privacy. “What are we doing here, Hyukkie?” Donghae asked curiously, glancing around the nearly empty shelves. Hyukjae used his back legs to propel himself up a shelf, and Donghae easily followed. They bounded up three shelves, until they were sitting comfortably on the fourth shelf from the bottom. It was a fairly shallow bookshelf in depth, so it didn’t go far back towards the wall, but the shelves were long, and stretched out enough that both Donghae and Hyukjae could fit without struggle.
“Donghae…,” Hyukjae called quickly, his voice a husky purr. Donghae, who hadn’t seen the predatory glint in Hyukjae’s eyes or the warning flick of his tail, turned to Hyukjae, but before he could open his mouth, Hyukjae had used his paw to push Donghae backwards. He used his head to do the rest of the work, shoving Donghae against the back of the bookshelf until the latter was flat against it, his tail sticking out sideways from behind him; its tail flicked around in anticipation as Hyukjae pressed his mouth against Donghae’s.
It wasn’t long before Hyukjae’s tongue had invaded Donghae’s mouth again, swiping through it, around it, and all over Donghae’s tongue. The two flat pieces of flesh lay on top of each other before Hyukjae pulled away, leaving both cats panting, a small hiss escaping Hyukjae’s mouth when Donghae darted forward and nipped the older on the front of his mouth.
Hyukjae pressed himself against Donghae and collided his mouth with the other’s. Again and again, Hyukjae and Donghae’s tongues met and the insides of mouths were explored. Hyukjae traced Donghae’s teeth, the sides of his tongue, and the ridges of his palette, leaving Donghae whimpering and mewling with little noises of satisfaction.
Donghae let out of a small yelp of hesitation, and Hyukjae immediately took notice, pulling away from the intoxication kiss immediately and gazing at Donghae with worry. “What’s wrong?” he asked, prodding Donghae’s chin with the top of his nose. Donghae gestured towards the floor of the warehouse, four shelves below where they were located.
Hyukjae glanced down and could barely make out the faint scampering of tiny claws clicking against the hard floor. He saw a white fluffball running away from the bookshelves and purred in amusement. “Ryeowookie saw us!” Donghae mewled quietly, but his protests were cut off once more when Hyukjae nipped the corner of his jaw with sharp teeth, leaving a pleasurable sting behind.
Hyukjae turned back to Donghae, watching the latter like a predator stalking his prey. Donghae gulped nervously, anticipating Hyukjae’s next move. When Hyukjae’s pressed Donghae back against the back of the bookshelf and kissed him deeply, letting their tongues and mouths and bodies move in unison, Dongahe didn’t forget to pull away while panting.
“Happy Valentine’s Day, Hyukkie,” he whispered, and Hyukjae butted his head in a playful show of loving aggression.
“Only humans celebrate that, silly,” he growled, and Donghae blinked in confusion. His words were once again cut off when Hyukjae remained persistent with his kisses, dotting Donghae’s face with little nips and licks, four shelves above the ground.
A/N: So this is just a late V-day thing. I wrote it flat in like... 23 minutes, because ablenkung updated her cat!verse, and then I remembered how I said I would write her the Hyukhae part of it because she didn't know how to! ^.^ So, I pulled this together really fast. I hope you still like it though!
I might or might not be actually working with Labonya on this cat!verse of hers, but if I do, nothing will be something you have to read to understand her original works for the verse. These Hyukhae's will be just mostly side things that you can read for fun, but I can still call it a collab? I don't know, but that's what she and I call it!
You should go read Labonya's Yewook cat!verse! It's just about the cutest thing ever! :) The update that this directly correlates to is linked at the top!
