There, there, kitty... || Minchan/Banginho Short Story

Chapter 3

To wrap the bandages off from himself was one thing. But clean the wound properly and wrap the bandages back around his torso and arm was a whole other thing. And Chan had to do the whole process in complete silence.

After he found some sweatpants in Minho's closet to wear and found the first aid kit in the bathroom he unwraped the bandages and got rid of the old cotton pads that prevented the bandages to get stucked in the wound.

He struggled with the cotton pads to rub the iodine he found in the kit gently on the wound. He bit his lips to muffle the groans that tried to escape his mouth. He sat on the edge of the bathtub and sighed heavily.

He didn't notice the click of the door...

And when he heard Minho's scream it was too late. He whipped his head towards the boy who just stepped in the bathroom.

Minho didn't slept that deep and when he heard noises from the bathroom his eyes just opened quickly.

When he looked around and didn't find the kitty around him he just thought that the little one just wandered around the house and broke something in the bathroom. So he headed there. He had to take a shower anyway. But he absolutely wasn't prepared what waited for him there.

After the rather loud scream left his lips he froze. Cause what the heck do you do when you find a stranger in your bathroom and instead of throwing something sharp at him you find him hella hot? Minho blinked numerous times, his cheeks slowly burn up.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" He wanted to shout at the stranger but the sentence came out as a scared whisper. Well, he was scared indeed.

"I can explain..." Chan put his hands up to indicate that he means no threat however Minho didn't finish.

"How did you get in? Are you here to kidnap me? What are you doing in the bathroom? Why are you half naked? And... Oh my god, your injured, let me help you!" He said suddenly and stepped in the bathroom.

He knew he was being unreasonable. You don't help a complete stranger who just broke into your house and probably came to kidnap you and sold your organs, but he couldn't prevent himself from taking the cotton pads and the iodine from Chan. The reflex that didn't let him leave the kitty on the street, also didn't let him to leave the injured stranger in his bathroom.

Although he needed all of his will-power to not get distracted he managed to focus on treating the wound. But he did notice some details that worried him.

Chan sat there surprised. Almost as surprised as he was when he first saw Minho. Both times that worried look on the boy's delicate features.
Minho's slender fingers touching his skin gently to not cause any more pain. His red ears and his eyes that showed so much care. Chan felt himself smiling.

"You were like this when you found me" he said quietly when Minho finished wrapping the bandages.

Minho stepped back. The sentence brought him back to reality. And the reality was that there was a hot, half naked stranger in his bathroom. He felt himself panicking. He desperate searched for something that he could protect himself with.

"What do you mean?" He asked still whispering.

"I didn't break in. I was in all the time. Actually you were the one who brought me here" Chan stood up. He slowly stepped closer to Minho. The boy moved back until his back hit the cold wall. "I don't want to hurt you" Chan placed his hand on the wall near Minho's flushed face.

Minho grabbed tightly the flat iron that he grabbed from the little table in the bathroom. But Chan's big hand slowly, almost stroking his arms, made its was to Minho's cute, small hand and snatched the flat iron from him.

"I won't hurt you." Chan said again making clear that he has no intention to cause any harm to the boy.

"You still didn't answer any of my questions" Minho whispered back. He couldn't decide whether he liked the close proximity between him and the handsome stranger or not.

Chan on the other hand was really enjoying the situation. The confused Minho was the most adorable view. As he blinked numerously in confusion, his lips slightly parted, his cheeks perfectly rosy. The whole look was just so tempting.

But then Minho realized that he didn't find his kitty at all and he started worry. So he pushed the handsome stranger away and stormed out on the bathroom. He strated search for his cat. And when he couldn't find him he passionately attacked the stranger who just made himself comfortable on the couch in the mean time.

"What have you done with my cat?!" Minho was furious. His voice came back too.

"Good that you live alone" Chan shook his head. "You would wake everyone up"

"I won't ask again" Minho gritted his teeth.

"I am your cat, silly" Chan laughed.

Silence...

"Huh?" Minho stepped back, almost falling.

"I am your cat, Lee Minho. The one who you brought home." He nodded again. His expression serious this time. "I'm Chan."
