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

Chapter 6

Minho started to panicking. Chan on the other hand seemed calmer than ever. He shifted to his cat form leaving the pants and the shirt he wore on the floor.

Minho still didn't believe his eyes. It was unbelievable for him that the cute little fluff-ball could turn into that hot man who was impossible to resist.

He tore himself from his thoughts and went to open the door. Six boy greeted him with a huge smile and stepped into the house. Felix jumped on Minho as he used to.

"I missed you, hyung" he shouted.

"We literally parted less than 24 hours ago, Felix" Minho rolled his eyes, but throw his arms around the freckled boy.

"Exactly" Felix nodded with a serious face.

"Where's Chan?" Hyunjin asked smiling as he stepped in.

"Who's Chan?" Changbin corrected.

"Minho-hyung took in a cat" Felix explained as he let go of Minho and hugged Changbin's arm instead.

"You cuddly-bug" Changbin patted his head.

"So where's Chan?" Hyunjin asked again.

"He's in the living room" Minho smiled but behind that smile he really hoped that Chan will keep his promise.

The boys run to the living room to meet the little kitty who laid on the couch as he owned it.

"I don't know if he's cuter or Jeongin" Seungmin seemed deep in thoughts. He snatched his nape as he looked at the cat then Jeongin than back to the cat.

The youngest scoffed. He he folded his arms offended, however he couldn't really decide that because he wanted to be the cuter one or he didn't wanted to be considered as cute but manly.

"I think Jeongin is the cuter. It's obvious" Minho stated and glared at the kitty.

The others looked at him weirdly.

"Yesterday you didn't even wanted to let go of him... What's happened in the night?" Hyunjin asked. "He expropriated your bed or something?"

He and Chan in the same bed... Minho became flushed red at the thought. He shook his head vigorously.

"He has his own bed here... " He pointed the fluffy cat bed they bought yesterday.

"Your weird today" Changbin said as he popped on the couch. He seemed like he wanted to say something else but a loud shouting from the kitchen interrupted.

"Hyung" the voice belonged to Jisung. "You totally forgot to buy snacks"

The snaks and the dinner was always on the house's owner where they met. It was a little rule that they made to avoid arguments. Minho mentally facepalmed... Of course he forgot. He had a tiny little problem that distracted him...

The said 'tiny little problem' still laid on the couch and enjoyed all the attention he got from the two youngest. But as he noticed Minho's glare he got up and marched to the boy. He rubbed his head on Minho's leg and even purred a little. The vibrations run through Minho's spine and made him shiver.

Thank god that Jisung came back from the kitchen followed by Changbin and Felix who still didn't let go of Changbin's hand. It prevented Minho to do something that he could regret later.

"Why don't we make our dear Minho-hyung to cook something as a punishment" Seungmin suggested.

They usually ordered something. But as Minho was a good cook they often asked him to cook instead.

The others seemed to accept Seungmin's suggestion.

"I still have to buy groceries" Minho sighed in defeat. "Also it's just 2 pm. Isn't it a bit early to have dinner already?"

"We can wait" Jisung shrugged as he throw himself on the couch next to Hyunjin.

Minho sighed but nodded and gave them a smile. He was the type to complain first but do it anyways. And he would do anything for his friends.

He grabbed his shoes and was just about to step out of the apartment when he felt a little tap on his shoulder. It was Felix. Apparently he let go of Changbin to go after Minho.

"I'm going with you, hyung" he flashed a wide smile at Minho.

"You really don't have to" Minho sniled back. "You can stay and play with the others"

"I really want to go with you." Felix shook his head still smiling. "I actually wanted to talk with you a bit..." He added hesitantly.

"Okay" Minho nodded. "Let's get going then"

Felix usual habit was to ask for advice of Minho. At first it was always about dancing and stuff but as the two got closer and closer the topics became more personal and sensitive. At this point Minho didn't even had to ask he knew it was about Changbin.

"Did he say something?" Minho asked as they walked to the shop nearby.

"I don't know, what to think..." Felix answered. "In one second he pay attention to me, or pat my head, or comliment me... But in another he seems to get along so well with Jisung. It's confusing."

"Don't you think that it would be time for a confession?" Minho asked carefully after a moment of silence.

"I swear I would do it if I would be brave enough." Felix sighed. "But as I start to talk about something like this with him, I just can't control my words anymore and just make a fool of myself."

Minho sighed too. It was hard to think about a solution. And it was so hard to not expose Changbin. Because it was his biggest problem that these two lovebirds just couldn't bring themselves to confess. And coincidentally they both chose Minho to tell him their crush on each other. Of course they both made him promise not to tell the other their feelings.

So Minho chose not to say anything just sigh again. He spread his arms for a hug. Felix buried his face in the crook of his neck as he hugged him tightly.
