Kneed You

Chapter 2

They were eating dinner in the dorm when Jaehyun's eyes landed on Yuta's bracelet, the dangling piece drawing his attention.

"So it just didn't work out." Yuta stated, pointing his chopsticks at Mark. "But you were right. She just dropped him as soon as he mentioned."

"Dude, he dodged a bullet!" Mark laughed, clapping his hands together. The noise made Jaehyun flinch, bracing his hands on the table. It seemed louder than it should have been, then he felt a tingly at the base of his spine.

"Fuck!" Jaehyun hissed, shooting out of his chair and running to his room. He slammed the door shut and fished out his phone to message Ten.

Jaehyun: it's happening again

Ten: really? Send me a picture!

Jaehyun: Just come over please and do whatever you did last time to change me back

Ten: I'm downstairs right now. I'll head up.

Jaehyun climbed onto his bed, crawling beneath the blankets, securing himself inside. It was only a few minutes before Ten had arrived. Jaehyun could hear him enter the dorm before any if the others noticed him.

"Jaehyun here?" Ten asked

"Yeah he ran to his room just now." Yuta stated

"Is it just me or has he been a bit skittish lately?" Taeil asked. Jaehyun groaned. They could already tell something was off.

"I think its because of the ears." Ten stated. Jaehyun felt his blood run cold.

"Ears? Does he have an ear infection or something?' Yuta asked.

"No. He randomly sprouts cat ears and is in his room so you guys don't think he's a freak." Ten stated, the problem with the way Ten spoke was that everything sounded sarcastic so when he said this everyone else burst into laughter.

Ten entered the room and approached the bed.

"Jaehuynnie," Ten cooed, putting his hand on Jaehyun's back. "If you come out I'll give you a treat."

"You told them I had ears."

"Oh please, they didn't take that seriously." Ten poked at Jaehyun. He saw the blanket move and he batted at it, trying to grab it through the blanket, earning a giggle from Ten. Ten pulled the blanket off him and stroked Jaehyun's hair.

"You are so cute like this." Ten laughed, scratching that spot that made Jaehyun turn to jelly. "What a good boy." Ten smiled.

"That feels so good, Hyung." Jaehyun stretched out on his bed, rolling onto his back.

"Are you able to tell when it's about to happen?" Ten asked. Jaehyun nodded sleepily "Then I wonder what the trigger is to turn you back." Ten wondered aloud. Honestly he'd be okay with being a cat for a little longer if it meant he could feel like this.

"Do you want that treat?" Ten asked, holding up a small twig. Jaehyun wiggled his nose, lifting his head to smell it.

He rubbed his cheek on it a few times before nibbling on the end of it. It tasted horrible.

"Ew what is that?" Jaehyun groaned, spitting it out.

"Silvervine. Its like catnip." Ten stated, tossing it to the ground. Jaehyun immediately sat up, his eyes focusing of the stick. There was something about it that made him want to gnaw on it despite the horrible taste.

Jaehyun peaked around Ten, completely fixated to the stick, like it was going to run away.

Then he pounced, grabbing it with both hands before he began chewing on it. He didn't know how long it had been but he sprawled out on his floor, laying on top of the silvervine, coming down from his high.

He was enjoying the final few minutes of it when he reverted back to normal.

He groaned, blinking up at Ten through glazed over eyes, it was like he didn't have any control over his instincts as a cat.

"Welcome back." Ten laughed

"Don't ever do that to me again." He grumbled
