Kneed You

Chapter 3

"You and Ten have been pretty close lately." Johnny stated, glancing over at Ten who was wrapped up in conversation with Taeyong and Doyoung. Jaehyun felt his ears heating up and he nodded. "I didn't mean to walk in on you guys the other day."

"It's fine but I think you misunderstood the situation. We weren't doing anything inappropriate. I just got a bit overstimulated so I bit him." Jaehyun muttered

"Are you a cat now?" Johnny laughed, but Jaehyun focused his attention on Johnny's empty mug. It was so close to the edge of the table and Ten wasn't paying attention.

He reached over, his fingers grazing the mug, shifting it barely an inch.

"Jaehyun." Ten pointed a finger at him. He looked up, eyes wide and full of feigned innocence. How did Ten even know? It must be his extensive experience as an owner of mischievous cats, he's probably learned to expect the unexpected with them. Jaehyun's fingers twitched and he looked back at the mug, inching it towards the edge of the table. "Jaehyun, no." Ten scolded. Johnny looked between the two of them, confused.

Jaehyun's eyes snapped back up to Ten. He knew he shouldn't do it but this mug was so offensive the way it sat on the table, just staring at him, taunting him. He needed to assert his dominance over it and he needed to do it soon.

"Jaehyun, don't even think about it."

"But—" Jaehyun started, fingers still on the mug. Ten growled and stood up.

Jaehyun felt panic strike him and he knocked the mug off the table and bolted from his chair.

"Jaehyun! No! Bad boy!" Ten hissed running after him. Jaehyun ran into a corner, trying to decide which direction to turn and then Ten's hand grabbed the hair at the base of his neck, making Jaehyun freeze up.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Jaehyun whined "It wasn't me!"

"I saw you do it! Don't make me get the spray bottle again." Ten scolded. The tip of Jaehyun's tail flicked angrily.

Shit. When did that come out?

He whined, backing up, trying to twist out of Ten's grip.

"What the... what just happened?" Taeyong laughed. Jaehyun felt his ears flick and he whined again, somehow wriggling around to face Ten. He placed his hands on Ten's cheek and tried to peel away from him.

"Let go" He growled, finally breaking free of Ten but he found himself surrounded by the other members, looming over him, enthralled by the soft ears, poking and prodding at his tail.

"Guys I don't corner him, he gets nippy when he feels threatened." Ten tried to wedge himself between Jaehyun and the others.

Jaehyun made a low growl in his throat and latched onto Ten's arm, biting down hard.

"Ow! Fuck! Jaehyun what did I say about biting!" Ten shrieked. Jaehyun bolted to his room, taking refuge in the bundles of blankets on his bed.
