The Hybrid's Mate

38

Gulf woke up that morning and noticed that Mew was no longer in the nursery. He saw Doctor Tay hovering over one of the cribs. Baby Nathaniel was awake.

"Morning, Doc. Where did my darling husband go?!"Gulf said groggily.

"Mew?" Doctor Tay asked stupidly.

"Well, duh! Of course Mew! Do I have another husband that I don't even know about?!" Gulf exclaimed impatiently.

"Ok ok...you don't have to be so hostile, my dear patient! Your husband, Mew, just had to go somewhere to do something important with his siblings and Prem. They'll be back tonight...I think..." the doctor answered to the best of his ability. He had to be very careful not to say anything about what was really going on.

Gulf looked at him confused. What the doctor said was really vague. He was being suspicious.

"Sorry doc, I didn't mean to yell, but umm...I don't get it. Please tell me what really is happening."

"Well, Gulf..." Doctor Tay looked away. He felt guilty for hiding something from Gulf. However, Mew made him promise not to say anything so he was going to do just that. "Sorry but I think it's better if you don't know. Don't worry about it. Mew and the others can take care of themselves."

"Ok Doc, if you say so..." Gulf said finally. He decided not to care for the meantime. He trusted that whatever Mew was doing had been well thought out. For now, he should look after his children. They could still be in danger after all. The Resistance 2.0 were still out there.

That's what Gulf thinks of course but little did he know, Mew has plans to kill and torture all of the Resistance 2.0 members.

*after a couple of hours

Gulf just got Baby Nathaniel to sleep when he noticed that it was 2 am already and Mew was not yet home.

Shit! It's already 2 am! I wonder where that asshole is?

Gulf thought to himself. He was quite angry with Mew already. He called a few times but Mew never answered. He also texted but no response. Not even a read. If not for Doctor Tay, Gulf would have had a really hard time.

It was early morning, Gulf saw that Doctor Tay was already tired and he felt sorry for the poor doctor.

"Hey Doc, you can just leave me if you want. You seem very tired already."

"Nah, it's fine Gulf. It's really not a problem. I mean, it's not like I can leave the house anyway. The protection wards I placed on the house are linked to me. I have to stay here in case of problems."

"Ok, Doc. But if you want to, you can just sleep on the couch over there. It seems like Mew and the others aren't gonna get here anytime soon."

"Well, if you insist, I shall take you up on your offer. Just make sure to wake me if something goes wrong!"

"It's fine Doc, you can head back to the guest room. I'll take it from here." A loud, booming voice exclaimed from the doorway. Gulf didn't need to look to know who the person was. It was Mew, obviously. "I'm back, Mi Amor."

Doctor Tay stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. So, he just sat on the couch. He could feel that an altercation was going to happen because he could see that Gulf was so angry that he wouldn't even look Mew's way. Mew noticed the same thing, so he immediately rushed to place his hands on Gulf's shoulders and gently caressed his upper arms.

"Hey, mi amor. Will you not welcome me back at all? Will you not even look at me? Will you do nothing?"

Still no response from Gulf. He just angrily swatted Mew's hands off him.

"Darling, look, I really am sorry for coming back so late, okay?! Calm down, dear"

Instead of answering, Gulf stormed off to their shared bedroom and Mew rushed after him.

"Well, that escalated quickly. It looks like I have to be the one to look after the twins tonight. Not a problem. I have nothing better to do anyway..." Doctor Tay thought to himself. He couldn't just leave the twins unattended. He really didn't mind because the twins were well-behaved and very cute.

*meanwhile in the bedroom

Immediately after Gulf stormed away, Mew came after him and tried to coax him. Right now, Gulf was sitting on the bed visibly seething.

"Mi amor, don't be like that to your Mewmew. Let's talk about this."

Gulf then finally looked at Mew.

"You want to talk?! Ok, let's talk! Let's talk about how you let me take care of the babies by myself! How you just left without telling me where you were going and what you were gonna do!" Gulf was so angry, he just harshly slapped Mew in the face after that. "Where were you, Mew?" Gulf started crying and hitting Mew all over his body. Mew accepted the blows Gulf was giving him and just hugged him so that he would stop.

"Mi amor, forgive me. Trust me, I did what I did for you and our children. Please understand darling. Please stop thrashing around. Do not be a brat. I do not want you to hurt yourself and I know that you do not want to hurt me too, even if you deny it."

"Oh, so I'm the bad guy here?! Is that what you're say~" Before Gulf could even finish what he was saying, Mew had already smashed their lips together. Then, Mew started touching Gulf's body everywhere. But Gulf couldn't allow any more of that to happen. Gulf was a hybrid now therefore he was strong enough to release himself from Mew's hold. And he did so, with ease. He gently pushed Mew to the side. He was angry, but he couldn't bring himself to actually injure Mew. He loved him too much.

"Mew San Miguel! You know I love you, but you can't keep doing this! You can't solve all our problems with sex! That's not how it works!" Gulf exclaimed angrily, looking at Mew pointedly and trying to stand far enough from him so that he wouldn't get any more ideas.

"Okay, my dear, I am sorry. I do not wish to anger you even more than I already have. Calm down, please. Come, have a seat here. I shall tell you all you wish to know." Mew said calmly and gestured for Gulf to sit beside him on the couch by the bed.

Gulf did as he was told. Mew then took Gulf's hand and placed it on his lap. While still holding Gulf's hand on his lap, Mew finally started explaining himself.

"So, I shall begin. But first, you must know that I did what I did to avenge you and to assure the continued safety of our children. This morning, my siblings, Prem, and I went off to hunt down the Resistance 2.0. Because Sammy was able to communicate with them before, she was well aware of who the leader was. We were able to track him down, and then we coerced him to divulge the necessary information to track down all of the bloody Resistance 2.0 members and eventually, publicly execute them. It was very bloody and violent and I just know that you abhor such things. That was why I couldn't tell you beforehand. Forgive me, mi amor. Wait, you don't look angry. Why...are you not angry?"

"Of course, I am not angry. Those bozos deserved what they got! I am a little annoyed though, that you didn't deem me worthy enough to join you guys."

"No no, darling, it is not like that. You are more than worthy...it is just that your hybrid powers are too new and unstable. You have not learned to control them yet. You could be a danger to yourself and everyone around you. I cannot put you in a position where the possibility of getting hurt is certain. I refuse to lose you again, please understand. I cannot allow it. It will be the death of me, I tell you."

"Ok, I understand. But, did you really kill them all already? Like all of them? You didn't leave any for me? Even just one?"

"Well, about that..."
