New Instincts

Home is Where Your Heart is

It had been 2 days since the pack had split. Jimin and Namjoon had both taken on 2 odd jobs today and they rented a hotel for the night, it was the first time they had been in a big city in a very long time. Our little mate was not traveling well at the moment. Yoongi was currently sitting on a toilet seat massaging shampoo into Y/N's hair, it had been two days since pack split. He had heard so many stories of the first waves being hard to watch, but they didn't know how hard it would hit her.  He hoped having soak in a nice hot bubble bath, would help with the aching.

"I can't believe I'm soaking in an actual tub. The bubbles also smell so good. How did Jimin know what I would like?"

"I don't know, how does Jimin know anything?"

"You know, a girl could get used to being spoiled like this." She said as he finished rinsing her hair. He had a very gentle hold on her ears, so he could keep water out of them. "Yoongi, you didn't have to do this for me, you know that right? I'm not dying or even sick, I feel awkward about the three of you spoiling me the you have been."

"Even if you weren't in heat, I would make sure you were still right where you are in the tub." She smiled at him rolling her eyes. " No I'm serious little mate, you deserve it."

"I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about what I deserve. I just wanted to remind you, that I'm not a piece of glass that's gonna shatter, I am capable of taking care of myself."

So, that is what this is all about? She felt like they were hovering. Yoongi could understand he would find it aggravating as Hell. However, it couldn't be helped. After the incident, Namjoon said Y/N is not to be left alone for any reason, except to use the bathroom. It was for her safety.

"I am well aware you are capable of taking care of yourself, and once the threat is dealt with, things can back to normal." She opened her mouth to protest, but he swooped down and kissed her to interrupt her." Seriously, this won't be forever. So, for now anyway, just sit back and enjoy the ride."

Damn, these men were on another level. I wonder if they have plans for the future? So far as she knew, they hadn't really discussed it. In the beginning, it had just been them trying to get as far away from the facility as possible, then the threat of Nayla happened. Would they eventually settle somewhere?

"Yoongi, where would you like to live one day?"

"Where doesn't matter to me too much. The only thing that matters to me is being there with you and the pack. A home is just an empty house without a family." Yoongi look down at the tub and realized there was no more steam rising, and the bubbles were nearly all gone. "The water is going cold, isn't it? Why don't you let the water out? Afterwards, we will get ready for bed. They won't be back until much later, y/n, perhaps we could find a movie to watch"

That idea actually excited him a little. Before he met the pack, he used live with an elderly human couple, and would often sit and watch TV together in the evenings. He hadn't watched TV in a long time. She let out delighted squeal, which caught his attention. He turned to look her way and the sight in front of him took his breath away.

There she stood wet and naked with soap suds dripping down her body. She looked so sexy in that moment with a radiant smile on her face. It took him a minute to register that she was talking to him.

"Huh?" Huh? Really Yoongi, real smooth. "I mean I'm sorry I didn't hear what you were saying." Did she catch me checking her out? God that little tail of hers is devastating me.

"Down boy." She giggled. Oh she definitely caught him. "I said I am ready to get out would you hand me the towel?"

"Towel?" Snap out of it Yoongi, you are acting just like Jimin. He tore his eye off her and grabbed the towel, handed to her and walked out of the bathroom. As soon as the door closed behind him, he heard her cackling at him. While he was embarrassed that she had flustered him, he was so happy to hear her laughing.

Later while she was curled up with him, and had fallen asleep, Yoongi could not remember ever feeling more at peace and for the first time in a while, sleep came easy.
