"Kitten Comfort"

Jisung stirred awake at the sound of whimpering, he frowned with his eyes closed before blinking them open and rubbing the sleep from them. He realized the strange sound was coming from Minho, who was lying beside him, curled up in a ball, and visibly squirming in his sleep. His beautiful face which was usually relaxed or playful was creased with worry and beads of sweat collected on his forehead.

"Min, wake up," Jisung murmured.

Minho didn't hear him and the whimpering turned into pitiful cries as a tear slipped from the corner of his eyes and rolled down his cheeks.

"Baby, please wake up," Jisung tried again, shaking Minho's shoulder gently.

Minho shot up into a sitting position gasping, his eyes wide and his heart pounding. He looked around frantically before Jisung cupped his face and forced it to the side until their eyes locked. Minho calmed almost instantly at the sight.

"I'm here, shhhh, I'm here," Jisung shushed. "It's me, Min. You're safe with me."

"S-Sungie," Minho stuttered as more tears fell. "I... I... Sungie, I had a nightmare," he cried, hiccuping as he threw his arms around Jisung and buried his face in the crook of Jisung's neck.

"It wasn't real, it's okay," Jisung comforted as his hands smoothed over Minho's back to calm him. "This is real. I'm here and you're here with me. You're safe, baby, I promise. Hm, shhhh, I'm here."

Minho nodded slightly, not wanting to move or leave the warmth of Jisung's body. He breathed in his scent and his shoulders relaxed some more, leaving him only sniffling and clutching at Jisung's shirt with small fists.

"Oh, my sweet kitten," Jisung murmured. "Let me see your face."

Reluctantly, Minho pulled away to create a small space between them just enough for Jisung to see his face. Jisung leaned forward and kissed Minho's forehead softly, he then left featherlight kisses on the hybrid's cheeks, and nose, and a gentle peck on his lips. Minho released a sigh as his eyes fluttered closed at the soothing feeling.

"Baby, you haven't had a nightmare in a while. What happened, hm?" Jisung muttered. 

He used his thumb to brush away the stray tears before cupping Minho's cheek in a warm hand. Minho nuzzled into the touch, yearning for it, and purring in content. Jisung smiled slightly, leaning forward and kissing the tip of Minho's nose again. Minho shook his head with as little movement as possible, refusing to break the contact between them.

"I don't know... I just... I just dreamed that I was back there," Minho said quietly. "He was hitting me, telling me... how worthless I am. That I'm a bad cat, that I don't deserve love... but I'm not a bad cat, Sungie. I'm not."

"I know that sweet kitten," Jisung reassured. He stroked Minho's black hair, running his fingers through the strands before scratching lightly behind his cat ears. "You've never been a bad cat. I know that better than anyone, Min. Never doubt it. You're my sweet, amazing, and adorable kitty."

"But- "

"No," Jisung shook his head, purposely interrupting him and the bad thoughts that lingered. "You're the bravest. The sweetest. The best cat anyone could ever have. And you're mine, I'm so lucky for that." He caressed Minho's cheek and chin while his free arm wound around the hybrid and pulled him into Jisung's lap. "Never think less of yourself. You're better than every human I've come across. I won't let you think such lies. I'll prove to you every day just how wrong those thoughts are. My precious, cute kitten."

"Sungie, I'm luckier to have you."

"We're lucky to have found each other. You needed me just as much as I needed you," Jisung said, holding the back of Minho's head and hugging the hybrid to his chest. "Without you, I wouldn't be the owner of the most wonderful hybrid in the world."

"Stop," Minho murmured, rubbing his cheek against Jisung's shoulder until his face was hidden in his neck again.

"It's true, and I'm serious, Min. I'll remind you every day if you need it," Jisung stated. "I need you to love yourself as much as I love you. You're the best kitten and the best thing to ever happen to me. No more nightmares, okay?"

Minho nodded softly. "I'll try."

"Do you want to try and sleep some more?" Jisung asked after another minute.

"Hm," Minho hummed. "But keep hugging me."

Jisung smiled. "I won't let you go."

"Promise?"

"I don't need to promise, you can see for yourself," Jisung told him.

He repositioned them in bed, bringing the blankets up to cover them both and wrapping Minho's favorite fluffy mint-colored blanket around his shoulders for extra comfort. He opened his arms and Minho wriggled until he was safely snuggled in them. Jisung kissed the top of his head and kept carding his fingers through Minho's silky black hair until the hybrid began purring sleepily.

"I love you, Min."

"I love you, Sungie," Minho muttered, half asleep. "You're the best owner... best boyfriend too."

Jisung's hug tightened and he kissed Minho's temple. "My kitten deserves only the best. Sleep now, Min. You know you're always safe with me."
