TW: seungmin sh!fts twice, seungmin talks about $ex with his therapist, p@nic @ttack, multiple flashbacks, svbspace, breif mention of jeongin e@ting out felix and seungmin

"afterwards... can I just be alone with innie...?" seungmin asks and felix nods "of course you can. I get that this is hard. you've never shifted with just me before. but I promise I mean no harm. did you just want to cuddle and get some pets?"

seungmin nods and rests his head on felixs shoulder "why is this so scary.."

felix frowns and hugs the younger "because it's something new. but remember, jeongins right outside okay? he isn't leaving. he'll hear you cry or whine if something happens."

seungmin nods "thanks lix... it's nothing against you it's just... them. they always punished me alone when it came to that stuff..."

"I understand pup. take your time. shift whenever you're ready. and if you can't do it today that's fine!" felix says and seungmin shakes his head. I need to do this today. then I can talk to Iseul about it today too.

seungmin closes his eyes and slowly shifts. and felix doesn't touch him, just waiting until the puppy decided to get closer to him and rub his head against the scent gland on his wrist. "hi pup! can I pet you?" seungmin barks and flinches a little when felix goes to pet him but he recovers rather quickly.

"good pup. you feel safe?" felix asks and seungmin lets out a small bark making him smile. "I'm glad. if that changes just whine. I'll back away and I'll get your innie."

seungmin barks and crawls into felixs lap, curling up in a ball. felix coos and pets his ears gently. "such a pretty puppy."

seungmin looks up at felix then starts gently licking his hand to soothe himself. and seungmin waits for the hand to be drawn away from him as he slowly closes his eyes, waits for him to get smacked. but it never happens. eventually he pulls away, not wanting to get sleepy because he just wanted to enjoy this time with felix. but he can't help it when he doses off since felix was petting his ears and his back. it just felt too calming.

when seungmin wakes up he stretches out in felixs lap, his ears perking up as he hears something. he looks over to see the tv playing... something he didn't really like. so he just focuses on being with felix. "oh hi pup! did you have a good nap?" seungmin barks

"mm... that's good! oh! sorry, you probably don't like this. here, I got something we can watch. apparently dogs really like to watch it." felix turns on bluey and seungmin tilts his head, his tail wagging like crazy already at the intro. he barked at the dogs and watched very closely while felix petted him. there's so many colors! it's so pretty!

if seungmin weren't a puppy right now, he'd be squealing like crazy. cause this is such an adorable show. the dogs are so cute and they kinda have accents like felix and chan do! it was so cool! he loved it so much. but he was getting kinda hungry. by the time the episode ended, his stomach growling. felix turns off the show and looks at seungmin. "do you wanna eat in here or go eat with the rest?"

hmm... I kinda miss the others. so seungmin decides to shift back after moving off of felixs lap. "that was really nice hyung. thank you for being so patient with me."

"oh of course sweetie! I know this is really hard but you're doing so good. did you like the show?"

seungmin nods "it's really colorful! and and! the characters have similar accents to you and channie!"
