I'm Not Your Pet

Chapter Five

The couple were standing in their store, happily talking to each other when Chanyeol ran in through the door. They both stared at the taller man in surprise.

"I think there's something wrong with Baekhyun!"

Kyungsoo and Jongin looked at each other, and then at Chanyeol who was having difficulties trying to catch his breath. The taller man huffed and Kyungsoo motioned him to follow him to the back. Jongin was left behind the counter, boyfriend-less and pouting.

"What do you mean wrong?" he asked when they were both seated. The coffee cups were filled up and Kyungsoo was starting to get impatient.

"He does THINGS!" he squirmed out.

Kyungsoo raised an eyebrow.

"Things?"

"You know..." he started to flap his hands, trying to describe what he meant. He got another judgemental look from his friend.

"Touching me." He whined out and hid his face.

"He's touching you." Kyungsoo said slowly, more like a statement than a question. He crossed his arms and waited for Chanyeol to continue.

"He hugged me and sniffed my neck okay!" he exclaimed embarrassed behind his hands.

"Oh my god, Chanyeol. You're overreacting."

"Am I?" he piped out and looked at Kyungsoo through his fingers.

"Yes." Kyungsoo nodded and took a sip of his coffee. He was having difficulties not to roll his eyes over his friends. Talk about being overdramatic.

Chanyeol looked relieved and a little bit puzzled. He bit his lip and frowned.

"But-" he stopped himself and Kyungsoo groaned on the inside.

"What?"

His cheeks reddened and he took a hold of his coffee cup.

"What do I do about those... heats?"

"I'll describe you some of our heat suppressants that Baekhyun can take. Can't believe Jongin didn't send you some in the first place. Stupid." He clicked his tongue and Chanyeol breathed a sigh of relief. The coffee suddenly tasted a lot better, when the worries had been lifted off his shoulders.

Chanyeol decided to stop at the store on his way home. He felt a bit bad leaving Baekhyun home all alone. The cat hybrid had seemed a bit mad when he told him he was going out for a bit. When he had asked if he was upset, he had only gotten a hiss in reply.

Chanyeol rolled his shoulders, trying to loosen up a little. His back was tense and sore after a night with almost no sleep. His head had been clouded by a pair of golden eyes. Every time he had closed his own eyes he felt like Baekhyun was right there, breathing at his neck.

After making up his mind of which sweets to buy, he walked out of the store happily. Chanyeol unlocked his car, and glanced at the bag he got from Kyungsoo. The thought of Heat and Baekhyun made the tall man blush once more and he shook his head. He took a deep breath, before he started the car and made his way home.
