"So..." you begin, trying to make small talk with the strange man in your room as you fold and tuck away the stray items of clothing back into your dresser. "Want to tell me a bit about yourself, uh... Taehyung?"

He pats experimentally at his new white button down shirt and black jeans (complimentary of your wardrobe), eyes flicking up curiously.

Actually, now that you think about it, how did you so conveniently happen to own clothes that fit him? You're pretty sure the two of you are not the same size...

A sly grin, which you can only describe as catlike, spreads across Taehyung's lips as he shakes the delicate strands of silvery hair from his line of sight and tips his head up to face you. Golden eyes focus on your own, and the intensity and still unfamiliarity of them makes you nearly jump in your skin. Now that he's donned some clothes, however, you can at least face him properly.

"And what exactly is it that you would like to know?"

You purse your lips, valiantly staring him down while choosing to ignore how the streams of sun seeping from your window curtains dance across his face and cast him in a heavenly glow. He is almost akin to an angel, the silver halo of hair and the flowy white shirt definitely add to the scene.

One thing is for sure, though, this man is anything but angelic.

A frown sets on your face yet he only continues smiling over at you innocently, basked in his deceitfully holy glow, and it makes you frown even deeper.

"Stop doing that."

"Stop doing what?" His deliberately light tone irks you.

"That! Stop acting all sweet and innocent, this isn't some kind of game! You think that sways me?"

Yes. But no way are you admitting that to him.

The tall ears atop Taehyung's head lay flat and he sticks out his lower lip in a pout. His alarmingly endearing actions are becoming more and more difficult to ignore.

"No? Darn, and here I thought I had you wrapped around my paw, Y/n..."

At the mention of your name, your narrowed eyes fly open and an accusatory finger is thrust towards him. "And that! How do you know my name?"

He hums, turning away uncaringly to adjust the cuffs of his sleeves while pointedly ignoring your glare.

"I overheard you speaking with that shop worker," he answers cooly, voice smooth and low. "Speaking of which, you did agree to take me out sometime today, correct?"

"What? No I didn't!"

"Well, now you have."

You grit your teeth.

"When do I get my cat back, anyway?" you hiss, already annoyed with him when he's hardly done anything at all. All you wanted was a furry companion, yet this is what you got stuck with. This insufferable, haughty being who hides behind a glowing curtain and sweet smile.

The creature beams, all pearly teeth, and a low chuckle escapes from between his pretty pink lips. You scowl.

"What's so funny? You don't seriously expect to stay like... this..." you gesture vaguely to his humanoid form, "forever, do you?"

Taehyung shakes his head, the silky silver tail flicking a bit as he does.

"No need to cause a fuss, you will have your cat. So impatient, tsk tsk, I've barely even begun..." he chortles, voice trilling on an air of excitement as he trots up to stand in front of you, golden eyes alight with glee.

"Now then," he all but sings, and suddenly he's right in front of you, leant down with his face hovering inches from your own. Your heart vaults in your chest. "Shall we go?"
