Kitty Comfort

Chapter 27: "...fangirl over my own hybrid boyfriend..."

The day was dreary, Christmas was in two days and I was stuck in the office overloaded with paperwork. Yoongi was starting to get lonely as I was being home less and less for the past couple weeks. Yoongi and I had been visiting my mom once a week as she was recovering. She seemed in especially good spirts once she learned that we were dating and that the Christmas season was here. Christmas was her favorite holiday and Yoongi and I promised to come see her on Christmas Day to see if we could get her out of the hospital for a couple of hours if we were lucky.  The rest of my family I hadn't seen in a very long time.  My father and mother got divorced when I was in middle school and he ended up moving to the United States for his job and he took my older brother, Ju-hyun, with him.  I hadn't seen or heard from them other than the occasions phone calls on holidays or if Ju-hyun would sometimes Skype me.  I actually found out last year that he got married an now had a little baby boy named Jeon-hyun. I got to see him and his wife through a video chat last Christmas.  I hope I will get to see little Jeon-hyun this Christmas as all I've seen of him is some pictures Ju-hyun has sent me.
   I got home from work exhausted and it was already dark out.  I trudged through the door and basically dropped everything off the minute I walked in.  I heard the piano music that had been muffled by the door stop.  I knew that is what Yoongi spent a lot of his past time doing.  He had actually been delving really deep into his music with all the free time he had when I was gone and he would eat bored.  After Christmas I was going to help him look for some work at some of the local music production studios so he could do what he obviously loves to do.  Which was something he would have never have had a chance to do before I got him from the shelter.

    "(Y/n)."  Greeted Yoongi with a light smile.  I could help but lighten up a bit as I peeked up to his voice.   He was standing next to the piano and I didn't saw a work as I walked numbly over to him.  I paused only for a second to look at him before I wrapped my arms around his waist and clung onto him like plastic wrap.  I let out a low chuckle as he wrapped his arms around me securely.  Being there made me feel so much better after a long day if work.
    "I'm so fucking tired."  I moaned into his chest causing him to snort in laughter.
    "Then lets get you a bath and bed."   He suggested.  I simply nodded as I let him lead me to the bedroom.  I was like a zombie as I aimless my search for clothes only to end up picking a pair of underwear and one of Yoongi's hoodies from his closet   I stumble to the bathroom to find Yoongi already running a bath for me causing me to internally fan girl over my own hybrid boyfriend over how boyfriend material goals he was. 
   "You're amazing."  I whispered under my breath.  Yoongi heard me with his enhanced hybrid hearing and a smirk crept onto his face.
    "I'm amazing am I?" He teased as my face flushed pink.
    "Of course.   You are the best boyfriend ever."  I commented with a smile as I walked over and looked my arms around his waist. 
    "Can this awesome boyfriend join your bathtime?"  He posed curiously. I pretended to think for a moment before a smile stretched across my face. 
    "Only if we actually get clean.  No funny business.  Got it Mister."  I warned him as I poked his chest causing him to laugh as he took my poking hand into his own and lowered it away from his chest.  
    "No funny business...unless you change your mind."  He grinned causing me to roll my eyes at him.
    "I'm pretty tired.  You'll probably have to try and keep me awake more than anything."  I retorted as I stepped back and slipped my shirt over my head.  I didn't have the chance to take it fully off as Yoongi snatched it off of me and discarded it.  I turned around and moved my hair as he Unclipped my bra for me.  I let it fall to the floor and I turned around to Yoongi missing most of his clothes. 
    "How did you do that so fast!!?"  I asked in amazement.  He just gave me a cheeky grin.
   "Boyfriend magic."  He replied pretending to make little fireworks with his hands.  I just shook my head in amusement as I took off the rest of my clothes and slinked into the bathtub.  It was times like this that I praised the lord for having money and investing in a nice large tub.      I moved forwards as Yoongi slid in behind me.  I turned around to face him with a sneaky grin as I smacked a large mountain of bubbles on his head.  He gave me a playful grin.
    "I thought you said no funny business."  He reminded causing me to pout. 
    "Yeah, yeah I know."  I replied brushing it off.  "Turn around kitty cat."  I ordered.
   "Why?"  He asked instantly.
"Just do it."  I whined slightly causing him to chuckle before doing what I asked.   Moved away from him a bit and I guided his shoulders to have him lean back in to the water. I waited until his hair was wet before I grabbed shampoo and gently began to work my fingers through his hair.  I had never done this in this kind of setting before as I would usually just run my fingers through his hair on the couch or at night when he was trying to sleep.  Within seconds his white cat ears popped out of the top of his head as low purrs filled the room.  I let out a slight giggle as I massaged deeper and making sure to keep water out of his cat ears,but to still wash around them.   When I started rubbing around his white ears a low moan echoed out of his mouth, his eyes still shut.
    "I thought you said no funny business."  He sighed out. 
    "I'm washing your hair, silly.  So it doesn't count."  I commented.  "Can you put your ears away?  I don't want them to get wet."  I asked carefully before I rinsed his hair.  He managed to tame them back in as I stopped touching his hair.  
    "Turn around, your turn."  Motioned Yoongi.  I turned around without question.  I knew he would probably enjoy this as much or more than I would as he loved getting the chance to play with my hair, which didn't really come often now.   He was gentle as he ran his fingers through my damp hair, detangling it as he washed it.  It felt nice to have someone else wash your hair.  I didn't realize I must had fallen asleep until I woke up to Yoongi carefully holding me up as he got out of the tub.  I blinked around as I tried to figure out what was happening.   Yoongi helped me as I sleepily got out of the warm water and wrapped a large towel around me like a child before leading me out back to my room...well I guess it was kinda our room now since he hardly would ever sleep in his own bed unless he was sick or didn't want to wake me up.
    I felt like a child as I sleepily out on the clothes I had picked out,  nearly falling over as I tried to put my underwear on.  I was exhausted as I flung myself into my bed still half asleep.  Yoongi walked in as he was still drying his hair with the towel wearing sweats and a t-shirt.
   "Is that my hoodie?"  He asked as he walked over other side of the bed and got it.
     "Yes."  I mumbled sleepily as I rolled towards him,  The second he laid down I latched onto him like a baby koala. 
    "What did you eat today that made you so cuddly?"  He asked with a slight chuckle. 
    "Mmmmm nothing special....just tired...and you sleepy kitty magic hormones make it better."  I mumbled as I felt myself falling asleep.
  "Glad that they are good for something."  He chuckles. We both fell asleep quite quickly.

I was awoke by my phone ringing on the nightstand next to me. I rolled over with an annoyed groan as I reached blindly for my phone. Yoongi shifted next to me, still asleep and he curled up in the blankets next to me. I sleepily answered my phone.
"Hello?" I asked groggily. It was still pitch black out side.
"Is this Miss, (y/f). (Y/l/n)?" Asked the lady in the other end of the phone. She sounded serious so I sat up in the bed, more awake now.
"This is she." I responded. Yoongi was awake now he sleepily looked at me with a look of concern for why I was on the phone in the middle of the night.
"What's going on?" He asked sleepily.
"Miss. (Y/l/n) this is the (hospital name)." Said the lady on the phone. My heart seemed to stop for a moment.
"Is something wrong? Is my mother okay?" I asked anxiously. There was a long pause on the phone.
"(Y/n)...your mother passed away a few hours ago." She said. I dropped the phone as my heart dropped with it. I must have looked pretty scary because Yoongi scrambled and got the phone.
"Hello?...This is her boyfriend...she's in shock, I think...*silence*...yes...yes I will make sure...yes we will be there soon. Bye." He said before hanging up and turning to me. I was still shell shocked by the news.
"(Y/n)...(y/n)". He said shaking me gently bringing be back to the reality of things.
"We need to go to the hospital now...are you okay to drive? Do you want me to do it?" He asked. Yoongi had actually gotten his learners permit so if I was in the car with him he could drive. I nodded numbly.
"Can you drive us?" I asked quietly. He nodded as he got out of bed.
"Let go. Here, out these on." He said tossing me a pair of leggings as he grabbed a shirt. I quickly slid them on as I grabbed socks, grabbed my phone and hurried out of the room with Yoongi in my tail. We both quickly got ready before heading out the door and getting to the car. Yoongi drove quickly and safely to the hospital. We went it and when I got to the nurses station they all looked at me with sympathetic eyes. I knew that it was all to real.
"She's this way." Said one of the nurses softly before leading me down a few halls. She led me to a different room from what she had originally been in. When the door opened I saw her. She still looked like she was just sleeping, only a little bit paled. I slowly walked over to her body, my hands and knees trembling as I knelt next to her bed and gently took her cool hand in my hands. I didn't know I was crying until I couldn't see anymore and I could feel the wetness rubbing down my cheeks .
"I should have been here." I whispered through my tears.
"I should have been here, she shouldn't have had to die alone! I should have been here!" I sobbed. I felt a warm hand on my shoulder by I pushed it away.
"Get away from me!" I shrieked. I was distraught and heartbroken. My mother was gone. Gone forever. The woman who loved me. The woman who raised me! I was angry and hurt all at the same time. Yoongi didn't leave me.
"(Y/n)." He said softly.
"No! I was with you! I should have been with her!" I cried as I stood up angrily. I don't where the rage was coming from but all the emotions inside of me were exploding.
"Get out." I hissed at him. He took a step back from me with hurt in his eyes army sharp words. The nurse came over to him.
"You can come with me, Yoongi. Give her a few moments with her mom." Ushered the nurse as she gently led Yoongi out of the room. The moment he left I felt even worse. I had just yelled at my boyfriend, I felt mad at him but didn't know why. I just felt lost and broken. I sat on the floor as tears fell from my eyes. I suddenly felt a feeling of empty numbness wash over me as I stared blankly ahead. I stood up from the floor as the doctor walked in.
"What do I need to do now?" I asked.
"We have contacted you father and brother over in America. They said to tell you that they will be flying over tomorrow. Would you like to start funeral arrangements or would you like your father to handle it?" He asked.
"I can do it. Just tell me what you need from me." I replied blankly.
"I'll connect you with the funeral home. We will help take care of it for you. For now I think it might be best if you go back home and rest. We will make sure she is taken care of." He affirmed.
"Sir...what happened? She was just fine earlier this week. She had been recovering so well...". I trailed.
"Her brain relapsed. A blood vessel just gave way and burst. We tried to relieve the pressure to save her...but there was too much fluid in her skull." He explained and I nodded numbly.
"I understand. Thank you, doctor. I...I'll go back home. Please call me if you need anything else from me." I replied. He nodded solemnly as I walked out the door past him. I walked towards the nurses station to look for Yoongi. I was about to ask before the nurse spoke up.
"He's out waiting in the car. He wanted to give you some space." She informed me. I nodded.
"Thank you." I replied before heading out of the hospital to where we had parked the car. Yoongi was sitting in the drivers seat with his arms crossed over his head as he leaned against the steering wheel. I walked over and opened the passenger door and slip into the car next to him. He perked up and looked at me.
"We're going back home." I directed blankly. He didn't respond all he did was start the car and drive.
