Managing a cat

T W E N T Y O N E - The queen

"Allow him to stay"

• • • •

Even though this was the case– the smaller male couldn't help but to quietly sob at the horrid nightmare. The hybrid felt a throbbing headache, pulsating his whole body into a feverish heat– he shook his head, trying to get rid of it, even though he knew from experience that that wouldn't work in the end.

At least he wasn't alone this time.

Yoongi was still clamming his arms securely around his slightly shaking knees– his head buried in the cover with his ears peaking out.

What was he supposed to do? He wanted someone to talk to, in order to calm down... but he didn't wanna wake up the heavy sleeper beside him.

Before the older could dabble on the subject any longer— the door to the bedroom was flung open wide. In the light from the corridor outside, stood a slim figure... a figure which belonged to none other than Ms.Kim [the current queen].

Without any words– the regent took long striding steps towards the large bed and she quickly grabbed the hybrid by his arm.

"You don't belong here" she hissed as she dragged the small male out of the bed, his tiny frame shivering by the cold air in the room. The borrowed shirt did help, but the cat couldn't help but get a tingly feeling running over his exposed legs.

"Wh-what am I, where are you gonna take me?" Yoongi questioned, his eyes still visibly glossy from his previous nightmare.

–However, before the queen had time to explain herself, a low grunt was heard from the bed.

Taehyung sat himself up, rubbing his eyes tiredly– before they settled on the two people in front of him...

"What are you doing?" asked the prince with an utterly confused expression across his face, all the while he sat up straighter. The youngest noted quietly that Yoongi looked as if he'd been crying.

"Oh you can go back to sleep sweetheart, I'm just gonna take care of this flea" the taller's mother explained and the hybrid snapped is head up at the tall woman. Get rid of him?

"Wh-what?" Asked Yoongi with a lump in his throat and a knot tying itself in his stomach. The queen couldn't continue before her son interrupted loudly-

"WHAT?" said person yelled out, rushing to his Kitten's side.

"You heard me" stated the female before glancing to the small male with an almost viscous glare in her eyes.

"You can't, I won't allow it!" Tae argued, taking a steady grip around Yoongi's waist and pulling the smaller male close.

"Tae sweetie~ I'm the queen, I do what I want. You have to understand that you simply cannot be seen together with such a hideous creature" the prince's mother muttered, as if it was an obvious fact.

Taehyung stared at his parent in disbelief as she stood there— he searched for some sort of sign, as if she was actually just joking with him but she was standing there... deadly serious.

"I won't let him go" Tae said firmly and then physically showed that he had a good grip around the shifter, by lightly squeezing the other in his arms.

"I nor your father will allow him to stay inside this castle any longer" the queen stated, now growing a lot more agitated by her son's seemingly surprising behaviour.

"T-Tae... I should just-" "Then I'll leave with him!" Yoongi was interrupted by the young prince, whom made him completely baffled in a matter of mere seconds...

"Tae! You can't leave this place" the hybrid mumbled nervously, but the taller boy stood his ground— his eyes trained on the dark eyes of his mother.

—After a few minutes of the two royals having somewhat of a staring contest, the queen took a heavy breath which made the fact that she was a lot more emotional than she let on evident.

"Tae, you're my son, the second prince... you can't possibly think that you can just leave?" She questioned, but only got a short yes in response.

"But-"

"No, I'll give up my title as the second prince" Taehyung spoke quietly with an unreadable tone, the atmosphere thickening by the second.

"Taetae..." Yoongi whispered softly to the younger and the prince faced him, moving for the first time in quite a long time. "Yes Kitten?" He asked and the hybrid scratched the nape of his neck nervously, before he shifted his eyes to meet the other's.

"You shouldn't give it up- I'll leave, I've never been needed here anyw-"

"No, don't say that! You're absolutely more than anything else to me... I know it might be selfish, but I could never let you leave me" Taehyung explained while he softly rubbed his thumbs over the shorter's hip, where his hand rested.

"I wouldn't work without you" Taehyung whispered out into the air while the queen stood a bit further away, stumped by the whole play happening in front of her.

"Thank you so much Tae, I really mean it when I say that you saved me..."

The younger male couldn't speak up this time. The hybrid had never been the kind of person to put his feelings into words— yet now he had.

"I-I can't believe how many things I've gotten to see since I've met you, you've showed me so much, all the great things in life~ thank you for that"

The prince once again only stood in his place–his thoughts mutating into a big pile in his mind, everything felt as if it was happening in lightning speed. The tall male fumbled with the hem of his worn shirt...

"Let's leave Yoongi! Now!" Taehyung said, now almost excited by his own words.
