kitten ¡! markbam

"guys, i need to tell you something," yugyeom called into the house as he held bambam's hand for as long as he would allow, which lasted longer than usual because he was nervous. bambam ears were flat against his head from under his hat as he cringed back at how loud yugyeom was.

"yug, who's that?" jackson asked as walked past the front door to get to the living room.

"i'll tell you when everyone is down here."

once everyone was sitting in the living room, yugyeom pulled bambam, who was still hiding behind him, to the center of the room.

"this is bambam. do you want to take your hat off to show them?" bambam nodded so yugyeom gently pulled the hat off to reveal his bright white ears which happened to match the bright white tail wrapped around his thigh. his ears beautifully contrasted with his black hair and they made his blue eyes pop.

"hello," bambam said quietly. he wanted to be polite even though he was shy.

"that's jackson, jinyoung, jaebum, youngjae, and mark," yugyeom told him to which bambam giggled. he muttered something about the three 'j' names that yugyeom happened to say in a row because they were sitting next to each other.

bambam shrieked and jumped up, landing in yugyeom's arms when a tiny dog started nipping at his ankles. youngjae stood up and grabbed coco so yugyeom could let go of the shaking bambam.

"sorry," youngjae apologized, ready to take coco to his room, but bambam reached his hand out to pet the tiny dog. "she's nice."

"she's cute."

"she gets excited around new people." bambam drew his hand back quickly when coco made another loud noise. "i'll take her to my room."

bambam jumped down from yugyeom's arms and stood next to him. "do you want to take a shower?"

yugyeom set bambam up in the bathroom with a towel and some clothes. sadly, the sweatpants would restrict his tail but it would have to do until the next day.

yugyeom was ready to explain to his friends once bambam was taking a shower.

"so, bam is a hybrid. he's my friend, i've known him for a while. and i just, as in like a half hour ago, helped get him out of a really bad relationship. so i'm going to let him stay here. he's also not usually this shy but he wants you guys to like him. he's more like a kitten than a cat, honestly." yugyeom ended with a chuckle as thought about how bambam usually behaved.

jaebum couldn't hide his excitement. his love of cats was triggered by bambam and he had absolutely no problem with him living with them.

the rest understood the situation and had no complaints because bambam was extremely cute.

"what happened in his relationship?" jinyoung asked, hearing the shower turn off but he hoped it would take bambam a little bit to get dressed.

"he treated bambam like a pet. made his wear a dumb collar with a bell all the time even thought it was nearly too tight. used him, sometimes abused him."

bambam's soft footsteps walked down the stairs. his old clothes were piled in his arms because he didn't know what to do with them. yugyeom grabbed them from him and quickly took them to the laundry room.

"thank you," bambam said when yugyeom got back.

"come on. you can sit down." the two sat between jinyoung and jaebum, bambam next to the eccentric cat lover.

"hello, i'm jaebum."

"why don't you introduce yourself, bam?"

"i'm bambam, i'm from thailand, my favorite color is blue, i'm 19 years old, and my favorite movie is the simpsons movie," he rambled off. jaebum smiled even brighter.

"i like the simpsons, too," he told bambam, his hand on youngjae's thigh incase his boyfriend got jealous from how much he seemed to like bambam.

"really? can watch it together?" jaebum nodded and told bambam he owns the movie and a lot of the seasons.

"you own them? do you work for the show." bambam tilted his head as his ears shot straight up so he could listen intently.

"no," jaebum chuckled. "i own the disk versions of them."

"that's so cool. i used to watch them on illegal sites. don't tell anyone, though. it's bad to do."

"do you want to tell them what you're okay with?" yugyeom asked bambam regarding his tail and ears.

"oh, please don't touch my tail. it makes me uncomfortable. you can touch my ears once i know you a bit more. i like to be scratched behind my ears."

"and under his chin," yugyeom said before he was scratching under bambam's chin, making him purr right away. his eyes started to flutter closed as he leaned into yugyeom's touch.

no one even realized mark was sitting on the other couch, completely captivated by how beautiful bambam was.

"where's he going to stay?" jinyoung asked.

"we have youngjae's old room. i can clean it out. it has a big bed and he'll be comfortable."

jinyoung grabbed yugyeom's hand. he was proud of his boyfriend for being so amazing to his friend in need.

"are you yugyeomie's boyfriend?" bambam asked jinyoung, looking at their hands. jinyoung nodded making bambam smile. "he talks about you a lot."

"bambam, let's go clean out your bedroom. tomorrow we can go get your stuff, okay?" bambam nodded and got up, following yugyeom to the bedroom. he didn't realize he made embarrassed yugyeom for making him seem too soft for jinyoung. "mark's room is next to yours but he's quiet so that shouldn't be a problem."

there wasn't much in the bedroom so it didn't take long to clean, which was good considering how tired bambam probably was. "you should go to bed and get some rest. tomorrow will be a great day."

yugyeom left the room as bambam curled up under the comforter. he felt bad for bambam. he had been through so much, even just in that day. that morning, his ex had finally snapped and nearly tried to killed bambam when he found yugyeom in their apartment.

yugyeom explained that was why bambam went to bed although it was only 8. jinyoung held yugyeom as he cried about the terrible things that had happened to his friend.

"thank you for letting him stay. i swear, he's really sweet and i think you'll all really like him."

jinyoung kissed the side of yugyeom's head and rubbed his arm. "let's go shower, baby. you've had a long day."
