Life As The Pet Of An Alien

Chapter 7

Jungkook sat outside the front of Jimin's cave trying to coax the little human out. He'd been pouting their for the last two hours after his friends left. Jungkook knew from stories and the manual that humans needed a lot of physical affection and attention and after being taken so suddenly out of a place that provided that twenty four seven Jungkook could understand that he would get a little depressed. That's why he was trying to get Jimin to come out so that he could play with him a bit and maybe even cuddle if the human wanted to. 

He'd tried everything to get him out from food when it was lunch time to even attempting tickling him again. But that only lasted a few minutes before he was sulking again. Jungkook was getting desperate. He'd heard a rumor that humans could die from depression and loneliness but he wasn't sure if that was true or not and he couldn't find anything about it in the manual but he wasn't willing to take that chance.

Jungkook was know attempting to do the last thing he could think of. He was searching through the language translation section in the manual for something to tell him to get him out. It had worked earlier so hopefully it would work now. When Jungkook finally found the word he was looking for he mumbled the word to himself a few times before saying it as best he could loud enough for the human to hear.

"Jimin Kumee." Jungkook said hoping his pronunciation was right. But he figured he was way off when the human just looked at him in confusion. Jungkook tried again.

"Jimin cumee?" He said phrasing it more like a question looking hard at the book. Jimin recognizing the book from earlier crawled out his cave to the sitting Jungkook and looked over his shoulder at the page. Jungkook tilted it towards him so he could see better pointing at the word. Though most the page was in a language Jimin had never seen before the ones that mattered were written in his language. He looked at the word Jungkook was pointing at and tilted his head remembering his own past reading lessons. Though most humans knew how to read and write they didn't use it often so sometimes it took him a while to remember.

"Come?" Jimin said pronouncing the word for Jungkook. Jungkook repeated the word to himself a few times putting it to memory. When he finally got it Jimin smiled at him excitedly and started to flip through the pages of the book wanting to teach Jungkook more words. If he knew enough maybe they could have conversations together! Jimin would love someone to talk to when his brothers were gone (Yes, Jimin, Taehyung, and Hoseok had already switch to calling each other brothers instead of just cousins.)

Jungkook looked over at the book with Jimin jumping on the opportunity to do something with the human he seemed interested in. Jungkook had finally found something that got the boy out the cave so he was just going to roll with it. Jungkook point to a particular word on the page wanting Jimin to teach it to him for later use.

"Food." Jimin said Looking up at Jungkook with a smile encouraging him to try saying it himself.

"Fuda?"

"F-o-o-d." Jimin repeated more slowly.

"F-o-o-d, food?" Jungkook said getting it on his second try. Jimin was bouncing up and down in happiness at his success. He wrapped his arms around Jungkook's neck before nuzzling into it with his face. An action that was done to all little kids when they got a question right during lessons. Jungkook felt himself blush and preen under the praise. Rubbing his neck shyly. He suddenly had the urge to show Jimin he could learn ever word in the book and maybe even more later on.

They did a few more words together and Jungkook learned how to say 'sleepy', 'let's play', 'I want', 'water' and 'I don't like'. He felt those were probably the most important or now to be able to understand for Jimin's needs. Jimin at some point had decided that sitting next to Jungkook wasn't close enough so he'd eventual climbed his way in Jungkook's lap holding the book in his hands for them both to see. This would n't have been such a big deal for Jungkook if Jimin wasn't still naked. 

He could ignore it before but not when Jimin was literally placed directly in his lap. He didn't push the boy off though because Jimin seem very content and comfortable right where he was and didn't look like he was going to move anytime soon. It was also done in all innocence. Jimin would probably be confused if he pushed him away. Never having to have to cover up in front of anyone before.

After a little longer of making sure Jungkook had the words they'd already been over down and going over a couple more Jimin was starting to get droopy eyed. When he stared to yawn Jungkook looked out the cage to the clock on the was on the wall. He hadn't realized it gotten so late. He turned back to look at the human before him who was currently leaning heavily against his chest.

"Sleepy?" Jungkook said with a smile already knowing the answer. Jimin nodded anyways though closing his eyes a bit as he leaned against Jungkook. Jungkook licked his lips in concentration for what he was about to say next.

"Me you sleepy together?" Jungkook realized his grammar wasn't the best but thankfully his point seem clear enough because Jimin gave him a closed eye smile as he nodded yes. Lifting himself off of Jungkook and starting his way back into the cave, but Jungkook gently stopped him with a hand on his arm and a shake of his head. Jungkook pointed to the sofa on the other side of the glass cage. Jimin seem confused for just a second before realization covered his face. His face scrunched up in uncertainty. He didn't know if he'd like sleep in something that wasn't remotely like what he was use to, but he eventually still nodded his head the thought of sleeping alone worse then sleeping in that room.

Jungkook smiled at that. He couldn't take Jimin to the bed because the change of hardness to extreme softness would probably mess up his back but the sofa was more decorative the comfortable so it was probably hard enough to be okay but not so much that Jungkook would be aching too much in the morning like he would sleeping on stone. Jungkook stood lifting the tired human up in his arms with no complaints. In fact Jimin wrapped his arms around Jungkook's neck rubbing into it a bit while his eyes started to close already half way to dream land.

Jungkook almost broke down in cooes at the sight. He had the feeling he'd probably be spoiling his human a lot from now on. The boy was just too adorable to deny anything. On the way to the sofa Jungkook grabbed a small thin blanket with his tail to give the two at least some coverage. He laid down first placing Jimin on top of his chest afterwards. Jimin snuggled into Jungkook's chest once the two were settled and the blanket on top of them. Jungkook felt his breath hitch when Jimin continued to snuggle and rub unconsciously against him. He looks down at the adorable face below his chin using his scaly tail to push his bangs back. Watching as Jimin's small fingers held onto it gently holding it to his chest like a child would to a teddy bear.

Jungkook had a feeling he wouldn't be getting much sleep tonight.
