Life As The Pet Of An Alien

Chapter 8

When Jungkook first woke and didn't feel the weight of Jimin resting on his chest 1,001 of the worst possibilities as to why went through his head. Thankfully though he calmed immediately after when he realized there was small little fingers running through his hair and a soft tone being hummed right by his head. When Jimin had woke up a little bit of an hour earlier he hadn't wanted to disturb Jungkook's sleep just because he was hungry. So he opted for just resting Jungkook's head in his lap while he put small braids randomly through out his hair.

Something that was a common pass time of his and his siblings when it was winter time and they were all huddled up in the cave until it passed. Having packed months worth of food in with them as well as lodes of knew animals skins and fire wood for warmth. During times like that they generally slept as far back into the cave as possible sleeping with their clothes on for once and in bigger piles than before.

Jimin's was drawn out his thoughts when he noticed that Jungkook was awake and watching him with a fond smile. Jimin just titled his head cutely and went back to braiding the aliens black hair. 

"Good morning." Jimin said softly and though Jungkook might not know exactly what that meant he could guess pretty easily so he responded the best he could.

"Good morning." He said proud of himself for getting that right on his first try. Jimin seemed to be proud too because he gave Jungkook a big smile rubbed his nose against Jungkook's. Jungkook was too taken aback to return the gesture but Jimin didn't seem to mind because he went right back to braiding Jungkook's hair like nothing happen. Humming a song Jungkook had never heard before. Which made since he knew dancing and sing were a common pass time for humans obviously they wouldn't have the type of music Jungkook was used to. But it was still nice and gave Jungkook a sense of calm.

They sat like that for the next hour Jimin doing and undoing the strange twists in Jungkook's hair. He was really enjoying the feel of those small fingers running over his scalp so gently. Undoing tangles and rubbing soothingly over his head here and there. Jungkook could get use to waking up like this. They only finally got up when the two of them couldn't ignore their hunger any more. After a nice fruity meal for Jimin and non earth raw meat for Jungkook, Jungkook was honestly tempted to go lay bay down with Jimin and return to what they were doing. But he knew he should probably get up and ready for the day.

He actually had work that morning. Thankfully though when you buy a human by law you have the right to take them to any establishment with you for the first three years and even longer in some cases because of humans need for attention and affection. Jungkook work along side his friends in an office. They worked in the same department of financing and budgeting for various companies, countries, and even sometimes small planets. They had their own shared private office which meant that they could keep their humans next to them and not have to worry about bothering anyone else work. Though even if they did bother some else no body would dare speak up against them. Their role in the company was they most important to a lot of powerful people that would not stand for them to come to any inconvenience.

Jungkook got ready while Jimin went off to climb a few trees noticing he was busy. Once Jungkook was all cleaned up and ready to go he went back to the glass cage to start getting Jimin ready. When he got there Jimin was already high up in a trees smiling down at him and waving while he rested on a branch. Jungkook smiled back before shouting up to him.

"Come Jimin!" He said and Jimin started his immediate decent down quickly making his way back to his new friend. Jungkook rubbed the top of Jimin's head in praise for his good behavior not that Jimin realized that though he did nuzzle up into the touch. Talking Jungkook's hand in his own simply wanting to hold it. Jungkook noticed that Jimin's hands were slightly sticky meaning he was probably eating more fruit up in the tree. Instead of getting disgusted at the feeling like he would with most other people it only made him smile in amusement at Jimin's child-like behavior.

He guided Jimin out the cage and sat him down on the sofa in front of himself and assessed Jimin's current condition. His hair was wild and a mess from sleeping on the ground. He still had small residue of paint here and there on his body that the adoption agency must have missed. He was covered in stick fruit juice all over his mouth and hands. Oh and he was completely naked with nothing to were but a pair of tiny grey shorts and pair of boots. But yet Jungkook couldn't help but think that he looked perfect. He'd still to make a few changes though if they were going into public. 

The first thing he decided to do was give the little human a bath and shampoo his hair. Which thankfully Jimin did not put up a fuss over. Too entranced by the warm water coming out the shower cap. He kept turning it one in off and Jungkook thought he heard him mumble something that sounded like 'mini rain' whatever that meant. It was cute though and Jungkook couldn't bring himself to make Jimin stop. He just focused on getting jImin clean while the boy played.

Once they were down Jungkook dried Jimin off with surprising difficulty. They boy kept squirming and laughing trying to get away from the ticklish sensation. Which only made Jungkook purposefully tickle him more. They spent way more time then they should have in the bathroom and were most definitely going to be late. But Jungkook couldn't bring himself to care it's not like they were going to fire him and if he really missed too much work he'd just stay a little later or take the work home to make up for lost time. He valued his bonding time with Jimin more than his non tardy record at work.

Next Jungkook considered styling Jimin's wild hair but opted against it when he realized how endearing he looked with it all messy. Plus from the way Jimin looked at the brush he probably wouldn't let Jungkook come close to him with it anyways. Jimin having mistaken the silicon hair brush for a weapon with numerous spikes on it. So Jungkook was faced with his final problem. Jimin was still naked and no clothes to use. He decided to just put the shorts and boots Jimin already had on him along with one of Jungkook's grey shirts so he at least kinda matched, but Jimin seemed very uncomfortable with the cotton material of the clothing often picking at it wishing for the familiar touch of fur on his body instead.

Jungkook would take him to a human pet store later that day with his friends and their pets. They'd get the humans some more comfortable fur clothing, toys and food for them. By the time Jungkook and Jimin were finally ready to leave Jungkook was twenty minutes late for work and had several miss calls from his friends and even a few texts. Which he didn't bother checking or answering he'd see them in a few minutes anyways. 

Jungkook took Jimin's hand in his in a firm but soft grip the small fear of Jimin trying to run away when he open the door in the back of his head. Of course though Jimin didn't. He wouldn't have a place to run too even if he did. He as well as his new brothers had expected their fates the day before. Talking it through with each other coming to the same conclusion to just try and find some semblance of home in this strange new place. that's home they lived anyways as they were nomads and had no physical place to call home. Their home was were family was and sadly that home was no longer here. Who they'd have to make a new one.

Jungkook put Jimin in the back seat of the car so head have more room to move around. He knew Jimin probably wouldn't like having to be strapped down by a seatbelt but Jungkook was unwilling to let him ride shotgun if he wasn't. So the only alternative was to put Jimin in the back. He turned around to face the boy who was energetically looking and touching everything around himself having been asleep the first time in the car he couldn't before.

"Ready?" Jungkook asked using another human word he'd manage to learn on his own that morning. Jimin nodded excitedly at that holding on tightly to the seat but not putting on the belt. He like everyone else heard stories growing up about vehicles like this one and he was kinda expecting it to go really fast. His mind drifted off to Taehyung and Hoseok for a second wondering if they were riding one of these things? He felt a sudden worry for Hoseok if they were. From what he gather from the man he didn't think that Hoseok what like going so fast so suddenly. He hoped he didn't get sick.

Jungkook unaware of Jimin's thought turned back to the steering wheel and began their journey of starting their second day together.
