Homosaurus

9

"Welcome back Youngjae." Jinyoung greeted as the hybrid entered the lab with a group of other scientists with him. They had him on a leash, allowing him freedom once he was safely in the lab walls.

Youngjae replied with a deep growl, glaring his glowing eyes at Jinyoung. "I don't like getting baths."

"You gotta get clean somehow." Jinyoung replied.

"I can lick myself clean."

Jinyoung made a face of disgust. "Okay, firstly you're not a cat, you can't even reach everywhere with your tongue no matter how long it is. Two, everyone bathes, it's apart of good hygiene."

"Well I don't-" Youngjae paused mid sentence, his nose pointing in the air. He took in a few sniffs, his eyes darting around the room. "I can smell him."

"Who?" Jinyoung asked.

Youngjae spun around in circles, looking all over the place for the owner of that familiar smell. "He was here."

"Who was here, Youngjae?" Jinyoung asked, a small smile resting on his face as the hybrid frantically searched the area.

"Jaebum. He came. I smell him." Youngjae responded. He looked to Jinyoung for help, knowing that his nose wasn't mistaken.

Jinyoung hummed, rubbing his chin. "Oh right, Jaebum came to see you earlier..."

The hybrid's eyes widened with excitement, he began looking around again. "Where is he? And... why haven't you put me back in the cage yet?"

"Because I'm changing things around here, Youngjae."

Youngjae's eyes looked past Jinyoung to where the voice originated from, a small gasp escaping him as Jaebum popped out from behind a large fixture of shelves. His lips spread to show off his sharp, surprisingly white, set of teeth. "Jaebum!"

Jaebum outstretched his arms for the hybrid that practically tackled him to the ground, giggling as his chest was suddenly occupied by Youngjae's head. "Hey, I missed you a ton~"

"What do you mean you're changing things?" Youngjae purred out as he received steady head scratches.

"I mean from now on, you're gonna be seeing less of that cage, a lot more of me, and having a lot more fun." Jaebum replied.

Youngjae sat up, his jaw hanging open. "Really!? I'll see you everyday now?"

"Even on the weekends, I can't stand not seeing you." Jaebum replied. He knew his upcoming days were gonna be clouded by nothing but Youngjae, even when they were apart, Jaebum wouldn't be able to keep his mind off of him.

Youngjae smiled at him, burying his face in Jaebum's chest yet again. He was so excited that he was drooling, which was a bit disgusting, but cute in its own way.

"He's like a human sized puppy." Jinyoung stated, the scientist watching their exchange from a few feet away.

"He's so cute, I wanna squish his face." Jaebum cooed, his hand already on its way to Youngjae's cheeks.

Youngjae pulled back, giving a curt shake of his head. "No. Don't do that."

Jaebum's hand retreated, resting at his side. "Oh okay. Noted."

Jinyoung cleared his throat loudly to draw the two's attention. "Alright enough affection, you two should get to work."

"Work?" Youngjae questioned.
