Homosaurus

16

Jaebum had to make some quick accommodations for Youngjae, delegating him a pair of his own sleepwear and an extra toothbrush for the night. He figured that he'd go out and purchase more needed items the next day, but for now he had to scour his apartment for an extra pair of everything.

As he was in the bathroom sorting things out, Youngjae stood in the door frame watching him, eyes watching every meticulous move he made.

"Jaebum, I have a question." He suddenly stated.

"Shoot." Jaebum responded while focused on folding and adjusting the towels that hung on the wall.

"It's about you, sort of..." The hybrid trailed off, hesitant to just blurt out whatever was on his mind. 

Jaebum hummed, not thinking much of it. "I can answer it."

"Do you ever go through a reproductive cycle?"

Jaebum paused, his head turning toward the hybrid. "A what? What do you mean?"

"You're fully human right? As a human, do you go through a certain amount of time where you feel the need to mate or breed?" The other male clarified, eyes filled with genuine curiosity as he gazed at Jaebum.

He thought on it for a moment, brows furrowed as he tried to figure out exactly what he'd been asked. "You mean like... a heat?"

"I don't know what it's called. I think I heard cats do it though." Youngjae replied with a shrug.

"Oh, yeah, a heat." Jaebum answered.

Youngjae's eyes widened with interest. "So, you do go through that?"

"No, no, I was just telling you that you can call it a heat. There's a more scientific name for it, but no need to get complicated, just call it a heat." Jaebum explained, glancing up in the large mirror only to be met with his slightly rose colored face. The question was unexpected but, he could understand why Youngjae was curious."And to answer the question, no I don't go through it."

"Oh..." The hybrid trailed off, eyes falling to his feet.

Jaebum went back to fixing up the towels, his own curiosities brewing in his head now that Youngjae had brought up the subject. "...What about you?"

"I... don't know..." the hybrid shrugged again.

Jaebum hummed, nodding at the honest answer. "Well that's okay. You're the only kind of your species, I don't expect you to know everything about yourself."

Youngjae softly kicked his feet, still thinking on the topic. He perked up when he found something he could share about himself. "I am erect 90% of the time though, if that helps?"

Jaebum froze again, this time whipping his head around in shock. Youngjae stared back at him with an unwavering gaze; he wasn't even sure if the hybrid knew that sharing that kind of information was a bit TMI. "Um... thanks for letting me know, but it doesn't get uncomfortable?"

Youngjae carelessly shrugged. "I'm used to it."

"Oh..." Jaebum slowly nodded, not even realizing that his gaze drifted from Youngjae's face down to pants. He narrowed his eyes at a lump in the hybrid's sweatpants that looked awfully suspicious, but it was hard to tell if it were just a wrinkle due to the bagginess of the bottoms or if it were actually Youngjae poking through the fabric. He couldn't help but wonder; was he aroused right now?

"Don't try to look at it." Youngjae's voice snapped Jaebum out of his distracted staring.

"No I wasn't-!" Jaebum cleared his throat, quickly turning his burning face away. Of course the hybrid noticed him staring right at his crotch, he didn't really put any effort into making it discreet anyway. "I was just curious..."
