Neko: My Kitten

12-I'll stay by your side, Will you stay in the same place as me?

Felix and Chan arrived at the shopping mall (feels like shoppingg malll- where my aghases at lmao), the hybrid was bouncing in his seat as Chan parked the car.

"Let's go kitten" Chan winked at the younger before getting out the car and open his door for him.

Felix slowly came out the car, now becoming a little nervous as he saw other people and hybrids around. He clenched onto Chan's arm, hiding behind him as they walked to the entrance.

Chan noticed and stopped them before they went in.

"Kitten, it's gonna be ok. I'm here, no one will hurt you. You deserve to be here just as everyone else, ok?"

Felix let out a small meow before nodding, holding Chan's hand still as the older led him in.
He had been to a few shopping places before, but nothing like this mall. It was a luxury shopping mall with many expensive brand stores.

As soon as they walked in, Felix stopped in his tracks to look around at how expensive everything looked.

"T-this place is huge! And expensive...." he said timidly as he turned to Chan.

"Yes it is, and it's perfect for you" Chan smiled as he petted Felix's ears.

"Come on, let's go spoil you Princess~ " he said as he slipped his hand down Felix's waist, pulling him close to his body.

Felix liked how close chan was, but he also had to remember to keep calm as they were in public as well.

Chan lead the way as he brought them to a few stores for Felix to look around. Along the way, Felix was in awe of all the pretty stores and how many people were shopping. They finally reached a store that Chan thought would be perfect for the hybrid.

"Let's go in here kitten"  he pulled him into a fancy store with a chandelier. It pretty much had all sorts of clothes, lounge, formal, casual.

"Go on and look around, I'll be right here" Chan said as he sat on the leather couch in the store.

"O-ok Channie" Felix smiled before walking around to look. He came around a section that had a few shorts and joggers, picking some items. Then a causal section to pick up some jeans and a few tops and sweaters. He walked a little further down, coming across the female section. Felix never had a preference on clothes, so he wore whatever was comfortable to him.

He inched closer, seeing a few soft skirts and fluffy cashmere sweaters. He wasn't sure if Chan would mind, but he would ask. Picking up a skirt and two more sweaters, he had a large pile of clothes. He scurried back to Chan, ready to show him what he picked out.

"Channie look!"

"I see you found some things kitten" he smiled standing up to come closer to Felix.

"Ya! Can I go try them on?"

"Well of course cutie, that's why we're here" he joked as he took the pile from Felix to hold, and grabbing his hand with his other free one to walk to the fitting room.

"Excuse me, can he try these on please?" Chan said to the attendant before she turned around.

"Oh of course he-" she had stopped midway, as she stared at Chan, then at Felix.
The hybrid of course knew it was because of his eye, so he quickly covered it with his hand.
Chan wasn't happy about that. He let go of Felix's hand he was holding to pull his other one down.

"Lix, what have I told you about doing that?" He said sternly. Felix just looked down and stayed quiet. Chan was now annoyed that the attendant upset the younger.

He let out as exasperated sigh before speaking to her.

"Look, can we get a room?" He said angrily.

The attendant realized Chan was talking to her, directed her attention back at him.

"Um, yes. That one is open" she quietly gestured to the large open room behind.

"Thanks, and I'd suggest you don't stare at people, nor hybrids for that matter. It's rude" he said with a death tone as he glared at her.

"Come on Lix" he grabbed the boy's hand pulling him into the fitting room. Chan closed the door before setting the clothes down on the bench, but he didn't expect Felix to be crying when he turned around.

"Princess? What's wrong?" He reached his hand to cup Felix's cheek, pulling him close by the waist with his other.

"I-I'm sorry...." Felix sniffled as he tried to look down.

"Kitten, there's nothing to be sorry for. Why are you upset? Is it because of that lady?" He asked worriedly.

Felix nodded.

"I- I know you told me not to cover it... but I feel bad... that when I'm with you.. people will see it... I don't want to disgrace you...." he sniffled.

Chan's heart dropped at that, he didn't realize the younger was that insecure about his eye, that he was worried about looking bad around him.

"Felix...."

Chan pulled him into a tight hug.
"Kitten, you would never disgrace me or anything like that" He whispered to the boy before lifting his head up to look at him.

"I brought you out here because I want people to see you. I want them to see your beautiful eye that's different and just like mine. I want the world to know that you're just like any other hybrid, my hybrid".

"R-really?"

"Yes kitten. Just like I told you before, your eye is beautiful just like your other one. Just like your nose, your freckles, your smile. Everything about you is perfect and special" he gave a soft smile as he gazed into the younger's eyes.

Felix felt better in an instant hearing Chan's touching words.

"T-thank you Channie... that means so much..." he smiled finally.

"That's what I wanna see, only smiles on my cute kitty" he kissed Felix's nose. The younger giggled and began to blush.

*meow*

"O-ok Channie.... you wanna help me choose my outfits?" He twirled his tail around again.

"Of course princess, I'm sure you'll look cute in all of them" Chan smiled as he sat in a chair, the fitting room was large so they had plenty of room to move around.

Felix turned red again hearing Chan call him princess, he always loved the praise and pet names the older gave him. He was a little shy of showing his body to Chan, but he knew as his new owner sooner or later he would see his skin somehow.

Felix slipped off the joggers, leaving him in boxers as he grabbed the jeans to try on. Chan quietly watched, trying to keep himself calm.

Stay calm Chan... he's just changing...

Felix tried not to think about Chan watching him, trying to avoid the issue he had in the closet that morning. Once he slipped on the jeans, they were a perfect fit.

"I think these are perfect Channie!" He looked in the mirror and then at the older.

"Ya? You can get them then" he smiled back.

"Ok!" Felix meowed as he went to reach for a t-shirt to try on. He was a bit apprehensive as he reached slowly to pick it up. He stared at it and held it in his hand before putting it on the hanger next to him.
He dreaded what he had to do next, he had to take off his sweater. With Chan sitting behind him and watching, he was afraid of the older seeing what he tried keeping a secret for as long as he could.

He let out a deep breathe before grabbing the hem of his sweater to pull up slowly, finally pulling it over his head, baring his skin shirtless on full view for Chan to see.

And that's when he saw it.

"Felix.... your-"

That's what I was afraid of..... was all the hybrid thought.
