cat fight - nct, markhyuck

^.^ 22 ^.^

"is haechan okay?" hina asked, pointing at the white cat that was limping towards the armchair.

mark had invited her over for the afternoon. renjun was supposed to be back from china the next day, so he wanted to enjoy his last day alone in the house by inviting hina over and having a chill afternoon.

"yeah, he's just sad. i guess he misses renjun. that's all." mark shrugged, concentrating back on the movie they were watching.

in fact, he knew perfectly what was wrong with his cat.

he had tried telling donghyuck that he didn't see him as a monster. he had even explained to him that he saw him as a friend because he was partly human. but donghyuck was still imagining mark was being sympathetic. for him, hybrids were monsters, just as jisung had said. he had seen all the pictures jisung had shown, all those monsters. so, this was how he would be seen in the society? well, he would never let anyone else than mark discover his existence then, that's for sure.

at least, mark had treated him right, not as a monster. he was a bit harsh at the beginning because he didn't like cats, but now, he took good care of donghyuck. and, yeah... donghyuck had caught feelings for mark. he was sure of it now. but hearing what jisung had told mark the day before had made him understand that mark and him would never be a thing... sad. mark would probably end up married to hina, with children and a dog, because mark hates cats. this way, donghyuck will disappear from their lives. oh... how much he hated hina...

"are you sure we shouldn't do something for him?" the girl asked, looking at the sad cat who was failing to jump on the armchair.

mark shrugged.

hina rose to her feet and tried picking the cat up to put it on the armchair, but haechan hissed at her, showing his teeth.

"hey! donghyuck!" mark looked at the cat dead in the eye. "she's trying to be nice."

and with that, the cat let himself being carried.

instead of being put on the armchair, hina sat back on the sofa, next to mark, with the cat on her lap. the cat meowed in discontent because he was taken away from his armchair to be sat on a girl he hated.

as soon as hina plopped down, haechan jumped off her lap to settle comfortably on mark's, earning a whine from the girl.

"can you put it back on me?" she asked with puppy eyes.

mark nodded before carrying the cat who had dug his claws inside mark's trousers to stay in place.

"donghyuck." mark shook the cat. "let go."

after a second, the cat let go and was sat on hina's lap.

he stayed there, flinching every time the girl's hand would caress his back, and often checking the position the two humans were in. he didn't care about the film, he just wanted to be with mark, but the human had other plans.

fortunately, hina and mark weren't seated too close to each other. but, sadly, this didn't last.

when haechan turned around for the fifth time, mark was circling his arm around hina's shoulder and getting closer to her, to the point their thighs were touching. haechan dug his claws in hina's thighs at the view, making the girl squeak. wrong move. mark pushed the cat on his lap – which was good for haechan – but he did that to caress hina's thighs.

haechan looked sadly at mark's hands that were shyly caressing hina's thighs, both of the human's eyes focused on the tv. it was as if haechan wasn't in the room.

after a moment, mark stopped caressing her thighs, making haechan smile, hoping mark would caress his back instead, but to his dismay, the human reached for hina's hand.

hina voluntarily intertwined their fingers, making haechan want to puke.

not wanting them to go further, haechan snuggled in between them, trying to separate their hands, which he didn't manage to do because mark pushed him away from the couch.

he rose to his feet, picking the cat in his arms and turned towards hina.

"i'm very sorry, but can you excuse us a second?" he asked with a blush.

hina nodded. "do you want me to pause the film?"

"no, it's okay, i already watched it twice."

mark then walked to the kitched, grabbing a bottle of milk and finally to his room where he locked the door and threw haechan on the bed.

he poured a bit of milk in the cap of the bottle and made haechan drink. donghyuck appeared seconds after, sitting crossed legs on the bed.

"what the hell is your problem?!" mark whisper-yelled at the hybrid.

the cat-person didn't answer.

"donghyuck. i want an answer. why can't you be a bit sympathetic with hina? why can't you let me live my life calmly?"

donghyuck kept his mouth shut.

mark gripped his jaw with his hand and dangerously approached their faces.

"answer me!"

"no." donghyuck replied simply.

"you are a pain in the ass, you know that?"

"yes, i'm aware. you've been repeating this since the first day i'm here." donghyuck said, eyes getting teary.

"excuse me, i never asked for a cat to barge into my life." mark spat.

"neither did i ask to be a monster!" donghyuck raised his voice.

mark didn't reply.

"go back to your girlfriend. she's going to suspect something." donghyuck said, turning his back to mark. "and don't come back to me. i'm just a useless monster that was never meant to be anyways. what i feel doesn't matter."

mark looked one last time at the hybrid's back, seeing his tail and his ears falling down in disappointment, and his shoulders slumping because of his muffled sobs. he didn't try to comfort him. he just left the room to get back to hina. donghyuck was just a cat. hina was his future girlfriend. if he needed to keep one of the two, it was hina.

"mark?" hina asked when he sat next to her.

he hummed, thinking about the cat he just left sobbing in his room.

"who is donhyuck?"

mark looked at her with wide eyes. "n-nobody."

"why did you call haechan 'donghyuck' then?" she asked. "did you change his name?"

"oh..." mark thought for a second. "well... this cat was a pain in the ass... and as 'dong' means 'shit'... you know?" mark raised a brow. "and for hyuck... i didn't feel like calling my cat 'shit', that would have been inappropriate."

hina looked at him before bursting out laughing. "you really are one of a kind..."
