Gifts

We arrived at the shopping center, the awkward and tense aura surrounding the trio of us.

Ever since we've got out of the car, I've felt Taehyung's hard stare at my back. And I know exactly what he's thinking of, the situation between me and my first love, Yoongi.

As we walked in, Taehyung threw his hood on immediately and kept his gaze low. His tail had also gone out of sight.

Summer had noticed as well and threw him a questioning look, of course going to open her mouth about the situation. "Why'd you put them away?" she asked, genuinely curious without reading the room.

Then it hit me, the answer obvious in the air, but of course, with how slow she was she didn't even know how sensitive that topic can be. Especially to him.

"Since I don't have a collar or an owner, it would be a hassle to walk around without being attacked or taken to a center..." His voice was low but clear enough for us to hear.

"Then would you like one of us to adopt you?" She spat, not even recognizing the fact that we don't know this man. She seemed to cause an even tenser aura, making me scrunch my nose and break this.

I wrapped my arm around Taehyung's and smiled up at him whispering in his ear discreetly, "You don't have to make a decision now. Take your time." he smiled back, feeling the aura around us get less tense.

Since he was a hybrid and since everything was so much more enhanced, I could feel when he was uncomfortable or sad by just the way his energy came off. I also think it's because, in the hybrid world, he's a very dominant animal. Or so I think.

I eyed summer, seeing her look down and her lip twitch after the slip-up.

She whispered a squeaky and shallow, "Sorry" before turning around towards the shopping center.

Taehyung seemed unbothered, and for some reason, kept close to me the whole trip.

I saw other humans with hybrids as pets, eyeing Taehyung knowing he was a hybrid as well by his scent. They were probably curious as to why he was hiding his hybrid features.

Either way, I'll keep him safe when he's in my presence.

When we came home, we had plenty of bags full of clothes and my things from the apartment.

And no, I'm not rich at all. But with the help of Yoongi's rent money, I was able to provide Taehyung whatever he desired. Though while shopping he didn't say much, I could tell what he wanted by the way he stared at things so intensely. I thought it was absolutely adorable.

I decided that tonight it was my turn to make dinner, and somehow talk to Taehyung about where he would like to go from here on out. I don't want him to be on the streets, but I want him to choose what he thinks is best for him.

I haven't known him long, but I do care about him enough to hope for the best when he makes his personal decision.

While walking up to the kitchen, I wondered what would Taehyung like, as a hybrid.

I quickly turned around to see him sitting on the couch spread out, watching TV. "Honey," I called, and his ears perked up immediately. He turned around and his dark brown eyes turned into a beautiful mix of yellow, green, and brown. It almost made me trip at how beautiful it was to watch.

"What's your favorite food?" I asked, kneeling in front of him. I watched as his eyes faded back to brown in thought. "Hmm... I like raw fish a lot..." as he said what he liked, his voice got quieter.

"Don't be afraid to tell me what you want. I want to help you out, honey." I cracked a smile at him and faintly giggled. I can't wait for him to open up to me.

"Okay." He replied, making my heart flutter. "Well, I actually have a raw fish in the fridge. Would you like that for dinner?" I started to get up, brushing myself off just to look at a very bright Taehyung.

"Yes please!!!" He sprung up and hugged me, running right to the dinner table after the tight squeeze.

I walked up to the fridge and took out the large fish. Lord knows why summer would have this in her fridge, but knowing her she doesn't care if I gave it to him anyway.

I cleaned and prepared the fish for Taehyung, giving him a freshly prepared, raw fish.

Though that was weird to think about, as long as he was happy, I was as well.

He quickly chowed down the food, food surprisingly not flying all over the place. Though he seemed to live on the streets before, he did surprisingly have table etiquette.

I smiled and went back to the kitchen, simply making some spaghetti for me and Summer. She loved my spaghetti so I was delighted to give her some as my treat.

I made two bowls of spaghetti for me and summer and put them on a tray. She was busy with work in her room so she was going to eat in there.

Again, right when I turned around, I crashed into a large chest. But this time, I was pulled into a tight embrace. When I inhaled, I smelled a very strong masculine scent that was clearly to be known as Taehyung's. I felt him creep closer to my neck, rubbing his cheek and placing small tiny licks on my neck.

At first, I was very, very surprised but at the same time, It felt and came naturally. I raised my hands and started to scratch his dark ears, making him purr against my skin in pleasure. As I scratched harder and ran my fingers through his dark hair, I felt him go weak over me.

I felt him breathe harder on my neck, lowering his arms down to my waist.

"Violet, please keep me."
