Jeno hesitated to knock on Jaemin's door as he stands outside at the hallway at 7 am in the morning. He bites his lip as he just stood there as if the door would magically open.

Jaemin has work today, supposedly that is. But it's already 7:03 am and the werewolf usually wakes up at 6 o clock at the same time Jeno does.

The hybrid contemplates, should he knock? Will the alpha get mad? Will he get mad if he disturbs him? Or will he get mad for not informing him? Oh God, which is which?!

The blond fumbles with his fingers and before he knew it, his hand was lifted up in the air as it was curled into a fist and knocked on the door lightly waiting for Jaemin to get it.

15 minutes, yes he counted. Fifteen minutes and no one answered, shit– is he dead?! Oh fuck, what does he do? Call the police? Yeah right, like they could help–

"What?" A voice spoke as it echoed through the walls of the silent household. Jeno flinched with his tail freezing mid air and his fur puffing out making it look bigger.

Jaemin stood there with his pajamas and messy hair, he had tired eyes and a slightly red runny nose making him look like a werewolf version of Rudolph. He basically looked sick, like quite literally both ways.

Jeno shuffled on his feet as his ankle bracelet jingled from the bell, "u-uhm, it's seven A.M," he whispered while Jaemin raised his eyebrow and leaning into the doorway. "A-alpha has work," he mumbled.

Jaemin's lips quirked up a bit as he chuckled, "well, as you can see," he croaks with his voice cracked and sounded like he had a sore throat, "I'm sick," he motions to himself.

Jeno widened his eyes and his mother cat instincts kicking in like a punch in the guts, "alpha's sick?" He mumbled with a pout as he scanned Jaemin's face.

The said alpha brushed Jeno's hair behind his ear while it twitched, admiring the hybrid's pretty face and how adorable he looked when he's concerned. Let me rephrase that, concerned about him.

Jaemin nodded and coughed on his fist, "I'll be fine," he sniffled as Jeno grew even more concerned. "Now why don't you go downstairs and wait for me, I'll drive you to work."

"No!" The hybrid exclaimed making the alpha flinched and furrowed his eyebrows smelling something. "Alpha needs rest, Kitten will help alpha! Alpha is hurt," he frowned.

Jaemin took another sniff and realized the scent of Vanilla and Hyacinth surrounding them a bit faded and strong like it was switching, it then clicked on his mind that Jeno was really worried and his cat instincts kicked it.

He took another look at the omega and sighed seeing how Jeno was close to tearing up if he doesn't take care of Jaemin even though it usually is the other way around.

The alpha lifts the hybrid's chin up meeting glassy and dilated eyes, he mentally groans at himself knowing what Jeno is doing. He's persuading him with cutesy shit, and it's fucking working alright.

"Do you want to help alpha?" He asked and brushed Jeno's cheekbones with his thumb as the boy leaned in to his hand purring softly.

The blond hummed, "mhmm~ Kitty wanna help alpha so alpha will be better," he mumbles and flutters his eyelashes to look up at Jaemin.

The werewolf's breath hitched and it certainly wasn't because of his sore throat. Jeno's the main cause of not only his but everyone else's sore eyes.

He hummed in acknowledgement and leaned his forehead down to meet Jeno's, ignoring his wolf side telling him to be aggressive and stop whatever this is. He's fighting so hard against his inner wolf despite being ill and weak.

"Just for Jeno, my pretty Jeno," his conscious said and repeated itself louder than his inner wolf making him almost deaf ears.

He doesn't know what's happening about his alpha ego, one side is telling him to push away and go back to how they were before or siding with his inner wolf.

Meanwhile the other one is siding with his inner human telling him that this is somewhat right, this felt right. This is right.

His human ego is telling him things that made his heart beat fast, his wolf ego is telling him things that made his stomach drop while his alpha is in between.

But he could hear the word "My" and "Jeno" in the same sentence repeating itself in his head making him let out a growl as the hybrid looks up with shaking eyes, startled at the sound.

Jaemin lets out his pheromones as he could also smell them himself, smoking campfires and pin trees wrapping around their bodies like blankets.

It wasn't really weak, it wasn't strong either. It was calming but also kept switching like how Jeno's scent did, Jaemin sighed and lets out more to prove himself.

Jeno took a sniff and his tail swayed softly as he felt protected and worried, Jaemin was letting out his pheromones for him to smell like the alpha.

He then also realized that Jaemin was proving himself that he wasn't mad at him, he didn't growl because of anger, he growled because of instinct. The hybrid just didn't know that the thought of Jeno as Jaemin's, made the alpha in the latter kick in.

"Then do it kitten," he whispers and leans back to look at Jeno's face who tilted with curiosity. He lifts the blond's hand up and placed a sloppy kiss on his knuckles, "take care of Alpha, darling."

The hybrid was shocked at first with his cheeks heating up, flushing in red as he scans Jaemin's face for any signs of lie from his words. When he didn't see anything but generosity and amusement – probably from his state right now – and maybe a hint of administration, he beams.

"Really?" He gasped and his ears perked up as Jaemin reached to scratch them from behind making him smile and purr.

The werewolf chuckled and nodded, "do what you must," he shrugged. The hybrid cheered and hugs him tight as he froze for a moment but slowly melted in to the touch.

He saw Jeno's tail swaying and his ears perked up, he smiled and wrapped his arms on the boy's waist. It was sort of a new feeling, he isn't foreign to hugs of course, but a cat? That's a hundred percent new for him.

He began to wonder many different things, especially about what he was taught while growing up. What if they were lying? What if Cats and Dogs are actually friends instead of enemies? What if cats are actually nice and not slobs, arrogant and all that shit?

What if Jeno isn't one of them? What if he befriend's Jeno? What if there's something there? Jeno isn't slobby, arrogant and all that shit. Jeno is very active, shy, and other shit.

Jeno is a worrywart, a nerd, a mother like person, gentle, caring, that's mixed with clumsiness, sometimes can be a little dummy, isn't really trained and that just made him look adorable and precious.

Most cat hybrids would usually poke on the thorns of the rose getting themselves hurt, but would still do it again. Jeno is afraid of those thorns, he doesn't want to touch them but somehow gets poked by it instead, making him afraid.

Jaemin still has to observe and see what Jeno will do, how he will act and other information. He also needs to get a grip of himself, let himself control, know what he actually wants, not let his inner wolf control him, but the other way around.

Jaemin needs to train himself to being a better alpha rather than losing control over it. Alphas are competitive, they don't like losing, and Jaemin doesn't want to lose against his egotistical self.
