"there's a party this weekend, wanna come with us?" Renjun asked sitting down on one of the stools as he watches the triplets in the garden playing again.

Jeno hums, "I would love to but-" he paused and glances at the glass door towards the garden eyeing the triplets as he turns to Renjun. "The kids and–"

"You can ask someone out to babysit them for the night this Saturday, I'm sure it'll be fine," the fox hybrid shrugged nonchalantly.

Footsteps were heard and Chenle emerges in the kitchen as he sat down beside Renjun with furrowed eyebrows, "what did I miss while I was in a phonecall?" He asked.

The elder rolled his eyes at him, "gossiper," he murmured earning a glare. "There's a party this Saturday, wanna join us?" He repeats the same question he previously asked Jeno.

The young beta grins, "well duh, Jisung will go with us too. He finished most of his paperwork and his schedule isn't that packed," he stated.

"Great, and the only ones left are Jaemin and Jeno." Renjun said turning back to the cat hybrid who was baking more cookies for them to eat since Hyunjoon wanted some.

"I'm not really sure if we could come along, and who's party is it anyway?" Jeno asked getting the cookie cutter to shape out the dough.

The fox hybrid scrolled through his phone, "it's Minghao's party, apparently his mate Jun had arrived back home after two months in China," he stated looking up.

"Come on hyung, come with us this Saturday and let loose! It'll be fun!" Chenle chided getting up from his seat to grab a box of strawberry juice.

Jeno chewed his lip hesitating, "I'm not sure Lele, no one will look after the kids and what if something goes wrong?" He said worriedly taking another glance at the garden.

Hyuntae was pushing Hyejin on the swing from the small playground set while Hyunjoon was busy playing with his toy trucks on the dirt making a mess of himself. He'd probably take another bath but that's fine.

"Relax Jen, don't worry about the kids too much." Renjun said trying to persuade his friend with his tail swaying and his ears perked up.

Jeno almost looked the same, except his ears were low on his head, a sign that he's in somewhat peer pressure but at the same time worried.

"Clearly you don't know what's having kids like Injun," the cat hybrid sighed saying it with no bite at all. "I'm just worried what'll happen if I'm not there to keep an eye on them, especially on Hyunjoon."

Renjun hums, "well you really don't have to worry that much, you just gotta ask someone you know to take care of them. Plus, Hyuntae is mature enough and will probably help the babysitter too." He stated.

"But what about Jaemin? I don't even know if he'll allow me to go," Jeno said thinking about what could be the possible reaction of his boyfriend if he heard about this.

"I knew you'd ask that," the elder said. "Don't worry, Haechan's got it covered," Renjun winked as if he had just predicted the future.

"He does?" Chenle asked raising a brow in doubt.

"Of course he does, or else he'll be sleeping outside again," the fox hybrid grins through his teeth with his tone stern.

"Oh, well I was actually hoping he'd fail," the beta said. "Because I want him to suffer," he cackled almost choking on his strawberry juice.

Jeno chuckled, "fine, I'll ask Jaemin later when he comes home." He surrendered easily persuaded and rolled his eyes.

Renjun and Chenle grins, "great!" They both exclaimed in sync as they looked at each other with a look of disgust. "Ew stop copying me."

The cat hybrid snickered at their silliness as he continues to bake the cookies and calls the triplets soon after before the sweets would get cold.

"Hey babe," Jeno purred sitting down on Jaemin's lap as the latter was typing something on the laptop for his paperwork.

"Hey baby," the elder greets looking up from the screen meeting his boyfriend's flirty gaze. What's going on?

He blinks when the younger was playing with the hair on his nape as he avoided eye contact. Ah, this is definitely odd and a play.

"Okay darling, what do you want hm?" Jaemin said already having a guess that his lover needed something.

Jeno raised a brow, "what do you mean?" He asked playing dumb almost fooling his lover if it wasn't for his voice cracking and lack of eye contact.

The brunet runs his hand on Jeno's thigh up and down gripping on it with a squeeze here and there, "I know you want something, you only do this when you're nervous and such." He chuckled.

Darnit, was he that obvious? Or was Jaemin just that good at guessing? Maybe both.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he said nevertheless due to his nervousness. He can't help it, what if Jaemin would freak out if he heard about this party on Saturday?

The werewolf clicked his tongue, "cut the act sweetheart, I know you're anticipating to tell me something." He grits his teeth before leaning in to whisper in Jeno's ear nibbling on the soft skin,"I know you too well, kitten."

The name made Jeno gulp with his ears twitching and his tail curling up on the low husky voice of his lover, "fuck you for being so damn hot," he groans with a meow.

The brunet chuckled, "hey, but you almost got me there if you actually made eye contact with me and quit staring down on my crotch," he snorts.

The blond whined and smacked his chest making him grunt, "not to mention your scent is sweet," he winked earning another smack.

"Shut up," Jeno muttered sighing and leaning on his side to Jaemin's shoulder still playing with his nape hair.

"Alright, what did you actually want to tell me hm?" The elder asked again as he quickly typed more words before pausing to properly communicate with his boyfriend.

"So you know how protective you can be?" The hybrid started drawling the words to act innocent.

Jaemin raised a brow, "yes?" He answered. Obviously he knows he gets protective towards Jeno, he's known that ever since his colleagues would tease him about it even before the two mated.

"Well there's this party–"

"Oh you mean Minghao's party this Saturday," the elder cuts in making Jeno gulp again. "What about it?" He asked.

It was just silent after that, and that only made the werewolf have an idea what his lover is implying.

The blond heaved a sigh before speaking, "uhm, I was wondering if–"

"We could go and join the party?" Jaemin cuts in again perfectly on point with his guess. Darn him.

Jeno nodded hesitantly, "u-uhm, yeah." He swallowed dryly. "But of course it's up to you! Renjun and Chenle just persuaded me and you know how I can be easily persuaded right?" He began rapidly speaking.

"So I said yeah without fighting back and– and now I'm asking you because I don't want you to get mad at me and– and then–" he paused before letting out a squeak and a small whine.

Jaemin blinks before laughing. Gosh, Jeno is fucking adorable.

He loves it when his mate starts to get nervous and panicky, because then he would start rambling and ends it all with a small whine along with a squeak as a sign of defeat.

"Do you really want to go?" He asked playing with the hybrid's tail.

Jeno looks up with his eyes wide like a doll's, "w-what?" He asked. Is he hearing things?

"I said, do you really want to go to the party?" Jaemin sighed repeating himself. "Because I don't want to force you okay? So, do you really want to join?" He asked.

The blond blinks a few times before nodding slowly, "well I-I already agreed to Renjun and Chenle, and they said it could be our first time letting loose since we have kids now, just to have fun for once," he said.

The werewolf smiles and pinched his nose lovingly, "you're so cute," he cooed making the hybrid blush furiously. "Alright, we can go," he said.

Jeno chokes on his saliva, "really?!" He exclaimed. He really is hearing things, or Jaemin just answered wrongly, maybe he meant to say no.

The alpha snorts, "just this once, because those bastards has already persuaded you before I could pull you away," he muttered.

The younger squealed and kissed his cheek, "thank you alpha!" He cheered beaming.

It's been forever since he's gone out to have fun, he's usually at home taking care of the triplets or at work taking care of more children.

So to be allowed to go to a party for once, it's like letting out some stress. He could let loose and enjoy without worrying too much.

"We'll ask someone to babysit the triplets later," Jaemin said before closing his laptop and grabs Jeno by the waist with a smirk on his face.

"But first, let's finish off what you've started," he whispered nibbling on his ear. "Kitten."
