Managing a cat

F O U R T E E N- The first snow

"Yes?" The younger spoke without knowing who the person was, slightly reaching out his arm in front of Yoongi's body, as if to protect him.

"I'm a lord from the northern town Rain, I have spoken to your mother, the queen- just a while ago... may I hand over a proposition that the two of us discussed?" The older man explained his presence and Tae nodded.

"Of course, however~ Can we take it tomorrow morning, after the gala dear lord? I'm busy at the current moment" the taller voiced the situation, making the lord glance towards the creature beside the prince.

"And who is this? If I may ask" the lord questioned with a confused smile. The young prince was about to introduce them— But the small group tensed up as the door creaked open once again...

"I was just going to ask if everything was going alright cousin~ your absence has been noticed" a boy asked peeking his head in through the doorframe, plump lips gracing his dimly lit face.

"Yes Jimin- I'm just watching the snowfall from a better place" Taehyung scoffed while rolling his eyes at the other, who clearly interrupted them.

"Well well well~ if it isn't the infamous boy who stole my cousin's heart" the new stranger sang happily, sneaking inside the room and up to the small male.

Yoongi yelped as he felt a hand slither around his waist. The small hybrid snapped his head towards the unfamiliar boy next to him and irritatedly coughed out loud.

"Let go of me! -And I haven't stolen anything from this stupid prince" The cat spat angrily which made the one holding him smirk devilishly. "And if I won't?" Tae's cousin talked back, making the small boy in his grip hiss and squirm.

"What the hell! Let go of me you bastard" Yoongi yelled, not caring about the onlookers. He trashed around in the younger's arms, in the mix of all the commotion- his tail flopped out of its tightly tucked pants and his ears shooting straight up.

"Jimin..." the prince scolded sternly, ignoring the fact that his Kitten had called him stupid- he understood that the older still kept up a barrier shielding him with trust issues.

"Oh! He is a hybrid, that's so awesome-" the stranger spoke still securely holding the smaller's waist, but got interrupted by an unhappy grunt.

"Filthy beast" the old lord grumbled under his breath. He had thought that the boy was just abnormally cautious and maybe a tiny bit suspicious of something– But when he finally got to know the real truth, the lord felt truly disgusted.

"I thought my daughter was lying when she said that a monster was roaming the streets- I guess she spoke the truth... no offence my prince, but how could you ever let such a dirty scum inside the castle walls?" The lord questioned, raising his voice– his sentence echoing through the still room.

"Excuse me- what did you call him?" Tae asked monotonously, rather baffled by the lord's manners, not to mention his audacity –Even the prince's cousin was stumped by the old man's words.

"Tae- don't, I need to go anyways" Yoongi muttered quietly, so that only the prince could hear, but said person shook his head violently. "No, you're not leaving- he is" the younger spoke while raising his hand in the direction of the lord, but the hybrid wasn't going to stay any longer...

—Yoongi shifted his eyes to all the different people in the private room, his eyes lingering for a few extra seconds on the prince, who was the one who had made him come to the gala in the first place. This was a big mistake the cat thought– before running out, ignoring the taller [and much more beautiful] man's yells... and ignoring the nagging of the guard after him.

He ran with closed eyes... and he didn't stop until he felt the snow hit his pale skin— He didn't stop until his body become cold as ice in the late night hours.

That's when the panic took over once again...

[The next day in the city]

The young prince's eyes went wide as he spotted his Kitten curled up in a ball, outside a closed bakery– Snow piling on the small male's thin clothing.

"Oh no-" Taehyung mumbled as he rushed forward, bumping into a couple that was walking down the street. The tall boy's pulse rose as he clumsily made his way across the icy road.
