Chapter Text
The van pulled up in front of their dorm building, all twelve boys being exhausted due practicing all day. After winning Road To Kingdom, they couldn’t be happier and more grateful towards deobis. However, after the well deserved rest, they immediately started preparing for their comeback Reveal.
Sunwoo had been exhausted from jumping and defying his fear of heights, all just to make The B happy. In the end, it all paid off when they won and he felt happiness rush from his heart to every fiber of his body. He was a cat anyways, for sure he’d always land on his feet. He also trusted his mates with his life, Eric reassuring him it would be alright every night and his Kevin hyung working so hard while looking after him. Sunwoo couldn’t be more grateful for the hybrids, silently buying them snacks and checking if they were alright themselves before focusing on practice and their comeback.
They made their comeback in February, this time feeling stronger ever since they gained more popularity in Road To Kingdom. Sunwoo had fun, hyper from all the cheers The B gave them. He found pride in making them smile whenever they heard The Boyz’s songs and loved how they gave them so much support and love in return.
Making their fans happy together with his boyfriends, there would be no other place he would want to be right now, maybe not ever.
After all the performances and dancing on the MNET stage, they finished their last practice and preparations for the comeback today, all of them collapsing into the van one by one. Finally they were able to catch some break, with thought on the free days they had from now on.
The atmosphere was nice and bubbly, Eric and Jacob talking about something in English while Kevin laughed beside them, Changmin and Chanhee huddled close as they watched a video ( was that kittens he saw on his hyung’s phone? ), Hakyeon drooling while sleeping and Hyunjae laughing at the boy, taking pictures along with Younghoon. Sangyeon was sitting in the front seat, looking out of the window with a soft smile as he listened to his mates chatting. Juyeon had his earphones on, looking tired but relaxed as he shrunk back in his seat.
Sunwoo sighed happily, watching all of them, a small smile that was barely shown and felt how the tiredness washed over him.
Unbeknownst to him, Hyunjoon was watching the brunette with a fond smile, happy that he caught Sunwoo’s tsundere nature wash off.
The cat hybrid leaned back, resting his head against the seat as he dozed off. With the quiet huff off the car and soft laughter around him, Sunwoo felt himself give in to the tiredness and fell asleep. His ears shifted slightly, relaxing as the brunette curled himself up.
Hyunjoon carefully fished up his phone, snatching a picture ( thank god it was on silent or Sunwoo would’ve picked up the sound and hissed at him )
He looked at the picture, smile so ever present as the brunette beside him breathed softly, body relaxed beside him. The real deal was of course much better than a picture, Hyunjoon thought as he hummed.
Continuing to scroll through his phone, he went into twitter and created a post.
Sleepy after practice today, I hope deobis rest well♡ I got an adorable kitten beside me(*^▽^*)
The van bumped into something small, making Sunwoo’s head slide down until it bumped on his shoulder. Hyunjoon stilled, glancing down to see the boy still sleeping.
Blinking, he softly patted Sunwoo’s messy brown hair, making the hybrid nuzzle into the touch. Chuckling silently, he published the post along with the picture before putting his phone down.
He was sure The B would comment a lot and he agreed when they pointed out how cute Sunwoo was. He’ll make sure to read through some comments later, wanting to see their fans reactions.
For now, he had his hands full with a cat, the brunette purring as he carded his fingers though his hair and scraping his scalp comfortably. The wolf hybrid cooed, tilting his head as he watched Sunwoo smile and purr in his sleep.
With their hyungs and dongsaeng buzzing around them, Hyunjoon felt his eyes starting to drop too, hooking an arm around Sunwoo to move him closer without waking up the male. He leaned closer to the brunette and closed his eyes before drifting off with a smile.

”Shhhh, be quiet!”
”Yah, shut up yourself!”
”Both of you are just as loud as me!”
Hyunjoon mentally sighed at the clicking sounds of cameras, waiting for them to get quieter. Of course they would do this, he wasn’t even surprised by now.
”Jacob hyung, move your head! I’m trying to get a good picture.”
“Hyunjae, you’re holding the camera up and down-“
The raven let out a small groan, blinking groggily as he slowly awoke. Around him, the voices immediately went silent and he found himself snorting. He opened his eyes and was met with four pair of eyes and three phones in his face.
"How did you do that, Hyunjoon?" Eric looked at him with big eyes, confusing the wolf hybrid as he shifted slightly.
"Do what?" It was then he noticed the heavy weight on his chest, looking down to find a still sleeping Sunwoo. During the way home, the brunette must’ve moved, leaving him practically in Hyunjoon’s lap with his nose tucked under the wolf’s scent glad and legs thrown over his lap. The cat was drooling slightly ( adorable even if it was a bit hot having another body on top of his ) and he smiled, gently scratching the cat’s ears. Sunwoo let out a sigh, breath staying even as he nuzzled closer to Hyunjoon.
"This? He just happened to bump into my shoulder while sleeping and I let him before falling asleep myself." He shrugged, giggling at the maknae’s gaping mouth.
Sangyeon turned from where he was sitting, smiling fondly at his dongsaengs. "Don’t crowd them too much or Sunie will wake up, you know?"
Hyunjae fell back in his seat, pouting and mumbling something about wanting to cuddle their second youngest too. Jacob and Kevin went back to their places, not before snapping another picture of the two, though. Hyunjoon carefully moved to the side so he wouldn’t wake up the sleeping kitten, facing a still sulking Eric.
"I think you guys need to wake him up soon anyways, we are almost home." Juyeon had taken off his earphones, tiger ears directed towards them as if he had listened. The blue haired boy ruffled his still sweaty dark hair, looking out as the driver turned.
His hyung were right, Hyunjoon recognized the dorm as the van pulled into a street to drop them off.
Not really wanting to wake Sunwoo up, he glanced down on the brunette and then on Eric who sat beside them. The younger touched Sunwoo’s cheek gently, the cat letting out a soft sigh but still not waking up. Eric looked up again, their eyes meeting as he shrugged. "Whatever we decide to do, he has to wake up anyways."
Hyunjoon nodded, watching how Sunwoo’s tail trailed around Eric’s wrist as if he wanted to keep the younger right where he sat. In front of them they could hear how Sangyeon thanked the driver and how the doors opened before the members started filing out of the van. Eric looked hesitantly on him, the panther glancing down at Sunwoo.
He shook his head, smiling. "Don’t worry, I got this. You should go inside first, keep the door open for us."
The blonde nodded, squeezing his hand before following the others out of the van. The youngest was so cute, all worried for them.
It was pretty dark now, and he could hear the rain so he was grateful the van was parked near the entrance at least. He moved slightly, tapping Sunwoo on the cheek. The younger groaned up didn’t move, eyes staying closed. Finding the grumpy cat amusing, he leaned closer to whisper in Sunwoo’s ear. "Sun, we are home. You should wake up and go up."
The cat shifted, ears moving before grumbling an "I don’ wanna" and Hyunjoon chuckled. They had all come to agreement that cats were always grumpy when waking up, especially in the mornings and it was them speaking from knowledge. Jacob had to enter Sunwoo’s, Kevin’s and Changmin’s room at least four times before he proceeded to get the brunette out of bed and down on a chair in the kitchen. And even then, the cat hybrid wasn’t really awake until Chanhee hyung was practically shoving the first spoon of rice into his mouth. ( Coffee was not an option though )
"Seonoo?" He received only a small whine in return. If Sunwoo hadn’t been so sleepy, he’d maybe go up while mumbling inaudible words. Maybe, depending on his mood.
Right now, it seemed like Sunwoo wouldn’t suddenly go up and drag himself to their dorm.
Hyunjoon sighed, burying his nose in Sunwoo’s hair as an idea formed in his head.
"How about this? We get up and shower, then I’ll bring the chocolate and we can watch Kimi No Na Wa." The wolf hybrid got a hum in return as Sunwoo buried his face into his neck even more. Cute.
Sunwoo was only ever like this when he was tired and it was quite adorable.
So since he got no good answer from the other hybrid, Hyunjoon decided his idea sounded good after all and didn’t warn Sunwoo before hooking his arm under the brunette’s knees and lifting the cat up. An answering yelp was heard as Sunwoo’s eyes flailed open, gasping in surprise as he wrapped his arms around the raven’s neck.
"Y-yah! I’m an full grown man, I can walk myself!"
Hyunjoon snickered, holding the hybrid closer as he draped their jackets over both of them and starting to get out of the van. "Yeah, yeah you big baby. I know you’re mature but you would probably have slipped in the rain being this sleepy."
"I would not!" Sunwoo’s ears turned red, the brunette hiding his face in Hyunjoon’s neck, making the other pout.
Without teasing him more, Hyunjoon held the brunette closer to his chest and went into the open doors ( Thanks, Eric )
Once they got into the dorm, Chanhee and Changmin was already in the kitchen making dinner, Sangyeon in the shower while the others where in their rooms with their door open so you could hear them talking loudly.
The wolf hybrid merely nodded when Younghoon shouted at them to close the door and went to the living room before laying Sunwoo down carefully. Sunwoo’s face was still beet red, probably for being even more flustered as he heard Hyunjae’s snickering.
“I could’ve still walked by myself, you know.” He just shrugged, ducking down quickly to kiss Sunwoo on the forehead which had the younger shrieking and pushing him away.
”I wanted to carry you anyways.” Hyunjoon laughed as he fled the room, an blushing cat hissing after him.
Changmin looked up when he entered the kitchen, raising his eyebrow in question as the younger opened the fridge.
”You know dinner is soon ready, right?” The raven pulled out a pack of chocolate, hiding it under his shirt so Chanhee wouldn’t see.
“I know, I won’t let Seonoo eat too much chocolate.” Changmin shook just head, going back to his phone as Hyunjoon strolled out of the room.
“That means you too!” He laughed as he jumped into the sofa next to Sunwoo.
Grabbing the blanket hanging aside them, he wrapped himself and the cat hybrid inside it, proceeding to grab the remote along. Sunwoo huffed but leaned against him anyways. He thought it was pretty cozy, starting to look after the brunette’s favorite movie. For sure, the other would never admit it but his tail gave it away as it swayed back and forth, making Hyunjoon smile wider.
As the movie started he pulled the chocolate up, giving Sunwoo one piece as he munched on one himself. Lifting his finger to his lips, he snickered and mouthed "Don’t tell Chanhee hyung, alright?"
The giggle he got in return made his heart soar with love and happiness.
A while later, when no one had bothered telling the wolf and cat about dinner, Kevin and Sangyeon came into the living room to find the two sleeping hybrids on the sofa. Hyunjoon’s arms was tightly wrapped around Sunwoo’s waist and their limbs were entangled as both of them were wrapped inside the blanket. The brunette was pressed against Hyunjoon’s chest, their faces relaxed ( was that drool they saw? ) and Hyunjoon’s nose buried in Sunwoo’s hair. They looked so peaceful no one wanted to wake them up.
Younghoon peeked into the room, beaming at the scene as he pulled up his phone to capture the adorable pair in a picture.
