" Sweetie, today we will have some visitors, so I'll need you to be on your best behavior, okay?" Your mom asked six year old you.

You nodded with a smile.

" Okay! Will they play with me?" You had asked her excitedly.

" Who knows, maybe. They have a son around your age. His name is Hoseok. Maybe he'd like to play with you?" Your mother had smiled.

The guests had arrived around noon, and just like what your mother had told you, the boy loved to play with you, even tough his parents looked less happy with that. You two played hide and seek, chased after each other, simply coloured. Basically everything.

Your friendship didn't stop there. Jung Hoseok and you had become the best of friends and were only all too happy to both be accepted in Hogwarts. ( Tough you both had expected to get accepted as your parents had been in Hogwarts too.) From that faithfull day in Diagon Alley, where you had gotten your fiercely loyal wand ( cherry blossom tree wood with a Unicorn hair as core and mildly flexible), the two of you promised to stick together no matter what.

Hoseok's parents were not particularly happy with that, as they were typical pure blooded Slytherin's and had always disliked Hoseok's childlike side from when he was young.

Growing up in a pure blood family where everyone was Slytherin was awful, according to him anyway. His parents had set up hard expectations and were very judgemental. It's what made the friendship between both of your father's break. They had wanted Hoseok to stop being friends with you too, but Hoseok had never listened.

Until last year, you tough bitterly as the two of you made eye contact.

The boy in front of you had left after fifth year without saying anything. That whole summer went by without at least one letter, and when the start of sixth year was, he was no where to find.

" He's not here." A Gryffindor told the two men, the both of them giving him his full attention.

" What?" Hoseok said, and damn, did this boy's voice grow deep.

Now that you were subconsciously checking him out, Hoseok did grow up indeed. He was now a lot taller, had grown his hair out a bit, his voice was deeper, and his style seemed to have changed too.

" The boy who lived. Harry Potter. I mean, that's who you're looking for right? He's not here." The Gryffindor, who you now recognized as Neville Longbottom, spoke up bravely.

Hoseok's companion sighed before turning to Hoseok, motioning that they should go if he wasn't here anyway.

Hoseok nodded before locking eyes with you again for a moment, and damn had his eyes grown cold.

" You okay?" Taehee asked you after a moment, and only then you realized that the train had started moving again and that Hoseok and the other guy was gone.

" Wasn't that Hoseok?" Taehyung asked puzzled, receiving a death glare feom his twin as she motioned to you with her eyes.

Taehyung gave you a guilty look.

" Sorry."

" No, it's okay. I almost couldn't recognise him either. He's changed so much.-" You suddenly choked on a sob as you realized something important.

Hoseok had become a Death Eater.

-

Hoseok couldn't think ever since he saw you in the train.

After a year, you still looked like his Y/N. And he was grateful for that. 

He knew that you probably didn't want to talk to him. Especially after what he's become.

He hated on who's side he's fighting now. 

But he felt he had no choice. He didn't want to be a death eater. But his parents had wanted him too.

He currently hated everything that was going on.

Him being a death eater.

And him knowing you, you probably being in Dumbledore's Army.

He just hoped you would be okay

Terrible things were about to happen at Hogwarts after all.

" Hoseok? Your parents want to speak to you." Hoseok was knocked out of his toughs by Draco, who was stood in the door opening.

" What do they want now?" He asked the boy.

" I don't know." Draco shrugged timidly.

Hoseok nodded and pushed past Draco.

Draco him were rather alike, but both were dealing with it differently.

While Draco cowers at everything and obeys to everyone, Hoseok tries his best to fight back.

The mission to kill Dumbledore was originally meant for Hoseok after all, and when he refused, they had turned to Draco.

And locked Hoseok up in Malfoy Manor. 

To undergo his 'training'.

The dark lord had seen the ambition in Hoseok's eyes when he mentioned the mission to him, and decided he could be of use. But according to the man, Hoseok was too soft for not wanting to kill Dumbledore.

He will prove them wrong one day, Hoseok knows.

He takes a deep breath as he pushes the doors open.

Inside are his parents, who are both smiling.

" Hoseok." His mother greeted him.

" The dark lord has chosen a mission for you." His father smiled sinister.

Hoseok raised one of his brows, silently telling him to continue.

" You will go to Hogwarts with the Carrows and Snape." His mother told him excitedly.

" What?" He asked perplexed, suprise making it's way to his usually stoic face.

" You won't have to be a student there. You'll only have to supervise, in a way. You can get to punish whoever student you like. In whatever way." His father smiled proudly at him, while he felt sick to the stomach.

" You can do it in anyway you want! Isn't that exciting?!" His mother smiled.

" I personally enjoy using the Impersius curse on them, and then let them mess up their friendships with their friends." She smiled innocently.

Meanwhile he wasn't listening, only one thing being on his mind.

He will have to face you again.

You sighed as you stared out of the window, watching the meadows pass by in a blur.

You were currently seated in the train on your way to Hogwarts, but none of you or your froends who were seated around you were speaking, which was very odd, tough you all know why. The tension in the air was sickening, especially since knowing that almost all your muggleborn friends were quite literally wiped out of your life. And since Hufflepuff had a lot of those, there was a great loss.

" What do you think they'll do now?" Taehyung asked, breaking the tense silence you all were stuck in.

" I don't know. I hope nothing too bad tough." Namjoon, who used to be a Ravenclaw prefect said.

Namjoon was a half blood, like you, and because it was his last year anyway, he was allowed to stay. Tough every title he used to have was passed on to pureblooded schoolmates.

A stupid rule really.

" Thank Merlin that Yoongi and Jin have already graduated." Taehee, your best friend and Taehyung's twin sister, said.

You nodded in agreement silently.

Kim Seokjin was one of the nicest Hufflepuff you had ever known, tough he was a muggle born and it would've been sad if his last year would be taken from him by He Who Must Not Be Named. Min Yoongi was a pure blood Slytherin, but he too was one of the two nicest Slytherin you had ever known. He was fiercely protective of his friends and was not racist about blood races. He, and your childhood friend Hoseok, had always been nice to other houses and tried to clean up Slytherin's reputation. Tough you hadn't seen him since the start of summer holiday from fifth year.

" I miss Jiminie and Jungkookie." Taehyung mumbled sadly as he leaned down on his arms.

Nobody could react to that. 

Jimin, one of your Hufflepuff housemates, and Jungkook, a good Gryffindor friend of yours, had gone imto hiding once He Who Must Now Be Named started hunting muggleborns.

Suddenly the train slowly halted and you all sat straight alarmed.

" What's going on?" You wishpered fearfully, holding hands with your best friend, Taehee, who despite being brave, also seemed scared.

" Please don't tell me they've braught back the dementors." Taehyung wishpered under his breath.

All of your breaths stopped as the door to your compartment opened, and two males walked in.

One of them had brown hair and a light skin colour, you didn't recognize him. The other one had black hair and a melanin skin colour, and something felt very familiar about him, tough you couldn't comprehend what. He currently had his back turned to you, but once he turned around your heart skipped a beat.

Hoseok.

Pairing : Kim Taehyung X Reader

Summary : Taehyung fell in love with you the moment you saved him from the shit excuse of a hybrid 'sanctuary', but it takes jealousy to actually get to talk about it with you.

Wordcount: 1.8k

[ A/N: So there was a Quotev reader who had a story suggestion for a wolf hybrid Tae, I decided to make ut into a one shot instead and instead of Wolf hybrid Tae, I decided on Alaskan Noble Companion Dog Tae. Anyway, enjoy!]

Masterlist

Taehyung's pointy black wolf like ears twitched on top of his his dyed blonde head due to all the sounds around him.

It was currently almost 2 A.M., and he had woken up to the movement around him.

Which was weird, it was usually completely quiet in the 'sanctuary' around this time. However, there was currently an unnerving amount of different sounds around him. And even tough he couldn't see anyone, he could almost feel the tension.

" What about this one?" A femine voice sounded outside the metal door he was hidden behind.

Who was at the sanctuary at this time? 

His ears went back in caution as he sat up on his bed, ready to pounce at whoever would enter his room.

" He's a little.... I don't know. But every time I see him, he's growling at us." He recognised the voice of this guy as someone who worked in the sanctuary, he'd never talked to him before, but he does recognise his voice.

A genuine chuckle left the your lips, as if it's funny.

" That's probably because you work here. Okay! Fella on the other side of this room, step back cause we're about to blow it!" Your voice sounded, and Taehyung listened, even tough he was confused.

His tail wagged softly behind him in curiosity.

" You better cover your ears!" You yelled before a beeping sound was heard.

At first the beeping was soft and even, but after a few seconds it was just a flat screaming line, and before he knew it the door was blown up.

Where the door used to stand was now one big hole, and he could see how his neighbor, a black jaguar hybrid by the name of Yoongi, was also let out of a big hole instead of a door.

" See! I told you it'd work!" You yelled to the sanctuary worker, who smiled and nodded.

Taehyung growled at the worker, who was in his uniform, probably because he had the night shift.

" You can go. I'll take it from here." You told him, now serious, as you faced Taehyung.

The worker nodded and walked away, off to help the other hybrids out.

Taehyung eyed the pair of tweezers and scalpel in your hand warily.

You took a look at it too before openly showcasing it to him.

" Yeah, I know. I seem like a mentally unstable person whose going to kill you. But we need to get your tracker out. Do you mind?" You asked.

Taehyung was surprised to say the least, never had a human asked him if he was okay with what they'll do to him.

He wordlessly shook his head, unable to form a sentence.

You smiled thankfully at him.

" Turn around please. Your tracker is in your left shoulder blade. They put it there so you can't like, scratch it out or something." You instructed him.

He nodded, and took his shirt of with it, that way you had easier access to his back.

" Thank you. What's your name?" You asked him, trying not to let your hands wander over the bruises adoring his back.

" Taehyung." He answered, His voice deep and husky.

" Nice to meet you, Taehyung. I'm Y/N. Also a fair warning, this'll hurt." You warned him before pushing the scapel into his skin.

Taehyung sucked in his breath from the pain, but didn't move. 

" W-what would you have done if I hadn't wanted you to cut it out?" Taehyung asked after a moment.

" We'd try to create a malfunction in it trough the laptop. But that'd be way riskier and overall not nice. Or we'd take it out on location. " You said as you pushed his tracker out.

Taehyung didn't say anything as you pulled something out of him.

" There. Now off you go. There's a bus outside, they'll take you to safety. We'll stitch you up once we're at base. Oh, and throw your tracker in the river." You told him as you handed him his tracker, a small black object which looked a lot like a phone's chipcard.

" Wait- Where are you going? What about you?" Taehyung asked, suddenly overcome with concern.

" I'm going to help the other hybrids out." You told him before turning away and walking down the hall.

Taehyung decided to follow you. Not all the hybrids in here are safe to approach after all, and you're saving him, he should maybe save you too.

That's how Taehyung met you, and he couldn't have been happier.

You were part of a Hybrid Activist group, you were the Med guy in the team, taking out hybrid their trackers and patching them up when needed.

After helping him break out, he's decided to stay with you. You were fine with that, and treated him more like a person than pet, unlike how most people treat hybrids.

It's now six months later, and Taehyung feels grumpy as he watches you and the new hybrid that came in around a week ago.

The two of you were right now at the Hybrid Sanctuary where you worked at, and you were working hard as always. Whenether it'd be to care for the little ones or to care for the elder ones, you never seemed to mind their requests.

It wasn't that he didn't like the new rabbit hybrid, the guy was actually pretty cool and all. It was more that the rabbit was more often than not a little too comfortable around you for his liking. 

Like right now for example, you only sat down a moment ago to rest and the hybrid was once again glued to your side.

Taehyung's jealousy grew as he watched your hand move into the hybrid's hair, your fingers probably scratching the base of his ears.

It did seem very comfortable. Would it feel nice if you'd pet his ears too?

Even tough you two lived together, you had never pet Taehyung like that. The most you've done is run your fingers trough his hair when he was tired.

Your gaze suddenly spotted Taehyung's intimidating one, and you smiled at him, seemingly unbothered by the intensity of his eyes.

He gave you a small smile back in response before it turned into a scowl again as the hybrid at your side nuzzled his head into your neck, probably scenting you.

If he was younger, Taehyung wouldn't have minded, he knew that the younger hybrids often did it to get your scent on them, something hybrid parents usually did by their children as it made them feel safer. However, this guy was only two years younger than him, so he obviously knew what he was doing. And you're not stupid, you probably did too. He did not like that one bit, you were his after all. Altough he never said it out loud, he tough that you probably knew that.

Or maybe not, He tough as he glared at the two of you.

-

" Okay, tell me. What's wrong?" You asked Taehyung as you sat down beside him on the couch in your home.

He's been acting weird all afternoon, glaring at you for no reason and ever since you've been home he's been quiet.

" Nothing." He huffed, crossing his arms and looking at the tv, which wasn't even on.

" Tae." You sighed.

He made an acknowledging sound in response.

" C'mon. Tell me what's wrong. I can't smell emotions y'know?" You said, softly brushing some hair from his cheek.

" Why do you let that rabbit hybrid do whatever he wants?" He suddenly asked.

" What?" You asked confused.

" You know a lot about hybrids, why do you let him scent you? You're not his to scent." Taehyung grumbled, now facing you.

You blinked.

" He feels safe around me, I didn't think anyone would mind." You shrugged, now realizing that there indeed is someone who minds.

" I mind." He grumbled.

" I get that now yeah. Why do you even get jealous? You don't seem to care when one of the youngers scent me." You told him.

" They do that because they see you as a mother figure of some sort. Jungkook did it because he sees you as his 'girlfriend' or something." He said.

" Well, it's not like I am tough. I'm sure he knows that I'm single and-"

" You're not single." He cut you off.

" Sorry?" You asked him perplexed.

" I tough we were a thing?" He asked.

" What made you think that?" You asked him.

" The days of my rut." He andwered bluntly and honestly.

Your cheeks went pink at his answer. You had indeed helped him out in his rut, he didn't trust anyone else. But after those days everything had gone back to how it was before, so you tough that he didn't want you as a girlfriend.

" I pleased you for days. What makes you think I would want to touch anyone else or that we're nothing more than friends? I tough we crossed the line that day." He asked concerned.

" I- I don't know. Everything just went back to how things were before your rut, so I tough that you didn't want me like that." You said, avoiding his gaze as the loose thread of the couch was suddenly more interesting.

Taehyung shuffled closer to you, throwing his arm around you and softly kissing your forehead.

" Why would I not want you like that? I just tough that you weren't into skinship as much. You never pet my ears like you pet the rabbit's either." Taehyung said as he leaned his head under your chin, scenting you.

" Sorry." You wishpered.

Taehyung didn't say anything in response, instead grabbing your hand and dropping it ontop of his head.

You smiled but didn't say anything in response, simply complying to his silent wish.

Taehyung's tail wagged as he leaned his head into your hand, your hands were just as good as he imagined.

" Just to be clear, we're now a couple right?" Taehyung asked as he looked at you trough his piercing eyes.

You smiled and nodded, pecking him on the lips.

" Hell yeah we are."

MASTERLIST

[ A/N: BEFORE YOU READ, the reason why this is a drabble of 'love myself: her', is because I might be uploading a ceo Jimin story lol ok just wanted to tell u this this thanx for reading this bye. Also, enjoy!]

You have just arrived at your "fiance's" house. Yes, you have a fiance, tough not by choice. Your family was strictly bussiness orientated, and had therefore signed their firstborn female child over as an unexsisting product as a marriage option if it was necessary. 

You tried to close the door behind you as quiet as possible. 

You had been against this since the moment you've been aware of this.

You were certainly not a "product".

Your fiance, Park Jimin wasn't much better. For most times, you can't seem to read him at all. 

Tough he always does somehow look after you, (for example, you once had gone out with your friend who ended up ditching you, you had called him as last option at 3 am, but he didn't hesitate to pick you up) but he never actually talked to you about his feelings, nor was he affectione or anything else.

Currently, he was sick. And that's the only reason you're here. To take care of him while he's sick. Tough he could simply have his maid take care of him, he never lests her touch him. 

You greeted said girl with a small smile, which she returned, before eventually making your way to his room.

Upon opening the door, you realized that he was not in his bed. 

Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

Where is he?

"He's in his office." His maid said as you closed the door.

" Excuse me? I tough he's sick." You say confused.

" He is. But he still insisted on getting work done, so he's working from his home office." She explained.

You nodded. " Thank you for telling me."

A moment later you're in Jimin's home office, crossing your arms over one another while glaring at him from the doorway.

You cleared your throat before speaking.

" I heard you were sick?" You cocked an eyebrow.

He looked up from his work, and he indeed did not look good.

He was paler than what he's supposed to be, and his cheeks are hollow, a sign that he hasn't eaten today, his usually neatly styled hair was now also a mess ontop of his head, which even tough the current situation, only made him look cute.

" I'm fine." He grumbled with a hoarse voice before turning back to his work.

You rolled your eyes before walking over to him and closing his laptop right before his nose.

To your suprise, he wasn't mad about it at all, it almost seemed as if he wanted you to do it.

" Go lie down. I'll make you some soup." You told him as you felt his forehead with the back of your hand.

Once again he surpised you as he leaned his head in your skin.

You lightly retreated your hand before walking out of his office and down into the kitchen.

After a few minutes of setting up the water and getting the ingredients, a pair of arms wrap around you.

You jump, but the arms do not retract. As you turn around, you realize it's Jimin.

You sigh before getting back to the soup and Jimin sets his head down onto your shoulder, his overheated temperature seeping trough your shirt.

" I tough I told you to go lie down?" You mused.

You were now getting a little concerned, why was your cold fiance acting as if you two were actually dating?

He hummed in response.

" If we had met in different settings, do you think that we'd actually be something?" He asked you.

Your hand stilled on the spoon, the question taking you by suprise.

" I don't know." You shrugg in response.

He suddenly presses his nose in your shoulder, inhaling your scent.

The action causes you to still for a moment.

" Sorry." He wishpers, turning back to just leaning his head on your shoulder while holding you in a back hug.

" Jimin, are you sure that we don't need to take you to a hospital?" You ask him.

He shakes his head, his hair tickling you.

" No. I'm drowsy, and whenever I'm this drowsy I end up spilling whatever I have on my mind. I usually avoid my feelings for you." He bluntly tells you.

You blink before finishing the soup and pushing him down to sit and eat.

After that, you send him straight to bed, but he keeps whining until you escort him upstairs to his own damn bedroom.

" Y/N?" Jimin aks as he's sitting down on his bed, looking at you with small sleepy eyes.

You turn back to him from the door opening you're stood in, cocking your head to the side as a way to tell him to carry on.

He smiles.

" I love you."

Hoseok looks at you for a moment, contemplating on whenether to tell you or not.

" I won't judge you. I know my Hobi. He would never do something like this unless he was forced to."  You told him, your eyes shining.

He looked at you for a hard second before speaking.

" What if I'm not your Hobi?" He asked, his voice giving you shivers.

" If you weren't, you wouldn't have saved me from Crow." You told him, crossing your arms.

" Crow?" A small amused smile made it's way to his face.

"Carrow, Crow same thing." You shrugged.

" Didn't know that you were scheming teachers now." He smirked.

You gave him a pointed look.

" Stop beating around the bush. Just- talk to me. Please." You said, concern swimming in your eyes.

Hoseok studied your honesty before taking a deep breath.

Hoseok sighed as he got up, stretching his arms as he awoke once again to the sound of his parents arguing downstairs.

ever since the return of He Who Must Not Be Named, his parents have been acting weird, leaving more than necessary, no matter the time. Only last night they were out at 11'. 

It was currently holiday, meaning he had more than enough time to spend with his friends. Maybe he'd even lay his feelings for a special someone out in the open, bit he wasn't quiet sure if he was ready for that. He wasn't a gryffindor like Taehyung after all, who shamelessly chases after his crush.

" He'll never listen! He never does." He heard the voice of his mother as he walked down the marble staircase in his pajamas.

Right away he knows they're talking about him. They always are when it's negative.

" We should still try."

an eerie voice suddenly virbates trough the air, he doesn't know who it is, but the voice gives him goosebumps.

" Hoseok, my boy. Do come out from that corner. We're talking about you after all." The voice says in the same eerie way.

He's even more suprised that the man knows his name, but he doesn't care all too much about it. He moves further down the stairs and stops in the opening of the door where his parents are, the man there isn't anyone he knows, but an unspoken name soon crooses his mind.

He Who Must Not Be Named.

The man gave him an even creepier smile, he was dressed in black robes and seemed far from innocent.

" Hello my dear boy. My name is Voldemort, I am sure you've heard about me. You shall adress me as the Dark Lord, as I will offer you a position in my army." The man- The Dark Lord speaks as if it's a happy thing.

​​Hoseok just swallows in response, but The Dark Lord doesn't seem to mind it. As if he had expected his reaction.

" I have a mission for you. I have heard from Draco Malfoy that you're a talented wizard. A strong one. Your mission will be simple. You shall kill Dumbledore for me." He smiles creepily again.

-

" You refused? Than don't get me wrong, but how are you still alive? Doesn't he kill everyone who refuses?" You ask Hoseok in comcern.

He nods.

" He does. But he tough that I had potential. So instead he decided to 'train' me. The things he made me do.-" He cut himself off by closing his eyes snd clenching his fists, tears starting to form.

" I- I need you to know that I didn't want to do it. But it was them or me, Y/N. I don't want to die." Hoseok's sobbing now, his shoulders shaking slightly due to his emotions.

Now this was your Hobi. The Hobi who hated hurting other people. The hobi who liked to be with you all day. Who used to smile like sun and used to have the attitude of an angel. The one who everyone tough was misplaced in Slytherin until he beat someone up bcos they insulted one of his friends. The one who would never hurt you.

" Oh, hobi." You sigh, your insides throbbing for him.

You understood somewhat what he felt. You now knew what he was, but you'd never leave him, and he needed to know that.

You didn't give it a second tough before moving to hug him.

He didn't resist your affection, holding you close while he quietly sobbed in your neck while you held him gently and messed with his hair.

After a moment he calmed down and pulled away, looking at you with soft tenderness in his eyes.

" Why do you still want to be with me? Even after all I've done?" He asked sniffing.

You smiled sadly at him.

" Cause' I love you."

[ A/N: I know that all the chapters till now have been sad & I'm sorry bout it but I promise that there will be sum fluff in the next chapter.]

" Do you even see anything in here?" Jin asked as the two of you walked down into the cave.

It's been a few days since Sapphire and him moved into your home and he's mostly been outside of the cave-part of your home with Sapphire. Now that he's seen rabbits go out alive and go back alive too, he's become curious about what it feels like being down there. The two of you were currently walking down the cave's path.

" Not really. But I can feel the energy flow trough the walls and if you focus wel enough, you'll feel the movements around you trough the floor." You said.

Jin blinked.

You can feel the movements around you trough the floor?

" I'm starting to think that you lost your sanity a while back." Jin deadpanned.

You chuckled, the sound vibrating off the walls.

" I'm starting to think that the Pegasus Tribe is more distant from their own elements than expected." You bit back, tough it didn't feel like an offense, more like a curious statement.

" I geuss. I mean, I doubt I can do anything like what you can do." Jin said sadly.

You hummed in response.

" Tell me Jin, what can you do trough your soulmates bond?" You asked.

" Not much really. I can feel her emotions, when she's near, and I can hear her toughs. That's it, I think." Jin said, tough it seemed as if he was more of a question.

" Really that's all?" You asked, obviously suprised.

" Why do you sound so suprised? Can a soulmate bond be more than?" Jin asked, also suprised.

" Well, yes-" You said, cutting yourself off and pressing your palm against the wall as you stop walking.

Jin is about to ask you why you stopped, when the cave is suddenly dully lit again by flames.

He raised his eyebrows in suprise, Beansprout wasn't here, meaning you did this.

" How even-?" He starts.

You nod with a smile, taking your hand off the wall, tough the flames don't go off.

Jin watches in wonder around the cave, there's much more detail to it now that he can see it clearly.

The walls which he had believed were cold and naked, were actually a warm brown colour with moss growing here and there. Very few small plants are growing all over the place, and small animals hop by Jin's feet.

They're not shy like the animals who aren't soulmated in his own Tribe's space.

" The soulmate bond can be a lot more than just a connection." You smile, as Jin turns back to you with an amazed look.

You're now holding a rabbit, and while they usually feel unsafe when they're taken off the ground, this one seems to like being close to you as you softly pet his head.

" Wait, you can use Beansprout's power?" Jin asked in perplexion, never had he met anyone who could do that.

No one in the Pegasus Tribe or the Unicorn Tribe could, not even the chiefs.

" Yes, I can use his, and he can use mine." You tell him.

" But, how?" 

" Before the days where people could build houses and stables, they used to live on whatever magic they were in touch with. There's the four elements all our soulmates are in touch with, whenether they're aware of it or not, and then there's also the rare cases around it, like poisen." You said as you set the rabbit down again, who still stuck close by you.

" Wait, you mean to say that Sapphire could like, bend water?" He asked excitedly as the both of you walked again.

Your eyes widen in realization.

" Wait, Sapphire is not able to waterbend or something alike?" You asked, obviously suprised.

Jin swallowed.

"No? Is that bad?" Jin asked.

" No. I don't think so? I'm just suprised." You said as you two were now at the bottom of the cave.

The space was at the bottom was bigger than he expected, tough he had always seen it behind the glass, it now seemed to be around twice the size of Sapphire's old stable.

" It's prettier here up close." Jin said as he looked around.

You nod, no words leaving your mouth.

After a few moments of just playing and cuddling with the animals there, Jin's toughs leave to you.

He can see how the animals aren't carefull around you, not in the way they are around him. He can almost feel the connection you have with them. They don't see you as a person, more like an animal, a part of them.

The few animals who are near Jin are curious of him, but they don't cross any lines by getting close to him. The animals near you are all too happy to plop down in your lap and have you run your fingers trough their fur.

" Come sit here." You tell Jin, startling him out of his toughs as you pat the spot beside you.

He doesn't say anything, just does what's asked.

" They're all introverts. They won't reach our to you, you'll have to reach out to them." You tell him as you lift your hand where a tiny mouse peeks at him.

He once again doesn't say anything, instead holds out his hand to touch your own.

To his suprise, the mouse sniffs it before running over his arm and settling down onto his shoulder.

He smiles, and soon reaches out to the other animals as well, some even get bold enough to also plop down in his lap, only to look up at him and see if he minds. Once they know he doesn't, they curl up in a ball of fluff and simply rest there.

Now that he's practically surrounded by it, he realizes. 

The animals here aren't simply here because you're some sort of animal magnet. They're here because they can feel the warmth of your soulmate bond with Beansprout. It's so strong, that even Jin can almost feel it, being basket whitin the whole thing.

" Hey Y/N?" He asks, an idea sprouting in his mind.

You hum in response.

" Do you think you could teach me?" He asks, now also turning to look at you.

" Teach you what?" You ask, holding eye contact.

" On how to make my soulmate bond stronger. Like yours." He asks, even tough it's more of a statement.

You blink at him before smiling.

" I mean, yes. But I could also ask the teacher's here. They know how to learn you best, I think." You tell him.

" Did they teach you too?" He asks.

You shake your head with a sad smile.

" Only partly. My parents were pirates and because I caught a lot of attention from Sea Serpents and animals alike, they decided they did not want me. They dropped me off in the Death Valleys, and that's where I found Beansprout. Or well, he found me. I was just crying the whole time if I'm honest. But what could you expect? I was five when they dumped me there. Beansprout was the one who took care of me. As a human I had a hard time there, but I was safe in his cave. I only moved here when I was eleven, I had heard about the Dragon Tribe and wanted to check it out. We ended up staying here. And I got taught the little things I did not know about our bond." You tell him.

He's suprised to say the least. You were way stronger than you look.

" Wait, you used the bond the way our ancestors did. For survival." He realizes.

You think before nodding.

" I mean, yeah, I geuss so." You shrugg.

He smiles excitedly.

" I want you to be the one to teach me Y/N." 

" What? Are you sure?" You ask perplexed.

He nods enthusiastically.

" Yes. It has to be you. I'm sure of it." 

" Okay then. It'll be quite the trip. But it'll be worth it. We start in three days. So you better be ready by then."
