Jungkook: Planetary (1)

Jungkook: Planetary (1)

In which Jungkook travels the solar system for new things to see; a journey that leads him to his most amazing discovery yet- you.

Every planet has its own ups and downs, highs and lows, perks and negatives. Jungkook likes that a lot- the challenge of what he's gonna face a new one every time he visits another world far away from his home planet. Every since commercial space flights became affordable, humans have been eager to see what's lurking beyond their own habitat; though most stay within the milkyway, on comfortable planets where air is breathable and no dangerous living beings exist.

Turning off all flight engines and getting his space ship ready to stay in place for a bit, he checks every info his systems give him. The air has very good quality, so he's happy to not have to use his heavy suit this time-though even if he had to, he's become used to it.

Grabbing his already pre-packed backpack, he loads it onto his back with a well-pracriced movement, the item smacking onto his back, before he grabs his knife and weapon, just in case. Ever since his encounter with an aggressive hoard of big cat-like predators on the second planet years prior, he's become more aware of the dangers he could face.

The door opens, hydraulic systems hissing as the door lifts, revealing the surroundings to him. It's.. nice. A slightly blue hue to everything, probably due to microorganisms in the air. There's butterfly-like insects flying about in a field of blue flowers close by- still a bit spooked by his sudden landing it seems.

He walks closer after checking twice if his spaceship really is locked, scanning the insects with a small device he always keeps close. Registering them under a simple number combination, he takes good images of them as well to later on document them in his own little library.

He walks into the woods afterwards, fascinated by the natural glow of the tree's flowers blooming, bathing the entire forest grounds in a cool toned hue. Every step he takes is slow, thoughtful, while he scans and saves every bit of data he can on his finds. His device reminds him of the approximate time night will start; only a few hours left of this day, so he won't walk far.

Something on his way catches his eyes; the ground torn open and clawed as if something had fought here- it makes his inked hand slowly fall towards his gun, unhooked the safety before he pulls it out of its holster, just in case. He can hear something; a sound low, similar to a big cat, intimidating and dangerous in its nature. The device vibrates against his hip where he'd placed it, a sign that whatever sound it's picked up belongs to a predator.

He knows already- that's why both hands are holding the gun now.

He carefully rounds a corner, partially hiding behind a tree when he takes in the scene; a large, dark animal whipping it's tail from side to side, prowling on what seems to be a rather.. humanoid creature. The dark cat crouches down, while the alien lifeform in front of it seems exhausted- clothes torn and scratches visible. It seems feminine; reflective eyes looking still ready to fight, even though it's elongated, cat-like ears are drawn back, probably due to their emotional state.

He remembers you.

He'd met you before, when your planet's government officials had visited earth to discuss some political things- you'd been brought to earth with a travelers ticket, and he'd helped you find your way back into your hotel for the night when you'd struggled to navigate the big city. He remembers sharing Mochi icecream with you near Han river- how your eyes had sparkled when the lights began to glow above the waters, ears perking up when someone close by started to sing.

So in that moment, with you in danger and the gun in his hands, Jungkook aims, puts his finger on the trigger- and shoots.

It scares not only the animal, which tries to escape with a yowl before it drops down, but also you; wide eyes looking directly into his direction. He emerges from his hiding place; hands up though his gun is still in his hand. "I'm friendly!" He says, and you watch him warily, before looking at the beast. "Its just a tranquilizer shot. It's not dead, I- can you uhm.. remember me? Jungkook?" He wonders, and you look at him, before making a pinching gesture, probably to say 'only a little.'

He doesn't take it personally- it's been what, four years? Maybe longer.

"You're hurt." He states, pointing at your wounds, squatting down close to you. "I can help." He offers, and you want to shake your head, standing up- just to sway and fall from the bloodloss- jungkook steadying you carefully, before he notices you going limp.

He's not going to take the chance; considering the predator is pretty big, he doubts it'll be knocked out foe long- so he simply throws you over his shoulder instead, bringing you back to his spacecraft, hoping he can somehow help you.

Maybe it's fate he's met you again.

A/N: My Halloween-special: an alternative take on the whole Alien storyline! Make sure to let me know if it was OK haha 💚🎃

The streets were bustling with life around you.

Woman and men alike running about their day, long legs carrying them more efficiently than any car on earth ever could. People here on Kepler- surprisingly the same Name that the Louri use themselves for their planet, didn't need cars all that much. Though humans have managed to get some of them interested, the majority still believes they're more bad than good in the long run. You can understand that even after so many years, they're still wary of human ideas. After all, they've seen what you've done to earth.

They know how to take care of their planet.

You remember the day you were brought to Kepler as part of the 'big Move'. You were promised so much- way too much, as usual- and were left devastated as you realized that your future wouldn't be anywhere near bright and beautiful. After connecting the dots in your head with a few others in tow, you've booked it ever since then- not wanting to be given away to some random Louri as what, a pet? You were still a person.

Or so, you thought.

Louri had all the rights to feel superior to your kind. They were for numerous reasons. Taller, stronger, more efficient in their ideas, more headstrong and more organized. Though crime rates were similar to Earth's golden days, they were kept under much more control. Of course, nowadays, crimes were at an all time low. Now most of them in need for it had humans to take their aggression out on.

You've seen it happen before.

But you try not to think about it as you walk through the isles of the grocery store, fake collar around your neck hopefully convincing enough for the tired looking cashier to just glance over and take it as it was. They didn't care all that much about official regulations after all- the guy had sold booze to an underage boy just minutes before, after all. But you keep your head down still, not wanting to seem rude or stare at the wrong person by accident- almost running into a guy who barely manages to avert you.

You make the mistake of looking up- instantly looking away, changing the isle you're walking in.

His purple eyes are piercing, strong in color, and his entire appearance tall, strong, and confident. It's everything you absolutely do not need in a situation like this- with a fellow Louri in the store, the cashier would be more alert as to impress his kind. You didn't need that at all, your stomach was growling, screaming to be filled with something at this point. You keep on walking, hoping you've lost him- but its futile. You feel like a rabbit trying to outsmart the wolf.

He's staring at you, you know he does.

His piercing eyes have caught yours the minute you've almost ran into him seconds ago- and you know his kind. Natural predators, on top for a reason, species proven themselves to be superior in any way shape and form. To him, you weren't just another stranger. To him, you weren't even a person.

To him, you were prey.

They had it easy, after all. Humans actively craved their protection and ownership for a good reason- alone, you were basically a walking newspaper headline waiting to happen. Law enforcement was weak on protecting humans, a mere slap on the wrist being what most of his kind got for any violence against your own. Was he already planning what to do to you inside his head? What was lurking behind those purple eyes of his, if not just bloodlust and hunger?

He'd leave nothing but bones, you're sure of it.

Putting the food item back into the shelf, unable to read its ingredients anyways, you pit your lips in frustration, turning around to try and leave the store- and ultimately his claws- so you could just find a place to sleep and forget about this. He seemed to be mocking you by taking the exact package you've put back into his hand, walking a few steps behind you- his need to pay perfect as a distraction for you to slither out the store and out his sight.

"Hey, human." A voice calls out.

Lady luck really hated you, didn't she?

You keep on walking, knowing the streets by now. You hope for at least a slight advantage in that department- the small side alleys going to give you a little bit of a favor since you could navigate them way easier than he would be able to with his tall body. But then again, they could see perfectly in the dark with their reflective eyes, and his legs would move way more efficiently than yours. Fuck, why didn't you eat your veggies as a kid to grow taller? Being below average even for human standards was really kicking you these days.

He was still behind you.

And not only him too; in front of you were two chatting patrol officers- minding their own business before their glowing eyes spotted you. "Hey!" One of them barked, voice booming in the small alley as it sends you into a panic, body reacting on instinct as you run back, straight into a broad chest- or stomach, for that matter. This was it. "That yours?" The officer questions what you assume is the Louri currently standing in front of you, hand holding onto your forearm so you couldn't escape again.

"Yeah." He says, to your major surprise. What? He didn't even know you! But then again- maybe he just wanted them gone to not have to explain to them whatever he had in mind with you. "Runs off all the time, sorry." He excuses, as the officers laugh, one of them leaning down to look at you almost mockingly.

"Put a leash on it then." He laughs. "I know one or two who'd snatch this one the second they have the chance." He jokes, before he walks past you two- the hand on your forearm now turning you around, moving away to grab onto the back of your collar- keeping a secure hold onto you as he leads you through the alley, out the other end of it, presumably for more light. It was pretty late after all; both moons already high up in the sky.

"Come on." He says, voice deep but not unfriendly as he leads you onto a dirt path, woods and bushes around you making it hard to see where you're going. You trip, and almost fall, barely holding onto the front of your collar as to not get choked by it on your way down. "Forgot your eyesight was shit." He almost chuckles, before he leans down, glowing eyes the only thing you can see as they reflect what little light hits them just right. They remind you of your dog's whenever you took a photo of it with the flash on by accident. You always felt bad for blinding the poor thing like that.

He simply throws you over his shoulder, deeming it more efficient that way as his arm keeps a tight hold onto your legs so you don't fall down. "Keep your head up or something." He mumbles out, and you prop yourself up by your elbows against his back, warmth seeping into your gold skin the minute it touches. Where was he taking you? Somewhere no one could hear you scream? It would make sense. He seems like a guy to know his way around things.

The ground underneath his shoes changes slowly do sand- the sound of water now clear to your ears as you realize he's taken you to a small clearing it seems- a small entrance to one of the large bodies of water surrounding the towns on Kepler- a natural thing. Visions of him possibly drowning you enter your mind, making you grow nervous as he seems to hold on tighter to your legs- could he read your thoughts? You soon decide not to go down with a fight, starting to try and wiggle out of his grasp, making him scoff a little- or at least that's what you think he did. You're not sure exactly, clawing at his back to somehow get out of his steel grip on you.

But its no use.

"Stop- geez, stop that!" He groans, getting you off his back now with a bit of struggling. "I already regret doing this." He mumbles almost to himself, before grabbing a good chunk of your clothes, dragging you close to the waters.

"No no no-!" You gasp out, clinging onto his leg like a child, while your boots are already soaking wet inside, battered soles no use in keeping the water out. "Just- just let me go, I won't ever cross your way again-" You start to rant, as his eyes widen to a size those moons up ahead would be jealous of it seems. If you weren't in such a frenzy, you would've maybe thought it was almost cute.

If he wasn't trying to murder you, that is.

"I-what?" He questions, furrowing his brows as if utterly confused. "You're filthy. I gotta at least try and clean you before I take you home like this." He says, as you stop struggling for a moment to look up at him. He can see it yet again, that look he's seen before, the look that had made him go after you in the first place.

You were absolutely adorable.

"Now, come on." He says, almost a little annoyed- but there's a glimpse of a smile on his lips you can't quite know if its bad or good.

He carries you up the stairs as well, casually greeting a neighbor who walks downstairs as if its nothing. You feel absolutely uncertain of everything in that moment. Why was he taking you to his home? Was he even? Maybe he was going to eat you at his place?

You've heard the stories about Louri eating humans- the consumption not illegal on Kepler, after all. So when he sets you down onto your feet inside his place, you're very much unsure what to expect. You stay still, waiting for a blow, or something at least- but he just walks past you, toeing off his shoes before he kicks them into the corner next to the door, turning on the lights before he walks towards a small open kitchen. "You're hungry right? I have bought this after I've seen you consider taking this too. Do you like this stuff?" He questions, turning around to look at you with a questioning gaze. "Kepler to human, are you listening?" He jokes, before he snaps his fingers. "Ah- just take your shoes and socks off, I'll give you some of mine in a second. I should probably properly let you clean yourself up before feeding you." He says, tilting his head at himself as he waits for you to take off your shoes and socks, leaving them neatly placed on the side, before he grabs your arm, dragging you a bit roughly towards a room he opens. "Here- you guys have similar stuff right? If you need help, just holler!" He says, before leaving the room- and the door open- to go back into the kitchen.

Should you close it?

You try doing so, carefully, before his voice rings out again. "Don't close the door please- the lock gets stuck sometimes!" He calls out, and you don't know if thats true- or if he just wants to be able to check up on you if you're still there in case you'd try to escape. But then again, the only small window in this bathroom was way too high for you to reach anyways. What did you have to loose at this point?

What are you supposed to do now? There's no use in calling and trying out after all you think, as you call for help- only now noticing that you don't even know his name. "Yes?" He asks, peeking into the room before you point towards the bathtub.

"Am I supposed to just shower, or..?" You question him, and his eyes suddenly widen, as he dashes away into a different room- returning with clothes in his arm, setting everything down on the side.

"Sure, sure! You seemed pretty cold earlier, a hot bath would be best no? Ah, you know what-" He says suddenly, going into the kitchen to do something before he comes inside the bathroom again, pulling his shirt over his head. "I'm in need of one too." He simply comments, as you can't help but stare at the swirling ink on his skin- every motive a certain milestone in his life. You know that much about Louri culture to know that they were body art with more than just pride- its a statement, it finalizes their stance in society as a whole.

"I-uh." You stammer, instantly turning around once he gets down to his underwear.

"What?" He questions, and you don't really know what to say. You really don't want to piss him off and make him change his mind in ending your life after all- but you're also very sure you're not ready to see the stranger naked yet.

"I uh- I, you know-" You say, still having your back turned to him, holding your hand in front of your eyes for good measure as you catch a glimpse of him in the mirror in front of you, surprised face of his burned into your mind just as much as the very prominent V-line. "Could you, maybe, leave your, you know underwear on?" You ask.

"But why?" He questions again.

"I don't even know your name-" You start, and he chuckles.

"Jungkook. My Name's Jungkook- is that all you needed?" He asks, walking towards the bathtub to let in water. "You humans are weird." He chuckles to himself as the water starts flowing.

"No, what I mean-" You say, "is that we humans don't just, get naked. With strangers." You say.

"I've seen human females before. You don't differ that much from my kind, except maybe size- and the one's I've seen lack markings. You don't have those right? but thats fine." He says. "Is that it?"

"No- its just uhm.." You argue again, running out of arguments to say. He's a little right after all- why is it so weird to be naked in front of someone else? "Its.. intimate for us. We uhm.."

"Oh, you only do it with mates!" He suddenly says. "I totally forgot about that, sorry! Most humans I've encountered don't care much about that anymore." He explains, as he moves around. "I can be your mate from now on." He simply says, and your mind goes blank for a second.

"What?" You ask this time for a change, turning around and challenging your inner will to look downwards on him.

"I said I can be your mate. I'll court you if you want. No problem." He says, checking the water temperature before pouring what you assume is soap into the tub. Casually, as if he's not basically proposing a relationship to you. "I'm a very good mate! I've been proposed a lot of relationships before too, so you can actually be quite proud I'm choosing you." He says, before getting into the tub, water rising up as it reaches just underneath his chest now.

"Then.. why are you?" You question him. If he's such a.. well, specimen of a man here, why is he just randomly choosing a stray?

"Cause you looked cute in that store. That look." He says with a boyish smile, eyes almost innocent as he tells you this.

"I.. Jungkook, I was basically terrified." You try and argue, as he just smiles- grins, slightly sharpened canines sitting neatly next to a bunny like smile.

"Then you look cute when you're scared." He says, and you swallow thickly, before slowly getting undressed. Its weird, especially considering that he's looking at you curiously. You understand this is just.. a culture shock for you, but still. "I knew it!" He says as you throw your consciousness out the window- getting undressed as if ripping off a bandaid- quick and painless, before you climb into the tub, water a bit high- but not too much so. Its warm, soothing, the soap smelling nice as you look at him. "You're very pretty too." He says, shamelessly staring at the top of your breasts that aren't submerged in water. "See? We make a great couple already!" He grins, before he leans over, carefully wetting your hair to wash it.

He's a bit like an overgrown puppy like this, you notice- a bit too rough here and there, apologizing constantly- but he means well, you start to believe. He's just a bit.. clumsy. At least in the human sense. For Louri standards he's probably the biggest gentleman to ever exist. You can see why he's apparently seen as highly attractive.

maybe this wasn't all that bad.

Its a little less awkward later, when he starts explaining his tattoos to you; proudly talking about all the hardships he had to overcome in his life already, before you realize something. "So- you're what no? 24? 25?" You ask, and he nods.

"25. How old are you?" He questions. "You smell like an adult woman, though I'm not sure exactly how old you could be. I'm bad at guessing." He says sheepishly, before you answer.

"23. A bit younger." You say, and he smiles.

"Hey, human." He says, and for a moment after waking up, you've almost forgotten what had happened last night. "There you are. I was getting worried." He says, squatting down to where you're sleeping- on a mattress in his bedroom- since he didn't want to quote 'accidentally roll you over and squash you in my sleep'. You appreciated this greatly. "Are you okay? Feeling well?" He questions, and you nod.

"What time is it?" You ask drowsily, and he needs to summon all his self-restraint not to scream at just how.. cute you look, all confused and still comfortable from sleep.

"It's 12." He says.

"Oh-" You start, wanting to apologize, but he's already gotten up to walk out the bedroom.

"I'll heat up some food for you! Since you didn't eat last night. You must be starving." He says, as he walks into the kitchen, voice fading away a bit as you still stay on your bed for a moment. When you finally get up to walk into the kitchen, he's already putting down a bowl of what you assume is pasta and some sort of cheesy sauce. You're not quite sure, but then again, poisoning you would be quite lame as a murder.

You fill a cup with water, feeling a bit thirsty as you drink, a gasp suddenly heard from behind you- and when you turn around after finishing your glass, there's Jungkook, his eyes comically wide open as he stares at you as if you're the alien now. "What are you doing?! Am I treating you that badly?" He begs to know, taking the cup away from you before he cups your face as if to check for something. His large hands are careful this time, eyes worried as he seems shocked.

"What?" You ask, wondering what's gotten him so riled up as he suddenly goes into the bedroom, getting a sweater he throws over your head, helping your hands through the sleeves- unable to see the way you practically drown in the fabric since it's so big on you- reaching almost below your knees.

"I- a friend of mine, Seokjin, he's got a human too, he can help. Yes." He says determined to himself, as he gives you some socks, before looking at your shoes, slipping into his own and throwing on a coat frantically. "No, those are still wet.. aish, doesn't matter." He says, going towards you to pick you up again, this time holding onto you with one arm while yours are wrapped around his neck, his hand carefully on your knees while the other unused one opens his door.

"Whats going on Jungkook?" You ask nervously, while the young Louri walks with a newfound determination, his eyes serious and alert as he leaves his apartment building.

"Water is poisonous!" He grunts out, angry about a white traffic light signalling him to stop and wait. "I get that it was all a bit rushed but- really? You could've said you were upset instead of doing this!" He says, and your eyes grow wider at that. You've always drank the tap water on Kepler, never getting sick from it at all. Was it just the water in apartments? Did you really just poison yourself?

"I didn't know.." You mumble, now becoming a bit scared as well as you hide a bit in his neck from the harsh winds blowing. He seems to notice that shift in emotions instantly, arm around you a bit tighter now as he tries to calm himself down.

"Its okay little thing." He mumbles as he navigates the city, entering what looks like a mall while walking. "We'll fix this. You'll be fine." He murmurs more to himself now than anyone else, as he enters a hallway. You can't read Louri writing, but you do know the common sign for doctors- was he bringing you to one? Now you were getting really nervous. You weren't registered after all- how was he supposed to get you checked when technically, you didn't even exist?

Knocking on the door, he opens after someone tells him to get in. The man behind the desk seems surprised, standing up as he greets Jungkook. "Oh? Who's that?" He asks, voice very pleasant- but not soothing your nerves at all. The stethoscope around his neck wasn't what threw you off- but the entire setting, the entire situation was making you increasingly more nervous.

"I uh.." He wonders for a second, blinking at you, before he simply makes up a name for you on the spot. "Y/N. Got her yesterday- doesn't matter!" He rushes out, placing you on top of the stretcher in the corner of the room where you assume the man- Seokjin?- was going to examine you. "This morning- I didn't pay attention for a second, then I turned around, and she was chugging an entire glass of tap water!" He says with eyes wide as yours, seemingly desperate for help as Seokjin chuckles.

"That's it?" He says, walking over to you with a reassuring smile. "She drank un-purified water." He nods, placing the stethoscope underneath your sweater- cold metal making you flinch a little as its placed on your bare skin underneath.

"Yeah- why're you so calm about this?" Jungkook asks, agitated that his friend wasn't taking the situation seriously.

"Because humans-" He starts, before he begins taking your blood pressure the old fashioned way with a finger on your wrist and his watch on his other arm. "-actually have bacteria in their bodies already. The microorganisms found in our tap water don't make them sick, because their immune system takes care of them." He explains. "I'd be more concerned about her other things. Sweetheart, your blood pressure is very low." He says gently. "Where'd you get her?" He asks towards Jungkook, who scratches the back of his neck, slowly calming down.

"Uh- the grocery store downtown..?" He asks more than states, and the other man seems unsurprising of the impulsive action of Jungkook.

"And you didn't get her registered or checked yet." Seokjin simply assumes right, and you feel a little bad for Jungkook now- the proud Louri man now standing like a scolded child. "I don't need to tell you how irresponsible that is, right? Lift your arms in front of you-" Seokjin instructs calmly. "Good job. Now above your head please." He keeps his examination going, before he gets a few packaged things- needles and what looks like a syringe, and your eyes widen- Jungkook as well seeming to get a little nervous now.

"I know I know-" He says, walking up to you to be closer. "I was going to, promise! And I'm here now too, so I'm already doing the other thing!" He says, while holding onto you as if to sense that you were close to booking it at the sight of whatever Seokjin was putting together at his table. "No need to put her to sleep." He pouts, holding onto you as your eyes widen like dinner plates, panic seeping in as Seokjin scoffs.

"Putting her- Jungkook I'm just taking a blood sample, don't scare the poor thing with your idiotic conclusions!" He scolds, making Jungkook smile sheepishly.

"Sorry.." He apologizes. "But again, I'm doing all the right things now, no?" He questions.

"In the wrong order. She's supposed to get registered first, then you get papers for her, then get her checked." The man sighs, before he holds your arm, effortlessly placing the needle into your vein, blood flowing. "But then again, I'm not too surprised." He sighs out, carefully monitoring the red drops filling the small tube attached to the needle. "I'll do the registration from here, so you won't forget it. Are you going to be sexually active with her?" He casually asks, and you swear you stopped breathing for a second.

"I'm going to be her mate, so probably." Jungkook responds confidently.

"I'll mark it down as a yes then." Seokjin says, smiling at you reassuringly when he pulls the needle out. "Hold this. Not too tightly though- remember she's more fragile than us." He reminds Jungkook as hes careful with his little last of holding a cotton ball to the small wound.

"Also-" Seokjin asks, while typing away. "Why is she not wearing shoes?"

A week later is when the next scare happens.

Jungkook is yet again frantically on the phone trying to reach Seokjin- you're not sure why however, having just woken up from one of the deepest sleeps you've had in a good while. You turn a bit, Jungkooks eyes widening as he ends the call with the young man on the other line, kneeling down to pick you up and bring you into the bathroom- making you very much confused. "Kook?" You mumble unsure, as he sets you on the closed toilet.

"Seokjin said you can explain it better-" He starts, worried eyes looking at you as he sits down on the edge of the bathtub. "And uh- that you'd want to clean up." He explains. You're still not sure what he's talking about. "I- woke up this morning, and there was blood in your bed. Why're you bleeding?" He asks, voice heartbroken. "Does it have to do with your health? Are you dying?" He worries, and you grow a bit red at realizing what he's talking about.

"I- first of all no, I'm not dying, its normal-" You start, as Jungkook instantly whines out.

"You're bleeding, how is that normal?!" He questions, unsure- he worries you might be just trying to tone things down to not worry him.

"We uh.. human woman go through that every month. It's uh.. called menstrual cycle?" You say, and Jungkook raises one eyebrow, now just confused.

"I know what a menstrual cycle is." He says. "My kind's females don't bleed. Why do humans bleed? Isn't that dangerous?" He asks, and you shrug.

"I don't know the exact perfect biological stuff.. but like, basically- god no that's gross, why can't Seokjin explain it to you?!" You whine now, shoulders slumping as you kick your legs back and forth, frustrated to be thrown into yet another awkward situation with Jungkook.

"You're cute." He chuckles. "Okay, I'll.. I'll believe you for now. I'll check in with Jin though!" He warns, as if to make sure you know any lies wouldn't slip past him. You simply nod as he walks out the bathroom, while you step into the tub to undress and clean yourself up.

You're really starting to.. get used to living with him- especially noticing that when he comes back into the bathroom to put your blankets in the washing machine- your first instinct not being to cover yourself. Its not like he hasn't seen you already anyways.

"Ah, by the way-" Jungkook says, peeking into the bathroom while you wash yourself. "I'll have to bring you along later, a few friends of mine have asked me to drop something off for them, and I don't like leaving you all alone." He says, decides more or less, as you just shrug, nodding. "We can buy you new shoes then, since I threw your old one's away- they were really bad anyways, so it was time for new ones! Although I do like carrying you around.." He mumbles the last part to himself while he exits the bathroom, some clattering in the kitchen making you guess at him doing the dishes.

While you've never officially met his friends at all, you do know that by merely taking all the numbers and statistics into account, there's a high chance that at least one of them has.. tasted your kind before, in the more literal sense of the word. It was a thing, after all- and you didn't know if you wanted to be around those people. But then again, Jungkook wouldn't let them do anything to you, would he?

Drying yourself off, you dress into some comfortable clothes- mostly his, since you didn't really own any yet, but that was fine with you. He's already ready to go as he picks you up, shamelessly sniffing your skin before he- licks?!

You grow a bit tense at the gesture, making him chuckle as he simply walks out the door, city bustling about its day as you cling onto him as always.

He goes into a smaller store, shoes lined at the walls, and its all just very generic as he picks out some admittedly very cute shoes for you to wear for now. "You gotta still stay close though." Jungkook warns without any bite behind his words. "Hold onto my shirt or something alright? The package is a little heavy, so I wont have a spare hand to hold yours sadly. And I don't wanna have to go on a murder spree looking for you." He mumbles with a pout as you enter the post office- only now do you realize just how much faster he walks. but then again, his legs are longer too- so he's cheating a little. And you also slightly hope he was joking when he mentioned the murder spree.

He picks up the package, making sure that you're still there while you follow his words from earlier, hand clinging onto the hem of his jacket while he walks, forcing you to almost jog- something he notices with a laugh. "Oh my- baby you could've said something!" He chuckles, slowing down significantly as you catch your breath with a red face. "You're so slow!" He continues picking on you, and you can't say you're not a little annoyed by the end of it. But its fine, you remind yourself.

He means well.

Walking into a different kind of store, he's greeted immediately- though the person almost runs you over, not having seen you. "Oh damn! Sorry, I didn't see you down there!" The man says, dark hair on top of his head slightly curly- but he seems friendly, at least. "Didn't know you kept them around now Kook. This one special?" He chuckles, before taking the package and putting it onto a table close by, where another man sits.

That one looks way more intimidating- boots resting on top of the table, arms crossed in front if his chest as his icy pale eyes seem to scan you for a moment. "Of course she's special-" Jungkook says proudly, placing a hand onto your shoulder before he brings you closer against his side. "She's my mate now!" He says, and the man on the couch scoffs, before chuckling to himself.

"Didn't your mom teach you not to play with food kook?" The man asks, making Jungkook place you on top of his lap as he sits at the table, arms almost protectively curling around you, like you're a toy about to be taken away from him. The thought makes you shudder a bit. The whole mate situation seemed odd to you- was he really trying to win you over, or were you actually just a joke to him. Something to play around with. You didn't know. "Got some meat on her too." He says, before the guy from a few moments ago sits down close to you.

"And smells good too." He smirks, before Jungkook roughly pushes the guy back who's now laughing it off.

"And you're both never seeing her again if you behave like that." Jungkook scolds darkly. "Acting like a pack of rabid animals you two.. as if I'd just eat her." Jungkook says, mumbles to himself as he looks down on you, trying to reassure you with his eyes- before he looks back up. "If you're just gonna stare at her like she's a piece of walking meat I'll leave." He threatens, and both wave him off, seemingly telling him they'll behave.

They chat about random topics- nothing you can quite pay attention to, since you neither know them, nor the topics they talk about. Resting your upper body against his, your head against his chest, you close your eyes, trying to rest for the moment and not disturb him or his conversation.

"She'd be a good partner for Namjoon, no?" One of the guys say, as Jungkook tenses up at this.

"What are you implying, Yoongi?" He questions, as the other voice joins in.

"I mean, it's not like you've claimed her yet- kind of hard to imagine that being possible." The man says. "She's.. tiny."

"Gotta give that to Taehuyng. You really think it'll just work out like that?" Yoongi asks, as Jungkook suddenly shakes you awake. "What now? Hit a nerve?" Yoongi smirks. "You can always just leaver her here too." He says with his eyes fixated on you, as Jungkook picks you up, walking towards the exit.

"You're both disgusting." He says as he walks out, leaving an actually surprised Taehyung- and a laughing Yoongi behind.

After that day, things have.. settled down a little.

Jungkook makes sure that you never forget he's not keeping you as a pet- but as a mate after all, clearly trying hard to impress you. Buying plush carpets because your feet get cold easily and you like to nap on the floor, cooking regularly even though he's told you he actually didn't do it before you started living with him, or building a new bed frame. Hes on his knees currently, reading the instructions while occasionally going back to work on it. 'It has to be perfect' he'd explained to you. 'A bed is the modern version of a nest. And the nest is where mates come together after all.'.

He's definitely not shy about it.

And you've come to grow pretty attached to him as well by now- you can see that he really means all well, and tries very hard to make things right for you. Sometimes he overshoots the target a little bit, but that was totally fine. After all, he was learning about your kind the same as you were learning about his.

"I need a break." He sighs out, leaning against the almost-finished bed frame for a second. "This is harder than it looks, don't look so smug!" He chuckles, opening his arms as an invitation for you to come cuddle him. He'd been very clear on making sure you knew that he liked physical affection a lot- craving you close any second of the day. Its an instinct, you guessed- men of his kind always tried keeping their mates as close as possible, since they didn't stay together long after all.

He leans down to rest his face in the crook of your neck, lips ghosting over the skin before he licks over it as he's done before. He sometimes just randomly does this- you've never quite asked why. This time however, you can suddenly feel him nip the skin a bit- teeth biting, but not breaking flesh. You gasp out, as he chuckles, holding you a bit tighter. "I hope you know how much I'm holding back right now." He hums against your skin, making your insides tingle. "Its really hard though." He mumbles, eyes holding something devilish to them as they look down on you.

And for some reason, you know for sure he's not talking about devouring you in a literal sense.

"I want to kiss you." He suddenly says out of the blue, and you turn around in his arms, facing him while straddling his lap now. "Do you want to kiss me too?" He questions, and you think only for a moment, before you nod. You actually really want to- not because he's doing all of this, but because.. you've genuinely come to really like him, with all his weird habits and quirks. Underneath all that awkward and admittedly very bold personality is a very caring young man- and you'd be a fool not to fall for him. "Really?" He asks happily, sharp canines on full display as he grins at you boyishly.

"Hmhm." You answer, nodding before he leans towards you, hands on your back steadying you as if he wants to make sure there's nowhere to run for you once you've sealed this deal.

As if you'd ever run from him.

You don't really know what you've expected, but everything about his kiss was just so undeniably him. From the almost hurried way his lips placed themselves onto yours, to the eager motion of his tongue instantly darting out to open your mouth for him. He's a bit too bold, a bit too forward, but it never comes to a point of making you uncomfortable. He seems to know how to push your buttons, always aware of the smallest changes in your behavior or body language.

He's way more aware of things as people around him might think.

You've noticed it a lot recently. Seokjin was someone who treated him more like a young boy than a man, babying him a little, while Yoongi seemed to always bee a bit too harsh on him. Taehyung was like the little devil on Jungkooks shoulder most of the time- feeding him ideas that shouldn't ever be proposed to an impulsive person like Jungkook. In a way, it made sense why Seokjin said that you're the best mate he could've chosen- you're his outside perspective on things, a steady point in his life that would always be there- but would also always try and do whats best for him.

And god knows, Jungkook deserves the best.

"Okay- and, if someone rings the doorbell, or knocks, do not open!" He instructs you, suit underneath his padded jacket without any creases. "Not even Seokjin! And most of all don't open to Yoongi- god knows I don't want him anywhere near you after what he'd said-" He rambles, as you smile at him, reaching up to place a kiss on his cheek.

"I'll be fine Kook. Go, you'll be late!" You say, as he nods with a somber look on his face. He closes the door with hesitation, and it actually does feel a little odd to be alone in his big apartment for the first time.

He's been rambling about his job the day prior when you'd asked him about it- he's only working a regular office job at a small company, but he likes his coworkers and the fixed working hours. He also told you how upset he was he couldn't bring you along to work- but that his office had strict policies about humans there, and he'd never be able to push anything through. You'd told him that it was totally fine, and that he didn't need to worry- but it was Jungkook. He always found something to worry.

And truth be told, some things do come true, even if you don't think they do. Because only a few hours later, you're awoken from your nap by someone knocking on the door. Curious as to who it might be, you walk up to the door, carefully and most of all quietly moving the small stool in front of the door to be able to look through the peephole. And low and behold, there he stood-

Min Yoongi.

It sent shivers down your spine the moment the Louri seemingly made eye contact with you through the peephole- though you know he couldn't be aware of you, right? "I can literally hear you breathing, human." He says, and you trip from the stool, painfully falling down and onto one of your knees, hissing out. He's chuckling on the other side. "Hope you didn't bust your head open little thing." He says amused, while you groan.

"What do you want?" You question.

"Wanna talk to Jungkook. Have some grown up talk with him, so to say. Pets gotta wait outside." He muses, as you slowly get up again, moving the stool to the side.

"He.." Should you tell him he's not home? Probably not a good Idea. "He doesn't want to talk."

"Bullshit." Yoongi answers. "You're alone, aren't you?" He asks, and you're quiet, not wanting to answer that question. "He would've come running the moment you hit the floor." Yoongi chuckles, before the sound of his voice seems closer- Yoongi on the other side having squatted down to your level to talk through the door to spook you for his own pleasure. "Did you know I know his passcode for the door?" He says, and you scoff.

"You're bluffing." You say. Jungkook would've told you- he would've never left you alone if there was just the fraction of a chance of someone entering your shared home while he wasn't there to keep an eye on you.

When suddenly, you can hear someone type on the number pad outside, before the familiar chime rings out- door unlocking.

You've never ran so fast in your life.

Louri were taller by nature, so your first instinct was to use that to your advantage. There was a small gap between Jungkooks main closet and the bedside table- too small for Jungkook to place any furniture or use it, but just enough for you to squeeze into, which you instantly did, crawling way back until your back hit the wall behind you. You can hear Yoongis footsteps around the house, before his icy stare finds your own terrified eyes, his head tilting to the side as he walks up to you. "Come on now, stop being difficult." He grunts out as he reaches for you, hand unable to get a secure hold on you. You even bite after his hand for good measure, getting his finger as he retreats his hand from shock. "Did you just fucking bite me?!" He gasps out, before another voice is heard.

"As she should." Jungkooks voice barks out. "What the hell are you doing inside my apartment?" He demands to know, and you can see the way his forehead glistens- he probably ran here. But why? Did he forget something? Was lady luck finally on your side for once, and gave you a second chance in life?

"Jin said he was pissed at you missing her appointments again, so I volunteered to get her instead!" Yoongi said, while Jungkook holds onto the front of his shirt with an iron grip, eyes determined to do whatever necessary at the prospect of him being a danger to you. "Fuck- you can call him, how the hell did you even know I was here?!" He wonders, before Jungkook finally lets go of him, walking towards you, your body instantly crawling towards him and back into the safety of his embrace.

"I could sense her fear." He explains. "I told you; she's my mate." Jungkook says calmly. "We kissed- sealed it." He says, before you hiss when he lifts you a bit too quick- his eyes instantly zeroing in on you, gaze alarmed at that reaction. "You're hurt." He just says, before he notices the way your knee was already an angry red, blood underneath the skin ready to form a bruise in the next few hours. "You fucking piece of shit-" He starts, snarling at Yoongi who seems genuinely a little scared of Jungkooks sudden charge at him.

"Jungkooks Stop!" You yell, holding onto his arm as if that would've done anything if he really wanted to throw a punch at the older Louri. "I fell by myself. I promise- that was my fault." You explained, and Jungkooks entire demeanor changes in the matter of seconds, instantly holding you again, kissing the side of your face before nuzzling your neck- something he does quite often whenever he's confused or distressed. Maybe it was just a cultural thing.

"Lets get you to Seokjin then." He mumbles out, but not without sending Yoongi a threatening glance.

Namjoon was a nice guy.

Tall, for human standards at least, and a gentleman. It made Jungkook want to vomit at the mere fact that everyone around him though he was the perfect match for you- not Jungkook. And it also led to the situation at hand, your almost naked body underneath him on his finally finished bed- squirming around under his careful touch, completely at his mercy. It was him making you feel this way, him making your eyes gloss over with need, him touching you in ways that human could never even imagine without his permission.

"As if I'd let some flimsy human take you away from me." He grumbles into the heated kiss between you two. He's desperate to be a good lover now, to show you he's the perfect person for you. You're his mate after all- you've kissed, you're doing it now! Every kiss was sacred, every time his lips touched yours the same as a whispered promise. He was yours, as much as you were his. "You're mine, no?" He asks, as you nod, unable to do anything else as you hold onto his arms. "You are.." He grins, sighing out as his hand notices the way you rut into him, arousal clear as day as if seems to fill the entire room with its scent. It almost makes him feel dizzy, as if he's high on something- and maybe thats true in that moment.

"Jungkook-" You say, breathlessly, and he already loves the way you say his name like that. He's at your command the second its caught by his ears, teeth nipping at your neck adoringly, a way of bonding as he'd told you. He was simply marking you as his, showing others that you were claimed, no longer available or allowed to be imagined inside anybody's heads without his permission. He was your mate.

"So pretty.." He muses, as he finally manages to get rid of the last pieces of his own and your clothing. He already knew you were pretty- he's seen it the night he'd brought you home, months ago. But every time he saw it, he felt euphoric. He could really understand why it was such an intimate thing for humans to be bare to their mates like that. It felt almost forbidden to him as well to touch your soft skin like this, no barriers between his fingertips and your bare body. He didn't know what to touch first, needed all of you, at once.

"Love." He suddenly says, as he slowly, carefully, pushes inside you. "Thats what your kind calls our mating bond." He explains, holding onto your hips with a grip sure to bruise- but you don't mind. You'd never mind any of the marks he gives you, because you know he'd never hurt you on purpose. He's not like that- nothing like the monsters you've been told and warned about. "You say you love someone." He continues, eyes carefully watching you with a glazed over hue, as if he's a little drunk. But he's not- in fact, its the middle of the day, a rare day off for him these days, a lazy day as you've both intended it to be.

With the way your chest rises and falls, and his skin starts to glisten from sweat, it doesn't seem like you're both so lazy any longer.

"I love you." He says, and you look at him as if unsure if he really knows how much that means to your kind. "There's no word for it in my culture. I like having one. I love you." He says, grinning down at you. "I love you, and I love the sight of you like this.." He hums out, a hand over the slight bulge of your lower body, where he's pushing himself inside. "You're so small." He teases, before he starts to move in a slow pace- to test the waters with you. "So tiny. And yet look at you taking almost all of me." He praises, before he picks up his tempo, moving a bit faster, making your eyes roll back as you arch your back up from the mattress. "So so pretty.." He hums out, before he mouths at your neck again, licking along the side of your neck before his teeth scrape the skin, biting gently.

It takes a moment to register as it happens, his timing perfect as he bites down harshly as soon as he notices your climax approaching. You don't know if you gasp from pain or pleasure- but that's his plan. He'd never hurt you on purpose- he'd never make you uncomfortable. He's claiming you, finally, as his and only his. This was the final part of his bonding with you, this was all that was left to do to finalize your relationship.

A bit rushed, a bit hectic, and yet so utterly Jungkook. He knows he loves you like he never loved before, he knows he wants to keep you at his side for as long as you'll live- so why not just do it? There was nothing speaking against it in his mind, nothing holding him back as he slips out of you, wet cock rubbing over your center, making you squirm as it keeps moving over your still sensitive clit- before he finally spills, cumming over your stomach, sight making him breath heavily.

You're his. In every way now.

"You should've seen the guy!" Yoongi complains- by now you know how to translate his body language. He's most of the time not serious with what he says, just a bit grumpy and mean. He's had a rough childhood Tae had explained- and you understood that. "Almost ripped my damn head off, geez." He mumbles, before taking a sip of his cold coffee.

"You broke into my apartment AND threatened my mate." Jungkook pouts playfully, holding you a bit tighter on his lap. "I was totally in the right." He defends himself, and Seokjin sighs.

"Next time we'll inform you prior." He says, smiling reassuringly towards you. "That must've been scary to see. I'm surprised you stayed with Jungkook so willingly." He wonders, as you just lean onto the man in question, snuggling up since the garage of Seokjins home was pretty cold.

With a smile on your lips, you lay your head against his chest. "I'll never be scared of Kook." You say- and his arms hold you just a little tighter at those words.

Jungkook is humming to himself in a good mood as he cuts open a cardboard box delivered, knife cutting through the tape holding everything safely together.

Almost instantly you're in the room with him as well, ducking under one of his arms to catch a glimpse of what he's gotten delivered. "Hey- I've got a knife here, careful." He chuckles, gently pushing you a bit so you sit a bit further away as he pulls out the plastic wrapped item. "Oh, nice! I was worried it might be a little too small.." He mumbles more so to himself as he opens the vacuum packed item, fluffing it up as you watch with wide open eyes.

"You bought it!" You tell him, amazed, and he grins, opening another sealed back that contains a fitting pillow for the human-sized pet bed he'd bought for you. It was a little on the more expensive side for him- but to see your eyes sparkle like that, and watch you grab and drag is towards a sunny spot near his windows is enough of a reward for it.

It's something that you never really experienced prior to living with Jungkook. He's offering you more than just a home, or basic care- he offers love, a feeling of belonging, comfort and a sense of security.

His kind is, on earth, often times compared to dragons for their heavy and alligator-like tails and uniquely diamond-shaped pupils, but mostly for their behavior of collecting things. Food, money, candy- some even collect blankets or pillows or plants, there's nothing one won't attempt to hoard more of if it brings them joy or happiness. Jungkook himself is pretty tame for a Xiro- he only really hoards food and snacks at home, but has started to become rather fond of spoiling you instead of himself. He's got a whole collection of hybrid stuff- medications, supplements, snacks, collars and toys- it's all there, even emergency medical stuff, just in case, because you never know.

He's not only your owner after all, but your mate- lifelong companion, your protector and lover, and he won't ever give you a reason to complain about that fact.

He folds the cardboard box together to throw away later, before he walks over to you, playfully manhandling you around to lay in the, for him way too small, bed with you on top of him. "I might have to put it away again if you lay in it more than you want to be with me.." He chuckles, though you know there's a hint of truth in his joke.

Jungkook is awfully possessive when it comes to you and your attention.

"No, I'll always like you most." You purr quietly, and he offers a happy sounding growl before he closes his eyes, basking in the sun shining onto his body with you. "Nap time?" You ask, and he chuckles, nodding.

"Nap time."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Your favorite way of cuddling has become to sleep almost on top of Jungkook.

He's warm, like the sun, and strong enough not to be fazed at all by your added weight on top of his chest either. It also reassures you during sleep that he's still there, and that you're not alone.

Jungkook himself loves it too.

He knows it's sometimes tough to adapt your body to his nocturnal sleep schedule- but very amusingly to him, you're totally capable of sleeping anywhere he takes you as long as he's in reach. It's made it very easy for him to take you to work for example- his job being what brought him to you in the first place, though tonight he's simply offering company to his friends at the small restaurant one of them owns.

It's then that a couple of police officers walk in, clearly not there for simple food.

"Sir- can I check your papers for her please?" A more elderly guy in official uniform asks Jungkook, looking at you who's currently sleeping rolled up in a blanket-burrito on one of the nearby chairs close to Jungkook. It's common for law enforcement to check ID's of hybrids these days, since a lot of them are illegally trafficked on to his planet, cases rising rapidly for reasons no one's entirely sure of yet. It's a little sad to him how earth and humans seem to try and 'get rid' of your kind so shamelessly- but he's no politician, nor does he want to really involve himself into this mess at all.

He's got you, and that's all that matters.

"Sure." He says, used to the procedure as he moves to grab his bag to fetch his wallet. "I only got her identification card with me though, I hope that's alright." He mumbles, pulling out the card in question before he gets out his own, already aware that that's gonna be asked next.

"That should be fine. Just gotta match up the ID tattoo on her to make sure if you don't mind." The officer says, and Jungkook nods.

"Yeah sure." He offers, moving towards you to carefully run a hand over your shoulder first as to not startle you on accident. "It's right here." Jungkook shows the inside of your ear, the officer matching it up by sight with what's written on your ID card, before he nods and gives him back his items.

"Thanks. It's just a routine thing- cases have been popping up left and right these days.." The man sighs, writing something down in a booklet. "Her medical records all up to date?" He questions, and Jimin nods.

"She's scheduled for tomorrow for her yearly vaccinations. They're expiring in two months I think, but we wanna travel soon so I wanted to get it done sooner rather than later." Jungkook chats, and the officer nods.

"Very good. If only everyone was like this.." the man sighs, watching as his coworker seems to argue a bit with a young man and his own hybrid next to him. "I won't bother you any further. Have a nice night." He offers, before leaving to aid his colleague in the argument he's involved in.

You move around a little, wiggling closer to his chair as he sits down again, both Jin and Taehyung emerging from the kitchen, sitting down. "Man, humans are a struggle.." Seokjin sighs, leaning his head on his hand. "Why can't they be nocturnal? I've been working all day, no breaks!" He whines, and you wiggle out your arm to reach out and pat the older man's head. He looks at you with squinted eyes at that, an action that years prior would've scared you-

But Xiro people are gentle giants, you've come to learn.

"Hah, if Jungkook wasn't written on all the documents I'd steal you right away." He complains, and Taehyung laughs at Jungkooks playfully angry face, his tail swiping from left to right.

"You keep your grabbing claws to yourself old hag." He insults the oldest at the table, who's mouth gapes open at the audacity of the youngest.

"How could you!" He scolds. "Younglings these days, wear a sleeve full of ink and think they're free to do whatever!" He shakes his head, making you giggle.

You love the carefree banter Jungkook has with his friends.

You love hanging out with them, their friendship something not commonly seen on earth anymore since the collapse. People aren't really too warm anymore on earth, rather concerned with finding a new villain to blame for everything wrong every day it seems like. So in a way, you're glad Jungkook chose to take you with him back when he volunteered to help give Hybrids back on earth their identification tattooed. It was a form of social work, a publicity thing created to familiarize humans with the Xiro people and their planet. It worked.. mildly successful.

Though it was a win in the lottery for you.

"I should probably head home, she needs to sleep in a proper bed." Jungkook says after a moment, and Seokjin nods.

"Hah, I always forget they sleep during the night. You could just leave her here though-" He offers, though he receives a glare from the younger alien.

"Absolutely not. Get your own, old man." He scoffs playfully, getting up to put on your coat for you. It's pretty windy on his planet tonight, so he's learned to bundle you up to prevent you from getting cold.

"Pah, I just might! Stupid kid." He growls, shaking his head. "Here, take those though. Poor thing is probably living off of nothing but pre-made meals." He gives you the bag full of boxes filled with what he knows are your favorite foods.

"I cook for her, thank you." Jungkook rolls his eyes, before he properly says his goodbyes, your hand in his as you walk home in the lowering suns of his planet.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

You remember how you'd met him.

He was intimidating to say the least- ink underneath his skin swirling around slightly, eyes sharp and piercings glimmering in the lights around him. His tall statue and rather muscular physique definitely didn't help his case either- so it shouldn't have been surprising to him how you'd glare at him as if ready to strike if he'd attempt to harm you.

"You're cute, really, but you gotta show me that pretty ear of yours." He'd chuckled softly, head tilted innocently and his smile almost docile.

A careworker wants to scold you, reaches out- but the man who's name tag read 'JUNGKOOK', holds out his hand in a silent demand to let him handle it himself.

"What can I do to make you more comfortable?" He'd asked, and your ears had slowly relaxed, surprise having caught you off guard. No one's ever asked you a question like that prior to him- you didn't know what to answer to that. "Hm?" He'd pressed softly, and you'd shrugged, looking around nervously. "Thats a pretty tail you have there. My kind has them too." He'd smiled, a grin more akin to a rabbit than the dragons his kind gets compared to, heavy alligator-like tail swaying behind him as if to show it off.

"...is it heavy?" You'd asked bluntly, and He'd laughed, shaking his head.

"Not really no. I guess because I grew up with it, I never really thought about that." He'd told you, casually readying his tattooing equipment while talking to you. "But as a child, my mothers would tell me how I'd always cause trouble with it. I'd empty any table low enough for it to reach!" He'd giggled, and you'd smiled at the thought of the younger version of him knocking down items from tables and shelves, too clumsy yet to quite think about it all.

"I burned mine on a candle once." You'd meekly told him, petting your own tail in search for comfort as you remembered the memory. He must have bright and colorful memories of his childhood- while you barely have anything worth keeping in mind, you'd thought to yourself.

"Well, you better make sure you don't get it hurt again, little thing!" He'd simply offered, before his surprisingly gentle hands had rubbed some numbing cream on the inside of your ear. "Or... maybe I could?" He'd asked, and at that, your ears had fully turned towards him, and made him smile. "Ah, adorable, really!"

"You'd.. take me in?" You'd asked, and He'd shrugged.

"I wasn't planning on bringing an earth-hybrid home-" He'd smiled, before the tattoo gun had buzzed to life. "But looking at you, I feel like I've found what I didn't even search for."

And today, the tattoo on your ear isn't just a Number.

It's also a memory, forever cherished by the both of you.

There's a low rumbling sound in his chest as he holds you close to himself, nosing along the crook of your neck.

It sounds awfully like those CGI-Dinosaurs in movies back on earth- and you know he's just as dangerous as the directors of these sci-fi movies intended their creatures to be. His heavy, snake-like tail has you wrapped securely to himself on his lap, hands free to roam over your body as if he needs to re-paint your image back into his mind using only his fingers and palms. His tongue traces over your skin, marking you, seemingly on a mission to find the perfect spot, before his teeth bite the skin, leaving his mark on yoir body amongst so many others, chuckling when you begin to squirm a little at his actions, your soft cat tail a stark contrast to his own.

You're like the prey in the python's grip- but this predator has chosen to feast on you in different ways.

"Hm.. are you happy, little thing?" He asks you, and you nod, leaning into him, your soft cat ears brushing against his cheek as you purr- a sound he's learned earth's cats make when they feel good, making him smile. "I'm glad." He offers, laying down with you as his tail curls around the both of your bodies, warm orange glow from outside his home bleeding in and bathing you both in shades of gold. It doesn't matter though how warm the suns on his planet shines-

Your favorite sunspot will always be him.

"I love you." He says, chuckles right after it. "Thays how you say it on earth, right?" He wonders, and you turn a bit, looking at him.

"Depends." You say, chin on his chest while his hand runs over your head, coming to rest on your lower back where your tail is just about to begin. "What do you wanna say?" You ask, and he hums as he thinks.

"I asked Seokjin if he knew an earth-expression for deep emotional care and longing. A word or sentence to make sure your mate knows how much you want to stay close to them, both physically and any other way." He says, and you blush, turning your head to the side on his chest.

"Hm, guess that's love, yeah." You nod. "How do you say it here?" You wonder, and he smiles, hand running up and down your back.

"I commit my life to you." He says softly, hand still before you look up at him. "Thats what we say here- and that's what I say to you." He mumbles, and you can't help but stare for a good moment.

Jungkook and you have been intimate before. You've told each other that you deeply care, that you're mates, that you're in a relationship. But it's the first time you ever talk about love, about something so meaningful as.. well, this. And hearing it from him in such honesty makes your heart race like never before.

"Dont just stare, little thing. Kiss me!" He playfully growls, pulling you up and closer to press his lips against yours, laughing along with you as you roll around in the sheets, getting lost in love and happiness together.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Humans would look at you both in absolute confusion if they saw you like this, you think to yourself.

Freshly showered and dressed in comfortable clothes, you're halfway laying on the fluffy carpet on the floor, and also somewhat in Jungkook's lap. Well- your butt is in his lap, legs and upper body not- but he's positioned you like this himself, and you've got snacks and TV, so you don't complain.

He's humming the tune of the commercial playing to himself as he brushes out your tail with gentle strokes of the specially designed hybrid brush- your eyes growing heavy with tiredness after the things you've been up to not even an hour prior. Your neck and thighs still sting a little faintly from his lovebites he leaves every time you both make love. You don't mind them though, not one bit.

"Will you be okay later?" He asks, referring to when he'll put you to bed, while he'll go to work later. Jungkook would love to have you sleep close to him at all times- but sometimes, like today, he just forgets that you're not nocturnal like he is, and while you've adjusted somewhat to that, he should've saved up his physical acts of loving you for after he's done working, considering how much be tends to tire you out with that. He teases you a lot about that, but its also another endearing thing to him.

You never complain about anything. You adapt freely to his way of living- so he's doing the best he can to make it all as easy for you as he can.

You nod at his question, yawning as if reminded of your exhaustion, and he chuckles, hand smacking your butt playfully, causing you to whine in complaint- the skin still a little tender from earlier. "Sorry." He says- but you know he's not.

You stretch and turn on his lap, and he smiles watching you, hand running over your exposed stomach, before he leans in to kiss one of his bites at your neck. "Hm I don't wanna leave you here.." he complains a little, moving around to pull you properly on his thighs, though you just hug him, head leaning against his shoulder. "And you're freshly marked up too. Won't have to worry one bit about someone trying to steal you away from me " He purrs, and you just shrug, clinging onto him. "We could take the round bed I bought with us to my studio. Hm? You could always sleep there then, when I'm working." He offers, and you nod after a moment.

He laughs, before he gets up, puts you on the sofa for a moment to get everything ready for his plan. It's a great idea- that way, you'll be comfortable just like at home, and he'll have you close and won't have to worry about you.

When he later comes to work with both you and the round pet bed in a bag, his coworker just shakes his head with a slight smile, already used to the younger alien's actions from years of experience. You easily fall asleep under blankets he places over you after setting up the bed in the corner you choose for yourself, and he already knows he feels a lot better like this, knowing he'll be able to look after you more properly this way.

When his first client comes in, Jungkook explains that you're his- that you're his mate, not just a companion or pet as humans call it, and the young man is understanding.

"I've been visiting the carecenter in the capital." The man named Jimin says, as Jungkook puts down the tracing paper on his back. "I'm worried though- online research made it seem as if Algol isn't a good environment for them.." he mumbles, and Jungkook shrugs.

"She's perfectly healthy, and has been living here for more than two full cycles. Yeah, their circadian rhythm can sometimes make things a bit tricky, but I've gotten used to handling it whenever necessary." He explains, making sure to do his work properly. "You'll have to really study what they can and can't eat though. A lot of vegetables we eat here are poisonous to them, and some of them can't digest dairy well." He offers.

Jimin sighs. "That sounds intimidating." He huffs almost disappointed, watching you roll over in your sleep, tail limp as you're out like a light. "But they seem like such good company."

"They are." Jungkook agrees. "She's probably the best fitting mate I could've ever found." The artist shrugs, beginning to tattoo.

"I mean, they did mention in research that earth-hybrids and Xiro people are surprisingly very compatible, even in genetics." He informs the younger alien. "Have you heard of the couple that recently became parents? And the child is perfectly healthy too."

"Hmhm, I've heard." He nods. "Maybe it'll help our declining birth rates, at least a little."

"Have you thought about having one with her?" Jimin asks, and Jungkook nods.

"One day, probably. We both want that. But not right now. There's no rush." He says as he follows the lines he'd prepared on the skin of the older man.

"Understandable." Jimin nods.

And Jungkook doesn't stop softly smiling as he works, and thinks about your future together.

Could I get greedy jk's reaction to mc making biscuits?

Main part

Jungkook has started to research what some of your odd habits mean.

One of them is that odd thing you do with your hands sometimes- kneading mostly certain fabrics and items in a rhythmic manner these days, more and more often. Just like right now, as he's just come home from work, jacket still holding the sense of the outside fresh air on it, you on his body, sprawled over him.

And there it is again- your hands grabbing and letting go of the soft fabric, left, right, left, right. A purr is accompanying it, your eyes are closed and body relaxed- and by now, he knows what it is.

You feel happy, secure, and you want to bond with him.

He takes this as a huge comlliment- not only the fact that you feel so good in his care, but also that you're this open considering how much humans made hybrids hide their instinctual habits most of the time. With him, you seem to be very free and confident by now, growing day by day, the alien able to offer you a proper place to do so apparently.

You deserve it.

Even after he takes the thick jacket off and lays down in just a simple shirt, one of your hands still continues to make biscuits on his abdomen- only stilling when you finally fall asleep deeply, something that used to scare him when it first happened. But he knows that it's just another proof of your feeling of security with him, trust placed that he will protect you while you rest.

And he will.

For now, and forever.
