Jeno woke up with strong arms wrapped protectively around his body, he looks up as he felt the person groan from the movement and nuzzled his nose on the hybrid's hair.

The blond gasps to see it was Jaemin who was in deep sleep right beside him and remembered the incident from last night.

He squirmed on his spot making the werewolf open his eyes, "let go, please," Jeno said with tearful eyes as he whispered.

The alpha raised a brow but did it anyway once he saw the hybrid tearing up. Jeno moves back almost falling off the bed as he trembles.

"I-I'm sorry, I wa-wasn't supposed to be near y-you," he said hastily. Jaemin reaches a hand towards the hybrid's face but stops as the latter flinched, "p-please don't do it, I-I'm sorry!" He cried.

Jaemin sat up and frowns when the boy sobs with his legs pulled up to his chest and arms covering his face which was on his knees, his ears were flat as his tail was lowered.

The alpha slowly approaches the hybrid who heard the shuffling of the bedsheets and looked up. He then pulled the covers to shield himself, "no! Please, I don't wanna! S-stop!" He screams with his eyes shut.

Jaemin was already in front of him and places his hands on Jeno's cheek, cupping his face as he wipes the tears with his thumbs. "It's just me, I'm not him and I won't do what he did. I won't hurt you kitten," he whispers gently.

Jeno whimpered and slowly opens his eyes before latching himself on Jaemin's chest as he cried. The alpha holds the boy tight and sways them side to side as he tried to calm him down.

"What the hell are you doing Jaemin? Don't you hate cats? Isn't that what they taught you? Cat and dogs are enemies," Jaemin thought but brushed it off.

He felt bad, of course he did. No one can hurt Jeno the most but him.

They shouldn't touch Jeno, only he can.

Jaemin sighed at his unwanted thoughts. He admits he was being an asshole most of the time, but it was because he was taught like that.

He was raised at the thought of cats and dogs not being able to get along and therefore are enemies.

He was raised like that, to hate cats and also grew more hatred towards them once his uncle got shot from one that was a part of a gang.

Thus, when Jeno came along, his inner wolf self acted before he could even think properly. He wanted to maybe befriend the boy, but his alpha ego was too stubborn for that.

Jeno hiccups as Jaemin patted his back, "Want to eat something?" He asked as he felt the hybrid nod against his chest and sees his tail now swaying softly.

He carefully picks the hybrid up and scratches the behind of his ear as he brings them downstairs with Jeno clinging onto him with his legs securely wrapped around his torso while he purrs gently.

The werewolf places the hybrid on the kitchen island to start cooking but halts when the boy whines, "Jeno," he said with a stern tone in instinct.

Jeno flinches and cowers down as he tears up again, "a-alpha," he mumbles and avoids to meet Jaemin's gaze.

The alpha softens a little at the sight, Jeno looked so frightened, which he always is whenever Jaemin talks to him like that. But after last night, it just made the latter realize even more how terrified the hybrid is.

Only because of him. He made it worst and treated the boy like some stray cat instead of an indoor pet.

"Kitten," Jaemin gently calls as the hybrid looks up with his ears twitching. It made the werewolf smile a little as he found it adorable.

"Alpha," Jeno repeats with a small voice. Jaemin could see he was in between scared and a bit happy, maybe because Jaemin's talking to him.

Happy because the werewolf was being genuinely nice for once, but also scared that he might mess up and make the alpha go mad again. And he does not want that to happen.

Jaemin scratches the hybrid's ear making him purr and lean in to his hand as his fluffy white tail sways from side to side.

The alpha leans his forehead against the hybrid, "kitten," he grins as the boy blushed and hummed. "I'll cook you some beef alright?" He said.

Jeno hummed and nodded his head with his eyes shut closed, "mhmm~." Jaemin sighed and leaned back before pecking the hybrid's head.

He turns to leave but hears another whine, "alpha~ nuu leavee meeee~" Jeno pouts and kicks his legs in the air. He has a little ankle bracelet that he always wears, as in like he never took it off.

It jingles as Jeno kept kicking his legs up in the air like a little kid with his ears flat on his head and his tail laying on his lap.

Jaemin sighed and picked Jeno up who gladly lets him and clung onto his neck as the former moved him at the kitchen counter instead. The hybrid cheered, "yay~" he giggled.

The alpha didn't need to think twice that the hybrid was in his baby mode or headspace, he wasn't necessarily a little, he just acts like this when he can't control his emotions. Usually happens whenever he has catnip.

Renjun had discovered it first despite Chenle being Jeno's first friend. The fox hybrid acted like an older brother to his fellow hybrid friend and therefore came up with it first.

He was just in Jeno's room and tried to find the said boy but instead saw him staring off into his mouse plushie like it had done something evil. The hybrid looked up with his eyes dilated and Renjun knew this wasn't really normal.

Usually, cats get too playful when they have catnip. But in Jeno's situation, the latter often looses control of his emotions and has to be taken care of a lot. He would suddenly cry if he doesn't get to play and instantly smiles when catnip was involved.

So no, Jeno isn't a little. He just acts like a baby when he's not in the right state of mind, he can still talk properly and do things normally but most of the time he'd have to be immature and childish.

It's hard to explain but he isn't diagnosed by it. He gets even more clumsy and more childish than before. He either acts like a sensitive baby or has an attitude like a bitch.

Jaemin spends his cooking with Jeno whining when he doesn't respond to him once he asks something and accuses him of not actually listening.

Which isn't true because Jaemin is listening, He's a werewolf for God's sake. He's in fact listening to Jeno's voice and smiles softly whenever the boy gets himself confused or his tone changes at any certain point.

Jeno gets quiet as Jaemin finished up. He turns around and can't help but smile at the cute sight, for him it was cute. The hybrid was slowly licking the back of his hand and stops when he realized the alpha was watching him.

The latter shook his head with a chuckle and helps Jeno to the table as they ate their brunch, the hybrid eating messily once again and apologizes repeatedly thinking the alpha will get upset again.

Jaemin just reassured him it was fine but has to make sure to clean up. The hybrid nodded obediently and helps the werewolf clean their mess, his mess specifically.
