“This is without a doubt the most embarrassing moment of my life,” Yoongi covered his face with his hands as Jimin pat his back.

“Oh stop being so dramatic, you’re adorable! It’s very fitting for you, at least you don’t have a bell like me,” Jimin rang his bell pointedly. https://twitter.com/jamesromanie/status/1321338533747904512

Yoongi groaned hating his life, why had he agreed to this again? Because it was Seokjin’s brilliant idea to do a fundraiser through a cat cafe, only cats weren’t real cats, they were all strapping young men in nice waiter suits and collars. The only thing different was each man

sported cat ears and a cat tail.

This was the end of his college career as he knew it.

-.-

“This is without a doubt the best moment of my life,” Jungkook’s eyes were practically stars when he saw the senior he had been pining after all year smile his gummy smile

at his workmate, two black cat ears sitting delicately on top of his head, his cheeks slightly pink.

“Could you be any more perverted?” Taehyung gave him a look of judgement and Jungkook sniffed in indignation.

“As if you’re not here to see Jimin.”

“Jimin is my boyfriend, not

a person I stalk,” Taehyung did not look up from the menu as he said this so he did not see Jungkook’s scowl.

“I do not stalk Yoongi-hyung, we’re friends, the other day I asked him for directions and he said I could ask him again any time.”

“A real love story,” came Taehyung’s

flat reply.

“You guys haven’t ordered yet?” Hoseok complained as he sat next to Taehyung.

“Jungkook’s pining stare won’t stop scaring the waiters away,” Taehyung replied.

“I’m not pining!”

“I can’t blame you,” Hoseok sighed, “Namjoon is pretty sexy with those

cat ears.”

“Not him! Yoongi-hyung!”

“Yes?” Jungkook turned, mortified to see Yoongi standing there in all his cat glory, his lips in a natural pout and —man, this really shouldn’t be doing it for Jungkook as much as it is, but it is.

“What?” he asked dumbly.

“You said my name?” Yoongi’s eyebrows furrowed in question and Jungkook became increasingly more flustered.

“Well, uh-we- I saw you and we um- we want to order drinks?” Jungkook ended with a question and thankfully Yoongi simply smiled taking out his paper and pen.

“Of course! What can I get you?”

Yoongi was quick to jot down the orders and make his way back to the bar where Jimin was standing and he leaned over.

“Jimin why didnt you tell me your boyfriend was bringing Jeon Jungkook?” He hissed, his cheeks growing redder.

“Oh?” Jimin blinked at him and then smirked, “is that the sophomore you’re stalking?” Yoongi’s face darkened another shade.

“I’m not stalking,” he growled, “I just happen to be in the same are as him, ugh I totally embarrassed myself the other day when I gave him directions.”

“What happened?”

“I told him to ask me again any time.”

“Okay?”

“Ask me again for the same directions? I’m such an idiot.”

“I’m sure that’s not how he took it at all, besides,” Jimin leaned forward his voice low, “he hasn’t taken his eyes off you since he got here.”

Yoongi side eyed the table and indeed Jungkook’s gaze was hot and heavy on him and he turned fully to Jimin.

“Oh my gosh, do you think he likes...this?” he pointed at the ears and Jimin rolled his eyes.

“I think he likes you, now,” Jimin handed him the tray of drinks,

“go ask him if he wants a cat to keep him company and get that vitamin d.”

Yoongi threw him a glare but went to the table, just as Taehyung was getting up to go to Jimin. Yoongi nodded at Namjoon who was in Hoseok’s lap, as Hoseok played with his hair.

“Your drinks.”

He set them down and then cleared his throat, “w-would you like a cat to keep you company?” he asked and Jungkook stared at him.

“What?”

Crushing embarrassment came over Yoongi but before he could take it back Jungkook leaned forward, “it’s loud in here, can you say it again?”

He didn’t know how he did it but he mustered up the courage to say it again. “Would you like a cat to keep you company?”

Jungkook’s eyes widened and he nodded scooting over so Yoongi could sit next to him but in another moment of unexpected bravery, Yoongi got on the bench and

leaned over him, so their faces were inches a part.

“Is your lap okay? It’s a cat cafe after all,” he tried to look as pretty as possible while asking. Jungkook looked stricken by the request but he quickly nodded and moved back so Yoongi could sit in his lap.

At sitting down, Yoongi felt the tension building up in his stomach, Jungkook looked more nervous than he was and so he looked at the younger man with a smile.

“Do you want to touch them?” he asked and Jungkook blinked once, twice and Yoongi laughed sheepishly. “My ears.”

“Is...” Jungkook paused, “is that okay?”

Yoongi nodded, “they’re fake so...” he trailed off, and Jungkook reached up with one tattooed hand and gently stroked one of Yoongi’s ears while the smaller smiled sweetly at him.

“They are soft.” Jungkook seemed s bit breathless.

It was then that his hand dropped down a little and stroked the back of Yoongi’s neck, something which had always been sensitive and the sound that left Yoongi’s throat could only be described as a purr and he froze, to embarrassed to look at Jungkook who was staring at him.

“I’m so-“ Yoongi was cut off when he felt something hard pressing against him and he looked at Jungkook who looked mortified and he felt a bloom of confidence rush over him as he leaned forward, “do you want some help?” he whispered his eyes dropping down.

“I...You’re just so hot,” Jungkook whispered and Yoongi grinned leaning forward, his hand against Jungkook’s chest as he purred in a low voice, “I can wear the ears.”

Jungkook hips jumped as if answering and Yoongi giggled. “Woah their; Tiger,” he cooed and

Jungkook bit his lip and Yoongi grinned, “so do you want the ears or not?” he winked, his voice still low.

“I don’t care, I’m this close to marrying you,” Jungkook admitted and then cringed, “that was weird,” and Yoongi blushed a light pink.

“Actually it was cute.”

He bit his lip and leaned toward Jungkook again, making sure to press at just the right angle.

“But first, we take care of this, because kitten could use some milk,” he stuck his tongue out and Jungkook nearly fainted and Yoongi laughed.

Maybe the day wasn’t so bad after all.
