Summary: Soft kitty, warm kity-no, mY LEG IS NOT A CLIMBING POST

Notes: because i have something about ksoo loving cats and cats hating chanyeol.

and obv bc i have something about chansoo.

“line your shoes up carefully,” kyungsoo tosses behind him, shucking off his own shoes and on autopilot, he bends down to place his sneakers in their place on his shoes shelf and most importantly, run his hand down his russian blue’s back.

kai weaves her way through his legs, making that lovely sound that always brings that rare smiles to kyungsoo’s face. 

“i’m home,” he greets softly to his precious, tickling behind her ear and her purrs intensify, rubbing against his hand.

the vibrations stop abruptly when chanyeol nearly crashes into his door frame.

kai meows loudly in protest when chanyeol apologizes to kyungsoo for kicking his shoe shelf and knocking down a number of shoes and kyungsoo just closes his eyes, brows furrowing. he sighs and the little crease between his brows disappear as chanyeol does that little sheepish duck that always makes him look far too adorable for someone his height.

“all that limb and you still have no ing idea what to do with yourself,” kyungsoo sighs, and chanyeol just smiles his trademark 500 kilowatt smile.

his smile freezes in place when he hears a hiss being spat at him. “is your cat hissing at me.”

“kai! are you hissing, baby? why are you hissing?” kyungsoo coos to his lovely lady, abandoning chanyeol at the doorway to pick up the green eyed cat, “you don’t like the big bumbling man? it’s ok, i don’t either.” chanyeol’s weak protest is ignored in favor of calming down the russian blue, who’s currently fixating her gaze on the stranger intruding on her home.

“you named your cat scissors?” chanyeol asks, once he’s able to sit in a chair far enough distance, he judges from kai’s very sharp claws. 

kyungsoo’s still trying to placate his rigid cat by petting her in his lap, only sparing a glance at his friend. “she’s always had a sharp gaze, even as a kitten. when i picked her out from her litter, she didn’t romp around like her littermates but just sat in a high corner and watched me. so i named her scissors.”

chanyeol eyes kai wearily, her sleek gray body seemed ideal for pouncing on large, skinny men. while chanyeol is usually an animal friend, he’s more of a dog person, attracting the attention of all the retrievers bounding about the park, but this cat, kai, just stared at him with this unnerving unwavering gaze. “uh. fitting.”

kyungsoo rubs two fingers underneath kai’s chin and she takes her gaze off chanyeol for two seconds to enjoy the attention, blinking slowly at her owner. the two meld at each other’s sides and kai’s body language tells chanyeol that’s there’s no room for him. chanyeol almost whimpers.

a trot song plays loudly and kyungsoo blinks down at his phone. “oh. i gotta take this call, give me a second,” he says, tapping on the top of kai’s head lightly and she pads off his lap gently. her owner’s already swiping his screen and greeting into the phone. he quickly takes the call into his bedroom, leaving chanyeol and the cat in some sort of stare off in the living room.

chanyeol tries again, reaching out slowly talking in a low, calm voice, “nice kitty? are you nice ka-holy !” he quickly retracts his arm in fear for his fingers when kai pulls back her upper lip and hisses at him, tucking her front paws out from underneath her.

her tail flicks in warning from side to side and chanyeol likes having all ten finger too much to try again. the silence stretches on, while kyungsoo’s call seems to take forever.

sighing, chanyeol shoves his phone back into his pocket after checking the time and glancing at the direction kyungsoo had wandered off to. he sighs, looking at the russian blue and mutters, more to himself than the cat, but he figures that he might was well talk to the cat if he can’t even say it to the owner’s cat, “i like your owner, and i guess i like you. but it looks, just like your owner, you don’t seem to like me very much either.”

kai stares at him with her eerily green eyes and chanyeol swears that she doesn’t even blink at him. 

this has got to be the longest phone call ever.

chanyeol fidgets in his chair.

kai meows and stands, padding closer to chanyeol, who sits stick straight and breathes shallowly, unsure if kai was approaching to tear him to bits or to do something else.

she finally settles to on the arm of the chair, terrifyingly close his chanyeol’s left hand. he figures that it’s his non dominant hand and that he can afford to lose the function of it for a few weeks then try to fend off the cat with his other hand.

against his fears, the russian blue meows loudly and butts her head softly against his hand. oh.

oh

chanyeol raises his arm slowly, afraid of making any movement that might change the cat’s mind and slowly brings it closer to kai’s head. she’s impatient, glancing at him like he’s the slowest fool to walk the earth and butts her head against the palm of his hand, meowling like she’s telling him to get a move on.

his hand comes to rest with the lightest of touches between her ears and he pets down towards her tail. she settles, tucking her paws underneath her, staring off to kyungsoo’s bedroom.

“i’m sorry that call ran so long, joonmyun hyung wanted to really iron out some details-oh. i see kai’s warmed up to you. she’s rather particular about who’s allowed to pet her,” kyungsoo says, returning from his call. there’s a little smile on the corner of his lips as he watches his best friend almost worshipfully petting his cat.

it’s a cozy scene and kyungsoo just wants to snap a photo but then chanyeol brings his hand too low and accidentally brushes his hand towards her head and kai snaps her head around to glare at him, her upper lip coming up.

“i’m sorry, i’m so sorry, kai, please don’t eat my face,” chanyeol babbles to the cat and kyungsoo giggles at that bubbling warmth in his chest.

it’ll take some time. maybe, just maybe, kyungsoo wants chanyeol over more often. 

for kai to get used to him, obviously.
