A big heart

Lee Minho x Genderneutral reader

Summary: On a stormy day, your boyfriend Minho comes home with a little surprise.

A/N: Actually writing this with a kitten interrupting me every few seconds, is less fun than it sounds. I'm kidding of course, it's the best thing ever :') she keeps tapping my screen and looking what I'm doing. TT

The problem is for whatever reason, I suddenly went into hard Stan mode halfway through writing HAHAHA how to deal with Lee Minho? :((

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

You're at your third cup of coffee, the clicking of your computer's keyboard mixing with the steady sound of a storm from outside. You eye the window behind your desk. Raindrops are curling their paths down the pane, as if racing each other. The sky outside is a dull grey that seems almost white and another thunder rolls through the city.

When the clock on your screen hits 5 pm, you worry your bottom lip between your teeth. Minho should be back from campus by now. His classes ended one and a half hour ago and usually, the trip back to your shared apartment only takes around 30 minutes.

What if he had gotten into an accident, because of the rain? Or perhaps he had just decided to wait the storm out in a cafe? Your mind is beginning to run in circles of worry. He hasn't even answered any of the messages you sent.

However, just when you contemplate sending your twentieth text, the doorbell rings. You race to the entrance door at an embarrassing speed. Sure enough, when you open it, there is a drenched Minho, dripping all over the door matt.

His hair is clumped in wet strands and the top of his clothes is a few shades darker than the original colour. There is something strange about the imagine though. You are sure that he had taken a raincoat along, when he left this morning and you are right. Yet, instead of wearing the piece, he has it balled up in his arms. And over all of it, instead of looking annoyed, he practically beams at you.

Minho barely ever showcases delight like this, except when it comes to you. The only time you had seen him wear an expression so soft and loving, was when the two of you had exchanged I love you's for the first time, or whenever you made love.

It has become something for your eyes only.

But you find the source of his happiness in the ominous bundle, he carries. The raincoat gives a pathetic little mewl and your eyes widen.

"Minho, what is that?"

He tries to suppress his smile, "A raincoat?"

You give him a deadpan expression, "and what is INSIDE the raincoat?"

"Drugs?" The raincoat mewls again, "Look I couldn't just leave it there."

"It?"

At that moment, a tiny paw crawls out of the raincoat. It's tugging the fabric out of the way, as if to peak. Beyond that, the most precious sight you've ever seen reveals itself.

A kitten with a broad face and a beautiful pattern blinks up at the two of you. Big, eyes reflect you in the richest green you've ever seen. Minho seems absolutely enraptured, holding it carefully.

"oh my god." you gasp. After a second, you rip out of your stupor and tug at Minho's arm, "Come on inside, you'll get a cold."

Complying quickly, your boyfriend slips past you and you close the door. Before you can refuse, there is a wet bundle in your arms and Minho runs to the bathroom with a fresh set of clothes.

Stunned, you walk to the couch and sit down, admiring the little creature in your arms. It's shaking badly and, despite Minho's coat, it's quite wet. Caring little at this point, you unwrap it and exchange the coat for the next blanket in your reach. There's another mewl, but after a few breaths, the shaking stops.

Minho comes back from the bathroom with sweats and a towel on his head. He didn't even bother putting on a shirt, in his hurry to come back. You have to hold back a laugh at that.

"How is she?" he asks, sitting next to you.

You lean your head on his shoulder, scratching the kitten behind its ear, "Better I think. We should try to keep her warm." you pause and then ask: "Where did you find her?"

"Around campus actually." he says, "She was hiding beneath a couple of bushes. No collar, no mom, no nothing. I think she got abandoned by her mother."

"That's terrible."

"It's probably because of her eye." Minho points at the kitten's left eye. When you look closer, you notice how it's a little more milky than the other, "It's half blind, probably couldn't keep up with the rest of the family."

You pout, "Poor thing. What are we gonna do?"

Minho hesitates with his answer, bottom lip between his teeth. He eyes you like a school boy, about to ask for candy, even tho he isn't sure he deserves it.

"We could just... Keep her?"

You stare at him, "Min, we live on instant ramen and ready-made sandwiches. How are we supposed to take care of a cat?"

"I'm sure we can do it. Together, we're a great team!" when he sees the sceptical look on your face, he leans in and kisses your neck, muttering: "Please."

You giggle, when he actually starts to nip at you in earnest, "I don't know, I might need a little more convincing?"

Grinning, he caputes your lips in a deep kiss. You're surprised with the passion and fire behind that kiss and, something about it tells you, that this really is important to Minho. You kiss him back for a little and when you draw back, you're actually panting.

"Fine." you mumble, "She needs a litter box and food and a bed though." you think some more, "and a name."

Minho is already squealing, pressing more kisses to your neck and cheek, while wrapping his arms around you. Then, he pulls back and looks at the kitten.

You see it in the way his lips curl, when he finally thinks of something: "Charlie."

"Alright Charlie." you lift the kitten up to your face and it curiously sniffles your nose, "Welcome to the Lee family. It's a great honour to be here, you know? Good thing your daddy is so cute without his shirt."

Minho hums and looks at you, "Good thing Y/N has such a big heart."
