[Man, you think you know someone. Zhao looked at Joon-gi like he'd grown another head. He hadn't expected this kind of reaction about a random kitten. However, the more he thought about it, it made a kind of sense. He took his role at being a bodyguard very seriously. Maybe this was just that kind of instinct being transferred over to someone in his care.
It just clashed so much with his boyfriend's stoicism. But everyone had that secret thing they were passionate about. Maybe for Joon-gi it was cats?
Usually he was the practical one and Zhao was the passionate one. Obviously that dynamic got flipped on its head for this scenario. He sipped his tea and finished his miso soup, already feeling some of the chill being chased away.[]
All right. [He could escalate this to an argument, but what would be the point? Joon-gi was setting himself up to be really hurt and all Zhao could do was be supportive when the inevitable happened.]
We're still taking her to the vet tomorrow. But you can name her whatever you want. Everything I've looked up, we gotta feed her every four hours. So if you take the next shift and I take the one after that, we'll alternate until appointment time.
[He didn't have to work tomorrow anyway and it'd give him a chance to sleep a little bit in case he felt like ass in the morning. He stood up and took all the empty dishes and began to clean them. It gave him an extra chance to rein in the impulse to say something stupid. It was the kind of thing he'd live to tease Joon-gi about, but that would end up biting him in the ass. He was so emotional about this right now and his boyfriend did need to show more emotion on a daily basis.
He wished it was something else, but what the hell could you do? With the dishes done, he kissed his boyfriend on the cheek.]
