“So you’re telling me that you’ve been chewing on a Mandrake leaf for an entire month so you could transform yourself into a what? A bloody grizzly bear?”
“Not a grizzly bear Hunnie,” Jongin whines, “just an average brown bear.”
Sehun nods and presses his palm against his forehead, sitting down on one of the desks in the empty classroom his boyfriend has dragged him into. “And why are you only telling me now? How do you even know you’ll end up transforming into a brown bear in the first place?” Jongin frowns and then pouts, stepping closer to settle in between his legs.
“I didn’t tell you ‘cause you’re always worried, even when I’m just doing a few tricks on my broom during Quidditch practice,” Jongin mumbles and giggles when Sehun glares at him. “See! You would have just worried more and I can’t have that.” He places a kiss on the younger’s cheek, smiling when he adorably scrunches up his nose. “And about your second question? I don’t know, you always call me your cute bear and I like bears,” he shrugs, “it just feels right, I guess.”
Sehun shakes his head, pulling his boyfriend close, and nuzzles his face into his fluffy winter sweater. He looks up, puppy eyes on display. “And what if you hurt yourself? I can’t lose you Nini.”
Jongin cracks a smile, throws his head back, and starts laughing. He then pets his tousled hair and leaves another kiss on his forehead. “You’re not gonna lose me Hunnie,” he answers, chuckling again when his boyfriend just pouts some more.
“Okay, that was my last weapon. I guess I can’t stop you, can I?” He sighs and snuggles closer, looking up with pursed lips, clearly asking for a kiss. Jongin smiles fondly and nods. “Can’t stop me Babe.” He leans down and catches his lips in a sweet kiss, moving his mouth in a slow rhythm, and then smiles when he feels his boyfriend gasp against his lips.
Sehun whines when he pulls away, complaining that they could keep doing this for the rest of the day instead of these stupid and dangerous transforming spells.
“Nu-uh,” Jongin says, stroking Sehun’s cheek and then steps away to take out the small vial with the potion he has been brewing on for the past three moon cycles, “I worked on this whole thing way too hard for you not to see me as a cute bear for real.”
His boyfriend clearly doesn’t like it but just crosses his arms in front of his chest, nodding slowly. “Okay, you big scary bear, show me your claws, rawr.”
“Haha, very funny,” Jongin frowns and opens the lid of the little vial, placing it right next to his wand on the desk next to Sehun. “So this shouldn’t be too hard. I have to drink the potion, cast the spell, and then embrace my true form.”
“Your true form my ass,“ Sehun mumbles, but nervously gnaws on his bottom lip. He can’t help but worry. Ever since he met Jongin in year one when they both got sorted into Gryffindor they’ve been attached at the hip. And when they started dating in year six he’d grown even more clingy, often crying himself to sleep during the summer holidays when he had been missing his boyfriend just a little too much.
So yes, he is worried, but he is also in love and wants Jongin to be happy at all times. Sighing quietly, Sehun sits back and watches his boyfriend organize his workplace.
“Okay, I’m gonna start now,” Jongin announces and takes the vial in his hands, bringing it to his mouth, and then starts gulping down the golden liquid. He shudders and then looks down at his chest, irritated at the small and very fast second heartbeat next to his own. “Merlin, this is so weird.” He shakes his head and then takes his wand in his hand, pushing the end of it against his chest where he could feel the thumping heart, and starts mumbling the spell he’d memorized a few days ago. Now everything he would have to do was to embrace the animal inside his chest.
Sehun watches him with worry laced on his face and he can’t help but wish for Jongin’s hand in his own to calm him. Something is strange about his boyfriend. He doesn’t give off the aura of a bear but rather something small and gentle. His whole body seems to vibrate and Sehun shrieks when he starts making buzzing noises, hopping around in small circles. “Nini” he almost yells, jumping from the table he’s been sitting on to calm his boyfriend.
“Merlin’s beard, what the-” he mumbles, and then a small ‘blob’ noise echoes through the room, and Jongin vanishes just like that. Sehun is stunned, panic flooding his veins as he desperately cranes his neck to search for the older boy. “This is the exact reason why you should listen to me Kim Jongin. But no! You have to do your stupid animagi trick and vanish on me,” he whines and almost starts crying.
Almost. Because suddenly a small buzzing noise shakes him out of his thoughts and a small bumblebee lands on his left shoulder. Sehun stares at the little bee and the bee stares right back and that’s when it hits him and he can’t help but start laughing like a maniac.
“Oh, my sweet baby,” he giggles, carefully taking the small bumblebee on one of his fingers. “you’re even cuter like this, my scary, scary grizzly bear.” He boops the bee on the fluffy back, careful not to crush his hopeless boyfriend.
“That’s, like, so funny and cute and all,” Sehun smiles, “but I very much would like my buff and normal-sized boyfriend back now.”
The bee buzzes as if agreeing and then flies away, and one second later a very embarrassed and distraught-looking Jongin stands in front of him.
“Not a single word!”
Sehun cackles.
