Taeyong revelled in your warmth. He tightened his grip, never wanting to let go again. You look at their connected hand and took Taeyong's free hand so he faced you, "Yongie." Your tone made him avert his eyes, "Yongie look at me", you whispered. He slowly faced you. Y/N's heart clenched at the already drooping ears. "I'm sorry but... this will be my last visit for awhile."
                          


                          
"No", his tail curled around your arm.
                          


                          
"It's not something we can avoid", you smiled with understanding, "I need to-"
                          


                          
"I don't want to hear it", he hissed. His tail tightened painfully around your arm. The pinch reminded you of the sphygmomanometers.
                          


                          
Y/N smiled gently. Taeyong reminded you of a cornered kitten. "I get it", you nodded, "I don't want to be away from you eityou." His expression slowly relaxed. You reached up and ruffled his hair playfully, "I just need a little more time to kick work's ass Yongie." Your fingers trailed down to his cheek and you held his eyes. "Can you wait a little longer for me?"
                          


                          
"Take me with you so I don't have to wait ", he wanted to say. He closed his eyes and leaned into your palm, "I'll wait."
                          


                          
His eyes reopen when you moved your hand away. Before he could protest you wrapped it around his neck and pulled him close. "Thank you", you whispered in his ear. Taeyong stilled before giving in. His arms circled your waist. Y/N pulled in a breath, the strength of his embrace was bruising.
                          


                          
A hand separated them, "just little too strong", Baekhyun laughed. Taeyong realized the Y/N's slight discomfort and immediately became rueful. "Thank you for coming on such short notice", Baekhyun smiled.
                          


                          
"Seeing the situation I'm glad I came as soon as I could", Y/N smiled at Taeyong. "I've overstayed my visit", you bowed, "I'll return as soon as possible."
                          


                          
Baekhyun tightened his grip on the hybrid's wrist to halt Taeyong. "We await your arrival", he smiled. You clothed yourself against the cold. You waved to the hybrid and caretaker before disappearing into the night.
                          


                          
Suddenly it was the twenty-fifth. Taeyong didn't think this Christmas would be any different. The already decorated shelter would be closed for the day so they could have a Christmas party for the hybrids. There was a big tree in their main room with a mountain of presents while the caretakers were dressed as Santa. They had a very big donation this year so they could afford more extravagant gifts. Taeyong was currently watching Johnny beat the level he couldn't in Subway Surfer.
                          


                          
 Taeyong suddenly sat up and startled him. "You made me lose my concentration", Johnny whined. The cat hybrid paid him no mind, his ear flickered. Johnny caught a whiff and understood Taeyong's sudden diversion.
                          


                          
 "I'm glad you could join us", Jun Myeon greeted as you entered the main room.
                          


                          
 "Nuna!" Chenle shrieked. You couldn't avoid being tackled, "Merry Christmas!"
                          


                          
 "Merry Christmas to you too", you laughed from the floor. The pup's tail wagged wildly under the attention.
