"Hey!" Chen burst into the room. "Hey, hey, hey! Have you heard the news?"
Chanyeol looked up from the report he had been reading and his eyebrows shot up. It must be some really big news if Chen used his hindlegs and his arms to propel himself forward, jumping up on Chanyeol's desk, grinning broadly.
"Suho's got a human!" Chen's whiskers shivered in excitement as he let the cat out of the bag. Chanyeol's eyes went wide, pupils mere slits. "He what?!"
Chen urged him to abandon his paperwork, and Chanyeol let his best friend drag him outside. He was working overtime anyway, and what better reason to abandon those boring papers than to visit another friend who apparently had gotten the kind of pet Chanyeol had always dreamed of.
"Ah, I can't believe he has a human," Chanyeol shouted as he raced behind Chen through the streets, tails held straight in the air to help them balance at such speed. "Have you seen it? What does it look like? Ah, stupid rich people. I'm so jealous!"
Chen chuckled at his friend's outburst. "First, it's a he. And yeah, I've seen him. Humans don't have whiskers, did you know that? It makes them look kinda naked in the face." He laughed loudly.
When they finally reached Suho's mansion, their friend, having already heard them coming, opened the door to let them inside. Of course he knew that news travelled fast, and he could tell how excited Chanyeol was when he nearly forgot to wash his paws at the entrance before stepping inside.
"Kai, come here and meet my friends," Suho called sweetly into the back of the house and not soon after, they heard cautious footsteps approaching and then Suho's human appeared before them. He threw his master a hesitant look but when Suho put an arm around his shoulder and let out a low, steady purr to calm him, he mumbled a greeting.
"Isn't he pretty?" asked Chen, nudging Chanyeol and grinning like a Cheshire cat, while Suho gave Kai a little rewarding pat on the shoulder.
Chanyeol could only stare, from the cute hairless human feet poking out from under slightly too long pants legs, over the collar snugly around Kai's neck, all the way up to the soft-looking, dark brown mop of hair on top of the earless head. "Whoa, this is really... really..."
"What, cat got your tongue?" Chen teased his friend.
Indeed, Chanyeol only regained his speech later when they were all sprawled on Suho's comfortable divans. Chen, having already seen Kai before, and not being as obsessed with humans as Chanyeol in the first place, was more interested in digging his claws in the scratch pillows Suho always handed them like the good host he was.
"Why are his cheeks all red?" Chanyeol couldn't take his eyes off the human in Suho's lap, even though Chen gave his swishing tail a playful slap. Maybe for Chen this was no reason to get excited but for Chanyeol, it was his first time seeing a human. They were really rare. He didn't know they could get so tall, too. This one reached to at least half a head above Suho's ears, and that without having ears himself.
"He's shy," Suho explained and laid his hands over Kai's knuckles that the human tried to hide in the long sleeves of his shirt. He hugged his human closer, having read that body heat and a steady purr relaxed them. It seemed to work until Chanyeol couldn't contain his curiosity any longer and all but scrambled onto Suho's divan and asked if he could hold Kai.
Suho noticed Kai going stiff in his hold but he gently nudged him towards Chanyeol. "Be a good boy, okay? There's no need to be afraid of my friends."
Chanyeol made a delighted meow when he finally got to hold the human. He petted the hair which was really as soft as it looked but pulled back in surprise when he found weirdly shaped flaps of skin on each side of the pet's head. "What are those?" he shrieked.
"Those are human ears," Chen deadpanned. "Don't you know anything?"
Chanyeol hissed at Chen, a little embarrassed because, okay, he really might not know very much about humans. He only knew that he didn't have the money and connections to get a real human from a trustworthy breeder but admitting that hurt his pride a little.
His enthusiasm wasn't dampened for long, though. "He's so cute!" he cooed. "Does he like tongue baths? I'm really good at giving them!" And he started lavishing little licks on Kai's neck and face. The human boy squeaked and scrambled out of Chanyeol's arms, diving back into Suho's safe embrace, face beet-red.
"Curiosity killed the cat," Chen taunted in a sing-song voice from the other divan, amused at Chanyeol's ridiculous pout.
"Ah, Chanyeol, I think you're just overwhelming him a little. I only got him the day before yesterday, you know? Even I haven't gotten him to let me clean him yet."
"So you haven't mated him yet?" Chanyeol asked incredulously and when Suho shook his head, added with gleaming eyes and a deep rumbling purr underlying his voice. "How do you even resist? If I had such a cute human, I would mate him every day."
"You know I'm against using humans just as mating toys," Suho said sharply, curling his arms and tail around Kai protectively. "Pets are sentient beings, and they need their master's love and care."
"The ever kind-hearted Suho..." Chen mumbled and stretched on his divan, a little bored with both his friends' attention on the human, before he suddenly jumped up and nudged Chanyeol. "Come on, let's go. I think you scared our little friend enough."
Chanyeol gave a little meow to voice his displeasure about leaving but seeing the way Kai still had his head buried in Suho's arms, he could see Chen had a point. Besides, knowing Suho and how committed he was, he would keep Kai for a long time, so Chanyeol could always come back for a visit.
When Suho brought them to the door, he was happy that Kai shuffled after Suho to say goodbye, too. Ruffling the soft brown hair one last time, he said with a smirk. "Remember, when the cats are away, the humans will play." This got a laugh out of Kai, the first positive reaction he had gotten out of the human today, and he thought he couldn't be more pleased when Kai leaned towards him and pressed his lips quickly to Chanyeol's lips. He watched dazedly as the human did the same to Chen and mumbled a goodbye, cheeks glowing red in shyness again.
"What was that?" Chanyeol asked, trying to relax his ears that had shot straight up in surprise when the soft human lips had touched his. Even Chen's ears had perked up although he tried to keep his cool cat act as always and smirked at Chanyeol's expression. "You look like that cat who got the cream," he teased.
"It's how humans say goodbye, but only to someone they like a lot," Suho explained before directing a fond smile at Kai. "You did good today," he praised with a soft purr. "You're such a good boy."
When the door closed, Kai slung his arms around Suho's middle and pushed his face into Suho's shoulder, mumbling. "Master, was I really good? I'm sorry about Chanyeol and the-"
"It's okay," Suho said in his calm voice that Kai liked very much. "You were very good." They returned to the living room while Suho spoke. "I know it was your first time meeting strangers. Well, second time, if you count Chen's first visit as the first time." They cleaned up quickly and then Suho promised to make dinner.
"I have a reward for you. I bought it at the pet store earlier." He rummaged in his bag and pulled a little box out, wrapped neatly in blue and silver paper. "I wasn't sure but I hope you like this kind of toy."
Kai opened the present, eyes going wide as he found the new Nintendo inside. "Thank you," he whispered and kissed Suho on the mouth. Suho ruffled his hair and allowed him to play until he was done with cooking, chuckling as he watched his cute human walk to his room still staring dazedly at the toy in his hands.
He came running when Suho called for dinner, and once again Suho was pleased how well his pet listened. During the course of the meal, though, he didn't seem to have much appetite, squirming in his seat uncomfortably.
"Are you alright? You look like a cat on a hot tin roof."
Kai's cheeks flared up but he kept his head down and shoved more food into his mouth.
"Are you that impatient to go back to your game?"
Kai shook his head, still not looking Suho in the eyes. The catman sighed.
"Come on, be good and answer me," he coaxed. "What's wrong."
"I didn't play. I've been practicing," Kai mumbled and Suho questioned him patiently but Kai only squirmed more in his seat, refusing to tell the whole story, his face getting redder and redder until he finally burst out. "Chanyeol said you've been holding back from mating me, but I want to be ready for master, so I've been practicing with the... the other toys master gave me!"
Suho nearly dropped his plate, ears flattening against his head at the image of what Kai had done in his room while he had cooked dinner like every day, suspecting nothing.
"I'm wearing a butt plug right now, so master can, uhm..." Kai whispered, almost too quiet even for Suho's cat ears to pick up. But only almost, and it made him let out a long, pained mewl.
"You don't know what you're doing. I've wanted you since the moment I laid eyes on you at that exhibition. But I swore to myself I wouldn't force anything on you, and now here you are offering yourself to me! God spare my other eight lives!"
He collected the plates and cutlery and brought them to the kitchen sink, nearly jumping out of his skin when he noticed Kai had followed him and wordlessly grabbed the towel, blinking expectantly at Suho with his big, trusting eyes. As if Suho would make him dry the dishes when he knew that Kai... had...
His gaze wandered to Kai's bottom before he could stop it and he let out a frustrated yowl, throwing down the sponge, and dragged Kai to his bedroom. The dishes could very damn well wait.
"Strip," he ordered and Kai was out of his clothes in the blink of an eye, standing there in all his smooth, flushed skin, rubbing the toes of one foot against the other, unsure of whether he should step closer or stay where he was.
Suho exhaled deeply, took off his own clothes and patted the spot next to him on his bed for Kai to sit.
"Okay. Look. Before we do this, there's one thing I want you to know. I'm not sure how much you've been told about catpeople's anatomy but our penises are slightly different. We have hooks on the underside that can catch on the flesh when pulling out." Suho noticed how Kai drew his lips and eyebrows into a grimace that he knew expressed worry or pain. He pulled the human close and ran a soothing hand up and down his side.
"Some masters use it to ascertain their dominance or even just because they like causing their humans pain. But you know I love you very much and would never do that, right?" He nuzzled his nose into Kai's hair, waiting for the human to nod before he continued speaking.
"However," he sighed, "as gentle as I'll try to be, I can't promise you 100% that it won't hurt a little. It's because of how my anatomy is, not because I'm punishing you, do you understand?"
Kai nodded again but there was one more thing Suho felt he had to emphasize, even though he had told Kai many times before. "If you don't want me to mate you, now, or ever, you're always allowed to say no, okay?"
Kai circled his arms around Suho's neck and rubbed his nose against Suho's chest. "Master is so kind." He trailed kisses up Suho's neck and pressed his naked body closer, almost climbing into his lap. "I really want master to mate me." He pulled away to look into Suho's slitted eyes.
"A- A cat with gloves catches no humans." His cheeks were red but he looked determined. Suho let out a surprised, little laugh. It was the first time Kai had used a cat-themed idiom. Pleased that his pet wasn't only beautiful but smart, too, he praised him with a purr and gave him a long, slow kiss that left Kai panting and trembling a little.
Suho raked his eyes over Kai's form, his straining cock that already had a pearly drop of precum forming at the tip, his toned stomach and heaving chest, to the way the collar seemed to sit so tight against his neck now that he was taking in gulps of air. He took Kai's soft, clawless hands and led him to lie face-down on the sheets. Being the good pet that he was, he lifted his backside even without Suho's instruction.
As Suho ran his hand down the curve of his arched back and without a tail in the way to hinder his process on to dip into the cleft of his ass where he played with the plug still resting snugly inside, he thought absentmindedly that maybe this was why humans were such highly prized mating toys. They were certainly a sight to behold.
He liked the soft, deep moans, too. They were so different from the aggressive screams and hisses most cats let out during mating. He hooked his fingers behind the flared end of the plug and pulled slowly, watching Kai's hole stretch as the thicker part of the shaft slid through. Kai moaned and his leg muscles tensed when the bulbous tip strained against his entrance. Suho pushed the plug back in about halfway and then pulled it out in one quick move that left Kai shaking and sobbing in the bedsheets.
Suho tried to purr soothingly again but even to his own ears, the low rumble that vibrated in his chest sounded like pure arousal. He positioned himself behind Kai, pressing the tip of his cock against him but not pushing in. Feeling Kai's muscles clench around him, he let out a mewl but managed to say. "If you want it, be a good boy and-" He grabbed Kai's hips and pulled a little towards himself.
Kai seemed to understand as his breath hitched and then came out in little huffs that sounded like needy sobs. Suho admired how the muscles in his back worked as his pet heaved himself up on shaky elbows, before he pushed himself back to impale himself on Suho's cock with a scream. He rocked back and forth at such a merciless pace that Suho had to grab his hips tighter, trying to slow him down.
But only when he leaned over Kai's back, hooking his arms around the human's chest and his added weight and their closeness rendered him immobile, did he stop moving. His breath still came out in hard, fast pants but when Suho curled his tail around his side and brushed the tip over Kai's nipple, they broke off into a desperate, long howl as he clenched hard around Suho and came on the sheets.
His arms went lax after that but before he could collapse, Suho gathered his strength and pulled them both up until they were sitting on their knees, Kai in his lap with Suho's cock still buried deep inside him. The change of position made Kai whine a little and lift his hips before wriggling down again. When Suho felt around him, he was surprised to find him already getting hard again.
"So needy... You're not satisfied with one round?" He could feel Kai's dick twitch in his hand.
"Please, please, master," his pet sobbed, hips already grinding back against Suho's in tiny rhythmic motions like he couldn't help himself. "I've been a good boy! And... and master hasn't come yet," he added, barely above a whisper, dick twitching again.
"You want me to fill you up?" Suho asked, letting go of Kai's now fully erect cock and rubbed over his lower stomach before gripping his hips again and pounding up hard into him. Kai let out a moan and threw his head back, bouncing on Suho's lap until his leg muscles were shaking and he let himself fall forward onto his hands, still pushing back weakly against every of Suho's thrusts.
Suho loosened his grip on Kai's hips, soothing over the red marks his fingertips had left where he had gripped too hard, before sliding his hands over his buttcheeks and digging into the perfect globes, spreading them until he could see where his dick slid in and out of his pet's reddened hole.
He let out a loud meow at the sight. He could feel his tail going stiff behind his back as every muscle in his body tensed. A few more hard thrusts to bury himself as deep in Kai as possible and he could tell from the way Kai's back went rigid that he could feel Suho pumping his hot release into him. He only had to close his hand around Kai's erection and the human shuddered through his second orgasm before he went lax, some of Suho's cum already dribbling out of him.
Suho lowered his pet on the sheets, pulling out as carefully as he could, but his hooks still caught on the already sore ring of muscles, ripping a short, pained cry from Kai. Worried, he checked for blood, but when he pulled his fingers out of Kai, they were only stained with the white of his cum. Feeling quite proud, he curled himself against the exhausted body of his pet.
"Are you okay?" Suho asked softly and licked a bead of sweat from Kai's temple.
"Ticklish," the human complained weakly and rubbed at the spit. Suho laughed, pushed his hand away and began cleaning him in earnest. "You look like something the cat dragged in," he said between licks. "I am," Kai chuckled and tried to squirm away from Suho's tongue.
PS: This is something you never wanted to know but
the part about cat anatomy is true.
