Author's Notes: Let me explain things a little bit. This fic will have equal amounts of 2min and YunJae, so if you don't like reading one or the other, this fic isn't for you. This is a drabble series, so each part will be relatively short. Any part titled from one of the seven virtues will be 2min centric, and one of the seven sins will be YunJae centric. Please don't skip any parts though - you /will/ get lost since this series will move fast. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! Also, livejournal, stop being a dick, okay? :|

Diligence - wc 574
“We’re demons.”
Taemin’s hand froze when he heard those words, quickly turning around to take a quick glance around the room. Nothing out of the ordinary greeted his seeking eyes except for one of the cats they had picked up two days ago. His heart rate calmed down before his brow furrowed. Was he hearing things?
Locking eyes with the stray, Taemin stared into those big orbs, watching the pupils of the cat as it seemed to watch him intently. Perched on Taemin’s bed, the cat seemed to trying to tell him something but Taemin shook his head to clear that thought, laughing a little at himself as he went back to studying. Like a cat could talk.
“I’m being serious, you know,” the voice said out loud again. Shocked, Taemin jumped and looked up again, his panicked eyes landing once more on his cat. The black stray cocked its head to the side, and Taemin thought he saw a smirk pass the feline’s whiskered cheeks. But that was impossible... cats didn’t know how to smirk!
“Taemin,” he whispered to himself as he continued to stare wide-eyed at the cat, “You’re clearly going crazy. Maybe you need medicine?”
“You aren’t going crazy, though,” the cat said, its tail swishing lazily behind its furry body. Taemin continued to gape like an idiot at the furry animal, unable to believe that he was listening to a cat talk. Weren’t they just supposed to hiss, purr, and cough up hairballs? His biology class never prepared him for this!
Slowly pressing his lips together, already going into denial, the senior high school student blinked and turned around, ready to ignore the thing currently making him question his sanity.
“Are you really going to do that?” the cat asked from behind him. Taemin watched the words on his paper in front of him anxiously, willing the voice of craziness away, so intent to the point that the words started to swim.
“Hey, don’t ignore me.” Now it sounded like it was irritated, a petulant pout visible through the words.
Hyung, your cat is driving me crazy, he thought miserably, his head falling to thump hard against the desk.
There was a rustling behind him until breath skimmed the back of his neck. Goosebumps raised on his skin as he let a gasp, head shooting up. He was greeted by the sight of a naked man (who was actually quite pretty, he thought somewhere in the back of his chaotic mind) sitting calmly on his bed, legs crossed to thankfully cover his...private parts. He reached up to touch the back of his neck cautiously, still staring at the man. He had been so sure he’d felt someone breathe on him...
“W-who are you?” Taemin breathed, shocked and slightly fearful of the new arrival. The man ignored him initially, examining his nails with interest before looking up. Taemin saw cat eyes focus on him, and only then did he realize that the man had live, twitching cat ears perched upon his head.
“I told you not to ignore me,” the man replied carelessly, shrugging. Flashing a fanged smile, the man continued, “I’m Kim Jaejoong, a cat demon. That other bastard you picked up, Choi Minho, is a demon, too.”
Silence spread through the room as Taemin blinked rapidly, brain overloading. He started to feel a little dizzy before he whispered, “Lee Taemin, you have officially lost it.” At that, Jaejoong frowned in irritation, glaring at him.
“Oh, for the love of-”

“I don’t get why I have to hide from that other human.”
Yunho paused from outside Taemin’s room, brow furrowing in confusion. Looking at his brother’s door curiously, he edged to the entrance as silently as possible. He might have been hearing things, but if he hadn’t... his baby brother could be in danger!
“Hyung, just because Taeminnine eventually accepted us being demons doesn’t mean the other human will.”
Yes, that was definitely a voice coming from Taemin’s room, but a different one from the first. Why were there two men inside his brother’s room when the senior wasn’t even home yet? He raised his hand to open the door but stopped when he heard the first voice again.
“It isn’t right to be treated like this. We’re demons, for God’s sake. They should be bowing down before us, not us cowering before them!”
The carrier of the voice made Yunho pause again, blinking in shock. At first, the smoothness and grace of how the words were delivered (even when enraged) made him blink, but then the words registered, causing his eyes to widen. Demons?
As soon as he comprehended everything, his lips pressed together in a thin line. At this point, he really didn’t care who these people were - crazy men who thought they were demons were not allowed near his precious baby brother! They could have already tried to corrupt Taeminnie for all he knew, and he didn’t like the way that thought sat in the pit of his stomach. No man was going to make a move on Taemin’s purity under hyung’s watchful eyes!
Roughly pushing in the door, he marched in without a care. However, he froze when he got in, two pairs of eyes focusing on them from the bed. Two men, he thought faintly. Why were two men on Taemin’s bed?
He glared, and the shocked expressions on their faces made him feel an idle satisfaction. The satisfaction soon turned into confusion though, as one man smirked, the action drawing his attention. Yunho felt his eyes widen a little at the image the man projected, an aura of confidence, grace and superiority written in how the he lounged on the bed and the condescending way he looked at Yunho.
The taller man narrowed his eyes at that. It didn’t matter how beautiful this man was, but he was clearly asking to be kicked out and Yunho was all for it.
“Get out,” he said, crossing his arms in front of his chest. The beautiful man scoffed in reply.
“First, you take me here against my will and when I finally get used to everything, you tell me to get out?” He sneered. The other man on Taemin’s bed was silent, dark eyes staring at Yunho in a way that made his skin crawl - well, it would have, but he wasn’t paying attention to the other. All he could see was the beautiful, prideful man.
“Yeah, I don’t think so,” the man continued, making a show of cuddling into Taemin’s bed. Yunho felt his protective big brother side spike and he clenched his fists.
“I took you here against your will?” This time, Yunho scoffed. “I’ve never seen you in my life.” He was caught off guard when the two on the bed smiled.
And then, suddenly, where there had been two handsome men now sat two very familiar looking cats, staring at him with the almost-glowing eyes. He felt his own widen.
Holy shit.
