Work Text:
The place is quiet with him just home. He’s off work for the day. It’s just him and his intrusive thoughts. He ruffles his hair with his hand, staring out the window with his legs pulled up to his chest. He misses his boyfriend.
He hasn’t been able to properly scent him and his bunny genes are unsettled by the thought. His nose twitches as he frowns. He finally decides to get up off the bench and goes to the kitchen. He pulls his hair up and starts cleaning. He might as well spend the day doing something productive.
He makes a list of items they need from the store, humming softly as he finishes up. His boyfriend will be happy to return him to a clean house. The thing is, his boyfriend has been on a business trip. He’s not seen Yoongi in two weeks. He’s not sure when he will be back. He frowns again at the thought, shaking his head and goes to change clothes. He won’t think about it. Not right now.
-
He goes to the store, gets what he needs and checks out. He heads back home and puts everything away. He does the last few things of laundry before sitting down for dinner. He yawns, another day of waiting for Yoongi has gone by and he hasn’t returned.
He curls up in his bed that night, holding a shirt close to his chest and a few tears shed. Maybe he will be back tomorrow.

He goes to his shift at the hospital. He works as a nurse in the children’s section. They love his ears which makes him super happy. He gets to see all sorts of little hybrids that make him ecstatic but also worried for those who are in a bad condition. Today, he has to work a twelve hour shift. He will be dead on his feet but it’s only three times a week.
By the time his break rolls around, his phone rings. He pulls the device out and settles in the break room. His eyes lighten up when he sees Yoongi’s face pop up on the other side as he answers the call.
“Hyungie!”
The older’s ears twitch a little as he fondly smiles. “ Hi baby.”
He smiles widely, missing his boyfriend so so much. “I miss you, hyung.”
Yoongi frowns, his ears drooping ever so little. “ I miss you too, baby. I promise I’ll be home soon. ”
Jungkook sighs, listening to his boyfriend as he starts to talk. That’s all he’s been able to do for nearly three weeks now. Just look and listen. He’s not able to touch or feel. Or scent. He misses him so much. He doesn’t even realize he’s crying until he hears Yoongi’s unsettling sound. He blinks a few times and wipes the tears away. “Sorry, hyung. I didn’t mean to start crying.”
The older man’s frown deepens, seeming troubled. “ Hyung is sorry that he can’t be there for you, dear. I promise I’ll return soon as possible.”
“You keep making that promise but you still haven’t come home, hyung,” he whispers softly, afraid to speak too loud for his voice to break.
“ Baby…”
Jungkook shakes his head and his alarm goes off for the end of his break. “I’ve got to go. I’ll talk later.”
He ends the call and quickly goes to the bathroom to wipe his face before returning to work.

By the time he returns home that night, he feels drained. His body aches and he’s mentally tired. He hangs his bag on the coat hanger by the door and slides his shoes off. He heads to the bathroom to take a quick shower, ridding himself of any germs. He finds an oversized shirt to pull over his body before slipping into bed. He’s thankful he ate dinner before coming home. It’s not long before he falls asleep with a pillow held to his chest.
It’s sometime later in the night when he feels the bed sink beside him and arms wrapping around his middle. He blinks wearily, opening his eyes and turning in the hold. He sees familiar feline eyes looking back into his own and he can’t help it when he bursts into tears. Yoongi pulls him into his chest, letting the bunny hybrid cry his heart out.
Yoongi runs his fingers through the younger’s hair, humming softly to him. His own heart hurts at how much his baby is hurting. He should’ve changed his schedule up more so he’d be able to come home. He knows the hybrid can only go so long without being held and scented. He fucked up.
He kisses the top of Jungkook’s head, a few tears falling down his own cheeks. “I’m here now, little love. I promise I won’t leave again for sometime.”
-
The next morning, the two wake up in each other’s arms and legs intertwined. It takes Jungkook a few minutes to orient himself. He blinks a few times, taking in the raven hair and pale skin. He scoots closer, nosing alone his hyung’s scent gland and breathing him in.
His bunny ears twitch on top of his head, happy and content. His hyung is home.
He hears a soft chuckle and a kiss is pressed against his cheek. A small blush forms on Jungkook’s cheeks, making him bury his face into the older’s chest. “You know I don’t care if you scent me, baby.”
Jungkook shakes his head, wrapping his arms around Yoongi’s waist and pulling him closer. “Please don’t leave me.”
Yoongi hums, his chest rumbling.
“I’ll stay as long as you want me, my love.”
-
The two spend the day curled up on the couch, watching dramas and talking softly to one another. Jungkook knows he will eventually need to get ready for his night shift, dreading leaving his hyung’s arms. He has to tell himself that Yoongi will be there when he gets home. He’s not going anywhere.
Yoongi presses soft kisses down his jaw and down his neck. He noses at his scent gland, leaving a small kiss against it. “I’ll be here when you get home, dear.”
Jungkook sighs, leaning his head to the side so the older man will continue scenting him. He lets out a small sound when the panther hybrid nips his neck, his cheek tinting pink. “Hyungggg,” he whines, turning to look up at him.
Yoongi only smirks, diving in for a kiss and pulling the bunny close to his own body. The two get lost within one another, small sounds escaping the younger man. Yoongi moves to hover over him, biting down on his bottom lip as he slips his tongue inside. It’s been so long since they’ve tasted each other, both wanting so much more.
Finally, they part. They are both panting heavily. Jungkook looks dazed, his hair framed around his head in a halo. Yoongi pecks his lips one more time, smiling softly. “I love you, Kook-ah.”
Jungkook smiles too, lifting his arms to wrap loosely around the panther hybrid’s neck. “I love you too, Hyungie.”
