Changmin sighed as he looked at his phone He had an antique store to look after.   Looking around it was already late in the afternoon.  He had ways to get to the store during the day.  But today he really wanted to stay at home and lay around.  Looking at this phone though he had several messages from the workers there something about a new piece coming in.

With another sigh he got up and grabbed a shirt it smelled clean so he decided on wearing it.  Going to his fridge he pulled out some blood for a quick breakfast.  “ahh I hate this shit”  he muttered opening the blood pack and pouring it into a cup.  Walking out of his apartment he looked down the hall to the window.  It was later in the evening then he thought it was.   He walked back into the apartment he’d have to wait a little longer to get down the hall safe. 

I’ll be there soon I can't get out yet 

He sent the message to his workers and turned on the tv.  It would only be 15 minutes or so before the sun was at the right angle for him to get out.  He watched the clock as he watched the tv.  He didn’t want toke the others wait too long. 

Soon Changmin was on his way through the sewers grabbing his phone making a few calls as he made his way to the shop.  looking up at the access he had in the store basement he smiled taking the climb.  

“Ok, what is it you need me to look at,  He asked dusting himself off as he walked upstairs from the basement.  his worker showed him a piece that was sitting on the counter. He walked up looking at it. "Now where did they get this beauty. I haven't seen one in a hundred years" He looked at the sword it was ceremonial. "Well have to run a few tests to see if it's real but if it would be a good buy" He set the sword down and looked up at the customer that brought it in. 

          “you may as well be a cat dad at this point.” jungsoo chuckles lightly, scratching behind the ears of his newest addition to his apartment. the contrast of the colours and patterns on the new cat compared to cat was intriguing, and the thought of coming home to two felines cuddled up together made him smile.

“no coffee for a while? how do you cope?” the incubus asked, leaning against the counter, resting his chin on his right hand. noticing the small sigh and nod after changmin took the first sip boosted jungsoo’s ego just a small bit. he knew he made pretty good coffee, he practically lived off it most nights when he had clients and a long night. 

“five?! surely you end up with fur everywhere, when i first took cat in, he pretty much left fur everywhere and every time i left the house, i’d always find fur. it was even worst when i was wearing black.” he says, grinning slightly, letting his eyes fall back onto the new one as she walks around, sniffing. “hmm, i’m not too sure. i already know mira and fei are gonna love her, so i might leave the name down to them — but i remember mira suggested waffles in the group chat. kitten was another name that was suggested though! we’ll see.” jungsoo responds, a soft grin on his face. “how have things been, anyway? anything special, exciting in your life?”

Changmin laughed thinking about being a cat day.  “At least I’m someone dad, not something us vampires really have any more”  he nodded.  he could sire a vampire but he was sure that wasn’t the same as having a child. He always wondered what it would have been like to have a family.  To raise a son or daughter.  Though he’d much rather raise a daughter in this era than the one he was born into.  Women had more freedoms in this era than when he was human. 

“Well, I'm a vampire so it's not as if I need coffee" He shrugged. He never understood the addiction some had to coffee. It was sure to be helpful wake you up, give you energy but to be so dependent on it. It was like it was a drug. "I just indulge in the flavor now and then"

          the second jungsoo opens the door for changmin, the second he walks in, cat is already present and sniffing around in attempt to find out information of the new visitors. jungsoo chuckles lightly, muttering a quick ‘be right back’. he walks into the kitchen, heading to the coffee maker and quickly putting in another coffee sache. as he hears changmin set the carrier down, he rushes back with a wide grin on his face. “aigoo, she’s so cute!” jungsoo awes, attention focusing on the fur of the cat. “i guess i need to think of a name, i suck at them. hence why this cat, is called cat.” he chuckles, motioning to cat beside him while he checks out the new feline.

when the beeping of the coffee makers goes off, jungsoo stands up, motioning for his gang mate to follow him. “so how many do you actually have?” he asks as he grabs a mug off the stand and pours the coffee into the mug. “do you just find strays and bring them home?” opening the fridge, he sets the milk on the counter, followed by sugar and a spoon, just in case changmin liked his coffee sweet.

“She is I’d keep her if I didn’t have too many,” he said watching Jungsoo with the cat. He thought about the other cats he had at home.  They all were loved equally some got into more trouble than others but that was cats for you.  He smiled as he followed Jungsoo grabbing the mug.  He poured some milk and sugar I to the coffee.  “Thanks, I haven’t had coffee in a while.”   He held the mug to his lips taking in the scent.  with a small nod, he sipped from the coffee and sighed.  It was a pretty good coffee.  

          the thought had crossed jungsoo’s mind before, should he get cat a friend? originally, when he first had moved in, he didn’t expect to have a kitten at the time that wandered onto his balcony somehow and pretty much made himself at home, and he certainly didn’t expect for him to stay around, yet he did, which caused jungsoo to practically take the furry creature in. ever since, cat had warmed up to much that the incubus couldn’t see his life without him.

it was in the night bloods groupchat that changmin had asked if anybody had wanted a little furry friend, as he’d kept taking in too many, and so jungsoo thought it was the perfect chance to snag a friend for cat. and so with the plan in action, he was waiting for the vampire to arrive at his apartment.

he’s chilling in the kitchen drinking some coffee when he hears the knocks, and he places his drink down and heads to the front door. “come in, come in.” he opens the door and says, a bright and happy smile on his face. “do you want anything? coffee? water?”

Changmin smiled walking in setting the pet carrier down once in the door.  “some coffee sounds lovely”  he said moving to open the carrier.  Pulling the tawny-colored cat out he smiled.  “Here she is,”  He said petting the cat on the head.  “I never got the chance to give her a name.”  He thought she was a beautiful cat and almost hated to give her up.  But he really was taking in too many animals. 

“Come here little one,”  Changmin said picking up a tawny colored cat.  ‘Yes, we found a new home for you”  he smiled petting the cat behind its hears.  “You’ll be someone else's princess won't you”  He looked at the cat a bit more before putting it in one of his pet carriers.  He was sure Jungsoo was going to be a good pet parent. 

“Ok let's go”  Changmin walked out of his apartment smiling at the other cats that were watching him. “I’ll be back later,”  he said to them as he shut the door.  Lifting the carrier up to look into it he smiled at the cat who just stared back.   “Let start your new journey.”  he smiled putting the carrier in his car and getting in.

Changmin sat at the cafe he said he’d meet Minki at he was early so he sat at a table outside so he’d see the other arrive.  “I'm waiting for someone,”  he told the waitress that had approached his table.   He looked at his watch realizing just how early he was.  He sighed leaning back pulling out his phone.  He decided to go through his emails while he waited.  He was about halfway through the first one when he smelled Minki looking up he smiled.
