Allergies
Tumblr media
One shot!
Paring: shifter!Seonghwa x reader Genre: fluff Word Count: 1k+ Warnings: mild nudity (nothing descriptive I promise!)
Author’s note: here it is, the result of the poll I posted a while ago! It’s not much but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and it’s also to help me get back into writing again! I hope you enjoy and as always likes and reblogs are greatly appreciated!
Tumblr media
The weight on my chest was unfamiliar. I scrunch my face against the bright light coming through my window, stirring slightly before a soft sound makes my eyes open wide. Surprise was an understatement when I saw a fluffy black cat curled up on my chet, its eyes closed and a look of content on its face. I love cats, and I wouldn’t be so surprised if it wasn’t for the fact that I didn't own a cat. 
I looked around my room and noticed my window open and I realized that that’s where he must’ve come in from. I sighed but smiled to myself. It could’ve been worse! A raccoon could’ve walked itself in here but instead the fluffiest cat imaginable did and made himself at home on my chest. 
I reached a hand up and gently scratched his head, smiling wider when he began to purr louder. He yawned before he raised his head, looking at me with sleepy eyes before he began to stretch. 
“Good morning friend,” I said softly, surprised by how calm he was. He didn’t run for the window at all, instead he stretched himself out before relaxing down on me again. I giggled when he began to rub his head against my cheek, the purring growing louder as he did so. It was adorable and I smiled despite myself, but I could already feel my eyes starting to go dry. 
I didn’t have a cat because I was allergic. 
“You’re so cute! Do you have a name?” I asked him, sitting up and letting him slide into my lap. I checked for a collar and I frowned a little, finding none. “No collar… is someone looking for you?” I knew he wouldn’t answer me, but the way he looked at me made it seem like he understood everything I was saying. 
He looked at me with the brightest eyes I’ve ever seen on a cat, it looked like he had stars in his eyes. I smiled down at him and he twirled in my lap, running his tail along my face. I internally sighed, knowing that I needed to go and take some medicine and wash my hands. I couldn’t help myself though, I had a soft spot for cats. “I think I’ll call you Star.”
🐈‍⬛
After I got myself ready for the day I took Star to the vet. He didn’t like it a whole lot but he behaved himself, preening when the vet complimented how well mannered he was. The vet couldn’t find a chip on him but he was perfectly healthy. The vet theorized he might’ve been abandoned by his previous owner recently and offered to keep him here if I wasn’t willing to keep him. 
I thought about it for a moment, my allergies coming to the forefront of my mind. They weren’t so bad, but the stuffy nose and dry eyes might become an issue later on. Was I willing to keep a cat and deal with the allergies just because he crawled through my window and was cute? 
A paw gently swatting at my arm brought me out of my thoughts and I looked down at Star. He looked up at me with a curious gaze, meowing as if he was asking me “Well, will you?” 
I smiled down at him and looked back up at the vet. “I’ll bring him home.” 
🐈‍⬛
A trip to the pet store later for toys, a bed, and food and Star had made himself right at home. He was a playful kitty, always chasing after a toy before curling himself up on my lap. He had already taken over a portion of my heart as well, despite each time he rubbed himself against my face my nose grew stuffier. 
Over the course of a few weeks I got to know more of his personality as well. He was more of a night owl but he didn’t miss a chance to gently pat my face to wake me up in the morning. It was his way of saying he was hungry, and he was never demanding with it. He was the most patient cat I’ve ever seen, and I loved having him by my side. 
I worried that when I went back to work he would get into trouble, but when I came back after a day I found him sitting in front of the door, meowing happily when he saw me again. 
“Hello Star,” I cooed, looking around the room as I leaned down to pet him. I didn’t see any trace of a mess and I was happy to know Star hadn’t gotten into anything he shouldn't. I glanced towards the kitchen and I saw a pot on the stove and my brows scrunched in confusion. I rose again and walked towards it, Star on my heels. I saw the pot was dirty, and I wracked my brain for when I used it. Did I forget to clean and put it away? I looked towards the sink and noticed one too many bowls in it as well, confusion evident on my face. 
I was drawn away from the questions running through my head by a paw patting my leg. I looked down to see Star lowering back onto his feet, walking over to his bowl with a dramatic meow. He gave me a questioning look and I smiled. “Sorry Star, I’ll get your dinner right now don’t worry.”
🐈‍⬛
After the pot incident, more and more weird things began to happen around my house in the weeks after. I was a forgetful and clumsy person, but I wasn’t one to displace food I had set aside for dinner that night. More and more things were starting to be misplaced as well such as toiletries and even towels would be missing but the next time I looked for them they would magically reappear as if they were never gone. I was starting to become worried that someone had broken in but there was never anything that was actually stolen, and Star acted like nothing was amiss. 
I was pondering over what could possibly be the cause of it all before Star hopped up into my lap, pulling me from my thoughts. I smiled down at him, giggling as he began to rub against me. It was enough to send me into a sneezing fit, making him jump from my lap and give me a concerned look from the floor. 
Once the sneezing subsided I grabbed a tissue and blew my nose. “Sorry Star, I didn’t mean to scare you. You made my allergies act up by doing that,” I told him. 
Star seemed to freeze, looking at me with wide eyes. It was so peculiar and so unlike him that I looked behind me to check if he hadn’t spotted something on the wall behind me. By the time I turned back around, Star was no longer there but instead a tall man with fluffy black cat ears and a tail was crouched in front of me. He was looking at me with familiar wide eyes and my breath caught in my throat. He was very much naked. 
“I didn’t know you were allergic to cats!” 
My screaming echoed around the house. 
🐈‍⬛
One near tv remote to the head and a wardrobe change for cat-who-is-now-a-man later we were both seated on the couch, my heart much calmer than it was a few minutes ago. 
“So you’re Star, and you’ve been a shifter this entire time?” I asked him, rubbing my forehead in stress. 
The man nodded. “I am, and I have been. My name is actually Seonghwa,” he explained. He gave me a sheepish look. “I didn’t want you to find out this way, I was hoping to ease you into it.”
“Why did you show up here in the first place?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him. 
“The vet was actually right when you took me to get checked out. My previous owner had suddenly moved and left me behind. It was cold and your window was open, so I just walked in. I had planned on just staying the night to stay warm and I would leave before you even woke up, but I was more tired than I realized and you caught me.” He looked down at his hands. “I was going to leave when you were at work but you were just so nice and your presence is very comforting, I didn’t want to leave right away. I’m sorry.” 
“Did your previous owner know you’re a shifter?”
He shook his head. “She never knew, you’re the first to know.” He went quiet for a moment. “Y/n, I’m really sorry for invading your personal space and taking advantage of your kindness. I promise I was going to tell you at some point. If this is too weird for you I understand and I can leave you alone, you won't ever have to see me again if you don’t want to.” 
I looked him over again, taking in the man that was before me. The ears and tail were so familiar, there was no mistaking that he really was my Star. It’s not like he’s done anything wrong either, he was shifting and getting himself food and bathing while I was away. He was doing normal things while trying to not freak me out at the same time. 
My gaze finally met his own and I chuckled when I saw the same sparkling eyes staring back at me. “You don’t have to leave if you don’t want to, but I think we need to get you some actual clothes if you stay.” 
I barely finished my sentence before he was kneeling before me, his arms wrapped around my waist and his face buried in my lap. “Thank you! Thank you so much! I’ll do whatever I can to make it up to you,” he cried, his voice muffled. 
I giggled and patted my hand on his head. “There’s no need for that, but if you’re insistent on repaying me, maybe just help with cleaning up the fur?” 
He smiled up at me, his eyes glimmering. “That’s the least I can do.”

another tpac ch 11 snippet
...
“Stop looking up KVM switches, Korv—my setup is fine.”
“It’s for me,” Korvin insists. When no one believes him, he amends, “And it could be for you too, Barbie.”
“You don’t need that kind of setup,” Dick absently calls out as he enters the room, holding a couple of documents and envelopes under his arm.
Korvin ignores him. “Just thinkin’ it’d be really convenient: less of a rat’s nest, multiple interface points, rack mounting—”
“—I do not want to see you raccooning around my cables,” Babs says firmly. “Appreciate it, but no.”
Korvin’s mouth twists into a petulant scowl as he turns back to his assigned reading; Gotham Academy is reopening their campus for the spring. Tim’s due back in his dorm end of next week—meaning he’s supposed to be home for his dad to drop him off the day before—but he finds his motivation for school has reached an all-time low.
“Korvin Kwan—what the hell?!” Dick’s indignant question interrupts their peace. The large envelope he was carrying earlier has been opened, revealing three large 8” x 10” landscape photos on the table top. Each one is a blown-up snapshot, slightly blurry like through another layer of glass, of an urban intersection and focused on the first car at the stoplight.
If Tim squints, turns the photograph sideways, and backs up a few feet—it wouldn’t be so obvious who was seated in the front. At that angle, though, he—
Dick snatches one of the photos off the table, puts his face right to the print, and pulls back to stare blankly at Tim. The lack of expressed anger is a warning sign; Cass abruptly gets up and moves to stand next to Babs’s wheelchair. Meanwhile, the older vigilante looks back and forth between Tim and Korvin, jaw tight as he’s working through some internal debate.
When Dick finally decides to fixate on Korvin, Tim can't explain the little bit of affront mixed in with his reflexive relief.
