His heart swelled with fatherly affection as the small hand tightened around his sleeve. Relaxing more than before as he spoke with his, practically, son. The small gesture meaning more than the boy before him probably realized. He had never been one to open up, few people did he trust. He had even considered (when Elizabeth was his pet) that he was the most companionship he’d ever need. Especially after Jihyun started to distance himself from the heir.
“I suppose I was too protective of you when it came to other’s..”
His hands move away from his desk to rest upon dark slacks, memories of his friend flooding his head. Perhaps he knew, knew that Elizabeth would fill the gap he would leave.
A fond chuckle left pale lips; the proud stance Elizabeth took made his pride grow. It was not that he didn’t believe him or found it funny. It was that he believed him.
He thought he would miss Elizabeth’s previous form, the way pure white fur reminded him of a soft blanket of snow, but it was warm and softer than anything else to Jumin.
However, he still had the same eyes. Bright blue eyes that reminded him of the sky, vast and as beautiful as the sky was. It was still the same creature before him even if it didn’t look the same. Even if he would forever question how it actually came to be that he now had a human boy to look after rather than a female (What he thought to be a female) cat.
“How could you ever ruined her sheets? She should consider it a gift..”
He pauses for a moment before continuing, he was taken aback by what Elizabeth thought. He hadn’t considered that the boy would think of it in that way. Truth be it, he was still in shock. How was someone supposed to react to this situation? For someone to usually had an answer to many things, it had left him unsettled.
“Although I was.. A little shocked at first, do not think of that as my final response to this situation. After all, I do believe you. I am not as heartless to leave you all on your own.”
It may have sounded cold, but it was not intended to be. He was still thinking of it as a situation, but the warmth in his eyes was of nothing but affection.
