Memories

Kookie awoke with a start, not remembering right away where he was. Once he realized he was safe curled up next to Jimin he relaxed. He glanced up at the sleeping figure beside him and couldnt help but smile. How could someone still be so beautiful first thing in the morning. He moved slowly to get out of bed but was quickly pulled back down. It was obvious Jimin was still asleep but he suddenly wrapped a leg around him, holding him in place. Kookie had never been cuddled before, but he had to admit he liked the way this felt, and kind of hoped it wouldn't end. Jimin makes this little whine in his throat and Kookie cant stop himself from smiling. Kookie decided to get a little more sleep since it was probably the first time in a very longtime he had slept more than a few hours at a time. They both stayed like this a couple of more hours before Jimin finally started to wake up. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the position that he was in, but since Kookie didn't seem to mind and actually seemed to be asleep, he didnt move. He buried his face in Kookies back inhaling his scent, which smelled of cherry blossoms and citrus. He tighted his arms around Kookie a little more and, did he just imagine Kookie pressing himself back more? Maybe with everything Kookie had been through, he needed to feel the safety of Jimins arms. When he felt Kookie stir a little more, he decided to speak and see if Kookie was as alright with this as he was. "Good morning my bunny, how did you sleep, well I hope"? Jimin could feel something stirring inside him, a want for Kookie to stay with him, but he didn't know what Kookies story was or if he could even stay. He didnt know how he could feel this so quickly, they just met yesterday, had only talked a little bit. He drifted in his thoughts about what he was feeling and had failed to notice Kookie turning over in his hold. He realized he was face to face with that cute bunny smile again and he felt his heartbeat increase. "Hi", Jimin stutters out, looking into Kookies dark eyes, feeling a fire course through his veins. All he wanted to do was make Kookie his and protect him. Kookie giggles at how cute Jimin looked when caught off guard. He wanted to explain the nightmare he had, had last night and why he was so frightened the day before. "I know your curious about last night and how I came to be here, and I want to tell you. I was taken by an evil alpha from my pack. He fought our older alpha, knowing he could beat him, and ended up killing him. The only reason he did it was to take the pups of the current pack, which I was one of at the time. I don't know if I reminded him of another wolf he didn't like, but I was never treated like the others. He would be beat me, bite me, let the others do the same". Jimin could feel Kookie trembling in his hold, and couldn't imagine what his poor bunny had been through. Kookie let out a small sob before he continued, "He would take advantage me when I would get my heats. I would try to run but he would force himself on me, knowing in that state I couldn't fight back. I was always weak anyway due to not much food. He would give me just enough to keep me alive. I was I guess I was more useful alive than dead. Then about a week ago, they all went on a big hunt and there was no one watching me. I made a run for it and just kept going. Yesterday was the first time I have really stopped for more than just an few hours. When I saw you, I was scared, I was about to have to fight, knowing I would lose in my state. Honestly at that point I would have probably excepted death. But you were nice, invited me in and even fed me, I havent felt real kindness since I was a pup. Jimin couldn't stop the growl this time, holding Kookie as tight as he possible could. Kookie was sobbing at this point, not being able to shake the memories and images in his head. Jimin couldn't imagine sending Kookie away at this point. "Kookie, I know I said you could stay a few days", before he could finish his sentence he could feel Kookie tense up. Did he think he was going to tell him he had to leave. He let his scent wash over the poor bunny to help him relax and finished what he was going to ask him. "Would you like to stay here wth me, permanently. This would be your new home. The guest room would become your own, I can take you to town and help you get some stuff to make it feel like your own space". Kookie slowly lifted his head, tears still streaming down his cheeks, but he didn't look scared or upset, happy maybe? He quickly shook his head, not able to speak just yet, but Jimin couldn't stop the huge smile on his face. He didn't know what the pull was to keep Kookie with him but there was no way he was letting him go now
