Sebastian looked over his shoulder and at his mother when the hybrid asked if it was allowed downstairs. If it was Sebastian's choice, it would be staying there and not allowed to venture out of the kitchen unless it was for the bathroom, but it was really his mother's choice.

"Uhm, how about you both go upstairs and get to know each other?" His mother suggested, a false smile on her face, "I need to talk to your father about something, anyways."

"Mum, I'm not going upstairs," Sebastian said rolling his eyes.

"Don't argue with me, Sebastian Smythe!" His mother snapped, "Go upstairs, now!"

Knowing that his head would be mounted on the wall above the fireplace in the lounge, Sebastian just grumbled and started to head up the stairs, stopping as he noticed that the hybrid hadn't moved. Frowning, Sebastian raised his eyebrows at the thing.

"Well?" He said "Do you mind moving?"

The hybrid said nothing and just ran upstairs again, hopefully to his room; Sebastian quickly followed.
He pushed open the door and saw the hybrid standing next to his bed with his arms folded. The loose shirt it was wearing had fallen down its shoulder and Sebastian was trying hard not to see just how pale its skin really was.

The hybrid's gaze stayed on Sebastian as he made his way to sit down on the bed, his voice firm - at least compared to how it was on the stairs - when Sebastian had gotten comfortable on his bed.

"If I'm not allowed on the bed, then where am I supposed to sit?" It asked, raising its eyebrows. "Never mind that, where am I supposed to sleep?"

Brilliant. This was going to be difficult, wasn't it? With a heavy sigh, Sebastian leaned back on the bed.

"Fine, you can sit on my bed, but you're sure as hell not going to be sharing it with me,"

"Then what am I going to do when I need to sleep?!" The hybrid look disgusted as he pointed to a cat bed at the opposite end of the room. "I'm not sleeping in that!"

"I'll see if you can sleep in the camp bed or the spare room. I honestly don't care as long as it's not my bed. I don't really want to choke on your damned fur when I'm trying to sleep."

"You're an asshole, did you know that?" The hybrid snapped at him.

Slowly raising an eyebrow, Sebastian looked down at the hybrid.

"I thought your last owners said you were well behaved?" Sebastian drawled.

"Fuck you," Sebastian couldn't help but laugh when the hybrid actually growled at him - yep. It was definitely part cat.

There was an awkward silence for a few moments - it seemed like neither of them knew what to say to one another. But what did you say to a boy that was part cat?

"So, do you have a name?" Sebastian asked, figuring it was a good place to start, "Or can I just go ahead and start calling you 'Princess'?"

"My name's Kurt!" The hybrid snapped, " So I'd prefer you call me that rather than any stupid nicknames."

" I think I prefer Princess," Sebastian smirked rather cruelly at Kurt. He didn't think that Kurt would be any less annoying than an actual cat, but it was so amusing to see how angry Kurt was getting.

"Why did your owners get rid of you then, Princess?" Sebastian asked, "Were you too fussy for them and they couldn't be bothered dealing with you?"

"No," Kurt said stiffly. "That's not what happened at all."

"Then what happened, Princess?" Sebastian asked , quirking his eyebrows "There must have been a reason for them to get rid of you if you were so well behaved and lovely."

"To put it simply, only one person in that family actually liked and wanted me." Kurt said flatly, "All this about me being lovely is bullshit in their eyes, unless it came from their youngest son."

" I don't actually know who said that," Sebastian said. "All I know is that it came from your old owners."

"Well, they're lying," Kurt said stiffly. "They didn't like me. They would've said anything to get rid of me."

"So, why didn't they want you?" Sebastian asked, the teasing actually starting to disappear from his voice. He was actually curious. "There must have been a reason for it."

Kurt shrugged. "I don't know," he said. "Things were going okay with them for a while – they didn't like me, but they didn't hate me either. Things changed though just over a few months ago, and they just... couldn't be bothered with me anymore."

"Did you spray on too many valuables? Was it costing too much money for them to replace everything?" Sebastian smirked. So much for not teasing Kurt.

"I can assure you I don't spray on anything," Kurt said, narrowing his eyes; Sebastian laughed when seeing his ears flatten against his head. "And before you say anything else, no, I'm not neutered. Just because I have the ears and tail doesn't mean everything about me is cat-like."

"Then what other qualities do you have?" Sebastian asked, quirking his eyebrows in interest, "Or is," He waved his hand to gesture Kurt's ears and tail, "All that just for show?" He knew from before that Kurt at least growled whenever he was annoyed, but Sebastian always found joy in pushing people's buttons. That, and there was the small chance that the growling was all Kurt did noise-wise that was cat-like.

"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Kurt sneered as he crossed his arms further

"I guess I'll just have to force anything else out of you, won't I?" Sebastian smirked widely, leaning towards Kurt.

"Ugh, you're so creepy!" Kurt's face scrunched up in disgust as he backed away from Sebastian, his ears flattening against his head even further.

"You're going to love it, I can bet on it," Sebastian said, his smirk never faltering. Sebastian didn't really know why he was acting like this around Kurt, but he couldn't deny that how Kurt was behaving when he was riling him up was absolutely hilarious.

"You keep telling yourself that," Kurt said, rolling his eyes and turning to look away from him.

Sebastian didn't know what had possessed him to do so, but he couldn't help himself when Kurt turned his back. He reached out his hand and ran his hand through Kurt's hair once.

The reaction was instantaneous. Kurt leapt about a foot in the air as he fell out of the bed. He hissed loudly at Sebastian, ears completely invisible as they disappeared into his hair, his tail swishing furiously behind him. At his reaction, Sebastian couldn't help but let out a short, rather cruel laugh. Just as he thought.

"Well, you're definitely not just the appearance then," Sebastian said, still laughing, slowly walking towards the door, "I think we're going to have a lot of fun together, kitty."

A growl emitted from Kurt's throat, and Sebastian only just heard him yell when he left the room, "My name is Kurt!"
