In 2015 the first hybrids were announced on television. Everywhere on the news, there were images of the strange beings, but nobody would see one in real life. Only scientists can see them to do experiments on them. They are kept in secret labs to 'protect' them from the outside world because there are just three hybrids in the whole world. They were only once in the news and people didn't speak about them anymore, but that one time was enough to make Liam Payne fascinated by the beautiful creatures. His biggest wish is to meet a hybrid in real life. Little did he know his wish would come true tonight.

~Liam's POV~ (2017)

It's 11 PM when I finally leave my friend's house. I didn't drink so I get into my car and start to drive home. My friend Harry was celebrating his birthday today and gave a party for his closest friends, Niall, Zayn and me.

When I left the party everyone was drunk. Niall was dancing in his underwear on the table. Shaking and singing to 'I'm sexy and I know it'. I laugh at the memory of him.

I'm no longer paying attention to the road, so when I see the boy who's in front of the car, it's too late. As quick as I can I try to hit the breaks, but there's no point. With a loud bang, the boy lands on my bonnet.

Shit, what just happened? I wonder before I realize I just hit someone and that someone needs help. Rapidly I run to the front of the car. The boy lays unconscious on the ground.

Oh no, what now? Swiftly I go through all my options and decide then to bring him to my flat. The cut on his forehead is not that deep. I can take care of it myself.

I pick him up and put him in the back of my car.

When I reach the flat I park the car the closest to the entrance I can before I bring him up to my flat on the third floor. The couch seems the best place to take care of the boy's cuts, so I put him there.

Suddenly I realize I don't know what the boy looks like. I look at him and see that he's really beautiful.   Feathery brown hair, plump kissable lips, smooth skin. But despite his wonderful looks, he looks like he lives on the streets. He wears a torn jeans and t-shirts. His converses are dirty and he doesn't wear socks. The only thing that's not ripped or dirty is the beanie on his head. For this time of the year, he isn't wearing much. I mean, who wears a t-shirt in winter?

I sigh and start to clean the little cuts on his arms and in his neck. When I'm done with that I start to push his hear out his face to get a better look at the big cut on his forehead. Soon I can see that the cut is way bigger than I thought. It goes over his forehead and disappears in his hair. I have to take off his beanie before I can clean that.

Carefully I remove his beanie and put it on the table. Then I turn back to the stranger on my sofa and freeze.

Are that... cat ears? Oh, my... they are.

The cotton wool falls out my hands and my mouth and eyes are wide open in shock.

He is a hybrid. A real cat hybrid and he lays here on my couch. My biggest wish just became true.

I look one more time at the boy. He is really the most beautiful being I've ever seen. The cat ears on his head make him even more wonderful than he already is.

Oh no, Liam, what are you saying? You can't be in love with him. You met him just one hour ago.

But that's the thing. I think I love him already and I haven't even spoken with him yet. If he can talk; because I don't know a lot about hybrids.

I turn my attention back to the cut. With new cotton wool I start to clean it, but when I'm halfway, the boy starts to move his head. Then his eyes start to flutter and I pull my hand back.

His eyes are completely open now. They are blue. Can it get even better?

The boy slowly scans the room. As he doesn't recognize the room he sits up in panic. But then he sees me and starts to panic even harder. He runs to a corner of the room and tries to make himself very small.

"No, don't be scared! I won't hurt you. I was just cleaning your cuts." I say when I stand up and start to walk towards him.

The kitten boy relaxes a little bit and lets his eyes wander through the room again. His eyes land on the table where his beanie is. Again he panics when he feels that his cat ears are exposed. Slowly he replaces his scared look to me as he tries to discover if I saw them. In an attempt to set him at ease, I sit down in front of him and take his hand in mine, but he tries to pull away.

"Please, don't hurt me. I'll do anything you want!" He cries out. Then he seems to realize he spoke out loud and covers his mouth with his hand.

"I'm sorry! I won't talk again. Please, don't punish me." Now he's crying with his head buried between his knees.

Startled I let go of his hand.

"Why would I punish or hurt you? You didn't do anything wrong." I ask, but don't get an answer. I sigh. "Look, I don't know what you could do or not when you were with other people, but here you can do what you want. I like to hear you talk. You have a beautiful voice."

Slowly, his blue eyes look into mine brown eyes. He looks into my eyes for a while. "Okay, but only because you seem a lot nicer than the people in the white coats." He says and gives me a little smile. 

I smile back and hold out my hand. "Hey, I'm Liam. It's nice to meet you." 

Carefully the hybrid shakes my hand. "I'm Louis."

"Louis... I'm sorry I hit you with my car." I say with an apologetic look.

"It doesn't matter, I've had worse." 

"What do you mean?" I ask worriedly.

"The people in the white coats did all kinds of experiments with me and if I didn't act like a cat, they would punish me."

My veins boil with rage when he tells me that. How could they hurt someone as innocent as Louis?

"They had no right to do that with you! Don't worry, Lou. I would never do something like that and if you like, you can stay here and live with me?" I ask hopefully. A giant smile appears on his face and before I know it, he hugs me tight.

"Thank you, Liam. You don't know how much that means to me." He calls.

"I'll take that as a yes," I say and hug him back.

~*~

A week passes and Louis has told a lot about himself by now. 

When the scientist discovered him, he was taken away from his family. Since then his life has been a hell, but he escaped the night I hit him. Louis is one of the three hybrids from the news that day in 2015. Now I also know he has a tail too and that he purrs when you scratch behind his ears.

My feelings for him have grown. I'm sure I love him, but I don't have the guts to tell him.

Today's the day my friends are going to meet Louis and I know my friends aren't very fond on hybrids. They think hybrids are dirty animals who can't think like humans and hurt other humans. They think hybrids shouldn't exist.

Zayn will be here at 2 PM. It's 1 PM now and Louis isn't even awake yet. Time to wake up the cute kitten boy.

I walk into the guest room where Louis stays. I see the boy is curled up on his pillow with his tail wrapped around him. He looks so cuddly. Shame that I have to wake him.

Softly I sit next to him on the bed. "Come on, Lou. Wakey wakey!" I say.

Nothing.

"Louis? LOU!" I scream.

Still nothing.

"If you don't wake up now I'm going to throw a glass of water over your head."

"I'm up!" He screams suddenly and jumps up. Of course he collides his head against mine.

I groan in pain. "Aw... That hurts, but Louis, go take a bath. Zayn will be here in one hour." I say. Louis mumbles sorry before he disappears to the bathroom.

I go back to the living room and turn on the television.

Ten minutes later I hear the front door open and a very happy Zayn comes in.

"Hey, Liam. Now, where's the boy you wanted me to meet?" He asks. 

Zayn is way too early. I don't want him to know Louis is a hybrid. Zayn will freak out. Of course, on that moment Louis comes in. Only dressed in boxers with a hole for his tail. 

"Liam, do you have any clothes for me?" he asks and looks up. Then he sees Zayn and his eyes go wide.

Zayn is staring at Louis with a shocked and disgusted look on his face. 

"You are keeping a hybrid in your house?" He asks and glares at me. I nod. "Are you crazy. Why is he here? You do realize that he's just an animal that can't think straight, right? Maybe he'll kill you. He doesn't even deserve to live!" He screams. Then he walks to Louis and pins him to the wall. He lifts his fist, ready to throw a punch at Louis, but before he can do that, I push him away.

"Don't you dare to hurt him, you fool! If anything, you don't deserve to live when you act like that! You don't even know him!" I scream with rage. I pushed him so hard that he ended up on the floor.

He looks up at me in disbelieve."But, Liam, he's just a lousy..." 

I cut him off. " Don't you dare to insult the one I love. Get out!" I say. 

Zayn opens his mouth to say something else, but again I scream. "OUT!"

This time he listens and walks back through the front door. This time with a guilty and regretful look in his eyes.

I turn around to see Louis standing there in shock. Quick I run to him and hug him. "He didn't mean what he said. He should just get to know you better." I whisper in his cat ear, but he says something different than I expected. 

"The one you love?... Do you ... love me?" He asks and I nod. There's no point in hiding it.

"Yes, I love you since I hit you with my car last week," I say honestly. Then I feel a pair of lips on mine.

Before I can respond he pulls away again. "I love you too, Lili." 

I smile and kiss him again. The kiss is filled with love and when I pull away the next time I ask. "Louis, would you do me the honour of being my boyfriend?" 

"Yes, of course." He says and leans in again, but before we can kiss a chorus of "oooww!" fills the room. I turn my head to see Niall, Harry and Zayn in the door. "Sorry" Zayn mouths and I smile.

Everything is perfect now!
