Crave

23 - giving without being asked

The next day, Zaire left the house anxiously as Woo led him to the garage and opened the Hellcat's door for him. The smaller man sat inside and put on his seatbelt as Woo entered the driver's side. The alpha rolled the windows down and turned on the music. The garage doors opened and his car was out in seconds. He drove smoothly on the road and entered busy streets. Woo glanced at Zaire who's eyes watched people again.

Zaire watched everyone walking around freely, with no distress of getting caught. They weren't hiding from anyone. These people were living happily and with freedom, and the wolf was so jealous of them. The omega was so focused on the streets that he didn't even notice when the vehicle stopped. Zaire saw the door open on his side as Woo waited for him, onyx-colored eyes staring at him intensely. With a nervous gulp, Zaire stepped out. He looked up to see an entrance to a grand mall. People walked around with flashy and expensive items on them, going in and out.

"What are we doing here?" The omega asked nervously.

"I'm gonna buy you a few things."

The taller man's answer made Zaire confused. Why would Woo bring him to expensive places to buy stuff? He didn't deserve any of this. Woo held out his arm and Zaire took it, holding the wolf's bicep tightly. They began walking inside with Woo leading the way. The place was slightly crowded, Zaire saw high floors and walls made of black glass. He had never entered a place like this and this setting made him nervous. His grip stayed tight on the alpha's thick bicep. The two first stopped at a shoe store. Zaire felt small as he followed the taller wolf inside. His eyes widened seeing the price tags attached to various items. Zaire looked at Woo who looked unfazed.

The store had a variety of shoes, holding pairs for any occasion or season. A short woman greeted them with a friendly smile and the alpha nodded at her. He looked at Zaire who looked confused. "Pick what you like."

Zaire shook his head and the alpha raised a brow. The smaller man looked down as the wolf leaned in. Woo could smell distress on the omega and it made him frown. "What's the matter?"

"I-I think..maybe we should go somewhere else, it's too expensive here," Zaire said in a low tone so that only Woo could hear him.

The alpha smirked and set a hand on the smaller man's jaw. Zaire felt himself blush as the rough hand carressed his face gently. "There's no limit on my cards. I don't care how much it is, if you want it, you'll get it."

"Bu-" Woo placed a finger on Zaire's lips to shush him.

"Choose whatever you like." Woo nodded at the chairs in the corner. "I'm gonna go wait there."

The older man began to walk away but Zaire held the back of his hoodie. "W-Wait."

"Are you gonna make me repeat myself?" The wolf asked and Zaire shook his head.

"I'm nervous, please just.." The omega looked down again. "Can you stay by my side?"

Woo watched him for a few minutes before nodding. The omega began to look around. They started at the section of slides. Zaire found a pair of baby blue colored slides, and Woo picked them up. An attendant came over and the alpha handed them to her. She walked away to set them to the register before joining them again. Zaire went to a different section and found a black and white pair of Adidas sneakers. He pointed at them and the attendant took them away. The omega looked at Woo and found the alpha's gaze on him already.

"I..I think I'm done." Zaire said and Woo raised a brow again.

"Will that be all, sir?" The woman attending them asked.

Woo shook his head while staring at Zaire. "Choose more."

Woo's onyx-colored eyes told the younger man that they weren't leaving yet. Zaire looked around and saw a pair of pink Nike sneakers. The alpha pointed at them and they were taken away. Zaire chose two more pairs of sneakers before he saw pairs of floral sandals. The alpha saw the omega stare at them and got them packed without a word. There were many pairs of slides and sandals Zaire had looked at and put away after looking at the price.
