Getting "Crushed"

2. Getting to know your mate

Yifan made sure to give Yixing as much space as he needed since he knew he would be nervous about becoming an alphas mate. Yifan even slept on the couch their first night together and didn't lay a hand on Yixing.

The next morning Yixing left the cabin while Yifan was sleeping, the sun had just risen. The first person Yixing saw was Kyungsoo sitting by the campfire he had revived from last night. "Oh! You're alive?" Kyungsoo seemed surprised.

"Yifan didn't touch me." Yixing clarified before more questions could be asked.

"That's lucky. Looks like he'll be nice to you." Kyungsoo waved a hand for Yixing to come sit next to him.

"He seems nice. But, I just..." Yixing sighed as he sat down next to Kyungsoo.

"You feel intimidated, right?"

"Yeah."

"That's normal. Yifan is pretty scary looking. But he's really a great alpha." Kyungsoo wrapped an arm around Yixing and rubbed his back. "You'll warm up to him."

"I hope so."

The two then heard another cabin door open and a sleepy Luhan approached them, his growing stomach evident in his baggy shirt. "Morning guys." He said sitting down next to them and then rubbing his little tummie.

"Morning." Yixing smiled.

"How you feeling today?" Kyungsoo asked.

"Better than yesterday that's for sure. It's great to sleep in our own beds." He smiled happily. "Sehun will freak when he wakes up though." Luhan let a smirk appear on his face before turning to Yixing.

"How was last night for you?" He asked.

"Yifan didn't touch me at all. He slept on the couch." Yixing admitted.

"How gentlemanly of him." Luhan nodded.

"Morning." Suddenly Minseok plopped himself down next to Yixing and pulled his little brother into a hug.

"Minseok!" Yixing's smile grew apon his big brothers arrival.

"How's my little Xing? Still pure?" Minseok teased. Yixing informed him about Yifan not sleeping with him.

"Oh? Jongdae was the same. He didn't sleep on the couch, though we slept together, but he didn't lay a hand on me either. Seems they're both really nice." Minseok sighed.

"What's wrong?" Yixing asked.

"Let me guess." Luhan interrupted. "You actually want him to make a move on you don't you?" He said to Minseok.

"Well..." Minseok almost blushed. "Yeah, I kinda do. If he's gonna be my mate he may as well hurry and prove it." Minseok crossed his arms and pouted.

"Should be careful what you wish for~" Luhan sang as he rubbed his tummie that suddenly rumbled.

"Looks like someone's hungry!" Kyungsoo laughed before standing. "I'll go get some things for breakfast then shall I?"

The smell of breakfast drew the rest of the pack out of their cabins and Sehun even looked panicked before he found Luhan and resumed his usual position no more than a meter away.

"Come with me." Yifan said to Yixing some time after they'd eaten.

"Where to?" Yixing asked looking up at his alpha curiously.

"You'll see." Yifan smiled leading Yixing into the woods. Yixing didn't know whether to be excited or nervous. He liked surprises, but he didn't know what kind of surprises Yifan was capable of.
