Getting "Crushed"

5. Being apart from your mate

"Ok Yixing, that's all for today." Amber said just as the clock struck 7pm.

"Thank you." Yixing replied with a smile.

"Let's see if the other two are back." Amber left the room followed by Yixing. In the living room on the couch was a very happy Minseok and a smiling Tao, they were chatting. "Looks like you two get along well." Amber said catching their attention.

"Seems so." Tao said as he stood. "You done for today?" He asked.

"Yep." Yixing smiled.

"Same time tomorrow Yixing." Amber said giving the male omega a hug before the three left her apartment.

"Im so tired." Minseok sat on the bed in their hotel room and lied down after a moment.

"What did you guys do while I was with Amber?" Yixing asked taking the takeout they bought from Tao so he could dish it up.

"Wondered around... Ate... And that's about it." Tao answered lying back on the couch. "Tomorrow though we need to start getting supplies to bring home since we're here. Kyungsoo gave me a list of cooking... Things he wants and everyone else has clothes and personal stuff they want." Tao took out three pieces of paper from his bag and put them on the coffee table in front of him.

"That's what we can do tomorrow and the next day then." Minseok said rolling over. "What does Jongdae want?" He asked curiously.

"Take a look. The things he wants are under his name on the second page." Tao said leaning back on the couch. Minseok crawled off the bed and picked up the paper scanning the first page which was Kyungsoos cooking things. The second page had Yifans, Jongdaes, Jongins, Sehuns and Chanyeols items. Minseok assumed that the 3rd page had the omegas things. Trust the betas to be first. Minseok read through Jongdaes requests and blushed when he saw the second item, the item may have been on the rest of the betas lists too along with the alphas but he still felt his stomach flop when he saw it.

"You'll have to make us a list too since you won't be with us." Tao said to Yixing as the omega placed three plates down on the coffee table. "You'll need to let us know what kind of medical supplies and stuff you'll need."

"Ok. I'll ask Amber tomorrow to help me make a list for you. Is it cool if I put some personal things on it too?" Yixing asked sitting next to Minseok who put the papers back down on the table.

"Go ahead. Everyone else has." Tao shrugged. "My stuff isn't listed because I'm buying it. Plus you two since Yifan figured you'd be with me so you can just pick."

"Fair enough." Yixing and Tao started to eat. "You all right Minseok?" Yixing asked.

"Oh, yeah. I'm fine." His brother smiled picking up his plate and eating too.

That night Minseok was first to sleep, sprawling himself in the middle of the bed like a starfish. Yixing followed soon after reading over the notes he took that day, he sleepily crawled over to his sleeping brother, snuggling up to him putting a leg over his. It was too warm to have the blankets on them so all the blankets were on the floor. Tao watched the brothers for a moment debating wether or not he could get away with sleeping on the couch, he then decided that since he sleeps longer than them he wouldn't, so he reluctantly laid in the bed on the other side of Minseok facing away from the two sleeping omegas.

The next morning when Tao woke up his arms and legs felt very heavy. He didn't remember his limbs being this heavy. He looked to his side and saw Minseok clinging to his arm sleeping and his leg was trapped between the omegas. Tao looked to his other side and it was exactly the same only Yixing. Not only was he surprised that he woke up before them but he distinctly remembers he and Minseok were switched. That was when Tao realized he couldn't move. For omegas, they had a good grip. Especially Minseok. Tao struggled for a bit and finally one of the two woke. It was Minseok. "Morning." He mumbled, sleepily rubbing his eyes.
