Getting "Crushed"

6. Returning to your mate

"You got everything Yixing?" Tao asked as he slung his bag over his shoulder and lifted up some shopping bags onto the bed Minseok made.

"Yeah, hang on! I'm just putting the things Amber gave me today in my bag." Yixing said as he quickly stuffed a small bottle of suppressants in his bag hopping the other two in the room wouldn't see or ask.

-a few hours earlier-

Amber walked into the room shaking the little bottle in disapproval. "I still don't recommend taking these Yixing. But if you must. One with every meal should be good." She said as she handed the little omega the bottle and a thick book. "Here's the book I promised too."

"Thank you so much for being my teacher Amber." Yixing smiled a sweet dimpled smile that made Amber reach out and hug him.

"Anytime you cutie."

-present-

Yixing zipped up his bag with a smile on his face. He felt like he knew so much now that his training had finished. It had been an intense three days his only break was to go the hotel and sleep, or when Amber had made him tea while he was reading part of a book that was about what she was teaching him. "What bags do you want me to carry?" Minseok asked Tao as the beta counted their bags to make sure they had them all.

"I think you and I should carry the groceries and medical supplies along with some clothes and Yixing should carry just clothes. Considering we're stronger than him." Tao replied dividing up the bags on the bed.

"That sounds good. Lucky I'm strong." Minseok laughed. After they were ready Tao still carrying much more than even Minseok, they left the hotel.

-

"Yifan and Jongin should be waiting for us when we get there." Tao said as they neared the forest and the meeting spot.

"Good. Then they can carry some stuff. There's no way we could lug all this back by ourselves. I know you're strong Tao but there's still no way." Minseok said.

"My eye is itchy." Yixing said out of the blue. He hadn't spoken for a while.

"Is that why you're so quiet?" Tao asked with a laugh.

"Yeah. I'm carring too much I can't itch it." Yixing complained.

"Which eye?" Minseok asked trying to transfer some bags to his other hand and not having much luck. "Tao, can you hold this for a second?" He practically threw a few bags at Tao who only just managed to catch them against his stomach.

"Right one." Yixing closed said eye. Minseok reached his now free hand to Yixings right eye and rubbed the corner fixing a wonky eyelash as he did.

"How's that?"

"Perfect. Thanks Minseok." The little omega smiled.

"No problem." Minseok returned back to Tao to take the bags slipping from his grasp.

"We're nearly there." Tao said relieved that he didn't have to hold the bags any longer. His arms hurt.

After a few more minutes walking the three reached the clearing which was the meeting place and gladly plonked all the bags down.

"They're not here yet?" Minseok asked looking at the sky, it was nearly sunset, exactly when they planned to meet.

"No. They're here." Tao said looking towards the direction of home where out came the two they were waiting for.

"How'd everything go?" Yifan asked Tao as Jongin started to pick up bags ready to go home.

"Good. Amber said Yixing passed his training with flying colors." Tao turned to Yixing who smiled brightly.
