A Simple Love Story [C]

"Ow!" Devin yelped as Ashley tightened a tape measure around him.

"Sorry. Little looser then." Ashley mumbled to herself. "That'll be good. Why are you wearing Balz's shirt?" Devin looked up at her, frowning.

"I needed something else to wear." Devin mumbled. He let out gasp when Ashley grabbed his neck.

"Don't you dare hurt Josh. If you do I will hurt you." Ashley spoke bitterly. "He's been hurt enough as it is." Ashley let him go, walking to a rack of cloth. "I'm doing this for a favor to Balz. He's like a brother to me."

"I don't understand what you mean. Why would I hurt him?" Devin asked.

"I understand you are just a pup but that is still no reason to not use your common sense." Ashley snit. "Stand up straight." Ashley sighed. She held a black strip of clothe up to his chest, nodding her head. "This'll look nice. How long are you staying?"

"I'm not sure. Josh said I could stay with him if I wanted." Devin lightly smiled. "I want to."

"He'll be happy if you do." Ashley stated. "I'll have it done by tomorrow morning."

"Thank you." Devin whispered. He slowly stepped down off the stool.

"Remember what I said pup. Josh is one of the most important people here, both to me and others. You hurt him, and you'll pay." Devin quickly nodded his head, fear in his eyes. "Good. Josh is still in the front. Go to him." Devin nodded, running into the front of the shop. Josh smiled at him, holding a hand out to him.

"Hey sweetie." Josh chuckled.

"I'll have someone bring the clothes by tomorrow." Ashley spoke. Josh smiled at her.

"Thank you Ashley. I'll pay you. I promise."

"I know you will. You always have." Ashley waved him off. "Go and have fun. Devin, I hope you remember what we talked about."

"Okay Ashley." Devin squeaked. Josh looked confused at them, before shrugging it off. "It was nice meeting you."

"You like wise." Ashley nodded before heading back into the shop. Josh wrapped his around Devin's waist once against, and guided him out onto the street.

"What did you talk about?" Josh probed.

"Just some stuff." Devin shrugged.

"What stuff?" Josh chuckled. "I wanna know." Josh whined. Devin giggled, looking up at the Alpha.

"I can't tell you. It's a secret." Devin shushed him, leaning into his side. "I think I might stay for a while. If it's okay with you." Devin mumbled, a blush covering his cheeks.

"Of course it's okay." Josh smirked at him. "It'll be great."

"Can Angelo stay too?" Devin whispered.

"Yes. He's your friend." Josh chuckled. "I'm happy you decided to stay." Devin let out a small giggle, and turned to hug Josh around his waist. Josh stood frozen, staring down at the pup. He awkwardly hugged him back, biting his lip.

"You suck at hugs." Devin giggled. Josh sighed, playfully glaring at him.

"I've never hugged someone okay?" Josh scoffed. "Let's get back home. I think Angelo and Chris should be back." Devin nodded, grabbing Josh's hand, and allowing the Alpha lead him.

Devin and Josh walked inside the house, frowning at Angelo. He was sitting on the couch with a bruise on his face.

"Angelo, what happened?" Devin sighed walking to him.
