Alec parks soon enough at the mall. Ben looks out at the building and gets out of the car. When Alec gets out Ben goes over and holds his hand gently. Alec kisses him softly, Ben slightly kissed back still not used to it yet. He pulled away and leads the way inside. Ben smiled following him closely and he looks around "I haven't been to the mall before".

"Really?" Alec asked confused. "Yeah, my uncle didn't leave the house unless it was to his liquor store or to get groceries. If I needed clothes he took me to the thrift store a few blocks down from his house." "Well, we can get you nice things." "Really? Oh uh, you don't have to tho I'm fine with the things I have in my bag". Ben says looking up at him. "I want to." "O-okay if you're sure Alec". He says looking down at his feet feeling a little guilty. "I promise I want to." "Okay, I just don't want to waste money on me". "It is not a waste." "I think it is I just popped into your life," he says frowning slightly. "If you hadn't, I would've been lost. You are my mate." "I know," he says sighing softly as he leans into him. "And that's why I love you. You made my world complete." Ben blushed and smiled hiding his face in his arm. Alec awed at him making Ben blushed more as he looked up at him. "How about we buy you some comfy clothes and some fancy ones?" Alec asked looking down at him. "Why would I need fancy clothes?" He asked confused. "For events." "What events would we be going to?" Ben asked confused. "Parties. Marriages." "I never been to either of them in my life...seems.... nerve-racking to go to one". "It is not." "Are you sure about that Alec?" He asked looking up at him with a worried face. "Yes. It's easy. Just be kind."

"But it's tons of people packed into one room and what if there people you don't like or they're rude to you. Then you have to pretend that your being nice even though your annoyed or pissed that they are even around you, but you can't escape cause everyone gets in your space and you can't move". He says his own thoughts giving him a panic attack. "Woah. Baby calm down. No one will be rude. Our pack is respectful. Dont worry." He breathes heavily but nods looking up at him and he swallows hard. Tears welling up in his eyes as a fictional situation flashes in his mind. Alec hugs him close. "Take a deep breath." Ben gets a couple of gasps of air before taking a deep breath and breathing out. "Calm down. Im here for you." Ben nods and tries to take a deep breath again, gasping for a couple more gulps of air before breathing out again. Alec kisses his head. "We can always come back later."

"No just give me a minute, I'll be fine after Alec". He says as he takes a couple deep breathes and wiping the tears that had fell. "Are you sure?" Alec cups his face. He nods as he sniffled and took another deep breath slowly calming down.  Alex kisses his cheeks. "Smile for me?" Ben closed his eyes taking one more deep breath. He opened his eyes slowly and softly smiled for him. Alec smiles wide. "Thank you." He kisses him softly. Ben kissed back smiling more and slowly pulled away. "Your welcome". "Lets head inside." "Okay," he nods before following him inside. Alec holds his hand. Ben holds it and when they go inside Ben looks at the different stores. He went inside one when he saw men's pyjamas. "Those look nice.'' Alec says. Ben nodded and grabbed shorts and pyjama pants. He grabs a few long sleeved pyjama tops and some big t-shirts. Alec watches him as Ben soon comes over with a neat stack of clothes he wanted. "Ready?" Ben nodded "Yeah I'm ready." Alec takes them and pays. Ben took the bag and when Alec was done he grabbed his hand to hold it. Alec leads him to another store. Ben looks around at what was in the store. Suits lined the walls. His face dropped slightly seeing them imaging himself trying to get ready for a wedding one day. "A-Alec c-could we possibly n-not get a suit". "I just have to pick mine up babe." "O-oh Okay then can I wait outside then". He asked him looking up at him. "Whats the matter?" "I just think to much with objects to remind me". He says quietly. "Sure. Why dont you go to the food court?" "Okay thank you Alec". He says quietly and he pecks his cheek. Alec smiles. "Ill be out soon". "Okay have fun". Ben says even though he didn't know if it was the right response. He turned around and walked to where the signs said food court. Alec picks up his suit and pays. He stops by a small shop and buys a small plush wolf for Ben.

Ben sat at a table waiting for him staring at one of the food places that had a window to see them preparing hot sandwiches making him a little hungry. Alec sits next to him. "I heard a beautiful guy needed some love?" "Strange all I hear is people having conversations about work". He says looking over at him smiling. "And I didn't say anything either" . He said before chuckling. "I was being cute silly. I got you this." He hands him the wolf. "Aww, he's cute thank you. Also, can you apply logic to your cuteness it doesn't really work as well". He says laughing as he he takes the wolf.  Alec pouts. "Lets get some food." "Can we go to that place over there Charles? I've been watching them cook meat and stuff while you were gone." "Ok." Alec gets up. Ben gets up with him and they get in line Ben almost instantly knowing what he wanted. Alec looks and holds Bens hand. Ben holds back and looks over at Alec and waits for him to order first.

Ben takes his food and gives the tray to Alec before starting to eat. Alec eats before asking "How do you like my family?" "They are nice why do you ask?" Ben asks him tilting his head. "Well if you agree to it we will eventually be mated." "Oh yeah," he blushed. "Uh, why is your family involved with this topic"? "Because they will be your family too."

"Oh yeah....forgot". He looks down seeming to think of something but then just goes back to eating. "Whats wrong? I mean you can still say no." Alec says looking at him concerned. "No it's just then my family becomes yours as well," he says to him. "Yea." Alec nods still not knowing where this is heading. "My family is mean...." Ben says quietly. "Its ok we never have to be near them." "Okay....thank you," he says looking up at him. Alec smiles kissing him and Ben kisses back.
