[Hello Kitty Kris]

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Luhan wondered about many things.

He wondered about what the future held for him, what Sehun wanted out of their love, if the other members viewed him as a valuable pack member, if he had remembered to wash the dishes after breakfast (an angry Lay and a fresh lecture would be waiting for him at home if he didn’t) and if there was any special meaning behind his given power of telekinesis.  

Right now, he was wondering what on earth possessed Suho and Kris to hand him and Sehun a wad of money and send them off to the city by themselves. 

Though he expected the incident of Kai and Kyungsoo strutting out of the forest completely bare (well, Kai strutting, Kyungsoo whimpering and trying to decide whether or not his hands should cover his face or his manhood) following the month’s full moon had a lot to do with it.

“We lose too much clothing when we transform,” was Suho’s reasoning. “Just go out and buy some cheap stuff, we don’t want to risk fancy clothing getting torn to bits. Maybe some baggy clothes, they’re not that easy to rip.”

“And we’re going to have to actually learn to take off our clothes when we change,” Kris added, throwing a pointed glare at a passing Kai, who didn’t seem to see the value in stripping before he turned. Kai smiled sweetly at the Alpha and gave the shirt he was wearing an innocent little tug.

Sehun lifted his head in excitement, his eyes sparkling like tiny moons. “We get to go out? To the city? Just me and Luhan?”

“Only to buy clothes, and don’t spend all of it,” Suho responded sternly. “We have limited money, Sehun, and unless you want to be living off of deer and rabbit the next few weeks-”

“Got it!” Sehun happily tugged Luhan away. As the older male was pulled out the door, he gave a last, pleading gaze to the Alphas as if to say “How could you do this to me…”

“Don’t spend all of it!” Suho called as the door closed. He turned to Kris.

“Do you think he listened?”

“No.”

“Luhan will be able to keep him in check, right?”

“No.”

“… We’re going to have to look for jobs now, aren’t we...”

“Yup.”

Sehun was more focused than Luhan gave him credit for, as the first stop they made was the mall.

“How are we going to buy stuff for all the pack members,” Sehun grumbled. “There are twelve of us and we all have different tastes and I know for a fact if I don’t get Tao at least something from GUCCI he’ll Wushu my puppy all the way across the Pacific Ocean to America.”

“We were instructed to buy cheap clothes, Sehun, I think Tao will understand,” Luhan muttered, taking a glance at the mall directory. There were really… a lot of shops. “Well, maybe we should split up and get this done faster. We’ll meet back here in an hour, deal?”

Sehun nodded.

“Remember, just cheap clothing that no one’s gonna really miss if it gets destroyed.”

“Okay!” And the pup was off.

Luhan sighed and walked into the closest clothing store he could find, eyes searching for the sales section.

“Sehun…”

“What?”

“Sehun…”

“Ne?”

“OH SEHUN!”

“Waaaaah I’m sorry I’m sorry! You said to get cheap clothes!”

“Cheap men’s clothes, Sehun! You can’t put this on a man!”

“It’s a floral pattern, it’s not that girly! It was the cheapest item on sale!”

Luhan nearly sobbed. He held up the offending piece of clothing, internally cringing at what Kris would do to him if he tried to put the pink, flowery shirt on any pack member. Probably put him on hunting duty for a week and demote him to the lowest rank as the cherry on top.

“It’s not that bad…” The pup whined. “It’s got a low cut collar, if you match it with black jeans it might even look y-”

“Sehun, if you insist on buying this you are going to be the one to present it to Kris and I will be a safe distance of twenty miles away when you do.”

“When you put it that way…”

“Did you keep the receipts?”

“Um… yeah, here.”

“Okay, let’s go return these.” Luhan rummaged through the clothing, keeping the ones that wouldn’t elicit a violent response from Kris and throwing the others into the return pile.

___________________________

“Here, see? Some loose shirts, sweatpants and wifebeaters.”

Luhan looked proudly at the pile of clothes he had assembled. A pile that was nearly five feet high and was starting to make fellow shoppers do a double take as they walked by.

“How much did we spend on this?” Sehun peeked out from behind the pile. “I don’t think Suho’s money was enough to cover all these clothes.”

“The power of coupons,” Luhan smirked, tapping his wallet affectionately. He had managed to spend only half of what Suho gave him and Sehun, and was looking forward to seeing the surprised but pleased look on the Alpha’s face when they returned. Maybe he would even get a promotion, if he was lucky~

“You think Kai would wear this…?” Sehun held up a sweater and examined it.

“Well, no… Kai seems to have an aversion to clothes in general so most of the wifebeaters are for him. That would look good on Xiumin though; it’s fluffy, just like him.”

“There are a lot of clothes here…”

“Well, that’s what happens when you go shopping for twelve.”

The saleslady had widened her eyes in shock when Luhan and Sehun dumped the pile of clothes on the counter to pay. She ended up having to call over a fellow employee to help just to be able to bag all the clothes in time and keep the line of customers moving.

“Great, so now can we go have fun?”

“Fun?”

“Yup, we bought the clothes the Alphas wanted so let’s go have fun!”

“Wait, what-”

Luhan just managed to grab a hold of their purchases before Sehun dragged him off to who knows where.

___________________

It turned out that Luhan’s vision of a promotion from Suho was shattered by the cravings of a very hungry pup. Sehun had tugged and pulled and shoved his protesting and unwilling mate toward the nearest café that offered bubble tea.

“Only bubble tea,” Luhan had told him. Sehun had nodded enthusiastically, already pointing towards the menu so Luhan could decide which flavor he wanted.

And through a combination of cute puppy noises and rainbows and unicorns and fluff and a huge wave of aegyo Sehun-style, they had bought more than just bubble tea.

“You’re really gonna eat all this?”

“Mhm.”

“Are you sure you can eat all this? We have to leave in ten minutes so Kris doesn’t whoop our asses for missing dinner.”

“Is that a challenge?” Sehun’s eye glinted. The wolf liked challenges.

Luhan gulped, already imagining being kicked out of the café with their food tossed out behind them. “Um… no, not really, but-”

Five minutes later the pup had let out a content sigh, having finished off the ten orders of muffins and his bubble tea to boot while Luhan still had half his drink to go.

“Disgusting.”

“Pfft, what are you saying? My table manners are exemplary; look, not a crumb on the table.”

It was true. The table was as clean as it was before the two had came and the only proof that Sehun had eaten at all was the ten muffin liners stacked neatly on top of each other.

And Luhan was impressed to admit, the pup’s stomach was still entirely flat.

“Well, I hope you’re satisfied, because that just blew off whatever money we had left,” Luhan said sadly. He turned his wallet upside down and shook it, and not even a single coin fell out. “Suho’s gonna demote me… assuming I survive what Kris will do…”

“Luhan, I love you,” Sehun sighed happily, leaning into Luhan and obviously not hearing a single word Luhan just said.

And somehow all of Luhan’s worries disappeared.

“We’re home!” Sehun shouted.

“Did you guys have fun?” Suho called from the kitchen. He stumbled out, hand holding a spatula in one hand and a bottle of salt in the other and covered in flour from head to toe. He had obviously been trying to help Lay or Kyungsoo, one of the two, with dinner. Emphasis on trying.

“Yeah!” Sehun ran up to Suho and hugged him. Luhan mentally groaned. Kris would no doubt make him clean the flour off the pup later.

“So how’s the financial situation?” Suho whispered to Luhan, peeking inside the bag. Luhan rolled his eyes. Suho was such a mother sometimes.

Suho raised his eyebrows. “Holy…”

“I tried.” Luhan sighed.

“Nah, it’s fine. I guess I just didn’t realize how much clothes our pack needs. So um… any money left?”

“All gone,” Luhan whimpered, lowering his head in shame. “All of it went to clothes and Sehun.”

Suho raised any eyebrow. “To Sehun?” He looked at the pup clinging to him. Luhan’s eye twitched when he saw that Sehun had fallen asleep.

“He got hungry.”

Suho blinked, and Luhan could tell he understood.

Kris staggered down the stairs, hair disheveled and glasses askew and looking tired. “Suho, I can’t find any jobs except- oh, what’d you get?”

He took the bag from Luhan, threw it in the air and watched the clothes fall out. Luhan and Suho looked on as Kris promptly plopped himself on the floor and began pawing through the clothes with the most judgmental look on his face.

Luhan waited.

Kris sighed and lay on the floor, his share of clothes already picked out and set aside for him and Tao. “How much cash do you have left…”

“None,” Suho supplied.

Kris muffled his face into a panda shirt that was supposed to be for Tao with what Luhan assumed was supposed to be a wail. “Okay. Well… Sehun and Luhan can hunt for the pack until I-I earn enough money to-”

“You have a job?” Suho asked, surprised. “I haven’t even started looking.”’

Kris gulped. “Well, not really, but the only place I found so far that is looking for workers is…is…”

“Is?”

“The… the…”

“The?” Luhan pressed.

“The Hello Kitty Café!” Kris howled, hiding his face in the mountain of shirts again.

.

Luhan tried to hold himself together (because Kris’ punishment was already light enough as it was and laughing would simply put him in a worse situation than Sehun), while Suho patted Kris’ shoulder comfortingly.

“I’d rather live off of deer for the rest of my life,” the EXO-M Alpha mumbled.  

“It’s okay, Kris. Lots of girls go to the Hello Kitty Café. And you’re handsome. Good for business,” Luhan said. “Though Tao may have a few objections to that…”

“And I think you would look cute with the little pink aprons and those little bowties and such,” Suho smirked.

“Can someone find a dictionary and look up the word ‘masculinity’ for Suho? Or just throw said dictionary at him,” Kris growled.

Suho retreated to the kitchen.

Tao came in with a look of delight on his face that appeared whenever he saw clothes. Kris nudged the pup and pointed to the set of clothes he had already picked out.

Tao gave the pile a look of distaste and began swapping shirts and pants from the piles.

Luhan and Sehun grabbed their share of clothes (before the EXO-M pup could claim them) and ran off to their room. Kris would be alright, Tao had a way of appeasing the Alpha when no one else could.

“Eh, these are tacky,” Sehun commented.

“Purely for transformational purposes. Plus I think you’d look y in a wifebeater,” Luhan held up a wifebeater against Sehun’s torso.

“Pfft, I make anything look good. Even Kris can’t match my iness.”

“I don’t know… that might be taking it a bit far…”

Sehun gave Luhan a smirk. “You’d say that even after you’ve seen me undressed?”

“We’re werewolves; we’ve all seen each other before.”

“That’s my point.”

“You’re very sassy today, aren’t you?”

“Yes.”

“Think you can keep up that same confidence in bed tonight?”

“Whoa, whoa, where did that come from?”

“My mouth.”

Sehun scoffed.

“Yup, you’d look good in this. Put it on,” Luhan gave an evil grin, implying that he had something very different in mind than watching Sehun try on clothes.

The pup rolled his eyes and removed his shirt, revealing his toned abs underneath.

The shirt lay forgotten on the floor as Luhan tackled him to the bed.
