Everything In Between

Move In Day

"Please tell me this is the last box" Park Seonghwa huffed as he set the large box onto the ever-growing stack in the newly acquired apartment. The omega glanced slowly around the room, taking in the new environment for everything it had to offer. It was cozy, that's for certain. His usual soft coconut scent spiked slightly in pleasure.

"Who knew we had so much shit" Kim Hongjoong huffed, carrying the final – although considerably smaller - box inside. His dark hair fell in a set of sweaty tuffs across his forehead. The soon to be college graduate had dressed in a pair of tight sweatpants and baggy pink t-shirt tied in a knot at the side - not at all the style society would assume an alpha would wear. Knowing that he would be getting some dirty work done he shied away from his typical reformed clothing.

"How we had space in that tiny ass dorm room of ours to accumulate this much is beyond me," Seonghwa sighed, eyeing the boxes with angry distaste. Although, for four years worth of time spent together this likely wasn't as overwhelming as it could've been. Plus he had forced Hongjoong to go through his hoard of clothing before they officially made the move.

"But now we are finally done!" Hongjoong cheered as he dramatically lifted his arms above his head. With a beaming smile he flung himself onto the nearby leather couch. Kicking his legs happily in the air like an excited child. "That was so much work" he sighed dramatically. Hongjoong's own alpha scent shifted slightly, adjusting to the new environment.

"Yah!" Seonghwa waved an accusing finger in Hongjoong's direction. "Don't you even try it, mister. Your boxes were literally half the size of mine! You have nothing to complain about."

"What!" Hongjoong called and quickly pushed himself up into a seated position. Glaring slightly he locked eyes with the other – whom according to Hongjoong was slightly overdressed for the occasion with a snug pair of jeans and grey knit sweater. "That's a blatant lie and you know it Park Seonghwa! My boxes were just as big – if not bigger – than yours."

Seonghwa snorted and rolled his eyes. "Look who's over exaggerating yet again." To an untrained eye the two men would appear to be taking a path down a destructive argument. However this was natural behaviour for them. Hongjoong would likely never admit it, but this was one of the many things he found intriguing about Park Seonghwa – the elder never took any of Hongjoong's shit. Especially for an omega. Hongjoong had experienced far too many omegas that would bend to his every word simply because he was an alpha. That was never the case with Seonghwa. He never allowed his omega status to define him and the way he communicated with others.

"Am not" Hongjoong huffed. Crossing his arms over his chest in a defiant manner. "My boxes were nearly double the size of yours" Hongjoong insisted – now that was likely an over exaggeration but Hongjoong never denied he wasn't dramatic.

"Double the size?" Seonghwa rolled his eyes in disbelief. "More like they were half the size." A smirk tugged at Seonghwa's lips as he decided to tease the younger. "But I suppose that makes sense. You carried half the size of my boxes because you're half the size of me."

Hongjoong quickly rolled forward and did a somersault across the couch. Positioning himself into a squatted form directly in front of Seonghwa. A glare was plastered to his lips, a clear sign of his assertiveness. "Did you just call me short?"

"And if I did?" Seonghwa questioned. It was his turn to cross his arms as he stood his ground against the other. "What could you possibly do about it? Grow? The puberty ship has sailed Hongjoong. You're not getting any taller."

"Maybe I cant get taller" Hongjoong grumbled. "But you sure can get shorter if I cut you off at your kneecaps."

"Oh you're feeling violent tonight," Seonghwa teased.
