"I know, but they are assholes," Namjoon grunted pulling the wagon a bit faster making Jin glare at him as he tried to keep pace through the bumps and leaves.
                          
 "Are you still wearing Taehyung's shoes?" Namjoon chuckled.
                          
"Until Jiminie makes me my own," he decided looking back at the said boy who nodded. "Oh right, what do you need to make them?" 
                          
Jimin looked lost in thought for a moment "Well, I need leather, but furs like these would be alright, needle and thread, and something for a sole," he said.
                          
"Like wood?" Yoongi asked. 
                          
"yeah, but it has to be solid and able to carve easily," Jimin replied.

Jimin sat in the back of the wagon using an older fur to start the shoes. He had Hoseok's foot shape drawn out on the underside with a blade. The shoe sections cut and placed aside while Jin had ran to the nearest town to purchase thread. Jungkook was catching a fish to use its bones as needles.
                          
"ugh, why is your foot so big?" Jimin complained carving on a block of wood that Namjoon had stolen from a nearby cottage. 
                          
"Hey! Mine aren't even the biggest," he pouted throwing his head on Yoongi's lap. 
                          
They had stopped for a break and Namjoon was looking for more fruits. "Taehyung," the wolf called to him. He hopped off the wagon regretting it because his feet were not used to stepping on sharp rocks and shrubbery. 
                          
The wolf picked him up swiftly much like he had done with Jimin placing him on his shoulders his thighs on either side of his head.
                          
"I'm gonna have to carry you everywhere until you get your shoes back," he teased holding the tops of his thighs to keep him steady. 
                          
"Jungkook really likes them, so its okay," he said holding onto the thick locks of hair when he started walking off the trail.
                          
"He's a brat," Joon chuckled "watch your head," 
                          
Taehyung ducked lower hanging branches moving them aside to avoid getting scratches that would sting later and leave red marks on his skin.
                          
"I found an apple tree," Namjoon explained "I don't climb trees," he chuckled moving through the dark greenery that was surrounding them only letting short glimpses of sunlight through the trees above. He reached out a hand pulling on a bush and walking out into a secluded clearing with thick grass. In the middle an apple tree.
                          
"Can I walk?" he asked excitedly as he was placed down on the pillow like grass. Little purple flowers scattered. "It's so soft," he said wiggling his toes.
                          
"Come," Joon said extending his hand to the human who looked from the appendage to his eyes taking the hand and letting himself be lead to the giant tree. 
                          
"Those are pears," Taehyung said getting closer to the tree.
                          
"But they are red," Namjoon reasoned.
                          
"Red pears, goofy," Taehyung said looking up at the tree.
                          
"I want that one," Tae pointed to the fruit on a branch. Namjoon picked him up by his waist allowing him to pluck it from the tree. He bit into it happily. He was carried still helping gather a small pile of pears while he continued to eat the same fruit. 
                          
"Taehyung?" the said boy looked down from Namjoon's shoulders seeing the wolf looking back at him upside down. He hummed realizing that his sticky fingers were matted in his hair and he tossed the fruit away.
                          
"You do know that I want you to join us, not just Jimin, right?" he said gazing up at the human who seemed to be still looking at him, but not at his eyes. "We all do, Jimin has his own traits that we like, but we all adore you too. Especially Yoons," he chuckled.
                          
"I'm scared," he said moving his hands from the wolf's hair to the sides of his head while they looked at each other upside down.
                          
"Of what?" the wolf asked his grey ears alert to his answer.
                          
"Of making the wrong decision. I had a family back at the village and the only reason I chose to come with you guys was that I thought it would be safer for Jimin, but then you say you want us to be mates though people attack you. Imagine what my mom would say if she saw me with a mark calling all of you my mates, I would be burned at the stake," he shivered, "I don't want to be unnatural," his eyes drooped and the water line becoming full.
                          
"You're not unnatural," Namjoon said blinking up at him, "you were born exactly how you were supposed to be," he assured him gripping onto the tops of his thighs a little tighter.
                          
"promise?" he asked meeting the wolfs eyes seeing his own reflection looking back at him.
                          
"I promise," Namjoon said letting out a little puff of breath making the human's cheeks flare with color.
                          
Taehyung continued to stare into the alpha wolf eyes before studying his face landing on his lips. He had never kissed anyone except Jiminie, he wondered how it would be.
                          
He inhaled a deep breath going for it. Having their heads this way made it awkward, but the wolf kissed back. Taehyung had always been dominant in his and Jimin's relationship, but being kissed by a dominant shook his world. They tasted of the dried meat and the pear he had eaten and it couldn't have been a better first kiss.
                          
Taehyung had Joon's bottom lip trapped in his own before Namjoon slid him down one side of his shoulder to kiss him properly leaning the human against the side of the tree making him gasp holding on tightly to the giant letting him continue to deepen the kiss. 
                          
Namjoon had both hands holding him up by the back of his thighs while his mouth did the work pushing against Taehyung's. His own lips pulsating with the sensation of the first taste of each other.
                          
Finally, the wolf pulled back resting their heads together smiling "I never thought you would be the one to kiss me first," he joked to ease the human's uneasiness. "Let's say you and I go back to the others with these strange pears that are not green,"
                          
"Yeah," Tae agreed hugging the alpha's neck before he was placed on his shoulders again holding pears.

"We have pears!" Tae said smiling as they walked back to the trail still on Joon's back.  
                          
"Those look like apples," Hoseok said raising a brow.
                          
"They're pears, right Jiminie?" he asked holding it up. 
                          
"Someone's in a good mood," Jin commented having come back when they were gone. He held out his arms helping the human down giving him a sniff and giggled before kissing him right on the lips quickly.
                          
His face flushed and he held the fruit closer to him. "Awe he's blushing," he cooed. Namjoon laughed ruffling his hair. Taehyung was sat on the ground picking up the pears into a bag. When he was sat upon the furs Jimin had stopped working on Hoseok's shoes and was staring at him with wide eyes.
                          
He handed him a pear taking a seat beside him kissing his lips softly even though Jimin still didn't move. He took the pear taking a bite before he got back to work on the shoes.
                          
"No fair," Jungkook said having watched the whole thing "I want a kiss," he pouted. 
                          
Yoongi chuckled holding out his hands "Come here," the squirrel bounded over to get a sweet kiss on the lips from Yoongi.
                          
"I feel left out," the fox grumbled until the mouse kissed him too.
                          
"Now that everyone had a kiss, let's get on the road again or it'll take a year to get to our new home," Namjoon commanded picking up the handle of the wagon.
