His Weird Hobby

In the storage room, Rei groaned to himself as he glared at the number of boxes on the floor. He was so confused about where his Aunt hides those plates and utensils. Yuu didn't even tell him where it was. Their storage room is a simple two meters by three meters room with a big shelf. Yes, it's not big but the number of boxes in the room was enormous that the whole floor is covered.

"Why does Auntie store this many boxes anyway?" he mumbled, picking up the boxes and returning them to the shelves. "They should buy an organizer for these things."

The time he was finished organizing the boxes, he loudly sighed before turning his attention back to the shelves. He was glaring at the remaining box placed on the top and last layer of the shelf because of how far it looks based on his height. Guessing from what he can see below, there are two boxes. One that looks like a large box while the other one looks small. He can reach it if he tiptoed but he wants to check the box where it was less likely to be the storage for the plates. He didn't want to mess up and break the plates after all.

"Please tell me it's there..." Rei groaned, closing his eyes and leaning his head back as he prayed.

He walked closer to the shelves, grabbing onto the corner for support before tiptoeing. His eyes brightens when his fingers touched the box before placing his hand under it, adjusting the weight towards his direction. Slowly. Focusing on the weight and hoping that it won't fall... But there is a knock on the door before the handle starts turning.

"Hey. Do you need---"

Rei accidentally brings down his arm, causing the box to fall directly onto his head and a screech from Rei's mouth. "Fuuuck!"

He then holds his head with both of his hands before sitting on his feet, groaning and cursing. All of the things inside the box such as photo albums were then scattered on the floor. He glared at the poor box before shifting his gaze on Kyou, who was literally looking down at him as he smirks.

"What are you here for, bastard?" Rei hissed, rubbing his head.

"What?" Kyou 'innocently' smiling at Rei, leaning to the door jamb with his head tilted to the side. "I was just wondering if you need help."

Rei rolled his eyes at Kyou before mumbling. "Help, my ass."

He then leaned closer and start picking up the things inside the box, ignoring the black-haired Alpha who is just watching him do the work. Well... Is that what he called 'helping' then? Rei starts on thinking about how to curse him inside his head. Meanwhile, Kyou, who's still watching him, flinched when five heads popped behind him.

"Are you okay, Rei? He heard a loud scream earlier." Yasuko asked voice laced with concern. "Do you need help?"

Rei shook his head before faking a smile, grabbing on one of the photobooks to tidy up. "I'm okay. It's---!!"

Yasuko, Kyou, and the rest raised a brow at him when he stopped talking. They noticed a polaroid photo slipped out of the photobook he just picked up and dropped near Kyou's foot. Rei's eyes widened and immediately leaned forward to snatch it away but unluckily for him, the 'bastard' got it first.

"Well, well. What is this?" Kyou asked as he leaned down to get the polaroid, eyes widening in shock when he saw the photo. "What...?"

Rei hastily stood up, marching towards Kyou and reaching for the polaroid in his head but stopped when someone snatched it first. He turned his head around to look at the person who snatched the photo, visibly panicking and feeling sweat starting to form on his forehead because of how hot he felt from embarrassment. Damn. He forgot about that cursed picture already. Why did it have to be that one to fall from the photo album?! Out of all the pictures!

Shiori, the one who snatched the picture away from Kyou, raised a brow at the distressed red-haired Omega. "What?"

"Just give it back," Rei whined, almost crying as he dropped his head to hide his face.

"What is this anyway?" Shiori immediately gasped as she saw the picture, squealing. "Oh my god!"

It was a picture of Rei wearing an off-shoulder light blue dress with thin straps on his shoulders. The dress stops between his thighs and looks flowy in the photo. He is wearing a long red wig with a white flower clip on the side. The redness of the wig is the same as his natural color. He looks elegant and soft, almost like a girl, by how he blushes and shyly smiles at the camera.

"Rei!" Shiori squealed, hugging the polaroid and making Kyou flinch beside her. "Why do you look so pretty?!"

Yuu pops behind Shiori, taking a look on the phone before smiling. "Oh. That's been a long time. I remembered when you---!!"

"Okay! That's enough talking Yuu. Nobody asked anyway." Rei loudly sighed, going beside Yuu before covering his mouth with his hands to shut him up.

Kyou snorted, smirking and trying to hold a laugh behind his fist. "Is this your weird hobby or something?"

"Hell no!" Rei huffed, leaned forward to Shiori, and snatched the photo which made the blonde pout. "I wore it for a play in school."

"You should do it again," Shiori mumbled to herself, pouting. "I want to see you in a dress."

Rei raised a brow, grinning. "As if, Shio."

By the time he turned his attention back inside the storage room, he saw the rest of the gang sitting on the ground and rummaging through the things inside the box he just dropped. The rest of their friends fawned over the photo album which revealed some pictures of Rei during his childhood. There is a picture of him as a baby in a cat costume. A toddler Rei who is sleeping and also a picture of him and Yuu playing.

"Stop rummaging on that, I'm fixing it!" Rei snapped, his arms crossed as he glared at their friends.

"Just let them." Yuu patted his cousin's shoulder, shaking his head. "Why don't we bring it in the living room and look at it while eating?"

They all nodded, enthusiastically. "Yes!"
