The amount of papers you had to sign to take home seven hybrids was insane. There had to be at least twenty forms per hybrid, and a whole different set that you had to sign for being part of a 'pack'. It took you a little more than two hours to fill out the papers, some of the boys even falling asleep while waiting.

Jimin, the dog hybrid, his head was in your lap and his face was snuggled into your tummy as you sat at the table. Taehyung nudged his floppy golden ears into your free hand as you were reading, whining when you took your hand away to sign a paper. You were still semi-awkward around the men, not having known them for more than four hours before they were literally all over you.

Once you had finally finished signing all of that paperwork, you handed it to the woman and waited while she wrote your name down on a folder, sliding the mountain of papers in the folder and filing it away in a desk drawer.

"Now that you've got them legally adopted," Cheers arose from her statement and you blushed.

"Now that you've got them legally adopted, you gotta get them collars and leashes for when you take them outside, and if you want you can purchase heat suppressants."

"...Heat.. suppressants?"

"Heat is when a hybrid becomes.. sexually frust-"

"Okay, I think I understand." The blush on your cheeks was furious, bright red blooming over your face. Namjoon cooed, leaning in and nuzzling your burning cheek with his nose.

"Heats only begin occurring when hybrids have met their mates and have daily contact. So now that you all are a fully formed pack, they'll begin to have heats. Each hybrid will start at the same time, but some hybrid breeds have longer heats than others. Jimin, being a corgi hybrid, and Jin, being a panda, don't have very long heats. Just a few days. But Jungkook and Namjoon, bunny and wolf, have around a week long heat. But suppressants are very damaging to a hybrid each time you use them, and heats are once a month for a few days, depending on the hybrid. So if you end up purchasing suppressants, use them sparingly and try to deal with it... naturally as much as possible."

You stuttered out a, 'yeah, okay', refusing to meet anyone's eyes as you stared at the ground.

"So what happens if I do use suppressants? Even just once? Very damaging doesn't sound like a good solution to a problem."

"They'll fall ill. You'll have to take care of them, fevers, vomiting, chills, sweating, the whole nine yards."

"And the, um, natural solution doesn't result in any sickness like suppressants does?"

"No, naturally is the healthiest way to relieve them of their heats. Suppressants just make it worse."

"Okay, well, I guess just in case I'll buy them, but I'll figure out a different way to get them through it, I don't want them getting sick."

The employee smiled, clearly glad that you weren't on board with the harmful effects of suppressants. Someone, you thought it was Yoongi, bumped his head between your shoulder blades, rubbing his head along your back and purring loudly.

"Okay, so I'll get you a small bottle of suppressants, ten pills. And as for collars, they're over there, you can take them over and choose whichever one. They don't have to wear them at home, but anytime they're outside they need a collar. Depending on where you go, they might require a leash. Parks and some restaurants require you to leash hybrids. But once inside you can let them off the leash."

You nodded, cringing. If you were uncomfortable petting one of your hybrids, how were you ever going to walk them on a leash?

You walked over to the rack of collars on the other side of the store, gesturing to the wall.

'I guess just pick out whichever one you like? I'm really sorry you have to wear them, if I could ignore the rules I would."

They all nodded, shooting you understanding smiles.

"It's okay Y/N, we know. We're just glad to be going home with you."

You smiled at Hoseok, taking collars from Yoongi, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook who had already decided. Each had gone for comfort, Jimin picking out a simple black silk strip, adhered with a clip in the back. Yoongi had gone for a black leather collar, and even though it was leather, it was still light. A small silver buckle held the fabric closed. Jungkook had chosen a dark blue band, soft somewhat velvety fabric with a clip for a leash. It appeared to be stretchy, so that you could just stretch it and slide if over his head. Taehyung, the ever happy golden retriever had picked out a simple red collar, black plastic buckle attached to a leash clip.

Jin came over to you, smiling and resting his head on your shoulder as his hands snuck around your waist. He handed you a silky pink collar, shiny silver clip to unbuckle it. Hoseok had finally decided on a light green one, regular collar material buckled closed with a black buckle. Namjoon was standing in the 'wolf' section, chewing on the inside of his cheek. You made your way over, a small gasp coming out of your lips when you saw the collars available for wolf hybrids. Each one was barbaric in it's own way, either fully made up of chains or chunky black leather with spikes protruding outwards. Those were the only collars, soon giving way to muzzles and harnesses. You took his hand, turning him away from his designated section and facing him instead.

"You don't have to choose one of those, I hope you know that. You can come and pick from the other section, I trust you and I don't think I need to chain you up or muzzle you."

He nodded, bringing you in for a tight hug before walking over to the other section with tears still brimming in his eyes. It meant a lot to him that you said that you trusted him, aside from his six friends, he didn't know anyone else that did.

He chose the lightest one possible, the same one that Jimin got just in a light shade of purple. He walked with the rest of you up to the counter and placed his light silky collar on the counter somewhat proudly. Proud that he had a mate that trusted him.

"Namjoon honey, I'm sorry, I really am. But you have to at least purchase a collar designed for wolf hybrids. If I'm being honest," She leaned in, whispering now, "I think they're ridiculous. But people are afraid and you have to at least show that you made a purchase of the 'necessary items' for owning a wolf hybrid. You don't ever have to make him wear it, just have it in your records that you bought it." 

You sighed, jogging back over to the wolf section and grabbing the chain collar. You tossed in on the counter, paying for everything and thanking the employee.

"Alright boys, are you ready to go home?"

Each one cheered, Hoseok jumping up and down in pure excitement. You laughed, nodding and making your way out of the store with your seven little ducklings following. You stopped by a trash can outside of the building, digging the chain collar out of the bag and handing it to Namjoon.

"Toss it, I don't want to ever see you wearing something like that."

He looked down at you, mouth hanging open slightly as he processed your request.

"Toss it? But you spent money on it, I don't wanna throw your money away. It's okay, really."

"If you won't do it, I will. I think it's ridiculously inhuman and I'm disgusted that you're expected to wear it."

He gave in, tossing the chain into the garbage and smiling wide when he heard the clank of the metal on metal when it hit the ground.

"Y/N?" His voice was soft as he walked behind you to the car.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for trusting me."
