Chapter 11: Epilogue

Chapter Eleven Soundtrack: I Like Me Better - Lauv

Word Count: 434

Pairing/Ship: Changlix - Lee Felix and Seo Changbin

Genre: Fluff, Angst, AU

Warnings: Some Harsh Language

Felix straightened the tie around his boyfriend’s neck. It had been three years since him and Changbin started dating and they were now both graduated from high school and working. Changbin had been working at an auto shop to provide from him and Felix since he graduated and bought an apartment for him and Felix to live in together. Felix was working as a receptionist at an entertainment company called Prince Entertainment Records.

“Binnie, why didn’t you just tell me you wanted to audition at Prince when I first got the job there? Hell, why didn’t you tell me you rapped?” Felix tightened the tie. Changbin shrugged.

“I don’t know it just didn’t come up.” Changbin looked down at the outfit he was sporting. A tie, dress shirt, hoodie, leather jacket, and black skinny jeans adorned his thin, but toned figure.

“Didn’t come up!” Felix threw his arms up in frustration, “It didn’t even occur to you that you could’ve mentioned it when I dedicated and sang a whole damn song to you at my graduation?!” Changbin could tell Felix was unimpressed. He slid his hand around his boyfriend’s small waist.

“Would it make you feel better if I dedicated a whole album to you if I pass the auditions and get into Prince?” Changbin offered. He had planned to dedicate an album to Felix anyway, but at this point, he figured there was no point in keeping secret anymore. Since Felix had found out about Changbin auditioning, he was all over Changbin about his music and why he hadn’t told him about it earlier.

“Lix, baby. I’m sorry I kept my music from you. I wanted to surprise by dedicating my first album to you on my debut if I made it. And if I didn’t I didn’t want to disappoint you.” Changbin sighed back hugging Felix. He pulled Felix closer to his body and Felix’s hands met Changbin’s at his waist. Felix sighed, turning himself around to face Changbin, while still in his embrace. He put his arms around Changbin’s neck, pulling their faces closer together.

“Binnie, baby. You could never disappoint me.” Felix kissed his boyfriend, then rubbed their noses together.

“Gosh, fuck, I love you so much, Lix.” Changbin kissed Felix again and the younger boy chuckled.

“Gosh, fuck, I love you so much too, Binnie,” Felix replied, mocking Changbin, but meaning it honestly.

“Now, show the world how fucking amazing you are! Go get ‘em, babe!” Felix said sending Changbin off with a slap to the ass. And Changbin walked out the door to take over the rapping industry.

Old Guard hc #57

Prompt number: 18 - “You don’t see it?”

Fandom: The Old Guard

Rating: PG-13

Warnings/Tags: Joe and Nile, Joe grabs Nile’s wrist (below cut)

AN: Kind of a Dead Like Me AU. Gets real choppy below the cut, so here’s your warning.

“You don’t see it?” Nile asks, following the little demonic creature with her eyes. She’s been seeing those damn things ever since she woke up in the infirmary at the base. They’re nasty little things, two feet tall, spikes on their head and back, a Voldermort’s nose, and an overall sickly appearance. Just looking at them makes her skin crawl.

“See what?” Joe asks, following her line of sight. “The man in the green pants? I mean, it’s kind of hard not to see him. I’m pretty sure the grinch uses less green than that man.”

“What? Oh, wow, that’s a lot of green.” She knows several people who would kill to have their lawn be as green as that man currently is. She doesn’t think she’ll ever understand America’s obsession with perfect lawns. She shakes her head and drags her eyes back to the creature. It’s climbing up a tree at the moment. “No, I keep seeing these small demons. They knock shit on the ground, shove things in the way, they’re like a bad cartoon if I’m honest.” Tom and Jerry was more original than these guys.

The demon is bouncing on a branch now, each bounce making the branch sway a fraction more than the last. Nile doesn’t know when she started holding her breath, but now that she’s aware of it, she couldn’t suck in a breath if she tried. She’s unable to tear her eyes away from the demon that’s getting more fervent with his movements.

It’s a relief when the branch finally snaps, barely missing two bikers on the trail as it crashes to the ground. She watches the bikers turn around, realization slowly dawning on them of just how lucky they are.

It happens so fast.

The warning builds in her throat like molasses. By the time it passes her lips, both bikers are on the ground in one bloody mess.

Nile’s up on her feet, phone in hand, ready to call an ambulance when a hand wraps around her wrist. She turns to look at Joe, “We have to help them!”

Joe swallows and he looks pained for some reason. “Nile, it’s their time.”

“What?” She tries to break out of his grip but Joe tightens his fingers and starts to tug her away. “What are you doing? Let go!” What the hell is wrong with him? “Joe! They’re hurt!”

“I know,” Joe says, continuing to guide her away, “there’s nothing you can do.” Nile digs her heels into the ground and yanks on her arm, forcing Joe to stop and look at her. She’s going to have strong words with him later about what’s appropriate and not.

“You better fucking explain and let go in the next five seconds because I’m getting really pissed off.”

Joe blinks at her, looks down at where he’s still holding her wrist and releases her as if she electrocuted him. “Shit, I’m sorry,” Joe quickly apologizes, stuffing his hands into his pockets. Nile experimentally rolls her wrist, sees the way Joe is watching the movement with a guilty frown and she thinks, good. Her wrist is already fine though, any potential bruising or swelling gone. “We should go,” Joe says after a pause, glancing around the park. There’s a crowd forming around the two bikers, people frantically shouting at each other to get help and call an ambulance.

“Why?” Nile almost shouts, managing to lower her voice to a hiss at the last second. Why are you acting this way? Why do we need to leave? What aren’t you telling me?

“You’re seeing death and death doesn’t like us.” Nile squints at Joe. Did he eat crack for breakfast?

There’s a crazed energy building within him and Nile doesn’t want to see what a 900-year-old man looks like when he snaps. Joe crosses his arms, “Quynh had your gift. Those things you’re seeing? They’re sadistic little bastards and they love us. So we need to leave before it clocks us and we wake up in a morgue,” Joe says, his voice tightening near the end.

None of what he just said makes sense. She’s got more questions than before he started explaining, but Joe looks genuinely freaked out that she lets her sympathy momentarily win and nods, letting him set the pace as they exit the park.

They don’t talk the entire walk home, hell they don’t even so much as glance at one another and she hopes he doesn’t think he’s off the hook. They still need to have words about grabbing her and whatever the hell she’s seeing.

When they get to the empty house, Joe motions for her to follow him into the kitchen. He pours them both a drink and Nile takes her glass with a ‘thanks’ before sitting down at the table.

Joe sits down in the seat in front of her and hangs his head in shame. “I’m sorry for grabbing you without your permission. That was very wrong of me,” Joe quietly says, looking up at her at the end. He looks genuinely sorry, and not like he’s only saying what Nile wants to hear. “I got scared, I know that doesn’t excuse what I did, and I wish I can take it back, but I can’t. I acted poorly, I hurt you and I’m sorry about that.”

Nile lets his words sink in.

She fights back the instinct to immediately accept the apology. This isn’t something they can skirt around, not if they want to remain as teammates, much less as friends. “I’m more upset that you made a choice for me.”

She can practically see the entire replay in his mind and she knows when he sees her point when he winces. “I’m new, Joe. I haven’t known you for two-hundred years, I can’t tell yet when to follow you with no questions. You have to explain stuff or at least say ‘Nile, danger. Explain later.’ I trust you to have my best intentions but you can’t—you gotta let me make that choice.”

Joe nods, hunching further into himself. “I understand. I’m really sorry, Nile.”

Nile reaches out to place a hand on his shoulder, “We’re going to be fine, Joe. I just need time to get on the same page.” She gently squeezes his shoulder, “I’m going to have this conversation with Nicky and Andy too. This was inevitable, looking back.”

Joe huffs, a small smile creeping onto his lips. “I’m really happy you’re not afraid to set us straight. Booker,” Joe pauses, a flash of anger crosses his eyes, but as sudden as it appeared, it’s gone, leaving a trail of sorrow in its path. “It’s hard to have boundaries when you don’t care.”

Nile doesn’t know what to say, and maybe there’s nothing to say. Booker is such a sensitive topic that it feels taboo to even think of his name sometimes. She gives his shoulder another squeeze and drops her hand onto the table.

Joe clears his throat, “Right, and onto the next topic. Quynh,” Joe closes his eyes, lets out a raspy laugh, and opens his eyes again, reaching for the drink. “We’re just going through all the difficult topics today, aren’t we?”

“I can wait,” Nile starts, she can tell how drained he already is and what’s a couple more days when they have billions more?

Joe shakes his head. “This is important, will put you in danger for not knowing, important information.”

She remembers Joe’s earlier words. Sadistic bastards. They love us.

Joe sips at his drink and Nile mirrors the action. “Quynh called the things you see death’s helpers. They don’t directly kill people, they just set death into motion,” he pauses until Nile’s looking at him again, “Nile, whenever you see one, get out, especially if you’re in a public place. They know when they’re spotted and they know we’re special.”

Nile frowns, she has so many questions, she doesn’t even know where to begin. Why does she see them and they don’t? Is she in more danger because she can see them? Will those things attack her just because she can see them?

Joe scans her face, “I can see you have a lot of questions and I do want to help, but I think you should ask Andy.” Ask Andy about her lost lover? The one she still feels extremely guilty about? Maybe Joe did eat crack for breakfast. “I know but she’s known Quynh the longest, she has the most information on this. I only know the bare minimum, Quynh didn’t like talking about it and I didn’t like asking about it.”

Nile already knows this future conversation is going to be a painful one. Andy clams-up tight when she wants to and no amount of prying or crying can get her to open up.

“It’s alright, you at least answered the big question,” Nile says, and she wonders if this is going to be a theme. The what always being answered but the why remaining a mystery. “Thank you for filling me in.”

“Yeah, and I’m sorry once again-“

“Joe,” Nile interrupts with a shake of her head. “We’re moving past that.”

“Right, of course.” Nile rolls her eyes, reaches out to ruffle his hair just like how her brother hated. Joe hates it too and she grins as he smacks her hand away, smoothing the curls back down. “Brat,” he mutters, it’s all reluctant fondness and the tension in his shoulders is gone, so Nile’s counting it as a win.

They’re going to get there one day.

Chapter 10: Together At Last

Chapter Ten Soundtrack: Can’t Help Myself - Eric Nam

Word Count: 400 Pairing/Ship: Changlix - Lee Felix and Seo Changbin Genre: Fluff, Angst, AU Warnings: BoyxBoy Kissing

“Lix, baby.” Changbin ran into Felix’s room, where Lucian, Heather, and Chan were surrounding a still crying Felix. He was shaking and sniffling and his bed covers were up to his chin. Changbin could feel tears threatening to fall at any time. Changbin shook his head and crawled onto the bed towards where Felix was hiding himself.

“Baby, I’m here. It’s okay. No one will ever hurt you again.” Changbin reassured the sobbing, younger boy. Changbin positioned himself under the cover beside Felix at a good hugging angle and grabbed the frail boy in his arms.

“Changbin,” Felix let tears stream down his face, you could hear in his voice that he’d been crying for hours, “I di-didn’t ch-cheat.”

“I know, baby. I know.” Changbin placed a gentle kiss on Felix’ forehead as he pulled the smaller boy closer to his body. He wrapped his arms farther around Felix and swayed slowly, rocking Felix in hope to calm him. By now, the room had emptied and Changbin had Felix all to himself, though if he knew his friends, they were eavesdropping just outside Felix’s door.

“Lix,” Changbin spoke softly, gaining Felix’s gaze, “Will you be my boyfriend?” Felix smiled through his tears.

“Of course.” Felix’s voice was raspy from crying for hours. Changbin smiled and pulled Felix down on top of him as he laid down on Felix’s bed. Felix shuffled himself up so his face was hovering over Changbin’s. One of Felix’s hand made it’s way up to Changbin’s cheek and the other was guiding Changbin’s arms around his waist. Felix placed his soft lips on the older boy’s, entrancing him in a kiss. The two boys’ lips moved in sync, following the other movements. Changbin bit at Felix bottom lips and Felix opened his mouth, giving way to Changbin’s tongue. Their tongue’s moved together for a while until Felix broke the kiss to gasp for air.

“I’ve never kiss anyone like that, hyung.” Felix breathily admitted to Changbin, who gave the boy on top of him a big, genuine smile.

“You can just call me Bin.” Changbin offered Felix.

“What about Binnie?” Felix asked, pushing it slightly, but of course, Changbin gave in as soon as Felix brought out the puppy dog eyes.

“I love you, Lix.” Changbin placed a soft kiss on the younger’s lips once again.

“I love you too, Binnie.” Felix did the same.

Chapter 7: Hurting

Word Count: 396

Pairing/Ship: Changlix - Lee Felix and Seo Changbin

Genre: Fluff, Angst, AU

Warnings: None

The floor of the stairwell was now tear-stained by Felix who was still on his knees. Tears flowed out of him like water out of the ocean and through winding rivers. Felix was a teary disaster. He tried to pull himself up with the door handle, only to fall back down, crying even harder. His body hurt from the biting and trembled from every pinch and touch. He’d been violated and not only that, but publicly. And to top it all off, Changbin saw the whole thing. Why? Why him? Why now? Felix tried to pull himself up again, this time succeeding. He managed to get himself through the doors of the library before falling to his knees in tears again.

“Felix! What happened? What’s wrong?” Chan ran over to him whimpering boy, concern in his tone and covering his face. Chan knelt down beside the younger, caressing him kindly.

“L- Lawrence… to- touched… m- e… he… saw… th- the who- le thi- thing…” Felix managed to get out between sobs.

“Who saw, Felix?” Chan asked.

“Changbin!” Felix cried out. He started crying even louder.

“Oh no.” Chan let out in a breath. He grabbed Felix by the shoulders and lifted him gently. Chan hadn’t talked to Felix too much about his relationship with Changbin, but he knew that Felix really liked him.

“Come on Felix, let sit okay.” Chan guided the crying, younger boy to a seat. Chan sat down on one of the few couches in the library and sat Felix beside him, caressing him in a comforting embrace. Chan rubbed small circles on Felix’s back, in aim of calming him down.

“Felix, when you’re ready, can you try and tell me what happened?” Chan asked, softly. Felix nodded, his breathing slowing down to a normal pace and his crying beginning to stop.

“Lawrence t-touched me,” Felix sniffed, explaining to Chan what had happened, “And Changbin s-saw him touching me a-and I th-think that he th-thought I was ch-cheating. H-he s-stormed off.” Felix starting crying again, he’d never do anything to hurt Changbin. Although they’d only been dating for a short time Felix cared deeply about Changbin. He’d even dare to say he loved Changbin, so never in a million years would Felix even think of cheating. Lucian and Heather approached Felix and Chan.

Chapter 9: An Explanation

Word Count: 456

Pairing/Ship: Changlix - Lee Felix and Seo Changbin

Genre: Fluff, Angst, AU

Warnings: Some Harsh Language, Some Violence

Changbin turned around to face Lucian.

“What do you want, Lu? Because if it’s about that asshole I don’t want to hear it.” The hurt could be heard in Changbin’s voice as he spoke, his head hung and shaking back and forth.

“You might want to reconsider after you hear what we have to say,” Lucian suggested, his hurting friend. Changbin sighed.

“Felix was cheating. He was being harassed.” As soon as the words left Lucian’s mouth, Changbin was standing.

“He what?!” Changbin yelled, anger boiling through his veins. He hoped he heard Lucian wrong.

“He was getting harassed… By Lawrence.” Lucian put emphasis on the word that made Changbin’s toes curl. Someone hurt Felix. Someone had hurt his Felix.

“And probably because that bitch Cecile told him to. Bin, she probably wants your Felix to herself.” Heather played off of Changbin’s anger, riling him up to set a bitch straight. Changbin’s fists were curled so tight he’d begun digging cuts in his palms cause by his fingernails.

“No one touches my Felix,” Changbin growled. Lucian held up Changbin’s bike keys in front of him. Heather had taken Changbin’s keys and brought his bike with her and Lucian. Changbin grabbed his keys and ran as fast as he could to the parking lot of the abandoned zoo. He didn’t even bother to put on his helmet. He sped off like lightning towards the school.

“I’m gonna fuck that bitch up!” Changbin screamed before he entered the school, stomping to the last period class he knew Felix shared with Cecile. He entered the classroom.

“Ma’am, may I speak to Cecile.” Changbin smiled sweetly at the teacher, then his glare traced the classroom until he found Cecile. He had noticed that Felix wasn’t in class, but he couldn’t focus too much on it now, he had to teach Cecile a lesson.

“I suppose. But make it quick.” The teacher sighed, motioning Cecile out of the class. Changbin led Cecile out to the hall.

“Changbin, did Felix cheat on you?” Cecile put on a fake sympathy act. Changbin curled his fist once again. He lifted it up and clocked Cecile right in the nose.

“AHHHHH! MY NOSE!” Cecile screamed in pain, but more so in horror that Changbin broke her nose, affecting her ‘effortlessly good looks’.

“Stay away from my Felix. Or next time a punch to the face will be the least of your worries.” Changbin hissed his threat. The classroom door swung open and the teacher came rushes towards them, a flock of students followed behind.

“To the principal’s office NOW!” The teacher pointed at Changbin, who had already started making his way down the hall. Of course, Changbin knew he was suspended, but he didn’t care.

Chapter 5 - Evil Brewing

Chapter Five Soundtrack: FXXK IT - BIGBANG

Word Count: 302

Pairing/Ship: Changlix - Lee Felix and Seo Changbin

Genre: Fluff, Angst, AU

Warnings: Some Harsh Language

The next day, Felix sat with Changbin and his friends at lunch. This was the first time Felix had ever sat with anyone at lunch, let alone a group of people. He didn't know what to do.

"So, what happened with you two last night?" Lucian asked Changbin and Felix.

"How do you know I was with him last night?" Changbin retaliated.

"You weren't at the house, and Felix is sticking to you like velcro." Lucian pointed out what Felix hadn't even noticed he was doing.

"Are y'all datin' now?" Pete asked both he and Charlie started laughing. Just as Changbin was about to respond, a girl walked up to the table.

"Aw, did Binnie finally get a boyfriend?" The girl asked genuinely.

"No..." Changbin answered. Felix's stomach dropped at his answer.

"Maybe..." Changbin changed the subject, "Lix, this is Heather, Lu's girlfriend."

"Hi, Lix. Sorry if Bin's answer made you sad. He always gets embarrassed when he gets a significant other." Heather reassured Felix.

"Only I call him Lix. He's Felix to you." Changbin stated, claiming the nickname as his only for Felix.

"Okay, Mr Bossy. So, he is your boyfriend?" Heather teased. Changbin looked at Felix.

"Yeah?" Changbin more asked than answered, not breaking eye contact with Felix.

"Dating?" Felix finally spoke, "Can we try dating first? This is my first time being in anything like this?"

"Yeah, Lix." Changbin agreed, wrapping an arm around Felix's waist.

Cecile watched Changbin wrap his arm around Felix from a distance. Her face became hot with anger.

"He's mine and that freak isn't going to keep him from me!" She shouted at Lawrence, who was sitting beside her.

"You!" She pointed harshly at Lawrence, "Get rid of him. Fuck with Felix and make that asshole watch." She instructed Lawrence the most wretched task.

Chapter 8: The Other Side

Word Count: 345

Pairing/Ship: Changlix - Lee Felix and Seo Changbin

Genre: Fluff, Angst, AU

Warnings: Some Harsh Language

“Have either of you seen…” Lucian stopped himself when he saw that Felix was crying, “What happened?” Chan looked at Felix as if asking permission to tell. Felix nodded. “Lawrence touched Felix and Changbin saw, got mad, and stormed off.” “Felix, I’m so sorry that’s awful.” Heather comforted the crying again boy, who was shaking in Chan’s arms. Felix was traumatized. “I bet Cecile was behind it too. She’s obsessed with you. I’m going to kill that bitch when I get the chance.” Heather hissed. Felix shuttered at the mention of Cecile’s name. The thought of her disgusted him and it hadn’t even occurred to him that Cecile was probably behind it. “I- I would n-never d-do something l-like that t-to him.” Felix was in his own mind. “Something like what?” Lucian asked. “Felix thinks that Changbin got mad at him because he thought Felix was cheating,” Chan explained, Felix was still zoned out and shivering. “Oh, fuck, huh.” Lucian let out a sigh, “He would too. He’s been through so much shit like that.” Lucian looked at Heather who had sat down beside Felix, joining Chan in comforting him. “Babe, we should talk to Bin.” Lucian helped Heather off the couch. Heather nodded in agreement and Chan waved them off. “Where would he be though?” Heather asked her boyfriend. “I have a pretty good idea about where he’s at.” Changbin sat on top of a cement block in an abandoned zoo. ‘Why would Felix do this?’ was the only question going through Changbin’s mind. ‘Why Felix why?’ A single tear rolled down Changbin’s cheek. He was more hurt by Felix than he had been by any previous cheating boyfriend he’d had. Why Felix meant this much to him, he couldn’t wrap his head around it. Tears started falling more steadily until Changbin was completely sobbing. He had never cried this hard over a past boyfriend. He just didn’t know what to do with these feeling. Changbin couldn’t decide if he wanted to cry harder or punch something… or both. “Bin.”

Chapter 4: True Heart

Chapter Four Soundtrack: Voices - Stray Kids, For You - 3RACHA

Word Count: 2,016

Pairing/Ship: Changlix - Lee Felix and Seo Changbin

Genre: Fluff (soft kissing), Angst, AU

Warnings: BoyxBoy Kissing, Some Harsh Language

Felix was still clutching onto Changbin for dear life by the time they pulled into his driveway. Felix’s home was a small, honest house. Felix made his way to the door of the two-story townhouse and Changbin followed in hot pursuit. Felix opened his door revealing a small hallway. Changbin entered and peered around the corner of a doorway, seeing the rest of the lower level. A dining room and kitchen were connected by a wide opening.

“My room is this way.” Felix pointed to the stairs that the small hallway led to. Changbin took charge and headed up the stairs first. Felix following in confusion, as Changbin blindly led the way. When Felix made it to the top of the stairs, Changbin was standing in front of a door, hand on knob, ready to enter. Changbin gave Felix a questioning look and Felix shook his head indicating that that was not, in fact, his room. Changbin moved onto the next door and repeated what he had done at the previous door and Felix shook his head once again. They continued this until Changbin reached Felix’s door. Felix gave him a nod of approval and Changbin swung the door open. Inside was Felix’s small bedroom. His bed was small and lonely in the middle of the room, only touching one wall. The other walls were lined with bookshelves that were filled with adventure upon adventure, just waiting to be read. Beside where Felix’s bed lay, was one solemn dresser that housed the few clothes that Felix had. Changbin dragged his hand across the books, walking passed each bookshelf.

“You really like reading, huh?” Changbin picked up one of the books that were being pushed out of place.

“It’s pretty much the only thing I do.” Felix shrugged admittedly. He went the nicest shelf out of the many and picked up the second Harry Potter book, replacing it with the first. He handed it to Changbin.

“Thanks. I guess I’ll get going now.” Changbin took the book and made his way to the door, only to be stopped by Felix.

“A-are you going back to that house?” Felix asked, wondering if what those guys said, the night before, was true. Changbin nodded without even turning around. He started walking again, out the door and towards the stairs. Felix followed him and swung himself out the door, holding onto the door frame.

“Why don’t you stay here tonight?” Felix offered Changbin. He really wanted him to stay. Felix was starting to grow attached to the intriguing boy.

“Are you sure that’s ok? What about your family?” Changbin wondered, not wanting to impose.

“It’s alright, my sister isn’t going to be home tonight and my mom works late,” Felix informed, encouraging Changbin to stay.

“What about your dad?” Changbin asked curiously. Felix’s face fell to a saddened look.

“He left when I was five.” Felix’s eyes were on the ground.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mea-”

“It’s ok. You couldn’t have known.” Felix gave Changbin, a sad but sweet smile. Changbin put a comforting hand on Felix’s shoulder.

“If it’s any consolation, my parents don’t really give a fuck about me. I stay at that place to get away from their bullshit.” Felix watched in shock as Changbin realized how open he just was. The latter's eyes widened and he made his way back to Felix’s room, quickly changing the subject.

“So, Lix, what do ya do for fun here?” Changbin sat himself down on Felix’s small bed. Felix wanted to correct the nickname but decided against it. It was much better than Cecile’s nickname for him.

“I read.” Felix sat down beside Changbin, sliding into the dip in the bed where Changbin sat.

“Yeah, but other than that.”

“Homework?” Felix tried hard to think of other things he did, but other than reading, school work, sleeping and eating, he really didn’t do much.

“Really? You really don’t do anything but reading, huh? What about drinking? Do you drink?” Changbin scratched the back of his neck.

“Water… occasionally milk.” Felix’s reply was innocent and Changbin hit a hand to his face.

“You’re really too innocent, aren’t you?” Changbin chuckled, shaking his head. Felix raised an eyebrow. He knew he was innocent, but he didn’t think too much of it before now.

“What about girls? You got a girlfriend?” Changbin pried deeper into Felix’s person. Felix shook his head.

“Never really thought about that before.”

“So, you’re gay?”

“No. I’m just… not interested I guess.” Changbin sighed in disbelief at Felix’s responses.

“Dude, how can you be straight and uninterested in girls.” Changbin laid back on the bed and sprawled himself out. Felix had never really thought about girls or boys or being straight or gay or love in general. Felix just read; he read to avoid life; he read to forget about how his mom struggled working two jobs and his sister was out of the house, who knows where every other night; he read to avoid the emotions he felt about his father leaving; he just read. But here, now as Changbin laid across his bed, drilling questions into him, all the realities of life hit Felix like a sledgehammer to the face. And the hardest hit; why wasn’t he interested in girls?

“Is there something wrong with me?” Sadness could be hear welling up in the back of Felix’s throat, seeing stirring in his eyes. Felix wasn’t asking Changbin specifically, he was wondering aloud. In fact, Felix hadn’t even realized he’d asked the question out loud.

“Of course not Felix.” Changbin sat up, realizing he might’ve been too straightforward with the innocent boy. Changbin put his hand on Felix’s, now quivering, shoulder.

“There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s okay to not like girls, yet or in general.” Changbin comforted him, but Felix had already started to cry. Changbin moved his hand slowly, rubbing circles on Felix’s back.

“Hey, don’t cry,” Changbin spoke softly, not wanting to upset Felix anymore. Felix’s tears slowed and he looked up to face Changbin, letting out a sniffle.

“If I was gay, would you still talk to me?” Felix asked, he didn’t know if he was gay, but he sure didn’t want to go back to be alone.

“Yeah, course I would.” Changbin continued rubbing circles on Felix’s back.

“Do you think Chan hyung would too?” Felix was looking at his hands now.

“The librarian? You kiddin’? He thinks you’re great. You couldn’t get him to stop talking to ya even if you wanted to.” Changbin chuckled, hoping that remark would make Felix feel better. And it did. Felix gave a small smile. He leaned into Changbin wrapping his arms around him.

“Thank you, Changbin… hyung.” Felix smiled into the hug he was giving Changbin.

“How do you know I’m you’re hyung?” Changbin asked, confused.

“You are, aren’t you?”

“Well, how old are you, Lix?”

“Seventeen.” Felix sat up from the hug to face Changbin. Changbin nodded.

“I’m eighteen, so I guess you’re right.” Changbin ruffled the younger boy’s hair and a smile found it’s way back onto Felix’s face.

“Uh, hyung,” Felix’s face went serious, “Don’t tell anyone I’m gay because I don’t actually know yet.”

“Well, Lix, do you want to find out?” Changbin’s words confused Felix.

“What do you mea-” Felix was cut off by Changbin’s lips pressing against his. Felix tried to pull back in shock, but Changbin held his face in place for a bit longer. Finally, he let Felix go, gasping for air.

“So?” Changbin said through breaths, “Ya like being kissed by a guy?” Felix’s mind was going crazy. He couldn’t even begin to comprehend what had just happened. He felts as if his heart was going to pound out of his chest. Tingles shot through Felix’s spine and his face flushed with red. Changbin laughed.

“By the look of it, you do.”

“I thought you were straight!” Felix almost shouted. Changbin began to laugh even harder at Felix declaration.

“No, I’m bi. I like guys and girls.” Changbin said through breathy laughs. By now he was rolling around on Felix’s bed, clutching his stomach. Felix’s senses were still overwhelmed by the feeling of his first kiss. Changbin’s laughter died down as realization set in.

“Fuck… Felix… I’m sorry. That was your first kiss, wasn’t it? Fuck, I’m so sorry. I’m such an asshole. I should’ve asked first. Fuck.” Changbin’s words came out like a thread as he stood up, readying himself to be dismissed.

“I- it’s o- okay…” Felix’s stuttered, shaking his head, “D- don’t leave. I- I don’t m- mind. I th- think I l- liked it.” Changbin sat back down.

“Really?” Changbin felt a strange feeling in his stomach as Felix confessed.

“I think… I like… you.” Felix’s head dropped, his gaze landing on the ground. He could feel the butterflies take over as he awaited Changbin’s response. Felix felt Changbin’s hands around his waist pulling him forward. He hesitated, but followed the guidance of Changbin’s hands pulling him upward and onto Changbin’s lap. He heard a small, quiet laugh escape Changbin’s mouth.

“I think I like you too, Lix.” Changbin placed his index finger on Felix’s chin, lifting Felix’s gaze from his hands to Changbin’s eyes.

“You’re cute when you’re shy, Lix.” Felix felt a shiver creep it’s way up his body as the words fell from Changbin’s lips with ease. How was Changbin so good at making him feel this way.

“Lix,” Changbin whispered. Felix’s whole body started to tingle at the sound of the nickname. Changbin’s lips found their way to Felix’s, kissing softly and speeding up quickly. Changbin licked Felix’s lips not breaking the kiss and Felix opened his mouth, not knowing what was to come. Changbin was about to slide his tongue into Felix’s mouth when he stopped himself.

“I think we should stop here before we get ahead of ourselves, Lix.” Both Changbin and Felix’s breathing was heavy. Felix nodded in agreement but didn’t move from Changbin’s lap. His arms were still around his hyung’s neck. Felix didn’t ever want to let go.

“Already 10:00pm?! Damn, time really does fly when you’re havin’ fun, huh Lix?” Changbin laughed, looking at the time on his phone. A shiver crept up Felix’s spine once again.

“Should we sleep now?” Changbin suggested. Felix, who was still in a trance from the events that had just taken place, nodded. Changbin wrapped an arm around Felix and used the other one to pull down the covers off the empty half of the bed. He pulled Felix off of his lap and into the bed, tucking the covers back over Felix.

“Wait, hyung what about my clothes? I need to change into my PJs.” Felix giggled, getting up from his spot on the bed.

“Oh, right.” Changbin stood, corrected. He pulled off his shirt and slid off his jeans throwing them both to the side, then crawling onto the spot on the bed where he was previously sitting, this time laying down and covering himself with the blankets. Felix watched him in confusion.

“Don’t you need pyjamas?” Felix asked, pulling open a drawer in his dresser.

“I sleep in my boxers,” Changbin replied, adjusting his pillows. Felix shrugged and continued to pull out his favourite sleeping shirt. He undressed and slid the long, cosy shirt over his body.

“Hot,” Changbin muttered to himself as he watched the younger boy undress.

“Pardon?” Felix looked at Changbin who quickly turned his gaze away. Changbin shook his head.

“Come to bed, sweetie,” Changbin said in a mocking tone. Felix laughed and rolled his eyes at his hyung, who was goofing around. He returned to the spot where Changbin had originally pulled him to and laid down.

“Goodnight sweetie.” Felix mocked back and placed a soft kiss on Changbin’s lips. Changbin smirked. Felix turned around facing the wall. He felt a hand slide across his side and pull him close. Changbin pressed his body against Felix’s spooning him tightly.

“Goodnight Lix,” Changbin whispered and with that the two boys fell asleep.

It was already dark out by the time Felix started walking to the party. He was absolutely dreading this event. How could he have given in? What an idiot. He thought to himself. Felix let out a groan of frustration at himself, and just as if he was in one of his books, the weather decided to reflect his emotions. An enormous roll of thunder shook the earth and lighten struck not so far away as if Zeus himself was there, then suddenly the heavens opened up. Felix pulled his jacket tighter around himself. He was about to start running when he noticed an abandoned house a couple steps away. Felix ran for cover, into the abandoned house.

Ominous creeks came from the ground as Felix ventured farther into the garage of the abandoned household. Felix felt as if he was being watched.

“Hello?” Felix called out into the darkness.

“Is anyone there?” A sharp noise stung Felix’s ears as metal clanked on metal. Felix heard a faint ‘shit’ from a voice coming from beyond the dark in front of him. Something grabbed Felix from behind and before he knew it he was in a chokehold. Just as he was about to let out a deafening screaming a hand clasped his mouth shut.

“What’s in your bag!” A figure in all black shouted at Felix, who now was being held to face the figure in black. Felix was on the verge of tears. The hand was removed from his mouth so he could reply.

“Just a book and a cola, please let me go.” Felix pleaded as tears welled up in this eyes.

“Drop him, Lu.” The figure said. On command, Felix was dropped to the ground. Felix scrambled to his feet, turning to run, but he couldn’t because he was once again grabbed by the collar id his shirt. This time though, the culprit was the figure in black.

“Hold on, why the fuck should I let you go?”

“Please, I don’t mean any harm I just want to go home.” Felix was full-on crying now. The figure sighed. He took off his mask and revealed a familiar face. Felix knew him, but how? He didn’t know. The boy holding Felix was about his height, with black hair and deep brown eyes. His face structure was triangular, but Felix found it cute. In fact, overall Felix thought that this boy’s dark seeming personality didn’t match his figure. Although the boy had an intimidating persona, he had a cute figure and face.

“Do I k-know you?” Felix sputtered through a sniffle, “You go to JY High, right?”

“Yeah, we all do.” The boy replied. Three other boys emerged from the dark behind him.

“You’re that kid all the girl like, yeah?” The boy examined Felix, eyes tracing him, up then down and back up again.

“I- I don’t know… My name is Felix. Lee Felix.” Felix stuck out his hand to the boy that still had him by his collar. The boy gave his hand a look and then raised an eyebrow at Felix.

“You’re supposed to shake it…” Felix instructed.

“I know. I’m not a dumbass. But why are you introducing yourself to me?”

“Because it’s polite Mr…”

“Seo Changbin.”

“Well nice to meet you!” Felix took Changbin’s free hand and shook it.

“I’m Lucian and this is Charlie and Pete.” One of the boys behind Changbin spoke up. Felix dropped Changbin’s one hand and took the other one off of his collar. He walked towards the three boys that had just been introduced to him.

“Nice to meet you all!” Felix gave a big smile.

“Ni-“ A big crash of thunder cut Lucian off, causing all the boys to jump out of their skin, startled. Charlie burst into laughter.

“Let’s go inside.” Lucian chuckled, joining Charlie and now Pete in laughter. Changbin was still straight-faced and unamused.

“Don’t mind him,” Lucian whispered to Felix, motioning to Changbin, who was leading the crew up an old staircase into a rugged, run-down living room, “He’s not big on visitors, but he’s actually a nice guy once you get to know him.” Felix smiled at the back of Changbin’s back. ‘I wonder if he likes reading.’ Felix thought to himself. Felix secretly hoped he could actually become friends with Changbin. Unbeknownst to Felix, he and Changbin both desperately wanted a real friend.

Changbin took a seat on an old rickety couch, that appeared to be falling apart. Felix couldn’t understand why anyone would want to hang out here, but at the same time, he felt as though he never wanted to leave. This place would be a perfect reading spot for him.

“So… is this like… your hangout spot?” Felix asked still looking around the place that was once beautiful.

“Well, Binnie basically lives here, and this is where we keep our motorbikes, but other than that yeah, it’s our hangout.” Pete’s answer spiked Felix’s curiosity about Changbin.

“Why do you live here?”

“He hates his rich fami-”

“SHUT UP!” Changbin shouted furiously, interrupting Charlie’s honest answer. Changbin picked up a piece of wood and threw it at the feet of where Charlie and Pete were sitting.

“GET OUT! ALL OF YOU!” Changbin demanded. Felix jumped from his spot on a lonesome chair.

“Except you,” Changbin pointed at Felix with a harsh finger, “You, sit.” Felix did exactly as he was told, as he was too afraid to do otherwise.

Once everyone else had left Changbin proceeded with a question to Felix.

“What book?”

“Pardon?”

“You said you had a book. What is it?”

“Oh…” Felix pulled his book from his satchel, “It’s the first Harry Potter book. I’m rereading the series again.”

“How many times have you read it”? Changbin made his way towards Felix’s lone chair. He pulled up a stool and sat facing Felix.

“Uh, I think around 9 or 10 times.” Felix peered at the book in his hands, trying to recall all the time he had read it.

“Damn,” Changbin mumbled under his breath.

“Have you ever read it?” Felix finally had his chance.

“I don’t read.” Changbin shook his head.

“Oh. It’s such a wonderful experience though.” Felix brought his gaze back to Changbin, who was now looking down at his hands.

“Do you want to read this? You can borrow it if you want.” Felix offered. Changbin shrugged and let out a little breath.

“I guess. You’ve read it 10 times, so it must be good.” Changbin brought his eyes to meet Felix. A smile as wide as the ocean spread across Felix’s face as he handed Changbin his beloved book. Changbin opened the book immediately.

“Oh…” Felix’s shocked voice causes Changbin to look up from the book, “You’re starting now?” Changbin nodded and went back to the book. Felix adjusted himself in the chair. He wanted to sleep, but he also wasn’t positively sure he could trust Changbin. Nonetheless, Felix found himself drifting off to sleep in a strange place with a strange boy reading a book by his side. If this wasn’t straight out of Felix’s dreams he did know what was.
