the roommate.
rafe cameron x reader x felix catton.
pt. 4
masterlist
as felix exited the bar, following your boyfriend's tall figure, memories of the past months living with you flooded his mind.
living in such close quarters had magnified the subtle dance of emotions.
he recalled the late-night talks, the way you would fiddle with the clasps of his bracelets or trace your fingers over the stars tattoo on his hand whenever you talked to him, and the way it secretly made his stomach flutter.
he remembered all the late night talks in the balcony, all the cigarettes you two shared while laying on the grass, the sunlight made you look heavenly, he always thought to himself.
all of the parties, the shared quiet laughs in class—these moments lingered in his mind, etched with an ache he couldn't quite name.
felix couldn’t deny the attraction he felt towards you.
he always found himself stealing glances when you changed in your shared room, unable to resist the pull of his eyes. the way your figure moved, the subtle curves, and the casual grace in your actions created an undeniable allure for him.
he had never felt this way about a girl, it was always about sex with them, but not with you.
not that he didn’t think about it, he did. some would argue he thought about it way too much, but he couldn’t help it. he simply had to have you.
but of course there was rafe, and you would never.
to be fair, you found yourself in a conflicting whirlwind of emotions when it came to felix.
despite your committed and loving relationship with rafe, there was an undeniable, magnetic attraction to felix that tugged at your thoughts.
you couldn’t deny the subtle flutters when felix was near, the way his wit and charm drew you in.
you struggled to admit, even to yourself, the undercurrent of feelings you had for felix. it was a silent acknowledgment, buried deep within, as you navigated the complexities of emotions.
the guilt lingered, but so did the unspoken attraction that added a layer of tension to all your interactions.
as felix opened the door, the chilly night air embraced him and rafe, as they stood outside the pub, the distant sounds of the party acting as a faint background melody.
rafe took a deep breath, trying to clear the tension that had built up inside him throughout the evening.
"so, rafe cameron, the infamous boyfriend," felix remarked, breaking the silence.
he leaned against the wall casually, his eyes studying rafe's reaction.
rafe shot him a sharp glance, unamused. "cut the act. i know exactly what you're doing."
felix raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. "and what, my dear, might i be doing?"
rafe crossed his arms, a defensive stance. "you're trying to get under my skin, testing how much i can take."
he was used to this kind of thing. i mean come on, was this the first time another boy wanted you? of course no. he was used to all the dickheads in the island wanting to get his hands on you.
that’s why rafe made it his number one priority to make sure everyone knew you were his, and if he had to kick some pouge ass to do so, he was ok with it.
so let’s say he was not that threatened.
felix's playful demeanor softened, "look, i get it. you're protective, and that's cool with me. we’re just friends.” a hint of sadness breaking through. he wanted to be more than that, and he knew it.
rafe remained silent, his expression unreadable.
“just friends, huh?"
felix sighed, a wry smile on his face. "yeah, friends. and to answer your unspoken question, i know she's yours. i know." his stomach turned as he said the words.
rafe raised an eyebrow, a mix of surprise and suspicion in his eyes.
felix chuckled. "relax, mate. now, why don't you head back inside? i'm sure she's missing you."
rafe regarded felix for a moment, then turned to make his way back into the pub. as he disappeared inside, felix let out a soft sigh, watching him go, a tinge of sadness in his eyes.
later, back at the table, felix announced, "hey, everyone, i've got an early morning thing with ollie so i should get going. i'll crash at his place. give you two some space," he declared, flashing a smile in your direction, yet there was a subtle hint of longing in his eyes.
leaving you with rafe, felix felt a sense of loss. the special connection he cherished felt like it was slipping away, making him long for the times when it was just the two of you navigating the uncharted territories of friendship.
on the other side, rafe's expression shifted from annoyance to a subtle sense of triumph.
contradictory thoughts invaded your mind. why were you upset that felix was leaving? you had wanted a night with your boyfriend since you got here, but now… it was different.
“let’s go, princess” rafe got up and took your hand “i’m in the mood to show you how just how much i missed you” the boy said while smirking.
your mood switched, and you smiled back “okay rafey” maybe you just needed to be reminded of who you belonged to.
