More ChanLix with a lil bit of YugBam becuz I feel terrible for making y'all wait so long for the ChanLix ship FFS...and also I'm trying to delay the inevitable angst that y'all may or may not kill me for ⊙_⊙

The next morning, Felix woke up before Chan did, and he realised that their position had changed from the previous night. The two were both lying on their side with Felix's back against Chan's chest and muscular stomach and Chan's arms wrapped around his mid-section, holding him close.

It was very cold that morning as it was currently winter in the district, but luckily it never got cold enough to snow, unlike in District 8 where it would sometimes snow for half the winter.

Felix smiled a little as he slowly, carefully turned around in Chan's embrace, now face to face with Chan. Chan then opened his eyes slowly, feeling the slow movement and blinked tiredly at Felix.

"Morning" Chan's voice was raspy from sleep, and Felix shivered a bit at the sound.

"Morning" Felix's voice was an octave deeper and also raspy.

Chan hummed, smirking lazily as he leaned in and kissed Felix slowly. Felix instantly responded to the kiss, sighing contentedly. He wished this moment would never end...but the sticky feeling in his boxers made him cringe. Chan broke the kiss, looking confusedly at Felix.

"What's wrong?" Chan asked softly.

"Uh, my boxers feel all gross and shit" Felix pouted.

Chan chuckled softly, a fond look in his tired eyes.

"BamBam and Yugyeom have a working shower next to their room in the warehouse. We can go use that one" Chan explained.

Felix nods, wiggling out of Chan's embrace who just raised an eyebrow and slowly stood up. Chan grabbed a nearby slightly smaller blanket as Felix stood up as well, and the older male wrapped said slightly smaller blanket around Felix.

"Uhm, Chan, what are you-whoa!" Felix exclaimed as Chan picked him up bridal style, "the hell Chan, I can walk you know" Felix huffed.

"I don't want anyone seeing you the way I have" Chan growled, sounding almost possessive.

"Hah, speak for yourself! You're the one parading around half naked, and everyone would be asleep anyway!" Felix scoffed as they exited the bus, "and it's fucking freezing" Felix whined.

"I'm used to it" Chan shrugged.

Chan glanced up at the sky...it was overcast and it looked like a storm was on the way. Chan never associated rain with good things. He knew it wouldn't be long until something terrible came their way...or maybe it already has...

"Chan, you okay?" Felix whispered as he noticed he had stopped walking.

"Yeah, it's just...the last time I was in the middle of a storm, I found my best friend hanging from a tree. The last tike it rained here in District 9...we lost another one to suicide..." Chan frowned.

"....Can I ask who?" Felix whispered.

"It was Taehyung's best friend...someone who was like a mentor to all of us...a demon, Jonghyun" Chan frowned. (😔😩IM SORRY GUYS! TBH I still cry about it, and I'm really, really, extremely sorry if I triggered any of you😞)

"As in Kim Jonghyun?" Felix asked, sounding surprised.

"Yeah" Chan smirked.

"Wow...I didn't know he..." Felix frowned.

"No one knew he was struggling Lix, not even Taehyung" Chan smiled sadly.

Felix nods, giggling a little as he remembered something.

"Is that why you hugged me when we were in the cell yesterday?" Felix asked.

"Actually, yes" Chan looks down at Felix as he starts walking toward the warehouse again, "because I don't want you going through what they went through. Depression is a fucked up thing, and I don't want someone as precious as you going through that bullshit" Chan spoke in a serious tone.

"Uh, it's a bit late for that speech" Felix chuckled at the confused look on Chan's face, "when I lost my sister, when I...you know, saw her head get chopped off, I went through a bout of depression that lasted a month. After that though, I realised I couldn't dwell on it. I had to look out for my brother...I had to be the strong one...I had to grow up" Felix leaned his head against Chan's chest as they entered the warehouse.

"Well, hello there you two" BamBam smirked from a little ways away.

"We're here to steal your bathroom" Chan smirked.

"You know where it is dumbass" BamBam joked.

Chan nods, walking in the direction of BamBam and Yugyeom's room and into their bathroom. Meanwhile, Yugyeom had walked into the warehouse from the back as he had finished filling up the water tank using the nearby river.

"Looks like a storm's on its way" Yugyeom said as he wrapped his arms around BamBam from behind.

BamBam sighed, leaning back into Yugyeom's hug.

"Why do I have a terrible feeling that everything is going to go to shit? First Lisa arrives here, and now there's a fucking storm on the way. it rarely ever rains here!" BamBam exclaims.

"Calm down babe, everything will be okay...I hope"

No Yugyeom, nothing will be okay ;-; bruh...I'm not looking forward to the angst I'm going to write, I'm honestly not...but there's a pattern here....

Rain = Death
