When Minho came back to the room, Hyunjin was waking up again, while Felix was still sleeping peacefully in the arms of the older.

"Hey, handsome? How are you?" Minho asked softly and sat down on the chair next to the bed.

Sighing, Hyunjin let his fingers wander through Felix's hair. "I'm in pain. The painkillers are weaning. And I'm madly annoyed that I have to stay here..."

Minho looked at him compassionately until his gaze lingered on Hyunjin's fingers in Felix's hair. He suppressed a sigh, but had to grin at the same time and felt a bit schizophrenic. He had absolutely no problem with Felix lying in Hyunjin's arms, on the other hand, he would have liked to have the younger one in his own arms.

For a moment, Hyunjin felt insecure. Felix had told him that Minho had absolutely no problem with the closeness between them, but somehow it felt strange when Minho watched them cuddle.

Nevertheless, he wasn't ready to wake Felix and to not cuddle with him anymore.

Uncomfortably, Hyunjin bit around on his lower lip while he avoided looking at Minho.

But Minho seemed to be very aware of what was going on in the younger one. "Pretty, stop this, you're destroying your lip. It's really okay for me that he's in bed with you!" he explained with a soft chuckle.

Hyunjin looked at him in surprise, but could see nothing but absolute honesty in the eyes of the older. "But why...?"

"I love him. Very much. And you are an insanely important part of his life. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I blamed him for an important part of his life...? And your friendship has existed for much longer than I am in his life," Minho explained and shrugged his shoulders.

"I love you very much too, Min," Felix muttered sleepily, stretched out and snuggled up to Hyunjin again.

This made Minho and Hyunjin laugh and at the same time made Hyunjin feel better. Gratefully, he smiled at Minho.

"Actually, I would want to take him home and think of a solution for the kittens, but it doesn't look like he's wanting to get away from you." Smiling, Minho grabbed the hand, which Felix held out to him with a guilty, very cute smile.

But even before anyone could say anything about it, there was a knock on the door and the two doctors Felix had overheard entered the room.

At first they only noticed Minho, but as they got closer to the bed, they also spotted Felix in Hyunjin's arms. "You... oh you have visitors..."

This time not only Felix blushed bright red, but also Hyunjin, while Minho just watched the two grinning.

"I think you have to get out of bed now, baby," Minho chuckled, reaching out to Felix to help him get up.

Not very enthusiastic, Felix let Minho help him out of bed, while Hyunjin sat up and looked at the two doctors curiously.

"It might be good if you could wait outside for a moment."

Without comment, Felix and Minho disappeared from the room and still saw how the one doctor sat down with Hyunjin on the bed before the door closed behind them.

"What do you think they want from him?" Felix asked in surprise.

But Minho only shrugged his shoulders and pulled Felix to himself. Buried his fingers in the younger's blue hair and kissed him.

"I missed you," he growled softly and gently pulled on Felix's hair.

"I missed you too..." Felix mumbled, trying to hide that he was blushing. He loved it when Minho pulled on his hair and it sent a shiver all over his body every time.

Grinning, Minho lifted Felix's chin and kissed him again. Demanding. Let his hand wander to Felix's hip and grabbed him. Pushed against him, which made Felix groan in surprise.

Embarrassed, Felix lowered his gaze after Minho had detached himself from him.But Minho just gently put a finger under Felix's chin and lifted it. To his surprise, he found nervousness and desire in Felix's look.

"Do you want to go home with me?" he asked softly and kissed Felix again fleetingly before taking a step back.

Felix nodded exuberantly and reached for Minho's hand. "I just want to say goodbye to Jinnie, then we can go."

"We have to go to your apartment later to get the kittens. But I have other plans for now," Minho whispered, watching with satisfaction as Felix blushed before pulling him into his arms.

Full of nervousness and anticipation, Felix pressed himself against him. Although he was aware of where they were and he actually wanted to hold back, he gently bit Minho's neck. "I love you!" he murmured, his lips still on Minho's neck.

"I love you too, baby!"

After a quick glance at both sides, he pushed his hand under Felix's shirt. Let his fingers wander over the soft skin of the younger and had to hold back a lot. "If we weren't in a hospital..."

Sighing, he stepped back, even though it was really hard for him. He wanted nothing more than to pull Felix closer, kiss him and dig his fingers into the velvety skin of the younger.

Felix chuckled softly to overplay his nervousness.

Which didn't really work, because Minho winked at him with a knowing grin. But before he could say anything, the door of Hyunjin's room opened and the two doctors came out.

The younger one looked like she wanted to say something, but Felix took advantage of the moment and slipped through the open door. "I'm going to say goodbye and then we can go."

This seemed to satisfy the doctor, because she nodded and then disappeared with her colleague in the next room.

Hyunjin sat on his bed and looked thoughtful, but nowhere near as dissatisfied as before.

"Everything okay, baby?" Felix asked softly and sat down on the bed with him.

Indecisive, Hyunjin shrugs his shoulders and pulls Felix into his arms. "I think so. Jeongin didn't took the news well and the doctors would like to put him in my room. Although it probably isn't usually done, but he said my name before he fainted. They hope I can give him some emotional stability. That's why they wanted to talk to me alone."

"Do you feel ready for this? You barely processed what happened yourself," Felix asked softly, afraid to upset the older with it.

But Hyunjin just shrugged again. "I don't know. Maybe it's good for me to have something to do and not be able to ponder all the time."

A gentle smile appeared on Felix's lips and he nodded. At least half convinced. "So it's okay for you if we leave now? I'll definitely be back tomorrow!"

Now Hyunjin was smiling too.

"Of course, go and have fun with Minho." Grinning, he winked at Felix and was surprised when the younger blushed.

"Will I..." Felix mumbled, snuggled closer to Hyunjin for a moment. "I love you, Jinnie!"

"I love you too, baby."

Before Felix could break away from him and climb out of bed, Hyunjin pressed a gentle kiss on the younger's temple and ruffled his hair again.

"Maybe you'll bring brownies tomorrow. Jeongin would certainly be happy about it," Hyunjin said, trying to look completely innocent as he watched Felix climb out of bed.

"Only Jeongin would be happy?" the blue-haired asked smirking, as he slowly walked to the door.

"What?! Me too, of course. You know, I love your brownies!"

"I know. I'll bring some," Felix chuckled before pulling the door behind him and leaving Hyunjin alone with his thoughts.
