This one-shot was requested by IkonicWoozi UwU now, let's hope I can do this right hehe

In which Minho and Felix are really close, during their time being eliminated and even after they were brought back...

Minho was always there for Felix when no one else was. Minho taught Felix Korean for crying out loud. They grew to be so close, so when Minho was eliminated, it really hit Felix hard. When Felix was eliminated, Minho was the first person Felix had gone running to, running into Minho's arms and sobbing profusely.

They even sometimes practiced together; practicing the choreography for Stray Kids' songs even though they were, at the time, no longer in Stray Kids. There was one time that they were practicing, and for some reason Felix still couldn't quite do this one part in the Hellevator choreo and kept tripping over his own feet, and he got frustrated and angry at himself, and he went into a full mental breakdown.

"Sh, sh, shush Lix, it's okay" Minho had wrapped his arms around Felix in a comforting hug.

Felix had gripped onto the front of Minho's shirt tightly, his head buried in the older's chest. Minho sighed sadly, rubbing Felix's back comfortingly as he rested his chin on Felix's shoulder.

Felix was also always there for Minho when the older of the two needed him most. Yes, Felix was quite an emotional person, but that didn't mean Minho didn't need a comforting hug every now and again.

No one really knew when their brotherly love grew into something else, it kind of just...happened. Slowly, but it did happen.

At first, it was just little kisses to the cheek and a hug that lasted a few moments longer than usual, and then it grew into sneaking into each others rooms and snuggling in one of their beds and tiny, unnoticeable kisses on the corner of the mouth.

The others were starting to notice how close Minho and Felix really were, but none of them tried to push them out into the open...

Well, almost none of them.

"Oh my GOD, would you two just date already!?" Jisung called out from the other end of the practice room.

Felix blushed beetroot red, hiding his face in Minho's chest. Chan slapped Jisung on the arm, glaring at the younger and shaking his head in disappointment.

Minho just giggled as he wrapped his arms around Felix's waist, his chin resting atop Felix's currently orange dyed hair.

Chan especially had noticed how close Minho and Felix were since their elimination-well, rather he had finally come to that realisation after who knows how long. It had been months since their survival show, and yet sometimes it felt like Minho and Felix were in their own little worlds 90% of the time.

There were times that Felix would go running into Minho's room, and climb I to bed crying because he had a nightmare, then there were other times that Minho would just cuddle Felix because he needed someone to hug.

They were always there for each other, and they wouldn't have it any other way...

IM SORRY THIS WAS A SHORT ONE >~< I didn't know how else to write it, and I tried one direction but it didn't seem to work out to well OOF I'm sorry you had to wait so long
