Felix sighs and finally lifts himself off his bed, heading over to Minho's room and knocking on his door.

"Come in!" A muffled voice calls from behind the door.

"Hey hyung."

"Oh hey dude, how ya feeling?"

"Fine, a little embarrassed but fine."

"Well that's good. What's up?" Minho asks as he takes off his PJ shirt and puts on a clean one.

"Oh uhm well, Chan asked me out on a date."

"Cool, when?"

"Uh today...Like all day..."

"Oh..." Minho says smirking.

"Djeidjwxj I really want to go with him."

"I'm sorry did you just keysmash in real life?" Felix smiles sheepishly and Minho sighs. "Just go get ready you dork."

Felix nods and runs back towards his room, eager to pick an outfit.

Chan enters the cafe and greets Nayeon at the counter.

"All alone this time?"

"For now..iced coffee, with soy."

"Oh?" Nayeon raises an eyebrow and puts in the order.

"Yeah I'm waiting for someone."

"Well I think he's here." Nayeon smiles and flicks her eyes towards the door. Chan turns and smiles at the young boy who walks towards him.

"Can I have a Caramel Mocha please?
No whip." Felix smiles to Nayeon, fully aware that he just ignored Chan.

"I- sure." Nayeon says, trying to hold in her laughter.

"Are you guys *chuckle* paying together?"

"What do you mean hyung?"

"FeLiX!" The boy doesn't turn to Chan, but he tries his hardest not to laugh. Chan sighs. "Yes Nayeon, I'm paying."

"Alright." Chan hands Nayeon his card, glaring at Felix as he does so. Felix merely turns to a table and sits down. Chan waits for the drinks and brings them to the table, sitting down glumly.

"Aw Channie, what's wrong?"

"Oh shut it Felix, you're mean."

"Ahaha am I now?" Felix feigns innocence and Chan just rolls his eyes and takes a sip of his drink. "Alright alright, I give up. Sorry, just felt like playing around. Now! What do you have planned for today?"

"I- shit."

"You don't have anything planned do you?"

"Look it was last minute! Plus I was up all night thinking about stuff."

"Oh what stuff?"

"I was uh..." Chan begins to panic. "uh...IwasthinkingabouthowcuteyouareinLittleSpace."

. . .

"WHAT!? Wait you thought that was cute? Oh my god, that's so embarrassing." Felix laughs sadly and tries to cover his blushing face.

"Are you kidding? It was adorable!"

"Hhhhhhh." Felix groans and fully covers his face with his hands. Chan laughs and gently grabs the younger's hands, removing them from his face.

"Don't be so embarrassed princess, I want to see that pretty face of yours."

"Oh my GoD LeT mE LiVe YoU hEaThEn!"

"Ahaha no. Come on now, we can drink and walk at the same time, can't we?" Felix just rolls his eyes and stands, waiting for the older to join him. Chan grabs his hand and starts to swing their arms as they walk. Felix doesn't protest.

•••

"Lixie.." Chan says after a while off silence.

"Hmm?" The other just hums in response.

"You like me, that much I know. But you never act like you do...I mean, I call you princess and I always try and make you feel comfortable and stuff, but if you don't like it I can-"

"No Chan it's nothing you do. I love everything you do, the pet names are amazing. I love it all, it's just...it's hard to open up. I feel as if I'd be too clingy, or I might be jealous. I don't want to weigh you down or something. So it's nothing you do, it's just my insecurities. I mean you can ask Minho hyung how I act at home. If we're being honest, I think I bore him and auntie with how much I talk about you."

"Princess, I fell in love with your snarky personality, but I'm staying with you to fall in love with the rest of you. Your Little Space, your clinginess, everything! And to be truly honest, I get wayyy more jealous than you might think. I get jealous when you hang around everyone except Jisung and Minho. I remember when we had our fight and you didn't sit at our table. I was so jealous when you were laughing and talking with Jackson, I was about to march over to your table and just claim you then and there."

"Guess that phone call saved me huh?"

"Apparently, because the next thing I know, you aren't at the table anymore. I run out to the hall to find you screaming fuck."

"Oh my god."

"Ahaha yeah...And here we are!" Chan says, sitting down at the bench at Han River.

"Tell me Chan," Felix says as he sits next to the other and looks out to the river, "When did you realize that you liked me?"

"Let me think...Ah! Remember that one dance class where I stopped dancing?"

"Yeah...Gosh that was so long ago."

"Mhm, I think it was at that moment when I blanked out, that I realized my feelings for you. What about you?"

"Hm?"

"When did you start liking me?"

"I think it was the time you and me hung out at the mall. It was at the very end when you asked if I wanted to go home. I remember being so grateful to how understanding you were. And I remember how gentle you were being, with your voice and attitude. You didn't complain about leaving at all."

"Really!?"

"Mhm."

"Thank god, I was hoping that would work."

"What do you mean?"

"I planned that whole thing, well except the going home part, so that you would fall for me."

"Guess it worked didn't it?"

"Sure did." Chan smiles and looks out to the river. He suddenly feels a weight against his shoulder, he turns and finds Felix's head laying there. Chan smiles and kisses the top of his head.

"I felt that."

"I know."

"Hah gay."

"Only for you babe." Felix just sighs and closes his eyes contently, letting the breeze brush over him, enjoying the feeling of Chan running his fingers through his hair.

•••

"Chan..."

"Yes princess."

"I-" Felix stops as he chokes up. "I really don't want to leave you. Any of you!" He turns himself to Chan's chest and grips the older's shirt tightly. Chan wraps his arms around the younger.

"Baby, I know it's hard. It's not easy leaving the people you love, it never is. But like you said, it isn't goodbye, it's a 'see you later', alright?" Felix only nods his head into Chan's shirt. "I know your're hurting, I can see it; we all can. But baby, you can talk to us, you don't have to hide. You might think it'll make things easier, but it won't..Ok? You leave tomorrow morning, that is inevitable, but you aren't leaving your friendships with us behind. We are always here for you, whether you're in Australia or not."

"I- I just don't want to burden you all." Felix says in a muffled voice.

"I know baby, but you could never burden us. Everyone has problems, we are human and we will have emotions no matter what. So don't bottle it up, alright?"

"Ok...Thank you Channie."

"Anytime princess." Chan says, once again kissing the top of Felix's head.

. . .

"Lixie?"

"Hm?"

"Uh, gosh this might literally the worst time to ask but,would uhm...be my boyfriend?"

A moment of silence. Then Felix speaks up.

"Only if you kiss me."

"I- WHAT?!" Chan panics but Felix breaks into laughter as he sits up.

"Yeah sure, but you have to kiss me first, you dork."

"I- fine." With that, Chan grabs Felix softly by the chin and brings him closer, closing his eyes along with way. Felix was about to start laughing but a pair of lips stole his chance. Chan had kissed him. And before Felix knew what was happening, it was over.

"I-"

"Lixie?"

"Oh my GOD! Wait you actually kissed me?"

"Well you said it was the only way to-"

"Dieidjwhds." Felix blushes hardly and Chan only laughs.

"What were you expecting? Boyfriend of mine..."

"Could you uhm...do it again." Felix says almost inaudibly.

"Hm? I couldn't hear you."

"Could you do it again?"

"Do what again?"

"CHAN!"

"Ahaha alright alright, come here."
