This is without smut - only fluff and angst
Ship: Bang Chan and Felix from stray kids
It's a high school AU
Enjoy!
* * * *

Felix sat on the toilet lid, his small body shaking and his cheeks wet. He had come to school today and had found his locker covered in spray paint. The red words 'faggot' were still burned into his mind. He tasted the tear's salt and tried to calm his desperate sobbing into a quiet wince. Class started in ten minutes but he couldn't go there with his red eyes and wet cheeks. But he knew, he had to leave the boys toilets soon and he needed to explain his parents why he didn't went to class and then they would find out about the bullying. Another sob escaped his lips. He didn't want his parents to find out, he didn't want them to worry about him. They had enough shit to care about.
"Hello? Is anybody in there?", a soft voice asked and Felix heard the door slam. Immediately, he tried to keep his sobs back and be quiet - he didn't want anyone to find him in this condition. It would only be one more reason for them to pick on him.
"Hey, I know you're there...is everything okay?", he heard the voice asking softly. "I heard you sobbing...Please open the door. I won't tell anyone, I promise!"
Felix hands were on the lock, but he hesitated to open the door. This could still be some shitty prank. He tried to breathe calmly and asked with a quiet voice: "Who are you?"
The answer came immediately and with a still worried undertone. "My name's Chan. I'm eighteen by now."

Felix hands had almost stopped shaking as he opened the door. "I'm Felix. Seventeen.", he whispered with a hoarse voice.
"So Felix, do you want to talk about what happened?", Chan asked softly. "You can be honest with me." The younger shook his head. He just wanted someone to cuddle but he couldn't say that. The brown-haired was a complete stranger. Otherwise, he was here now, other than his family or his only friend Seungmin.
And he seemed to understand. Felix looked up into these dark eyes and asked quietly: "Do you mind if I hug you?"
Chan smiled brightly and pulled the smaller into a big hug. Felix hugged back and they stood there for minutes, both blushing slightly. "Thank you.", Felix said. It was at this moment when he realized that he's accidentally spoken English the whole time. His eyes widened and he continued to stutter in uncluttered Korean: "Uh-oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to speak English.", he apologized. Chan smiled again and answered the younger in English: "It's no problem, I've grown up in Australia until I moved here so I am fluent."
Felix eyes widened again and he answered with a small smile: "Hey, I'm from Australia too!"

Both couldn't contain their smiles and hugged each other again. Felix felt his heart beating in his chest and heard the blood running in his ears. He couldn't believe he just found another Aussie - here in Korea. And a good-looking too who could possibly help him with Korean.
Chan was indeed good looking; he had light brown hair and a warm smile. Still, he looked really manly, Felix could clearly see the veins on his muscular arms and his neck as well as his Adam's apple and his sharp jawline.
Damn, he thought. I wouldn't mind him being my boyfriend.

Chan looked at the younger as well, admiring his Beautiful freckles and the orange-ish hair. He also got really caught up with the others voice that didn't fit to his looks at all - but still had a nice and sexy ring with it. What happened to him? Why was such a beautiful boy sitting in the boys toilets during first lesson and crying?
"Felix - do you mind telling me what happened? You can really trust me.", he said and looked into the youngers soft gaze.
"Uh...well there are a bunch of guys who do call me names sometimes - nothing bad really, but they spray painted my locker today.", the smaller answered embarrassedly.
Chan felt anger growling inside him - how could anyone ever hurt this little cinnamon roll in front of him?
"Can I see it?", he asked and Felix nodded quietly, leading him out of the toilets.
Chan's eyes widened as he saw what they did. The blue locker was covered into the big red letters of faggot and a red dick next to it. "Omygod, Felix, this isn't some simply name calling - that's serious! You need to tell the principal!"

Sudden fear showed in Felix's eyes and he shook his head frequently. "Please, don't! They'd only pick on me more! They'd fall me a weak coward especially since they already think I'm girly and weak since I'm g-nothing." The younger stopped before he could tell Chan about that. Honestly, he was surprised that the latter didn't know about that but he preferred it this way. He wouldn't be telling anyone about that this easily after what happened with Johnny.
Chan looked at the smaller with a worried gaze. "Wait, does the whole school know?" Felix looked at him confusedly. "About what?" Panic grew inside him - did Chan know already? And how-
Chan pulled him into another warm hug. "Being gay is nothing to be ashamed of, Felix. Even though your classmates tell you otherwise, you're very brave standing up against them." Felix smiled as he hugged the latter. While breathing, he realized how good Chan smelled. It was not only his cologne but also something else - a kind of calming scent. "Thanks a lot.", Felix smiled.

Chan broke the hug, but kept close to the younger. His dark eyes met Felix' and his big hands cupped the flushed cheeks, covered in freckles.
He looked down onto the smaller's face, his breath meeting the latters lips. Felix looked up to him with fluttering eyes, not able to believe what just happened. Was Chan about to kiss him? He didn't break the moment though, couldn't escape the elders eyes that had captured him and his attention. Felix breathed the tensed hot air, that has been in Chan's lungs before and looked up into the elders eyes, noticing his long lashes. His ganze went down onto the elders full lips, curved into a soft smile. He couldn't stop his mind imagining things that could be. In his mind, he saw Chan lowering his head and kissing him passionately, he imagined the latter towering over him, kissing his neck and his chin.
Felix head was bright red by now and Chan oddly enjoyed the mess he made. He smiled at the younger as he pulled back and said: "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your personal space."

Felix looked at the latter with big eyes and still flushed cheeks. He had hoped and even expected the kiss, but the elder just pulled back and gained distance again. "Quit messing with me!", Felix whined and turned to take his backpack.
The next thing he felt were Chan's lips on his. He gasped surprisedly but replied the kiss quickly yet softly. He didn't imagine Chan's lips to be that gentle and loving. He felt like exploding, he felt his heart draw together of his excitement (like it did when he looked at pictures of little kittens).
Chan's lips moved slowly against his and he felt the elder smile before he pulled away slowly. Chan blushed slightly.

"Well, turns out I'm not that straight either.", he smiled. "Felix, I'd really like to get to know you better. Would you like to go on a date with me sometime?" The smaller figure blushed extremely while nodding hastily. "I'd love to, Chan.", he stuttered. The latter took Felix' hand in his big one and walked with him down the hallway. "Please tell me, if the bullying gets worse. I will try to protect you." Felix smiled shyly and nodded. "Will do. You don't have to protect me though."
"But I want to. I want to get to know you better, I want to know every perk and every mistake you made as well as everything that makes you happy.", Chan stated. Felix' blush grew immensely and he intentionally hugged the elder. "Thank you so much."
