When the Leaves Fall [bxp] ✔

16

Hi everyone, it's been a while and I'm sorry about that- schools just been very busy with a lot of projects and stuff. I'll probably be busy for a little while since I have my AP test coming up this Monday, but hopefully I'll update more consistently than this! On the plus side I made Aeron's Birthday playlist, I forgot to mention it on the last update but here it is!

Music is the answer

"We're getting food right?" Wren asked, glancing at the others.

    "Yeah I think so," nodded Aeron, blinking slowly.

    "Wait where are we going?" Tarla said, looking up from her phone.

    "That's- exactly what we haven't decided," Felix laughed, wincing.

    "Why is it," Quinn started slowly, "that whenever we have to decide where to eat," she paused, "that we never know. But when we already have a place planned, suddenly everyone has ideas?" Jupiter chuckled quietly next to Felix, and he grinned widely turning to look at them. The wisp of a smile stayed on their face, making Felix's heart warm.

They'd eventually responded to his message, but something had clearly been off. And ever since they'd showed up, this was the first time they'd laughed. Felix could tell that they had something going on, but they didn't seem like they wanted to talk about it. If they ever wanted to talk about it, Felix knew they'd come to him, but they didn't seem like they did. But they laughed! So hopefully that meant they were feeling at least a little better!

"We could go to that place that we were planning to go to for-" Wren started before Tarla cut him off.

"It's closed on Sundays."

"Umm I know this one café that has some really good food," Nils said softly. "It's right by the Target on the way to school from Aeron's house?"

"Oh I've heard of that place!" Tarla beamed, pushing her hair behind her eyes. "I haven't been but so many people have said it's really good!"

"If it's by Target it's not that far as well!"

"Thank you Nils," Wren exaggerated, grinning. "I believe in Nils supremacy."

"All I did was-"

"Decided where to eat- the hardest task to ever exist," Tarla finished for him, almost making Aeron smile.

"Anyway not that we've decided Nils is superior, how are we getting there?" Felix laughed, pretending not to see Aeron slip their hand into Nils'.

"So the two cars are Felix's and Aeron's? So Felix and Jupiter and me? And the four of you in the other car?" Tarla asked, glancing at everyone. "If everyone's good with that?"

Everyone nodded, moving towards the cars. Tarla opened the door to the backseat, pulling out her headphones. Felix grinned, getting into the driver's seat while Jupiter took the passenger seat.

"Wanna choose the music," he asked, holding up the aux cord. They nodded, plugging in their phone. Felix heard the soothing sound of Alec Benjamin's voice come through the speakers, and he grinned. "Is this the playlist that you told me to add songs to?"

"Not exactly, I added some of the songs from there to this other playlist," they said softly. Felix beamed, his heart jumping in his chest. They liked his music taste? Music was definitely Felix's love language, and the fact that they not only listened to his recs but also added it to another playlist?

"Ya know, you got a lot of my recs, but I still haven't gotten any recs from you. The only ones I've gotten are all from Aeron's birthday playlist," Felix mused, glancing at them, and turning to look back at the road.
