"You were what! Going to start teasing me again and embarrassing me!?"

"They're jokes, Changbin! Get a sense of humor."

Changbin didn't like the eye roll that came from Jeongin. Chan was shocked by the shouting and had to cover the ears of the one-year-old he was holding. All the other kids were staring in shock and horror, especially Michi and Ryu who were close to tears.

"I know what jokes are and that's not what you do," Changbin said and Felix wanted to interfere, but angry Changbin was terrifying; more terrifying with the clouded eye he had. "I'm just being a friend! You've never been that nice to me ever since-"

"Don't go there."

"Or what! You're going to yell at me and almost punch me as you did in high school!? If Chan wasn't there-"

"Both of you stop yelling!"

Changbin looked at Felix who was holding a crying Michi and Ryu was covering his ears. "Get out, now! Jeongin, don't even come here tomorrow," Felix said and glared harshly at Jeongin. Changbin had already left the room prior to Felix's announcement.

Everyone quickly left and Felix quickly walked Michi and Ryu to their room. "M-Mommy-"

"Not now, Michi," Felix said as he placed him down. "I'll be back in a little bit, stay here." They nodded their heads and Felix left the room, closing the door behind him. He walked into the shared room with Changbin and glared at him.

"Don't you fucking ever yell again with the kids around," Felix said as he walked over to Changbin and grabbed his chin. "You scared the absolute shit out of them, and it brings back every fucking memory of being out in that shit place." Changbin looked at Felix who was fuming along with tears in his eyes. "You could've talked nice to Jeongin, but you had to raise your voice. You're going to find Jeongin tomorrow and fucking apologies, I don't care what shit you two have now, I'm not fucking dealing with it."

Changbin could tell there was something else that was causing the tears, and it wasn't Michi and Ryu being scared shitless. Felix huffs and removes his hand. He walked to the bathroom and slammed the door, Changbin jumping at the noise. Changbin stood for a few seconds before leaving the room to give Felix space. He slowly opened the door to see Michi and Ryu quietly sitting on the bed. Changbin walked over and Michi looked at him.

"Meanie!"

Changbin sighs and slowly sits down, wincing when Michi punches his arm. "Y-You made mommy cry! Mommy was going to cry!" Michi said and punched his arm again, starting to cry now as well. "I'm sorry, Chi," Changbin said as he grabbed Michi's hand gently and kissed the top of his head, Michi stopping and looking up at him. "I didn't mean to raise my voice, but Jeongin--" Michi interrupted him to correct him, "--right, Uncle Fox, has done some things in the past that makes me mad and it was my last straw," Changbin explained and both of the toddler's looked at each other than at Changbin who had a small smile. "Oh," Michi and Ryu said at the same time. "Do you two forgive me?" Changbin asked and chuckled when Michi and Ryu hugged him tightly. "Yes," Ryu mumbles, and Changbin smiles. "It's bedtime, do you two want to take a bath?" Changbin asked and they shook their heads. "We can go to bed," Michi said as he detached himself from Changbin with Ryu following. "Alright," Changbin said and tucked them in, kissing their foreheads. "Can mommy come give us kisses too?" Michi asks before Changbin starts leaving. "If mommy doesn't kill me when I go back to that room," Changbin said as he opened the door, "yes."

Michi and Ryu smiled and watched Changbin leave and close the door. He walked back into the room and noticed that Felix was still in the bathroom. He walked over to the door and knocked softly. "What the hell do you want, Changbin," Felix asked from the other side. "Can we talk?" Changbin asked and he heard the lock on the door click. He opened the door and poked his head in, seeing Felix sitting on the bathtub with his face in his hands. Changbin closed the door after entering and sat next to Felix. "How bad did my yelling bring memories back?" Changbin asks. "Every single one of them," Felix said as he glanced at Changbin. "I'm sorry," Changbin said with a sigh, looking at the bathmat, "I just...knew what Jeongin was going to say or I had a small idea of what he was going to say."

Felix looked at him. "Who caused you to have trauma," Changbin said as he looked at him. "W-What?" Felix asks. "You said you had trauma and I'm assuming yelling is linked to it," Changbin clarified, and Felix sighs. "Oh..." He said and Changbin scooted closer, gently kissing his cheek and placing a hand on his leg. "My dad did," Felix said as he leaned into Changbin, "my mom and him would always get into arguments about the little things. They were small arguments, but then they started escalating. They went from, you didn't take out the trash, to something about work for him. He was an engineer and he liked working, but he never spent time with us." Changbin frowned and rubbed his leg. "He also started to get abusive. Like so bad that he put my mom in the hospital and that my little sister ran away," Felix said and lifted his hand to wipe the tears that were starting to fall. "H-He didn't do anything to me at first, but when my mom was still in the hospital after a week, he started yelling at me for the smallest of things and then made me think that every small thing I did had a massive impact on everything in the family."

Changbin brought the male more into his side and wrapped his arms around his waist, Felix accepting the affection and hugging back as he started sobbing. Changbin rubbed his back comfortingly and kissed his head. "I'm sorry, I really am," Changbin said as he felt guilt wash over him. Felix tightened his arms around him and gently kissed the side of his neck. "Y-You're okay," Felix said and looked at Changbin who looked at him. "Are you sure? If your dad is still alive, I'll beat the shit out of him for you," Changbin said and Felix laughed, kissing him which made Changbin smile. "I don't even know if he's alive," Felix said as he pulled away, "as soon as the robots went haywire, I left my house."

Changbin hummed and rubbed his waist. "Wait...what about your mom?" Changbin asks. "She's alive, I just don't know where she is," Felix said, "the last time I was in contact with her was....the beginning of this and then I lost connection with her." Changbin nodded his wiped Felix's tears. "Bedtime?" Changbin asked and Felix shook his head. "I'm taking a shower, you can go to bed."

A smirk came onto Changbin's lips. "I need to take one too," He said and winced when Felix flicked his forehead. "I called it first."
