Zuppa del Diavolo[✔️]

Cinque

Weeks had passed and Felix's friendship with his neighbors and Jeongin had grown. He didn't get to spend much time with Jeongin as he did have a job, but Felix would try his best to visit him during his breaks and so on. Jisung would come over daily to hang out or take Felix places to see if he liked anything.

Currently, Jisung had just left since he was having a lunch date with Minho. Felix's stomach rumbled which snapped him out of his thoughts. He debated for a bit before deciding he was going to eat the food he was going to make instead of ordering food. He got up from his bed after closing his laptop and walking towards his kitchen.

He looked through the cookbooks he had and huffs. He didn't feel like making anything big for lunch, so he decided on a sandwich. He pushed the cookbooks back into their places before going through his cabinets to find his bread.

After making the food, he walked towards his balcony. He opened the door and stepped out, closing it behind him so no flies would get inside. It was nice outside with a small chilly breeze, but Felix didn't mind. He walked over to the chairs he had put out there and sat on the farthest one. He brought his feet up into the chair and stared at the city view as he calmly ate his sandwich.

Time passed after he finished his sandwich.

He opened his balcony door and entered his apartment, closing the door with his butt before walking over to the kitchen and cleaning it up. He took a glance at the time and figured he should attempt a new hobby. He walked over to his room and opened his closet, getting onto his knees and pushing things to the side before he found what he was looking for; paint.

He grabbed the bucket of paint and pulled it out, landing on his butt in the process. He ignored the new position and opened the bucket to only frown at the lack of colors. He closed it and stood up with the object in his hand. He set it on his bed and opened it again, grabbing his phone to write down supplies he needed; more paint, some paintbrushes, and a canvas which was going to be small for the time being. He double-checked the list before nodding his head.

Felix did a quick check of the weather before deciding that his current clothes were fine; sweatpants and a sweatshirt. He grabbed a simple pair of socks and put them on before walking to the front door. He put on his shoes and grabbed his wallet and keys that were in a basket.

Getting the supplies was fast and simple as the craft store wasn't far. He got home around 15 minutes later and instantly started his project after changing into clothes he didn't mind getting messy. He grabbed wax paper in a cabinet and laid a large piece across his table to protect it while painting. He fixed his hair as he sat down, crossing his legs in the hair and adjusting himself.

He picked up the paints he was going to use and brought the pallet over, squirting the paint onto it. He grabbed the paintbrush he was going to use and froze. He placed it down and stood up, walking over to his kitchen to grab a cup he wasn't going to use ever. He filled it with water before walking back over to the table to start the painting.

Felix enjoyed painting a lot, especially when he was home in Italy. He loved the scene in his home city especially with the colors and agriculture that he was surrounded by. His favorite place to paint and a scene to paint was the cove his grandma and mother would always take him to when he was with them.

The water in the cove was always crystal clear and it was easy to spot the fish, occasionally baby sharks too. The rocks were fun to hop from and Felix remembered when he was little and slipped on one, getting a large gash on his knee which he got scolded by his mom from.

Felix allowed his mind to control his painting and as he looked at what he was doing, he noticed it was the cove he was thinking about. It was from a third person's point of view from what it looked like, but he hadn't painted enough to figure it out.

Felix had stopped after some time to take a break and eat dinner. He was halfway finished with the painting but still needed to add the silhouettes of him and the two adults he had lived with, and a few other small details as well.

He finished making the food he was going to eat and hopped onto his table to eat it there instead of going to the living room. He blew softly on the hot food before putting it in his mouth; chewing and swallowing before repeating the steps until he finished his food. He carefully slipped off the counter and did a quick wash and dry of the bowl before placing it in the drying rack.

Felix took a look at the time as he rubbed his eyes, feeling the drowsiness wash over him. He yawned and stretched upwards, grabbing the paint pallet he was using and washing it off for the next day. He placed it on a towel before leaving the kitchen for the night, turning the lights off as he did so.

He walked to his bedroom and grabbed a change of clothes; shorts and a sweater. He walked to the bathroom and turned on the lights, walking a few inches and closing the door with his hip. He placed his clothes down on the space on the counter and grabbed a towel from the cupboard, putting it on the hook that was next to the shower.

He turned on the water and waited for it to heat up before undressing himself and stepping into the shower; closing the curtain and instantly standing under the water to warm his semi-cold body up.

Felix finished his shower after some time and got dressed after drying off and turning off the water. He washed his face before leaving the room to lay down. He got under his covers and let out a content sigh as he relaxed into the mattress.

A sudden thought popped into his head and he rolled onto his side to grab his phone, propping himself up on his elbow. "School starts in," Felix mumbles and opens the calendar to look at how much longer he has, "4 weeks." He smiles and places his phone down, plugging it in and turning onto his side to forget about it.

He stared at the city lights through his window as he kept a steady breathing pattern; inhale for 5 seconds and exhale for 4. It didn't take him long for his body to fall limp and his eyes to flutter shut, his mind opening a world of wonders to keep him in his slumber.
