Sides, a Chanlix Story

Chapter 29

Felix was stressed. He was about to spend an entire week with his crush, who was straight, and his friend, and who he had just kissed on the cheek. How was this supposed to work? He let out a breath.

“I guess I should pack, huh?” He stood up and walked over to his closet pulling the doors open.

“What should I even pack? Obviously we need clothes for school.” He spoke thoughtfully to himself pulling out the correct number of outfits. “And then clothes for after school. But what kind of clothes? Are we staying at home or going places? 'Cause I wear different things for those... Eh, I'll just pack going out clothes and just wear those even if we're staying in. Or maybe Chan would let me borrow- Nope, friend. Friend. Not crush, not boyfriend. Friend.” He sighed, this was going to be a long week.

But thinking on the bright side, maybe they'd figure out what was going on between them. There was this tension that Felix couldn't place. At times it felt like Chan liked him back, but at other times it felt like he was, like he said, straight and was just a friend. But why did he kiss me? Felix thought. And why indeed. Little did he know, Chan was thinking the same thing.

“Gosh, I'm such an idiot...” Chan sighed. “What if I asked Victoria? No, she'd make fun of me. Mm, who else do I know. I could ask some of the guys from Got7, but they'd just laugh because they've been telling me for years that they don't think I'm straight. Who else would know this kind of stuff?” He groaned.

“Ugh, and do we stay here or go places? I have no idea, I've never had a friend over for more than a day or night.” He sat up and picked his laptop up from his bedside table. “Well, just to be safe... Maybe I'll look up a couple things in the area we could do...” He spent the entire rest of the afternoon looking up things to do.

The next morning Chan's Dad left early before he even woke up. Victoria spent the morning rushing around the house and packing last minute. Chan was in his room this whole time having a slight mental breakdown about how he was supposed to act or what he was supposed to do with Felix there.

At around 11:30 a knock sounded on his door. He got off of his bed and opened it. Victoria was standing there, she waved slightly.

“Can I come in?” She asked. Chan nodded and stepped aside to let her in. She looked around his room and whistled. “Haven't been in here for a while, I like what you've done with it.”

“Thanks.” Chan grunted. “What's up? Do you need something?”

“No, I just wanted to come in and say that Amy's going to be here in about fifteen minutes to pick me up.” Victoria answered, looking at one of the posters on his wall. “Ryan Reynolds, huh? When is Felix getting here?”

“I don't know. He just said tonight. I figured he comes when he comes. And Ryan Reynolds is my husband, don't come for him.” Chan shrugged. Victoria raised an eyebrow at him.

“Okay.” She said a slight smirk on her face. Then her phone buzzed. She pulled it out to check the notification.

“Oh, Amy's here early. I gotta go. Have fun with Felix and don't be too irresponsible.”

Chan scoffed. “Me? Irresponsible? Please, I'm going to be keeping Felix in check for the next week. Have fun on your trip, too. Don't be too irresponsible.” He teased. Victoria shot him a mock glare, then blew him a kiss.

“Bye bye!” She said. Chan dodged the kiss and waved back.

He watched through his window as his sister ran to her friend's car with two suitcases and a backpack. She shoved the bags in the back then ran to get in the front seat. As they drove away she waved at him, he smiled at her, then shut his curtains.

“I need to clean.” He muttered looking around his room. The next few hours were packed with frantic cleaning. He was on panic mode and ended up doing essentially everything he could do. He only stopped when he got a text from Felix saying that he'd be there soon. He replied quickly, ordered pizza, and went to shower off.

He had just finished showering when the doorbell rang.

“Must be the pizza.” he said to himself. He threw a pair of sweatpants on and took his towel with him to finish drying his hair.

Felix stood at the door of Chan's house. He had just seen a car pull out, and he figured it was either Chan's dad or sister leaving. He had just rung the doorbell and was now looking around the neighborhood. Chan had a tree in the front yard that looked perfect for climbing and Felix had watched him climb the trellis on the side of his house too when he went with Chan to his house when they met in the “secret place”. He chuckled remembering how panicked Chan was when he almost told his parents he was there too. Then the door opened and he heard Chan's voice.

“Hi, how much do I owe you?”

“What?” Felix turned to face the door again and his mouth went dry.

Chan was standing there in sweatpants with a towel hanging around his neck digging in his wallet. His hair was wet and there were water droplets on his torso like glimmering diamonds in the street lamps light. Felix gulped as his eyes traveled down the older boy's torso, drinking in the sight of him shirtless and sparkling from what was probably a shower. Then Chan looked up. His eyes widened and he quickly crossed his arms over his chest.

“Felix! Hi! Um... I thought you were the pizza delivery person.” Chan stammered out, keeping his arms tightly crossed. The glamor was gone in that moment. Felix crossed his arms as well a teasing smile crossing his face.

“So, you normally answer the door for deliveries shirtless?” He asked looking Chan up and down. Chan smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his neck.

“No?” He said. Then a delivery car pulled into the driveway. A girl climbed out of the car and started walking up to the house, reading the receipt.

“Pizza delivery for a, Chaaaaaan...” Her voice trailed off as she took in the sight in front of her. Not one, but two very attractive guys stood in front of her and one of them looked like he had just finished taking a shower. Felix smiled at her then turned to glare at Chan.

“Well Chan, you gonna pay?” He asked, tilting his head. Chan rolled his eyes and then counted out a couple bills. He held them out to the girl who handed him the pizza wordlessly.

“Wait, this is too much-” She started.

“Keep the change as an apology for all of this.” Chan replied as he smiled an embarrassed smile. The delivery girl nodded. And Felix smiled at her again.

“Have a nice night!” He called after her as she went into her car.

“Thanks, you too!” She responded. Then she drove off.

“Well, that was interesting.” Felix turned to Chan. “You gonna let me in or what?” Chan nodded and stepped aside to let Felix walk in pulling his suitcase behind him.

“Let me go grab a shirt.” He muttered quietly.

“If you want to.” Felix shrugged. Chan froze and turned back toward him.

“What?” He asked, confusion laced in his tone.

“If you want to.” Felix rolled his eyes. “It's your house, don't let me being here stop you if you normally walk around shirtless.”

“T-that's okay.” Chan replied hesitantly before running up the stairs to get a shirt. Felix chuckled at that and began to look around.

A few seconds later, Chan walked back down the stairs now clad in an oversized white t shirt as well as his sweatpants. He cleared his throat and Felix looked toward him.

“Pizza?”

A/N: Was part of this chapter just me thirsting after Chan? Yes. Don't judge me. But we're seeing how differently Chan acts with other people versus Felix. Hmmm... What do you think is going to happen in this week? I'm curious. So if you're comfortable, leave a comment and guess what's going to happen... I guess we'll see! 👀 Signing out, Blueberrt Muffun :) <3
