A knock echoed through the still apartment; stirring Felix from the nap he was taking. He lifted his head and pushed his blankets to the side, getting up and walking towards the door with a sluggish body language. Another knock was heard and Felix groaned, fixing his hair quickly before looking through the peephole.

He unlocked the door and slowly opened the door to see a concerned Changbin. "Hey...were you taking a nap?" Changbin asks with a light chuckle. "I'm sleeping my disappointment away," Felix commented as he rolled his eyes, waving him in as he walked to the living room. Changbin smiles and enters the apartment, slipping off his shoes and setting his bag down. "Don't beat yourself up," Changbin said as he closed the door and locked it, following where Felix had walked. Felix waved his hand around and gave a deep sigh.

Changbin sat down and rubbed the male's leg. "It was supposed to be a nice day," Felix complained and he rolled over, placing his legs in Changbin's lap. "I know," Changbin said and looked at the male who covered his face with a pillow. "How are they?" Changbin asks and Felix removes his pillow to answer. "They're okay, they played with their toys while I was napping," Felix said and pushed his pillow into his face.

Changbin patted his leg and moved it, getting a whine from Felix but nothing else. The male, Changbin, gave a soft laugh before walking towards the hallway where Michi and Ryu's room was. The door was closed and it was easy to tell which room was which because of the voices coming from inside. He gave a gentle knock before opening the door and smiling at the twins.

"Mr. Binnie! You were so swag!"

Changbin laughed at Ryu who chucked his toy in hand behind him and scrambled up; running over to the adult and attacking his leg. "You were here and there and-" Ryu could barely finish his sentence as he detached himself and started "recreating" the fight scene he witnessed. Michi, who could care less about his crazy brother, walked over and tugged the male's sweatpants. "What is it?" Changbin asked with a gentle tone as he squatted down. "Is papa okay?" Michi asked and Changbin smiled. "Yeah, he's just tired," Changbin explained and watched as Michi's eyebrows furrowed. "But...papa was being mean to himself," Michi said and Changbin's eyebrows mimicked Michi's. "Okay, you two stay in here while I go talk to him," Changbin said and ruffled his hair, looking at Ryu who was being weird.

Changbin stood up and left the room, Michi giving a wave as he closed the door for privacy. He looked towards where Felix was and chuckled at the lack of movement. "Don't laugh at me asshole," Felix said as he sat up, throwing the pillow at Changbin who caught it. "You looked like a starfish," Changbin commented and Felix rolled his eyes. "Come here," Felix said as he crossed his legs, watching the male who followed the order and sat down.

Changbin sat down and the two held eye contact. "The twins are worried about you," Changbin said and Felix hums. "I know," he spoke and ruffled his hair, "I could hear them open my door every couple of minutes to check on me." Changbin smiles at his sentence and pulls Felix close, the male giggling and closing his eyes. "This is nice," Changbin said and Felix snorted. "Why? You don't get to relax?"

Changbin shook his head and let out a sigh, Felix quickly looked at him. "Is it that crazy here?" Felix asks and Changbin hummed. "It's been fine though, weird enough," Changbin said and Felix smiles at the change. "Good, I don't need to fear for the twins' safety every second," Felix said and pushed a bit away to look at him. "You changed a lot," Felix said as his hands cupped the male's face.

Changbin raised a brow in question and Felix smiled. "Your face is chubby," Felix said and squished his face, snickering at the disappointed look on his face. "What! You expect me to not notice the chubby cheeks?" Felix said and cooed as he pinched the male's cheek. "Fuck off," Changbin said and took Felix's hands off his face, and smiled at the laughing adult. Felix calmed down after a few moments and smiled at the male. "You look at me weird," Felix commented and watched the male snap out of his zone. "Mhm?" Changbin asks and Felix shakes his head. "Nothing."

Changbin was about to change to another subject when the twins' voices caught the adults' attention. "Papa! My tummy went grumble grumble!" Michi shouted as he skipped into the area where his parent and Changbin were located. "Well, what do you want?" Felix asks as he gets up, his hands leaving Changbin's as he ran over to his son and picked him up. Michi's laughs made Changbin smile as he watched Felix kiss every inch of the toddler's face. Changbin found himself pulling out his phone and recording the action with a big smile on his face.

He stopped the video after a few moments and set his phone down, listening to Michi who explained what he wanted for dinner. "You just want me to order stuff, huh?" Felix asks with a gentle laugh left from him. "Yeah! That place was nummy," Michi said and Changbin looked over as Felix placed the toddler down. "Okay, go get what your brother wants," Felix said and Michi nodded his head, leaving the area to go interview his brother.

Felix walked over to the living room and grabbed his phone to get the restaurant website open. "Do you know Thunderous restaurant?" Felix asks as he eyes Changbin who hums. "Yeah, it was your favorite restaurant," Changbin remembered and Felix blinked quickly at the memory. He smiled and got Changbin's order along with both of the twins when Michi reported back to him. "It's going to take a few minutes, so go back to playing with your toys," Felix said and Michi nodded his head, squeezing his parent's leg before scurrying off.

"He looks like you a lot," Changbin said as Felix placed his phone down walked a few inches to the couch, and sat down. "He's a four-year-old," Felix said and found it weird that he was calling them a year older than they were a day ago. "Mhm, so what?" Changbin said and Felix rolled his eyes. "Whatever, you're going to pick up the food and ice cream, they don't like cake," Felix said as he grabbed a blanket that he had folded on the arm of the couch. "They're weird," Changbin said and Felix nodded his head. "I know, they're your kids," Felix commented and laughed at the offending gasps from the male he was leaning against. "I hope they're not asses like you," Changbin said and pinched Felix's side who punched him.
