After the whole ordeal about how Minho and Jisung had broke up was gotten over with, the two of them returned to normal conversations.
It took a moment of Chan to process, and then he was sad that Minho hadn't said anything, and then he was mad at how Mr. Han had handled the situation.
Felix told him there was nothing he could do about Mr. Han but he insisted that he talk to the older gentleman. Felix made it clear that that was a terrible idea.
After they had buzzed through all of that stuff though, they started to focus on actually having fun while they hung out with one another.
Felix kept scooting closer and closer until he was basically placed in Chris' lap while the elder twisted his fingers around in his hair.
"I don't know if we should be this close." Chan whispered, but the tone in his voice made it kind of clear that he didn't actually care and was only saying it as a formality.
Felix shook his head, "There's nothing illegal about cuddling. Are you okay with me being here?" He made sure to ask just in case, because Chan seemed like he might not want to be this close.
The elder put a delicate smile on his face, "No. I'm fine just where I am." He shifted slightly as he said this to bring Felix closer to his chest with his legs swung over top of his.
Felix giggled under his breath a bit, loving all of this. He had never even had a thought about actually getting close like to with Chris, but yet here he was. He figured he would never have the opportunity of hugging him like this.
There was a comfortable silence as the two sat, neither one having anything more to say. All the words that needed to come out had already done so, and now a mindless air floated around them.
Well, that wasn't completely true. Chan had something he'd like to say, but he wasn't completely prepared. What was any time like the present though? He decided that without another thought, he'd just let the question go.
"What was coming out like?"
Felix looked up, "Like, coming out as gay?"
Chris nodded, trying to stop a nervous blush from seeping onto his cheeks.
"Well it was only last year that I even fully accepted it myself. My mom was overly supportive and it didn't even take her a while to get used to—I have a feeling she already knew. My dad was also supportive but he took a few days to get back to normal afterwards. Like he was trying to accept it." Felix was looking up as he spoke, "Over all it was about a good as that type of thing can get. Why do you ask?"
Chan swallowed hard, "Uhm, cause I haven't, y'know, told my dad yet." He didn't look down to meet Felix's eyes, scared for the judgment.
"Oh? Why not. He handled Minho coming out like, super well, you have to admit." His hands still seemed to be snaking through his hair, almost as if he knew to comfort Chris right now.
"Yeah.. I know. But unlike Minho I was the child that my dad put all of his trust and respect into. I have a feeling it would be more of a disappointment coming from me..."
"Your dad doesn't seem like the person to do that." Felix said, "Is he?"
Chan nodded, "Yeah. He's been paying a lot of attention to Minho lately, thank God mostly in a good way, but he's never been like that before. He's very.. cold. I don't think he's ever said 'I love you' to me—in fact, no praise at all. Not even when I graduated high-school with a 4.0 GPA."
Felix shifted his eyebrows together, "Oh really?"
The way Felix listened encouraged Chan to tell him more of what his childhood was like. "He was never around when I was a kid and he still isn't. He's less of a father and more like a random man that gave us food—he hired people to act as our parents."
Felix was still listening intently and Chris appreciated to have someone to speak to like this more than he thought he would.
"Me and Minho are both super afraid of the dark, and bugs. It's because our dad used to put us in the cellar in the complete dark when we did something bad. It was like, get an 80 on a test spend an hour in the cellar for every 10% that you missed. Sometimes there would be a bug that crawled on you and you could feel it, but because it was so damn dark you couldn't tell what it was. I just remembered being huddled up in the far corner at the bottom of the stairs calling out for my dad to come help me.."
There were no tears in his eyes but it didn't take a genius to tell that Chan was getting pretty emotional. Felix sat up straight in Chan's lap and turned to face him, cupping one of his cheeks lightly.
"I'm so sorry Channie.. I wish there was something I could do to take away all your pain." He lightly pushed the elders head to rest in the nape of his neck and Chris immediately started crying. He had never really felt affection from someone like this..
He was always the one to take care of others.
"I'm glad you were able to trust me enough to say that.." Felix whispered. From anyone else this would have sounded scripted, but from Felix it sounded so real.
Chan sniffled a bit and drew circles of Felix's back with his pointer finger, his arms hugging him loosely.
Felix never once stopped stroking Chan's hair in a light, calming manner.
Chan was his boyfriend now, so it was his job to make him feel better.
