felixs pov;

i push my shopping cart, looking down its filled with things such as fruit and bread. i push past and grab the chocolate spread, something to fill the sandwiches. me and chan are going on our second date today, right now it's twelve me and the older australian are meeting at half one.

i get to the self checkout and scan my items, quietly wincing at the price, it may not be much but money is money. i pack it all into my bag and make my way back home, glancing at a flower shop. i wonder into the shop, a place i come often.

i grab the paper wrapping of a handful of colourful tulips, along with a few wild flowers. i turn to the register and give the last of my cash to the woman. giving a quick speed walk to my apartment. i start making our lunch, once everything is opened i notice a phone call coming in. "hey lix "

"hm, oh hi chan " i put the man on loud speaker and open the packet of bread, along with grabbing a butter knife to start making the sandwiches. "anyway reason for you to call or just did "

i hear a small laugh on the other end of the call "just missed your voice " i smile as i finish making six sandwiches, reaching over to get a large heart shaped cookie cutter to make the sandwiches fun.

"you're so silly chris, im seeing you in just under an hour " i say as i check the time. "but that's sweet of you " i move the sandwiches away from me and get a cutting knife for the fruit.

"that and im not sure what to wear " i start laughing at him, cutting the apples into slices. "hey stop laughing i wanna match the environment "  i move to get tubs out to hold the fruits.

"im planning on a jumper and jeans if that helps " i hear a groan on the other end. i put the apple slices into a tub and follow up with filling the rest of the space with grapes. "if it helps i baked cookies for our date "

i point out as i wrap the freshly baked cookies into cloth then tying it, doing the same to the sandwiches. "that doesn't help at all, i'll just do jeans and tee " i hum in response. "well then lixie im going to shower, change then make my way to you "

"ok, bye chan " i pick up the phone "see you in like thirty minutes " i make kissing sounds ro the mic then hang up. i go to my room and change into my outfit of the day. i smile at the layout of my outfit i did before leaving to shop.

i take my hoodie off and replace it with a lavender knit jumper. following up with baggy light denim jeans. i notice a message from chan saying he's leaving now. i brush my hair out, looking at the length of my mullet.

to keep my hair in place i grab a matching knitwear bandana to my jumper and tie it into my hair, the excess fabric following my hair down. i check my phone yet again before putting it in my pocket moving back to the kitchen, getting a rarely used item. my picnic basket.

quickly packing the fruit, cookies and sandwiches along with a few canned drinks and the flowers for chan. i make my way to my door, as i do a message from chan pops up explaining he's arrived. i put my white shoes on and leave, locking my front door behind me.

getting to the front of my building i spot chan where he usually parks. i walk towards him, keeping my footsteps quiet. "hey chan " i notice him flinch, nearly dropping his phone on the floor. he turns to me with a glare, though it washes away at sight of me.

"hey lixie " he puts his phone into his pocket and drag me into a hug. "what's the plan today " as he asks the question i take a look at his outfit. it's not very out of the ordinary just a black hoodie and dark denim cargos.

"picnic " i exclaim while showing the basket. he locks up his motorcycle and holds out his arm for me to hold onto. i use my free hand to link arms and hold onto his muscular bicep. we enter the park we first met at, i notice chan cringe.

"im really sorry about the day we met, i was really fucking hungover " i laugh at chans honesty, his ears becoming a deep shade of red. we keep walking to a more secluded part of the park, trees hanging lower and grass growing longer.

we have to physically move away some branches but we get to a spot by the river side, the sun lighting up the water in a way to produce a sparkling effect while the trees block us from the blinding light.

i open up the picnic basket and pull out a picnic blanket, a matching lavender to my outfit with a white cross over design. i roll it out and use my shoes to hold down each end, chan helping and doing the same. "so lixie, what did you bring ?"

i sit down next to the older australian, as he sat crossed legged i rest my legs over him. my knees bending up to stay comfortable. "i brought heart shaped sandwiches, fruit, fresh cookies and some drinks " i list as i pull them out, i smile at the final item in the basket. "and these for you "

i hand him the small bouquet of flowers, too flustered to look at his reaction. without hesitation he pulls me into a kiss, the kiss itself didn't last long but put the message across. "nobody has ever bought me flowers before, i love them "

i give him another kiss before unwrapping the sandwiches. while eating the heart shaped sandwiches we share small kisses, not too many but each filled with love. "what did you have to do earlier ?" i asked, referencing the fact chan was busy this morning.

he finishes the last sandwich before talking. "the person i deal for wants me to sell more than weed, he offered alot of money but its a much higher chance i would get caught " he cracks open one of the canned drinks. "i said no but i think one of my roommates agreed to do it "

"that sort of thing sounds scary " i lean my head onto his shoulder. he presses his head against mine, as he does i lean over to get the container of fruits.

"an idol company i make beats for asked for a whole album worth of instrumentals and even lyrics, they offered alot of money for it " i hear the joy in chans voice over the much more normal job description. "i haven't told my roommates about the deal, they usually assist with producing but they've been burnt out lately "

chan falls back onto the picnic blanket, pulling me down with him my head against his chest, the food still in reaching distant. his hand playing with my hair. "i think if im not successful by thirty i will go find a nine to five or work in fast food " i notice the change of tone of chans voice.

"there's three years, you never know what will happen " he hums in response. i turn in his hold so my chest is against his, i hold a grape infront of his mouth. "hopefully i'll be here for at least those three years preferably longer "

i notice chans eyes water for a slight second. "how about you " he asks after eating the offered grape. "you've heard some upsetting news about me, i want to know the felix lore " i laugh at his use of terms, he's mentioned in the past how he tries to act a little younger around me.

"i don't think ive ever met my mother, she left pretty early in my life so its always been just me and my dad " i feel chan rub my back. "we came to korea, he was the only family i had and well on my sixteenth birthday he got really sick by the time i was eighteen he passed away "

"you don't have to continue if you don't want to " i sit up, moving to sit next to where chan is laying down. i take a sip of my drink before shaking my head, ready to continue.

"he passed a week after my second ever shoot, he was in the studio with me during that shoot. he told me he was proud of me and how much he loved me, that night he was transported into hospital " chan sits up and pulls me into a hug.

"you're so strong felix " he gives me a soft kiss on the head. eventually after sharing my freshly baked cookies i ask chan about his family. "not much, they were always loving but when i started to do music they started to get less carefree and then i came out as gay to them, i ended up getting kicked out that night so i moved to korea and met my roommates "

we ended up getting closer after our trauma dumping.
