The Love We Lost~||Hyunlixꨄ||

Bᴀʙʏ sᴛᴇᴘs~♡

Felix's eyes opened for the fourth time, this time, it being 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He woke up once at, 12:23, another time at 10:30, and the first one being at 9 o'clock. All the boy did was sleep, which caused major headaches.

He sat up, and turned to reach over to his nightstand. When he located his pain relief, he shook the bottle noticing how he only had a few left, maybe two or three. He opened it, grabbed a nearby old water bottle, and then took whatever was left.

After that, he took a long needed stretch and removed his covers. As much as he didn't want to, he needed to get up and start getting ready. Though, he didn't know where to start. He hadn't gone out in so long he doubted that he owned any presentable clothes.

There was a light knock on the door, Felix yawned and scratched the back of his head. He wasn't at all sure who could be at his place at this hour. He never had any visitors. When he opened the door, he stared blankly at Seungmin, but also his sister, who was grinning from ear to ear.

"..What are you doing here?" Felix questioned, not moving from his doorway.

"I was invited to go out with a friend and met Seungmin while picking out a new outfit.. anyways we shopped for you!"

"Shopped.. for me?" He asked pointing at himself to clarify. "Yes yes!" Olivia exclaimed, pushing her way past her brother into his apartment. "You're going out tonight and I already know you have absolutely jack shit to wear.. so here I am," she said holding her arms in the air, presenting herself. Seungmin followed after, closing the door behind him, and shooting Felix an apologetic smile. It was obvious he had no control over this event.

Felix sighed, and flopped on the couch, "okay, just show me what you bought, and make it quick." Olivia frowned, her fists flying up to her hips, "don't give attitude, I didn't have to do this at all you know."

"Yeah, I know." Felix rolled his eyes. He didn't ask for this, but he certainly didn't want to go shopping, so this was actually a pretty good deal.

Olivia continued with her grand act, pulling all sorts of clothes from several different bags that she had made Seungmin carry. "Okay, so I'm thinking tonight," she said pushing her hair out of the way, "you should go with a fancy casual."

"A fanc- casual?"

"Heard the word casual and he ran with it," she sighed turning to Seungmin, who just gave a tight smile and shrugged, sitting next to Felix on the couch. He found It was smart to stay out of these types of things.

"These pants," she said laying out a pair of black casual dress pants, "and thissss," she layers out a white collared shirt above the pants as if she was dressing an imagined person. "And with this cute ass sweater over it!" She held up a soft olive green sweater that had a small stitched frog on the right top corner of it.

The outfit was cute, Felix could admit, but he didn't think he could pull it off. It might've been something he would have worn in the past, but definitely not now.

"You don't have anything else?.." Felix grimaced, his hand flying up to his mouth as he began to bite on his nails.

"No," Olivia frowned, her arms falling to her sides. "Just trust me! This is it bro." She stomped.

"Fine fine, I'll wear it." Felix gave in, not wanting to argue any further.

"purr purr, exactly as I thought." She smiled, "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna be late," she said looking at the time on her Apple Watch. With that she was quick to exit her brothers apartment, leaving Seungmin and him to sit in silence.

"Well, I'm fine with waiting if you wanna get ready real quick," Seungmin suggested. Felix gave him a slight nod and stood up, taking his clothes back into his room. He turned around, choosing not to face his body mirror, not wanting to see himself. Not wanting to see his body. He slipped out of his clothes, and quickly put the new ones on. It didn't feel right, he felt like a Barbie doll, dressed up in clothes in which he didn't choose.

He turned around, finally looking in the mirror. It didn't look as terrible as he thought it had. He slid on his white air forces, and quickly entered his bathroom. He stood in front of the mirror dragging at his eye bags. "Hey Seungmin!" He called out.

"Yeah?"

"What do people do.. for like, eye bags?" He asked stepping out of his room, hanging onto the door frame.

Seungmin turned around, peering at him from over the back of the couch, "uhhh I think they say ice cubes work.. but If you mean for tonight, then I'd just put some makeup on."

Felix scrunched his face, "makeup?"

"Yeah," Seungmin shrugged. It wasn't a big deal, everyone wore makeup. But it was a big deal to Felix, "I haven't done makeup in ages.. where do you even start?" He asked quietly.

Immediately Seungmin sprang up from the couch, "I got this," he said making his way towards the older. He turned Felix around and pushed him through his room, and into the bathroom. He pushed the toilet seat down, grabbed a hold of the blondes shoulders, and plopped him down.

It didn't take him all but a second to spot Felix's makeup bag and search through it. Thankfully, to his surprise, he found what he needed. He leaned down and tilted the chin up, and carefully applied what he found necessary. Some concealer for under his eyes, he was cautious to try and cover the least amount of freckles that he could. He loved Felix's freckles, well everyone did. He then moved on to the eyes, deciding on a brownish gold shade, that he found really complimented his skin tone.

"All done!" Seungmin exclaimed, prompting the boy to stand up and take a look. He did, and when he did, he found himself taken back by his own reflection.

"Wow.."

"Seee~ a little goes a long way, not that you needed it. But you know, you look more.. alive?" Seungmin said trying to sound as nice as he could. They made their way to the door. Seungmin patiently waiting as the blonde took his time collecting his things, not wanting to leave his safe place.

Felix smiled, "thank you, I'm- im ready whenever you're ready.."

"Yeah?"

"I think so.." Felix uneasily stated. Seungmin smiled and opened the door, "after you then."
