we don't feel like us anymore - chanlix

Chan lays back in his office chair, rubbing his temple. A difficult document staring at him. The dinging of the Iphone catches his attention.

Chan opens the message and sees the ad Felix was talking about.

"COLLEGE STUDENT IN NEED OF ACCOMMODATION:
Hi, I'm currently looking for a place to stay while I further my studies. I am a clean, neat and organised person who will respect your household and the things in it. Contact me at..........."

Chan places the phone down, thinking briefly. He has been an ass to Felix lately and from what he can deduce, Felix would appreciate the company. Chan also wouldn't mind having someone else to talk to. This might just be an opportunity to save his marriage.

"sorry about last night lix. i think it's a good idea. tell him to come over and you can interview him lol. if he looks good, you can let him stay, i trust ur judgement"

Felix glances at the text, smiling at the response. He did love Chan, it was just that sometimes he felt like they just didn't stick as well as they used to. He wouldn't want to divorce Chan, so he had hoped that this could give them another chance at finding each other.

Chan repeats the pattern he's been doing for the past few years. Clocking out from work, driving home, dreading it and shaking the doorknob slightly because the key gets stuck sometimes.

Chan enters the room, but it feels different. It's not as gloomy as it always is, it's not as heavy as it always is. The air felt lighter.

Chan directs his attention to the couch where he is met with a small boy, dressed in a black shirt and skinny jeans. His midnight blue hairs falls on his forehead slightly, complimenting his pale, round face.

"Oh, he's here" Felix says, quickly darting up to stand next to his husband.

"Chan, this is Jisung, he's studying microbiology at the college not too far from here!" The blonde continues, smiling widely.

Chan notices that Felix is gleaming, he hasn't seen him this happy in quite a long time, he's ashamed to say.

The blue haired boy greets chan warmly with a dashing smile and a bow.

"We were just talking about the arrangements! Join us" Felix grabs his partner's arm, tugging him towards the couch.
