How To Be Scared Of Color

Felix woke up first. He raised a hand to rub his eyes, and was quick to make the observation that he was not in his own room. He went to sit up, only to make his second observation, there was something around his waist. An arm to be specific. His third observation in the span of thirty seconds, was that the arm belonged to Changbin. A wave of panic washed over Felix, causing him to tense.

Felix stared at Changbin as he was tensed before he finally managed to relax and laid back down, having shuffled away a bit to look at the older's sleeping face properly. He stared for longer than he should have. Felix wasn't sure why he stared for so long. Wasn't sure why he smiled softly. Wasn't sure why he raised his hand. Really wasn't sure why he placed said hand, gently against Changbin's sleeping face. Wasn't sure why his eyes drifted slightly down. Wasn't sure why he moved his thumb, and ran the pad of it across the older's lips.

The what he was doing, finally hit Felix and the panic returned. Though this time he didn't tense. Instead, he pulled his hand back and carefully removed Changbin's arm from around himself, then climbed out of the bed slowly before rushing over to the bathroom, eyes wide because, what the fuck was that???

As soon as the bathroom door shut, Changbin's eyes opened. He stretched and looked up at the ceiling, a soft smile forming on his lips as he raised a hand to them, tracing them just like Felix had done moments prior. He wasn't sure why it had happened, or what had come over Felix to do such a thing, because that was so not something Felix would normally do. The older never imagined the Australian would ever be bold enough to do something like tracing the older's lips with his thumb.

Changbin bit his lip to refrain from smiling too much, and when he heard the bathroom door open, he pretended as though he had just woken up. Felix's eyes widened for just a moment when he saw the older awake, "oh, hey."

"Hey," Changbin rasped out. He didn't think he was a good actor but Felix seemed to buy it, and for a second he wondered if he should have auditioned for the musicals his high school put on, "how'd you sleep?"

"Fine," Felix replied, "um, you?"

"I slept okay," the older replied, stretching again.

"How long have you been up?" Felix asked.

"Not long," a lie.

"Ah," Felix nodded, "sorry I fell asleep here."

"Don't be," Changbin shook his head as he sat up. The younger standing by the bathroom awkwardly, "come sit."

Felix almost did, "I should head back to my own dorm actually."

"Oh," Changbin replied, "you can stay a bit longer if you want to."

The foreigner shook his head, "I should go."

"Oh," the older said again, "if you'd like to, I get it."

"I'll um, see you on Monday then," Felix said and promptly left the dorm, releasing a sigh and made his way to his own dorm, wondering why exactly he had done such things while Changbin was asleep. It was weird.

The older of the two stared at his door after Felix had left, and softly smiled to himself. Still thinking about what the younger had done before. He looked around his room and hummed to himself as he got up, walked over to his bookshelf, and looked at his two Tomorrow X Together posters that were hanging up right by it.

Changbin raised a hand to gently touch at the spot of the poster where Taehyun's shirt was. The poster was from The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape. A poster where Huening Kai, Beomgyu, Soobin, and Taehyun were standing, a bit hunched over with Yeonjun crouched down in front, holding a spray paint can. He let his eyes drift to the other poster and his jaw dropped open a bit.
