"Felix I don't understand why you're asking me this." Minho groaned, watching his brother frantically showing him different outfits and asking which looked better on him. "Because you're the only one who I can talk to right now. Now tell me if this one is better than... this one?" The outfits were a white button up with a black tie along with leather pants, and a blue jumper with shorts and nothing else.

Minho sighed "First off, the first outfit looks like you're about to go to school, and the other one makes you look like a smurf-Felix just wear something normal! Stop panicking over this." The older started to get up from the blonde's bed, and headed towards the door.

"Minho! You don't understand how important this is! He's coming here to bake with me! I'm so nervous..." Felix whined, dropping all his clothes on his bed before clinging onto his brother's arm. "Why? Why are you so nervous lix? It's literally just a baking session with your friend. I don't understand why you're so nervous." The boy cupped his face, one eyebrow raised as he stared at the red blonde.

"It's just... nerve racking, okay?" He mumbled, gazing at a different direction as Minho's glare. This only made the purple-haired hair man smirk, letting go of the boys face before crossing his arms. "Oh? Is it now? Are you sure this isn't because of something else that you're nervous?"

Felix tilted his head. "What do you mean?"

Minho sighed, "Nevermind. Well, I'm going to my office to finish off some paper work, I won't be back until about midnight. Don't get too distracted with your date and make sure you feed the cats. Bye I love you!" He quickly said before rushing out of the room.

"Wh-what!? He's not my date Minho!" The boy called out, running after the older while he heard distant giggling before a loud slam of the front door. The blonde groaned in annoyance, walking back to his bedroom and looking through his closet again. He took his brother's words in to consideration, and looked for any casual clothes that would be suitable for baking, and soon enough, the outfit he formed was an oversized hoodie that went down halfway of his thigh, and soft baggy pants. He let out a small huff of confidence as he went to his bathroom, taking a quick rinse before changing in to the outfit.

Once finished, he went downstairs to the kitchen, three cats quickly following him as their father left for work, and he started to get all the ingredients ready, making sure he had everything to make brownies, and placed a baby gate at the entrance to the kitchen, carrying all the cats out of there so they wouldn't try and eat any of the ingredients. Small meows of protest emitted from the three, trying to insist him to let them in, but Felix, after a long cry session from how cute they were, didn't let them get to his mind.

He walked back to the kitchen island, where everything was placed, before checking the time on his phone. He smiled, seeing that he still had a few minutes for himself as he left the kitchen, making sure the baby gate was locked, and headed to the living room, cleaning up the mess Minho made on the couch, multiple paperworks scattered across the room with 15 empty cups of coffee on the coffee table, sighing at the mess and coffee that was left there.

He knew the boy was overworking himself all the time, which worried him to a large extent, as he also figured out that in the times he worked, sleeping was not a necessity to him, only sleeping when he ran out of coffee at midnight, or when Felix would force him out of the living room and to his bed. Felix was more than concerned of the well-being of his brother, however everytime the blonde would mention it to him, the only response would be a change of subject.
