[ENG] Maniac | SKZ ONE SHOTS BXB

[🍼] Sunshine - Chanlix

While most of the band members were hanging out in their rooms or the living room, Felix secretly fled to his room. He won a rock, paper, scissors fight with the other members, thanks to which he was the only one who did not share a room with anyone, and 3Racha had to live together.

He pulled a cardboard box from under the bed, all covered with stickers. He opened it gently, and his eyes flashed at the sight of a dozen toys. He didn't have many, because he didn't know how he could hide more.

However, before he started playing alone, he went to the wardrobe and put on a kigurumi of ducklings. He sat down on the soft carpet, clutching the pacifier in his hand. He put it in his mouth. He grabbed a toy and started playing. Like a little kid. Going into Little Space as an idol was very dangerous - someone could find him and his career would be over. But it allowed him to calm down. He could play carelessly, return to a childhood he never really had.

Oh how much Felix would like to tell the guys in the band that he is entering Little Space. He would like them to take care of him so that he could calmly behave like a child around them. But he couldn't - he was afraid of their reaction. And he was most afraid of Christopher's reaction - his boyfriend, with whom he has been in a healthy relationship for two years. Little Space is poorly received these days. What if you kicked him out? Would they reject him? Would they be disgusted?

"Felix Hyu-!" Yang Jeongin, the maknae, burst into the room. He stopped his sentence when he noticed his Hyung with a pacifier in his mouth, a toy in his hand, in a kigurumi. He was sitting on the carpet with his legs stretched out.

"J-Jeongin...?" He opened his eyes wide, staring at the youngest member of the team. He didn't know what to say.

"J-Ja... Chan Hyung!" He ran out of his room, running to the leader. They all did that when they didn't know what to do. Chan Hyung always helped them find a solution to any problem.

"Jeongin!" He tried to stop him, but in vain.

He didn't know - what to do? How to react? He was helpless, and the realization of this made him burst out crying loudly. He crouched down, burying his face in his knees. His hands were shaking, and the kigurumi material was getting wet from the tears that flowed from his eyes in streams.

Then his small body was wrapped in strong, muscular, broad arms - it was Chris. The older hugged him, letting him snuggle into his body, soaking his shirt. After what Jeongin told him, he already knew that Felix was entering Little Space. His old friend was into it too, so he knew what it was like, how to act, how to react, what to do. It wasn't something strange, unnatural to him - it was, to him, charming.

"Shh, sunshine. It's okay, don't cry." He stroked the younger's back, whispering soothing words in his ear.

"Ch-Channie..." He wept, allowing himself to wrap his arms tightly around the Elder's neck.

"Now, now. I'm with you, and I'm not going anywhere, baby." No one could deny that Christopher is a great boyfriend.

Once Felix calmed down, he fell asleep in the arms of the elder, who finally had time to think seriously. Of course - he won't leave Felix. He didn't even add it to the backup options. The younger one was his sunshine. The greatest and most important person in his life. Instead, he wondered what to do if Felix uncontrollably entered Little Space on stage? How will the rest react? Should he postpone his engagement plans until things settle down?

"Mgh, Channie Hyung..." He muttered sleepily, cuddling into the warm body of his beloved.

"I'm here, Lix." He stroked his hair. "Don't you think we should talk?"

"I... I'll put it simply - I'm slipping in Little Space. But I'm begging you, don't leave me! I can try to heal! O-Or hold it with you-"

"I know, Lix. An old friend of mine also slipped into Little Space. I immediately recognized that you were too. And I'm not going to leave, are you crazy?" He kissed his temple. "You are my sunshine, how could I let myself lose you?"

"God, how I love you, Channie!"

"Little Space? What is it?" Changbin asked.

They decided to get the whole band together for a serious talk in the living room, and tell them about Felix's Little Space.

"So basically, when I'm in Little Space, I act like a little kid; I play with toys, etc." Felix explained.

"I heard about it!" Seungmin called cheerfully. "And do you drink milk from a bottle, like babies?"

"Sometimes..." He was ashamed.

"How cute! Come on, let's leave these idiots, Chris will explain the rest, and I'll make you milk!" Jisung pulled his friend's hand, and the equally delighted Seungmin went with them.

"They stole your boyfriend." Hyunjin laughed.

"You too." Changbin joined the jokes, directing his words to Minho.
