STRAYKIDS ONE SHOTS

SeungLix | Royal Secret

   It's been roughly a year since Felix started working for the royal family. He was the crown prince's servant, going from bringing him tea and breakfast in the morning to gossiping with him about the other employees late at night.

   He liked his job. At times, it wasn't as easy, always having to run around and be of help, but in the end, he had a surprisingly large amount of free time. He had his own room in the castle-like mansion of the king and queen's home, time to spare and an amazing prince to spend his time with.

   Felix was glad the soon-to-be king wasn't a snob or even a bully, he was truly nice and looked at everyone the same way—though maybe, his eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and nervousness whenever he saw the blond enter the room, compared to everyone else.

   He couldn't help it. With those beautiful stars decorating his cheeks, just asking to be kissed individually; the majestic hair lining his face so perfectly and his breath-taking round eyes. Who wouldn't fall for someone as amazing as him?

   The young blond wasn't the only one left extremely happy with his job, Seungmin too, couldn't have wished for more. All of the old servants he had had were either just looking for connections or way too intrusive and pushy to be his friend.

   Yet with Felix, everything was different.

   "Son, we'd like to introduce you to your new servant. This is Felix, please, introduce yourself," The king spoke with his voice stern yet sweet, the blond was incredibly nervous. All the eyes were on him, especially the ones of the bodyguards scattered around the room—and of course, the prince, king and queen themselves.

   He gulped down the heavy air, getting his courage together to finally speak up. "Hello your majesty, it's a pleasure to meet and work for you. My name is Lee Felix and I will do my best to be of help." His voice was trembling with every word, yet it went unbeknownst to the two rulers of the land.

   But Seungmin took note of it, immediately letting a soft smile float onto his lips as Felix hurriedly bowed. "The pleasure is all mine as well, I'm pleased to meet you, Felix-ssi. I'm sure you'll do just fine."

   The older let a breath escape his lips, quick to bow yet another time, before muttering a small "thanks". Both the king and queen continued rambling on, mostly Seungmin's father taking the word, but he couldn't care less about what his parents were saying.

   All he could focus on was the boy in front of him, his hands and fingers fidgeting around and his neck and jaw tensing every now and then when his father chose to speak again—with his voice loud as ever.

   Seungmin observed the older boy, or at least his parents told him he was 19—a few months older than himself. Yet perhaps, they had just told him so he'd act nicer in front of his elders, even if he was literally the crown prince of South Korea. Making a good first impression still mattered in the whole picture.

   Just as the prince got lost in his thoughts, he noticed the boy bowing again and his parents bidding their goodbyes—for now. Felix looked at the younger boy of higher rank, fluttering his eyes closed just a few times too often to go unnoticed by the observing younger.

   The latter coughed lightly, before speaking up, "Follow me, please."

   Felix did as told, obeying the prince without a second thought in mind, and followed the steps of the younger carefully. The floor was a nice dark wood, spruce if Felix had to guess, and the walls were standing tall out of brick, decorated by wooden columns and huge windows every few steps.

   Everything about this place was majestic, from the literal floor to the boy he was following. A light blush tainted his face, as the prince opened the door of a room at the end of the hallway, guesturing Felix to come in.
