A Game Of Love & Flames (Minsung)

Chapter 22

HYUNJIN

The cool, antiseptic smell of the infirmary filled my nostrils as I carefully adjusted the ice pack on Felix's bruised knuckles as we sat opposite each other.  He winced, a soft hiss escaping his lips, and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"You know," I said, trying to keep my tone light, "I never thought for a second I would have turned around to see you punching a guy in the face. My fearless little fairy"

Felix glanced up at me with those deep, dark eyes. "Yeah, well, he had it coming.. Hyunjin, why do you call me that?"

I couldn't argue with that. The guy had been an asshole, im glad Felix snapped and put him in his place. But seeing Felix hurt, even if it was just his hand, made something twist in my chest. I wanted to keep him safe, and I wanted to make sure he never had to fight again. I wanted... I wanted oh so many things.

I focused on his hand. On the gentle way, I was cradling it with mine. His skin was warm and soft, even with the ice pack against it. I could feel his pulse thrumming under my fingers. I swallowed hard, my mouth suddenly dry. Not now brain, not now Hyunjin.

"So... does it hurt a lot?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

"It's not too bad," Felix replied, but his voice was soft, small. He was looking at me in that way he did sometimes, when he wasn't being a brat. Like he was starving, and I was the last meal on earth. It made my heart race.

God, I wanted to make a move. Just lean down and press my lips against his, feel the softness of those plump pouty lips  against mine. But my nerves were like a cage, holding me back, making me doubt. What if he didn't want that? What if I was just imagining that he was looking at me like that? I mean, it's been a long time since I've felt this way about someone. Truth is, it has been for all of us. We've been so busy and never had the time to stop and think about it.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice him moving until his free hand was on my cheek, tilting my face toward him. "Hey, where did you go?" My breath caught in my throat as he leaned in, "Focus on me" his lips brushed mine in a feather-light kiss that sent a shiver down my spine.

It was like a spark ignited between us, and suddenly, I was kissing him back, my hands moving to hold his waist to pull him onto my lap, I wrapped his arms around my neck. The taste of him was intoxicating, and I couldn’t get enough. His lips were soft and eager, his breath warm against my skin, and I felt a heat pooling in my stomach, spreading through my veins like wildfire.

I pulled him even closer so we were body to body, his crotch pressed firmly against mine. As soon as it made contact, a small whine escaped his lips. My heart was pounding in my chest. Felix’s fingers slid into my hair, tugging gently, and I groaned into his mouth, losing myself in the feel of him. This was everything I had been dreaming of, everything I had wanted, and more.

But just as things were getting more heated, the door to the infirmary swung open with a loud bang. We broke apart, breathing heavily, and our faces flushed as we turned to see Changbin standing in the doorway, his eyes wide with shock.

“What the—” Changbin started, his voice a mix of disbelief and amusement. “Are you guys serious right now? First Minho and Jisung, and now you?! Can't I catch a break?!”

Felix and I exchanged a glance, and I could feel the heat creeping up my neck. I wasn’t sure if I should be embarrassed or relieved. Maybe a bit of both.

“Hey Bin” I said, giggling at his reaction. “We were just... um... Wait, Jisung and Minho?!”

Felix just laughed, that bright, sunny sound that made my heart skip a beat. “Sorry Changbin!"

Changbin rolled his eyes, but I could see the grin tugging at his lips. “Just.. leave a sign on the door or something next time, okay?”

I nodded, still a bit dazed from the kiss, but when I looked over at Felix, his smile was so genuine, so full of happiness that I couldn’t help but smile back.

As Changbin turned to leave, muttering something about needing brain bleach, I reached out and took Felix’s hand again, careful of his bruised knuckles. I pressed a kiss against them.

"So, finally decided to give in to me, hmm?" I say with a smirk.

"Don't get any ideas, it was a moment, and it felt right" He says looking away from me.

"Hey, don't be shy.."

"I am not shy! I just have a little issue.. im waiting to resolve itself. "

"Issue?" I say as I look at him confused.

He motions to where our bodies meet. In all the ruckus, I didn't even notice.. Oh, my sweet little fairy. All excited all for me. Well, this is just divine. The knowledge that it is mutual between us is tipping me over the edge.

I reach up to place my hand on his cheek. "Nothing to be embarrassed about, darling"

"I'm not.. Ive never-It's never reacted this way before to someone else" He says, a small blush tinting his cheeks.

"I'm honoured. Truly.. Would you like me to help fix it?"

"Fix it? How?" He looked at me with those sweet, innocent eyes. Different from how he would normally look at me. All traces of his sassy, brattiness gone. It was a true sight to behold.

"I will have to show you.. if you want me to show you? Do I have your permission?"

"O-okay"

I decide it's best to move him somewhere more private. So I stand with him wrapped around me, holding under his thighs. I walk us up the stairs, down the hall, and to my bedroom. Once inside, I sit him on the bed.

"Nice room you've got here, wait, you paint?!" He says, staring at my work in awe.

"I do, in my free time. Which I don't get alot of at the moment"

"They're beautiful.."

I walk up behind him and whisper in his ear. "You're beautiful, I'd love to paint you one day"

He gasps, feeling my body pressed against his back. "M-me? I'm-Oh no-Im not.."

I turn him around in my arms in one swift movement. "Stop babbling, you are the most beautiful creature I've ever seen"

He looks up at me with those big eyes and I feel my insides melt. I can't hold back any longer. I press my lips to his once again, hoping he returns the kiss. He does, hungrily. He kisses me like it's the last time he will. I lift him up and take him over to the bed once more, pushing him backwards to lay down and leaning over the top him.

"Are you sure you want me to help you? Last chance to walk away now.."

He stares up at me. "Please.."

"It's okay, sweetheart, I've got you"

My sweet little fairy. I'll take care of you.
