King Of The Ring | Minlix

Chapter 8 - Nerve

Felix didn't think he had ever seen such beautiful eyes in his life before. They were dark and so deep. The way the lights hit them was just right to make them sparkle just slightly.

But then he heard the owner of the deep pools speak and he remembered why he hated such eyes.

"Oh it's coffee boy. What a disappointing surprise" Minho said, looking at Felix with a that same taunting look in his eyes that he had that day at the coffee shop.

"You're not much a grand price yourself either" Felix replied, annoyance starting to creep into him already.

"Still got your panties in a twist I see" the older replied, whereas a smirk started to creep into his face.

"Still being a dick I see" Felix bit back, watching as the male in front of him just chuckled, highly enjoying seeing the younger get riled up.

"What brings you here? Looking for someone to kick out again?" Minho prodded, making Felix refrain from scowling.

"Well I came to see the 'legendary' king in action, but now I'm starting to realize how much of a rat bastard he really is" Felix said, seeing the smallest muscle in the others jaw twitch.

"Aw, and how was I? Did I live up to your pretty standards?" The older asked, a hint of arrogance starting to line his words making Felix roll his eyes.

"I've seen better. You were a little stiff" The younger said making Minho laugh at that, an amused smile on his lips.

"Oh darling you're hilarious. I didn't know charity cases could have a sense of humor"

That made Felix scowl, his jaw clenching slightly. "Excuse me?" He said, making the older's smirk grow.

"Did I strike a nerve?" He mocked lightly, amusement written all over him as he looked at the younger's offended expression.

"Take your nerve and shove it up your-" Felix got cut off when Chan quickly stepped between them to stop them.

"Woah woah woah, what's going on?" Chan asked making Minho's smirk get even cockier,

"Just having a little conversation with the flower. He withers pretty quickly,"

"And your little dick radiates off you pretty quickly as well but here we are" Felix countered, his head tilted slightly as he watched the older's expression twist.

That made Jisung who was standing off to the side chuckle, but quickly shut his mouth again when Minho turned and gave him a look.

"Alright, enough" Chan said, making both males shut up for a moment. The oldest turned to Felix with a small smile before saying,

"I have to go back to the locker room and grab a few things, and I need Jisung's help. Will you be okay here for a minute?" He asked making Felix nod.

The younger wasn't to keen on being left alone with Minho since Hyunjin and Changbin had disappeared somewhere, but he didn't want to keep Chan here if he needed to do some stuff.

"I'll be fine" Felix said making Chan nod, before turning to walk away, however he stopped for a minute and looked over his shoulder.

"Remember, don't leave the box" He said before him and Jisung headed down the stairs, leaving Felix alone with Minho, who was leaning against the railing, looking at him intently.

"What?" He said, making the older grin slightly, crossing his arms over his chest as he continued to lean on the railing.

"I'm surprised you haven't begged to leave by now with all the flashing lights and screaming. Not to mention the smells" Minho said, making Felix hum.

It was true, it was indeed very loud from the people screaming around the arena, and the smell of weed and sweat mixed together, wafting into the younger's nose.

"I'm not a child, I can take care of myself in places like this just fine," The younger said, making Minho push off the railing, taking a small step closer.

"Really? Cause I'm pretty sure I just heard Chan telling you not to leave the box since he knows you can't handle yourself on the floor down there"

"I can handle myself, up here and down on the floor" Felix said, not liking how the other thought he couldn't handle things himself.

"Oh I'm sure. You just scream strength and the ability to handle large crowds of criminals and high people," The older taunted, making Felix's ego crack just slightly.

He wasn't sure if he actually could handle being on the floor by himself, but he sure as hell wasn't gonna give Minho the satisfaction of knowing that.

"I'm not a defenseless person who can't do anything," Felix gritted, making the older step closer, invading his personal space a little.

"No? Cause you seem pretty small and defenseless to me. But if you're so sure, show me. Go down there darling. I want you to go touch the front door and come back by yourself," Minho challenged with a condescending tone, only making Felix grit his teeth harder.

He knew it was stupid, Chan told him to stay in the box and he said he would, but he couldn't sit here and listen to the older treat him like a child.

"Fine, I will. I'd love for you to eat and hopefully choke on your words" Felix said, making the older lean down to his face, a grin on his face.

"We both know you'd be the one choking on things between us" The older said, making Felix raise his eyebrow at the double meaning.

"But go on flower. Go touch the front door and come back. Let me eat my words if you're so confident" Minho said, making Felix roll his eyes and walk over to the stairs.

He looked down them, down to the bottom where the 2 security guards were positioned to keep people from coming up to the box. Felix could already see people down there, body's pressed together because there was no space to go anywhere else, the dark flashing colored lights making his head spin lightly.

But as he glanced over to the older who was leaning against the railing again, watching the younger with a mocking smirk, Felix looked past his discomfort, not about to let the asshole of a male get the satisfaction of knowing he was right.

So, Felix took a deep breath, steeling himself for something he knew he was gonna regret before starting to walk down the stairs to the floor.
