Stuck in the middle (Minlix x Reader)

Chapter 23 - He's back

The entire week Felix was in Australia, Leeknow and I spent every day together. It was a little weird at first, moments of awkward silence and catching each other's eye. But after the first day or two, things felt somewhat normal again.

Staying at the dorms for a week was a lot to handle, which is why for the last three days we had finally gone back to my apartment. It was far more peaceful, and we just passed the time with movies and activities. The man was weirdly respectful, and without Felix around he never tried to initiate anything. There weren't exactly rules on how to be a throuple without actually being a throuple, but there seemed to be an unspoken understanding that sex was out of the question unless all three of us were around.

So now I just lay here, my head in Leeknow's lap. He was reading a book to me, considering we had meant to do a little bit of studying. I let out a long sigh, pulling a small face. "That doesn't make sense."

"Maybe if you were listening-..."

"I was listening."

Leeknow set the book down, looking down at me as he cocked a brow. "No you weren't, you were staring at the ceiling."

"It's my concentration face." I defended, giving him a shrug.

"No it's not, you stick your tongue out when you're concentrating." The man corrected, an amused smile on his face.

I let out a defeated groan, annoyed at how well he seemed to know me. It was weird at first, because he always had this look about him that he didn't care. But talking to him, he seemed to observe everything. "Fine fine... maybe I wasn't listening."

Leeknow hummed in response, satisfied at my confession. He moved his hand towards my face, moving a strand of hair away as his eyes moved down to my lips. He caught himself doing it a lot, except this time I was staring back at him.

He trailed his thumb down over my jaw, carefully grazing over my lips. He didn't stop even as I sat up, looking at him. "Leeknow.."

His gaze moved to meet mine, but there was no sign of lust. He was looking at me with a look I hadn't quite seen before, adoration almost. He leant forwards, pressing his lips against mine in a brief kiss. It didn't last long before he pulled back, his face lingering close to mine for a moment before I leant forward to return his kiss.

He kissed me back, leaning in further as he pushed me back against the mattress. He wasn't rough as usual, taking his time to savour the feeling of my lips pressed against his. I wrapped my legs around his waist, running my hand up through his hair. His hands trailed down, stopping at my hips as if he was fighting against himself. "Y/n..." he grunted, pulling back. The frustration was evident on his face, but I couldn't understand why, or what was stopping him.

I gave him an understanding nod, moving my hand down over his shoulder and across his chest. "It's okay." I reassured him, before there was a knock at the door. Leeknow moved off of me, letting me get up to answer it.

I left the bedroom, pulling open the apartment door open when I was lifted off of my feet. "Felix!?" I called out in confused, looking up at the blonde boy as he set me on my feet.

"God I missed you." He leant down, pulling me into a deep kiss as he pushed me back into the apartment. I couldn't get over the wave of confusion, pulling back to look up at him.

"You're early, I thought we were picking you up tomorrow?" I smiled, obviously happy to see him.

"I wanted to surprise you... and I just couldn't stay away." He grinned, that mischievous glint in his eye before he got distracted. "Leeknow? What's up?" He diverted his attention walking over to his friend who he pulled into one of those bro hugs. "I'm glad you're both here, I hate leaving."

"Good to see you Lix, how was the trip?" Leeknow questioned ever so casually, not at all phased by the sudden appearance.

"Ah bro, it was so good." Felix smiled "but it's good to be back in Korea." He turned back to me, running his eyes over me before stopping at my arm. "I can't believe I was gone for only a day before you two were causing chaos." He teased, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

I couldn't help but smile, having Felix back made everything feel normal again. "I'm glad you're back Lix! Now we can all go out to eat."

"Actually no... there's a welcome back party tonight." Leeknow shrugged, tilting his head slightly.

"You knew?!" I playfully gasped at the betrayal, throwing one of the decorative couch pillows at him. He dodged it with his cat like reflexes, before grinning.

"Go shower y/n. We all know how long you take to get ready." He snickered, causing Felix to laugh.

"Go on... I'll make you something to eat." Felix placed a kiss on my head, watching me walk towards the bathroom before going to make dinner and catch up with Leeknow.
