Steal His Heart - Hyunlix

HwANg

"Walkin' around.. with my little raincloud.. hanging over my head.. and it ain't coming down.. where do I g-" Hyunjin sang as he wiped the orange peel off the counter, stopped in his tracks by a knock on the door.

He walked over to it and opened it, immediately growing a smile on his face seeing the person on the other side.

"Ange-"

"I need a favor." The younger brought out the puppy eyes, causing a slight wave of dread to rush over Hyunjin.

"The puppy eyes..? What's going on?" He asked with concern in his voice.

Felix stepped to the side to reveal a jittery Jisung behind him, who only glared up as he continued to practically rub the skin between his fingers raw.

"Ji?" Hyunjin asked in shock. He hadn't seen the younger like this before.. well, not quite like that.

"He's spiraling and I can't pull him out of it long enough to fix the problem." Felix admitted sadly with a hint of frustration in his expression. "Can you just make sure he doesn't die until I finish or until Minho gets out of his meeting?"

"Wait? Finish what?" The artist followed up, ushering the two inside the apartment and leading Jisung to the couch to sit down.

Felix looked back at his twin and dragged Hyunjin further away, hoping to get to an area far enough so that Jisung couldn't hear them.

"There is still a lot to prepare before the showcase tonight. Jisung has been stressing about it for weeks and on top of the wedding planning I think he snapped. He has had like five panic attacks this morning alone and I do-" he whispered yelled, starting to panic himself the more he spoke.

Hyunjin pulled him into a hug, letting his boyfriend find comfort in his chest.

Felix inhaled deeply and let the strong arms and rose scent ground him back down to earth. When his heart was beating at a safe pace again, he pulled away from it but kept his hands on the older's chest.

"I'll do whatever you ask, Angel. Are you okay?" The artist urged as he held Felix's face in his hands, studying his features for his own sense of comfort.

Felix smiled softly and reached on his toes, kissing Hyunjin gratefully. "I will be.. I'm just worried about Sung.." He looked over at his twin, who was still catatonically looking at the coffee table rubbing his hands together. "It's never been this bad.. not even when Min went to college.. I don't know how to help him." He sighed sadly. "Sung has always been there for me.. I just hate that I can't seem to return the favor.." his shoulders dropped and he tiredly dropped his head against Hyunjin's shoulder.

The artist wrapped him back up in a hug and kissed his head sweetly. "Don't say that. You guys have been under a lot of pressure the past couple of months, love. Both of you. You're helping him now by doing what you think is best and forcing him to take a break when he..." He looked over at Jisung and let the weird sight prove his point. "...clearly needs it."

Felix chuckled softly at the taken aback nature of someone who has only ever seen Jisung in his bubbly forward nature. Truth was.. Jisung had a long history of anxiety which could usually be managed.. but the increased stress seemingly took a toll.

"Usually, he responds well if you just call his anxiety brain out on its bullshit but that wasn't working today.. at least not for long. The only other thing I can think of is to just take care of everything and make it through the night." He sighed tensely.

Hyunjin tilted the younger's head up to look at him. "In that case, go do what you need to do and don't worry about Jisung. I'll make sure he stays alive." He urged.
