Waiting For You/ Chanlix

"What are we gonna do today?" Felix asked as soon as Chan opened his eyes.

"Felix, I just woke up," Chan groaned.

"I know you've planned out all of the days, what are we doing today?" he asked again.

Chan rubbed his eyes and looked at his boyfriend, "I wanted to introduce you to Minho," he explained.

Felix knew what he meant, they were going to go to Minho's grave.

It was something that he was hoping they would do but it seemed like too strange of a thing to ask Chan about.

The two got up and dressed and Chan noticed Felix slip his notebook into Chan's bag but he decided not to ask about it.

They began walking, Felix swung their arms back and forth as they walked.

Chan pulled him into a small flower shop, immediately picking up some purple baby's breath.

"Those are pretty," Felix said and Chan nodded.

"They were Minho's favorites."

They began walking again and this time Felix was the one pulling Chan's arm.

"Where are you taking me? You don't know where we are."

"I wanna bring him something too," Felix explained as he walked into a small convenience store and picked out a small bunny plushie.

He quickly paid for it and they were back on their way again.

They arrived at the grave and Felix read the name on the gravestone. He let Chan put down the flowers first then placed the bunny plushie down next to them.

"Hey Minho, I know it's been a while. I miss you a lot and I have someone that I want to introduce you to."

Felix listened carefully since surprisingly, this was the first time he had heard Chan speak Korean.

"This is Felix, my boyfriend."

"Hi Minho," Felix said quietly, they both sat in front of the gravestone. "I brought you a bunny plushie since Chan already got your favorite flowers. I hope you like it, I kinda thought that it looked like you."

"You have been practicing," Chan commented on his Korean skills and Felix showed him a small smile. "I always told him that he looks like a bunny. When we were little he insisted that he looked more like a cat," he explained and Felix let out a small laugh.

"I've been reading your journal, or at least reading it to Chan so he doesn't have to read them alone and I feel like I've gotten to know you pretty well so I wanted to introduce myself to you too," Felix explained as he reached for Chan's bag and grabbed his journal.

"So it wasn't for me," Chan said and Felix shook his head.

"It's for Minho."

Chan smiled, leaning his head on Felix's shoulder as the younger began to read what he had written.

"Hi Minho, it's Felix.

I'm from Australia, I work at a small cafe with my best friend Lily where I met Chan. Before I met Chan my life was pretty boring, I didn't have much to look forward to. Then a pretty blonde boy with curly hair walked in and suddenly I looked forward to him coming in every single day. I didn't think that anything would become of my crush but I fell in love with him and I got to learn a lot about you. I know I never got to formally meet you but I feel like I've known you almost my entire life. While this relationship has given me Chan, it's also given me the chance to get to know you and I'm so happy I've gotten to know such amazing people."

Felix finished reading and looked over at Chan who had tears in his eyes and quickly wrapped his arms around him.

"I would have written more but I was kind of running out of time and-"

"It's perfect," Chan reassured, placing a kiss on his head, "I love you," Chan finally said out loud, and as anxious as it had been making him, it felt really good.

"I love you too."
