To be completely honest, Changbin noticed everything. The moment he and Minho broke up, he could see it. Minho was sad; something was bothering him. Changbin thought it may just be something going on at home. But the more he thought about it, the more he could see the real reason behind what Minho was doing.
Minho stealing glances at Chan from across the room was a massive giveaway. He wanted nothing more than his best friend. And when that was taken away from him, you could say it sent him crazy. The looks he gave the Australian boy was different from the way he looked at Changbin. Changbin could tell that Minho's feelings for him were forced. The older boy was in love with none other than Bang Chan. Why couldn't Chan see that? He needed to get him to notice, before Minho became out of control. He wasn't particularly close to Chan himself, so it was going to be difficult without getting anyone else involved. But he saw the new boy- Felix?- talking to Chan one day. The new boy was someone Changbin himself wanted to get close to anyway, and this gave him the perfect opportunity.
"Hey, are you Felix?" Felix turned around to see a boy he didn't recognise behind him. He was shorter than Felix, which he thought was quite cute.
"Yeah," he replied, "And you are..."
"I'm... uh..."
"You forgot your name or something?" Felix joked.
"Changbin" he finally managed to choke out his name. Felix found it adorable that Changbin seemed to become tongue-tied around him.
Changbin eventually managed to bring up Chan and Minho, the subject he was originally there to talk about. Felix instantly agreed with him.
"I know," the blonde boy said, "I see them staring at each other all the time"
Felix giggled, and Changbin was left breathless by the boy's smile. "Chan thinks he's got it bad for Woojin, but he should see the way he looks at Minho."
Felix should see the way Changbin was looking at him.
They spent the next few weeks subtly hinting to Chan about Minho. They knew he liked him, they just needed Chan to admit it to himself. It took a long time, then he realised. And as Chan was finally doing something about his feelings, Changbin decided that maybe he should too.
Changbin had always felt something towards Felix. The way the younger boy talked, the way he laughed. He loved it. So he wanted to tell him how he felt.
"Felix, can I tell you something?"
"Yeah, go ahead"
"Don't hate me for this"
Felix looked blankly at a Changbin, "Why would I hate you?"
Changbin shook his head, "Never mind"
"No, Binnie hyung!" Felix held on to Changbin's arm. There he goes with that nickname again.
"Tell me"
"Okay" Changbin took a deep breath, trying a little too hard to hide his nerves, "Felix, I think I... like you"
Felix froze and stared at him, "Really?"
"Uhh... yes?"
Felix wrapped both arms around the older boy, "I like you too, Binnie hyung"
Changbin rested his head on Felix's shoulder. He knew he was happy like this.
They were happy like this.

A/N: This is basically what happened between chapters 4&5 from a Changlix POV. Sorry that it's not really Banginho, but I wanted to give a little backstory to how Banginho & Changlix happened (and the writing isn't as good but oh well).
So I guess this is the end of Sweater Paws!
Also I'm working on another (and by that I mean more than one) Banginho fanfic but I'm going to wait until I've got a good idea of how I want the story to go until I publish it.
