After Changbin had that chat with Hyunjin he was even more distracted by everything Felix was doing.

The knowledge of Felix' feelings towards him made the older boy more restless in the younger boy's presence than he already was.

Anyone would notice this - and of course Felix was the first to do so. He knew Changbin inside out.

"Hyung."

Felix and Changbin were sitting in the cinema with their friends and watching a new film.

Hyunjin and the others insisted Changbin to sit right next to Felix, who was currently whispering something into Changbin's ear.

"Hyung, are you even paying attention to the film?", the younger boy whispered and Changbin wondered how he could still manage to have such a deep voice while whispering.

"O-of course", Changbin whispered back and looked back at the screen. 

He had been staring at Felix' face since the film had started. Maybe that's why Felix is laughing quietly now and shaking his head.

The younger boy was glad, that the light was out and Changbin couldn't see his blushing cheeks. Felix had noticed him staring and he tried to ignore his racing heart - despite the fact that they were sharing popcorn and their hands were touching occasionally.

They apologized for touching each others hand for at least a million times now and none of them knew, where the big deal was.

They were friends. 

Best friends. 

They've known each other for years now and just because they now have feelings for each other, of which neither Felix nor Changbin were aware of, they behaved like strangers.

Felix reached inside the popcorn bucket Changbin was holding. He was so preoccupied by the film on the screen that he didn't notice Changbin's hand also reaching for popcorn.

They looked at each other and tried to laugh it off, but both heard the nervous undertone and quickly looked back at the screen.

Hyunjin, who was sitting behind them, could only shake his head and stuffed popcorn into his mouth to prevent himself from grabbing both of their heads and smashing their lips together.

"You want them to kiss already too?", Jisung asked with his cheeks full of popcorn, looking like a squirrel - he must have had the same idea as Hyunjin.

The older boy nodded, munching his popcorn in silence.

It was almost unbearable for the two of them to watch their friends being like this, wishing they would confess their undying love already. 

Once again Felix' hand brushed against Changbin's as they both reached for popcorn.

"S-sorry." They looked at each other again and  Hyunjin could only roll his eyes.

Changbin and Felix were the first to leave the movie theater.

"Did you like the film?", Changbin asked and threw the empty popcorn bucket into a trash bin. The younger boy nodded and fiddled with his fingers.

"Lix, is everything okay?"

Changbin laid an arm around the younger boys shoulders and walked outside with him.

"Yes...everything's alright", Felix said and looked at the ground. He should be used to skinship - especially with Changbin, but right now it was overwhelming. His cheeks turned a light pink and he tried to hide it behind his hair, that fell into his face.

But suddenly a hand brushed over his cheek, putting his hair back behind his ear.

He lifted his head in surprise and looked directly into Changbin's face, that was only a few inches away.

"Are you sure?", Changbin asked again.

"No..."

Felix didn't know what to say and it became awkward.

He didn't know Changbin knew about his feelings. And he was scared, the older boy could read his face like an open book.

"What's wrong, Lix?"

Hyunjin was right behind them, sipping the last bit of his coke and watching the drama going down in front of him.

He felt like a puppeteer, even though his "dolls" didn't need to be played. They did it on their own.

"I don't know..." The younger boy's cheeks got a tint darker as they left the building and Changbin pulled him closer, knowing, that Felix easily got cold without his jacket.

Usually he would just give him his jacket, but today he wanted to be close to him, without him suspecting anything.

"Well...why don't we do it, like we used to do, when we were younger? You don't have too tell me directly what the problem is, but you tell me a story instead", Changbin suggested and smiled at his best friend.

"But we aren't children anymore", Felix whined and looked at Changbin. The older boy just laughed.

"Do I need to remind you of our little pillow fight a few days ago?"

Felix sighed heavily and thought about, how to tell a story without confessing his feelings right away.

"Okay", he said and took a deep breath, "once, there were two friends. One of them has started to feel more than friendship towards the other and is scared to tell him. His heart would start to race every time he would see him and he is tempted to kiss him, whenever his friends face was near to his."

Felix' voice was shaking a bit and he avoided to look at Changbin at all cost - hoping he wouldn't figure out the connection between the story and his life.

"Hm...that sounds, as if one of the persons from your story is in love with his best friend." 

"Yeah. He is...", Felix sighed and fought with himself, if he should tell Changbin or not.

"That sounds sad...why doesn't he tell his best friend? Wouldn't it be easier for him?", Changbin asked and smiled at Felix.

"You think so?", Felix asked and fiddled with the hem of his hoodie.

"Sure...what if his best friend has feelings for him too?", Changbin asked, "Wouldn't it be unfair, that he doesn't know?"

"But when he has feelings for him too...why doesn't he tell him?"

Hyunjin couldn't bear it anymore and pushed himself inbetween Changbin and Felix.

"Yeah...why doesn't he tell him?", Hyunjin asked and looked at Changbin. The older boy was about to smack Hyunjin's head, but he didn't, because Felix was looking.

"Why do you look at Changbin when you say that, Hyung?"

a/n: I have literllay no idea where I'm going with this story, but I'll continue writing this. It just doesn't really make sense and doesn't really have a plot. I'm sorry ^^'

How do you like the story so far?
