Mistake [Changlix]

Seven

Okay, the day came.

Changbin was going to ask Felix to officially be his boyfriend. Changbin was dying of nervousness and also angry. Because he knew that everything he'd planned would be ruined at the end because it would start to rain, but as long as he could be with Felix, it was okay.

It was Sunday and they were supposed to go and have dinner outside, near Banpo Bridge.

Woojin looked at him while he tried to get the sleeves of his shirt rolled up, which wasn't working out very well. Woojin chuckled.

"Come here," he said, and Changbin moved closer, still battling with his sleeves. Woojin put Changbin's hands away and started rolling the sleeves himself, "For years, I've been the only friend you've had. And now, look at you, hours away from asking Felix to be your boyfriend," Woojin finished with the right sleeve and went to the left one. "I really feel like a proud father but, I didn't even know you were gay," Woojin laughed.

"Look, I thought I was asexual before looking into Felix's eyes. After that, I knew I wasn't," and even when Changbin's words sounded worthy of a joke, there were no signs of mockery in his tone.

"That is the most cutesy thing I've ever heard you say," Woojin commented, finishing with the left sleeve and letting Changbin go.

"But it's the truth," Changbin answered him, with a bittersweet taste on his mouth after saying so.

Changbin went to pick Felix up at his dorm. They had coordinated to go in a taxi since none of them had a car, and going on a bus was too... it just didn't go with Changbin's idea of what his declaration would be. Felix and Hyunjin were roommates, reason why Changbin didn't get surprised when Hyunjin opened the door after he knocked on it.

"Oh, Changbin!" Hyunjin exclaimed and hug him, "Felix! Changbin is here!" He screamed after, and Changbin could hear how something fell in somewhere inside the apartment.

"I'm going!" He heard Felix answer and then something else falling onto the floor, followed by a 'fuck' that Hyunjin and Changbin couldn't help but laugh to.

"Can you go and help him? I don't mind waiting a bit," Changbin asked Hyunjin, who nodded with a smile and left him in the living room.

Changbin sat down on the couch and contemplated the bright presence of Felix in his life, remembering those little moments they'd had together. And when Felix walked into the living room, Changbin didn't gasp right there because he choked on air instead. Felix ran to him and started patting his back.

"Are you okay, Binnie?"

He called me Binnie! And Changbin coughs got worse with that.

"You are indeed going to kill Changbin, Lix," Hyunjin said, appearing out of nowhere chuckling, handing a glass of water to Changbin.

Felix ignored him and when Changbin's coughs calmed down, they left the house walking to the outside of what was the apartment complex where Felix and Hyunjin lived.

"You look amazing," Changbin said to Felix, the younger one blushed.

"Thanks," he muttered, "You too," he said and Changbin smiled at him.

Changbin knew that Felix wasn't really a timid person, but whenever he told him any kind of compliment, he would blush. Which on Changbin's eyes, was the cutest thing ever.

They walked in silence to the entrance, where the taxi was supposedly waiting for them already and were left at the restaurant minutes later. It was a pretty restaurant where they both had contributed with the money to pay for it. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, the food was delicious and any evening with Felix was a gift. But honestly, what Changbin cared about wasn't really the restaurant or the fancy food, the important part was what came after that.

When they left the restaurant and crossed the streets towards the riverside of Banpo Bridge, where the lights were already turned on and the beautiful rainbow fountain shone brightly. It was a view that would leave anybody in awestruck, too beautiful, to magic. Too perfect for the occasion. And once again, Changbin didn't pay attention to what he knew would happen. He just let things run smoothly in any way they wanted to go, he was just feeling happy and overjoyed by the fact that Felix was sitting next to him, sharing the view that both of them were so fascinated by.

And that's why when it started to rain, Changbin cursed under his breathe.

"Let's get covered under that bus stop," Felix suggested, talking about a small bus stop at only a few meters behind them.

Changbin sighed and nodded, both of them half running half walking towards the stand. The rain wasn't strong yet, reason why they really didn't rush to cover themselves. The lights of the bridge were still on, looking just as beautiful through the rain as they had looked before.

And looking at them, Changbin thought that it didn't matter if it was raining or not. It was just water. He got up from the bench he was sitting next to Felix, and taking the hand of the taller one, he left the safety of the bus stop. Felix didn't complain as the water started to drench both of them, pouring over their clothes and hair. Changbin stopped walking when he was right in front of the river, where the lights illuminated everything and the water falling disrupted the calm of its surface.

It was already dark and the river looked almost black. Black that was showered with vibrant colors.

Felix and Changbin were standing one in front of each other, no more than a meter away. Changbin let go of the younger's hand and placed his hand on Felix's cheek, feeling the warmth that was still there and pulling him closer. Felix stepped closer to him, grabbing Changbin's waist with a delicate grip. Their foreheads touched.

"I really like you, hyung," Felix whispered and Changbin felt himself float away.

"I like you too," he said, and stroke Felix's cheek with mesmerizing care. "The reason I wanted us to come here today, is because I want to make this official, Lix. I want to be able to kiss you and hold your hands freely. I want to be able to say that you, such an amazing and marvelous person, are my boyfriend and my everything. I want to belong to you for as long as it lasts and I just—"

Felix kissed him.

And Changbin wasn't complaining about not finishing his Shakespeare-like speech, he preferred it that way. Changbin wasn't thinking or measuring his actions. He was feeling. Feeling so intensively that he swore he could've died right there, with Felix's face held by his hands and himself being inside of Felix's arms. Like an entire fireworks show exploding inside of him, feeling everything with different tones, sounds, and shapes.

Was he following the script? Was he not? He didn't know; he didn't care.
