the power of words [nct x stray kids] [johnny x felix]✅

"wait, what? just to make sure i'm understanding this correctly, you snuck into the languages building and he then danced for you just to leave with some cryptical 'let's meet again'?"

"exactly."

"never thought i'd witness the moment when taeyong would say something more educated than you, johnny," doyoung commented on their conversation.

the three of them were currently walking across campus to their shared philosophy class and talked about johnny's encounter with felix the night before.

to say the other two were excited for him was an understatement.

doyoung was quick to continue, though: "also it's amazing to see how you get your first dick in an eternity."

"well, i rather wait for my dick, or anything for that matter, than to fuck with my boyfriend the second i see him," johnny retorted. he really liked joking around with his friend like that.

"don't talk about brian like that!" doyoung replied, pouting. he just loved brian, whose real name was younghyun, but only doyoung was allowed to call him by his english name, for more than just his dick, okay? (his dick was worth it, though, but shhht.)

"well, you must admit you love talking about your sex life," taeyong chimed in, loving how worked up doyoung became. teasing the other guy was just too much fun.

"i didn't say it wasn't worth talking about, but that's besides the point," the guy in question smirked. "anyways, back to the topic at hand: johnny's little crush. when are you going to get into his pants again?"

"i'm not crushing on him!" the tallest of the three guys defended himself, not convincing anyone.

"you are!" his friends smiled loudly in unison.

"seriously, why am i friends with you guys again?"

"because you love us," taeyong said, holding the door to the languages building open since they had arrived there. "after you, lover boy."

"dammit."

"kahlil gibran once said something that has really stuck with me ever since i heard it, and it was basically the reason why i started to love the mystery of words so much: 'poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary'. i really love that quote and it means a lot to me. thank you all for listening."

with that, johnny left the podium in front of their lecture hall, closing his report on the origins of poetry. researching the topic had meant a lot to him and also brought him lots of fun, but it was when he looked into the class that he saw something, or someone, that he knew he couldn't have chosen a better time to present his results.

johnny spotted a young guy with vibrant red hair that looked very sweet yet also mischievous, and he recognized him as the guy he had always seen felix with.

johnny wanted to talk to him, and seeing that the guy was in his philosophical lecture, he might use that to his advantage, which is why he waited at the door after the lecture had ended.

"you're friends with felix, right?"
