Who cares about Romance anyway?! [ChangLix] (Shortfic/completed)

Preparation

During the whole week, Felix replayed endlessly his talk with Chan in his head and a lot of questions were added to the previous ones. His friend had given him the possibility to see the situation in a new light. Everything seemed so different from the information he gave him...

He wasn't sure what to think about it, though. Could it be? Really? How come he never noticed?? Changbin and he had never been really close, true, but could he really have missed something so important?

Of course, Chan agreed right away to help him when he requested it. If it could solve both his friend's problems, then he would be an idiot not to agree. Even now that it seemed a bit more than he thought before.

Today was April 14th, also known as the non-famous Black Day in Korea.

Felix chose the date carefully, hoping it would help round everything off. He planned everything carefully, following his romanticist's heart. He hoped Changbin wouldn't misunderstand his intentions.

Changbin and Chan had their last class in common and for his favourite dongsaeng's sake, Chan planned to skip. Now, here with was for the lunch break, sitting next to Felix as he sent messages to Changbin.

With the pretext of an interview for a part-time job, he informed Changbin he wouldn't be able to attend and asked if he could drop by his flat to give him his notes. Changbin agreed easily, without suspecting anything.

Felix had left his dance team earlier than usual and rushed to his apartment to be there on time. True to his words, Chan had made everything he could to help and Felix was sure he couldn't thank him enough for everything he did for him.

"Are you sure it'll be fine hyung?" Felix asked, a bit worried.

"Of course. Changbin wants to understand more than anyone else," Chan smiled reassuringly.

Despite the reassurance, Felix didn't look more relieved and kept doubting.

He was ready to protest again, when Chan's phone rang once more and he showed proudly Changbin message, telling him he would be at their apartment at 7 PM.

"He is on the way. It's up to you now," Chan said.

Felix kept looking at the message for a long time as if it could answer all his questions. He let out a sigh.

"Okay. I have to anyway."

Chan came closer to him and patted his shoulder.

By the time the older stepped out of the apartment, Felix was completely freaking out. He tried to hide it as much as possible.

During half an hour, Felix waited for Changbin and couldn't stop pacing up and down in each room. When the sound of the doorbell resounded, Felix gulped and got ready.

"Come in," he greeted, his voice strangely higher with the stress.

When he pushed the door of the roommates' apartment, Changbin entered, slightly hesitant.

"Chan?" he called hesitantly from the entrance while taking off his shoes.

"Wrong Aussie, hyung," Felix said as he walked toward him.

Changbin froze in his spot, startled to find Felix in front of him through the corner of the corridor. Felix continued his steps and passed by Changbin to close the door.

"Come in," he invited again and Changbin scampered toward the living room without thinking.

From the living-room, Felix told him to sit, but Changbin didn't. He slowly seemed to sober up and cleared his throat.

"Where's Chan?" he asked, gripping the lash of his bag in front of his chest.

"Out," Felix answered evasively.

From the way Changbin winced awkwardly, he could guess he felt something was off, out of usual. Felix didn't know how to control his own anxiety and kept fidgeting. He tried to look more confident as he caught Changbin's eyes.

"I asked him to."

Changbin took a step back without really looking back at Felix. He checked around the room, trying to find a way to escape. He spotted the food on the kitchen's counter.

"Jajjangmyeon," he stated unsure.

"It's black Day," Felix replied shyly. "I thought about candles too, but I thought it might be too much, even for me."

"What are you trying to do?" Changbin's voice was controlled and a bit stern, but his hands were shaking.

"I..." Felix took a deep breath. "Please sit and let's eat first."

"I'm in no mood to listen to you, let alone have dinner with you, today out of all of the days." He turned around, ready to leave but Felix's outburst startled him.

"No! Wait! Listen to me!" the younger almost shouted. He cleared his throat to control his voice. "I can't let this become another misunderstanding between us," he added softly.

Changbin stared at his feet intensely, tilting from one side to the other.

"You don't have to believe me, but listen to me please."

Felix grabbed the sleeve of his hoodie, not daring to touch his arm. When the older finally turn to him, his fingers clenched tighter on the fabric.

.oO0°*°0Oo.

Do you guys know about Black day? if you don't, you can find it on Wikipedia, but basically, it's a day for single people to be alone together and maybe match at the end (and they eat jjajangmyeon)
