I think I like you (Minlix) [EN]

They were looking at each other, a bit weirdly since they didn't know a lot about the other one, but Felix broke the silence, "can you touch me?". Minho winced "I don't wanna have sex with you!". Felix sighed "No, I mean, like hugs or something?". Minho thought for a while "I don't really know since you're the first person seeing me". Right after, Minho tried touching Felix' shoulder but he went through, like with the table. Felix was obviously frustrated, he hoped he found someone to cuddle with. "Why do you seem that sad?", Minho asked, a bit too much perceptive for Felix. "I just wanted a hug, it's been a while nobody hugged me..." Felix was looking away. Minho hummed "Your parents neither?", Felix shook his head, "Oh... not a great life, right? You know, when I was... alive, firstly, but when I was your age, I was really loved at school. I was the popular guy, everybody wanted to be friend with me. But the thing is I wanted to be more... myself, and I couldn't because nobody wants to see who is the real person. Not nobody but the fake friends and lovers didn't want to, they didn't care. What they wanted was only the popular guy with his bright smile and cool clothes. I am not that guy, I'm just... I'm weird, and before, I was the bullied student. I was the faggot of the school, but then I decided to change. I didn't want to be like that forever. I kissed girls, drank alcohol, I was smoking and I just... became someone I didn't want to be. But I thought I was happy like that. And then, I couldn't handle all this shit, all those fake smiles. I just... I mean, yeah. I crossed the road and... you know what..." Minho was looking at the floor during all his speech but he lifted his head to look at Felix' eyes, "you know what I'm trying to explain you, right? Be yourself, even if it's hard, because wearing a mask all your life is even harder".
