I think I like you (Minlix) [EN]

Felix couldn't avoid his tears to flow, and he opened his arms and caught Minho in them. He could hug him, now. He didn't know why and Minho neither but they were just embracing each other tightly. "It's you. It's been so long... Thank you"... Minho didn't understand, he drew back and was looking at Felix. "Wait... your hair... your low voice..."

Minho couldn't believe it.

Felix neither.

"You did what you forbid me to do", Felix was crying. "Your eyes are sweating", laughed Minho. Felix giggled "why didn't you ask me help? Why didn't you talk to me?" "I couldn't, you were down because you were bullied, I was mad because I was popular. I would have been really selfish talking to you about my stupid shit", Minho was upset by himself. "It's not stupid if you was that sad, furthermore, you can't compare two situations completely different. I feel bad you did that... I feel so bad... You saved me... you saved me and I didn't even try to save you", Felix hugged Minho anew. "You couldn't save me because I didn't show my feelings, I think I didn't want to be saved... But I'm really happy to know you're alive because of me. I'm really happy if I saved you", Minho was holding the youngest tightly.

"Felix, we're back! How was your day?", Felix' mum opened his room's door and Felix moved away from Minho. His mum couldn't see him, obviously, but it would be weird if Felix was holding the air. "Yeah, and yours?", answered Felix, a bit embarrassed. "Fine, thanks. Are you okay?", his mother was looking at him closely "oh my god, Felix? Why is your lip injured like this?". His father entered the room as well, Minho wasn't really comfortable. "Felix, you're weak or what? Why didn't you defend yourself?", his father's voice was cold. "Why do you think I didn't defend myself? Maybe I hit the first and he's even more hurt?", Felix was feeling bad, really bad. And angry. "Because we know how much you're weak, cry baby". Felix' eyes opened widely "how did you call me?" he clenched his fists. "Cry baby, Felix. You're just good at crying", his mother add. Minho hugged Felix, in a way Felix couldn't move, because he understood he could beat his parents and it wasn't the best thing to do.

His parents left his room. Felix had tears in his eyes but he kept them, he didn't want to cry. He wasn't a cry baby. "He called me like that...", stuttered Felix. "Who?" "The guy who wanted to rape me the other day... he called me like that, cry baby", Felix was livid. "Wait... someone tried to... rape you? Lix... what are you saying? Who? Tell me who, please?" "You probably don't know him, and you couldn't do anything even if you do...". Minho intertwined their fingers carefully "I'm here, okay? Lix, I'm here and I'll always be". "You can't promise that, Minho. Just, think a minute. If you weren't dead? Maybe you're in a coma? Maybe you'll be awake soon and you'll disappear", Felix was caressing Minho's hand with his thumb, looking away. "I thought about that... and I think it could be right. And so? If I wake up, I'll find you!" "You promise?" "I promise".
