"Lixxie loves Innie"

»»----- ✼ -----««

Jeongin couldn't sleep that night. Felix was curled into his side, head resting gently on the younger's chest and a pacifier hanging loosely from his lips. But Jeongin's heart was doing 50 in a 35 (he almost wanted to give his heart a ticket for going so far over the speed limit!) He was honestly amazed that Felix could sleep on his chest with his heart being so loud. Jeongin didn't know that the reason Felix liked sleeping on his chest so much was because his heart beat always helped him to sleep.

He couldn't help but wonder if this was all wrong. He couldn't help but wonder if when he woke up Felix would still be willing to be called his. He wondered if this was all just a dream. If it was a dream his mind was playing the sickest kind of a trick on him. This was the happiest Jeongin had felt in a while. He couldn't imagine not being this close to the younger in the morning.

Everytime he looked at the smaller he could see his whole future laid out before them. He could see himself growing old with Felix. He could see himself marrying Felix, holding Felix, loving Felix until their last days.

He did eventually fall asleep that night. He dreamt of all of the things he and Felix could do together. The life they could live together. The older was having similar dreams. His were only more fantastical.

Just as Jeongin had feared, he woke without Felix by his side. His heart shattered and his mind went blank.

How could his dreams do this to him? How was he ever going to look at Felix again? How was he supposed to hide these feelings from the older? How was he supposed to act as though he wasn't so completely and utterly in love with the older? He didn't know if he could do it.

Jeongin continued to think as he took a shower, but showers always cause ones brain to work in more mysterious ways. He was beginning to accept the fact that everything was a dream and that he was going to have to leave the group so he didn't interfere with future plans, but then he came across one of Felix's little blankets outside the bathroom door as he exited in his outfit for the day.

On his way to the living room he passed Changbin, a dark purple and blue bruise forming on his cheek bone. So maybe it hadn't been a dream. He and Felix actually went on a date. He and Felix shared a kiss. He and Felix shared a bed (not that it was the first time, but they were closer now).

Jeongin did a quite cheer for his luck, earning a glare from a very contemptuous Changbin. The youngest didn't care though, he was plenty happy just thinking about how he could greet Felix that morning. Luckily, he heard his favourite little giggle coming from the kitchen.

When Felix had gotten up that morning, he did get to wake up with the presence of the younger. He didn't want to be creepy, but he couldn't help but stare at Jeongin for a good five minutes. He never got to wake up before Jeongin so now was the time to admire his sleeping caregiver because it might never happen again. Felix was mainly trying to figure out why he found so much comfort and safety around him.

When Felix decided that he still didn't understand any of what his brain was doing, he pecked Jeongin's forehead and walked into the main room. There were only two people in the room. Changbin and Minho. The man that he was trying to lose feelings for, and the man that liked to tickle his tummy and call him baby doll.

Felix, reminding himself of what Jeongin had said and why Changbin was so bad for him, walked right past the shorter and sat himself down in the lap of his "Prince MinMin". He wanted to rant about how much fun he had with Jeongin and how sweet he was and how his dream laid out.

Of course, in the middle of talking about the cafe and how Jeongin carried him around or how he talked to Prince in a cute baby voice, Minho got hungry, but he did want to leave Felix alone with the triangle shaped trashbin, so he moved Felix off his lap to stand before picking him up to move him to a kitchen counter.

So now, while Minho made breakfast, Felix told him about the date. Minho listened to everything. He wanted Felix to know that he cared about his life.

"MinMin, he kissed me!" Chirped Felix, now kicking his legs. He was so happy. "And it was so soft and he was so gentle—"

"I'm leaving." Changbin called from the living room, clearly in a huff.

Felix was very confused, and almost sad because he knew he still had some feelings for the older.

"Keep going, Lix, he's just being pissy." Felix and Minho laughed at the comment, Felix's soft giggle attracting Jeongin.

He grinned when he saw the taller, holfing his arms out to him and making grabby hands to pull him closer. The younger boy moved to stand in between Felix's legs, pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead.

"Morning, Kitten." He muttered, hiding his face in the crook of Felix's neck, placing a gentle kiss on the skin between his neck and shoulder.

Minho paid no mind to the couple as he and Jisung used to do that kind of a thing when they first got together. Now they could deal with just sitting next to each other and that would be all the affection they needed for the day.

Jeongin eventually glanced at Minho after almost giving Felix a hickey. Minho couldn't help but shake his head at the two as he plated his breakfast.

"Don't have too much fun there, kid. You're both too young for that kind of a thing." He teased even though he knew damn well that Jisung wasn't much older than Jeongin and Felix yet they'd been going at it since debut.

Jeongin took it as a joke, ruffling Felix's pastel hair, noting how the older's roots were growing in.

"Don't worry, Hyung. I'm not going to do anything if Felix doesn't want me to." He admitted, pressing a gentle kiss to the older's forehead, causing the towhead to fluster up a soft red.

Jeongin began making his and Felix's breakfast. The same as usual. Heart shaped eggs. Some bacon. Celery and peanut butter. And just like usual, Jeongin fed Felix and himself before washing the dishes and putting them away.
