Run to my Heart

Archery

The time came for Danceracha as Hyunjin, Minho, and Felix lined up with their bows and arrows for Archery.

The rest of the group were sitting from afar, watching them do their introductions. Chan in particular was keeping his eye on a certain someone.

Just when I thought he couldn't get cuter, the flower crown is icing on the cake

He smiled as he sat on the floor, watching Felix's every movement.

Chan continued to watch him as archery started, watching how adorable Felix looked as he sat nervously.

Claps and yells were heard as Minho scored high points. After some time, it was now Felix's turn.

Chan made sure to look and pay close attention, he hoped the younger would look back at him. But Felix was too focused on shooting.

Felix took a deep breathe, closing his eyes for a few seconds as he remembered their practice sessions. He was doing well with them, but that night after practice he was cuddled on Chan's bed in the dorms, still nervous.

Flashback

"Felix, what's wrong baby?" Chan said softly as he rubbed his back, Felix was cuddled on his chest. The older noticing how quiet he was.

"I'm just...nervous..."

"Nervous? About what?" Chan looked down to him.

"About...archery...." Felix mumbled.

"What? Why? You practically have been shooting perfect scores in practice" he lightly laughed.

Felix tilted his head to look at him.

"I know but...what if I slip up tomorrow...?" He pouted.

Chan lifted him to sit up, him shifting as well so their faces were inches apart.

"Lixie, sweetheart. Listen to me, I don't want you to overthink this. You're gonna do amazing, ok?" He pecked his lips before giving a small smile.

Felix looked down before back at Chan.

"Ok...thank you Channie...I love you" he started to smile.

"And I love you more my cute little archer"

Felix smiled to himself recalling last night's events.

Channie always knows how to make me feel better...

He took a deep breathe as he moved his bow and arrow into position.

I can do it...don't overthink....

He let the arrow go as he hit the 9 mark, earning claps and cheers from everyone.

Ok...a few more...

He shot his few more arrows before it was the last one. Taking a deep breath, he aligned his arrow.

One more...

And he let it go, watching as it felt like slow motion for the arrow to hit.

Once it did, he had to blink a few times.

No way...

"Lee Felix from Stray Kids hits a 10!"

Once of the judges announced.

Felix smiled to himself as he scored the highest mark, all of the group cheering.

As soon as they were done, Danceracha met up with the group again. Everyone cheering and screaming about their scores.

Felix ran up to Chan, hugging the life out of him as he spun him around.

"Channie! I did it! You see?" He smiled against his ears.

"I did beautiful, and I couldn't be prouder" he whispered back.

Chan pulled away to look at him.

"Told ya practice would make perfect" he winked to him.

"I know! And I didn't even practice that long" Felix giggled.

"Hmmm, don't know about that. I'd say you've been practicing for years" Chan teased.

Felix tilted his head in confusion.

"Years?" He questioned.

"Uh huh" Chan smiled before looking around to see everyone distracted.

He leaned in just a few inches to whisper to him.

"Yup, shooting arrows to my heart Lixie" he winked.

Felix stood there for a few seconds to comprehend what Chan just said, once he did his blush came back.

He looked to the side, smiling to himself.

How am I so lucky to have him...
