rainbow boy - minsung

listen up

but the bell rang and of course we would head to the rest of our normal schedules. i couldn't help but watch hyunjins face squint a bit with a sharp exhale as he stood and threw his backpack over his shoulder. was he in another fight? he wasn't even here yesterday! maybe he beat up the fools who messed with felix.

or maybe it was something else he was keeping tucked away.

------------------------------------------

i was concerned for hyunjin for the next few days. he hadn't been eating or  acting like his normal jock self at the table. he wasn't getting into fights or starting trouble. his grades were a bit lower than average as his B's and C's easily turned to D's.

i was worried if this was all because of me... how bad was i damaging hyunjin. he was physically hurt and aching on his hip. he walked with a limp and groaned when he sat or stood. he slowly would hand out his meals to others at the table.

i couldn't help but think if this issue was linked to mine or something completely different. when hyunjin beat me up that one day i recovered in less than a week. but i was only in pain for the rest of that night... he was in pain several days. the day was friday now. tonight was the sleepover as well.

the table was a bit different. minho was quiet. seungmin was studying a lot as he didn't have anyone to be his normal talkative self with. emma was lost in thought easier. felix was presenting himself more masculine. and changbin was never here this week.

chris and i seemed to be the normal ones. but i feel that's because emmas been putting on a show for him to make sure he's ok. i think i was a bit off too. i was rather silent as well and picked at my food when normally i'd down it quicker than you'd think.

suddenly stomps had approached the table. a smaller man with a little box and a rolled up poster approached our table. he was in a white t-shirt and overalls.

no way in hell was that changbin. he never in a million years would dress soft like that. but he was for some reason? he politely moved seungmin out of the way to open a spot between him and felix.

"ALRIGHT LADIES LISTEN UP." he growled through the lunch room. and trust me all eyes were on the attention seeking teenager.

"THANK YOU. NOW." he looked down at felix. making an "ahem."

"this. is my friend felix." he announced. "and to whatever insecure attention seeking dumbass is making fun of him for being him, you can fix yourself and attempt to get through me before you try and say something to him EVER again. you hear me?!" changbins voice rasped like a lions roar through the big open room. everyone gave a little round of applause.

the group of boys who was making fun of felix easily stood out with eye rolls and scoffs. but they looked like they gave up.

felix's eyes lit up. his cheeks were red. i couldn't tell if he was embarrassed or blushing. maybe a mix of both. "bin, what are you doing?" he whispered.

"trust me, lix." he quickly replied back.
"now. i want you all to note that this torture to this innocent and adorable human being only happened after rumors of felix liking boys. i mean everyones lover boy lee minho came out to everyone here right? so why the HELL... is felix any different." changbins voice got serious. he meant every word he said. you could also hear minho through in a little "woohoo!" at the mention of his name in support of changbins speech.

"now. with that said. i, changbin, a heterosexual male, have a question i think everyone needs to hear asked." he turns to felix, handing him a box about the size of a piece of paper and unrolling the poster.

"lee felix. i know your gay... but. will you go straight to prom with me?" changbin announces, opening up a poster with those exact words. doodles of rainbows, hearts, and smiley faces filled the page as if he put effort into this. maybe that's were he was these past few days, preparing all this.

felix opened up the box before him. matching flower crowns were inside. his eyes lit up like little sunshine's as a smile went across his face accompanied by tears of joy. the boys put on the flower crowns and felix stood up.

"yea..." he used his tiny finger to wipe a tear and leaned against changbin for a hug. "i'll go with you."
the room filled with applause and happiness. you could see the bullies get up and leave too.

changbin had a bit of power in this school with how intimidating he could be, although in reality as his friend, hes annoying as hell. but this was the cutest thing to happen all week! i loved seeing little promposals going around and this was truly the cutest one yet.

although the question was cheesy as hell i loved what changbin did for felix.

after the cheers died down and the moment ended seungmin patted the empty room beside him for changbin to take his spot and sit with felix. the two shared a moment. i just watched in awe and joy for the two boys.

"way to go, lix!" emma congratulated.
"that was adorable, binnie!" seungmin added.

"bin you really didn't have to... you could've embarrassed yourself or been made fun of or-" felix panicked. changbin just kept making "shhh" noises til felix shut up.

"felix i may not like you back as a boyfriend, but i will always love you as a friend. that was for you. i don't regret it at all." changbin stated. you could tell felix was easily intimidated by the boy.

these words sounded a lot like what i had been telling minho. and hearing someone else say it to another person just makes me realize how easy this whole situation would've been if i just shared the truth.

the only difference between changlix and minsung here was that one was a field. it was pretty and you could easily find your way through. it was a love story that could come true . and the other ... the other was a maze. but at the end there would not be a prize.

but a disaster.
