"I don't want to see you!"
"What...?"
Chan froze as he stilled at Felix's words.
"Lix...did I do something to hurt you...?" Chan asked with worry as he looked into Felix's teary eyes.
The younger looked back into Chan's wanting so badly to tell him the truth.
You hurt my heart...because you don't want me...the way I want you...the way I'm starting to fall for you...
That's what he wanted to say, but his pride being too strong didn't.
"N-no..." he mumbled looking down.
Chan let his wrists free as he cupped his cheeks.
"Then why are you crying...? Why don't you want to see me?" Chan asked softly.
I'm crying because I want us to be real...
Especially when you're nice to me like this...But instead Felix made up another lie.
"I-I'm just stressed with my school..." he sniffled.
"School...? Ok...is that all...?" Chan asked wiping his tears away.
"Y-yes..."
"Oh...ok then...I'm sorry I came and disturbed you..." Chan said pulling away as he reached to gently stroked his hair.
It was things like that, that gave Felix hope that Chan felt more for him...felt more than physical connection.
"It's fine I guess...why did you keep calling anyways...?" Felix looked up at him wiping away stray tears.
"Well...I called you at first to find out if you wanted to get dinner again...but then I realized you were crying so I was worried something happened to you" Chan said with a small blush looking down.
"Oh...you were...worried...?"
Felix got his hopes up as he asked.
I care so much about you Felix...
"Well, who else is going to set my schedules for the week" Chan said plainly instead still hiding his emotions.
Felix's heart stopped fluttering hearing that.
Mark was right...I was too...he really doesn't feel the same...
"Oh, well thanks for checking I guess..." Felix tried giving a small smile.
"And I wanted you in my bed with me tonight" Chan smirked.
How did I know he would say something like that...
Felix let out a deep breath, finally accepting the fact of what their relationship was, it was nothing more than to pay his debt to Chan.
He knew what Mark said was true, but he decided to keep going with it. At this point he was now emotionally attached to Chan even if the older didn't care or noticed.
He'd rather keep sleeping with Chan knowing it would lead nowhere for a relationship, because he knew at this point...cutting Chan out of his life would be the same at heartbreak....

The days and weeks went by as it always has, the same routine of sleeping with Chan. Something did change however though, most nights now Felix stayed over.
What surprised him was one of the nights he was over, Chan told him something he wasn't expecting.
"You...what...?"
