thirteen - stars

changbin woke up from the smell of waffles cooking. he became confused, but he was guessing that felix came back. he was hoping that it was felix.

"hyung!! i made waffles. i also need to talk to you after you eat" felix gave him a warm smile like nothing happened last night. "uh... okay." changbin started eating the waffles that felix placed on the table.

after changbin ate the waffles, they went to the rooftop because felix suggested it. "what are you going to explain?" changbin asked.

"i'm going to explain what happened last night and what's going to happen in a few days," felix said, seriously with a gulp at the end. changbin stood there in silence with his arms crossed. felix stated at the floor while he explains.

"i asked you that question because i'm stupid, i was stupid because i'm in love with you and i don't want to lose you." felix said, taking a glance at changbin, who was just staring at him as he explains.

"and? explain further. why are you afraid to lose me?" changbin asked. "because I'm going... away, soon." felix gulped as he looks at the boy. changbin's lips parted, looking concerned at the ghost.

"what do you mean?" the boy asked in fear of losing the ghost he fell in love with. "in a few days, i'm going to be sent to the stars. i'm going to be one of the stars, binnie hyung..." felix shred a tear.

"why... no, you can't. i don't want to lose you, lix." he took a step closer to the ghost. "i don't want to lose you too, but once a ghost finally becomes happy in their afterlife, they're going to be sent to the stars." felix said, leaving the boy speechless, not knowing whether he should be happy that he made the ghost happy or be sad that he's going to lose someone he loves.

"i... felix, i don't know anymore-" felix interrupted changbin. "you don't have to know." felix whispered as he walked towards changbin to hug him.

felix pulled out from the hug, seeing changbin tearing up. "when are you going?" changbin asked as he wipes his tears. "six days." felix looked away, not wanting to see the reaction of the boy who was already in pain.

"SIX DAYS?! no! that's too soon!" changbin complained. "i can't do anything about it!" he shouted at changbin. "she already said that she's taking me to the stars in six days." the ghost softened his voice. "who's she?" changbin asked curiously. "the one who's taking me to the stars." felix replied. changbin just hummed as a reply.

they went back to the apartment. changbin and felix were lying on the bed, they were thinking about similar things. if they were ever going to meet again, they think not but still hoped that they'd meet sometime in the stars.

changbin turned to felix. "i want to spend every moment with you in those six days." changbin whispered to felix. "so we will." felix weakly but warmly smiled at him. 

-

it's the day felix has to go. felix, changbin and she are on the rooftop. it's a quarter before midnight and they're spending their last moments together.

"i don't want to go." felix said to her. "felix, when you go, i promise you'll still be happy. you'll still be happy because at least you got to meet him. and i promise, you two were really meant to be." she said to the ghost who close to tears. "now, spend your last minutes together." she left after she said her lines.

"i'm going to miss you..." changbin softly said. "i'm going to miss you too." felix frowned, trying to hold his tears back while changbin was already tearing up a lot.

"i'm so in love with you." changbin looked deeply into felix eyes. he gulped from the heavy tension between them. "i know we've had a couple of arguments but, let's be honest, they were all just misunderstandings because i was too dumb and ignorant to even try to listen to you." he chuckled to lighten the mood. felix smiled, letting out a few tears.

"when you came into my afterlife, you made me feel overwhelmed with happiness. i felt like i was actually loved for the first time in years, i feel so lucky to have you. i don't want to go, i really don't want to, but i can't do anything about it." felix started trembling to the ground. "i'm so sorry." he wiped his tears.

changbin slightly widened his eyes when the ghost apologized for something he can't control. "you don't have to apologize, felix." the boy reached out his hand to help felix get up. felix took his hand and got up from the ground.

as soon as felix got up, he pulled in for a kiss. their lips crashed into each other, which made changbin surprised for a good second but he relaxed his body and let felix take control of the kiss. tears fell as the kiss started becoming deeper. "you're my favorite strawberry ghost." changbin whispered without breaking the kiss. those words made felix's smile in his tears.

they pulled out of the kiss. they had a few seconds to stare at each other's eyes, admires each other's beauty before she came back. "felix, i have to take you now." she said.

felix waved his last goodbye to changbin. changbin waved back, trying to stop crying. she took felix's hand and started flying away from him to the sky. changbin ran to try to reach for felix's hand. felix noticed that changbin was following them and held his hand while he flies away. they let go of each other once changbin reaches the edge of the rooftop.

"i love you, remember that!!" changbin shouted. "i will never forget the feeling of your love! i love you too!!" felix shouted back before he disappeared to the stars.
