Felix's eyes squinted open, the sun blinding him instantly, not helping the growing pain in his head. He groaned, turning to only find himself in bed again, which was a distinct difference between the first time he got blackout drunk at the dorms. Noticing this, he just snuggled into the pillow below him, comfy and warm as ever. He felt an arm snake around him, only warming him up more as he stuck his hand out, feeling a bare torso in front of him. 

Felix's eyes shot open, sitting up immediately as his eyes adjusted to the environment. 'WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO-'

"Hey, baby. You okay?" Felix locked eyes with Chris and sighed heavier than he thought he would, falling back in bed to snuggle his boyfriend closer. Chris just let out a tired chuckle, holding the younger closer. "I take it you don't remember anything?"

"All I remember is Jisung questioning my godly abilities," Felix murmured, moving away from Chris slightly to rub his eyes. The latter just ruffled his hair, letting his hands tangle into his hair as Felix leaned into his touch like a cat.

"Okay, then let me summarize," Chris started, sitting up crisscrossed and facing Felix, who was still laying with Chris's hand in his hair. "Okay, so Minho, Changbin, Seungmin, and I were all just hanging out in here and absolutely vibing to some music, right? Well, the four of YOU start yelling for us to open up. Given it was 11PM, we complied and you, Jisung, Hyunjin, and Jeongin all waddled in, clearly intoxicated. How you all walked here without hurting yourself or others? I'm still clueless about that, but Hyunjin and Jeongin were crying - and I mean sobbing - about how cute the other one was, and you and Jisung were asking Minho and me who we thought was the better chugger. Minho took Jisung back to his place at 2AM and then we fucked but on a separate note it's 12PM and our flight is in three hours so we should probably get up."

Felix shot up, rushing to just wardrobe only to stumble in pain and dizziness and fall onto his bed. Chris laughed, getting up slowly to get an outfit ready as well. Felix just pushed himself off the bed, limping sluggishly to get his clothes as he pondered his existence in dread.

They both already had their bags packed, so they quickly grabbed their shit and texted everyone, telling them to meet the couple at the airport. Felix just wore a yellow sweatshirt as Chris wore a white one, both adorning black jeans and Adidas. They hauled their bags and suitcases down the steps, waving to Soyeon, who seemed to have another girl with her behind the desk. Felix prayed it was either an intern or her fiancée, knowing that the nurse deserved to get more sleep.

Chris and Felix yeeted their bags into the backseats after pushing their suitcases in the trunk, hopping into Chris's car at hyperspeed as they started the engine. The car started, rushing out of the parking lot.

Felix sighed, hitting his head on the headrest as he took out his phone, plugging it into the AUX. He looked to Chris for any recommendations, only seeing his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes focused on the road. He looked stressed. Felix thought of an idea and searched up Chris's '80s playlist on Spotify, quickly pressing Patience by Guns n Roses. He had found out quickly through many nights of both of them staying up for school work that the song calmed the older.

Chris's grip on the wheel instantly loosened, leaning back into his seat slightly as a small smile rose on his face. Felix giggled. He loved that face; it let him know that his boyfriend was okay for that moment, and that's all he could ask for. "Hey. We're okay right now, okay baby?"

"Gotcha, Angel," Chris replied, placing a hand in Felix's as Felix set up the rest of the queue for the drive.

They eventually made it to the airport, finding the Minho and Jisung waiting for them just before customs. The others had texted them on the drive there that they couldn't make it due to hangovers and other commitments, but they wished them well. The couple smiled ear-to-ear, watching their friends stand up. Jisung instantly ran to his friend, tackling him in a hug, almost making Felix topple over due to both the chipmunk-lookalike and his bags. He hugged back right after, though, tightening his grip on the older like a boa constrictor. "I'm gonna miss you so much, baby bro," Jisung said honestly, pulling the Australian impossibly closer.

"I'll miss you, too... but also you're only a day older than me."

"IT'S ENOUGH!" Jisung yelled, making the two laugh hysterically as they loosened their grips. They finally both pulled apart after a good minute of small silence. Jisung turned to Chris, eyes narrowed. "Take care of my brother or someone will end up in a mysterious accident," Jisung threatened, just making the three laugh as the Aussies held hands.

"I'm sure it won't be an issue, chipmunk," Chris joked, ruffling Felix's hair. Felix just closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling.

"Have fun you two. We'll miss you guys," Minho bidded, holding Jisung's hand in his as they began walking backwards. The other couple quickly returned the gesture as they made their way into customs, finding they only had an hour and a half to get through customs and find their gate.

Felix threw his hoodie over his head, rushing into the corner seat of the row as Chris followed suite. The silver-haired man already had their headphones and his phone out, almost at full-charge, knowing that the eleven hours inside the metal contraption was gonna be hell without it. Chris rolled his eyes, but grabbed his set and plugged in.

Chris pulled Felix's right earbud out, leaning into his ear briefly to whisper, "This will be great, I promise," before putting it back in Felix's ear. The latter simply blushed and nodded, smiling sleepily, as the hangover hadn't worn off as much as he hoped it would. Customs didn't help.

"I know, baby. I know." And, just as Creep by Radiohead started playing, Felix's eyes fluttered shut as he rested his head on Chris's shoulder, his mind empty besides one thought that rested peacefully in his mind.

'Anything is great if it's with you.'
