"You awake, love?" Felix shook his head rapidly, head fuzzy. The music once singing him to sleep was gone, being replaced by mumbled apologies as people began exiting the plane. Felix had only woken up to get drinks and to browse on his phone for a little bit, looking through memes as Chris rested on his shoulder. 

The isle was full now, people grabbing their luggage from overhead and rushing off the crowded plane. Felix locked eyes with Chris, giving him a sleepy smile as the older ruffled his hair. "Now I am, asshole," Felix joked, making Chris snicker.

"You know you love me," he whispered, kissing his head as the passengers in front of them began gathering their things. Felix just giggled, relishing in the bubbly feeling he still got when Chris did things like that.

The couple finally stood up, legs weak and numb from sitting so long, jumping at the opportunity to steal some of the ever-decreasing room in the aisle. They snatched their bags from under and over their seats, leaning against each other. Their patience started running thin, the crowd not dying down quick as they stood still in the plane for a good fifteen minutes.

As Felix began dozing off again, he felt a small tug at his sleeve. He looked over his shoulder, thinking he left something in his eat and needed to go back a couple of feet to get it.

To his surprise, he saw a small girl, probably around 4 or 5, holding a Powerpuff Girls plushie close to her side and wearing a cute yellow dress. Felix just grinned to the little kid, finding the sight adorable. She kept looking up to him with adorable puppy dog eyes, almost looking to ask something.

She finally uttered, "I like your guys's hair." Chris turned around at this, finding Felix already gushing at the sound of her voice. The couple smiled widely, crouching slightly to meet her gaze. Felix spied her mother right behind her, who had two babies in her arms, both crying as she struggled to get all their stuff.

Chris exclaimed a, "Thank you so much!" before leaning into Felix's ear and whispering, "Talk to her for a little bit. I'll help the mom with the luggage." Felix nodded, noticing the line moving forward slightly as the mom wrestled with the luggage still.

He bent down to the little girl, grabbing the small girl by the hand that was previously tugging at his sleeve. "Can I tell you a secret?" Felix asked, building anticipation. The little girl lit up with excitement, Chris working behind the scenes to talk to the mom. Felix moved backwards slightly, glancing behind him as he moved to at least slightly keep up with the now slowly-moving line. He finally rested in one place, leaning down into the young girl's ear. "Well, I'm gonna dye it blond once we get back to Korea."

The sweet child gasped, throwing her hands over her mouth in shock. Felix nodded, almost as if she had tried to prove him wrong. She reached up and ran her hand over his silver hair, breathing out a quiet, "Wowww," as she did so.

Felix just internally awwed at this, smiling way too hard for his own health. 'If Chris and I don't have as cute of kids as this girl then I don't want it. Wait, we've literally known each other for like four months! I need to shut up. I'm not even talking-' After that long string of thoughts, Felix just settled with holding out his hand, still backing up as he saw Chris take some of the luggage. "Well, my name is Felix. What's yours?"

The little girl shook his hand, Felix's not being much bigger than hers, exclaiming, "My name is Hyunjin! Nice to meet you too!!" Felix tried so hard not to laugh; not at her name, just at the chance he could meet someone with the same name as one of his friends.

Just as they let go, Chris walked forward with the little girl's mom, holding a whole bodybag of luggage along with two backpacks and a diaper bag. 'Ahh, yes. My gym junkie boyfriend benefits me once again,' Felix thought to himself, snickering slightly. Felix reached over the small girl to take Chris's backpack off of his hands, to which the latter sighed with relief. The mom held her two calm babies in front of her, clearly trying to work with the little room she had. "Thank you two so much. I'm sorry I'm kinda overloaded right now."
