Felix dropped the phone, laying on the bed with a warm feeling. He likes Chan’s breaks when they can exchange comfy words. He missed him so much, but understood that it was his job. Sometimes it was hard, however nothing would be able to separate them. And neither Abby, their newly adopted kitten.
But... What was that? A gift? What was he thinking? Felix's mind started working on a lot of possibilities. Did he comment about wanting anything recently?
He mumbled. He doesn't remember.
Abby climbed onto the bed, looking at him with her two-colored eyes.
"Hey Abby, Chris sent kisses", he greeted, smiling, perfectly used to the way she turned her back on him. Cute .
Felix doesn't have too much to do. Actually, he had nothing to do. It was Sunday, his day off, and the lazy feeling spreading through his bones was strong enough to ignore even his favorite series — plus Chris would feel betrayed if he knew he saw a few episodes without him.
Hugging a pillow, he is aware that his neediness would be stronger that day. Maybe he should call Seungmin? Play something to distract himself? Huh... but he knew that Seungmin probably would be with Minho and he didn't want to disturb them, even though they said he never did. Hyunjin wouldn't be online today either, having told him he'd be at his grandparent's house, so he decided to read his comics — for the thousandth time.
He spent hours doing this until heard a knock at the door. He got up quickly, straightening his long T-shirt and checking that his hair wasn't a complete mess.
The delivery man was punctual, asking to sign a paper and wishing him a good afternoon. Felix was enthusiastic, so he opened the package quickly — Abby soon appeared to hog the cardboard box, by the way.
Felix’s mouth opened while his eyes filled with tears for a few seconds, extremely moved. Without thinking twice, he ran to his phone again.
Lix:
IT'S BEAUTIFUL
IT'S CUTE AND WARM
I LOVED IT
The messages didn't reach, but he didn't have time to be upset about it. He sniffed the sweater and rubbed it across his cheeks, hurrying to wear it.
His mirror reflection was perfect. The green color matched his skin. He wanted to get out on the streets right now, enjoy the fresh air to display his new sweater. The sweater given to him by his boyfriend. He sent Chris a photo before carefully removing the clothing, setting it for washing.
Lix:
Seriously, this is the best gift ever!!!
I love you! thank u <333
Christopher took a while to reply. Felix had already eaten, washed and dried his new sweater in the dryer, cleaned Abby's sandbox, and played games on his cellphone. The notification appeared in the middle of his search for a cake he could make, and he opened it without hesitation.
Chris babe:
awwww how can you be so lovely?
I fall in love again you’re my everything
Lix:
you’ll make me blush!
you’re the pretty one of this relationship, not me
Chris babe:
*angry emoji*
your beauty completes mine, so we are a perfect couple
But… did you like it?
Lix:
yes yes yes!!!
Chris babe:
good, baby :)
oh, I have one more gift, I almost forgot
Lix:
more???
Chris babe:
yes!
ten minutes
be ready
Lix:
I’m gonna have a heart attack
Ten minutes passed while Felix was pacing about. Abby slept, not caring about his nervousness, but lifting her head as he hurried to answer the door.
No way.
His body became a mixture of euphoria and disbelief, hoping that the scene in front of him wasn't a mere mirage coming from his need.
"Well... Can I have a hug or something?"
Felix jumped into Chris's arms, breathing his fragrance as if he needed it to live. The hug was so hard that Chris almost fell to the ground, dropping his bags to catch him.
"That's so unfair!" he whined, "Why didn't you tell me you were back?"
"I wanted to surprise my beautiful boyfriend." Chris chuckled, caressing Felix’s freckled face. "I missed you so bad, Lixie."
Felix didn't give Chris any more words to utter when he crashed their lips together, kissing him as if the elder was oxygen and he was in the middle of an asthma attack.
"Wait, baby boy." He whispered, pushing the bags inside to lock the door, colliding their lips again, breaths and tongues shuffling among themselves.
"I love you." Felix murmured breathless, holding the pretty face close.
"I love you too, baby." Chan distributed several kisses on his face, sliding to Felix’s pretty jaw. "But, uh, you didn't notice anything?"
"Uh? What?"
It took a few seconds to notice Chris's top clothes.
"Wah, it's the same! Wait! Is it a couple outfit?" Felix was really surprised, but genuinely happy. "Oh, Chris, you're so adorable!"
"Really? You don't think that is… cringe?"
"No! No, never. I think that's cute."
Chris took a relieved breath.
"I was ready to say that it was a joke." he laughed shyly. "Glad you liked it."
"Are we going out then?"
"Not now, I guess. I'm..."
"Oh, of course. You're tired. Are you hungry? I can cook for you!"
"Nah, don't worry. I'll just take a shower, ok?"
"Are you sure?"
"If you want to do something for me, why don't you grab a blanket and put our series on TV? You didn't watch it without me, right?"
"No, never!"
"Good."
Felix did exactly this. He turned on Netflix and took a light blanket and ran to prepare two hot chocolates while Chris was in the bathroom. At the stove, he felt Abby rubbing his legs and obviously couldn't ignore her, reaching down and patting her ears briefly.
After everything was ready, he put the mugs on the coffee table, sitting with Abby and waiting for Chris to return.
"Oh, hot chocolate!" The voice came out after a few moments, the scent of soap spreading through the room. “I brought this." Then, Chris placed a package above the table. "Butter Cookies!"
Felix gave him a big smile. He loved butter cookies, loved hot chocolates, he loved Chris, and he loved Abby too. Having all of it together couldn't make him happier.
“I'll have a few days without having to travel. We can go to the mall tomorrow, what do you think? After your job?"
"With our new clothes?" he asked excitedly and Chris nodded. "I want to! Let's take a beautiful picture."
Chris laughed at his enthusiasm, "Of course, baby."
"The best outfit for the best couple. That will be the subtitle." Now Felix was laughing with him.
"I will definitely love it."
