Work Text:
chan smokes very occasionally and always alone. he smokes for sleep and sometimes, every once in a while, for some inspiration in the studio- only when he really feels like he's hitting that wall. but he has some friends who smoke, who beg chan to let them smoke with him, and he finally gave in over a long weekend when he felt a little lonely, and is now sitting in their living room, waiting for them to return from where they've both been in jisung's room for 15 minutes.
"okay, so, i don't have any weed," jisung announces sheepishly as he enters the room with hyunjin trailing behind him. he'd completely forgotten that while smoking outside the night before, he gave his neighbor the last of what he had. when chan starts to stand from the couch, and jisung assumes it's to leave his apartment, he pushes his back down onto the couch and stands in front of him to stop him from standing again. "our plug is already on his way, you can't leave!"
"sung, i wasn't going to leave because you don't have weed, i need to piss," chan assures, attempting to get the man standing knee to knee with him to move out of the way, "let me up!"
"okay, but listen, you gotta be chill when he gets here," jisung warns, knowing he's close enough that he'll probably arrive while chan is in said bathroom. and then he finally steps left so chan can stand without knocking him backwards onto his ass.
"i'll be very chill, sungie."
"he's not going to be chill at all!" hyunjin whines to jisung the moment he hears chan close the bathroom door, "he's going to embarrass us in front of felix."
and felix arrives almost immediately, knocking on the door way too hard and smiling so brightly when jisung opens the door.
jisung isn't really sure if he can consider felix a friend. they only talk or hang out when jisung buys weed from him but they have such great conversation during those times, he hopes felix considers them friends. but that's exactly why he need chan to be normal in front of a pretty boy for once, so that if felix doesn't consider them friends, he wouldn't be opposed to being friends in the future.
"our friend is here," jisung warns felix before he can even step into the house, he needs to speak fast before chan comes back, "he's so, so stupid, but he's handsome, so please forgive him."
and felix just giggles and nods because that's his exact type.
a minute later, once everyone is settled in their spots with good conversation already flowing, chan announces himself reentering the room by walking into the back of the loveseat hyunjin is sitting on hard enough to move it. hyunjin jumps and turns to complain to chan, to ask him what the hell happened, but finds the man with wide eyes staring directly at felix, even as he limps around the loveseat, so he doesn't mention it. chan mumbles something about them having a really high quality couch, very sturdy- good wood.
"this is channie," hyunjin instead introduces the man who falls onto the loveseat next to him, cradling his already red knee, with an equally as red face, "chan, are you listening? this is felix."
the only response he gets are the little pained noises that chan can't keep from spilling out no matter how hard he's trying.
"i think he's busy, you can tell him again later." jisung, eager to switch the subject away from the strange man embarrassing him in front of the coolest person he knows, grabs his bong sitting in front of him on the table to start the smoke sesh, and maybe grant chan some time to compose himself.
after a bong hit and some time, chan is okay despite the huge bruise already forming on his knee. his face is still red, not that he expects his blush to calm at any point as long as he's still around the blond. it's only gets worse when he finally looks up and finds felix already looking at him; and he has to take another hit.
"my name is felix," he tells chan once the man hands the bong off to hyunjin, "i don't know if you heard it earlier, but i wanted you to know."
hyunjin and jisung probably look just as shocked at chan does at felix's words, but chan is the only one felix is looking at for a response.
"chris," is chan's first response to the reveal of the australian accent and english name out of the beautiful man, "you can call me chris. it's my english name- or it's my name, chan is my korean name."
felix smiles, and felix has a pretty smile, and nods. "chris. i like chris."
felix likes the name chris, and chan knows that, he knows he means his name, but he's starting to sweat, anyway. he laughs out a pitiful chuckle, a thanks that comes out to quite that no one hears it, and nods. he's only saved by hyunjin handing felix the bong and successfully getting his attention off chan for a moment.
"we should listen to music," jisung suggests, and felix hums and tries to nod his head in agreement despite being mid hit.
"chan makes music," hyunjin offers out the information once felix and jisung have decided on the appropriate playlist for the occasion and chan has used the handful of moments to recover.
felix gasps, and now he's staring over at chan with the biggest, prettiest eyes and excited smile on his face and any composure chan had built in the last minute is whisked away.
"ah- i mean, i produce music, i don't make my own. and i work with ji, it's not just me, ya know? me, ji, and changbin- my best friend." chan needs to learn how to shut the fuck up, he knows that, but he doesn't think he deserves to be punished by the way felix reacts to the mention of changbin.
"oh." he giggles, fucking giggles, along with the most suggestive sounding 'oh' chan has ever heard. "i know changbin."
jisung is gritting his teeth while hyunjin is racking his brain to find something to change to subject to because chan is sitting there with the politest smile on his face, nodding while felix is lost in the thoughts of another, buffer man. in his defense, chan didn't know that felix even knows changbin, he definitely had no way of knowing how obsessed felix is with the man's body- he just wanted to mention his best friend.
"me and changbin are dating!"
okay it was the best hyunjin could come up with, but it definitely knocks felix out of whenever changbin fantasy he was in in his head in that moment, so he considers it worth it. he awkwardly chuckles and grabs the bong out of jisung's hands. if he thought he was a good wingman before, he's an amazing one now, and chan better be coming up with some ideas to thank him. "i was nervous to tell you guys, but i was getting a little jealous."
"oh my god! congratulations jinnie!" jisung shouts but his eyes are begging chan to play along and not ask any dumbass questions that will ruin hyunjin's save.
felix is shy, embarrassed to have been thinking of his friend's boyfriend the way he had been, but congrats hyunjin along with jisung, clapping when hyunjin's ears turn red at all of the attention. chan joins in, throwing his arm over hyunjin's shoulders and swaying him back and forth even though the man is in the middle of trying to take a hit.
"okay! let's talk about something else!"
with so much attention on hyunjin's announcement, chan has time to calm down enough that he can hold a normal conversation. at least for a bit, but the. felix takes too big of a bit and starts coughing and his eyes start watering. then chan has to find a way to distract himself because the big, beautiful, and now wet eyes looking his direction is way too much for him to handle at the level of high he's at. he opts to stare at his phone but without turning it on; all he can see is his own pathetic reflection staring back at him.
"i should probably get going, guys," felix announces with a pout that might be just as pretty as his smile, "i'm supposed to be delivering to like three more people tonight, but they never let me smoke with them, so i don't want to."
"we'll always smoke with you, lix!"
"thank you, jinnie! i love smoking with you guys, we should do it more often! i'll smoke you all out next time, then we can match, maybe like once a week? all four of us?"
"yes, let's!" jisung stands when felix stands so he can walk him to the door. "all four of us! i'll make a group chat!"
“yay!” felix claps his hands together and presses them to his cheek. “then i can get chrissy’s
number, too!”
“we will make sure you get it!” hyunjin promises with a salute and plenty of giggles, and felix responds with the exact same.
“bye, guys! bye, chrissy, it was really nice to meet
you, let’s plan to meet again soon.” felix waves to chan once his shoes are on and he’s all ready to walk out the door.
“bye, lixie.” chan waves back the same way felix waved to himself, by wiggling his fingers, and smiles when felix’s own smile gets, somehow, even brighter.
the moment jisung shuts the door behind felix, chan receives multiple slaps on the arm from hyunjin. "you owe me dinner!"
"you were supposed to be chill!"
"are you and changbin actually dating?"
"shut the fuck up, chan."
