Chapter Text
It was nearing the end of the year. All the guys were unbelievably busy preparing for multiple end of the year special stages, and Hyunjin was no exception. Quite the opposite, in fact, being recognized for his dancing skills meant participating in more than just a few extra performances. So at this point, the dancer was practically just running from location to location trying to keep up with such a busy schedule. He was definitely starting to feel the strain it put on his body. He needed a break. Not to mention, the group also found themselves separated more often than not lately, resulting in Hyunjin missing the others greatly.
Therefore, there was a feeling of calmness for Hyunjin this particular day, because the whole group was finally gathered, participating in the same activities.
It was the day to record the teaser for the upcoming year of 2022, and they had all gathered to make the finishing decisions before Felix would eventually go up on stage and present the final result. Since the meeting took place at the location for recording, all of the members had chosen to stay behind to support Felix, which was currently anxiously preparing so he wouldn't mix his words up. Knowing that it always calmed him down to have the members around, Hyunjin hoped it would have the same effect on Felix. Therefore, Hyunjin himself, as well as the other boys had made an extra effort to send encouraging smiles and thumbs up in the younger dancer's direction throughout the day.
Somewhere along the process of planning it all, it was concluded that Felix would be the best option to narrate the teaser for their upcoming projects. The reason behind it being that speaking in english would be an advantage now that they were starting to gain more international fans. Additionally, Felix had a voice that could pull anyone's attention in. The group couldn't have agreed more on their decision. It fit perfectly.
Watching from behind the camera, Hyunjin observed how Felix's small yet muscular frame tensed up one last time before there was a loud voice declaring that they would start the recording. As Felix turned towards the camera, a flicker of light caught Hyunjin's eyes. At first he got annoyed at how it made his eyes sting. However, he quickly realized that it came from Felix's glasses, for a moment reflecting the heavy lighting they needed for filming, straight in Hyunjin's direction. Taking in the view of Felix, now facing directly towards him made Hyunjin grip at the edges of his chair.
Over the last few weeks Hyunjin might have started to develope the tiniest bit of a crush on the younger. He had been working hard to cover it up, hiding it from the others (and himself as well, if he was to be honest). However, the second Felix put those glasses on in the changing room earlier, Hyunjin's composure was about to crumble to pieces. He hadn't expected that something as simple as adding a pair of glasses to Felix's already soulcrushing outfit could steal his breath away completely. Put together with Felix's newly dyed hair, now colored an alluring shade of purple, it was a deadly combination.
Hyunjin couldn't quite pinpoint the moment when his feelings towards the younger had begun to change, but he had gradually started feeling a sense of wanting to be close to the other more and more. And Felix had actually started fulfilling those wishes. The amount of lingering touches Felix left on Hyunjin's hips and thighs when he walked by had increased monumentally over the last week. It didn't matter if they were at practice, at home or recording a new track. Felix was always there. With how persistent the younger was at being touchy, it was almost as if he was teasing Hyunjin, waiting for the older to slowly lose control.
And Hyunjin would be lying to himself if he said it didn't work to rile him up on any given day. Quickly scanning his eyes over Felix's whole look once more, the older figured that Felix wouldn't make it any easier on him today either.
Hyunjin's suspicions got confirmed sooner than he could comprehend, because from the second the cameras switched on, something in Felix changed. Suddenly all the nerves magically washed away from the younger's features. The effect that the change in mood had on Hyunjin, was instantaneous.
Felix looked determined, the tone of his voice secure. It quite literally looked like he had the confidence of someone with the control of balancing the whole world in his palm, the power to wreck it in an instant if he wanted. At least that was currently the case with Hyunjin's world. Added as a second thought, he found that he wouldn't really mind it all that much if Felix decided he wanted to wreck him.
Hyunjin couldn't deny it. He found this hot. Hot to a degree that got his grip clenched tighter around his seat, sweat forming in his palms. Doing a quick scan of the rest of his body to determine the damage so far, he found he was clenching his teeth as well. But despite a pair of white knuckles and an aching jaw, it wasn't visible how badly just a look in his crush's direction had affected him. His reaction had already gone too far for his own liking, so he weakly promised to himself to not let it go any further.
He managed to keep that promise for exactly 5 more seconds. Then he started taking in the way Felix was speaking. And like that, his plan of keeping himself composed was thrown straight out the window. Up until now he'd been fairly distracted by his own thoughts and the sheer impact Felix's visuals had on him. But Felix's voice was an aspect he had yet to account for, and the low vibrations of his deep tone had already sent a shiver down Hyunjin's spine. 'It could only go downhill from here' Hyunjin thought.
Not only did the younger's voice in itself have Hyunjin's heart speed up, the way he was speaking in english impacted him just as much. Words rolled off Felix's tongue differently whenever he spoke in english compared to korean. It only made sense that Felix's confidence would rise when he was talking in his first language, but that still didn't stop Hyunjin from acting surprised. This time it had him clenching his thighs together, simultaneously wondering if it was physically possible to look more tense.
Further, those moments when Felix's australian accent stood out clearly gave that extra sparkle in the younger's eyes. A sparkle that Hyunjin already found charming, but seeing it behind those glasses made for a look that Hyunjin could only consider straight up criminal. Hyunjin felt himself blushing at his own thoughts.
Seungmin clearing his throat besides Hyunjin suddenly made him very aware of how he was surrounded by his band mates, the vocalist sending him side glances. Hoping that Seungmin hadn't caught his blush, Hyunjin adjusted his sitting position quickly, crossing his legs and trying to release the death grip his hands had formed. He managed partially, but still felt accomplished considering he had little to no power when it came to controlling his body at the moment. He wasn't sure if Seungmin had caught onto why Hyunjin was so tense, but he was sure the other had caught that something was out of the ordinary.
The recording couldn't have lasted more than 4-5 minutes, but Hyunjin had already been at his breaking point around one minute in. He was happy he could be there for his friend and group mate through his recording, but It wasn't Hyunjin's proudest moment. Sure, Felix would probably be flattered that Hyunjin thought he looked beyond desirable during his presentation. But the dancer wasn't so sure how the younger would react if he knew Hyunjin was practically drooling at the mere sight of him.
However, Hyunjin didn't have the chance to feel guilty for too long about how he may or may not have been affected a bit too strongly. Because as soon as Felix was done with the recording, the younger had the nerve to look right in Hyunjin's direction. He did so while simultaneously using his pointer finger to push the glasses back on the bridge of his nose, rapidly closing one eye into something that could resemble a wink. Honestly, it had all happened so quickly, Hyunjin wasn't even sure if it really had happened. 'Did he just imagine it? Was he being delusional? Maybe'.
Real or not, his imagination didn't help him feel less affected.
He wasn't going to sugar coat it to himself. Hyunjin was craving attention, and Felix's attention in particular. He couldn't help it. Felix had been persistently setting him up during the whole week, making him grow increasingly frustrated. According to himself, Hyunjin had been keeping fairly composed up until this point, but even he had his limit.
The looks Felix had been giving the camera during his narration had done nothing less than capture Hyunjin's full attention, making him wish the younger only had his eyes settled on him. No wonder they put Felix in this role, he was alluring. It would surely be a success.
Hyunjin could swear the younger had sent looks in his direction more than once after the cameras stopped rolling. But acting unaffected, Felix was still standing up on the stage, discussing with the director if they needed another take. From the looks of it, it seemed like everyone was satisfied and they could wrap up early.
Since they essentially never had any free time, everyone was basically rushing out as soon as Felix's recording ended. All of them just wanted to go home and enjoy a relaxing evening, Felix included. The younger didn't even seem to care to change before heading straight to the car that would take them home.
Hyunjin was somewhat thankful he ended up in another car than Felix, taking the chance to calm himself down. He also found it appropriate to reflect on his own behavior and give himself a serious talk about how he needed to get it together.
---
Despite Hyunjin giving his best effort to not let Felix lead him further on, the older found himself standing outside the younger's room, a hand raised and ready to knock on the hard wood. It was barely a few hours after they had gotten back to their dorms, but Hyunjin had waited long enough, he was already missing the other guys' company. And he was going to keep convincing himself that it was a coincidence that he ended up outside Felix's bedroom in particular, however he wasn't sure even he could make himself believe that at this point.
He had paused his hand in the air for only a second before his knuckles made contact with the door. And after that, it didn't take long for Hyunjin to hear a muffled yell as a response. If he didn't know better, he wouldn't enter, but Hyunjin had learnt fairly quickly that shouting incomprehensible words was Felix's way of welcoming him in. So he took it as a sign to open the door.
What Hyunjin registered immediately after catching a glimpse of Felix was the fact that the other boy apparently hadn't taken the time to change out of the outfit he wore for the recording earlier. Great start, Felix already had Hyunjin screaming internally at first glance. Next, the older took in how Felix was laid straight out on his bed, eyes locked in on his phone screen. The whole room was illuminated by purple led lights, revealing yet another shade to Felix's newly dyed hair.
"Oh it's you" Felix said calmly. "Come in" the younger continued as he patted his hand on the open spot besides himself on his bed, clearly hinting that Hyunjin should come over. It took a few seconds for Hyunjin to shake off the initial shock, but he was soon back to normal. This wasn't unusual for the two. They had become closer lately and the scenario of one of them visiting the other happened several times a week at this point.
Pretending as if the younger hadn't made his heart skip a beat just now, Hyunjin did as expected and found his way over to Felix on the bed. Despite feeling a bit weaker to his knees than usual, Hyunjin comfortably settled on the mattress, immediately laying on his side to wrap himself around the younger.
This was his default position whenever he and Felix cuddled, one muscular arm wrapped around Felix's well built upper body, a slim thigh rested on top of Felix's own sturdy thighs. To make Felix acknowledge his presence properly, Hyunjin went to flex his muscles, effectively forming a squeezing tight hold around the other. Felix took the hint immediately and wrapped his arm around Hyunjin, resting it in the open space below the older's neck. At that Hyunjin let out a content sigh, finally able to shift his attention away from how much he had been craving attention all throughout the day.
"What are you watching?" Hyunjin asked, trying to stretch his neck from how his view was currently blocked by Felix's body. He tried to steal a glace in the direction of where Felix had lowered his hand in favor of embracing Hyunjin, the phone screen now facing down towards the mattress. Hyunjin was flattered that Felix prioritized cuddling him over watching his phone, yet he was too curious not to ask.
"Oh right" Felix blushed. Maybe he didn't really want to share, Hyunjin wondered. Regardless, Felix continued speaking. "I was just watching some silly videos to calm down after today. I'm really nervous about how it turned out" Hyunjin felt how genuine the younger was when sharing his worries.
"I promise you that you did an amazing job today, Felix. I couldn't take my eyes off of you" Hyunjin let out with a sigh, as if reminded yet again of how truly whipped he was for the younger, especially today. He accompanied the encouraging words by tilting his head up, trying to register if his words had the effect he wanted on the younger. To Hyunjin's surprise, Felix seemed amused by what he had just said, his mouth forming into a grin.
"Yeah I could tell. You looked like you were enjoying the show" A breathy laugh escaped Felix's mouth, his tone flirty like Hyunjin had familiarized himself with lately.
Hyunjin's immediate reaction was to blink rapidly, sucking in a breath of air as if being hit by a sudden realization. Had the younger been watching Hyunjin during his recording earlier?
The older silently comforted himself with the fact that Felix couldn't have read his mind at that moment, but he couldn't say for sure to what degree it had been visible how entranced he had been. The stage hadn't been that far away after all.
But despite Hyunjin's slight panic, he was determined to not lose the upper hand now. He wanted to keep up the flirting for a bit longer, wondering where it could lead. And it just so happened that Hyunjin knew the other well enough to be aware of exactly which buttons to press to make the other react.
"Oh did these help you see me more clearly?" Hyunjin said with a curious tone, pointing his finger to the edge of the glasses that still decorated Felix's features.
Next, Hyunjin found it too tempting not to follow through with the action of moving his finger along the side of Felix's glasses, sliding across the smooth surface. Further he added some pressure in a downwards motion, right where the accessory up until this point had rested peacefully on top of freckle coated skin, making the glasses slide down the natural slope of Felix's nose. Felix followed the motion, tilting his head down, eyes fixed on Hyunjin's finger until they drifted low enough for Felix's gaze to line up with Hyunjin's. The scene that unfolded just a short distance from Hyunjin's face couldn't be described in any other way than straight up fascinating.
Delighted that he quite literally had Felix's attention wrapped around his finger, Hyunjin put on the most innocent look, acting as if he didn't know exactly what he was doing.
At some point, Felix's mouth had parted as if letting out a silenced gasp, clearly not ready for Hyunjin go any further than suggestive words. Hyunjin couldn't quite tell if the younger had caught on to what he was implying yet, but he was surely starting to see some of the realization hit now. From where he was laying, Hyunjin was sending Felix an expectant look back, acting as if he wasn't secretly putting in the effort to seduce the other.
After a moment of confusion, a fierce look seemed to find it's way back in Felix's eyes. Hyunjin felt exhilarated at the sight, knowing that Felix had caught on. "You're right, these glasses gave me a more clear view of you. I can see right through your intentions with these". Felix shot back. He left the end of his sentence with something that Hyunjin could only interpret as a low growl. Hyunjin wasn't sure if it was only in his imagination, but he could swear he had felt the vibrations from that noise rush through his entire body. And if that didn't have Hyunjin feeling weak, Felix's gaze did the job by piercing right through him.
A silence filled the air in the moments after, only tainted by the boys' anticipation. The mood around the two had suddenly changed and Hyunjin was sure they could both feel it.
"Oh really? Let me try these and see if it shows me YOUR intentions then" To get easier access, Hyunjin had untangled himself from the younger, sitting up on his knees besides him. Now sitting face to face with Felix, it only took one swift motion for Hyunjin to form a delicate grip around the edges of the glasses. And before Felix could even register the way Hyunjin's hand had brushed softly against his cheek on the way there, the older had already pulling the temple tips away from behind Felix's ear.
All Felix could do was watch, plastered with a look as if he was trying to calculate what the older's next move would be. Hyunjin made sure to face the younger through it all, wanting to read Felix's reaction as best as he could.
Realistically Hyunjin knew these glasses didn't have the power to show anyone's intentions, neither did they have the function of proper glasses. They were merely a piece of accessory, added to put an edge to Felix's outfit, tweaking it to perfection. No Hyunjin didn't care much about the function of the glasses (other than the fact that they made Felix look dangerously enticing), but at the moment they did play a prominent role in their little push-and-pull game that Hyunjin was shamelessly intending to keep up.
Therefore, Hyunjin found himself placing the glasses comfortably on himself, quite enjoying the slight pressure they applied to the bridge of his nose. To further amplify the intensity of it all, he completely immersed himself in the role, playing along as if he was acting out a dramatic scene in one of those cringey romantic dramas. To do so, Hyunjin took his sweet time widening his eyes and raising his eyebrows as he was studying Felix. He wasn't shy to fully play the part, put a finger to his own chin and lean in closer as if contemplating how the younger now looked different through the glasses.
In response, Felix's eyes widened to the point where Hyunjin wondered if this boy truly needed proper glasses, as if he actually couldn't see Hyunjin clearly without forcing his eyes open. In fact, ever since Hyunjin put the glasses on himself, Felix's eyes hadn't left his face. The younger didn't even try to hide how he was staring at this point. Instead he seemed to openly study the new look that Hyunjin now offered. This was the desired effect the older had in mind earlier, but Hyunjin had to admit that Felix's persistent stare had him feeling a bit shy, already feeling an unexpected blush creep up on him. He could act confident all he wanted, but that didn't change the fact that there was an underlaying feeling of being nervous present.
Prompted by Hyunjin clearing his throat, Felix finally moved his gaze from the older boy's face. Hyunjin let out a sigh of relief as the younger now took in all of him, trailing his eyes down Hyunjin's body. Thinking about it, the glasses did properly fit the rest of Hyunjin's outfit today. He was simply wearing tight jeans and a flowy button up shirt made out of silky material, a shirt he had gone on to tuck behind his belt. He hadn't put overwhelmingly much effort into what he wore, so he had lucked out that the glasses matched well with the all black look he had going on.
Thanks to Hyunjin leaning forward, the loose material of his shirt was drifting away from him, leaving an open spot that now exposed some of the skin down the older boy's chest. To no one's surprise, that was the exact place Felix's eyes now had to found a resting place.
Apparently getting comfortable in the new atmosphere, giving into the temptation just like Hyunjin had done earlier, Felix reached his hand out to hook his finger into the top of Hyunjin's shirt. Further, he started playing with the top button.
At that moment it felt like the barrier that had previously been between them, preventing the two from intimate touches, finally broke. That single almost non-existent spot where the tip of Felix's pointer finger connected with Hyunjin chest suddenly had every part of Hyunjin in flames.
The action was welcomed, yet shocking when Felix took it even further by pulling on the silk, urging Hyunjin to lean his upper body closer. It left Hyunjin's body naturally drifting towards the other, dangerously close to being pulled out of balance, yet trusting Felix to support his weight if he was to stumble. And exactly because he trusted the younger so much, Hyunjin let himself be guided in any way that Felix signalled he wanted.
Following Felix's directions, Hyunjin found himself straddling the younger's thighs a few seconds later. He'd let the younger take control, and the pull on his shirt had lead him exactly where he was propped up on top of Felix.
"I see what you mean, these glasses make it all the more clear" Just at the moment the last syllable left Hyunjin's tongue, Felix popped the button he'd been playing with open. Even if it was barely audible, the slight popping sound coming from the button exploded in Hyunjin's ears. His senses worked on overdrive trying to keep up with it all.
Felix's actions only made it more obvious to Hyunjin that they both wanted something more, evolving from undressing each other with their eyes to actually removing articles of clothing.
"Mhm, and what do you see?" Felix raised his brows, already moving down to play with the next button. Felix never broke their points of contact, tracing his finger along Hyunjin's skin, gathering up a drop of sweat along the way, sweat that had formed due to the building tension.
Felix was quick to start toying with the second button too, acting so casual about it as if this wasn't unknown territory for them. Felix was clearly not opposed to removing a layer of clothing, maybe wanting something more? It gave Hyunjin the courage to keep up their little act.
"You want me" Hyunjin said calmly, forcing any hesitation away from his voice. "That's what I see" Hyunjin let out a giggle at the end, promptly breaking character. He loved the teasing, but this was still new to him, and though he was trying to act all confident on the outside, he was really shy on the inside now that he found himself sitting on top of his crush.
"I don't think you need glasses to tell that, silly" Felix said, showing a big bright smile. It seemed like Hyunjin breaking character lead to Felix following right after. Hyunjin had enjoyed the act, but he was sort of thankful that they were back to a more normal attitude towards each other
Before leaving to place both his hands on Hyunjin's hips, Felix made sure to unbutton the button he had been playing with for a while now, revealing more of Hyunjin's soft skin
"How do you want me then?" Hyunjin asked, curiously anticipating the answer. He felt the familiar feeling of his arousal building now that Felix had confirmed for sure that he wanted Hyunjin in a more intimate way.
"Like this" Felix responded by looking the older up and down, pulling Hyunjin's hips down on top og himself. Hyunjin's immediate reaction was to breath out from the nice feeling on their lower halves grinding together. His mind blank for a moment, before his thought flooded back.
