"Do you need me to ask Minho to come over to fix it?" 

   Felix sighed, "No, I have a handyman coming over today to fix it. I just can't use my kitchen until then," 

   "What did your landlord say?" Jisung questioned. 

 "I messaged four times, left two voicemails only for him to tell me it is my problem not his," Felix said. 

  "You seriously need to move out of there, lix," 

  "I know, but it is closest to the school and it is in my budget. Speaking of, I have to go. I need to get to class," 

  Jisung hummed, "Text me when you get home, okay?" 

   "I will. Love you, give Min my love too," 

    The two said their goodbyes just as Felix left his apartment. Sighing, he went to the elevator and pressed the button. He was exhausted between last night and school he had a lot going on. 

     He smiled politely as he saw his neighbour. The man was probably around his age and almost always had paint on him. The two were polite but they never really talked to each other, besides the occasional 'Hellos' and 'How are yous'. 

  Felix wouldn't lie, the taller man was very... good looking. Short-hair, full lips, pretty eyes, completely his type, but Felix would never say that out loud.

   "Hey, I heard a loud crash last night... Is everything okay?" His neighbour asked.

   "Uhm, the light in my kitchen fell. Sorry if it woke you," 

  The man's eyes widened, "Are you okay?" 

 "Yeah, it just kind of scared me. I was able to clean everything up without getting hurt, but I still can't use my kitchen until I get it fixed,"

   The taller man nodded and scratched his neck, "Well, if you need any help I used to help my dad out with stuff like that,"

   Felix smiled, "Ah, I called a handyman, they should be here around five to fix it,"

    "Okay... uhm, I should get going I have some things I should do,"

   "I have class I need to get to too. Talk later maybe?"

  The older nodded, "My name is Hyunjin, by the way,"

  "I'm Felix,"

  Hyunjin smiled, "Well, it was nice to finally talk with you Felix,"

   "It was nice to talk with you too, Hyunjin,"

  ~

   "He was trying to get into your pants,"

  "He was cute,"

  Seungmin rolled his eyes, "You barely even talked to him,"

   "So?" Felix questioned.

   "So, you should be careful, don't do anything stupid,"

  "I'm not,"

  Suengmin hummed, he knew that was a complete lie but he let it go.

   Felix would do what Felix wanted and there was nothing Seungmin could do about it.

  ~

   "You finally talked to him?"

  "Yeah... he was sweet,"

  "So what are you going to do now?" Jeongin questioned.

  "What do you mean?"

  Jeongin raised a brow, "Hyun, you've been crushing on him since he moved in a year ago,"

  Hyunjin sighed and set his canvas to the side, "I don't know... I mean there isn't much we can talk about," He said.

  "Did you offer to fix his light?"

  "Yep... he already called a handyman,"

   Jeongin hummed, "Maybe you can woo him in another way? Perhaps with a painting or flowers?"

   Hyunjin bit his lip. Maybe he could do that.

   ~

   Felix huffed as he looked at the clock.

  It was edging closer and closer to six and the handyman had yet to show up or even message.

   Getting up, he left his apartment and walked next door. Hesitantly, he knocked on the door.

   Barely a minute later the door was open.

  Felix smiled a little, "So, I know this is last-minute, but is that offer from early still good? The handyman didn't show and cooking in the dark isn't that fun,"

    "Yeah, the offer is still good. Uhm, do you have any tools?" Hyunjin asked.

  "If you mean the tools that came with my desk and bed, then totally, besides that no. Even then I don't even know if I have those tools or if my brother does," 

  "So if something breaks, what do you do?" 

  "I usually call my brother, but he just moved an hour away with his husband. Thankfully besides this light nothing has broken," Felix said.

  "I will go get my tools. You have a light, right?" Hyunjin asked.

   "Yes, my brother sent me a link to one last night when it happened, I went and picked it up today,"

   The older nodded, "I'll be there in a minute,"

  Felix smiled, "Thank you, really!"

  Hyunjin bit back a smile as Felix practically bounced away.

   ~

  Felix was completely entranced.

  Hyunjin did not normally look muscular, but no doubt he had muscles Felix had seen the older lift four or five large packages at a time but he also wore long sleeves.

  Right now, Hyunjin was wearing a t-shirt. His sleeves were rolled up, leaving his muscles on full display along with the man's tattoo. It was a serpent that wrapped around his right bicep.

   Every movement he made caused his muscles to flex and Felix to drool just a little bit more.

    He finally snapped out of his trance when the doorbell rang.

  "You expecting someone?" Hyunjin asked.

  "Yeah, my boyfriend," Felix joked.

  However, the joke didn't quite land when Hyunjin dropped the tool he was holding and accidentally cut himself when he went to catch it.

   Hyunjin winced and cursed.

   "Are you okay?" Felix asked, rushing over when Hyunjin was off the ladder.

  The older looked at his arm and winced again. It wasn't that bad but it hurt.

  "Yeah, just a small cut," Hyunjin said.

    Felix went over to one of the cabinets and pulled out a first-aid kit, "What happened?" He questioned pulling out some gauze.

   "Uh, just dropped the tool and went to catch it. Shouldn't you get the door?"

  "I doubt anyone is going to steal our take-out if I take a minute longer," Felix said as he cleaned the wound.

    "Take-out?"

  "Yep, I ordered about ten minutes ago. Hyunjin, we've been neighbours for a year and the walls are thin, you'd know if I had a boyfriend,"

   "I gathered two things from what you said," Hyunjin said.

  Felix smiled a little, "And what is that?"

  Hyunjin moved a little closer, "One, you're single and I do have a chance. Two, you're loud,"

  "Hm, that's three things, but I'll give you it,"

   Hyunjin rested a hand on Felix's waist and pulled him a little closer.

"So, do I have a chance?" Hyunjin asked.

  "If you didn't, I would have had you laid out on the floor in less than a second for even touching me. I'd say yes, you do," Felix said softly, leaning up a little.

   Hyunjin chuckled lightly and finally connected their lips.

   The kiss was soft and fervent. Felix pulled away first, eyes still closed. He hummed and nodded a little.

  "I should finish the light," Hyunjin whispered.

    "Yes, and I should go get the food," Felix said softly.

   The two pulled away from each other. Hyunjin went back to fixing the light and Felix grabbed the food.

   The silence between the two was comfortable but a bit tense.

   Jisung was going to love this when Felix told him later.

  ~

   "The new light looks nice. Goes with the room better,

  Felix nodded as he poured hot water into two mugs. He set one in front of Jisung along with the sugar.

   "Okay, I've been here twenty minutes, I've made three dirty jokes regarding mine and Min's sex life, and complimented the flowers that are sitting on your dining table, yet you have not said a word. What's going on and who are the flowers from?" Jisung asked.

   "How do you know I didn't buy them?" Felix asked.

  "Last time I came over you had a fruit bowl, now there is a pot with orchids, someone bought that for you,"

    Felix pursed his lips and nodded, "I... I kind of kissed my neighbour,"

   "He has good taste in flowers,"

   The blond rolled his eyes, "That's all you have to say?"

    Jisung shrugged and put some more sugar in his tea, "Felix you haven't dated in two years, plus you've been crushing on your neighbour for six months. I'm not surprised,"

   "Okay, well, what should I do?" Felix questioned.

  "Invite him over? Ask him on a date? Jump his bones? Any of the three I'm sure he'll like,"

  Felix hummed, none of the options sounded bad.

    "But like how do I do any of those things?"

  Jisung took a deep breath, "Maybe, you can ask him to come over and fix something?"

   "He fixed the only thing that was broken,"

  "Have you forgotten how to lie? Just say something is broken. Say your vanity light isn't working,"

  "That would require him to come into my room,"

   Jisung smiled, "Shower before he comes over," he said.

   Felix laughed a little and rolled his eyes.

  It wouldn't be such a bad idea.

~

    Felix bit his lip as he looked at the message. He hadn't sent it, he was nervous and unsure if he should even do it.

  What if the kiss was just a heat-of-the-moment thing and Hyunjin didn't actually feel the same?

  It was all nerve-wracking.

  Sighing, Felix ran a hand through his wet hair.

He just needed to do it and he did. He clicked the send button and waited for some type of response.

Hyunjin
Sure
I'll be right over
❣️

  Felix took a breath and stood up. He wasn't sure if he looked okay. He was wearing a random shirt he grabbed from his drawer along with a pair of sweatpants.

   Before he had worried more, there was a knock at his front door.

  He went to his front door and took another deep breath. Opening it, he smiled softly.

  "Hey," he said.

  Hyunjin smiled, "Hey,"

  "So, uhm, the vanity is in the master bathroom... I'm not entirely sure what happened since it was working yesterday,"

   Hyunjin nodded and followed Felix into the bedroom.

   "It's possible the lightbulbs might've gone out or something with the plug," Hyunjin said.

   Felix nodded and watched as Hyunjin went into the bathroom.

   "So that guy who was here yesterday," Hyunjin said.

   The younger held back a smile, "What about him?"

   "I've seen him come over and few times," 

  "He's my best friend and my brother's husband. My brother was busy at his dance studio yesterday, so Jisung came over,"

    Hyunjin nodded, "Do you dance?"

  "Yeah, I've been dancing since I was four. Started with ballet and went on to do other things,"

   "Do you teach at the studio?"

  Felix nodded, "Sometimes, but besides that between being a student and my job I don't really have time to teach there full-time,"

"I wanted to ask, what are you going to school for?"

   "I am a culinary student," Felix answered.

   Hyunjin was quiet for a minute making Felix curious.

   "So, I found out why the light isn't working,"

   Felix hummed. Hyunjin looked over and held up the cord.

  "It's unplugged,"

   "Oh,"

    Hyunjin stood up after plugging it back in and turned on the light.

  "Looks like everything works,"

  "Mhmm,"

  Hyunjin smiled a little and put a hand on either side of Felix, the marble of the sink was cool against his palms.

   "I'm curious," Hyunjin said softly.

   "You seem to be curious about a lot," Felix mentioned.

  "Was anything actually broken or did you just want me to come over?"

   Felix pressed his lips together, "What if I did just want you to come over?"

   Hyunjin leaned down a little more, "Could've just asked then,"

   "Are you waiting for a golden ticket or will you just kiss me already?" Felix questioned.

   Hyunjin smiled a little and kissed Felix.

 This kiss was faster but still tender. It sent a wave of warmth through Felix.

   Hyunjin's hands went from the countertop to Felix's waist then down to his hips, from there he swiftly lifted Felix and set him on the marble counter.

  Felix gripped Hyunjin's shirt as the older kissed down his jaw to his neck, surely, leaving marks that Jisung would gawk at later.

   Hyunjin's hands found their way under Felix's shirt and caressing his sides.

   It was a gentle touch, Hyunjin's fingers barely grazed the spot, but it sent a shiver up his spine causing his back to arch and a small moan to slip from his lips, and that made shock and embarrassment wash over Felix.

  It must've shocked Hyunjin too because all his movements stopped and he looked at Felix, who was now a pretty shade of red.

  Felix tensed and pushed Hyunjin away, then got off the counter and left the room.

  Hyunjin was quick to follow the blond.

  "Felix," Hyunjin said softly.

  The blond was curled under his blanket.

  "That was so embarrassing," Felix said, his voice muffled by the blanket over his head.

   "On the contrary, it was pretty hot," Hyunjin said sitting on the bed by Felix.

   "No, I wasn't,"

   Hyunjin pulled the blanket off of Felix and rolled him onto his back, "I really have to disagree, darling," 

   "Thank you for trying to make me feel better, but you don't have to,"

  "Felix," Hyunjin grabbed the blond's hand, "I don't lie," he said softly.

   Felix's breathing stuttered as he felt Hyunjin, "Oh," he whispered.
  
    Hyunjin leaned down and captured Felix in a quick and soft kiss, which had the blond chasing his lips when he pulled away, "Maybe I should find out what other spots have you melting like that, hm? What do you think, darling?" 

    Before Felix could answer, Hyunjin was kissing down his neck slow and soft until he reached the collar of his shirt. 

   "Hyun," 

   "What do want, Felix? Do you want me to continue?" 

  Felix nodded, "Yes, please," 

  ~

    As the blond woke, he groaned softly. His back hurt, so did his thighs, and scalp. Hyunjin was asleep, the light was hitting his face, highlighting his features perfectly. Felix went to move but the arm around his waist tightened.

  "Where are you going?" Hyunjin muttered.

   "From the feeling in my legs, absolutely nowhere," Felix said.

   Hyunjin chuckled and opened his eyes, "I guess we'll just need to stay in bed all day, huh?" 

 Before Felix could answer, there were multiple knocks on the front door, "Shit, what time is it?" 

  Hyunjin reached over and turned the alarm clock on Felix's nightstand, "Noon," 

  "Crap, it's Jisung," Felix said, wincing and scrambling to get up.

  Hyunjin got up, "Slow down, don't hurt yourself. I will go get the door,"  

   Felix sighed as pulled a shirt on, "Jisung is so not going to let me live this down," he muttered.

   Hyunjin opened the door, the wallaby-like man he saw the other day was standing there his eyes now wide as he looked confused.

   Jisung's eyes switched between Hyunjin and the number on the door.

   "Right number, right furniture, but wrong person. Did he go to the club without me and Min again?" Jisung mumbled to himself.

  "I'm his neighbour," Hyunjin said.

  The brunet's eye lit up with recognition, "Right! The hot neighbour. Uhm, where is Felix?" 

  "Sorry, I'm here, Sung,"  Felix said, limping over.

Jisung raised a brow, but then smiled his usual smirk, "Ah, I see. Well, since it seems like you are in no shape to be doing anymore physical activities, I will be taking my leave," He said with a wink, then he bounced off snickering to himself. 

   Hyunjin closed the door and turned towards Felix, "He is interesting," 

  "He is going to tell my brother," Felix said sitting on the couch. 

  "Should I run?" Hyunjin asked with a chuckle.

  "Don't know we'll find out in a couple days," 

   Hyunjin sat on the couch next to Felix, "Well, before that happens, I would like to take you on an official date," 

  Felix smiled, "Was the sex that good?" 

  "Don't get me wrong, the sex was... I don't think there are words to describe it. However, that isn't the only reason why. I like you and I've liked you for a while," 

   Felix leaned over and gave Hyunjin a quick kiss, "I would love to go on a date with you, just not today or tomorrow, when my legs feel better,"

   Hyunjin laughed softly, "Whenever you are ready. I am going to order some takeout," 

     The two spent the day in each other's embrace, watching TV and eating junk food.

  It was perfect for them. It felt nice. It felt like the most natural thing in the world for them.
