Reach ||| Felix x Reader
Summary: After finding out that you are older than him, you feel like the chances of your crush liking you back immediately go from low to zero in a matter of minutes. But there are a few other things you donât know about Felix, besides his age that you somehow managed to miss, so not all hope is lost...
Genre: Fluff, angst, with some small bits of humour thrown in Warning(s): Some poor language (inferred: text abbreviations) Word Count: 4329 (+11 photos of fake text) Theme Song: Sing Me - Day6Â
AN: A request from anon, Iâm so sorry it took so long! I hope you like it, it did turn out a bit angstier (and a lot longer) than I originally intended but the fluff I think makes up for it!
~~~
You always felt so giddy and light whenever Felix was mentioned in any capacity in your vicinity. Your heart could never stop pounding at the speed of light, while your stomach was always alive with butterflies, fluttering up into your lungs and leaving you short of breath.
But now, dread slowly began to seep through your body like a poison, the butterflies ceasing up and stuttering. Their corpses fell to the pit of your guts, and those that did not became lodged in your chest and throat, leaving you without air for another reason entirely.
Your fingers numbly opened your laptop and pressed the keys of Felixâs name. You never searched him, you felt like it was an invasion of privacy, especially when he was normally right there within your physical grasp if you so wished to take it (which you never did, you were too afraid to take the leap). But this was something small, and though it was somehow something so huge while being so, you let yourself off just this once. Not that you could stop yourself even if youâd tried.Â
The screen turned white, the search bar scrolling unnaturally slowly, until finally Google returned your worst fear.
Age: 19. In bold, unavoidable text. As if you were stupid. And you felt as if you were.
It had to be wrong, it had to be. An inaccuracy in results. Youâd seen them happen before, whales with four legs and members of other groups being represented by the wrong photo.
You clicked on the first webpage and scrolled, your eyes unblinking, unwavering. And then the second. And then the third.Â
19.
You pushed yourself away from the desk, your face a stone wall while your thoughts ravaged in your head.Â
You couldnât comprehend how youâd been years older this whole time. Youâd assumed he was your age, you were on such a similar wavelength that your subconscious hadnât considered he wasnât. Meanwhile the irrational part of your brain refused to be quiet. He isnât even 20 yet, it said, think old you were when he was 18, when he was 17, when he was 16â
It was only three years. It wouldnât mean anything in half a decade but it still weighed so heavily on your shoulders. Â
You knew Chan was still messaging you, the light on your phone wavering in the corner of your eye, blurred with brimming tears. The truth was though that you werenât even crying, not with the rest of your body at least. You didnât feel like it, the usual energy you had festering and leaving you empty, meaning the tears built up but refused to fall.
All of those beautiful smiles that put the sun to shame and had been directed to you meant little nowâonly that he probably liked you as his senior, nothing more. There was a chance that he only smiled at you to curry more favour, not because he genuinely liked you. All while the age-hierarchy indicated that all of those texts were probably just him responding to you because he felt like he had to. Even when hope tried to remind you that he didnât grow up with it, and regularly texted first, the voidful feeling crushed it.
Because, ignoring all of the age-related qualms, you still hadnât bothered to even ask him how old he was. That surely made you a bad friend, and if you couldnât be a good friend to him then what partner would you be? You were undeserving of him, and he most definitely did not like you back.
Aimlessly, you moved from your desk chair to your bed, dragging the cold weight of you phone in your hand and letting the screen turn black. As you lay dejectedly upon the covers, your thoughts trailed off to think of the boy youâd fallen so hard and quickly for. His radiant smile that you wanted to be the reason for, his pretty eyes that you always found yourself gazing into no matter how much you told yourself not to, his adorable hands that you just longed to hold... It was as if his features were emblazoned in your mind, and nothing could wash them away, and it only made thinking how these things were out of reach for you now hurt more.
Hearing your phone vibrate by your head where youâd discarded it, you absentmindedly flicked your eyes up to look at the lit screen. Seeing who the notification was from, your fingers immediately opened it up before you could stop yourself, eyes scouring over the messages.
Youâd forgotten all about the restaurant trip you had agreed to last week. Everyone was going to be there. Your thoughts briefly turned to rationalising an escape routeâmaybe if you claimed sick Chan would let you stay home, or maybe if you even told him the full truth he would?
It was nonsense of course, everyone was going, so you would have to attend at least for their sake. Plus, he would always say that moping wouldnât help after all, and you had to face your demons eventually.
Nevertheless, it didnât stop you from feeling a shedload of regret for agreeing. Even if there was no way you could have known, you scolded yourself for putting yourself in the line of potential damage.Â
Still, you couldnât deny how badly you wanted to see everyone and catch up on everythingâmake new plans, learn new gossipâbut you knew if you glanced at him, even just once, you would shatter.
With your mind in turmoil, you felt drawn to the clock ticking away endlessly on the other side of the room. It felt as if it was counting down to an end, though you put a quick stop to your melodramatic heartâs ramblings in this circumstance. You couldnât focus on the sound for your own sanityâs sake, otherwise you wouldnât head out at all. Opting to check the time, you spotted that you still had an hour and a half before you had to get ready, if you pushed it. And yes, rushing was not something you preferred, but youâd already made an exception for yourself today so why not another?
You slipped under your blankets, rolling over to face the wall and shut out the world. Gravity played its part and pulled the tears from the barricades of where theyâd halted, clearing your eyes so you couldn finally close them comfortably.
Youâd get through it. Perhaps things would be ok.
.
.
.
Smooth jazz music wafted across the air in the restaurant much like the rich scents of delicious food from the surrounding tables. With everyone smiling at one another, laughing into their drinks and desperately apologising to the next table over, youâd never felt more out of place.
Youâd strategically sandwiched yourself between Chan and Jeongin, praying that this combination would be the most likely to not attract the attentions of Felix. But, to your luck, the person you were so desperately trying to avoid ended up sitting right opposite you. And, to make matters worse, he seemed very intent on trying to catch your eye, send you smiles, andâthe worst part by farâtalk to you.
Aimlessly picking at your rice with your spoon, you felt awful; not only were you unable to handle the situation quite literally right in front of you, you had practically become a deadweight in the group. Even when Jeongin asked you things, the boy who had grown up so much and never failed to make your laugh with is sass, you could barely muster answers configured of multiple sentences. All the while your eyes were cut off from looking at the vast majority of the room, forced to the confines of the table, your hard left and your hard right.Â
Soon enough, the time came where Felix finally spoke to you, and god you wanted the word to swallow you whole.Â
âHey, Y/N, can you pass me the soy?âÂ
Gulping, your forehead creased as you slipped your hand across to take the sauce from Chan and rigidly pass it across the wood.
He seemed to pay no mind to your wordlessness, replying with a bright, âThank you!â All you could do was pray that would be the end of it.Â
But one of the qualities you admired in Felix was his diligence, and it took the form of gentle persistence on this occasion nonetheless.
âHey, Y/N, do you want to play some video games at some point?â he enquired, hastily adding, âJisung and I have been meaning to get round to trying out this new multiplayer, and it seems right up your street! The art is really cool, and Iâve already downloaded some of the soundtrack because itâs just that good.â
You centred your eyes awkwardly on your rice, answering as simply as you could, âSorry Iâm busy.â
You heard him chuckle, seemingly completely unfazed, and the sound snapped another one of your heartstrings, âWell, obviously not right now, but maybe, like, tomorrow evening?â
âY-yeah, busy.â You hated how he quickly caught onto your silence and followed suit, but you also had to be thankful in some shape or form. Maybe you could get this night over and done with, and then get over your crush too and save yourself the majority of the heartbreak that you presumed was inevitable.
However, Felix was not that easily deterred and by your luckâor was it misfortune?âyou suddenly saw movement out of the corner of your eye.
Taking the risk and glancing up ever so slightly, your gaze met the sight of your crush leant in over the table. His head was cocked cutely to one side, the feathered tresses of his fringe effortlessly accentuating his features, his hand reaching towards you carefully without a particular aim other than to try and show something. Heâd inclined over to try and reach you, and you had accidentally fallen right into him, your eyes catching his and he smiled.
It wasnât fair. Those pools of rich chestnut had held you and very nearly broken every single one of your defences. Your breath hitched in your throat.
âAre you ok?â he asked, and you could only stammer incoherent phrases, your cheeks heating up as you tried to hold yourself together.Â
There were many reasons why you had fallen so quickly for this boy in particular, like his resilience as mentioned earlier. Though another one of those things was his selfless kindness, and it had arisen to bite you: of course he would notice your silence, your crestfallen expression and worry. âY/N? Do you feel sick? Do you want to get some air?â
Unable to respond once again, emptily swaying your spoon in a half-empty bowl you heard his voice at a strange distance. You didnât snap back into focus, and only then barely so, until he continued, âCome on, lets get some air.â
Head empty and crowded at the same time, you looked up without fully understanding why. You could only rationalise that it was to see the sight of Felix sending a nod to Chan to your right, before asking Changbin to shift a bit so he could get through. Your heart lurched at it, the amount of care he offered you gnawing at your lungs.
Before you knew it, Jeongin was helping you stand, and you were out from around the table, following Felix a few steps behind.Â
Your focus once again settled on him and him alone, even though youâd promised yourself before you arrived to never do so again. You wanted to believe that he did all of this because he liked you back, that heâd fallen for you just as hard as youâd fallen for him, but youâd convinced yourself he was just extremely kindâand he of course was, therefore meaning that the story was all tied up and set.
Nevertheless, there wasnât much that could have prepared you for what followed.
.
.
.
The cold hit your face and knocked the daze out of you, and you suddenly felt very awake, as if youâd fallen face first into a pool of ice cold water. Having stepped out onto the balcony, you had been plunged into the night with little to protect yourself with. Hence you wrapped your arms around yourself as best you could, drawing your jacket closed as your eyes surveyed the street just metres below.
The lamplights were warm against the navy of the night, and the few people that were still out dappled in and out of the shadows. You let your mind wander as to where they were going; a graveyard shift, out to a party, home. You wondered if any of them had someone waiting for them, a love they couldnât wait to see and hold again after a long day out. The thought sent a pang through your heart.Â
The change of scenery had successfully distracted you from the person who had both directly and indirectly led you into it, but you couldnât exist painless forever. You had to confront him now.
It was Felix who spoke first, though. Before you could even turn around, his voice, deep and sweet, danced across the breeze. âHey, do you feel any better?â
You nodded simply, lips pressed together as to avoid anything stupid and sudden.
He sighed, a sound filled with relief but also an edge of something else. âAh, thatâs great. You do look it... the lightâs returned to your eyes a bit.â
The wind buffered around the nearby buildings, a police siren wailing in the distance, catching your attention to the junction at the end of the street. Turning your head away from him, you shivered at the cold, listening intently to it fading away into the hum of the traffic.Â
âI guess you found out then,â Felix began suddenly, a car horn making the both of you jump.
âFound out what?â you asked, keeping your head ducked low as you turned back towards him.Â
You heard him pause but remained afraid to glance up. He hesitantly shuffled on his feet. âTh-that I have a crush on you.â
The world continued; the traffic bustled along the mainroad, people hurried along the streets, dogs barked at nothing.Â
But to you, everything went silent. Dead quiet. No wind, no clatter of shop gates, no mildly drunken yelling. Just your heartbeat, beating harder by the second, and the sound of your crushâs nervous breathing.
You looked up at him at last, to see his face obscured by his arm as he rubbed the back of his neck idly. He moved it away eventually, revealing his head downturned as yours had been just moments before.
You stood transfixed as his voice wavered, knocked by the wind as he attempted to explain, as if he needed to rectify a mistake. âI-itâs ok, I donât want to ruin the friendship now, Iâuh...â he broke off as he swallowed thickly, and you noticed that his cheeks werenât flushed from the cool air, but rather from the tears that were welling in his eyes. âI want you to know that Iâm so happy with being just friends, and... I really hope I havenât made you feel awkward around me andâIâm sorry I...âÂ
You found it so cruel of the world to make his eyes glisten as if they held the stars when they cradled tears. It was a form of twisted irony that he didnât deserve. But it was the final straw that made your heart snap.
The spring of tension and worry and fear uncoiled as you reached across the deck for him, pulling him into the care of your arms. You were taken aback by how neatly they fit around him, how perfectly he rested against your chest and how his nose nuzzled into your neck.Â
âNo, itâs ok! Shh, donât be sorry, you have no reason to be sad. Please donât be sad,â you found yourself whispering, your voice so fragile that it no doubt was carried away by the wind as soon as it fell to his ear.Â
You rubbed your hand soothingly across the mid of his back, the other tracing up to his hair and stroking the tresses there. Meanwhile, Felix remained confused. he longed to sink into your touch, his fingers gripping at your jacket being proof of that, but he couldnât bring himself to relax.Â
âWhat...? Why are you...?â
A smile slowly rising to your lips, you didnât waste a second.Â
âYou havenât ruined anything, Iâd be so happy with being friends with you too, butâI like you Felix, I have a crush on you too...!â you rushed, pulling away to hold him at arm's length. Upon seeing his shining, wide eyes and his puffed, pouting lips you sighed in relief. Reaching up, you cupped his face in your palms, like youâd wanted to do for so long. âGod, I was such an idiot...!âÂ
âNo, youâre not stupid!â Felix emphasised, barely coming to terms with your confession himself.
Though you nodded desperately, caressing his cheek with your thumb. âBut I am. I thought you didnât like me back.â It was then that reality decided to hit you full force, the sound of the rest of the world returning to yours as you exclaimed, âOh my god, you like me back?!â
âY-you like me back?!â he echoed, hands fumbling at his chest before finally gaining the courage to come to your shoulders instead. There he delicately ran his fingers across your shoulders, as if to check if you were even real. âWhyâwhy wouldnât I like you back?â
âBecause youâre younger than me!â you said, âI didnât think youâd see me as even viable, like, I thought you saw me as only a senior to you and that...â You gazed into his eyes, no longer cradling stars but rather glistening with the gold from the restaurant behind you, watching as they widened even further. âWhy would I not like you back?â
âBecause youâre older than me! I thought I wasnât cool enough for you, and that you only were nice to me because you had to look out for me!â
His answer forced an astonished laugh out of both of you, and before you knew it the pair of you were in borderline hysterics. Felix fell back to cover his mouth with his fist, walking an aimless circle as you merely bent over, hiding behind your palms.Â
âWeâre so stupid!â he announced, his eyes wide and incredulous, all the signs of tears long gone.Â
You sank your teeth into your bottom lip as you knocked your head back up, staring at him incredulously as you shook your head. âAt least we both are.â
âYeah,â he agreed, returning to you, his hands reaching for yours, âwe can be dumb together.â
âExactly, itâs merely proof that we belong together.â
You didnât think your words through then, but any fear was met with strength, as Felix showed no sign of disagreementârather the opposite, gently caressing your hands in his before you finally interlocked your fingers. Back together, only inches apart, you were once again in each otherâs solace, stood against the auburn haze of the city night and the cold it brought.
âI donât want to be friends with you anymore,â he murmured, the brightest grin on his face as he glanced to your lips.
âNeither do I.â
Desperately trying to keep yourself together as the proximity and the intentions of both his and your words, you leant in until your foreheads met. There you welcomed the grace of the small touch with your whole heart, wondering if you would reach out to what you had dreamt of.
With your eyes closed, unable to take in the sight of his soft beauty, you took in the scent of him as his deep voice caught your attention. âCan I kiss you?â
âYes!âÂ
Your words barely rolled of your tongue before the final gap had been closed between you and your lips met at last.Â
His kiss was not what you expected; it was soft yet deep, as if he wished to instil final proof that he meant everything heâd said. You couldnât help but melt into him, your hands drawing away from his own, only so you could loop them behind his neck. He mirrored you, his hands finding the small of your back, and pulling you closer as you pressed into him.Â
Perhaps this time the world did stop, to momentarily regard you and the kiss that summarised all the feelings that had lingered in your soul for months. After all, it was a resurrection event too, as the butterfliesâ sparks reignited, sending them spiralling throughout your body and you back into radiant life.
It didnât matter to you though, as your world stopped and that was all that was important in that second. Just the feel of his lips soft and plump between yours, and the hum of absolute relief that mottled through your throat at the touch.
You pulled apart with a gasp from both sides, still entwined with your arms.Â
Felix cursed, smile immediately returning to his features.
âWhat?â You cocked your head inquisitively.
âItâs so cold,â he said, exaggerating a shiver playfully to emphasise his point.Â
You rolled your eyes at him with a chuckle, stepping away but instantly taking his hand into yours. It was a decision of mixed results, as yes you were holding his hand, but now you had to come to terms with just how tiny they were and how devastated that made you.
âHey, stop ogling my hands!â he pouted.
You perhaps would have pressed the matter if you werenât still dazed by how quickly everything in your life had changed for you. You swept your head back, before pulling your best Australian accent, âYou don't like me âcause of my personality...â
He immediately caught on, the two of you immediately wailing, âOnly âcause my body!â
You continued to laugh together as you made your way back inside the restaurant, grateful to be in the warm again.
âHonestly, I try to be nice to him one time...!â Felix said, pursing his lips as he shook his head.
âI know right! And he just throws it right back...!â
âTerrible hyung!â
âHundred percent!â
As you turned the corner to where your table was, you only just caught sight of Hyunjin looking over in your direction before he suddenly shouted.
âFinally!âÂ
Confused, you took the lead, âHey, sorry guys, I hope we werenât gone forââ
All of a sudden you were confronted with seven guys sighing and sinking into their chairs with relief. Changbin was rubbing his eyes, Minho had his eyes centralised on the ceiling, all the while Jeongin was grinning wildly at Seungmin, a hand outstretched and beckoning for something, to which the elder was desperately miming for him to cut out.Â
No answer came to mind until you noticed Jisung exasperatedly smiling at the two of you, or more specifically your interlinked hands.Â
Glancing at Felix, silently asking him if he knew about this to which he shook his head bemusedly, your attention was taken away by Chan who had stood, making his way to the both of you.
âAt last,â he stated, his features folded into tired relief, âpraise the lord, I was starting to think we were going to need divine interventionââ
You heard Minho pipe up behind, âBy divine intervention he means me!â
ââbut thankfully we didnât. God, Iâm just happy that you finally did it.â
âThanks...?â Felix looked at him sheepishly.Â
You exhaled a laugh, bringing your new boyfriend a little bit closer to your sideâsomething he of course didnât have a single gripe withâahead of catching Chanâs attention. âBang, what is all of this?â
He pouted. âHey! You canât get mad at us for being sick of you two! Imagine having to watch two obviously-in-love people dance around the in-love-with-each-other part for months. It was driving us insane!â Before you could interject, the he continued, âIt doesnât matter now, weâre just happy that youâre together now at least. And look! Because Iâm a good leader Iâve moved myself out of the way so you two can sit next to each other.â
Unable to quite comprehend this further development, that the entire group had been anxiously waiting for you to get yourselves together and confess for as long as youâd literally liked each other, you murmured a âthank youâ, before beginning to make your way to your new seats.
Your food was inevitably cold, but neither of you minded at all. The rush of newfound love had sated your appetites rather enough for tonight, though you expected you could go for one more thing.Â
Ignoring the bustle of his group mateâs comments, and the rather proud smile of Chan opposite you, you turned to Felix, âHey, do you want to share some ice cream?â
The look on his face made your heart flutter instantaneously.
It was as if the sun had risen, his pretty smile gleaming while his nose scrunched sweetly. âYes please!â
Knowing his favourite flavour of the top of your head, you sat back and let Hyunjin call for the waitress so everyone could order desserts. Even when the others spoke to you, and even though you felt even more alive than normal, you always found yourself looking back to Felix, taking in the sculpture of his adorable face that you now could hold between your fingers if you so wished.Â
He meanwhile got shy under your gaze, smiling to himself as he looked away coyly.
As you leant in to whisper how adorable he looked in his ear, you felt your phone vibrate in your pocket. Taking it out swiftly, your heart swelled as you read the message upon your lockscreen. Sending a thankful grin to the man opposite you, you quickly turned your attention to detailing your order to the waitress.
And at last, things were much more than ok.
~~~
AN: ok so this took longer than i imagined (like a solid 4 hours at least, idek i wasnt actually counting)Â
the irony is i actually wrote that felixâs age was 20 until i luckily checked and found he was still 19. iâd forgotten to count that his birthday hadnât happened yet but. yeah. proud stay moment.
apologies for any poor quality ss, my phone hates me
i hope you enjoyed anon and so again for the wait!
