Gay floof anyone?

(Don't we all)

Felix froze for a second. Saying those kind of thing to each other back in the hospital room had been one thing, then it had been under special circumstances. But hearing Alex say it here, in school, on a completely normal day was… amazing. But also a bit terrifying. Felix could feel his own hands start to shake a bit.

"And you're the reason that I don't go to hell every day," he wispered quietly. His life wasn't really that great, but Alex always managed to brighten his day up. Even before they realised they were soulmates.

"And I appreciate it more than you could ever understand." Felix smiled a bit. "So. Math test coming up. You gonna ace it or fail, ya think?"

Felix nodded. "I bet you'll do well. I'm not so sure about myself, though. Do you think I can tell the teacher that I haven't been able to study because I have been in the hospital?"

"True, true…" Felix thought about it for a second. "They might actually fall for it. But enough about stupid math. Do we have any plans for this afternoon?"

"Oh?" Felix voice shook slightly. It wasn't that he had never been at dinner with Alex's mom. Just… never as his boyfriend. "How nice of her."

"A bit," Felix muttered. "And I know that she's just your mom. But I am your boyfriend now." He lowered his voice as he said it. "You know how mothers are with boyfriends. She's only seen me as your best friend before."

"What are you talking about?" Felix muttered, smiling. "What have you planned?"

"I don't believe you, you sneaky little snake." Felix laughed at his boyfriend.

Felix laughed as they came up to the classroom door. "Whatever you say, dude." He felt like he had to add that 'dude' since the entire class looked at them while he jumped in on his crutches. He hated attention. But in his mind he also secretly wondered why the hell he couldn't just be brave enough to come out. He really wanted to be with Alex, and he wanted to be able to be public with him too. Even if that meant attention on them.

Class started, and it was boring. Like, extremely boring. At least that's what Felix thought. He couldn't really concentrate, so he concentrated on Alex instead. He had always loved how Alex looked when he was concentrated on something, even before they got together. Today, he used class time to watch that. He smiled.

Suddenly the teacher was in front of him. "Felix, you're not focusing. What is it that is so extremely interesting over there?"

The entire class turned around to look at him. Felix quickly looked down at his desk and blushed. "Nothing," he muttered. "I'll focus from now on."

"He was looking at Sarah!" Someone shouted. "Felix has a crush on Sarah!"

"What? No!" Felix turned around to stare at whoever said it, but him already blushing and denying it didn't really help proving his point. Sarah herself, who was sitting next to Alex, blushed even harder than he did himself. She smiled nervously at him.

"No," Felix muttered. But he made sure not to sound too convincing. "I was just looking out the window."

"Shut up!" Felix looked at them angrily. He turned around so quickly that he accidently pushed the notebook off the table. Embarassed, he picked it up. He really hoped that the truth could not be seen in his dark eyes. Or his cheeks. He blushed furiously, he couldn't stop it. And he definetly didn't like the look on Alex's face right now.

Felix jumped slightly at the sound of Alex's hand hitting the table. He looked at him with big eyes. And then a small smile started to grow on his face. He looked around him, the rest of their class were just as surprised as he was. He caught Alex's gaze and mouthed a "Thank you."

Felix turned his gaze back to class again, still smiling slightly. He couldn't help it. He looked down at his papers and started doodling in the corner of his notes. Every now and then he looked up at Alex, and his smile returned.

When class ended, Felix dragged Alex aside. "Come on," he muttered.
