That was my life for a while.

My friends eventually found out I was injured and made me go to a doctor and get checked out, which resulted in me finding out that I had a couple of broken ribs and some internal bleeding.

But despite that, I was alive and breathing. That's better than what Felix had.

He was still breathing but he showed no signs of waking up anytime soon and it was very worrying.

I managed to keep my composure around Adrien and Austin for their sake, but I was a complete mess and couldn't keep up the strong act anymore.

I still hadn't spoken to my mother and didn't have any intention to.

She was still blowing up the media and I'm surprised she hadn't sent a search party after me by now.

I was so worried about how Felix was doing that I could barely think about anything else; I was up there visiting whenever I could.

This was one of those days, I was driving up there like usual.

Luka and Adrien were watching Austin and I was going to visit Felix with flowers and get well soon cards from Austin in my hands.

They had colorful scribbles and small messages in messy writing. The writing was barely legible, but it's the thought that counts.

Plus, it was an easy way to keep him occupied whenever he asked where the blond was.

I felt bad that Luka and Adrien had kinda unintentionally taken over watching Austin when he was technically mine and Felix's responsibility.

Luka said that he didn't mind, claiming that he wanted some practice being around kids just in case for the future.

Adrien's reason was that he desperately needed a distraction from all of this going on. Plus, he said that Austin was a sweet little angel and he didn't mind looking after him if it took a small weight off my shoulders.

I was thankful for both of them, just trying to be strong for their sake and my own sake.

On the bright side, Felix's breathing and heart rate had been relatively normal these past few days.

On the bad side, he showed no current signs of waking up and it was worrying.

I was told that he could wake up tomorrow, or in a few days, a few weeks, or even in a few months.

During a more extreme case, in a few years.

I had also been told that there was a small but very plausible chance that he could never wake up.

That thought kept me awake at night and I had barely gotten any sleep for the last few days.

I had eaten when Luka cooked so that Austin and Adrien would eat; otherwise, I wouldn't have had much food.

I knew I shouldn't be ruining myself like this, but I really didn't know what else to do.

The person I always went to for advice was practically dead in a hospital bed.

I still had B/F/N and F/N but I had sort of been unintentionally pushing them away from me. I didn't want to ghost but I didn't think either of them deserved to have to deal with all this drama.

I know, horrible, right? They were my best friends and just wanted to help me but this was all a little too much for me at the moment.

I had also been sort of ghosting Ezra. He felt bad and when this incident first happened, he had been up here pretty frequently trying to check-in.

He said he felt bad since his akumatization was the whole reason Felix got hurt in the first place.

He had been really caring and sweet about it but he eventually had to stop coming because Felix's heart rate rose dangerously high whenever he was in the room so the doctors said it was better for his sake that Ezra stop coming.

Ezra said that it was fine, as long as Felix was getting better. So from then on, he stuck to supporting from afar.

I had been pacing around Felix's room for about ten minutes or so, muttering incoherently to myself and anxiously fidgeting.

"God, Felix. It's been weeks, everyone's worried." I stopped pacing for a second and stared at Felix's unconscious body laid out on the bed. "I'm worried." I choked out, tears building up in my eyes.

I push back the tears, continuing to pace tirelessly back and forth.

If he was awake, Felix would have scolded me by now to stop pacing and take a breath once in a while.

But he wasn't awake to do that.

I sighed, watching his chest gently rise and fall as his heart rate monitor flickers back and forth, reading various normal levels.

Alright, so Felix wasn't the nicest guy and some people may have thought of him as a huge jerk but they didn't know him like I did.

Make fun of me all you want, I'm aware that sounds straight out of a cheesy romance novel but it's true.

He could try to claim he didn't care about anyone but I saw how much he loved his mother and Adrien, and how hard he protected Austin and me.

I saw how crushed he was when his mother passed, or how he sacrificed his own life to save mine and Adrien's, or how closely and carefully he made sure to take care of Austin.

No one could deny that, even when they thought Felix was a selfish, horrible person.

I walk over to his bed, taking his chill hands into my own, rubbing my finger over the back of his tired hands.

"Fe, I just... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault and you shouldn't have gotten hurt because of me. It should be me in the hospital bed and you should be alive, taking care of Austin and your brother. They need you, more than they ever needed me." I hadn't noticed I started crying again till I felt tears pour down my cheeks.

This time, I didn't bother to stop them and let my voice come out in small sobs as I gripped Felix's hand like it was my last life force.

I knew I was acting selfishly, and honestly, I didn't care. I felt selfish.

My sobs came out shakily as I heard a gasping breath below me.

I blink through my tears as I practically fell over with shock.

Felix's blue orbs were open and searching in a panic around the room.

His heart machine started rapidly beeping and it took me a second to truly process what was happening.

Wait, wait.

He was alive?! He's breathing!!

"F-Felix?" I choke out as his breath hitches and his eyes keep searching around.

Suddenly his eyes meet mine and he reaches forward to grab my hand.

I hold his frigid hands in mine to slow down his panicked, racing train of thoughts.

I reached over to press the nurse call button and focused on calming the newly awake blond below me.

Eventually, whispering calm things while rubbing his palms and running a hand through his messy locks got his heart rate down and his breathing was starting to slow to a normal level.

But that all changed when the door split open and three nurses piled into the room.

Felix once again started panicking, looking to me for an explanation.

I was about to try to calm him again when I felt my body being pushed back.

I would have hit my head against the tile if I hadn't landed backward in the hard chair.

I narrowed my eyes at the nurse who pushed me back, now doing all sorts of ridiculous tests and overwhelming Felix.

I get she was doing her job, but did she have to shove me that hard?

Suddenly, I noticed a figure in front of my view and a hand held out in front of me.

I lift my head up to see a tall man standing in front of me. His tanned olive skin glowed, even under the fluorescent light, he had dark messy hair, and his green eyes shimmered.

His hands looked soft yet visibly rugged and he presented a comforting, soft vibe to him.

"Sorry about her, she's a little high strong. Try not to take it personally. But she seemed to have thrown you pretty harshly, are you alright?" His voice came out in a deep, but soothing tone.

"Um, yeah. I'm fine." I stand back up, brushing myself off and fixing my hair.

He gives me a soft look and I move my eyes to look at his name tag.

Doctor Oliver Hudson, it read.

"Thank you, Doctor Hudson. Are you sure Felix will be alright?" I ask with concern hidden in my eyes.

I watch Doctor Hudson look back at his coworkers for a split second with an unreadable emotion in his eyes before turning back to me, smiling with his eyes over his face mask.

"I'm sure he'll be alright, Ms. L/N. He seems to be a very strong young man. He's lucky to have survived that shot, many die almost instantly." He said as if that thought was supposed to make me feel any better.

I rub my arm awkwardly, uncomfortable from how he addressed me.

Miss Y/N. He called me Miss. Why did that bother me so much?

I decided to just shrug it off for now but it couldn't get the weird feeling out of my mind.

Why did hearing that just bug me?

I was broken out of my thoughts by a feminine-sounding pitchy voice ringing out throughout the hospital room.

"What did you do to him? He was perfectly fine last time we checked on him and now as soon as we came in, he's all worked up and his heart rate has spiked. So you must have done something to make his condition worsen when he's in a very dangerous state of mind and body."

I let out an audible scoff at the female nurse who was giving me irritated eyes over the blue hospital mask covering the lower half of her face.

Maybe he's worked up because you're all crowding around his bed and yelling and poking him. He gets overwhelmed and anxious easily.

I was about to make a rebuttal when the doctor who helped me up gave her a look.

"Leave her alone, Tash. She's probably stressed from someone she knows being in the hospital. We know better than anyone how stressful this place is." Doctor Hudson says, giving his co-worker a stern look.

The doctor he addressed as Tash rolls her eyes. "Oh come on, Ollie. Grow up. Look at her. Why is she even here when we're just trying to do our job?"

Why am I here? I don't know, maybe because my fiancé is in the hospital and you seem to care more about interrogating me than actually trying to help him?

Look at her. Why is she here? God, that stung and I didn't know why.

Focus, Y/N.

"I don't know, maybe because someone I care about is in a coma?" I say, rather irritated.

She was about to respond when I walked near the bed, my hand being grabbed and pulled closer by the unconscious blond laid on the bed.

My face heats up as I watch the female doctor's eyes practically bulge out of her head.

I read her name tag and made a mental note.

Doctor Natasha Kendall.

I tried to carefully pull my hand out of Felix's grasp, but it only seemed to make it tighten more.

I tried to pull away so the doctors would have more room to work but he wouldn't let my hand go.

"Excuse me, we need to be able to have room to examine him. You are not helping by standing there like a log, so maybe you should just leave or something." She gave me a disgusted stare and I rolled my eyes up to the ceiling.

What was this chick's problem with me?

Doctor Hudson put a hand on her shoulder. "Leave her alone, Tash. She has a right to be here, her fiancé just woke up from a coma after all."

I was about to question how he knew Felix was my fiancé but then I remembered how it was all over the news and all anyone ever talked about when they recognized my face, even over the face mask the hospital required visitors to wear in the ICU.

I watched as Doctor Kendall looked even more annoyed with me, if possible.

I tried to pull away from Felix, trying not to hurt him but he wouldn't let my hand go. I silently begged in my head for him to let go while Doctor Hudson and one of the other doctors both looked at Doctor Kendall.

"Come on, Tash. Let her live." The other doctor said to Doctor Kendall.

His name tag read Doctor Andrew Thomas.

"Shut up, Drew." She hissed at him, then dug her hot pink acrylic nails into Doctor Hudson's arm until her knuckles turned pale.

Doctor Hudson gently shoved her off his arm then gave me a look. "You're allowed to stay in the room but it would be preferred if you'd give us a bit more room to work."

"Yes, of course." It took some effort but I still felt bad when I had to pull my arm away from Felix's grip.

He made a small whimper and ran his arm down the bed as I walked over to the other side of the room.

I took notice of how the doctors looked and how they seemed to take care of Felix.

Doctor Hudson had a very warm exterior. He seemed to be well built and had tan skin, you could tell he worked out and knew what he was doing. He wore a band on his finger but he didn't look that old to have a wife quite yet. He seemed to be confident in what he was doing, or at least he was very good at pretending he did.

I narrowed my eyes at Doctor Kendall, rather forcefully ordering her coworkers and barking orders at Felix when he clearly couldn't do anything about it. She had pale blue eyes, much more pitiful and full of manipulation, unlike the subtle brightness Felix's eyes had to them. She had light brown hair that was bundled up in a plastic cap on top of her head, just two long pieces framing her face being shown.

Doctor Thomas seemed to be a pretty chill guy. He wasn't as serious as Doctor Hudson or as uptight as Doctor Kendall. He was making light-hearted jokes and comments as they worked, Doctor Hudson giving him soft smiles every once in a while and Doctor Kendall whining saying they were getting annoying very quickly.

Doctor Thomas was a well-fit guy with dark messy hair under his cap and sharp green eyes.

I felt like he and Adrien would get along well if they ever met, they seemed to have the same sense of humor.

I watched as they slowly finished up the test and then said their respective goodbyes.

Doctor Thomas said that someone would come by later to take Felix's blood and give him food in a few hours and there would be different nurses coming in every few minutes to make sure his heart rate was still normal.

I could sense Doctor Kendall wanted to say something more to me but she was simply dragged out by Doctor Hudson as Doctor Thomas gave me a soft smile and a wave before following the other two out of the room.

I sigh, walking back over to the bed. I sit by the chair and grab Felix's chill hand again, playing with his fingers.

I sit in silence, listening to the soft sound of his heart monitor beep and the rise and fall of his chest.

He wasn't speaking yet and even the simple act of keeping his eyes open seemed to tire him out.

He had a tube pumping his blood type and other fluids into his system, most likely because he lost a lot when he got shot and fell unconscious before he was taken into the ambulance.

Sure enough, nurses did come in and check his heart rate and other things every so often.

Others came in and checked his blood levels and gave him a tray full of small soft foods, which was apparently all Felix's body could currently handle in this state.

Slowly but surely, Felix got better and better as weeks passed.

He was able to keep his eyes open for longer and was soon able to sit up with help from other people.

He had a speech therapist working with him to help develop and make sure he didn't have any permanent damage done to his brain.

He seemed to have to try really hard to make a sentence that made any sense at all and couldn't get out of bed by himself.

But some progress was still progress.

That's what the doctors kept telling me.

It was hard to believe but I guess him being awake and well while struggling was better than him just being unconscious and only able to lay there.

According to the speech therapist, it was very helpful if I had mini conversations with Felix just to get him used to talking and using his voice again.

We could have been talking about something as insignificant as the weather, it wouldn't have mattered.

But neither of us really cared what we were talking about, we just enjoyed each other's company.

Today was one of those days.

We were sitting watching some dumb show on the pixel hospital tv when Felix grabs the remote from my grip and shuts it off.

I sit up from laying on his side and help him sit up as well. I sat on the bed facing him as he leaned up against the pillows and stared between me and the wall.

I gave him a look as if asking if there was something he needed or just wanted to talk about or hear me talk about.

He gave a small shrug and made a gesture that I should just start talking instead.

I gave a smile and just started my rant about nothing and everything.

And then, all of a sudden we were talking: well mostly I was talking and Felix was giving head gestures and whispering short replies. Before I knew it, I started to notice that Felix had stopped answering any of my questions or comments completely.

I gave a worried look as he stared blankly at the empty wall behind me.

"Fe? Are you okay?" I attempt to grab his hands to calm him down.

He quickly looks back at my figure, his pale face turning red.

He flinches at my touch and balls his fists up in front of his chest. I knew he wasn't going to hurt me, it was just an old anxious habit he developed in years prior.

I let him calm down a little bit before pushing an answer or explanation from him to explain what was happening.

He didn't answer for a minute and I grew more and more worried. "Fe? Is something wrong?"

He takes a sharp breath and looks up from his view in his lap to meet my eyes.

"Are you okay?" I ask him as he chews his bottom lip, another anxious habit.

He paused, taking the time to carefully stumble out the words he wanted to say.

"Yeah, just worried about something. You, actually."

Worried about me? Why would he possibly be worried about me?

"Huh? Is something wrong?" I looked down at his hands but decided not to grab at them, just watching as his lanky fingers fiddled with the top buttons on his thin hospital gown.

"N-no...I just...." He stutters on his words as he barely chokes out the sounds.

I gently rubbed his shoulder, letting him know that I would let him say whatever he needed to say. It clearly appears to be bothering him.

"It's alright, take your time. You don't have to tell me if you're not ready." I say, gently rubbing his shoulder.

His fists slightly shook as his air came out in shaky breaths. "I-I just...."

I tilt my head in sympathy, curious what he could be getting himself so worked up about...

"Are you okay?"

I knew it was a stupid question but I tried to calm him down at least a little before it escalated to a full anxiety attack.

He gave sharp breaths out, playing with his gown buttons and his eyes going in between watching his lap and watching the wall behind where I was sitting.

"No, I just...." The blond started but I cut him off.

"Fe, it's okay." I try to take his hands and he rips them away from me.

My eyes widened and so do his.

He mutters a quick apology as I start to get up and walk towards the door.

"I-I'll let you calm down a little." I try to calm down and give him his space before he grabs a hold of my wrist.

I give him a look of surprise as he pulls me back in front of him where I previously sat.

"Fe..." I start but he shushes me.

"I don't want this to ruin what we have, is all. I can't lose you." He looks up at me, his eyes shining in the small fluorescent light.

I sit back down again, gently wiping his tears with my thumb. "Fe, you'll never lose me. No matter what, I promise you that I'll always be here for you no matter what either one of us is going through."

He seems to doubt me but I give him a reassuring look.

He looks back down to his lap, continuing to fidget.

We sit in silence for a few more seconds before he gives a deep sigh.

"Just..... I-.... I'm in love with you, alright?!" He puts his hands on each side of my head, making sure I'm looking him right in the eyes.

I didn't hear him at first so I asked him to repeat it.

He gets embarrassed rather quickly, mumbling a little louder than before but still not clear enough to understand what he's saying.

After a few more minutes of small frustration, I get the gist of what he's trying to convey to me.

"Fe.." I put my hands on top of his as small tears rolled down his cheeks.

I squeeze his hands as a soft sob leaves his throat. My heart aches as I try to calm him down as best I can.

Felix wasn't a huge crying person, but when he did, you knew it was really bad.

He starts to violently shake and sob and I pull him towards me.

He buried his head into the crook of my neck as his body gently shook with sobs.

I ran a finger through his hair and whispered soft sweet nothings in his hair, allowing him to cry it out and waiting till he was ready to talk to me.

I held his small frame near me. He was much taller than me and had a bigger build but I supposed being asleep for so long and barely picking at his hospital food was making his body skinnier and leaner than it would have been a few months ago.

Eventually, he managed to calm down enough to speak again.

He gave a bitter laugh and pulled his head away from me enough to look up and meet my eyes. "I f-f*cked up, didn't I...?" His voice still slightly shook with hiccups as if he was trying not to start crying again.

I rubbed a hand over his face, another stray tear ran down his face as his chest shook roughly.

"No, no, Fe. You didn't ruin anything.." I keep running my fingers through his hair and he puts his head back against my neck and allows me to keep doing it.

I knew that was calming for him so I knew he secretly loved when I did for him whenever he was really anxious.

I didn't mind, I was happy to help him when he needed me. I knew how bad his head could get sometimes and I wanted to help him as best I could.

It was a few more minutes before he spoke up again.

"....Really?..."

"Yes, really. You haven't messed anything up. Plus, how could you when I feel the same way?" I gave him a soft smile as he looked as if he didn't believe I was serious.

He pulled away again and looked away with a shocked face. His glazed icy blue eyes look down at his lap, slightly turning his lips into a small smirk.

"I swear to god if you're messing with me." He says, sort of in a joking manner but his facial expression looked too serious to be joking.

"No, No. I'm not, I promise." I put a hand on his cheek and he looked up at me, placing his hand on top of mine.

I ran a finger over his cheek and he leaned into my touch.

His eyes flicker down to my lips and back up to my eyes, wanting me to take the message.

I chuckle softly, starting to lean in.

My heart went crazy in my chest and I could feel Felix's starting to race as well.

He rolls his eyes endearingly and leans in as well to meet me and close the space in between us.

We were inches apart and about to close the distance when a voice rang out throughout the room.

"Hey! This is a hospital room! Not an exotic dance club! Make out on your own time. Not mine."

I rolled my eyes, not even needing to turn my head to know that Doctor Kendall was standing there.

Felix gave me a disgusted look, showing he disliked her just as much as I did.

I got off the bed and allowed her to have more room and small check-up tests on Felix to make sure his medication was working and our progress was actually succeeding to make him well enough to be discharged.

Doctor Kendall eventually brought up that she had to take another longer test and that I needed to leave for it.

She suggested that I go down to the cafeteria or the gift shop or something in the lobby but I could tell she was trying to get rid of me.

Soon Doctor Thomas came back in with a nurse named Nurse Addams and started the test.

This time I guess I wasn't as lucky cause they basically shoved me out of the room and slammed the door behind me.

I don't think I'll ever get Felix's look out of my head. He did not look happy at all to be trapped in a room with all those strangers poking at him and pestering him with questions.

If he starts to have another attack, he might have to be put on a temporary oxygen tank.

I told Felix I promised to come back and that I'd bring him back something his doctors said he could have and something easy enough for him to digest and be able to keep down.

I looked around the gift shop for a bit but there wasn't much there and I was getting dirty looks from the women next to the religious fridge magnet display so I decided to walk out and head towards the cafeteria.

There weren't very many people there and there wasn't much but I managed to get just enough for Felix to have at least a decent meal.

I was about to grab drinks and pay when I felt a pair of wheels roll over my feet.

I yell out in pain and surprise, dropping the plate to the ground. The plate shatters and the food spills all over the floor.

I look up to see a mortified little girl spin around towards me in a small wheelchair and a woman that looked like her mother running towards us.

"Bella! You know you're supposed to be more careful of your surroundings! You bumped into his poor woman and made her drop all her food. Apologize!"

Bella looked down shamefully, folding her arms in her lap as her mother finally caught up to us, slightly panting.

"I'm sorry, Miss." She looked up after a couple of seconds and I watched as her brown eyes lit up as if she recognized me. But I prayed she didn't draw any extra attention to it.

I was here to see Felix, not have the paparazzi swarm me everywhere I go.

They had already snuck into Felix's room a few times and the hospital had to ban them and double security since they kept finding ways to get in and it was overwhelming the patients resting.

I bent down to pick up the broken pieces of glass, careful not to cut my hand in the process.

I grabbed spare paper towels to clean up the food then finished, throwing it away and turning my attention back to the woman and her daughter.

"I am so sorry about my daughter, miss! Please let me buy you another meal!"

I was about to deny, saying that she seemed to need her money more and I had plenty to spare.

She gave me a pleading look. "I insist, it's the least we could do. "

I finally agree, letting the woman pay for my meal and a couple of bottles of water.

However, I managed to get the woman's name and number so that I could pay her back, even when she insisted that she really didn't mind.

I found out the woman's name was Elizabeth but her friend's called her Liz, and her daughter Isabella or just Bella was in the hospital for Bella's condition.

She had been diagnosed with cancer a few months after she was born. Liz tried to get her a prosthetic leg but it didn't work very well and was way above their price range.

My heart sank when Liz told me that since the cancer was spreading faster than the cancer treatment was working, Bella was forced to be in a hospital for the rest of her life.

Which tragically, might not be that long. Liz said she tried to spend as much time with her daughter she has left as possible. She said that she wouldn't know what to do when she wasn't a mother anymore, Bella was her everything due to her not having a husband and not having any other children.

I sat and talked to them for a while and they seemed to be very kind, fair people. Liz spent all of her money on treatment for Bella that wasn't working anymore so that she didn't have as much money for food and rent anymore. And not being able to spend as much time with Bella due to having to work all these extra hours at work.

I didn't realize how long exactly I spent talking to them until I pulled out my phone and checked the time.

I quickly said goodbye to Bella and her mom, grabbing the tray and water and rushing back up to Felix's room before he thought I forgot my promise of coming back.

I gently push open the door to see all the doctors gone and Felix laying on his side, facing the opposite way of the door.

I walk towards the bed, setting the trays and waters down and carefully rubbing Felix's back. "Hey, I'm back and I brought food and water. Are you doing okay?"

He gives me a stern look then goes back to staring at the wall.

Ouch, that's harsh. But I get why he's a little upset with me.

"Look, I'm sorry. I just got caught up talking to this really nice mom and her daughter and I lost track of time." I sit on the bed, extending the tray and waters out towards him. "Forgive me?"

He stares at me with an unreadable emotion plastered across his face before eventually making an effort to sit up across from me.

I help him eat what he can, making sure he drinks water so his throat won't be as dry.

He seemed to be talking better so I was grateful he wasn't that mad at me.

He seemed to notice I was the quieter one this time and paused in the middle of eating to look at me. "What's up with you? You've been oddly quiet while I haven't been able to shut up. What's up with that?"

I rub my arm awkwardly, a million different thoughts running through my head but one of them bugging me the most.

Miss Y/N. Woman. Miss.

What's wrong with me? That shouldn't bug me because that's what I am.

But why does it feel so...wrong?

I awkwardly ignored his question and he set the tray to the side and grabbed my hand to keep me from playing with my choker, a thing I did when I was lying or trying to hide something.

Felix knew this, of course, so he could tell I was trying to cover something up.

"I know you're lying. What's up with you?"

I didn't answer and Felix tried to push me a bit more before finishing his food and water and setting the remains on the cart next to his bed.

He yawns and I chuckle softly.

I lay down and allow him to lay on my side.

He lays his head lightly on my chest as I play with his hair.

"So you're really not gonna tell me why you're upset?" He asks softly as I give a small hum in response, carefully lopping my fingers in and out of his shaggy blond hair.

"Not if you don't tell me why you were being so stubborn with the nurses."

He opens his mouth as if he's going to say something but quickly closes it.

Instead of giving a reply, he cuddles closer to me and buries his head further into my chest to hide his rosy cheeks.

I just barely hear him mutter, "Fair point..."

I laugh softly, nuzzling my face into his hair and kissing the top of his head. "Checkmate, Agreste," I whisper softly.

He laughs softly before yawning again.

Felix seemed to be extremely tired so I allowed him to sleep on me as I just kept playing with his hair.

I didn't plan on falling asleep, just laying there for a while and waiting for Felix to rest up.

I didn't realize I fell asleep until my eyes flicker open and I hear a groan on top of me.

I look over to the side table, fishing my rather loudly ringing phone out of my bag.

I don't even bother looking at the ID as I press accept the call and bring it up to my ear.

"Hello?" I ask groggily as Felix tries to get comfortable on me again.

I wake up a little more when I hear Adrien's voice in my ear.

"Hey, Y/N! How's Felix doing?"

It takes me a couple of seconds to process the question, rubbing my eyes and sitting up enough to be able to comprehend what was happening.

I smile adoringly down at Felix who in turn lays his head in my lap and allows me to keep playing with his admirable bed head.

"He's doing really well, the doctors said that he's very lucky. Not many people will recover fully without some sort of permanent physical or mental condition. Although he'll have to walk with crutches due to his limp, he's supposed to be careful and not overexert until his body heals fully. "

I pause, taking the time to look down at the once rash man, peacefully sleeping in my lap.

How in the world did we go from trading insults in between various photoshoots and faking chemistry for tv interviews to now comforting each other and actually growing mutual feelings towards one another?

"That's amazing! Tell him I hope he feels better." Adrien pauses to talk to someone on the other side of the line then speaks back into the phone. "Not to add onto your list of worries, but Austin keeps asking when you and Fe are coming home."

A wave of dread washed over me. Shoot. I forgot about Austin...

"I'll be home soon, I promise," I said into the speaker as Felix sleepily busied himself playing with the hand that wasn't holding my phone.

Again, there was speech on the other line before Adrien came back on. "Alright, I'll see you when you get back. See you, tell Felix I say hi. Bye!" A dial tone rang as the call ended.

I started to get up when Felix kept a grip on my hand and pulled me back.

I turned back to him and gave a pitying look. "Fe, I gotta go. Austin needs me and I'm sure Luka will have dinner ready. Plus I've been here for a while, I'm sure visiting hours are almost over."

Felix looked disappointed and kept a tight grip on my hand.

"Fe, I promise I'll be back bright and early tomorrow. "

Felix gave me a strict look and held onto my hand.

"I'll bring food with me and I'll even let Austin come with me." I watched his eyes light up a bit when I mentioned Austin. Felix could pretend he didn't care all he wanted but I knew he had grown a fondness for the little tike.

"Fine. As long as you keep your promise. I'm holding you to bring me food that's edible." He let go of my hand and laid back down on his back, closing his eyes and letting out a soft sigh.

"I will, I promise." I leaned over to kiss his forehead and smiled when I heard a soft snoring and slow breathing.

I guess all the talking had tired him out, I felt so bad. Felix hardly ever slept this much and I could tell how much this was hurting his body.

I walked out of the room just as Doctor Thomas walked in. We exchanged greetings as I left and he went to check Felix's heart levels.

I texted Adrien I was heading home and got in my car to start it.

I quickly drove home, pulling in the Agreste gate and walking inside.

As soon as I walked in the door, Austin nearly tackled me in a hug.

I let out a surprised laugh as I looked down at him smiling brightly up at me.

"Hey, Buddy. You miss me?"

"Bunches! You were gone for sooo long!" He whines as I chuckle and lean down to pick him up.

"Is Felix with you?" He excitedly looked back behind me towards the door with bright eyes.

"Nope, sorry, bud. He still needs to get better." I say as he gives a small pout and leans his head against my shoulder and I carry him into the kitchen.

Luka had his back turned and was facing towards the stove, talking to Adrien who was next to him sitting on the counter.

Luka didn't notice us but Adrien looked up and smiled, jumping off the counter to come and greet us.

"Hey, Y/N! How's Fe doing?" Adrien walked over to hug me as I put Austin on the ground and my keys on the dining table.

"Well he's up and can form full sentences, but he's sleeping a lot and seems super exhausted all the time," I said, chewing my lip as Adrien gave me a saddened look.

"Hey, you guys wanna help with dinner?" Luka changed the subject.

Adrien and Austin beamed while I nodded, shooting him a thankful look.

"It's alright, I can do it." I walk up and take the spatula from Luka's hand. "You and Adrien go and relax, you guys have been working all day and taking care of Austin while I was up at the hospital."

"You sure, Y/N?" Adrien asked even when I could see the tiredness in his and Luka's faces.

I nodded again and Adrien dragged Luka into the living room.

I look down at Austin by my feet. "Wanna help?"

"Yeah!" He said excitedly.

I finished what Luka was cooking as Austin helped.

Pretty soon we finished and I plated the food, asking if Austin could go get Luka and Adrien.

"Is he dead?!" I hear a scream from the living room.

I left the food on the stove and the plates on the table, rushing into the other room.

My body relaxed when I saw Luka with Adrien laying on him with Adrien's head in his neck crook, and Austin sitting on his knee.

Luka chuckles. "It's alright, little dude. He's fine." He nudged Adrien, causing the blond to snore loudly, letting out a groan and burying his face further into Luka's neck.

"Come on, Kitten. Wake up." Luka poked his boyfriend gently as Austin titled his head.

"Are you sure he's not dead?" Austin asked as Luka ruffled his hair.

"Nope, just a deep sleeper. Always has been, he gets more like a cat every day."

I chuckled softly, trying to calm my racing heart and the adrenaline speeding through my mind. "Well, when that cat's awake, dinners ready."

Adrien opened one eye at the mention of food and his taller boyfriend fondly rolled his eyes.

"Oh, so that will wake you up? I see how it is, Kitten." Luka gently sets Austin on the ground and sits Adrien next to him to get up and walk into the kitchen.

I chuckle, following Luka into the kitchen as I hear Austin and Adrien exclaim and run after us.

I finished plating the food as Luka stood next to me and Adrien came up with Austin on a piggyback ride on his back.

Adrien puts down and hugs Luka from behind, making the taller man smile warmly and affectionately ruffle the blond's hair.

"When you two lovebirds are done, the food is on the table. "I tease, setting a plate in front of Austin.

He cheerfully thanks me and I smile before setting the rest of the food down and sitting down myself.

We all ate and talked about our days, Luka and Adrien playfully teasing each other and Austin very eagerly telling us about the coloring pictures he made for Felix when he gets out of the hospital.

Soon enough we finish eating and Luka gets up to take our plates. Adrien gets up to help him.

I turn to Austin, his food all over his face and him barely keeping his eyes open.

"Hey, buddy. You wanna go have a bath then head off to bed?" I ask as Austin rubs his eyes then looks sleepily up at me.

"I'm not," He pauses to yawn, "tired.."

"Hey, bud, I'll make you a deal." Luka walks into the dining room with us. "If you take a bath, I'll make cookies and you can have one before bed, that sound like a deal?"

Austin's eyes lit up and he nodded furiously.

I lead Austin upstairs as Adrien and Luka start on the cookies.

I help Austin wash his hair and give him new clothes to change into right as Luka calls up the stairs that the cookies are done.

Austin and I walk downstairs to see cookies on the stove and Luka and Adrien covered head to toe in flour.

"Something happen down here?" I said in between laughter as Austin giggled.

"We had a bit of a...situation," Luka said as Adrien shook the flour out of his hair.

"I can see that," I say in between laughter, grabbing a cookie for myself and handing one to Austin.

He eats happily as I playfully tease the embarrassed couple.

We were all laughing and joking around when suddenly Adrien said, "This is great but you know what would make it even better? If Felix was here with us!"

Adrien realizes what he said as Luka stays silent and I stare down at my feet.

Adrien frantically apologizes as I playfully throw more flour at him.

The mood instantly changes as soon enough, I'm just as much covered in flour as Luka and Adrien are.

We were all laughing until footsteps approached and Adrien freezes.

"N-Nathalie! W-we can explain!"

Nathalie rubs the bridge of her nose, sighing.

"Please don't tell my father! W-we'll-" Adrien tries to cover when Nathalie interrupts him.

"As long as this gets cleaned up, I see no point in telling your father. You kids are lucky he's on a business photoshoot in Milan, but as long as this mess isn't here by the time he comes back from the trip I'll make sure he doesn't see it on the security tapes."

"Thank you, Nathalie!" Adrien hugs her and she smiles before softly pushing him away.

"You're welcome, Adrien. Just make sure this mess is cleaned up."

"Of course, ma'am. We'll make sure it's cleaned up." Luka chimes in, wrapping an arm around Adrien's waist as Nathalie gives another small smile and walks out of the kitchen.

I help Luka clean up while Adrien takes a half-asleep Austin up the stairs.

We finished wiping up the flour, putting the cookies in Tupperware, and walking up the stairs.

Luka and I said our goodnights as he walked towards Adrien's room and I walked towards Felix's.

As I walked down the hall, I heard Adrien singing.

I softly pushed open the door. Adrien didn't sing very often but when it did, it was incredible.

He was holding Austin in his lap, singing a song Felix told me their mother sang when the twins were kids.

Adrien played with his hair as Austin's small eyes fluttered shut.

I smiled softly as I closed the door and walked away.

I walk into Felix's room, turning on the bedside lamp and grabbing clothes from the closet.

I shower and change, drying my hair with a towel as my phone rings in the bedroom.

I unplug it, answering and holding it up to my ear. "Hello?"

There was silence and I repeated the greeting before loud shuffling on the other line.

After about five minutes of incoherent yelling, I decided to hang up the phone.

"Weird wrong numbers." I muttered, dropping the phone onto the bed and walking back into the bathroom.

I finish doing my hair then get ready for bed and fall asleep.

I woke up the next morning with Adrien yelling up the stairs, the smell of breakfast from the kitchen, and the sound of Austin's voice in my ears.

"Y/N! Y/N! Wake up! Adrien said we could go see Felix after breakfast!"

My eyes opened to Austin excitedly jumping up and down from the doorframe.

I laugh softly, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes and sitting up.

Austin told me to get ready, shutting the door and running hurriedly down the stairs.

I get up, get dressed, and brush my hair. I grab my phone and my shoes and walk down to the kitchen.

Adrien was in the living room helping Austin with his shoes and Luka was in the kitchen plating breakfast.

"Hey, Luka," I say and open the fridge as Luka turns and smiles at me.

"Morning, Y/N. Hope you slept well, once Adrien and Austin are ready we'll eat then go up and see Felix." He says, turning off the stove and I pour juice into a cup.

"Sounds good," I say as Adrien and Austin walk into the room.

"Hey, Adrien. Hey, Austin." I say, smiling at the blond and ruffling the small brunet's hair as Luka passes out plates.

Adrien greets me back as Austin giggles.

We all quickly eat and finish getting ready then drive up to the hospital.

After getting temperature tested and signing in, we took the elevator up to Felix's room.

Luka went to go find some doctors with Austin while Adrien and I went into Felix's room.

The blond was presumably sleeping with his eyes shut and laying back on the bed. Adrien went on one side of Felix while I went on the other side.

"Hey, Fe. It's Adrien and Y/N, how are you doing?" Adrien says softly, sitting down in a chair by his bed as I fidget with my sleeve, anxious not to touch him in case he didn't want me to.

Felix slowly flutters his eyes open, sitting up with a groan and leaning back against the wall behind him.

He looks to Adrien then to me, his harsh eyes from being woken up softening when he sees the worried looks on our faces.

"What are you doing here?" Felix asks groggily.

"What do you mean? Y/N and I are here to make sure you're okay." Adrien says sympathetically as Felix sighs softly.

"I just assumed Y/N would break her promise and you guys wouldn't come back," Felix says, staring out the window as my eyes widened.

"What? Why would I lie to you?" I ask as Adrien adds, "Yeah, Y/N wouldn't do that. We're always here for each other, I'm your brother and Y/N is..." Adrien trails off, most likely hoping we'd fill in the blanks ourselves.

"I just assumed you wouldn't care anymore especially from how I treat you both." Adrien and I share a look of guilt as Felix continues. "Besides, Father couldn't bother to show up so I assumed neither would you two."

Now it was Adrien's turn to be surprised, his eyes solemn and looked down to the floor at his feet.

We were lucky the tense mood disappeared when Austin came running in with Luka right behind him.

Luka walked over to Adrien while Austin ran over to Felix and me.

"Jeez, that kid is fast. I don't know how you guys keep up with him, I can barely keep up with this one." Luka wraps an arm around his boyfriend and Adrien leans on his shoulder.

"Felix! Felix!" Austin was practically buzzing as he held onto my arm and the cards he made Felix in the other arm.

Felix's eyes softened even more as he looked at him."Hey, kid."

"Look! I made you these!" Austin continues to bounce as he puts the cards near Felix on the bed.

Felix picks them up, looking through each one. He smiled fondly at the messy drawings and illegible handwriting, putting them on his side table when he was done.

He thanked Austin softly and Austin's smile grew twice in size.

Felix sat with Austin on the bed watching the mindless cartoons on the hospital tv. I sat off to the side in a stiff plastic chair and Adrien and Luka sat snuggling on the small windowsill.

The rest engaged in comfortable small talk while Austin was mesmerized by the flashing colors on the screen.

My body was tense, the only thought going through my head being what happened with Felix. Or should I say what almost happened.

I guess it was obvious how anxious I was because I suddenly felt a hand in mine.

I looked down to see Felix softly clutching my hand, running his thumb over the back of it to calm me down.

When I looked back up, he was staring right at me.

I watched as he looked me straight in the eyes, down to my lips, then back up at the tv nonchalantly as if I didn't just watch him do that.

I felt my face instantly heat up. That tease.

I mentally scolded him as he smirked softly and continued playing with my hand like he knew exactly what effect he had on me.

I was about to say something when a doctor came in to check Felix's blood pressure and refill the fluid in his IV.

Nurses came in frequently to check his levels and we all just hung out and spent time with him until later in the evening.

Austin was tired so Luka held him in his arms and took him into the hall with Adrien.

I was about to go too when Felix grabbed my wrist. I turned back to him and his face was completely red.

I turned back around, about to say something when Doctor Kendall walked in.

"In case you can't read, visiting hours are over." She says snarkily, checking Felix's blood levels on her computer.

Felix glared her down then looked at me as if saying not to leave him alone with her.

I was about to defend myself when Adrien walked back in and put a hand on my shoulder. "Austin's getting restless so we're probably gonna pick up food and head home. You coming, Y/N?"

I sigh, holding my tongue because I really shouldn't be rude to the people who are supposedly keeping Felix alive.

"Yeah, I'm coming." Adrien and I wave to Felix and walk back out to Luka and Austin.

We all got food and went home. I kept thinking about what happened, I didn't even know what was happening between Felix and I anymore.

I didn't know how to bring it up but we couldn't just ignore it.

I tried not to focus on it but it was all I had been thinking about.

That burning thought in the back of my mind only got worse when Felix was released a few days later.

He was bandaged around his chest and couldn't walk very well so he was on crutches and needed help walking and especially going up stairs.

Gabriel Agreste wasted no time getting Felix back into photo shoots, despite the fact that he couldn't walk very well.

Adrien and I kept saying that Felix should be resting and not over exerting himself but Mr. Agreste wouldn't listen to us so there wasn't much we could do about it.

One day, the five of us were walking home from a photo shoot. Surprisingly, my mother wasn't there so Felix and I took engagement photos while Adrien modeled for his father's brand. Luka and Austin came and stayed for moral support.

They hadn't fed us at the photo shoot so we were all starving, all deciding to stop at a nearby cafe.

Austin was on Luka's back and Austin was laughing as Luka and Adrien were talking to each other while Felix and I stayed behind them.

Felix had sort of gotten used to using his crutches but he was still slow while using them, not that I blamed him.

As we got closer to the cafe, I realized that it was the same one as Felix and I's "first date".

Felix seemed to realize too as his eyes widened and he looked at me.

"Well, awfully coincidental we're back here again." Felix noted.

"Yep, too bad this isn't really a date like last time."

"But it could be," he teased. "Kind of wish the others weren't here and it was just us."

"In that case, maybe we could have another date soon." I teased back as I watched Felix's cheeks heat up.

I laughed as Felix sighed. "Y/N, we should talk."

I wiped my eyes, confused as to what he would say next.

"I don't want to play anymore games, we can't keep living like this."

I started to say something but decided to let him keep talking.

"We both know this is more than just an arranged marriage."

"Yeah, we both like each other but neither of us is doing anything about it." I say, playing with my sleeve.

Felix sits down at a table near the cafe door, leaning his crutches against the wall next to him and signaling me to sit down.

I sat down as he avoided my eyes, chewing his lip.

"Y/N, I...I don't wanna marry you-"

I cut him off, starting to get upset and asking if he was serious.

"Will you let me finish!" He yells, exasperated.

"I don't want to marry you just because other people want us to get married, I want it to be on our own terms. I want it to be real, not a publicity stunt." He reaches over to grab my hand and keeps talking. "I feel real attraction to you, Y/N: and I know you feel the same. This is incredibly cliche and stupid sounding and if you dare repeat this to anyone, I'll deny it, but.."

He stops to catch his breath for a few seconds before continuing. "I want us to be official, a real couple. For us, not for the public. I want to be your boyfriend."

He looks up to see my reaction. I blush, hiding my face and running a hand through my hair.

"I want that too, Fe." I decide, keeping it simple.

The others were inside the cafe already, ordering. Felix told me to look at him and I did.

He grabbed my hand and asked if he could kiss me, I nodded and we both started to lean in when a voice rang out and we both broke apart.

"Y/N! Felix!" I look over to see Nathaniel running up to us, panting.

He finally got over to our table, widening when he saw our intertwined hands. "Sorry, did I interrupt something?"

I shyly pull my hand from Felix, earning a whine from him in return. I hid my embarrassment and looked over to Nathaniel. "What's up, Nath?"

He nervously looked over to Felix giving him the death stare then shrugging it off and looking back over to me.

"Sorry for running over like this but I need help?" I gave a confused look as Felix raised an eyebrow.

"Marc's nervous with his exchange student brother coming home. He and his mom are panicking and I saw you guys so I ran over because I didn't know what else to do and-" He started to ramble as I stood up and put hands on his shoulders.

"Breathe, Nath. We'll help." I send a look over to Felix who in turn rolls his eyes and reluctantly nods.

Nathaniel's body visibly relaxes. "Really? Thank you. Marc worries a lot and I don't always know how to handle it."

"It's no problem, I understand that completely." I give a knowing look to Felix as his cheeks burn from embarrassment and he looks away.

Adrien, Luka, and Austin came out of the cafe a few minutes later and agreed to help as well after we explained the situation.

Adrien and I walked behind to help Felix on his crutches while Luka walked ahead with Nathaniel and Austin on his hip.

We got to Marc's place soon enough with Marc pacing and his mom hurriedly cooking in the kitchen.

Nathaniel walks over to Marc, taking his hand as Marc squeezes it.

I saw Ezra and Juleka walk out of the kitchen talking. Well, Ezra was mostly the one talking as Juleka nodded along. They looked up, smiling as they saw us and walking over to Luka.

Luka hugged his sister and fistbumped his older brother. Ezra waved at me, I smiled and waved back as Felix sent a glare in his direction.

Ezra started to walk over while Felix leaned his crutches and body against the wall. He wrapped arms around my waist, pulling me towards his chest, burying his head into my shoulder. I blushed heavily as he let out a quiet mumble, "Mine."

Ezra widened his eyes, stopping in his tracks as Luka and Adrien smirked and Juleka smiled. Marc was shaking as Nath held him and attempted to calm his partner.

"Someone's jealous." Adrien teased. Felix growled at his brother then put his head back on my shoulder.

I smiled softly, blushing and ruffling his hair. His blush depends, snuggling his face further into my shoulder.

A car door was heard outside as Marc rushed outside with Nathaniel following close behind. Ezra walked outside with Juleka, Luka, Adrien, and Austin while I helped Felix walk outside.

The car door opened and out stepped a guy who looked about Luka or Ezra's age. He was fairly tall with dark hair and bangs that covered his eyes. His eyes were forest green and his outfit was simple yet stylish. He wore a black t-shirt with a white crescent moon that was tucked in under a slightly black blazer and dark worn in jeans with red sneakers.

"Dolan!" Marc ran forward to hug the stranger. The stranger smiles, hugging Marc back as Nathaniel walks up awkwardly.

The stranger known now as Dolan tilts his head at Nathaniel. Marc pulls back from Dolan, looking from his boyfriend back to the stranger.

"Hey, Dol. This is my boyfriend, Nathaniel." Marc laughs nervously as Nathaniel awkwardly smiles and holds his hand out to Dolan.

"Nice to meet you." Nathaniel says, shaking Dolan's hand.

"You too, I really appreciate you taking care of my little brother while I was gone over in America." Dolan says politely while shaking Nathaniel's hand.

"Dol, these are my friends: Juleka, Luka, Ezra, Felix, Adrien, and Y/N." Marc pointed us out one by one as we greeted Dolan.

Nathaniel lets out a sigh, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm kind of relieved you're not too overprotective over Marc. I was fully prepared to impress you, glad you're not a scary shielding older brother."

"Yeah, Dolan's usually pretty chill." Marc laughs softly as Dolan nods.

We all agreed to help Dolan unpack, helping bring his stuff into the house and to his bedroom.

Felix, Dolan, Ezra and I seperated to Dolan's new room while the rest went into the kitchen with Austin to help Marc and Dolan's mom cook.

We all go to Dolan's room, helping him unpack stuff. We all got to talking and found out that we actually had a lot in common.

'Hey, maybe we could all hang out sometime." I suggest as the boys tilt their heads up to look at me. "Since Dolan's new in town and all and doesn't know Paris very well yet."

"Yeah, that would be fun! I know what it's like being the new guy around town so I wouldn't mind helping show Dolan around." Ezra smiles over at Dolan as the other male slightly blushes and looks down at his feet.

"Yeah, thanks. I'd love that." Dolan smiles softly as Ezra digs through a box below his feet.

"Hey, man! This is really sick, did you take these all yourself?" He stands up holding a handful of photographs.

I walk over to him, looking over Ezra's shoulder. The photographs were all beautiful scenes with perfect lighting and effects that all looked all professionally done with the dates they were taken written on the back.

"Yeah, these are super cool!" I agree as Dolan smiles.

"Thanks! I've always loved photography ever since I got my first camera when I was five. It's my passion and honestly something I can see myself doing for a living. It's actually what I'm currently studying." Dolan starts then stops when he notices us all staring at him. "Sorry, too much information?"

"No, man. It's cool! My family and I are all musicians and the L/Ns and Agrestes are into fashion and modeling." Ezra states, signaling to Felix and I.

"That's really cool! You guys must love that, fashion's so cool." Dolan states as I chew my lip and Felix leans his back against the wall.

"Yeah, about that..." I started, being cut off by Mrs. Anciel saying lunch was ready.

We went to eat lunch, sitting around the small table and eating Mrs. Anciel's delicious food.

"I'm not used to cooking for this many people." Mrs Anciel says rather flusteredly.

"Yeah, sorry, Mom. Nate got a bit carried away."Marc laughed softly while patting his boyfriend's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I panicked. You and your mom were freaking out and I thought the more people to help, the better." Nathaniel says, looking down at his plate as Marc rubs his back.

"Well, we appreciate it." Marc leans over to kiss his cheek as Nathaniel turns as red as his hair.

"Alright, love birds. Finish your food." Mrs. Anciel teases as we all laugh playfully.

We all continued to eat and talk like friends. We got to know Dolan, Marc, and his mom better. I could see how they were related, they looked similar and all had the same sweet exterior.

Soon enough after lunch, we all washed out our plates and continued helping Dolan unpack his things.

After we all finished it was about sunset. Felix, Ezra, Dolan, and I found out we had more in common than we thought and we agreed to a hangout soon enough.

We walked out to the living room just in time to see Marc and Nathaniel walking into Marc's room with snacks, blankets, and movies in their hands.

"Make sure to keep the door open, you two!" Mrs. Anciel says from the couch.

"Mom!" Marc scolds as his and Nathaniel's faces look redder than Ladybug's costume. I watched them both walk away into Marc's room.

Felix uses his crutches to walk over to Adrien who was talking to Luka and Ezra.

"Hey, Y/N, right? Can I talk to you?" I turn my head to see Dolan standing near the corner of the room.

I walked over to him. "Sure! What's up, Dolan?"

"Can I ask a somewhat personal question?" he asks, rubbing a hand up and down his arm as I raise an eyebrow.

"Depends, what is it?"

"Do you..." He pauses, looking over to the others then back to me. "Are you and Ezra like, a thing?"

"What?" I ask in disbelief.

"It's just, I saw how he kept looking at you and you two seemed rather close."

"Oh, uh," I look back over between Ezra and Felix then back at my feet. "We did for a minute, but it wasn't anything serious. And it's long over, plus I have a boyfriend now." I smile over at Felix who smirks in my direction then goes back to talking to Adrien.

"Do you think he still likes you?" Dolan asks as I look back over to him.

"Probably, but don't worry, nothing's there anymore." I paused, watching as he stared down at the floor. "Wait, do you like him?"

He looks up with panic in his eyes as his cheeks redden. "Um.. I.."

I give him a questioning look as he rubs the back of his neck. "Is it really that obvious...?"

"A little bit." I chuckle softly. "It's cool though, dude. Ezra's super sweet, he deserves someone who would treat him well." I smile as Dolan visibly relaxes.

"You really think I have a shot?"

"Couldn't hurt to try, right?" I say as he looks up and smiles softly.

"Y/N, we're leaving. Come on." Felix comes over to us with the crutches and I let him lean on me.

"Alright, sleepy-head." I tease as Felix yawns like a cat and leans a head against my shoulder.

"I'm not tired: but Austin is, so we're leaving." Felix shakes his head and yawns again.

"If you say so." I giggle and kiss Fe's head, watching him blush. I smile softly down at him then look back up to Dolan who was watching Ezra behind us. "We're gonna head home. Bye, Dolan."

He looks back at us and smiles. "Alright, nice to meet you guys. Goodnight."

"Night." I ruffled Felix's hair as he tried to keep his eyes open.

"You guys make a cute couple." Dolan whispers in my ear as he walks by. I blush and give him a playful glare. He smiles softly and walks over to his mom.

Adrien and Luka walk over to us with Adrien yawning and Austin asleep in Luka's arms.

"I'm gonna stay for a bit to help clean up and get to know Dolan better, if that's alright." Ezra looks over to Mrs Anciel for approval and she nods.

Ezra grins and looks over to Dolan who's cheeks redden and he looks away.

"Alright, see you later, Ez." Luka fist bumps Ezra as Juleka side hugs him.

We say our goodbye and all walk out. Adrien walked with Luka and Jukela while I helped Felix sleepily walk with his crutches.

We drop Juleka off at the boat. Rose runs out to greet her and Luka goes in for a minute to see his mom and get some new clothes after handing Austin to Adrien.

Once Luka was out of sight, Adrien turned to me. "Y/N, why didn't you guys tell me?"

"What are you talking about?" I stared at the blond with my arms around Felix to help him stand.

"That you guys were dating."

My eyes widened, looking at the man in my arms. "Fe, you told him?"

"I didn't know it was something we were supposed to be hiding." He sleepily mumbles.

"It's not, just isn't it a little soon to be telling people?" I questioned as he shakily lifted his head up to look me in the eyes. His blue eyes looked so drained and lifeless, guess the hospital took more out of him than I thought.

"It's been nineteen years, I'd say it's long overdue." He looked at me very seriously as I mentally processed what he said.

It's not like I minded Felix telling Adrien about us, Adrien's my best friend and Felix's twin brother. And I guess it was sort of obvious when we went from insulting each other to practically cuddling in public.

But nineteen years? He liked me our entire lives? I never would have guessed he felt that way.

Before I could say anything, Luka walked out with his mom. Anarka said hi to Adrien and I, she would have said hi to Felix too if he was awake enough.

She went back up into the boat and we continued walking home. Austin was completely passed out and Felix was half awake.

We got home and in the gate, I started to take Austin when Adrien said he and Felix would take him to bed.

Before I could protest, Adrien was helping Felix up the long staircase and holding Austin.

Luka and I made a quick snack before he went to Adrien's room and I went to Felix's.

I walked by to hear Felix telling Austin a story as Austin smiled and tried really hard to keep his eyes open. Adrien rubbed his back and held his crutches as I noticed the visible bags under Felix's eyes.

I smiled quietly to myself before leaving the boys and walking off.

I watched tv on my phone for a bit while eating my snack until Felix walks in about an hour later.

Felix lays the crutches down, climbing onto the bed next to me. "That kid is exhausting, everytime I finished a story and thought he was asleep he just asked me to tell another one. I had to keep making them up and Adrien was no help at all." He rubbed his temple and I got up to get his meds from my bag.

"That's really cute you did that for him, I'm sure that he loved it." I hand Felix his pills and water, watching as he blushes and glares at me.

"I'm not cute." Felix argues and I chuckled softly. I sat down next to him as he reluctantly took the pills and downs the water, putting the glass on his nightstand.

I finished my snack, cleaning up the small mess it made and getting up to throw my trash away. As soon as I laid back down, Felix laid on my lap.

I held my phone with my show playing in one hand and playing with Felix's hair with the other.

"You better not repeat this to anyone. " Felix mutters and I hum in response, curious what he could be talking about.

"I'm glad we stopped playing games. I'm glad I'm your boyfriend, Y/N."

I blush softly, leaning down to kiss his forehead. "Me too, Felix."

That was the last thing he said before his exhaustion won and he fell asleep.

I turned the light off, putting my phone on the table and laying down.

Felix lays down on my chest, his breathing light and scattered. I was told it would be for a while before his chest and lungs recovered.

I played with his hair until I finally grew tired and fell asleep myself.
