The next hurdle on Chan and Felix's expedition was boarding.
Chan seemed a little bit easier than before but it was nothing compared with what the actual flight was going to be.
"Hey lix you got all your stuff"
"Yep" Felix patted his bag "I checked in the coffee shop"
"Great" Seungmin smiled patting Felix's back "this should go well"
"To Norway!"
"Ten hour flight!" Hyunjin shouted with zero enthusiasm.
"It's going to be long" Felix sighed
"At least we have first class!" Hyunjin seemed to gain enthusiasm again.
"We do?" Chan said quietly
"Did you forget? You're like, mega famous" hyunjin deadpanned
"Oh yeah" Chan looked a little delirious, Felix hoped he'd sleep well on the plane.
"Boarding Soeul to Norway, first class in ten minutes"
"Looks like that's us" hyunjin grinned "guess we should get closer"
Felix felt Chan's grip tighten on his arm, poor guy was really scared.
"Channie, come on love you can do this" Felix said gently, slowly leading Chan to follow the group
"I feel sick"
"I know, I know" Felix mumbled as they walked past some people. Luckily there wasn't many papparazi, Felix would hate for Chan to have photos taken of him in such a vulnerable state.
"I'm so scared lix"
"There's no need to be channie, we have everyone right here and we will all do our best to look after you"
"I don't deserve you" Chan mumbled, his eyes stuck to the floor as they walked
"Of course you do, you deserve the world chris"
...
Once seated on the plane Chan seemed to be even worse than in the airport.
"Channie, you need to calm down" Chan was shaking, gripping the seat harshly
"I can't" Chan looked terrified, it was only five minutes until take off.
(An- I've never been in first class so I have no idea what it's like but I'm just gonna say their seats where right next to each other. This is my plane so that's how I'll make first class lmao)
"We're in this together" Felix leant over him to grab his seatbelt and buckle him in. Giving Chan's leg a little tap after.
Chan nodded grabbing the mints and pouring them into his mouth. Felix could hear the harsh crunching of his teeth, he would have been upset if it wasn't the only thing stopping Chan from screaming.
"Take off is in thirty mins" Jisung said as he passed them from the toilet.
"Thirty!" Chan squeaked, rocking harshly in his chair.
"Chan breath, breath" Felix grabbed Chan's hands holding them "copy me, in and out...nice and slow"
"O-ok ok ok ok" Chan breathing was shaky but much better than what it was.
Felix began to wonder why Chan never told him about him having aviophobia.
"That's it" Felix continued to coax Chan to breath "see easy"
Chan nodded, wiping his eyes with his sleeve.
"Cute"
"Stoppp" Chan whined turning away
"Are you blushing?" Felix teased ruffling Chan's hair
"No" Chan snapped scrunching up into a little ball.
"If this was all I had to do to make you forget about the plane I would have done it sooner"
Felix lee you absolute dumbass
Felix realised his mistake as soon as he said it, smacking the palm of his hand into his forhead.
Chan was crying, oh fuck
"Channie, no I'm sorry I didn't mean to mention it"
"Lixie I don't wanna be on a plane" Chan cried grabbing Felix and pulling him onto his lap. Thankfully there was enough space
"Shhhhh shhhh" Felix almost laughed at Chan's tone but kept it in. "It's ok...it's ok"
"Felix i dont want to diiieeeee"
"You're not going to die"
Chan didn't respond, letting out a muffled wail. Felix then looked over Chan's seat to see Jisung laughing his ass off.
"Chan, it will be over soon, you can sleep" Felix ran his hands through Chan's hair in an effort to calm him down.
"Thanks lix" Chan hummed leaning into Felix's hand, what would he do without him?
"Absolutely nothing"
"You heard that" Chan blushed eyes popping wide
"You may have mumbled it" Felix giggled, resuming his strokes in Chan's hair
"Well...it's true"
"Sleep" Felix smiled warmly, although he knew he'd have to wake Chan up in 30 minutes for take off
Honestly I miss the time Felix had this hair. I miss orange/pink haired Felix...I also miss orange haired Felix from get cool era lmao
