It was nearing fall when they first met

The oldest of the two was seven at the time while the other was six

That day was remembered clearly despite how young they were

Felix tumbled out of his bed bright and early

His bare feet hitting the hard wood flooring of his room with a whispered "oh" falling out of his mouth as his little body shivered

He grabbed his blanket and used it to wrap himself in a fluffy blue cocoon

He huffed out a pleased breath and got out his bed
His tiny feet tapping against the floor as he waddled over to his closet

He swayed a bit due to his "cocoon" being wrapped a little too tight, but he didn't care once the soft material rubbed against his cheek

He stood in front of his closet and clutched his blanket tighter around him

Felix was at the age where his mom still wanted to pick out his clothes for him
He didn't mind, but seeing his classmates wearing things they picked out themselves made him want to do the same

He wanted to be treated like a grown up

Looking at his shirts and pants, he found himself in a predicament

He didn't know what to wear

He stared at his closet for a solid four minutes with a pout and sighed in frustration
"Being a grown up is hard"

After a while he got an idea

Felix closed his eyes, twirled twice, and then walked closer towards his clothes

He reached a hand from his blanket and grabbed the first items he touched from the hangers and the piles of pants

He opened his eyes and smiled
"That was easy"

Felix went to the park with his mother an hour later after she changed him into a different outfit

He held onto her hand and grinned happily as he crunched fallen leafs underneath his light up shoes

He could feel the morning sun hitting his face gently and the wind blowing his slightly overgrown bangs out of his eyes

That's when Felix saw him

A boy around his age sitting under a tree by himself

The sleeves of his baggy black sweatshirt were too long for his arms, covering his hands completely when he touched his own hair to fix it when the wind blew against his head

Felix eyes widened at the thought of making a friend, he didn't have many at school, and squeezed his moms hand to get her attention

She looked down at him in slight concern
"What's wrong?"

Felix pointed at the boy and asked if he could go talk to him

"Ok but stay where I can see you"

The child nodded his head excitedly and unclasped their hands before running off

"I like your jacket," the boy sitting with his back against the tree trunk behind him heard
He looked up and saw a boy standing over him, his brown haired head blocking the sun from his view

"It's a sweatshirt"

The boys doe eyes grew bigger and his mouth parted open in thought of what to say next
"Well I like it," he said while tapping his foot on the grass so his shoe would light up

It was silent between the two boys after that

The youngest of the two stood for a while being completely ignored by the other and then decided to sit down

"My name is Felix" he said with a shy smile

The boy wearing the baggy sweatshirt stared at his face and fiddled with his fingers in thought

"I'm Changbin," he said and watched Felix's eyes sparkle

Felix began to talk about anything that came to his mind (dinosaurs, mostly dinosaurs) until Changbin joined in on the conversation

"T.rexes are the lamest dinosaurs"

"You're lame!"

Their friendship was born as red and orange leafs fell around them
The conversation being paused whenever leafs landed on Changbin's head and were plucked out of his hair by a giggly Felix

After that day they were inseparable

And then they weren't
