“Channie?” Felix whispers. He says it so quietly that Chan is only able to hear it because he saw his lips move. Chan nods. “Channie’s here, baby.” “C-Can I come over there?” “Of course,” Chan says softly. “And y-you won’t hurt me?” Chan doesn't let his tears fall. “No, baby, I won’t hurt you. Never.” “Do you promise?” “I promise, Lix. I swear on my life.” He watches Felix swallow. “O-Okay,” he says quietly. When Chan first met Felix, he was quiet, bruised, and flinching at everything around him. Time softened fear into trust, and trust into an easy, sweet friendship – one where everyone knew Felix was Chan’s favorite, and Chan was Felix’s safe space. But when feelings change into something new and a different kind of love starts to unfurl, Felix’s old fears resurface. Muscle memory developed through trauma and pain fights against the gentleness he knows he can trust. For Chan, loving Felix is so, so easy. It’s full of soft words, a steady presence, gentle care, unwavering kindness, and letting him move at his own pace until he can truly believe that this love is different, that he is safe, and that he will never be hurt again.
