'And? Did you sleep well?'

Felix was grinning mockingly over his scrambled eggs the next morning.

Minho tried not to think about him sitting in his lap, grinning down.

'Amazing'

He didn't want to give the younger the satisfaction of confessing what the tea had made him dream.

Also, if he thought about it, Felix surely knew the tea's effect quite well. He had probably planned it longhand, asking Minho about the special herbs already days ago.

'Sweet dreams?'

'The sweetest'

Minho hated himself.

The tea had to be some kind of seduction spell.

It had let him see Hyunjin, too.

Why Felix then?

Why not only Hyunjin?

Or a few others of his past lovers?

Why Felix?

Minho shouldn't feel that way about him.

But, well, he had fallen in love with the other already. This was just a logical consequence.

Nonetheless, it was bad.

And Minho shouldn't feel it. Any of it.

And thus Minho hated himself.

'No tea today?'

Felix had watched the older god moping. He was still grinning from ear to ear.

'Changbin'll bring me my vanilla tea'

'I could make you my special tea again?'

'God no'

'Why not? Was something wrong with it?'

The blonde flattered his lashes at Minho innocently.

'Didn't like the taste, that's all'

'Ah'

Felix continued eating.

Then he looked up.

'What's with that scar on your stomach?'

'I- what?'

For the first time this day, Minho completely surfaced from the dark puddle of his worrying thoughts.

'You have a scar on your chest'

Felix spoke as if he was explaining to a three year old.

'Right here'

He tapped on his torso, about where the ribcage ended, two inches to the right.

Exactly where Minho had a longish scar.

'When did you see it?'

'Remember? You heroically took off your shirt to save me from freezing. I saw everything'

'Oh right'

'And?'

'What?'

'How'd you get it? I didn't even know gods could get scars'

Minho sighed. He wouldn't get around telling Felix at least half of the truth.

'You know how I told you about the ban?'

'Mhm-mh'

Felix nodded. He was listening eagerly, food long forgotten.

'Well, the years before the others made the final decision to erect the ban were kinda... turbulent, to say the least'
