'I wanna show you something', Felix had said.

His smile had been dangerous.

It was a more or less normal sentence to say, though Minho's heart rate had sped up involuntarily.

That goddamn smile.

'What do you wanna show me?'

'Follow me'

And Minho did follow him.

Through the palace hallways, stairs up, stairs down, left and right.

Minho lost orientation after the second turn. Felix on the other hand seemed to be navigating quite confidently.

'I saw you dancing', the blonde suddenly said.

'You .. what?'

He showed Minho a small smile, somehow secretive.

'Changbin was playing piano for you and you danced'

'I... yeah'

Minho didn't know how he should feel about Felix knowing.

That he loved to dance had always been a private part of his life, never showed to anyone but his skeletons.

Felix watching him... was weirdly intimate. Especially since Minho hadn't noticed it.

And he didn't know if he was comfortable with it.

'I liked it'

Their gazes met.

'You... you did?'

'Mhm-mh' Felix nodded encouragingly. The odd smile was still on his lips.

'I'm out of practice'

'That wasn't noticable. Your dancing... it's magical. One can't help but stare at you. It's beautiful'

Warmth spread on Minho's cheeks.

'Thank you'

'I didn't know you could blush. How cute'

The younger giggled. Minho looked away.

He suddenly noticed where they were.

'What the hell are we doing here?'

'You'll see'

Felix grinned dubiously.

They were in the prisoner's complex, slowly making their way up to the tower room.

The blonde god unlocked the door and pulled Minho in.

He had an uneasy feeling seeing the small room. Yet that probably wasn't anything against how uneasy Felix must feel here.

He was the one who'd been chained in this room after all.

But as Minho looked over to the younger, he found him unaffected fumbling with something on the ground.

'There are still so many plants here'

Everywhere, green ranks, small flowers, their strong roots cracking up the stonework.

'I know, right?'

Felix sounded unbelievably proud.

Minho sighed.

'What are we doing here, princess? Did you want to show me the plants?'

The younger chuckled and gestured Minho to step closer.

'Nope. Come here'

He did.

'Sit down'

Minho sat down next to him, careful not to destroy any plants.
