Call Me Felix: Chapter 5
"Cryyyyy?" I jumped at the hand suddenly waving in front of my face, "You okay? You keep getting lost in thought or something." He smiled as he said this, curiosity in his eyes as they locked with mine, a blush spreading across my face. "O-oh uhm..yeah I'm fine! Just still sort of jet lagged I guess!" I said this as reassuringly as possible but he didn't seem to believe me, a look of skepticism on his face.
I took this as a sign to continue, saying the one line I knew could erase his worries, "Don't worry about it!"
This made him laugh as he finally let go of my hand, a sigh of relief escaping my lips as I made my way over to sit at the table. "So, what did you wanna eat?" He chimed, walking over and opening the fridge as he started skimming through it, "Any requests? You are my guest after all."
With this he turned and winked, flashing me a smile that made my face go beat red, "U-uh…surprise me?" His face lit up and he turned back towards the fridge as I said this, seeming to get an idea in his head.
I sat there smiling as he scurried around the kitchen. He wouldn't tell me what he was making though, simply giving me a "You asked for a surprise!" response each time I asked. Eventually I just sighed and sat there, my head resting in my hands as I let my eyes continue to follow him.
Whatever it was it smelled delicious, that was for sure.
I yawned and stretched my arms above my head as a plate was set in front of me before letting my eyes fall on it; some type of pasta with meatballs.
It looked absolutely amazing.
I was so preoccupied with the food that I almost didn't notice the fact that he was still standing next to me, just staring at me intently. When I finally realized his eyes were on me I glanced up at him, "Felix?"
"Well go on," He smiled, motioning towards the food, "Try it!"
After a moment I simply shrugged, lifting up my mask just enough so that my mouth was uncovered before swirling some of it onto my fork; as I did this I could tell he was watching my mouth, making me feel a bit awkward, but I ignored it.
I shoved the noodles into my mouth, my eyes almost immediately widening, "Oh my god! This is delicious!"
He smiled brightly and went to sit across the table from me, his own plate now in front of him, "Yay! I was hoping you'd like it!" I simply nodded and started shoveling the food into my mouth…I probably looked super unattractive but at the moment I didn't care, it was just so good!
"God damn Pewdie," I started, my mouth still a bit full, "What is this?!"
I looked up to see him eating now too, eyes still locked on me as he chuckled at how much I seemed to like the food. "It's garlic noodles and meatballs…Swedish meatballs." He smirked and wiggled his eyebrow as he spoke, making me laugh and nearly spit out my food in the process, "Well it's amazing! I didn't realize you could cook."
He faked a pouty frown and crossed his arms, "What's that supposed to mean? You trying to say something?"
"No, of course not!" I simply laughed more and shook my head as I finished up my plate, wiping my mouth and taking a drink of the water he'd set down next to me, "You just…don't look like the type of guy who cooks, that's all! Actually, I figured you'd be pretty terrible at it."
"Oh that's it!" He laughed and stood up as he finished his food, practically lunging over the table at me. I jumped up out of my chair and nearly fell over before bolting out of the room, "Noooo I didn't mean it!" I could hear his footsteps behind me so I quickly took a left into one of the hallways, opening and rushing into the very first door I found.
I'd only actually seen the bedroom and the kitchen so the house was very disorienting to me, and I quickly found out that I'd closed myself up in a closet.
"Hey, where'd you go?" I held my breath and covered my mouth with my hand, trying my best to hold in a snicker at the confusion in his voice, "I'm gonna find you!"
It grew very silent at that point, so silent…after a few minutes of just standing there in the dark I figured he'd gone to look somewhere else and hesitantly grasped the doorknob.
Just as I went to open it the door flew open, causing me to jump back in shock as my eyes met with a smirking Pewdie, "Hehe, found you…you know, the closet probably wasn't the best place to pick."
"Shut up!" I blushed as I took a step towards him and laughed embarrassedly, "I-I don't know your house, this is the first door I came to!"
Before I could even register what was happening he wrapped one of his arms around my waist, pulling me close as he smirked mischievously, "So…what's my prize for finding you?"
My face went completely red, and it wasn't until then that I realized my mask was still up a bit. Oh god he was so close…I could feel his breath on my lips. "U-uhm…P-Pewds…?"
"Is everything okay? You seem a bit…flustered." I could feel my breath catch in my throat as a shiver went up my spine, subconsciously reaching my hand up to clutch onto his sleeve as I gulped.
Oh god what was happening…? Why was he acting like this? Why did he cause my body to react so intensely? Why was I starting to shake?
Hundreds of thoughts began flowing through my mind as I stood there, trapped by him.
"Ryan…" I couldn't help the soft, moan-like noise that escaped my lips as he whispered my real name, my body jolting a bit.
I could feel him stiffen at this and move back a bit like he hadn't expected it, but I didn't dare open my eyes to look at him. I may still have had my mask on, but I knew that if my eyes met his I'd become a mess…well, more so than I already was.
The awkward silence that filled the room was almost unbearable, yet he didn't move. I could feel his eyes on me, watching me, studying me, and it just made my face heat up even more.
After what felt like an eternity he finally broke the silence, clearing his throat, "Ryan, I-…"
"I-I'm sorry, I-I just…you were just so close, a-and I…" I finally opened my eyes, trying to find a way to explain myself when I noticed something I didn't expect; his expression was soft and caring, a very sweet smile on his face as he looked at me. "P-Pewds, I-…"
"Don't worry about it, Ryan…" He started, leaning back and moving his hand from around my waist to rest on my hip, causing me to blush more, "I'm sorry I just…couldn't help myself."
He stayed like that for a moment before turning to walk out of the closet.
"Oh and Ryan," He looked over his shoulder and flashed a bright, happy smile, his next words leaving me standing there in a daze, "Call me Felix."
