Henry thought he had it all. He was the leader of the nefarious criminal organization known as the Toppat Clan. Reginald, his right hand man, he thought he could trust him.
It turns out that Reginald and the rest of the clan had secretly been planning to overthrow him. He remembers that day on the plank.
He faced Reginald, face full of fear.
Reginald pushed him off the plank. As Henry fell, the last thing he saw was his right hand man watching him fall.
"Sorry Henry, the deed has been done" He could hear Reginald say. Reginald turned back to enter the airship, All while Henry fell.
"Hey… Are you okay?"
Henry could a voice fading in. He's alive?!
Henry opens his eyes to see a blurry figure and the sun.
"That was a pretty hard fall," The figure said.
Henry's vision clears up and he sees a man in a suit. Henry gets up and sees that he landed in a trash can, luckily filled with trash bags.
Henry sees the suit man again and notices his spiky black hair.
"Felix?" Henry said. The man noticed the tall stick figure.
"Henry?" Felix said. It had been a while since they two saw each other. Henry remembers Felix when he defended him in court and was able to help him get out of prison. Even though the story Felix told on Court was a lie.
"What are you doing in the trash can? And what's with the outfit? Did you get wasted at a costume party or something?" Felix asked. Henry remembered it all.
"No…That's not it…" Henry said. Felix could see that he was crying.
"I thought I could trust him." Henry said. "I had everything. He surrendered the airship to me. Only to turn around and go against me.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Felix said. Henry looked at him.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it" Henry said. Felix helped Henry up. Henry could hardly stand up. Felix caught him before he could fall.
"Are you okay?" Felix said. Henry didn't respond, tears were streaming down his face at this point. He wants Felix to let him go. He wants to lay back in the trash until he withers away. But he can't. He couldn't,
"Hey, it's okay…'" Felix said. "Do you have anywhere to stay?"
Henry shakes his head.
"I can take you back to my place," Felix said. "Just so that you have somewhere to stay tonight"
Henry nods.
That night, Felix set up the couch for Henry to sleep on and he made dinner. Henry didn't know that Chicken tastes great if it's seasoned perfectly. He wants to ask Felix how he learned to cook so well but his mouth is full of chicken rice and eggs.
Henry helped Felix clean the dishes. Felix said he doesn't need help but Henry insisted, he wanted to thank Felix for the meal.
Then it was bedtime and Felix gave Henry his blankets and stuff.
"I think that's everything," Felix said. "My bedroom is across the Hall so if you need anything, just ask"
Felix turns to leave until he suddenly feels someone grabbing his sleeve. He turns to see it's Henry.
"Can you… stay here for a moment?" Henry said. Felix didn't give it a second thought and sat on the couch with Henry. Henry pulled him into a hug.
"Thank you…" Henry said.
"For what? All I did was take you home and fed you a family recipe" Felix jokes.
"For that exactly'' Henry said. "I don't need those Toppats, I don't need Reginald, and I don't need to be a leader. All I need is……"
Henry faces Felix, a visible blush appears.
"You…" Henry softly said.
"Huh?" Felix said. He was cut off by Henry pressing his lips against his. This was unexpected. But Felix wasn't complaining. He kissed Henry back. When the two parted, Henry was all red.
"I'm sorry…" Henry said.
"Aw shucks Henry, you really think that about me?" Felix said. "I am very flattered.." He lets out a yawn.
"You should probably go to bed Felix," Henry said.
"But I wanna stay with you," Felix said. "I don't wanna leave your side…"
Felix began to fall over. Henry caught him before he could hit the ground and held him closer to him.
"You can stay with me here. I don't mind" Henry said. Felix nodded. Henry laid down and put Felix on top of him then put a blanket around the two of them. Felix looks up.
"What happens if your clan finds you?" Felix said.
"Who needs them when I've got you. We could make our own clan. And you'll be my right hand man" Henry said.
"Well, I'd rather stay being a lawyer" Felix said. They both chuckled.
"I love you Henry," Felix said.
"Love you too"
They kissed again before falling asleep. Henry was holding onto Felix tighter than anything he held on to. He loved Felix so much. He was kind, generous and adorable. And man, he made the former leader of the Toppat Clan fall for him.
