Felix didn’t quite know what to say. Honestly, people usually asked him to leave, not asked him to stay or indeed, to move in! Felix was suddenly hit by a tonne of emotions he’d not really thought about before, most of them pertaining to Lyra. He still loved her, but as the months had worn on and his heart had begun to heal, a lot due to his relationship with Lanithro, which was far more loving than he thought he deserved, he’d begun to think that perhaps he wasn’t in love with Lyra anymore. He still wanted her to be a part of his life, if only he knew where she was and he was constantly concerned both for her welfare and that of the children that could still be his. He wanted to look for her, to know she was safe, but he knew Ezra was looking and that he was far better equipped to find her than he ever would be, though his recent associations did change that some what, he was new, he couldn’t just ask them to help him find her, so he’d made the decision to leave that to the experts. And yet, through all this, most of his time with Lanithro was spent not thinking about Lyra in terms he once would have. She was still a sore point for him, and neither he nor Lanithro spoke about her when they didn’t have to, but it was a wound that he knew was healing and he knew a lot of that he had to thank Lanithro for. There had been a point early on in their relationship that Felix had entertained the thought it was simply a rebound, but they got along too well for that, they were together too often, there was too much affection in it. They were almost always constantly touching each other and the shyness from the first couple of days had disappeared months ago. Lanithro was the person Felix wanted to tell everything to and though he knew that Lanithro didn’t tell him everything about his family, Felix didn’t mind it, there was probably some he wouldn’t have wanted to hear anyway. He’d been surprised by the thought of moving in with Lanithro, but he was more surprised to find that he hadn’t said no outright. He’d never lived with someone like that before. He’d had roommates of course and he’d spent a couple of months on James’ couch after they’d graduated, but living with someone he was in a relationship was all so... adult. It was a big step and Felix wasn’t sure what to say. Fayre seemed like she wasn’t paying attention to what was happening, so Felix took the advantage to scoot back out of his chair and walk over to Lanithro. He was about to do something he’d never done with Lanithro before and it scared him a little bit, becuase it was only one more in a growing list of indicators that his heart was opening up to the blonde more and more, and pushing Lyra out just a little bit more. Felix dropped onto his knees at Lanithro’s feet and placed his hands on the former Gryffindors thighs. “Lan, I can’t believe I’m saying this,” he said, his face slowly breaking out into a smile, “but, yes”.
