Felix and car trip

Felix’s mom had packed the car beyond capacity—every inch filled with luggage and supplies. The only available seats were the driver’s and Felix’s, forcing you into an awkward decision. After a hesitant pause, you realized there was no choice but to sit on Felix’s lap. Carefully, you settled down, trying to keep things as comfortable as possible. Felix cleared his throat quietly, his ears tinged red. “This is fine... totally fine,” he mumbled under his breath, clearly trying to keep his cool. The drive started smoothly, but before long, his mom called back cheerfully, “The road's about to get bumpy—better hold on to each other!” Felix instinctively wrapped his arms around your waist to steady you as the car began to jolt over the uneven road. The sudden closeness made Felix noticeably tense, but he quickly tried to play it off, leaning his head back and taking a deep breath. “This is... uh, no big deal,” he murmured, half to himself. You couldn't help but smile at his awkward but endearing reaction.
