Chapter Text
Chan glanced down at his watch, 11:30, Jeongin and seungmin should have made it to the new apartment by now. They were taking the south east route, or rather the shortest one. Chan had assigned them the shortest route because he knew how Seungmin felt about long journeys by car. Travelling by motorcycle definately helped with the issue but he still felt more nauseous the longer the journey. Due to this Seungmin was one of the few people allowed onto Jeongin's motorcycle. That thing was like his baby, A Red Kawaski Ninja 400, ' a magnificent beauty' he would often boast.
For safety reasons Straykids travelled in small groups taking different routes to make it harder to tail them. Jeongin and seungmin set off on Jeongin's motorcycle. Lee know went with Felix and Han in Hyunjin's Vintage Ford Mustang - who like Jeongin was obssesed with his vehicle. That left Chan driving hisBlack wolf electric Pick up truck with Changbin in the passenger seat. They were due to arrive at sundown at their new living space with The mustang gang arriving in around 2 hours. Their stuff was mostly all piled into Chan's truck with some small items stored in Hyunjin's car.
"Hey chan" Changbin said, waving to Chan from the small gas station they had stopped at "Look what I found"
He threw a bag of Snacks at chan
"Pretty cool right - 5 for 10 quid"
" hurry up and get in the car 'bin- we've still got plenty of driving left to do and waiting around isn't gonna help"
"Right right responsibility and sheduling. Got it chan"
Chan managed to wrangle Changbin back into the car with minimum energy as possible before setting off along the long desert-like highway.
-Time skip-
As they arrived at the apartment complex the sun was already begining to set, its's dying rays casting a watercolour scene across the sky. Chan drove truck into the parking under the white modern building. They grabbed the first of the boxes and began to make their way up to their new appartment. They had bought the Top floor giving them all the space they needed to live and work comfortably . Chan unlocked the door with the few fingers he had free, walking into the apartment he wasn't really expecting anything other than his team having a snack or them staring to set up the things they had from hyunjin's car. He was not however expecting to walk into a full on game of Tag.
"You motherfucker" seungmin screamed at I.N who had tagged him then jumped up into the chandelier where he was now, precariously hanging off one side."How the fuck am I supposed to reach you up there"
"That was the point idiot, You can't reach me up here. " I.N remarked proceding to give him the bird and then began quite loudly singing Chandelier by Sia
"Right" said Chan " That enough of that- we have a house to move into and all our stuff is still in the car"
Using his fatherly voice and atitude Chan managed to get them to start helping move in. Hearing his tone the rest of the boys began to come out of their spots, Hyunjin came out of the bathroom, felix out from behind the curtains and on the windowsill.
"Wait- 123456 - Where's Han and Minho?"
"Probably off being all couply " Hyunjin uttered "A pair of romantics they are"
"Come on" Felix said, playfully punching his boyfriends arm "It's cute "
"I guess it kinda is cute" Hyunjin grudgingly admitted to his boyfriend after seeing his pouty face
Chan had to go find them and convince them to help with the moving in efforts. He managed to concince them all to help bring everything up into the apartment from the truck. It took several hours for them to bring everything in, though some did less than others ( namely seungmin who's excuse was ' HAVE YOU SEEN ME i can barely lift a chair') . Once everything was done Chan stood at the door and looked around at the apartment, their new home for the next few months or so.
"home sweet home I guess " Felix said surveying the space from beside Chan "Now come on" he said pulling Chan by his arm to the master bedroom where the rest of Straykids were waiting.
As soon as Chan and Felix walked into the room they were dogpiled by everyone and dragged to the bed. Everytime they moved into a new place they would always spend the first night together in a big soft heap of bodies. It was the only place they could truly feel safe, with each other, together.
As Chan lay there surrounded by his boys, felix's head on his shoulder, Jeongin's head on his chest and Minho's legs tangled in his and the others all around him,he thought
This, This is my home. My home sweet home
