P'Arthit released KongPob from his grasp as fast as possible when he heard the door opened and tried to seems nonchalant while he liked wherever away from KongPob's face. KongPob was a bit donewd by the fact that their precioud moment had been broken but he readjusted himself accordingly.
San stood at the door not sure of what he had seen. He was hyped getting back to the shop aware that KongPob would be alone and had planned that they would celebrate in the honor of his new born neice but all that change when he saw KongPob hugging someone else in the shop and though it seemed as though they didn't want to acknowledge it, he had seen them for sure.
A lingering silence ensued as the trio looked back and forth between each other until KongPob broke the silence.
“How did it go P'San?”
That immediately caught San's attention. “Whaaa KongPob... I am now an uncle to a beautiful baby girl. I'm soo happy!!” San well rightfully boasted as he leaned against the counter completely ignoring P'Arthit. “Ohhh, congratulations then. It must be wonderful to have a new baby in the family.” KongPob congratulated as he eyed P'Arthit who stood a bit further back.
“Yes, it is. I'm going to pour myself a glass of wine in celebration. I was about to invite you but I can see you are a bit preoccupied.” San said as he now looked at P'Arthit who eyed him back. 'who was thus person and why did he want to invite KongPob for a drink' P'Arthit wondered as he adjusted his bag.
Noticing his questioning gaze, KongPob took it upon himself to clear the air.
“P'San this is P'Arthit, my friend and P'Arthit krap this is P'San, his brother owns the place.” KongPob said.
“Ohhhh, Sawadee krap. I'm Arthit Perawat krap.” P'Arthit greeted politely.
“Sawadee krap. I'm San Anderson.”
The two eyed each other both unsure about how to feel about each other. P'Arthit wasn't necessarily friendly towards him but he also didn't particularly like him.
“Then, since you are back.. I think I will take my leave. I'll have to reschedule your offer on the wine though, right now P'Arthit and I have to go home.”
“Ohhh, you know where he lives?” San asked P'Arthit getting very interested in their friendship all of a sudden.
“Yes, I do. KongPob and I are very close friends so it would be obvious that we know where each other lives,” P'Arthit said a sudden jealousy streak taking over him. He didn't like San at all from the get go and his questions were starting to irk him.
“Let me take my things then we can go home P'Arthit,” KongPob said as he ran to the back and left the two strangers alone.
“So, how for long have you known KongPob to the point of you being close friends,” San asked standing tall over towering Arthit a bit but that didn't sway Arthit.
“He's a direct junior of mine at University so it was inevitable for us to get close.” Arthit replied as he crossed his arms over each other.
“Ohhhh, so you are also an engineering student?”
“Yes I am and I'm about to graduate the soon.” P'Arthit boasted his prideful nature coming up out of nowhere. He hadn't been head hazer for nothing and Arthit knew how to hold himself against people like San.
San hummed in acknowledgement rightfully getting the message Arthit was sending. It was an underlying battle of showing that each was qualified to be KongPob's friend.“I am ready to go now P'Arthit.” KongPob said as he emerged effectively cutting off the tense air. P'Arthit nodded before walking out the door and left KongPob with San. San only spared Arthit a side glance before turning back to the lerosn he had hoped to spend the night with.
“I will leave then P'San, have a good night.”
“Wait KongPob, I know what happened today was unexpected and I'm glad that you were here to help. To repay you why don't you take tomorrow off as a reward?”
“It was nothing P'San. I don't need any kind of reward.” KongPob replied in modesty.
“No, no KongPob. Please accept this. If you don't I'll be very unhappy..” San pleaded as he held KongPob by the shoulder.
KongPob wanted to refuse but P'Arthit's shrill call for him outside men at that he was getting impatient and KongPob had no choice but accept so that he and P'Arthit would leave already. He then said his goodbye and went out to find P'Arthit.
“Let's go home now P'Arthit.” he said smiling and P'Arthit drapes his hand over KongPob's shoulders. “Let's go.”
KongPob rested on the bed as he waited for P'Arthit to finish his shower. They had bought food on the way and eaten before commencing to prepare for bed. “Eii Kong, pass me my towel over there. I forgot it.” P'Arthit shouted as KongPob took the red towel to the door. “Here you are P'Arthit.” A pale hand trusted out of the door and reached out for the fabric. “Thank you.”
KongPob resumed his small reading till P'Arthit emerged from the shower.
“Eyy KongPob , I was just wondering how close are you with that San guy. I find it strange that he would invite you for a drink especially since you are an employee...” P'Arthit asked as he took a seat next to him and relaxed on his hands.
“P'San and I just acquaintances P'Arthit and he just wanted to celebrate his niece's birth. It's him who actually got me the job and naturally we would just be well versed with each other. There's nothing more to it.... Why are you jealous?” KongPob joked as he faced P'Arthit trying to make him a bit vexed.
“Hmmmph, me jealous! You must me dreaming. What do I have to be jealous about?No way! I'm not jealous. I was just curious that's all. So now you don't have to go to work tomorrow right?” P'Arthit commented effectively changing the topic. It left a bad taste in his mouth.
“Krap. I'm free the whole since I took care of the cafe the whole night alone.”
“That's good, now I can have you all to myself then. Thank God it's the weekend.” P'Arthit said as he tucked himself into bed. KongPob followed suit and they settled into each other.
“You always have me P'Arthit,” KongPob said as he pulled P'Arthit closer to himself.
“I know and you always have me KongPob. Now let's go to sleep and then tomorrow we can have our time together oK?” he uttered as he held KongPob close and shut his eyes.
“P'Arthit krap,” KongPob began after a few minutes bring P'Arthit back to consciousness.
“Mmhhh..”
“Can I stay with you while I work?Your condo is much closer to the cafe than my house and I want to spend as much time with you as possible. Not being close to you makes me restless honestly.” he admitted more to himself than P'Arthit.
"Oii KongPob... You can't be serious. You know you can't stay with me 6 days a week and only go home once a week. What will you tell your parents if they asked where you are spending all your time?” P'Arthit asked joining the conversation.
“Well I can always tell them that I'm staying with my boyfriend...” KongPob wasn't even able to finish his statement before P'Arthit slapped his arm.
“KONGPOB!!! DON'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT!” P'Arthit reprimanded afraid that KongPob would actually do something like that. He was affectionate towards KongPob but he wasn't ready for his parents to jnwo about their relationship. No, it was way to early and too fast for P'Arthit.
KongPob laughed in silence as he apologised for his jest. He knew P'Arthit wasn't ready for such steps and he was fine with it. He was in no rush.
“I just want to be next to you and take care of you P'Arthit that's all. Let me stay with you please. I'll tell my parents I'm staying with a friend if that's what's worrying you. Please P'Arthit, ” KongPob pleaded as he put on his puppy face.
“NO! You have to be filial to you parents and stay with them. I'll will allow you stay with me for 3 days but the rest of them you stay at home. I'm not a greedy person. Is that ok with you?” P'Arthit proposed as he stared at KongPob.
It wasn't what he wanted but KongPob was ok with that offer.“OK. Now that's out of the way, let's go to sleep now KongPob. I'm very tired.” KongPob nodded in affirmation and proceeded to switch off the lights.
The room plunged into darkness and slight cold breeze blew in making the two shift towards ecah other in search of heat. It was during that moment that KongPob felt P'Arthit shift dangerously close to him and a new kind of heat ignited in KongPob. He wanted to control himself but P'Arthit nearness was suddenly making him woozy and abit uncomfortable. He held it in for a good ten minutes until he could no longer take it anymore.
“P'Arthit krap.... P'Arthit krap..” he called out as he slightly shaked the sleeping figure. P'Arthit only stirred slightly before resuming to sleep. It was only after a harder push that P'Arthit woke up, a little bit annoyed at KongPob for breaking his sleep cycle. He knwe how much he loved sleep. “What is it now KongPob?” He whispered groggily as the last of his sleep disappeared. Nothing could prepare him for the answer he got.
“I'm feeling needy P'Arthit krap.”
P'Arthit's eyes widened as he moved away from KongPob in a reflex action, earlier traces of sleep completely going out of the door.
“KONGPOB!! WHAT.... WH... WH... WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?” P'Arthit asked his body almost at the edge of the bed and he stared at KongPob in shock. His mind was now racing and he didn't know what to reply. If KongPob had been a girl, he wouldn't be soo lost but him being a boy did it mean KongPob wanted to.....
KongPob realised how his words had come out wrong and attempted to rectify himself. As much as he wanted to be with P'Arthit, he wasn't ready to take THAT step into their young relationship.
“Not in that sense, P'Arthit... What I meant was that I.... I want to kiss you P'Arthit krap.”
P'Arthit's body visibly relaxed as his worries flew out the door. 'Ohhh he just wanted a kiss... Wait a kisss!”
“KongPob! Why do you need a kiss in the middle of the Night? Didn't I give a kiss a few days ago... Do you really need one now?” P'Arthit asked now also concerned about what type of kiss KongPob needed now.
“Ahwuuu P'Arthit... That was almost a month ago and it was a tiny one. I'm just asking for a small kiss on the lips.... Pleaseeee naaaaaa, naaa. I promise I'll go to sleep then.” KongPob requested whole heartedly as he drew closer to P'Arthit.
“NO WAY! KongPob! You are getting too spoilt now. Stop coming closer to me and go back to sleep.Now!”P'Arthit warned yet his body leaned forward unbest to his own actions.
“Please P'Arthit. Just a small peck then I'll leave you alone. Are you going to refuse your darling boyfriend this simple request and let me go to sleep feeling rejected? Aren't we dating at all?” KongPob asked guilt tripping P'Arthit incase he refused him.
“OK! OK! One short, quick kiss then you keep quite and sleep. OK? Hoiii... You are soo crafty..”
KongPob stood still as P'Arthit hurriedly placed a peck as fast as lightning but as he tried to move away, KongPob held fast onto P'Arthit and prevented him from moving. P'Arthit tried to fight him off but he resolve was melted and he gave in easily as though he had no self control when it came to KongPob. Their first kiss had been very short and KongPob needed something to help him cope for the night. He wanted to sate his sudden hunger and brand P'Arthit's taste on his tongue. He parted P'Arthit's lips and invaded his mouth filling it with his own. P'Arthit hummed at the action and reciprocated the action. The two went on to kissing each other for the next few minutes, each trying to get the fill of the other. The kiss ended when KongPob slightly bit into P'Arthit's lower lip before running his tongue across it and suckes him off.
Both were left breathless by the action and P'Arthit felt a bit delirious after it. It was only when his senses came back that he realised he basically made out with KongPob and a shyness came over him.
He quickly grabbed the blankets and covered himself hiding from his partners and turned to face the other direction. KongPob only smiled as he licked his lips and spooned P'Arthit from he back. P'Arthit continued staying hidden and KongPob just chuckles before settling down and assuredly fell asleep as promised.
