"P' are you alright?"
"Huh?"
"Are you okay? You seem stressed about something."
"it's nothing. I'm okay."
"You know you can share anything with me, right?
"It's ok-"
"We are boyfriends,right?" He said with a shy smile.
"um- yes..we are.It's just that I had a terrible day. I woke up late. And I missed the first lecture. Today was the submission date of a project and I forgot it at the dorm. Then it was announced that the exams are preponed."he cried out tiredly.
"Everything will be okay,P'."
"I don't know kongpob. I rea-" he felt a warm pair of hands surrounding his body.
That took Arthit by surprise. They had kissed before, obviously. But a hug was always somehow more special for him. It was more affectionate. Being the elder one (and being Arthit) he didn't want to act like a spoilt kid in front of his junior
"Everything will be fine,P'. It's okay. I'm here."
But somehow hearing these words made him calm. He felt safe and loved. He felt warm. And he loved that feeling. He snuggled deeper into the embrace. The latter smelt so good and comforting. Suddenly he wanted nothing more than to be spoiled by his junior, who now, was his boyfriend.
"Kong, umm...do you maybe wanna hangout later today at my place?"
Kong just stared at him, wide-eyed.
"Umm..I understand if you are busy. We can do that someother day, it's-"
"NO. I mean I want to hang out with you. It's just that this is the first time I'm coming to your dorm."
Arthit's ears turned red. "What are you talking about? You already came to my dorm twice. Once when I was sick and later when the pipe broke."
"No. I came there as your junior. But it's my first time going there as your boyfriend."
Arthit blushed. He was still not accustomed with the 'boyfriend' term. He turned into a blushing mess everytime it was mentioned in front of him. Mostly by his 'boyfriend'.
"Why are you so excited anyway. We are just going to my dorm. You have already seen it"
"What's not to be excited,P'? It's your room! Your own sanctuary!Also about that, you didn't let me touch your collections that day, but I'm sure you won't deny your boyfriend,am I right, P'?"
"Hmm" he knew the latter was doing that purposely.
"Btw can I use your phone,P'? My phone's dead and I have to inform aim that I'll not be able to hangout with the guys."
"Kongpob! Why didn't you tell me before? If you already had plans with your friends, you should-"
"But my boyfriend's more important. So, the phone please?"
"Hmm, here."
Arthit was so flustered that he totally forgot something. His eyes went wide when the realisation dawned upon him.
"NO, KONGPOB! DON'T UNLOCK IT!"he tried to snatch away his phone, but the junior just held it high.
"No,let me see."
"NO! KONG!"
"Now I really want to see what's in there."
"0062! GIVE IT BACK!"
"That's not gonna work,P'!"
Knowing that he couldn't do anything now,Arthit just pouted and speed-walking towards the dorm.
After a minute or two, he felt someone huffing beside him. He knew who he was and didn't dare looking at him.
"P'?"
"...."
"P', here's your phone."
Why is he acting as if he didn't just see that?
"You have to let me see those figurines this time."
Huh? Seems like he didn't see it afterall. But how's that possible?
"Also, you should recommend some mangas to me."
He didn't see it. I have never been so relieved in my entire life. I'm gonna change it as soon as-
"Btw your wallpaper is awesome. I didn't know you missed me so much. Considering that we see each other almost everyday. But ofcourse,I'm not complaining...."
SOMEONE KILL ME ALREADY!
"What's wrong, P'?"
"The bicycle's tyre is punctured. How will I go home?"
"Oh! I can give you a ride..if you are okay with it."
"Huh?! But- I don't want to trouble you."
"You are not troubling me P'. Tbh I'll be more worried if you can't get a ride back home. Just leave it here. We'll give it for repair tomorrow."
"Hmm...okay."
Arthit sat behind him on the bike.
"You can hold me,P'."
"Kong! Just drive the bike!"
Kong suddenly felt a pair of hands on his belly.
"Why are you driving so harshly?"
"Umm..P' the breaks are not working properly. I'll send it for repair tomorrow. Please hold on to me or you'll fall." Kong said with a serious face while smirking internally.
Ofcourse arthit could clearly see through the younger's lies but he just played along with it. It would not hurt to act dumb sometimes,would it?
"No, you clearly lost the game."
"What? No, I didn't. It's a tie!"
"P'! Just accept it already! You lost!"
"But. Okay,,,fine!! I lost. But Let's not play this game. Let's do something else. I'm bored."
"Nu-uh! Not so easily. You have to fulfill the bet!"
"What? No! I thought that was just a joke! I'm not doing that."
"That's not fair,P'. You have to! You can't back off now!"
"But that's so embarrassing!"
"So? You should have thought that before making the bet. And besides, I'll do it too,if you feel awkward."
"NO!"
"No? So you don't want me to say that? Okay then."
"I..I- ugh! Okay,fine!"
The next day
"P'Arthit, please accept these." A first year handed him some gifts.
"I can't accept these,nong. Sorry."
"But I like you,P'. Why can't you accept them?"
"Umm..it's because..umm.."
"Because what Ai'Arthit? Tell her."
"Yes,why can't you accept them. Look,that pretty face is sad because of you. It's valentine's day, after all!"
"Say it, Ai'Arthit!"
Arthit glared at his friends. Can someone remind him why they were his friends
Even Knott was barely suppressing his laughter. "Arthit, Kong's coming this way."
Arthit glanced at kongpob and sighed. He can just do it and then not come to the university ever again! He'll just transfer to some other university, far away. Yes..that seems like a nice idea.
"I-It is because I have a boyfriend and he's very handsome,dashing and sweet (Arthit mentally pukes at that, he has no choice but to continue) He's the best boyfriend in the whole world.And I..love him so much."
Arthit just wanted to dig a hole then and there. Stupid him for agreeing to such a bet!
All his friends started teasing him and he literally ran away to the library with a red face.
I'm not talking to him. Ever!
"Hahahahahaha"
"What's so funny?"
"This video. It's so funny."
"Really? Show me."
"Here. See isn't it funny? I mean-"
"Here's your order. Enjoy!"
"Thank you."
"Oh?! Excuse me. But we ordered a plain omlet. This is spicy."
"Is it? We're so sorry. But that was the last egg we had. We cannot-"
"What? How could you mess up an order. He can't eat spicy. He'll get sick!"
"It's okay, P'Arthit. I'll manage."
"But-"
"It's fine. And you don't need to apologise P', it happens."
The woman bowed her head again to apologise once more and went back.
"How will you be able to eat that,kong?"
"I can manage. Besides,did you forget that you yourself made me eat spicy food more than once?"
"I'm sorry for doing that back then."
"No, P'. I was the rebellious one. You didn't do anything wrong."
"Hmm...okay."
"Wait...that's my plate, P'. Why are you taking that?"
"Wait, I'm gonna give it back." Saying, arthit proceeded to remove the chillis and red pepper from the food.
Kongpob was touched. The saying,'Action speaks louder than words' is indeed true. Although Arthit didn't say it that often,but he deeply cared for him.

Kongpob flushed red hearing 'marriage'. Will they also get married like that old couple there? He blushed so hard thinking about that life he had always dreamt of with his P' by his side.
"Kongpob,are you sick? You don't look so well"
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing P'. Just hot."
Arthit looked at him weirdly but didn't question him any further. He was busy fussing over the chillis and cursing that lady!
And it was at this moment when Kongpob realised that he needed this guy,who was currently glaring at the chillis,beside him,forever.
