Continuation

"You can live with me."

Fluke found himself seated in the fanciest couch he had ever sat on. With a cup of hot chocolate in his hands.

His eyes red and he's still sniffling. The owner of the penthouse seated across of him with a cup of hot drink for himself. Most probably not hot chocolate.

"My offer still stand, you can stay here with me." The older male said looking at the sniffling boy who was sipping on his hot chocolate rather cutely.

Everything about this boy is cute, it's killing Ohm.

"B—But, we don't know each other. Why would you offer to let me live here? Are you sure I'm a nice person? What if I'm actually a serial killer? Do you always offer people to live with you? Are you a serial killer? Oh my god are you going to kill me? Are you going to sell my organs??"

Ohm laughed.

"I'm not a killer little boy—"

"I'm not a little boy! I'm 20 years old!"

"Like I said, little boy." Fluke pouted. "You can live here, until you find a place for yourself."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"What do you want to help me?"

Ohm put down the mug, straightening his body on the chair. "I'm a human, I see someone in need of help and I extend my hand for help. I'm capable of helping, so, why not?"

Again, he would never do such thing to someone he didn't know. Moreover someone who he has never met. A total stranger.

However Fluke seemed to accept his reason. How innocent.

"But! I won't be able to pay for rent yet. I just got laid off of work so—"

"You don't need to pay for rent."

"What?! But I can't!"

"Of course you can, it's my house."

"But!"

Seeing as how the younger boy won't say no, Ohm had to think of another solution. "Alright, how about, instead of paying for rent, you can pay with something else instead?"

The younger boy widen his eyes, arms wrapping around himself. "I AM NOT THAT KIND OF PERSON!"

Ohm widen his eyes. "Hoi! That's not what I meant!"

"Then what??"

"You can be my maid instead."

"Maid??"

Ohm nodded.

"You can cook right?" The younger nodded. "You can do house chores?" Another nod. "It's settled then. You can help me take care of my house and do the chores. In return, you can stay in this house for as long as you want. There's 2 spare bedroom, choose whichever you want."

He said pointing to two door across from each other.

"My name's Ohm Thitiwat Ritprasert. 27 years old."

"I—I'm Fluke Natouch Siripongthon. 20 years old." He replied.

With that, the tall male stood up. "It's getting late, I'm going to bed. Make yourself at home." And he left to one of the rooms.

Fluke gaped. "He's really leaving me alone. Wow." He put down the mug and let go of his backpack before walking around on his tip toes.

"This is amazing~" He shouted in a whisper.

He spends he next 20 minutes just watching the view of Bangkok from the big glass window before taking both their mugs and washing it.

Double checking which door Ohm went into before opening on door which the older male pointed at.

It was a spacious room, with one king size bed, and a vanity. He can see a door that may leads to its own private toilet. And a large wardrobe that's build within the walls.

"This room is bigger than my previous apartment!"

Next he opened the door to the other bedroom, and was again met with an almost similar size room to the previous one. The design was also similar.

He went back to the couch and took his bags, dragging them to the first bedroom.

"I don't know what I did in my past life but thank you! I just met an angel!"

The next day Fluke woke up with a start. The sun shining brightly through the glass window indicating that it's near noon.

He tossed around, shaking away the sleepiness.

His mind still a bit groggy. Stepping out of the room, he went to the kitchen to grab himself a glass of water when he saw a note on the kitchen counter.

'I'm at work. Be back by 5. You were still sleeping when I left. Cook whatever you want, there's stuff in the fridge. —Ohm'

The student smile and opened the fridge.

"Damn there's everything here! This is like the cold section of a grocery store! Oh my God!"

The rest of the day was spent with him cleaning, or trying to since the penthouse is spotless, and cooking.

He hesitated to enter the older male's room but decided against it, because, privacy.

In the end, all he did was sat on the couch and watch some tv. When the thought of googling his current tenant cross his mind.

He reached four for his phone on the coffee table and opened up his browser before typing in the male's name.

Second later, results came out. More than he thought he'll get.

"What the heck? He's a CEO? I thought he's 27 years old!" He exclaimed, surprised. He wasn't expecting him to be one since he's still young.
He was about to search more when he heard the door open.

Ohm came in and Fluke tried his best not to ogle at the sight.

The taller is wearing a black suit with his tie undone. His hair a in a proper style than when he saw him last night.

He must've been enjoying his time he didn't even realise it's already 5.

"Y—You're back!"

Ohm looked at the smaller boy. "Ah, yeah."

"Is there anything you would like to eat? I can cook them for dinner."

Wow, Ohm haven't heard him being asked that questions since he was a little child.

He usually cooks for himself, or if he's lazy he'll just order out.

"I'm good with anything, thank you." Fluke smile and made his way to the kitchen. Taking ingredients out of the fridge.

When suddenly he stops and took a glass and filled it with water and walking towards the CEO.

"Here, you must be tired. Do you want something to drink? I can make you one."

Ohm took the glass of water and gulped them down. "Could you make me a coffee?" Fluke nodded.

"Okay, then I'll just change and I'll be in my office. You can just leave the coffee here the I'll take them later."

"No, it's okay. I can take them to you."

"Are you sure?" Another nod with a smile. "Alright then, thank you." Passing the now empty glass to the smaller, he made his way to his room.

Coming back from work, he totally forgot that he's living with another person right now.

Work was hectic that he completely forgot about Fluke.

'What the fuck am I going to say to Pan if  she comes?'
