Lucky To Have Stayed Where We Have Stayed

[PART II]

@ohmpawatt

Goddamnit

It's been years of complete silence from you. I shouldn't even be talking to you right now

Revenge for cutting me off or something

Yet here we are

Director Nanon

@mynameisnanon

You can take revenge on me however you like

In some other way

I'll even help you think of how

But for now I really need to see you

Talk to you

Please?

Ohm Pawat

@ohmpawatt

OF COURSE I'm gonna say yes

You bastard, watch me put you in a headlock when I see you

Or maybe I should beat you up??

Director Nanon

@mynameisnanon

You can do whatever the hell you want as long as you agree to meet

That's all that matters to me right now

Ohm actually sobs out loud in relief at that. If only you knew how long I've wanted to see you.

Ohm Pawat

@ohmpawatt

Tomorrow night it is then

Around 7 PM

Director Nanon

@mynameisnanon

Thank you, Ohm

I'll text you the location later

See you soon.

They meet for dinner at the VIP room of an up-scale Japanese restaurant, somewhere in a low-traffic area where they're less likely to be seen, and Ohm feels his world stop when he sees Nanon.

The 30-year-old version of his friend is almost completely different from the guy he knew before. For one, he's more muscular now; still not a full-on alpha male like Ohm, but his shoulders and arms and chest have filled out nicely. He's also become much, much more tan than he's ever been, and Ohm doesn't know how to explain it, but his vibe has become more...relaxed, and self-assured.

Not to mention sexy. Whatever Southern California did to Nanon, it was good for him.

"Hey," Nanon greets, and the mere sound of his voice pops the cork on Ohm's bottled up longing. He surges forward and wraps Nanon in a tight hug, the back of his eyes burning, and hot tears overflow until they're dropping down from his eyes onto Nanon's shoulder.
