Love Me - Sarawat x Tine

Chapter 1- The Shatter

"Do you even love me?..." he said under his breath but loud enough to hear. All said whilst giving the most piercing glare he has ever given in his life. To the person he once thought was the love of his life. Sarawat. 

Just for Sarawat to sit at that coffee table just staring blankly right back at Tine. Was it the question itself? or just him being a choked up and leaving him in silence?  Who knows but the silence went on for a whole minute before Tine got the hint.

"... I'll take the silence as a no. We're over'' said Tine as he instantly stood up and picked up his books. Just for Sarawat to briskly get up and grab his wrist. "No... please'' he pleaded, looking desperately for a glimpse of any sign. A sign that could maybe tell him if it's an act or maybe just a crazy out of nowhere instance. He scanned Tine's face, and just to see nothing.

A blank stare, the type where you honestly can't tell what in the hell they are even remotely thinking about, type of stare. That's when Sarawat started to panic. He was losing Tine. He never thought he'd ever actually lose Tine. Yet there he was standing watching it happen. 

Tine jerked his wrist out of Sarawat's hands. "I'm leaving ... bye". Tine took his books and rushed to walk away, but he soon stopped and turned to Sarawat. Crying ... scratch that Tine was balling his eyes out. Eyes completely flooded with tears, and the tears streamed down his face non-stop. He manages to utter three words out and only just three. " I loved you". As soon as those three words were said, Tine ran out of the coffee shop. Leaving a confused, shattered, and mess of Sarawat just standing there. Attempting to process how and what happened.

The whole time within the coffee shop they had made a big scene. A scene big enough where everyone went silent and stared at the scene unraveling in front of them. As soon as Sarawat realized he was being stared at he collected his things and quickly left. 

Busting the coffee shop's doors and practically running to his car. Once in the car Sarawat just sat and got hold of the  wheel and banged his head repeatedly against it. He just sat there banging his head again, again, and again. Till for what seemed hours only to be twenty minutes and his forehead all red.  

There he sat there thinking about how just a week earlier they were fine, happy, and in love. They have been dating for two months with no issues. They were practically perfect from the moment Tine confessed.

"I really like you.. and I get it if you don't like me back but-" Tine was saying just to get cut off by  Sarawat with a kiss.  A loving but lethargic kiss that left Tine silent but delighted. 

From that day on they were each other's number one... 

Or that is what Tine thought. For that thought would be completely wrong in many ways. Since Sarawat decided that it was completely fine to "talk" to other people during the relationship. Considering that Sarawat was the "It boy" at their college. Having vast amounts of people waiting to get a chance to just be remotely around him . Falsely fabricating the thought of being able to "talk" to whomever and how many people he wanted.

Sarawat had honestly thought its was fine since that what he did in all his relationships. Let it be a boy or girl he would always "talk" to other people. Since he thought as long as you're not kissing its not cheating right? Sarawat would flirt with others, and his partners would always take it. Since they "loved him" so very much. That was until he got bored and broke up with them. That was the cycle until Tine came around.

Tine was different. Tine knew what he needed. Tine knew what he wanted. Tines whole character attracted Sarawat to the point where he was yearning for Tine. Sarawat being Sarawat dedicated himself to win Tine over, and that's what Sarawat did. By "accidentally" bumping into Tine many times, or the times he bought him snacks just to get to see him.

Eventually winning Tines heart. The same heart he would be so quick to break so many times. From calling girls in the middle of the night at their sleep overs. Literally flirting with other boys  right in front of Tine. Even going as far as leaving dates with Tine to go off with his so called "friend". 

With every  instance came heartache and with that came realization. Of how miserable he was becoming in this relationship. However Sarawat would always convince him otherwise. With things like " Tine, you're overthinking hes just a friend" or "Don't worry I only have eyes for you and only you". Tine would let things glaze over until he just had enough.

Finally having enough and cutting things off because Tine knew what he needed, and Tine knew what he wanted. And the whole relationship was something he did not at all want. So he got out of it. Even though that meant leaving the man he loved. The same man who repetitively broke his heart. The man he'll always long for but just can't have for his own sake.

So there sat Sarawat in his parked car. Thinking for hours till he came to a decision. He may not have full grasp of the situation but he knew what he needed to do. Sarawat was determined to complete his plan more than hes ever been his whole life.

Determined to get Tine back.

Uhmmm hey, hope that this didn't make you that sad. Don't worry it can only go uphill from here right? hehe. Who knows maybe Tine will recover and move on? And how exactly does Sarawat plan to win Tines heart again? We will have to wait and see I guess.

Anyways hope you enjoyed , and see you in the next chapter.
