2 Moons the Series 2

Part 146 - Under the Same Moon

Pha and Yo stood on the balcony of their beach side room, the gentle rhythm of the waves crashing against the shore providing a soothing backdrop to their conversation. The warm evening air enveloped them, carrying the sweet scent of the ocean and the distant strains of laughter from nearby beach goers.

Pha's heart pounded in his chest, his palms slick with a nervous sweat. He had wanted this moment for so long, the chance to be alone with Yo, the boy who had captured his heart and soul. Yet, as he stood beside him, words seemed to fail him, his thoughts tangled in a web of emotions and uncertainties.

Yo, on the other hand, seemed relaxed and at ease, his gaze fixed on the mesmerizing dance of the waves. His expression was unreadable, a veil of mystery that both intrigued and intimidated Pha.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Yo asked, his voice soft and gentle.

Pha nodded, his eyes darting from the ocean to Yo's face. "The sea," he managed to stammer out.

Yo chuckled lightly, the sound like a melody that sent shivers down Pha's spine. "The sea, yes," he agreed. "It's always changing, yet it always remains the same."

Pha found himself lost in Yo's eyes, those deep pools of mystery that seemed to hold the secrets of the universe. He longed to reach out, to touch Yo's hand, to feel the warmth of his skin against his own. But fear held him back, the fear of rejection, the fear of shattering the fragile bond they shared.

"Yo," Pha began, his voice barely a whisper.

Yo turned his head, his gaze meeting Pha's with a flicker of curiosity.

"I..." Pha trailed off, his words caught in his throat. The weight of his unspoken feelings pressed down on him, threatening to crush him.

Yo waited patiently, his silence encouraging Pha to continue.

"I like you, Yo," Pha finally confessed, his voice trembling with emotion. "I like you a lot."

Yo's eyes widened, a hint of surprise crossing his face. Then, a slow smile spread across his lips, a smile that filled Pha's heart with a warmth that chased away the chill of fear.

"I like you too, Pha," Yo replied, his voice soft and sincere.

Pha's heart soared, a wave of relief and joy washing over him. He had feared Yo's rejection, but instead, he had received his acceptance, his affection.

They stood there for a moment, lost in each other's gaze, the world around them fading away. Then, Pha took a step forward, his heart pounding in his chest. He reached out and gently took Yo's hand, the warmth of his touch sending a jolt of electricity through his body.

Yo didn't pull away. Instead, he met Pha's gaze, his eyes filled with a tenderness that made Pha's breath catch in his throat.

In that moment, Pha knew that they were on the brink of something extraordinary, something that would change their lives forever.
