"Any luck?"

Aiden came to his senses, hearing the deep voice besides him. And he looked sideways, to find Arthit staring blankly out of the window. Laid back with crossed legs... The passing street lights giving his visible half of the face a deadly view...

"No..." Aiden put away his phone and stared out of the window on his side.

Aiden shivered... Hearing the audible gnashing of teeths.

He would lie if he said that in the time that passed... He didn't fall for the sweet, innocence of the kid.

The way he wore his feelings, right on his sleeves. And looked at everything like a dream... All the aspects making it hard for Aiden, to not go fall head over heels.

So... He noticed the way the kid looked at his brother... It wasn't hard to understand. And it hurt Aiden, too much...

So he tried to step down... But when Kongpob didn't find him for few days... He became a mess... No matter the training, Aiden remembered Kong crying when he wasn't around... Arthit told him everything, after one of his visits, to Kong's penthouse.

Though he never asked for an explanation about Aiden. Or comfort... Arthit made it clear, that Kongpob has looked longingly at his bedroom's door. Masked his tears and was overtly upset. Arthit asked Aiden to stop all of it... That they are in this together.

So, when he saw the look of relief in Kong's beautiful charcoal eyes when Aiden finally joined Arthit, after few weeks of absence. He decided, he will brace the feelings and give the feelings that spiralled inside him to Kongpob... Without any regret.

He has dropped his instincts of dominating the kid that night... Holding him close to himself. Giving him all the comfort he wanted.

Aiden was delighted to know that he meant something to Kongpob... Explaining that love has many faces. That even his ever straight faced brother couldn't control. It wasn't rocket science to understand, that Aiden wasn't the only one nose deep.

The look on his brother's hazel eyes, whenever he stared at Kong's sleeping face. Or whenever he followed Kong's movements like a lost puppy, wasn't very subtle.

They wanted the kid when they first saw him... It was strange that they always wanted the same thing at the same time from their childhood.

That have led to fights. Lots of them... Until, they learned the art of sharing.

But Kongpob, came as a sudden surprise... They didn't know the true art of sharing until Kongpob. Because none of them wanted to let the kid go... He had something in him, that binded both the brothers... Very deep...

Because, no matter the reason they got the boy in their life... They have surely fallen for the charm of the kid... The beautiful nature and the golden heart... Which never cared for money or fame...

And in the years that they spent together, looked like Kongpob was able to make a place, even in the ice cold heart of his ruthless older brother.

"To the penthouse, Landon..." Arthit instructed their cheffy in his deep voice.

And no matter how much Aiden enjoyed looking at the kid breaking... He felt a little sorry for Kongpob this time. Arthit didn't seem much amused... And it can end up bad.

They met Kongpob during one of their events. Kong was skateboarding outside in the park near the hotel they were staying in. His beautiful dusky self and young carefree happiness stole their heart. Well at first their lower half that is. Which stirred at the same time.

They were twins and it wasn't a surprise that they wanted the same thing at the same time.

They'd lie if they said there wasn't a feud between them, even though they learned sharing. There was a silent war. But they always shared. Always. So Kong was soon stopped being treated as an exception.
