I'm weak (Hiatus)

9: But I'm Weak

A few hours ago  

Ming POV 

I'd brought Kit home after he fainted in the party hall. He looked pale from the stress of everyone crowding around him after I had left the hall. I sat beside him, I stroked his cheek softly and I saw his bottom lip twitch slightly, but he seemed much more peaceful than the state I had found him in and when I was driving him to back his apartment, he was in a restless state and seemed to be having a nightmare and I felt helpless while driving because I couldn't do anything to aid him and focus my attention on the road at the same time, but I glanced over at him several times just in case he looked any worse because then I'd pull the car over or change route and take him straight to the hospital.

Thinking back, I had only returned to the hall when I saw him fall and despite being too far to catch him, I shouted out to him from where I had just reentered. I was thankful for P'Pha having good reflexes and being able to get there in time to catch him and preventing him from potentially having an accident. He may be known as the smart medical student and being incredibly handsome, he ought to be as the famous university moon, but he was also incredibly dense as kind as he was, he failed to realize to realize his own feelings towards my best friend Yo for long enough, but all was well since they were now a loving couple and it was cute to see their journey to get to the point they were now. 

P'Beam tried creating a barrier between the people who gasped, shocked at this development and Pha who was assessing Kit's current condition. Beam was shouting, "give him space! Let him breathe!" Although some people did move away, a lot of people remained stationary until P'Forth joined by his side and then people started shuffling away from the scene in fear of the reputable hazer of the engineering department. "I had the situation in control Forth, you needn't of come to help me," he claimed with confidence.

"I know you did, but I just wanted to stand beside and support my wife," Forth smiled sincerely while Beam blushed a deep red at the endearment Forth used. Since they had first got together on a one night stand, their relationship had a marital essence about it since Forth had started to call Beam his wife, insisting that he had to take responsibility for their first night and since he insisted on staying in Beam's life as his boyfriend, he said he may as well call him wife now, much to Beam's protest.

Thanks to those two I could finally quickly move towards where Kit was and Phana helped Wayo move Kit into my arms saying that he just fainted due to stress, but luckily it wasn't anything too serious. Forth and Beam made their way over to us and Beam looked the most worried for Kit aside from me because he felt guilty for not being able to get through the clusters of people to help Kit before. He seemingly had very maternal instincts as he protected and treated Wayo like a son and even though Phana was his best friend would feel no hesitation to reprimand him if he ever hurt Wayo. Beam put his hand to Kit's head and Kit's reaction was quite intense as he moved his head away from the cool sensation of Beam's hand, but he turned to me and assured me like Phana that it wasn't a fever or anything serious and to take him home and let him sleep. So I did exactly that after Beam gave me the spare set of keys to Kit's apartment and helped me get Kit into my car.

 I got up and loosened my dress shirt after getting rid of my blazer and resumed my position sitting on the bed beside him. I put my head in my hands with my elbows resting on my knees, I contemplated the conversation that had gone on before with Cud and I couldn't help but wonder if I had said the right things.

Flashback

I pushed the doors of the halls open and caught a glimpse of Cud turning a corner and stalked after him in that direction. Catching up with him and now only a couple of metres behind, "Cud!" I called out to him, but he walked even faster so I adjusted my pace so that I was side by side with him.

"Don't call me by name. I don't want any association with you." He said without even so much as glancing in my direction.

"Wait! Don't speed up! Why do you hate me?" I asked trying to keep up with his pace, which was on the verge of sprinting. His speed was ridiculous and I wasn't unfit, but I hadn't gone to the gym as frequently recently and so my body felt less physically inclined to exercise at the moment. I have to cut down on a kit kat or two?

"You dated my sister while loving someone else for a long time! You led her on for so long?! How could I not hate you! I'm her big brother! I'm meant to be there to comfort her, but I was working a summer job on the other side of Thailand at the same time so I wasn't there to support her. Do you have any idea how distressed she was! She felt so betrayed when you said that you had been in love with someone else for a while and you wouldn't even tell her who! As well as you didn't date anyone for months after you broke up with her and that's what broke her heart. The fact you gave her such an excuse and then didn't even date anyone afterwards. Even after all this time, you led her on! How can anyone like a guy like you?!" He blew up in my face, but I felt slightly relieved at the same time.

"So let me just clear this up. We are talking about Moowan, yes?" I wasn't exactly sure who his sister was but I could safely assume Moowan. "The same Moowan who kept in contact with me all this time and never uttered a word about this and all this time has talked to me agreeing to be friends."

"She has continued to talk to you all this time because you led her on to thinking that she still had a chance!"

"I did no such thing! She has just interpreted my offer to remain friends wrong and if you must know I did tell her that I started to date the person a while ago. The person I love is Kit. It's always been Kit and I'm sorry for liking Kit despite dating Moowan, but it's hard to interpret my own feelings sometimes. Give my apologies to your sister and I did like her, but only as a friend and I didn't want to lose her as a friend after she confessed so I agreed and I'm sorry for that and I think you're a really great guy, Cud, for standing up for your sister like this. She should appreciate you as a brother greatly." I had my hand on his shoulder and was talking with so much honesty that I found it odd myself and I had admitted my love for Kit to my ex's brother, which was also somewhat out of the ordinary.

"I think I understand kind of. Moowan tends to have unrealistic expectations of her boyfriends and I suppose that also may apply to her ex's. Also, I'm sorry for giving you such a hard time, I was clouded by my biased judgement and didn't think of considering your feelings or Kit's for that matter. He's a really good person and you should make sure you keep him close. I wish you luck in your relationship and I'm off anyway I have to tell Moowan your side of the story and to meet the person I really like. I didn't mean to lead Kit on in any way, but it was a spur of the moment thing, but I ask you please to convey my apologies to him nevertheless." He handed me a sheet of paper, "this is my number if Moowan ever bothers you or if you just want to talk since we're cool now. I'll tell her to not bother you though. See you around Ming Kwan!" He walked off casually after that.

Present day (even though technically all of this happened on the same day so let's try again)

Present moment

I felt something pressing against my back so I looked to my right, Kit had sat up and was now leaning on my back still half asleep and I couldn't help but chuckle softly as it was like a strange hug, but nevertheless, I could feel his warmth. "Ming, don't leave me" he mumbled softly and I realized that he was still asleep. 

I laid him back down and he curled his body up into a ball, reminding how a cat curls up in front of the fireplace. "Just a kitty cat," I said lying down next to him and being lulled into a sleep myself.
