Darlings with cheeky smiles

Chapter 14

Bright chuckled quietly as he reminisced how frustrated Arthit had been because of Kong's cheekyness and urge to say the final word.
On the other hand Arthit had also secretly admired his righteous boldness.
Not everyone would had been willing to challenge The Devil Head Hazer that Arthit was time and the time again.

But back to the real topic...
Should he go and see the guy after work?
Technically they WERE friends, right?
There was nothing wrong with going to see a friend, right?
Maybe he could even figure out what these all weird feelings were at the same.

Yup.
That was exactly what he was going to do.
He glanced at clock that hanged on the wall.
Dammit.
Couldn't that damn thing just hurry up?
Didn't those stupid pointers know that he wanted to see that cute freshman that made him feel weird rather sooner than later?
He glared at the device.
Maybe that would make it run faster.

"Um, nong Bright? Mind to get some work done instead of staring daggers to the clock?" Said voice somewhere near at him.
He sighed again, tearing his eyes away from the ticking device.
He turned to look at the woman who had spoken.

"Why won't you come here and show me what I'm supposed to do?" Bright asked flirtatiously making his co-worker laugh and shake her head amusedly.
"Why won't I indeed. Just give me a second to finish this and then I'll give you all my attention."
Bright grinned at that.
If he had to be stuck in this office two more hours, he could as well make best of it.
He glanced at clock one more time.
'Just you wait Prayut, as soon as I'm done here, I'm gonna find you, and I'm going to figure out what all this electricity between us means'

                  ***************

"So... what's going on with you and P'Bright?" Kongpob asked as he walked with Prayut towards noodle place where his friends were supposed to be waiting at them.

Prayut could feel light blush raise on his face.
Should he tell to Kong that somehow he had developed feelings for that crazy fool?
It's not like Kongpob would judge.
Errrr... or maybe he would.
Not because of gender, but because of person.
Shit.
He really didn't have any luck with romance now did he.

Just think about it.
First Arthit who had shitty temper and some kind problems with his self esteem, and now Bright who first of all claimed to be straight and who was absolutely ludicrous till his bone.
He sighed.

"Nothing. Nothing is going on between us" he said.
'Unfortunately' he mentally added.
"You like him, don't you?" Older male pressed.
"What gives you that idea?" Prayut asked surprised.
"It's just a feeling" other one shrugged casually.

Youger man halted, frowning thoughtfully.
Kongpob stopped and turned around as he noticed that younger man wasn't walking with him anymore.
"Something wrong?" He asked.
There was short pause before younger man answered.
"When you first decided to go after P'Arthit, what was it like?" Prayut wanted to know.
Kongpob cocked his head slightly to left wondering why was Prayut asking that.

"I was scared" he finally confessed.
"Scared? You?"
Expression on freshman's face made corner of Kongpob's lips turn up as an slightly lopsided smile.
"What? I'm only a human. I get scared too. It was all new to me. I had never had feelings like that before. Not even mentioning about shock I felt because I was having these feelings towards another male. Plus I had been quite... obnoxious towards him before. There was no way he could ever end up liking me back I thought back then"

"But you guys are together now" Prayut reminded while raising his other eyebrow.
"Yeah. But it wasn't easy road" Kong said fondly.
"P'Bright isn't gay" taller man pointed out quietly.
"P'Arthit wasn't either. In matter of fact he had been smitten to his female friend for quite a time already when I first started to realize I had feelings towards him and tried to get closer at him" Kong told.
"P'Bright is crazy" younger added.
"P'Arthit is addicted to Pink Milk" older shrugged.

Prayut opened his mouth to say something more but Kong interrupted at him.
"Look, I don't know what are you trying to proof but P'Bright isn't actually that bad as he seems. Yes, he's loud, lively, exhausting and often irritating but he has really big heart and he's always looking after his friends, even though they abuse at him in daily basis. He's also probably the most positive and cheerful person I have ever met."

That made freshman feel bad.
Of course he knew how good person Bright was.
He hadn't meant to insult at older male.
He had only tried to find excuses why he couldn't feel the way he felt towards senior.
He hung his head ashamedly.

"P' went to your house, didn't he?" Kong prompted softly, eyeing his newest friend thoughtfully.
"Yes" Prayut admitted.
"Did it help?"
"Help?" Prayut repeated confusedly, blinking to the other male.
"Did he talk to your parents?"
"Uh, yes. Yes he did"
How the hell Kongpob knew all this?
Was that guy a psychic?
"How did it go?"
"Well, they weren't exactly thrilled, but at least they try" Prayut said.
"Hmm... it wasn't catastrophe then. Considering it was P'Bright who was there assuring your parents, I almost expected something extreme" Kongpob joked.
"I think my parents liked at him. He can be really charming when he wants to" Prayut said blushing as he remembered how his mom had been very fascinated because of Bright during dinner.

"So, you haven't confessed your feelings to P'Bright yet?"
Prayut shook his head.
"No, I haven't"
His eyes grew suddenly big.
"You tricked at me!" He accused pouting at Kongpob who grinned impishly.
"Guilty" Kong chuckled as he raised his hands in front of him as an surrender.
"Shit. I didn't want anyone to know" Prayut cursed feeling suddenly very tired.
"Why?"
"Because I don't want any more problems."
"Don't you wish to be with him?"
"P'Bright is straight" Prayut reminded.
"Are you sure? Because personally I wouldn't bet my money for that claim"
"Huh?"
"Meaning; I don't think he's as straight as everyone think he is. He did kiss you, right?"
"Uh, yes"
"And it wasn't just a little peck either" Kong said using suggesting tone while puckering his lips thoughtfully.
"Where are you getting at?" Prayut asked nervously not quite sure if he wanted to hear Kongpob's answer.
"I think you should have a little talk with our dear jackpudding..."
