Not in That Way (2)

~

Kongpob looked at his Arthit, as he was still in a deep sleep. Kongpob checked his temperature and sigh gladly the fever already gone. He swiped his sweat and kiss his forehead lovingly.

As long as he remembered, Arthit always by his side from the first time they met.

It was the first day of summer after his twelve birthday and it was his first time went hunting in the forest. He was too excited to catch a wild rabbit that he got separated from his guards. His mother loves to eat rabbit satay so he needed to catch it and proved his mother that she's now can lean at him as he was now already grown up.

He was aware that he was stand to close to the edge of the cliff but his prey is already in his reach. He prepared his arrow and shot the rabbit and he was success.

He took his prey and too much happiness overwhelmed him and the rock at his foot now began to tear apart. He almost fell to the cliff but lucky he found a branch and hold in it by his right hand as his left hand still hold the rabbit. He was screamed his lung out for help but that seem useless as he was alone at this side of the forest. He prayed that his guards are smart enough to find him before it was too late.

And then a hand found him.

Still fresh in his mind that first time he looked at Arthit, his savior, it was like Arthit was glowing from the sun light behind him. Arthit ask Kongpob to let go the rabbit and take his hand, which one Kong obey him immediately. He helped Kong to get up and they both sat under the tree.

Arthit check Kongpob condition and notice Kong was bleeding and he offer to treat his wound. He said he was a medical student at the Kingdom Academy and he was three years older than Kongpob. He was searching for several kind of herbal plant to study to. And he was mashed some of the plant and put it on top Kongpob's wound to stop it bleeding.

Ever since then, Arthit never leave Kongpob side. Surely it takes some time to they finally surrender to their feeling and confessed to each other. For Kongpob, Arthit is his sun, his savior and the love of his life. He needed Arthit in his life because Arthit bring out the best of him. He was ready become a King because Arthit made him believe that. And Kongpob couldn't imagine any better person to be his side when he ruled the Kingdom.

Arthit was calm and always think deep before doing something. In the other hand, Kongpob was impulsive and sometimes couldn't hold his anger. But being with Arthit, Kongpob learn how to control his anger. He's quite doing well now. If he's not, surely Khun Teeraparth already in his grave now.

Of course, they keep their relationship in secret. They have a secret place at the Palace to meet and do their business. But Kongpob is the King now, surely some people suspicious about his relationship since he never dating anyone.

He realized that he put Arthit's life in danger. He still not sure how many people knew about his relationship with Arthit. But Khun Teerapart's words keep lingering in his mind. That old man surely not the only one who knew about them.

He worried about Arthit whenever he's not around with him. He already put some of his spy to looking at Arthit's safety every day. Arthit now worked at Kingdom hospital as a physician. He's the great one among his friends, and he's bright personality made everyone loves him. Kongpob never heard a bad rumor about Arthit so it's mean Arthit co-worker didn't find about them yet.

Kongpob didn't want to hide Arthit forever. Arthit deserve a title beside him and he wanted people to know how charming Arthit is. He wanted to make Arthit his Queen. Arthit is a man, he knew it but Kongpob couldn't think any better candidate to be his Queen except Arthit.
