Summary:
3 years ago, Earth had a one night stand with a man he should not. He got pregnant, but his son would never know his other father. He couldn't even tell Kao that he has sired a son. All because Earth was powerless.
A prompt from @kaoearthing on Twitter.
***
A 2-year-old boy was holding hand with a young man. The boy was singing while swinging his hand back and forth while they walk together. The young man's other hand was holding their groceries. He sometimes gazed down at his son with adoration written so clearly on his face.
"Papa! Can Wion have choco ice cweam? Pwease..." begged the child to the young man.
The young man's, Earth, nodded and pulled out his wallet to take a few bahts of money. They walked to the ice cream vendors and order Rion's favourite chocolate ice cream.
Earth was gazing at the sight of his son who's enjoying his treats while they sat on a park bench. He sadly smiled; he feels sorry for his child because Rion will never know his other father. All because he wasn't allowed ever to tell that man.
Maybe by now, Rion's other father already has a potential wife, based on what the media have been saying lately. How could he not? He's the youngest billionaire in Thailand. Of course, he would have many suitable partners prepared for him.
Earth looked down at his shorts and a baggy white t-shirt, he smiled pitifully. How would he stand out over the others? He remembered being reminded of his position by an old lady he met.
***
Three years ago, Earth was working in Dechaphatthanakun corporations as a regular salaryman in the management department. They were having a celebratory party for scoring a deal with a US company, a known one for not easy to be persuaded to collaborate.
He was enjoying the free foods when his department manager ushering him to joined the main table as he was the one who wrote the contract for their deal. He didn't drink because of his low immune system, so he resorts to cola instead.
He was busy pouring the drinks to the managers who sat there. Then a tall and a bit tanned but also handsome man appears inside the room they had reserved for tonight's dinner. He was the CEO of the company Earth's working in. The man was late because he had some business to attend to.
Earth was panicking inside because that man was walking towards their table leisurely. His manager beside him nudged Earth's knee and whispered near his ear, "That's our CEO, named Kao Noppakao...you must have heard of him from news," he slurred a bit drunk.
Earth nodded mutely. He has been admiring Kao since he read the other's achievements when Earth was still in university. He was so admirable and also good looking, Earth thought. Looking him so up close like this really show how's the other look so gorgeous.
Afterwards, there was a short introduction, because the managers said Kao would often forget their name, Earth also start pouring drinks for him from the side. Their eyes met for a second, it was so fast, but Earth's heartbeat raced faster than ever.
Later on that night, he was the only one sober, so the manager asked Earth to call a taxi for their drunk CEO of better to take him home himself. He was repeatedly refusing for the second offer, but his manager was so out of it he just left the two of them outside.
With so much struggle because of their body size different, Earth helped Kao to get a taxi. The younger didn't really trust Kao to walk to his own house, let alone his bed, he decided to at least make sure the older get home safely.
Earth succeeded in bringing Kao to lay down on the bed. The other was passed out due to his drunken state. He looks around the spacious penthouse. The big TV in front of the king-size bed was all the wall display Kao's room has, while there were a few plants as decoration.
He was just about to leave the room when someone grabs his arm and pulls him back, and he fell on the spacious bed behind him. Earth was so startled he let out a little scream. He looked up to the body above him and shocked to find a curiosity look adorn Kao's face, akin to lustful.
*🔞*
Kao white shirt was opened halfway, and there's this redness on his cheeks to his ears. He was looking at the younger man under him like he wants to eat up those plump lips. It's been so long since he satisfies his needs, so seeing those lips, milky white skin, the lithe body beneath him, was enough to drove his senses wild.
"S-sir, wha-what, are you do-doing?" his voice came out in a stutter.
Kao smile softly at the petite body beneath him, "Will you let me hold you, tonight?"
Earth's eyes showed how shocked he is right now, but without waiting on his answer, there was already lips on his. The first kiss was rough, demanding, but later on, they turn so soft and loving.
Hands were trying to open the button of his work shirt, and when the hands found his nipples, Earth jerked his body while he's letting out a moan.
Kao's lips move from his lips to attack his white neck, and again his moans fill the empty room, there was even a little echo. His throbbing lips were parting with sounds of moan while Kao was busy nibbling on his neck.
Pleasure runs through him in from long ago, and he even gave the man more access to his neck by tilting his face to the side.
Kao's kisses went back down to his chest. Kao was immediately sucking on his pink buds that makes Earth moan loudly, back arching at the sudden extra pleasure running through him.
Kao's other hand goes to his other bud and start playing with it, his tongue work so hard to delight the body beneath him, he sometimes bites on it to add more indulgence for Earth, he was more than happy at the moans as the results for his work.
Kao keeps on playing on Earth's buds, going from one to another until he got tired from suckling. Earth's nipple had gotten a bit puffy from all the teasing Kao did to them. Earth was panting after all the moans he let out and the joy he felt.
Kao's hand slowly but surely move on his own to open the clothes he was wearing. When his hands arrived at Earth's button of pants, he looked up as to ask for permission. Earth was so turned on by now he nodded, giving his consent to the man above him.
Kao grinned and smiled sexily while his hands worked on the button. After both of them are only in their briefs, Kao looks up to see those eyes that captivating him so much. He kisses those kissable lips; meanwhile, his hands and body start making love to the body beneath him.
Sounds of moan and shout of Kao's name can be heard when they reach their climaxes, all of it could be heard from night until early morning.
*🔞*
The next morning, Earth woke up, and he was startled to have someone breathing down his neck. He turns his body slightly and found the peaceful face of Kao behind him. He smiled, but then he was reminded that Kao was probably too drunk even to remember their activities last night.
Earth fell in love with this handsome man when they first made eye contact at the dinner party. Call him cliche, but he could be such a sap at things called to love like these.
He was admiring the view of Kao's sleeping face. He wants to capture every little thing about the older as he could. He was actually dreading the moment he has to explain the situation to the older when he woke up.
Before he could get up to go to the toilet, the bedroom door opened and showed an old lady looking surprised at their state of nakedness. The bunch of marks Kao left on his white skin also doesn't help the situation.
Earth was shocked, but he refrains himself from making a sound, afraid that Kao would wake up. The lady is now looking at him with a stern face, and she gave him a signal to follow her out.
After he wears his clothes back, he was seated across the lady who resembles Kao so much that she could only be his mother. They were in a cafe a bit far from Kao's penthouse building. Earth was sitting stiffly with his head's down in shyness.
The lady was crossing his arms and looked at Earth in disdain. Finally, after a long time, she sighed.
"Who are you?" she asked.
Earth gulped, "My name's Earth Katsamonnat, ma'am."
"What is your relationship with my son?"
Earth looked up in startled. So he was right, in front of him was indeed Kao's mother, "I work for him, ma'am."
"Did you seduce him?"
Earth shook his head repeatedly right away, "No, no, I'd never dream of it."
"Are you a carrier?"
Earth was taken aback by the question; he himself had forgotten that he is actually a carrier. The fact that he's a carrier makes it possible for him to get pregnant, despite being a man. He could be pregnant now because they didn't wear any protection last night.
Looking at the young man's aghast look, Kao's mother takes it as a yes. A carrier wasn't that much heard of it in Thailand, but when she saw the young man lithe figure, he could be one, and now she was sure of it.
Kao's mother let loose of her crossed arms, "I want you never to approach my son ever again," she said. She looked to her right, and a man handed her a brown envelope, and she pushed it towards him.
"This will be the compensation for you. If you ever get pregnant with Kao's child, I will regularly send you money for child support. You can't ever bring your child to meet its father because it'll only be a hindrance for Kao's future," she said coldly.
Earth looked down at his hands, and his mind was thinking the scenarios if he's indeed pregnant. If Kao doesn't know of it, he'll live his life like usual, maybe even happy without the thought of having a child.
If Kao knew, he could refuse him, maybe hate him for forcing him to take the responsibility. His mind never works on the good 'if', because for him, it was only a dream to his mind.
He doesn't want to be hated by the one he loves, albeit he only fell in love with the said man last night. There's a saying that you want the one you love to be happy that you could give your everything to them.
Earth was one of that.
"Resign from the company today and leave Bangkok right away. I'll have my men to arrange the flight ticket for you," she continued.
Earth look up at the hateful looks she sent his way. He'd never dream of it, but, as he so unworthy to be with Kao?
***
That was the story on how Earth was so powerless and how Rion could never meet his father.
"Tell me, why did you agree to that old woman again, Earth?" Prem, his childhood friend, asked.
Earth only look bored at the question his friend had been asking him since he told him a few months ago. He was stroking Rion's head who's fast asleep on his lap.
"Don't mutter such word like you're powerless or your some stupid excuse as not to burden that man! Rion needs his father, and that man even deserve to know about his child existence, Earth!"
"I don't want Rion to be disappointed that his father could someday leave him for a better future! I don't even want him to feel the disdain from his own grandmother!" Earth had enough on Prem's rambling, "Besides, she kept reminding me every month when she sent the money."
"It's a damn threat, not a reminder, Earth Katsamonnat!" Prem glared at him, "So, she basically told you never to tell Kao of Rion's existence, but you know, she never forbids me!" with that Prem stormed out of Earth's studio apartment.
***
Kao has been looking for someone for almost three years now. He made a drunken mistake and slept with someone he couldn't recall the features after waking up. He's trusting his right-hand man, named Yacht, to do the job.
Unfortunately, with only the details that the other one was shorter than him akin to lithe, he has brown hair and those mesmerizing eyes that he could always remember.
He?
Yes, the fact that Kao swings another way wasn't made public, but he could never sleep with a woman, ever.
He could remember the feeling of his hands gripping the other's milky white thighs, his lips nipping on the other's slender neck, how he controlled the pace, when he flipped them over, how the heated kisses they shared that night felt.
He couldn't forget those feelings.
"Sir, after you asked me to spy around on the accounting department, I found something," Yacht said.
Kao looked up from the file he's working on, "What did you find?" he asked.
He could remember, that fated night was also the night he should be having a dinner party with the accounting and management department for their victorious deal.
"After almost 2 years snooping in the department, I found the day after the dinner party, a man has resigned. It was kept hush-hush by them, but I finally could get the information. It could be him by your description you told me."
Kao frowned, why did he resign?
"As to why he resigned, I don't know yet, but from the CCTV around your penthouse the next morning, I found this," Yacht pushed a file towards him.
What he saw inside shocked him. There were a bunch of pictures of a petite man with his mother in a cafe. What shocked him the most were the man figures, he could recognize that face now.
That's him!
But...why would that man with his mother that morning?
"From the recognition on your face right now, it really is him then. I have looked into it more, and under those photos, we included the man profile."
Kao looks for said file immediately.
"His name is Earth Katsamonnat, he worked here for a year," Yacht went on and on about Earth.
After Yacht finished reciting the file, Kao smile, "You did a great job. Did you find out on his whereabouts?"
Yacht hesitated for a moment, "I actually investigated your mother, sorry for that, but I found something interesting," he's pushing another file he has on his bag. Kao opened it up quickly with a frown on his face.
His mother?
While Kao looked at his mother list of bank account's transaction, Yacht continues, "The one highlighted with the same amount every month went to the same person, and that person name was Earth Katsamonnat."
Kao was flabbergasted, why would his mother gave Earth monthly money? Even if it's not much, but why every month?
The intercom on his table sounded, "Sir, there is a man named Prem Warut wants to meet you."
"What's his business?" Kao asked.
"He asked permission to meet you right away if you recognize the name of Earth Katsamonnat?"
***
Kao stormed to his family house with rage clearly shown on his face. After he found his mother, who's eating lunch with his father, he couldn't keep his composure anymore.
"Why did you do it?!" he asked angrily without greetings.
His mother was startled at the shout. His father glared at him, "What's the meaning of this, Kao Noppakao!?"
Kao pointed his finger at his mother, "You can ask mom instead, father. Ask her, what did she do to your grandson?"
His father was taken aback, and he looks at the aghast look on his wife's face.
"Mom wanted me never to meet my own son, she even threatened my son's carrier occasionally never to tell me I had a son, ever," Kao said.
"Carrier?" asked his father, confusedly.
Kao nodded and sat on a vacant chair, "My son's carrier is a man. I'm gay, father, I never wanted to tell you like this, but I just don't want mom to intervene with my life anymore," he said looking serious to his father. There's no going back on his words now, he thought.
His father then sends him a smirk, "I knew you're gay. I was waiting for the moment you came out to me by yourself."
Even though Kao was shocked to his core, he continued, "There was news of rumors of fiancee I never have that mom set for me. I don't need them, mom, I'm an adult, I can decide on my own what's best for me. That included who I want to spend the rest of my life with."
His mother sighed dejectedly, "So you knew of Earth then."
Kao nodded, "I knew you sent both of them to Chiang Mai, you also sent them money regularly. Money that doesn't really cover for many necessities, I bet," he sighed imagining how Earth must have struggled financially.
His father looked at his mother sternly, "I'm disappointed in you. As a mother you should just support your son from the side and not intervened," he's now looking at Kao, "Go get that man and my grandson, now, Kao Noppakao."
Kao nodded and ran out from the house that instant.
***
There was a knock on his door. Earth took out the lasagna he made from the oven while his son sat waiting patiently at his highchair. Earth took off the oven gloves from his hands and went to open the door.
Outside, there stood tall Kao with a nervous smile and worry written on his face. Earth was taken aback he let go of the door handle and step back. Earth was glancing behind where Rion sat looking at him in confusion.
Kao moved back a little with both hands raised in the air as if to surrender, "Wait, wait. I'm here to take you back to Bangkok!" he said.
Earth look up to look at the sincerity written on Kao's face, "Why? I thought, your fiancee, mother?" he can't even make out his own words.
Kao smiled softly, "There was none. No fiancee is waiting for me. My father asks me to get you there, my mother can't win against him," he explained.
There was little footstep behind Earth, "Who, papa?" asked Rion.
After seeing his own son, who's face really resembles him in many ways, Kao's eyes teared up seeing the boy hiding behind Earth.
Earth picked Rion up and faced Kao, "I'm guessing you knew of his existence then?" he asked the older. Kao nodded.
Kao's eyes keep trailing to take every detail of his son appearance. Earth look at Rion's face as the boy keeps seeing Kao curiously and not an inch of fear of meeting new people, "Rion, this is your other father," he finally said.
Rion look back at his Papa instantly, "Wion's daddy?"
Earth smiled as his son already called Kao as daddy. "Yes, he is your daddy."
Rion's hands start to try to reach out to Kao's direction. Meanwhile, the proclaimed daddy was stood frozen with tears streaming down his face when his son called him daddy right away.
Earth helped his son by step forward towards Kao. When Rion could touch him, Kao snapped out of his trance and took hold of his son in his arms.
"Yes daddy is here, baby, daddy is here," he kept repeating that as a mantra while his face was burrowed on his son's little shoulder.
Meanwhile, Rion was happily tucking his head on the crook of his daddy's neck and said, "Daddy, daddy, daddy," he squealed.
***
After the three of them settled down and Earth finally invited the older in, he also asked the older to eat his homemade lasagna together. They ate happily still with dreamy eyes on Kao and Earth's face, while Rion was busy munching on his food while swinging his legs.
Kao looked at Earth happy expression seeing their son's content face, "I know I don't really know you, you probably know little about me too. Would you mind we get to know one another before any serious commitment?"
Earth snapped his neck so fast to look at Kao's serious face, "You mean, you mean, there could be a commitment between us?" he asked fearfully, afraid he heard it all wrong. He never imagines Kao even to suggest or propose a commitment to him.
Kao chuckles, "You know, between the time of me looking for you and knowing you through your profile, meeting you probably be the turning point in my life. Maybe it could even be said that I fell in love with you when I saw you holding our son in your arms," he smiled.
"So, would you be willing to go to Bangkok to meet your future in-laws, together with the three of us?" Kao asked, holding out his right hand to Earth, but pairs of little hands were put above his hand. He turns his head to look at his son.
Rion puffed up his cheeks, "Daddy, me too!"
Earth giggled while a tear fell from his eye, he put both his hands on top of Rion's hands and nodded to Kao's direction, "I should probably tell you, that I already fell in love with you the first time we made eye contact 3 years ago," he smiled sheepishly.
Kao was taken aback by the confession, and he put his left hand on top of his new-found family's hands. He promised himself to make up and cherish his little family that consists of Kao, Earth, Rion, and probably another child they have in the future.

Hello! So, I'm in the middle of archiving my one-shots here again. From Twitter onto Wattpad. I also did A LOT of editing on the grammars and the sentences. Major editing and a major pain in the ass, I can't believe I made MANY mistakes when I wrote this one, lol.
