"Welcome Khun Godt, Khun Perth. Please enjoy your stay."
A solemn doorman stands proudly at the door of a royal, luxurious vehicle to greet the royal guests. The palace has not welcomed any guests for a while so everyone is on their best behaviour.
Godt steps out of the vehicle nervously. The start of the day has gotten him anxious, from the route to Perth's new apartment to the silence of their time together; ending with a chic jaw-dropping car arriving to take them to Krist.
Perth follows Godt with a million thoughts in his mind, contemplating how to start a conversation that does not make their situation more awkward than it currently is. This is their first time meeting each other after the shocking confession without Krist being the middle person. He does not know how to handle the situation.
Their internal struggles are interrupted when an excited voice shouts from the palace entrance. Krist stands at the top with a wide smile before racing down to embrace them in a hug.
"I'm so happy you're here!!"
Godt and Perth both break into smiles at Krist's excitement. Something will never change.
"Khun Krist," A stern formally-dressed man in his sixties bowed politely. "We will send Khun Godt and Khun Perth's belongings into the guests' rooms. Brunch will be served at 11. We will let our guests settle in. I will personally bring the usual snacks and drinks for your enjoyment."
Krist smiles and nods.
"Khun Godt, Khun Perth," He turns to them. "My name is Bank. I am the butler of the royal palace. Please let me know if you need anything to make yourselves more comfortable during your stay."
Godt and Perth wais back to the formal butler, amazed by their hospitality. Krist pulls them inside, eager to spend time with his best friends. Perth is surprised by how quiet the palace is.
"Are we the only ones here?" He asks Krist as they enter the sunroom which is blasting with sunlight and also probably the simplest room in the palace.
"Yup! Singto is out with P'Kimmon, having a brothers' day. Khun paw and Khun mae are away for a trip up north with my mother," Krist smiles as he flops down on a bean bag. "So we have the entire place to ourselves!!"
Hearing the news, Godt immediately relaxes and leans back onto another bean bag. His hair ruffles messily at the back. At the same time, Perth chooses the remaining bean bag and dives into it, creating a loud thud. The bright room erupts with laughter. Everyone in the palace receives positivity from their warm prince-in-law.
"This is so exciting! I can't believe we didn't do this before!" Krist giggles like a puppy in a park.
"Because it's a palace?" Godt states seriously. Krist and Perth turn silent before all three of them burst out in laughter once more.
"You're saying like we're not posh enough to visit a palace," Perth wipes a tear while clutching his stomach from all the laughing exercises.
"I didn't mean that. It's different when we "visit a palace" and have a sleepover for two nights," Godt points out the obvious. Krist giggles again.
"But please warn us beforehand if you're gonna have steamy sex tonight. Godt and I need to be prepared. We ain't letting our ears suffer with your "ah ah ahs"... No siree."
Perth's teasing turns Krist into a blushing mess before he takes a white puffy pillow and aims, hitting Perth square on his face. Godt just sits back and shakes his head. His peace and quiet is interrupted by an incoming text.
"Have fun with Krist! I might join you for dinner."
"Godt? Are you okay?"
Godt glances up to see Krist and Perth staring at him with concerned expressions. He shrugs softly and smiles. "I'm okay. Kimmon says he might join us for dinner."
Krist nods with a smile. "So you guys have talked right? About everything? You haven't updated us. The update means you too, Perth. I need updates!" Krist frowns.
Realising they need to talk about their love situation, both Godt and Perth fidget nervously and exchange a glance. They have not even talked to each other since the confession. For a moment they had forgotten and gone back to their time in Australia. That ended pretty quickly.
"You first, Godt. Perth needs to explain more since you don't know the whole story."
Godt nods and sighs softly. "Well, we had the talk two day ago. Kimmon explained his situation with his fiancée. They do not need to be married if either one falls in love with another person. His fiancée is also supportive of us. So Kimmon told me his feelings and gave me the decision to make. I chose the option of saying I feel the same for him but I need time. So we decided to take it slow and let him chase me... for now."
Krist smiles wider at every word Godt says. He is happy they both decided to take things forward. Perth strangely feels happy for Godt. He does not know what happened in his past but he knows Godt went through hardships. Especially from his family.
"I'm happy for you. Let's talk someday? Just the both of us?" Perth offers. Godt blinks and nods, putting a smile in the room.
Krist swings to Perth. "You're next. Full story. Godt needs to know."
"Okay okay. Jesus, I didn't know you're so pushy. I hope Singto knows this," Perth rolls his eyes before clearing his throat. "Well, long story short: The day Krist and I met again, we went for dinner with Singto, Kimmon and their bodyguards. I got drunk so Suthapong brought me to his place. He kissed me that night and I woke up to him and Thanawat in the apartment. I didn't know who kissed me and they took me out for brunch and a dessert. After my confession, my mind was also filled with both of them. Thanawat cornered me one night after my class and kissed me. Only then I knew Suthapong was the one that kissed me that night. I began avoiding them after that. Suthapong did the same thing to me last night and asked me to give them a chance and reply to their messages. So ... that's that."
"Wow..." Krist blinks in amazement. "So is Godt still in your mind?"
Godt bites his lip nervously as they wait for Perth's response. After all, they notice he has not mentioned Godt.
"Not really... That's why I'm confused," Perth admits. "I don't know my feelings for anyone."
"So what are you going to do when they arrive?" Krist hints carefully. "You do know they're joining dinner right?"
Perth widens his eyes and slaps his forehead. He has not thought of that.
"What should I do..." Perth groans, making Godt and Krist laugh.
"And we're back to Australia. Remember how Perth always pouts when he can't complete his assignments on time?" Krist teases back. Godt laughs and nods.
"You guys are mean!" Perth huffs impatiently. "I'm serious here..." He slaps Krist away when Krist tries to ruffle his hair.
"Okay okay. Jokes aside, I think you can just act as yourself. You haven't given them an answer and I'm sure they won't pressure you into deciding just yet," Godt offers his opinion. Krist nods to agree. "Don't worry about it. We got your back."
Perth shrugs and tries not to freak out when he sees Thanawat and Suthapong again. He tries to focus on observing the two couples when Singto and Kimmon meet his friends. Then again, he has never seen Godt and Kimmon together. That will be something to look forward to.
The trio spend the whole afternoon relaxing after a huge brunch exclusively made for them. The lovely butler even served more snacks and fruits for their game sessions. Krist even whined for a much-needed nap after the amount of food stuffed down that could feed an entire village.
So ... Off to bed they go!

Perth stirs in his sleep, his consciousness waking up to sounds of kisses. His inner voice begs not to be kissed again while unconscious. Thankfully, there wasn't any hot breath or heavy weight on his lips or chest. He is safe.
He pops one eye open and sees a scene in front of him.
Singto lays on top of Krist with their lips mashed together. Krist has his hands around Singto's neck as he pulls him closer for a deeper kiss. Singto has a light smirk appearing as he enjoys the affection and kisses led by his husband.
Perth feels his face heating up and he attempts to turn his head to the other side without them noticing he is awake. He succeeds but is met with another scene.
Kimmon sits beside a sleeping Godt, his fingers gently caressing Godt's cheek. Kimmon has a tender look in his eyes as he stares at Godt. Godt moves a little and utters in a soft voice. "Mmm... N-no more foooood..." Kimmon chuckles softly before pressing his lips on Godt's forehead.
Perth groans internally.
Ahem!
A cough makes Perth jump, fully awake as he glances at the door to find Thanawat staring at him with his usual intensity. His violent actions also resulted in Krist and Godt waking up.
Krist widens his eyes and pulls the blanket above his head to hide his embarrassment. Singto laughs and places a kiss on Krist's hidden cheek. "Come on! It's time for dinner."
Godt stares at Kimmon in shock before noticing Perth beside him. He abruptly stands up and runs to the bathroom. Kimmon smiles and walks out of the room to follow him.
Perth gets into a sitting position and rubs his eyes. He feels a stare and glances at the door again. This time, Suthapong leans on the door with a smile. He goes to Perth and pulls him up by the hand. "Come on! Dinner is served!"
Perth is pulled along to the dining room where everyone is seated. He sees his seat between Thanawat and Suthapong.
Oh God...
