The blue ceramic mug brought from the house was picked up from the shelf. The Teacher who worked at the school until late at night tore a Milo packet into the glass. He secretly added coffee mate because he liked it very much before pouring water and standing with a daze.
The stars are full in the sky outside from the view inside the room that is bright...it will be better if there's someone here to watch the stars together. He likes to watch the stars but not to the point where he knows any stars particularly.
The teacher volunteered to lean his hip against a long wooden table. Today, when the students finished their exams, he sat down to clear the work as there isn't any light to use in his house. He plans to make good use of the lights in the school and make it as worthwhile as possible. P'Mesa and P'JJ came to accompany him but just left a few minutes ago. Once he gets to be alone quietly like this... he gets distracted by his own thoughts.
The image of someone with a playful smile makes his heart skip a beat. He's blowing out the cigarette smoke while flipping the camera away which he can bet with all his money in his wallet that the girls in the pub are kneeling for him. Prince wonders if anyone in the world could possibly dislike him. The person who is not serious with a relationship like Kuafah makes Prince question his own feelings.
Jealous? It's not like that
Worried? Why would I be? He asked himself.
It must be something between disappointment, regret for someone who values words like him.
He used to date 2 people during his high school days. The first one is a girl that is 2 years older than him. They started dating in the fourth grade, couldn't last for four months, then broke up because she had someone else. Her reason for him at that time was because he was too good for her. They like to say that girls like bad guys but in reality they don't. No matter who it is, in the end, they don't like things to be boring. There should be something surprising, something that makes your heart skip a beat.
Not someone who's boring like him.
As for the second person, they started dating during the fifth grade...is a boy.
Yes it's a boy. He didn't tell anyone much because it wasn't an open relationship and he hated the relationship with 'No name' which is why he put that into a stop. Even though he's a boring person, he's not going to let himself stand still inside that fog...although he's able to breathe properly, he has no idea what kind of challenges he's going to face a few seconds later.
It's better to stay away
"..."
That was the time when the lights in Prince's office went off. He wasn't surprised at all because it was normal. In the village, it would go on and off like this on a regular basis. The thin person reaches out his hands for the closest lantern. Before turning to look behind him and saw that someone was standing there. It shocked him at first because that person's arrival was so quiet.
The light from the lanterns licked someone's face. When he raised the only light source in the room, the other party also moved and walked closer.
The mole under his left eye on his handsome face made him look even better. Even though they haven't known each other for long, he knew that this person has a lot of people walking into his life just to let him choose.
And he doesn't want to be one of them
He doesn't wish to be in anyone's choice.
"Sawadee krab Teacher"
"..."
"I've called but you refused to talk, does that mean that you're sulking?"
"No" He replied simply, the doctor couldn't help but smile because that stubborn face today tie his front hair up as he might be annoyed that his long hair is blocking his eyes when he is working.
Phaya Suea Krong flowers that bloom only a few times in the year round have fish out from his back. The person collected along the way, when the Forest Department uncle said that beautiful flowers like this are suitable for giving to important people because of their meaning of this flower means 'My love for you is about to bloom'
Kuafah tucked one of the flowers behind the student's Teacher, it made him realize that just by looking at the pictures are cute but when he gets to tuck it by himself, get to look with his own eyes like this.
Let the time pass by slowly like this.
He then felt that something was blooming.
"Do you want to say something?"
"I don't like your face at all." Look into your eyes and say like that. But the person smiled so much that the teacher couldn't help but push his chest to get out of the way...He don't like his face at all.
Because it makes his heart beat every time.
"You said you don't like it but you still let me tuck the flowers for you" The person who was about to walk away turned to look at some people with disgust. He did not remove the flowers because he didn't want to make the other person feel bad. because he knows that he carries flowers from far away...Phaya Sua Krong It's at the foot of the mountain, isn't it?
"Where are you going, we haven't seen each other for one night"
"Shower krab"
"You have not drank your Milo and you have not seen the stars as well. How can you go to shower just like that?" a soft voice said as he sat down on a chair facing outwards, looking through the big windows...the stars are clearly visible because the school is almost the highest of the village
The person followed and stopped next beside the person who was sitting on the chair, staring at the starry sky sense of touch and the warmth of the palm that is giving the feeling of dependability. He wrapped around his palm interlocking their fingers before resting his head on the hips of someone who prayed that silence will not make the other party listen to his heartbeat.
"That's North Star"
"..."
"It's at the north, the brightest in the sky and will not changes position no matter how the Earth spins, and over there...the Pleiades"
"Do you think it's true? The story of the Pleiades"
"Teacher, can you tell me about it?" His voice was pleading as he gently embraced the thin man's waist towards himself until finally the person sat down on his lap.
"There's a grandfather and grandmother who raised a hen. Soon the hen laid seven eggs and seven chicks were born."
Kuafah tightened his arms and hugged the thin waist, breathing in the person's scent... They're only been separated for one day. How can he miss him this much? He's being sedated by some kind of drug, or is he addicted to something?
Cold weather
Beautiful stars
Or the person in his arms.
"One evening, a pilgrim came to settle at the foot of the mountain. Both grandfather and grandmother have to prepare food to offer for tomorrow. But when they returned home, they realized that there was not enough food left to offer. Grandfather and Grandmother felt very sad as they're afraid that they would starve because there was only one house in this neighborhood."
"Grandfather and Grandmother discussed that they might have to kill the mother hen and cook food for monks. Both Grandpa and Grandma felt very sorry because of love and pity for the hen. And the chicks will become orphaned chicks. The hen secretly heard grandmother and grandfather consult each other and decided to give up her life to repay the kindness of grandfather and grandmother"
"When the chicks found out, they jumped into the fire as well. Gratitude and love for the hen merit resulting in the seven chicks being born into seven stars in the sky, gathered together in one cluster...It's called the Pleiades." He said cheerfully like a kid that is proud that he remembered his mother's bedtime stories.
Kuafah placed his chin onto Nong's shoulder, whispered "good job krab" to him. He pressed his kiss into his shoulder like someone who can't seem to resist him. Before he knew it, the teacher was blushing, he forgot how he felt before the other person came back.
"Are you still angry at me?"
"I'm never angry in the first place"
"Then what do you feel, Can you tell me?"
"Do you speak to others in this kind of tone regularly?"
"Nope"
"..."
"I only use it on my own brother and this person who's sitting on my lap now" The owner of the question was silent, his heart pounding so hard that he felt the warm wind blowing beside his cheeks was violent. Until some storms swirled in his stomach, and indeed, he was not strong enough to withstand his own feelings.
"I just feel that if you say something and you can't do it. It is better not to say"
"I called but you fainted. I was worried to death"
"Why didn't I know about this?"
"Because you kept believing Mesa and JJ"
"But you're really flirtatious like what they told me" Said the younger man with big eyes before he cried out because he was slightly suppressed by the shoulder. The doctor's fangs were buried in the skin. Not long after, he broke away.
Ruin him both physically and mentally.
What a great man
"You know it's painful?"
"And you know in which situation biting feels good?"
"Don't have. There's none of the situations where biting feels good. Do you want me to bite you back?" He replied before trying to wriggle to get out of the octopus's hand that hugged him tightly on his lap, but it's not effective as he's much smaller than him which means that he had lesser strength than him.
Once he gets back home, he plans to go to the gym every morning and make his parents confused.
"I'll let you bite back. There is a time when you get bitten and it feels good"
"When is it?"
"When having sex :)"
Smacks
"Crazy doctor"
"hahaha" The person who was slapped softly on the cheek that creates a loud noise laugh till his eyes closed. Prince tries to wiggle free like someone who has awakened from a reverie. The more he struggle, the tighter he hugs...The more he move, the more he knew that he needs to stop
Because
"You know that I'm crazy then why are you still struggling?"
"..."
Because he just realized which part of the doctor's body he was sitting on.
"You know I miss you but why do you have to seduce me?"
"Khun!"
But just now...he said he misses him?
"Why are you staying still this time?"
"L-Let go, I'm going to take a shower"
"Can I sleep here too? Too lazy to walk back home"
"Just go back"
"I'm scared of ghosts" He said in a soft voice and hugged him tightly, trembling. It is nice to smack him in the cheeks again until it turns red this time.
"I think I might need to go back to study high school again if I believe you" Prince jumped up and left the doctor's arms successfully. The person who is in a good mood can only keep laughing.
Prince turns and gives the doctor a death glare...just wait and see, he will take revenge someday.
"You go back. I'm going to take a shower and come back to work and sleep
"I'll sleep here"
"Why are you stubborn?"
"And why are you stubborn?"
And why? Why are the questions the same but the feelings are different? He felt like a child who had been scolded by his parents. Plus, he always feels down whenever his parents scold him. Prince mumbles softly to himself before pointing out that there is only one sleeping bag.
"There's only one. I won't be responsible if your cold"
"Sure"
"There's another set of my pajamas in the closet...or you've already bought yours?"
"Mesa and JJ told me that Teacher Pin is gonna sleep here, which is why..." He pointed behind him to tell him that he had prepared his pajamas and put them in his backpack before he arrived.
Prince who realized that he shouldn't be thinking lowly of Kuafah. How high must his IQ be, in order to come out with this plan?
The plans are too high :(
From the expectation that he would not talk to him again when he came back.
Only when he saw his face...it became you had me at hello.
"You can shower alone?"
"You don't have to shower with me. Are you crazy?"
"What are you thinking? I just want to accompany you"
"..." A thin person who purses his lips because his face heats up. He asked himself as well 'what are you thinking?'
The doctor who saw his grumpy face from the faint light from the lanterns. He could only stand up because he's going to accompany him anyways with a lantern in his hands...uhh he doesn't want to be separated from him.
"Why isn't the light back yet? I can't continue with my work like this"
"Then don't, the weather is so good to sleep"
"Usually the light has to be back. Long dead like this. I doubt that there's definitely a problem at the foot of the mountain"
"Oh, it must be like that" Kuafah said, casually holding his hand and led him to the school's bathroom. As for the light, there's nothing going on at the foot of the mountain. What's the problem? He ordered Mesa and JJ to cut off the lights by luring them with money.
They have been friends for many years. Why don't he know that money can always buy friends.
"I thought you said that you're afraid of ghosts. How come you're able to send me to shower?"
"The ghost will appear if you're alone"
"I will never believe that you're afraid of ghost"
"Fine, I'll not use this trick anymore"
"You have such a high plan. I will be more careful"
"Uhh the bathroom door is easy to open"
"Hey! don't you dare come in" Prince said loud and clear, but Kuafah ignore him and hung his lantern before he went and picked up the phone and waved back and forth
"Can I play music?"
"Yes, but you can't come in. If not, I'll punch you"
"Nuisance"
"It's because you threaten me"
"If I'm really threatening, I won't let you stand here arguing. Go take a shower or you'll catch a cold"
"I'll really punch you"
"Or you want me to shower you?"
"Hey!" The person quickly walked into the bathroom. Before he closed the door in his face like when he would do it at home, his parents will give him a warning. The volunteer teacher grumbled to himself in the bathroom, rolling his eyes at the person humming outside. Prince opened the tap to fill the bucket with water. The faint light from the outside lantern was enough to guide him to see the equipment in the restroom.
and closed the tap when the bucket was full and heard the sound of the other person singing clearly.
"Look at the stars...Look how they shine for you."
"..."
"Your skin, your skin and bones...turn into something beautiful" The cold water that is cold that makes him jump usually. But now he is more focused on the guy who's singing with the stars outside.
His lips move slowly as he sings the next verse of the song itself while the other person sings it.
"Do you know?
You know I love you so,
You know I love you so"
