Freshmens were excited.
There was rumor going around of the campus that everyone's favorite senior was back with his tutoring.
Another rumor stated that this particular senior's boyfriend had rushed back at the campus after he had heard about accident that had broke tutor's arm.
But the most hottest part of those rumors was, that this mysterious boyfriend was actually no one else than senior that every freshman both feared and respected; student 0206, mr. Arthit Rojnapat.
How had these two persons with very different personalities happened to fall in love with each other?
That was something what everyone pondered, but no one dared to ask.
Apparently world was really full of lollapaloozas.
But on the other hand, everyone had to admit that these two people balanced each others quite perfectly.
Approaching noises could be heard from the corridor, confirming to the students that their so much awaited tutor was almost there.
Everyone straightened their backs, excited to welcome older guy back.
But what they saw next, made full class gasp from shock.
Tutor was there as expected, but thing that surprised them the most, was that he wasn't alone...
Freshmens blinked stupidly.
Some mouths even hung open.
What was exactly going on?
Had they all accidentally fell asleep and now dreamt about the same thing?
Could it be some kind of mass psychosis?
Students stared as Prayut smiled widely to something that Kongpob had just said.
They stared as he nodded his head quickly before Kong bumped his fist softly to younger man's shoulder and Prayut continued his way towards empty seat on back row.
"Are you feeling okay?" Someone asked quietly as Prayut seated next to him.
"Huh? Yeah. Why?" Prayut blinked.
"I thought you couldn't stand at P'Kongpob"
"Ah... about that... well..." Prayut said smiling sheepishly, scratching back of his head.
"I'm curious about that too. What's with the sudden change? Did he save your life or something?" Another guy asked.
"I guess you could say that. He and bunch of weirdos helped me to see a light" Prayut said mysteriously.
"Huh?" His classmates asked confusedly.
"Forget it. It was nothing important. Let's just focus to our class"
Other two looked at each other and then shrugged nonchalantly, dropping the topic.
Kongpob dig out his tutoring equipments from his school bag and turned towards his class big smile on his face.
He was going to miss his boyfriend dearly but tutoring and school would keep him busy enough until they would meet again.
Besides, they could always talk to each other through a phone.
"Okay guys. Are you ready to learn?" He asked cheerfully and after getting approving cheers, he started his lesson.
*************
Bright was sitting in front of his desk at the work, clicking his pen deep in his thoughts.
There was slight crease on his forehead and his eyes were narrowed because of effort.
That kid, Prayut.
There was something curious about him.
That boy gave him a weird feeling.
Feeling, he had never had before.
It wasn't exactly unpleasant one though.
Just... weird.
It felt like there was electricity running through his veins instead of blood every time that guy was anywhere near at him.
And when he had kissed at him... holy crap.
He had been sure his shoes would fly out from his feets.
What exactly was wrong at him nowadays?
Was he getting sick?
And why had he been so disappointed when he had discovered that he and Prayut hadn't had sex after all?
He sighed heavily and messed his hair with his hands.
What did all of this mean?
Had he really turned out as gay?
Was that even a bad thing?
He definitely didn't have anything against love between his friend and that strange but very handsome junior who just wasn't had been willing to back down.
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..."
