A boy was looking outside the car mirror. He was so excited as from afar, he could see the ferishwheel. That day, his uncle was taking him to the funfair.

"Are you excited, Ice?", he asked.

"Yes, Uncle Nath! I want to ride that big wheel. Can I?", he asked excitedly.

Nath smiled when he heard his 10 years old nephew's voice pitch higher than usual. He knew that Ice was so excited about going to the funfair.

"Sure!"

Ice woke up when his alarm rang. He sat then recalled his dream. He frowned. Suddenly, his door was knocked from the outside. He woke up and walk straight to his door to see Top's face, greets his morning.

"Ice! You haven't get ready yet? Quick! We have to pick Fire at the airport.", Top said as soon as Ice open the door.

Ice rolled his eyes and shook his head."Fire will arrive at two in the evening. It's still seven now. Hours to go. Chill, okay?"

"You didn't tell me."

"I've told you! I even text you last night. We'll leave at 1 o'clock.", Ice said. Top tried to remember.

"Right. Hehe.", he grinned. Ice shook his head.

"I'm gonna go shower first. Then we can have breakfast."

"Okay."

After taking shower, Ice made some fried rice for their breakfast. Both were now sitting on the table, enjoying their foods. Top was eating with gusto but not Ice. He was still thinking about his dream. He slightly sighed and Top noticed it.

"Hey, are you okay?", Top asked.

Ice nodded. "I'm okay. It's just, I dreamt about Uncle Nath last night."

"Really?", Top asked. Ice nodded while looking at his food.

"Ice.", Ice looked at him. "You didn't tried to speak again, right?", Top asked.

"Should I (try)?", Ice smirked.

"Don't you dare.", Top said a little upsets. Ice smiled.

"Don't worry. Maybe I just miss him.", Ice tell.

"Big brother Ice!"

Ice smiled as he saw Fire running towards him while calling his name. They hugs when Fire finally approach.

"I miss you, big brother.", Fire said.

"I miss you too."

"Ahem!", Top faking a cough, make the brothers looked at him.

"Hye.", Top greets him. Fire smile shyly and slightly wave his hand to Top.

"Let's go. Are you hungry? We can find a place to eat before heading home.", Ice asked.

"Yes! I'm so hungry.", Fire cried.

The three find a nearby restaurant to eat before driving back to Ice's parents' house. They ordered some Thai foods as Fire is craving for it. Two years living overseas, made Fire miss the taste of Thai.

"I'm using the toilet.", Ice excuses his self.

"Want me to come along?", Ice asked.

"No need. Sit here with Top."

"Oh, okay."

Ice left the two to the restroom. Silence between them. They didn't expect to be that awkward when the finally met face to face. No bickering or fighting like they always do on face time.

"So, how long will you stay here before going back to France?", Top tried to break the silence.

"A month.", Fire replied.

"Oh."

Silence. Top pretend to look around. Tried to get rid of his nervousness. Suddenly he heard a light chuckle, made Top stunned.

"I didn't expect we could be this awkward when we see each other.", Fire said.

"I didn't expect it too.", Top said and grin.

"Right. We always bickering to each other like we're an old married couple.", Fire said. Top rubbed his neck. Feeling shy.

They stop chatting when Ice came back. Ice frowned when looked at Top. He put his hand on Top's forehead.

"Are you sick? Your face is red.", Ice asked.

"N..no! It's just a little hot here.", Top denied.

He looked at Fire who's holding his laugh. He didn't know Fire could be a great tease. Top can't help but let out a smile.

Guess he fooled me.

After having their meal, they drove to their parents' house in Chiang Mai. When they arrived, Ice and Top stop by as Ice's mother asked them to have dinner before driving back to Bangkok.

Ice was helping Fire to unpack his belongings from the luggage. Meanwhile Top was only waiting at the living room.

"Big brother.", Fire suddenly spoke up. Ice looked at him, expecting him to continue. "When I was in France, you didn't tried to speak. Do you?"

Ice's hands stop. He glanced at his brother before shaking his head and curved a light smile.

"Top told you that I dreamt about Uncle Nath, right?", Ice said. Fire just nod with a worried face. Ice smiled and patted Fire's head.

"Don't worry. I stopped since highschool. About uncle Nath, I was just dreaming about my memories with him when I was little. Not about the incident.", Ice explained. "Maybe I'm just missing him. Don't you miss him too?", Ice asked. 

Fire slightly smiled."Of course I miss him. He's the only uncle that really close to us."

Fire stared at his brother. It has been almost 7 years since Ice can't talk due to the incident that happened years ago. Unfortunately, their uncle Nath was killed. Luckily, Ice was safe.

Ice was in comma for a week. All of them were relief but what confused them, Ice didn't talk any words when he's awake. Even when they told him that Nath died, he didn't give any response.

The doctor said, Ice was in trauma which cause he can't speak. They thought, Ice would get better and will speak again after some times. But Ice didn't.

He took almost 2 months and a half to fully recovered from the injury he get. His trauma and depressed had lessened. But he still can't talk.

Ice smiled. "Erm. Let's unpack your things then go downstairs. Top must be feeling alone right now."

"Let him be. Plus, he's not alone. Father is with him.", Fire said. Ice just shook his head.

"How's your relationship with Kon?", Ice asked. Fire halt.

"We broke up.", he replied.

"Already?", Ice give him a shocked face.

"Urm! He cheated on me. That asshole! I'll chocked him to death if he dare to show up in my face again.", Fire said while showing his anger.

Kon, a guy he met in France. They attend the same university but different course. They dated, when Kon asked him out. Kon is a nice guy, but one day he caught Kon went out with a France girl. Kon tried to explained that the girl is just a friend. But, what kind of friend that feed each other while eating and holdings hand also hugging like a couple in public? Ridiculous!

"Calm down.", Ice shook his head. Fire really can't control his emotion well if he's angry. Everything could turn upside down if he reached his limits.

"Stop talking about me. How 'bout you? Seeing someone right now?", Fire said, teasing him.

"Silly! No! Of course not!", Ice denied but in his head, someone suddenly showed up.

"Of course you're not seeing someone. You're too cold. Even an old lady afraid to get close to you.", Fire jokes.

"Crazy!", Ice Cursed.

"Kidding! Kidding!", Fire laughed. "But don't forget to tell me if there's anyone you're interested with. Or when someone is hitting on you. I would love to know who will be my phi-in-law. HAHAHAHA!"

Ps: Phi means senior or brother/sister

Ice pushed Fire's head lightly. His brother, when it comes to tease he can be the champion one. So good in teasing other people.

"If you found someone suitable for me, don't forget to tell me too. They might be your phi-in-law.", Ice get him back.

"I will, big brother. I'll find a handsome one for you. Want?"

"Silly!"

Both of them laughed so hard. It has been a while since they sit back and talk like this.
