As the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window, Arthit stirred from his slumber, feeling surprisingly well-rested despite the early hour. With a yawn, he stretched his arms above his head before reaching over to switch off the air conditioning, the cool morning air enveloping him in a refreshing embrace.

The house was freezing, although it was refreshing to the cold loving ice dragon Arthit, his heart went out to cold sensitive Kong. Just how selfless can one be?

Overwhelmed, Arthit tiptoed to the bedroom.

 Kongpob was lying curled in a corner, slightly shivering ,while Anurak was spread out like a starfish beside Kong with all the quilt bunched around him.

Careful not to wake Kongpob, Arthit quietly took out the automatic heating full size bolster pillow out of the sofa storage. He was comforted in the thought that Kong had not much changed. He still knew many facets of him. Like where would Kong prefer to keep which thing. Or that Kongpob's password for the house lock was Arthit's B'day and his combined. The thought made weird bubblings in his heart, he wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.

He had once bought that pillow for Kong as joke. Arthit switched on the button and let the heating gel get heated, after it was sufficiently warm, he  slippped it under Kongpob's hand. Feeling the heat, Kong snuggled against the warm pillow, smiling Arthit covered him with a duvet, quiet thick to make Kong warm.
............

After freshening up and stretching his wings with small flight, Arthit checked upon both omegas— both were still fast asleep — looking adorable in their respective quilt cocoons.

Heading to the kitchen, Arthit took out veggies and eggs from fridge for the breakfast he had planned .

First he  started preparing for Kongpob's favorite coffee, grinding the coffee beans while humming a tune under his breath as he worked.

Just as the aroma of freshly ground coffee began to fill the air, Anurak emerged from his room, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He blinked in surprise at the sight of Arthit bustling about the kitchen, gyrating his hips to some song.

Shit! he was late. The alpha had to enter in the Kitchen. Phi Theewa used to get furious if he had to do mundane omega works as cooking or cleaning!

" Alpha! " Anurak instantly ran to  Arthit and bowed at his feet " I am sorry for sleeping in. "

"Good morning, sleepyhead," Arthit greeted, trying to behave normally so as to not makre the poor omega feel awkward. "Sleeping at floor won't be much comfortable na. " He said, flashing Anurak a playful grin. 

"I am sorry alpha. I won't sleep till late next time."

"Its totally okay Anurak" Arthit released his alpha hormones to make Anurak feel comforted " and I hope you're hungry because breakfast is on its way."

Anurak's eyes widened in disbelief as he took in the scene before him. "Is this for real?" he asked incredulously. " Shouldn't  phi Kong or I make you breakfast? "

" Kongpob ? " Arthit chuckled " Kongpob should only be allowed in a kitchen when you want the kitchen demolished or when you want to swear off a particular dish. "

" What? He can't  cook ? "

"Nope" Arthit shook his head " Not even to save his own life "

" But he is so old. "

Arthit narrowed his eyes " Will you stop saying we are old! "

" But, I didn't say you are old! "

" You are saying Kong is old, I am three years older than him. "

" True.." Anurak nodded in understanding "You are not old then. You are ancient! "

" Come here you brat..."

Anurak and Arthit happily chased each other in kitchen for quite some time before they started preparing a small treat for their favourite omega.

............

After Arthit put the coffee ground to filtering machine and poured the boiling water, he asked Anurak to keep an eye on it and marched on his mission to wake up the sleepy bear.

" Kong...wake up." Arthit shook the omega.

Kong groaned " want to sleep..."

" Come on Kongpob....you will get late to work.."

" 5 minutes.. " Kong snuggled more around his warm pillow.

Arthit sighed, shaking his head at the adorable creature. He lifted up the omega along with the duvet he was wrapped in and took him out of the bedroom— and deposited him straight on to a chair in the kitchen.

" Come on ..Kongpob..wake up" Arthit urged but the omega rested his head against Arthit's stomach and promptly found a comfortable position to keep sleeping.

Arthit manipulated the temperature of his body, making his fingertips cold and then touching it to Kongpob's face.
The effect was totally opposite, frowning, Kong snuggled more in to Arthit's stomach rubbing his cheek on Arthit's T-shirt to chase the cold away.

" Anu bring the coffee please. " Arthit instructed. He simply put the coffee near Kong and let him get the scent. Kong moaned in appreciation. .

" Kongy... " Arthit urged, when Kong didn't respond, Arthit smirked "P'Thit..
" he called. Kong frowned, mumbling "call me Prathit "

" P'Thit" Arthit teased again.

Kong opened his eyes, resting his chin against Arthit, he looked at Arthit, eyes still heavily drooped with sleep " I hate you"

" It's not good to start your morning with a lie" Arthit retorted " Here...have your coffee " he handed Kong the coffee mug, one hand cautiously supporting the mug so Kongpob in his sleepiness won't spill the coffee on himself.

Kong took first sip of his coffee and smiled in appreciation. " Still hate you." He mumbled.

" Then you are still a liar" Arthit retorted.

Kong shrugged, sipping his morning coffee— just to his liking — rich in taste but not too sweet .

" Do you know why coffee is a good detective ? " Kong suddenly asked.

" Because it solve mugs" Arthit replied. Knowing Kongpob's love for coffee puns , he had several by heart.

"Now tell me, Why did the coffee file a police report?" Arthit asked.

Kongpob's forehead scrunched, his sleepy brain tried to search the answer but couldn't " I don't know. Tell me why.."

" Because it got mugged " Arthit replied.

"You stole mine. It's the same pun "

" It's not."

" Is so..." 

" No..."

" Is so..." Kong insisted " You were abysmal at it, how you are suddenly a pro? "

"I by hearted several while I was in Canada."  because I missed you. Arthit wanted to say but he held off.

Kong just made a face "   As if."

" You don't believe? Fine" Arthit was suddenly in competitive mode " Tell my why did the coffee bean kept checking his watch? "

" Why?"

" Because he was pressed for time"

Kong chuckled " that was funny ."

" Tell me what is a coffee's favourite spell? "

" Espresso patronum! " Kong shouted like a child, giggling.

" I know now, why you are so close to each other..." Anurak suddenly spoke up " You are brothers right? "

" What ? " Both Kong and Arthit narrowed their eyes at Anurak
" Absolutely  not.." They both spoke up again.  Making Anurak confused.

Seeing Arthit's narrowed eyes, the young omega actually took a step back in fear.

" Anu, come here" Kong instructed , the omega timidly traced his step to Kong's side, keeping maximum possible distance from Arthit.

" I think you should not  judge the situation so quickly. Especially not based on your past experiences. You are at a néw place with new norms. Take time to adjust and understand. "

Anurak nodded. Arthit missed Anurak's hair , teasing the kid he said " And stop treating me like I am dragon cruella or something. "

" Oh... he is absolute candy mush..." Kong retorted, smirking at Arthit.

" Now, that's too exaggerated. I can be a strict alpha when needed"

"I think you misunderstood." KOng explained " I was saying you are an absolute candy mush.... in the head" Kong completed his sentence, grinning mischievously.

" Did you just call me stupid, Kongpob Sutthiluck ? " Arthit fake scolded in Alpha voice. Anurak hid behind Kongpob who wasn't at all affected by Arthit's stern voice.

Kong batted his eyelids " I would never " he  kept his palm open on his chest, showing his fake sincerity.

" You are lucky I find your insults endearing. "

Kongpob made a face " You just have weird likes. "

" Awww.... I like you too Kongpob..." Arthit started tickling him.

" stop..." Kong giggled, " Anurak "KOng shouted for help.

Something triggered within Anurak and Arthit was suddenly in the air. 

"Hey, Anurak,,put me down" Arthit instructed.

Kong was now sobered up as Arthit was touching ceiling. "You should pull him down" Kong tenderly instructed " He was not actually harming me"

Anurak almost teared up "I don't know how phi"

"What?"Kong stared at him" You haven't come in to power yet?" 

Anurak shook his head."And that bastard mated you ?" Kong was enraged, air around him crackled dangerously, getting charged by electricity. Lights in the room started flickering.

"Kongpob..Calm down" Arthit commanded " If You loose control, Anurak's dragon will panic and it can harm him."

The air crackled more, little sparks visibly flying off Kongpob's body. 

"I am sorry for this Kongpob" Arthit engulfed Kong in an ice block , sudden temperature shock sobered him up. "Phi..."Kongpob's teeth chattered "Put me out"

"Yeah...give me a minute" Arthit was about to slide Kong to Bathroom and melt down the ice but before he could do anything , the two feeth thick ice block was fractured to smithreens. 

"Damn! you are strong" Kong was awestruck, though shivering.

Arthit ran for the dry cloth but Kong was all dry when he reached Kong , dry clothers and warmer in his hand.

"I think you need to train before you blow us away or something. "Arthit commented.

Anurak was horrified " I am sorry...I am not doing this on purpose."

"We know" Kong assured.

"Don't worry, nothing you can do will surpass Kongpob's Kitchen disaster."

"Kitchen disaster?" Anurak asked.

"Yeah! My mom swore off teaching me any cooking skills after that."

"So...the story goes like this." Arthit startd telling the tale while Kong went for quick freshening up.

When Kong had turned sixteen and Got his powers for thunder dragon, Arthit and Kong's family had gathered together for breakfast.

"As Arthit, Kong, Grace and Kongpob's mom was preparing breakfast, a sudden flash of lightning illuminated the kitchen, followed by a deafening boom of thunder. Kongpob's mom jumped in surprise, spilling whisked egg on counter.

"Whoa, what was that?" Grace exclaimed, wide-eyed.Arthit chuckled, unfazed by the sudden storm. "Just Kongpob having a little trouble controlling his powers," he explained, gesturing towards theside where Kongpob stood, looking sheepish, knife still in hand.Kongpob scratched the back of his head, a guilty expression on his face. "Sorry about that," he muttered, trying to suppress a grin.

But as the everyone sat down to enjoy their breakfast, another bolt of lightning struck nearby, causing the lights to flicker and the kitchen appliances to go haywire. The toaster started spewing smoke, and the microwave emitted strange sparks.Arthit's father sighed, shaking his head in amusement. "Looks like we won't need to buy crackers for firework this new year" he remarked, dodging a stray piece of toast that flew across the room.Kongpob winced, his cheeks turning slightly pink. "I am still gettin

g the hang of it," he muttered, attempting to use his powers to calm the storm outside.

But instead of calming the storm, Kongpob accidentally summoned a miniature tornado that swept through the kitchen, sending plates and utensils flying in all directions.Aroon ducked for cover, narrowly avoiding being hit by a flying spatula. "Um, maybe we should eat breakfast somewhere else?" Arthit's mom suggested, looking slightly frazzled.

Arthit couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. "Good idea," he agreed, grabbing the Nomyen and gesturing  Kongpob to follow him out of the kitchen. As they made their way to the living room, dodging stray bolts of lightning and gusts of wind."

"Our hostel warden would have beaten living daylight out of me if I did that" Anurak exclaimed.

Arthit was quick to get in protective mode "No one will do anything like that until we are here" Arthit vowed. 

"Its natural Anurak" Kong who had returned patted thw omega's back " it is out of our control. I had accidently zapped the teachers many times while submitting homeworks."

"Yeah...uncle Parin had to change TV ten times because Kongpob used to fry its ciruit while changing channels. He banned him touching any appliance till Kong got control of his powers."

"Yeah..Like you were any better!" Kong retorted " He once froze entire pool just before pool party. Whenever he used to comb his wet hair, water used to turn to ice on his head. even teachers used to ask him to chill their drinks for them" KOng grinned " once he froze the entire pipeline, it bursted, there was water every where. Aunty had built him a small pool out of the house to bathe."

"It was fun Kongpob until you zapped the shit out of my di-" 

"Arthit's cheeks flushed crimson as he realized his slip of the tongue. Kong raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Your what, Phi thit?" Kong teased, a smirk playing on his lips. "Your diary? Your dignity? Your dinner?"

Anurak's eyes widened at the implication, his curiosity piqued. "Your diary, Phi Arthit? Why would you bring a diary to bath? Is it a city trend? " 

He definitely couldn't say Kong zapped the shit out of  his dick which remained shriveled for days, making Arthit horrified of literally loosing his family jewel.

Arthit stammered, desperately searching for a plausible explanation. "N-no, not my diary. I meant... my... digital watch! Yes, my lucky watch. It was water proof. but not Kongpob proof.   Kongpob accidentally zapped them with his power burning it to crisp. "

Kong's smirk widened, clearly enjoying Arthit's flustered state. "Sure, phi Arthit," he said, his tone dripping with amusement. "We'll go with the 'lucky watch' story."

Arthit shot Kong a narrow look, who wisely chose not to press the matter further. "Right, well, what we mean to say Anu is that  we've all had our fair share of mishaps with our powers," he said diplomatically, attempting to diffuse the tension.

Arthit nodded gratefully, relieved to change the subject. "Definitely. It's all part of being a dragon, I suppose. And now that you both are sufficiently wide awake, take a bath and get ready. Breakfast will be waiting for you."

"You can use the bathroom in my bedroom" Kong instructed "Take anything you will need from my cupboard"

"But phi.."Anurak protested 

"Anything kid. choose whatever you like to wear. Alpha clothes , omega clothes, watch jwellery, anuthing.."

Anurak was calm outward but his eyes danced with excitement. He quickly ran to the bedroom. 

Kong stayed in the Kitchen, curiously eying the potential breakfast menu.

"The advice was for you too Kongpob" Arthit said "Go, take a bath and don't take too long, you have only forty minutes to report"

 "Is your watch working now phi?"Kongpob teased

Arthit raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. "Why? Were you planning on checking the time?" he teased back, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Kongpob chuckled, shaking his head. "I was just worried it might have frozen like everything else you touch," he quipped, a playful smirk dancing on his lips.

"I don't know, Kong," Arthit countered with a smirk. "But if it does malfunction, I might just have to borrow your lightning bolts to jump-start it."

Kongpob wasn't one to back down. "Be careful what you wish for, phi Arthit." He whispered in Arthit's ears " You might end up with a watch that runs faster than you can keep up with."

" Arthit chuckled. "Who needs a watch when I've got you to light up my life?" he teased, flashing Kongpob a playful grin.

Kongpob instantly blushed " I think I should go take a bath."

"Should I bring my digital watch to help you keep check of time Kongpob?" Arthit played reverse Uno.

"Sure, if you want to change you digital watch to stop watch" Kong retorted, running away to take bath before Arthit makes him resemble a tomato. 

Anurak now knew why he could hear smallest of whispers. The wind carried it to him. Hearing Arthit and Kong, he felt a pang of longing tugging at his heart. Despite the playful banter and teasing, he couldn't help but envy the bond between Arthit and Kongpob, wishing he could find someone who looked at him with the same adoration and affection as Arthit and Kong looked at each other. No matter what they said, Anurak's dragon instincts told him, Arthit and Kong were mates. If they were not, Anurak didn't know who could be called mates!

................................

Since, Anurak was just developing his new powers, Arthit and KOng thought it would be more suitable to take him along with them to office to keep better eye on him. 

In the daylight, everything in Kong and ARthit's world had Anurak Awestruck! The a,azing car and tall building, the sleek furnitures AND posh cabins, the fancy people and their fluent english. Kong and Arthit were totally different in workspace than he saw them at home. 

Kong showed Anurak how to play some games on mobile and the young omega was hooked.

...................

"Sit,Kongpob"Arthit requested when Kong was about to  go back after delivering an important file to Arthit.

"He got really attached to you" Arthit commented as soon as Kong sat down " More concerning thing is, you are as if not more attached to him even if not twenty hours had passed meeting him.

"what do you mean to say phi?" Kong asked.

"If you want to keep him Kongpob, only legal way is adoption."

"Single omega can not adopt phi."

"Neither can a single alpha " Arthit replied " But if we find a nominal (pretend) mate, we can.

"What do you mean to say?"

"I think you know what I want to say KOng. Even if we find another people there is no guarantee that they will treat Anu as you or I do, in our absence. "

"I know..but"

"Take your time KOng. Let me know till evening."

seeing Arthit's mind was set, Kong nodded and exited the office.
