"Swadee khub luk."
"Wadee pa." Phuwin hit the breaks under the red light.
"It's been a long time luk, when are you coming home? Your mae misses you!" why he can't treat nong like this too ? With the same loving tone? Phuwin tapped the wheel nervously.
"Pa, what happened with Gemini today?"
It was silent for a few seconds.
"Oh, he snitched on me ? He isn't strong enough to take it like a man ? What a disappointment I have made" Phuwin felt his blood boiling, hearing his father chuckle.
"A disappointment? He is anything but that pa! He did everything to please you and you are picking on him every time, what's wrong with you guys? If anyone disappointed you , that would be me , because I choose myself over your happiness "

"You don't need to take the blame , he chose the company himself and he should know better"

"Pa, don't mess with him again, leave him alone, he is young, don't put everything on his account ."

"I know how to treat him, save your lectures for him Phuwin, I am gonna send him abroad and get rid of that twink soon, it's time I should give him a lesson." Phuwin gripped the wheel harshly.
"Enough pa, don't you dare touch my nong, I am done keeping quiet."

"Stay in your lane luk, and what would you do to help him anyways." his father was laughing.

"I will not help him....I will burn the damn empire you care about so much ,than your own son, do you really think I don't know about your drug buisness pa? The way you killed Phi Niwat? Pa, go and hurt Gemini once again, I will make sure you will wake up with handcuffs next day."
Phuwin cut the call throwing the phone onto his lap.

"No offence, but he really is ready to ruin his own blood over a business." Satang remarked with fearful eyes from the passenger seat.
"Don't worry, I won't let him do that again." Phuwin hit the paddle speeding down the street. The most dangerous is always the quiet one.

......

It was 2am. Fourth was lying on the sofa. He was too dizzy after all the crying and over thinking. "What if something happened like last time..." fourth started crying again.
Phuwin and Satang were exhausted too. They couldn't help but be worried about both of them. Fourth was looking like a lifeless corpse in front of them. They shared the same thought, it was terrifying how much they love each other.

With a faint twist , front door opened. They met the most horrible looking Gemini they have ever seen, hovering in front of the door. He was soaked, shirt sticking to his skin, hair all messy pale like a candle. His face made fourth cry, swollen cheeks, drowsy eyes were buried between the hundreds of heavy emotional wrinkles.

"Glad you are back nong gem, we were waiting for you, take a good rest na, let's talk tomorrow." Phuwin patted his back masking all the remorse, guilt and pain. Inquiring him was useless for now , it will deepen the wound.
"Gemini, it was a miserable day, let's have lunch tomorrow, take it easy , good night nong fourth." Satang managed a smile. Both of them decided to leave for the better. Gemini deserves a rest more than anything.

Once their warm living room, was now filled with a chilly thick fog. Fourth crushed his eyes from the back of his hands , trying to stop the tears so he could get a better view of his phi. He clenched his teeth, not to make a sound. Pressing himself forward, he went towards Gemini, trying his best to smile .

Slowly he took one of Gemini's hands between his fingers, gradually brushing the soaked skin, leading him towards their bed room. Gemini let him.
"First take a shower phi, I will make some warm coffee for you." Fourth gently placed a towel on Gemini's shoulder and pointed him towards the bathroom. He didn't utter a single word . "I won't give up on you."fourth wiped his tears ,muttering to himself staring at the back of the leaving figure of Gemini.

Gemini took deer steps towards their bed room. Fourth made him sit on their bed giving him his coffee. He took the towel from Gemini and started drying off his hair,standing so close to him, feeling his lover's body warmth he missed for the whole day. Little boy's eyes were hurting after all, with all the tears, they haven't stopped yet. Gemini was silent, drowning in his own thoughts.

"Phi Gem, you must be hungry right, you can't sleep with an empty stomach, let me make something for you na, I will be quick."
"Fourth." Fourth felt the tight grip on his wrist, stopping him from going anywhere.
"Don't leave...please." Gemini pullled him to his front, locking his hands on his waist. His eyes looked so exhausted , but for fourth they carried the same warmth. Taking his beautiful boy's comforting view for a couple of seconds , he rested his head on Fourth's tummy. He was desperate to ease his numbness , basking in the soothing scent of his lover .
Fourth played with the soft locks of his boyfriend  letting his presence deliver the message that he was not alone. Never. His fourth will be there for him. Always .
Fourth felt his t-shirt getting soaked eventually.
"I am sorry fourth." he tightened his hands on fourth's waist.
"I am sorry"
"I am really sorry."
Fourth swallowed his sobs. Bending over and placing a kiss on his head. He caressed his phi's neck with a featherly touch. Giving him time to release all the pent up emotions . They were too big, even for his phi Gemini.
Slowly Gemini raised his head from Fourth's belly, staring at him with tear stained eyes, "I am sorry rak, I am really sorry na, I didn't want to make you worried, but I-" his boyfriend's voice cracked.
Fourth cupped Gemini's cheeks, wiping off the tear marks. Looking at him so lovingly, like he was his whole world . Well he was indeed his whole universe .

" Shhhhh, it's okay, take your time my Gemini....it's okay to feel bad, it's okay to feel what you feel, I am here, I will always be here." Gemini closed his eyes to feel the faulty touch of Fourth's kiss on his forehead.

"I love you so much phi Gemini, so so much, you are my wish , my dream and my everything ." Fourth wiped the tears in both of their eyes .

"Because I love you, I want to be by your side in everything, hug you, cuddle you, kiss you, feel you every moment .
But I want to hold your hand on your bad days too ,you will rest your head on my lap and tell me about your bad days , I will play with your hair just like this ,we can cry together and later when you calm down , I will make your favorite dessert and feed you .
I want you to soak my clothes with your tears , I want you to use me as your pillow in your bad days , knowing that I am the one who is wiping your tears , I will be less worried , you will never be alone , because I am not going to leave you ." Fourth pinched Gemini's cheek giving his bright smile . But it looked more mesmerizing, his baby was smiling through tears .

"I love you so much nhoo."Gemini was a crying mess . For the first time he wasn't ashamed to cry. Instead he felt good to let everything out .
" I love you more phi. " Fourth kissed his lover's forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, lips, every corner he could find. Every inch of him is loved by him. His fourth .
