Arthit didn't came to pick up Kong from Airport. Kong ignored it thinking Arthit may be busy, he went to Chanagun residence to meet P'Sam first since Suzy had informed him of a meeting.

He texted Arthit to inform him of his arrival and slept at Chanagun residence after a short meeting with P'Sam.

Kong was surprised to see no reply from Arthit even after 5 hours.

When Kong reached his dorm room, he saw Arthit cocooned in a blanket ,his face flushed, eyes rimmed red and all his gang surrounding him doing tasks he was ordering. Arthit was sick. Kong put a hand on Arthit's forehead to check the tent - he had high fever.

" Since when? " He asked his friends.

" Yesterday. It's viral fever. Should come down by tomorrow" Prem answered.

" Okay. You can rest. You have classes tomorrow. I will look after him." Kong offered.

" Are you sure? He is really annoying, whiny and clingy when sick" Bright supplied.

" Thank you Ai Saat" Arthit remarked in weak voice.

"It's okay. I am sure I can manage. " Kong assured. After dinner Arthit's friend went to their respective rooms.

Kong sat on a chair besides Arthit's bed telling Arthit about his experience at conference and his impression of Switzerland. Arthit was listening carefully, smiling all the while. He didn't throw any sick person tantrums.

Kong thought Arthit's friend were exaggerating as always when they said Arthit was whiny, annoying and clingy when sick. He was about to be proved wrong.

Kong took to reading a book when Arthit closed his eyes to sleep, after awhile Arthit called his attention

" Ai Kong I can't sleep. "

" close your eyes and count sheeps it will make you sleepy" Kong replied nose still planted in book he was reading.

" okay"

Arthit opened his eyes after some time
" Ai Kong I can't sleep."

Kong was at interesting scene in the book , he just gave same advice absent minded. " Count sheeps, it will-"

" I counted 10000 sheeps, sold them, became rich and I still can't fucking sleep. " Arthit yelled frustrated

Kong put the book aside and gave the attention the bedridden person wanted
" Why can't you sleep?"

" I want to see the stars. Let's go to rooftop."

" you have fever Arthit. You can see the stars from window. Let me open it " Kong opened Arthit's beside window so he will be able to see night sky while sitting against wall.

" I can't sit for a long time, I am sick Kongpob and it's not same as watching stars from rooftop."

" Arthit we are not going there. You are - " Arthit didn't let Kong finish.

" You didn't let me eat spicy, didn't let me see the stars. You aren't even agreeing to date me..... I'm -" Kong interrupted Arthit

" What is the connection between spicy noodles, star gazing and me dating you. I'm not taking you to rooftop. Just sleep"

" There is great connection Kongpob. I want to eat spicy noodles under night sky with you."

" Fine let's do that later when you get well"

" On our first date..."

"There's no date happening between you and me anytime soon.Now tell me the real reason for which you are whining like a kid" Kong admonished him.

Arthit heaved a long sigh in dilema
" Fine. I'll tell you. My Mae always sits beside me and hold my hand while running her fingers through my hair whenever I'm sick and she tells me stories too until I fall asleep."

Kong chuckled " So basically you are saying you want to be put to bed like a five year old?"

" Go to hell. I hate you." Arthit turned facing towards wall."

" Arthit-"

" I'm sulking right now.... Go back to reading your book."

" Okay, I am not making fun of you Arthit, if anything I'm envious of you. Not everyone is lucky enough to have their Mae around."

" What happened? "

" Car accident. Okay, come on I'm tired, let's sleep." Kong slid in bed and laid beside Arthit on his side. Turning on his side he let his fingers play with soft strands of black hairs on Arthit's head.

Arthit closed his eyes, he knew Kong wouldn't like the topic to be broached again. So Arthit let it slide.

He didn't know what to say to comfort Kong or how to react but he knows I'm sorry is not one of the things to say, not when the person concerned is Kong. It was first time Kong had volunteered any personal information besides his love about binary star.

After a while Arthit opened his eyes to watch Kong laying beside him
" Ai Kong" he called him softly.

"Hmm" kong replied still keeping his eyes closed

"I'm here for you" Arthit placed his hand on Kong's shoulder.

Kong opened his eyes and looked right in to Arthit's eyes " I know." Kong smiled.

Arthit smiled back in contentment.

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

Two weeks later

Kongpob was reading on his bed in dorm room when Prem barged in with a box in his hand yelling for Arthit
" Ai Saat, didn't I say come get your parcel."

" He is not in room. You can keep it on his bed, I'll tell him."

Prem did as told and was about to go back when Arthit came in " Thank you for bringing it Ai Prem. Security guard told me you already took the parcel when I reached there."

Arthit sat on his bed eagerly unwrapping the box wrapped in golden paper.

" Ai Arthit I think you should be careful, it was still ok till notes and letters but this secret admirer is now sending you gifts too. It's not safe. By the way he sounds creepy.... Who writes ' you hit me like a heart attack' at this age . We are not 14 anymore. " Prem gave his two cents while watching Kong carefully.

Arthit ignored Prem and opened the box clapping in excitement. "Wow, I think he or she really loves me " Arthit exclaimed looking at the pink note glued atop the box of his favourite chocolate.

" Yeah, sent you gifts from ICU after you hit him with heart attack, must be true love " Kong mumbled.

" You're just jealous Kong" Arthit ignored him and read the note.

' You are my waking thought,
my sweet dream
And everything in between.'

" Wow, I'm impressed." Arthit smiled.

" It's directly copy pasted from internet and is total garbage. I can write you ten like this and that too original" Kong scoffed.

" News flash you didn't wrote a single one. But he did even if it's copied from internet I like it. It's the thought that matters Kongpob." Arthit said disliking the idea of Kong mocking about his secret admirer.

As Arthit opened the box of chocolate and unwrapped one to pop in his mouth Kongpob snatched it and chucked the whole box straight out of the window.

Arthit froze in shock before yelling in horror " Ai Saat that was Ferrero Rocher- my favourite chocolate in the world that you just threw out of the window."

" You are not eating anything sent by a psycho that writes you hit him like heart attack. I'm going out in evening , I'll buy you some then, if you want to eat it." Kong told him.

" I hate you officially now, throwing away chocolates is a grave sin Kongpob! "

" I'm getting you a box ain't I?" Kong tried to reason unaware that it's useless to reason with Arthit if it comes to chocolate.

"Then I would have had two boxes of chocolates if you didn't throw one outside." Arthit countered.

Kongpob sighed "Fine. I'll buy you two boxes."

" But then that would have been three boxes for me if you just didn't chuck one out of the window..." Arthit argued.

" Arthit-..."

Prem was watching whole fiasco silently. " Are you sure you two aren't dating ?" He asked.

" No.. Ai Saat. "

" No!!!!!!"

Arthit and Kong yelled at the same time.

..........
Two days later

Arthit and Kongpob were lying under the night sky talking about nothing in particular when Arthit gently broached the topic..

" Ai Kong ...."

" Hmm...."

" Why are you so adamant on not dating ? "

" I can't afford it right now."

" I have extra 2000 baht remember? I think we can manage at least two or three dates. "

" There's no dating scene happening between you and me anytime Arthit. "

" Think again Kongpob, you will regret if someone else catches my eye. You won't get another one like me." Arthit winked at him.

" Be serious Arthit"

" What if I am?" Arthit countered raising one perfect brow.

"Fine. Tell me why should I date you? "

Arthit replied in a blink of an eye " Because I'm handsome, smart, genius -all in one. Where will you get such whole package Kongpob ?"

Kong sighed. He totally expected this answer " See, you aren't serious, just drop this Arthit."

" What problem do you have Ai saat ? I told you I'll manage everything, it won't cost us much. I won't waste your study time. I'm not clingy. Basically I'm volunteering to be served on a golden platter, what problem do you have Kongpob? Is it because I'm a man?" Kong intervened Arthit's rant

" You know it's not that. You just want to prove a point Arthit. You are not serious about it. Besides why do you want me to date so badly that you are even volunteering yourself-"

" I didn't like seeing fear in your eyes that day. I don't want to see it ever if I could help it. " Kongpob was surprised and shocked simultaneously hearing this declaration, he can't let Arthit be suspicious about his behaviour and get involved in his business, better to throw him out of loop

" I fear sex too, are you volunteering yourself?" He asked calmly.

Arthit's eyes widened in shock at such statement
"Don't spout shit Kongpob"

" Same to you Arthit"

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

Two weeks later

Arthit was just arranging the flowers when Kong entered the room.

" Care to tell me why are you growing garden in our room? "

" Your sarcasm is getting dull Kong, by the way this is my advance birthday gift from my admirer.My admirer is awesome they know I like flowers. Aren't they beautiful? " Arthit asked moving his fingertips over a rose.

Their room was filled with different assortment of roses, Kong gritted his teeth at the site " We are throwing it out...... now."

" This is my bday gift. Kong don't you dare .... Plz ... I won't talk to you... Don't Kongpob I'm telling you... Don't you dare- " Arthit's pleadings or warnings had no effect on Kong.

" It's invitation to mosquitoes. I don't want to get dengue or maleria because of your psycho lover who wants to turn my room in a green house of flowers" Kong said chucking every bouquet in a big plastic bag and without wasting a second dumped it in the dustbin.

" Aren't you being over dramatic. This was my birthday gift damn it. " Arthit replied hurt.

" Arthit, I'll "

" Yeah... I know you'll get me 100 such bouquets.... May be even better than these. But tell me Kong why won't they be invitation to mosquitoes if these ones were? Because you will buy them?"

" Arthit -"

" Don't ... I don't want to talk Kongpob. One of them was sent by my mom because I like roses. Get your bearing Kongpob you don't like me, you don't want others to like me , what do you want then ? I am going out, freely throw out every other gift that I'll receive too. Because they won't be bought by you so they deserve to go straight in dustbin right? I'm giving you permission. Throw everything away.... ....It's not your fault anyway...it's mine. I started the whole fiasco after getting idea after the finding anonymous note in my book . I sent myself the chocolate Box to see how you would react. Because I didn't wanted to lose you as friend if you didn't feel same.Because I didn't believed even if you said gazillion times that we can never date in any scenario. I was an idiot to think you repeatedly rejected thinking I'm not serious. It's all my fault Kongpob because I am the idiot that fell in love with you. I'm at fault not you..... Just chuck away everything.... " Arthit barged out of the room without listening to anything Kong had to say.
