Pai hated the radio silence. It had been almost a week since the races and neither Phayu nor Sky had contacted him. And he had been too scared to even call them back. There was this underlying sense of insecurity and abandonment in him, but he tried to put it aside. He knew that what had happened was not going to be erased from any of their memories any time soon. And he was guilty about it. He thought of the first time he had met Sky. He had been so impressed by the boy that he had pursued him. For the first time, Prapai had pursued someone. He had admitted to no one, including Sky, about his past with Phayu, but he was pretty sure that both Sky and Rain had a decent idea about it.

Phayu had always been his familiar, and then Sky had become his person. Rain had been somewhat of a wild card, but as he slowly got closer to Sky, he understood that Rain was an integral part of, not only Sky's life, but now also Phayu's life. He had tried his level best to get to know Rain well, and he had been surprised by him. It was like looking in the mirror when he looked at Rain. The boy was just like him, tactile, with the most adorable puppy ayes, and a killer pout. But Pai soon realised that Rain's pout was way more effective than his when it came to Sky or Phayu. But what had pulled Pai was the look in Rain's eyes. There was something just so intriguing about it that Pai would be left mesmerised. Don't get him wrong, Sky was the love of his life. There was no doubt in his head that Sky was his endgame, the one person who meant everything to him. But then there was little Rain. Something about him called out to a part of Pai that he wanted to lock away and throw the key.

And now, he was all the more ashamed. There had been trust in Rain's eyes, for all of them. Out of all of them, Rain was the only one who didn't have a harsh past, the only one who seemed to be surrounded by sunshine and rainbows, whose smile had the power to make the saddest person happy. The day he used to come to the races, there was another glow to the whole event, and his excitement at seeing Pai win always thrilled him. Of course his eyes would first look for Sky, but they would definitely linger a minute longer than necessary on Rain's happiness, getting something of an energy boost. After what had happened, he knew Phayu had finally confessed to Rain, but his expression on the day of the races had been dire. Rain had asked for time, and that's all they had gotten out of Phayu.

And Pai didn't blame him. If Rain walked away, Phayu would have the most to lose. He would have Sky, but Phayu would be left alone. And honestly, would he and Sky be able to make it as well? Would Sky be able to be happy if his best friend had lost his relationship? He sighed. It was almost 8. Namtan had left at 6, telling him that it was best he left only after finishing his work and that she would check it when she came in the next morning. At least the lack of calls and messages from Phayu and Sky ensured that he was getting his work done, as there was 0 distraction. He was almost done. Another 10 minutes, and then he could leave.

Suddenly, his phone rang. He was surprised to see it was Rain calling him. "Hello? Nong Rain?" he asked, the moment he picked up. "P'Pai, swasdi khap. Are you at work?" Rain asked. "Yes. Is anything the matter?" Pai asked, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible. "Phi, is it possible for us to meet? There is something I wish to discuss with you," Rain said. Pai hated how small he sounded, almost a shadow of the sunny boy he had seen all this while. "Of course Nong! Where are you? I will come to you," he said, wanting to make everything right. At least what was in his power.

"I am actually pretty near your condo. I was meeting some friends nearby, and I remembered Sky saying that you both live in this general area. Though I don't really remember the name of the condo," Rain sounded apologetic. "No worries Nong. It's Golden Nest Condominiums. You can get there. I should be there in around 20 minutes," Pai said, already wrapping up his work. "Please Phi, no need to hurry. It will take me a while to wrap up with my friends. I will be there in around half an hour?" Rain asked. "Okay Nong. I will see you soon," Pai said, quickly taking his keys and other paraphernalia before leaving the building. He wanted to try and get there before Rain got there so that he could compose himself. Rain had never visited the new condo, and Pai wanted to make sure it was clean enough for the unexpected guest.

Pai's phone rang around 10 minutes after he had reached home. "Phi, I am downstairs," Rain said. "It's the 17th floor. C'mon up, I will wait in the elevator lobby," Pai said. As soon as the doors opened, Pai's jaw dropped open. How the fuck had Phayu let him leave the house like this? And which fucking friends had he been meeting? Pai's eye twitched and his pulse throbbed at seeing what Rain was wearing. He was in a pair of denim shorts (which were not too short, mind you), which highlighted his mile long and slim legs, along with a crop top hoodie. What blew Pai's mind was the glint of something at Rain's bellybutton. "I didn't know you have a piercing Nong," Pai manged to speak past the lump in his throat. "Oh! This one?" Rain pointed towards it, lifting his top an bit more. "It's old Phi. I got it done when I was 16. Just after I met Sky," Rain said, shrugging. Pai stared, unable to utter another word.

"Umm... Phi? Are we going to talk here?" Rain asked, looking a bit perplexed at Pai's weird behaviour. Pai was almost ashamed. What the fuck was he thinking? He mentally shook his head, and gestured to Rain to come with him. "So which friends were you meeting?" Pai asked, trying to sound as casual as possible. "Some friends from school Phi. They were here from Korea for some work, and they reached out. It's been a while since I met them, so I thought, why not?" Rain said, shrugging. "You didn't meet them when you were in Korea?" Pai asked, regretting the question as soon as he asked it, hating how Rain's face fell. "I went there with a group. I could hardly leave them and go gallivanting on my own," Rain said, trying to sound chill and failing miserably.

But Pai could work with that. He just needed to profusely apolo... His thoughts trailed off as Rain hugged him from behind as soon as the door of the condo closed. "Rain?" he whispered. Rain immediately stepped back and Pai felt the loss of warmth at once. He turned around to look at Rain. "Rain?" he asked. "I am sorry Phi," Rain said, as he stepped away and walked towards the windows of the condo. "You have a wonderful view," he said, ignoring Pai. "Rain," Pai said, as he walked up to Rain. "I am sorry," he said, as Rain turned around and looked at him, his eyes laced with tears. "Rain, I am really sorry. For everything. For doing what I did, for allowing it to happen. I was the least drunk amongst all of us. I am sorry for hurting you this way, for making you doubt your boyfriend and your best friend," Pai said as he dropped on the couch with his head in his hands.

A few moments later, Pai was surprised when Rain stroked his head. He looked up to see the boy with a glass of water in his hands. "Have some Phi," Rain urged. Pai drank some and then kept the glass aside on the marble coffee table, where Rain was also sitting. Before he could pull his hands completely back, Rain took them in his and pulled them close. Pai looked at him and realised that Rain was thinking something, and what he had done was basically to give him a sense of grounding. "You know Phi, all my life, people took me for something of a fool, someone stupid," Rain began, still that unfocused look on his face. Pai must have made a sound of dissent, because Rain looked at him. "Let me finish Phi," he asked, a small plea in his voice. Pai nodded.

"My parents, teachers, friends, they all thought I was dumb and airheaded. I had trouble focusing on things and I used to get lost easily. Then I met a school senior, who recognised my problem during one of my tutoring sessions with her. Soo-ah noona was God sent Phi. She would make me feel comfortable in my own skin, telling me tips and techniques to focus. She was the first to tell me that I was brilliant, and I just needed to learn to use what I have. And they were not empty words. She guided me through the entire process. Then my parents got divorced and I came to Thailand with my mom. I would use noona's tricks to keep abreast of my coursework, knowing that systems in Thailand were different from those in Korea. And I had carte blanche to call noona whenever things became too much."

"Then I met Sky. He was so quiet, so shy. At first, I thought he was an introvert, but then I slowly started seeing his sassy side, and I realised that there was so much more hidden behind the façade. When he told me the whole story, the truth behind what had happened to him, with his ex, it felt like torture. I was glad he was out of it. He needed a friend, and I was happy to be his. Was it wrong of me to get feelings for my best friend? Yes, it was." Pai looked up sharply. He had always wondered if Rain and Sky had been more than friends, and he knew Phayu had thought it too. But Rain's still unfocused look kept him quiet. "I never acted upon it. He needed me to be his support, not add another burden on his feelings and emotions. Then I met P'Phayu." Pai noticed the way Rain softened, like as if he was melting at just the name. "He became my world, my first. I fell deeply in love with P'Phayu and I knew fully well that that love was unequivocally reciprocated."

"You know? I used to think that if P'Phayu and I became something, I would be taking your place in his life. Then I realised that you and he are much like Sky and I, but there was something that tied you together just like Sky and I were tied. Sky always thinks I am a bit silly, and I guess I am. Too loud, too bratty, sometimes just too much. Sky and P'Phayu both are able to control me, and I just let them. So I think half the time, they don't realise that I am there and enjoying it, enjoying their undivided attention." Suddenly Rain looked at Pai and smirked and Pai was enamoured. "But the truth is Phi, I see everything. I know everything. I knew from the moment I returned from Korea that something was wrong. You see Phi," Rain leaned forward till Pai's and his breaths mingled. "I know my men," he whispered against Pai's lips, before he took them in a mind-blowing kiss; open-mouthed, tongues duelling, no one ready to give up their supremacy.

Finally, both of them pulled back, panting, trying to get themselves in control. "Rain?" Pai murmured, foreheads touching, one hand holding the nape of Rain's neck, tangling in his hair and the other holding Rain's hand in his own. "Yes Phi?" Rain asked back, his laughter coming through in his tone. Pai looked up. "What was that? And Phayu and Sky?" Pai asked, looking worried. He had never imagined, in his wildest dreams, that he would be sitting here in front of Rain, who would kiss the bejesus out of him. "They know I am here," Rain said, throwing his head back and laughing. Pai's hands moved on their own volition. The hand on the nape came down lower as he placed his thumb on the pulse fluttering under Rain's throat. The other hand slid up his arm and towards Rain's waist and tugged him forward. Rain went willingly, almost in Pai's lap, straddling him perfectly. "What are you up to minx?" Pai asked, grinning.

"Phi! C'mon! Don't tell me you never thought of this possibility?" "Rain, I..," Pai trailed off. Had he? Had he ever considered it? Had it not flitted across his mind, when he had seen Rain for the first time? Then he had seen Sky, and everything had been forgotten. Afterwards, when they had all become comfortable, there had been double dates. Had he not seen Rain clinging to Phayu, and to Sky, and wanted that for himself? Pai looked at Rain when he felt the boy nudging him. "Phi? No answer?" he asked, sliding further into Pai's lap. Rain cupped Pai's face. "You can take time to think. I will leav..!" Pai pulled him back in when Rain made a motion to get up, pulling him hard into his body. Rain landed with an 'oof' on Pai's chest. "I have got you, and I am not letting you go," Pai said. Rain grinned beautifully, undulating, pulling out a groan from Pai.

"You are a minx!" Pai whispered, sliding his hands under Rain crop top, thumbing his nipples. Rain moaned and slotted his lips on Pai, his hands digging into the older man's shoulders, slightly rocking his hips. He pulled back, and Pai watched in amazement as he pulled off his top and bared himself to Pai. "Feel free Phi," Rain said, moving forward and sucking Pai's earlobe. Pai moaned at the sensation, his hips thrusting forward on their own accord. "Rain," groaned. "Sky?" he asked, his voice raspy with arousal. "He knows I am here. They both do. And are willing to join us, if you are okay to consider this possibility of four Phi," Rain said, looking at Pai, his hands cupping Pai's face and his thumbs stroking his cheekbones.

Pai stared at Rain. "What?" he asked, surprised. "Phi, I love all three of you. I knew what had happened behind my back. I also was angry, not because you guys did the deed, but because you did it without me!" Rain pouted. "I have always wanted this Phi, I was just a little scared about it. But I know that 3 out 4 are in. Would you really hold out on me? On us?" Rain asked, suddenly stroking Pai's dick through his clothes and then his own, moaning in Pai's ear. Pai jolted, his erection straining to be freed. "No. No, I will not hold back. I want you Rain! Now!" he said, pulling Rain closer, and rubbing himself on the younger boy. "Me alone first? Or with them?" Rain asked, thrilled at Pai's response. "They have both tasted you. It's my turn now," Pai growled. "Uh-oh! Not true Phi. Only P'Phayu has. I am the one who tasted Sky. I took what belonged to you. Why don't you punish me Phi?" Rain purred in delight as Pai threw him on the couch and pulled down his shorts.

Pai groaned and buried his head on Rain's neck when he realised that Rain had been commando under those shorts all this while. His body shuddered when Rain slipped his hands inside his shirt. When had he undone those buttons? Pai bent down and tongued Rain's nipples. Rain arched off the couch, as Pai's hands continued their downward search, until he reached the prize he was looking for, Rain's cock. Pai moaned on Rain's sternum when he noticed how wet Rain's cock already was. Rain arched, groaning, as the vibrations of Pai's moans made him feel more desperate. He knew that unlike with Phayu, Pai was not likely to be a dom. He would be more the kind of lover who would want to please his partner, and Rain planned to take complete advantage of that.

"Phi!" he gasped as Pai held him down and licked the pre-cum off the folds of his cock. Rain thrust his hips upwards, pushing his hands into Pai's hair and tugging at it. Pai lifted his head to look at Rain. "Tell me what you want baby!" he said as he laved at the ring on Rain's bellybutton, tugging it, causing mewling cries to escape Rain. "Touch me," Rain melted into Pai's touch. Pai had never felt someone give so much of themselves, so freely to him. Sky was an amazing lover, but it was hard for him to be completely pliant for Pai, and Pai never forced him. But here was Rain, who was like wet clay, and Pai could mould him the way he wanted. Pai stroked Rain's cock a couple of times, squeezing his balls lightly. Rain arched, and Pai took him into his mouth. He sucked and laved, moving his tongue, tracing each vein on Rain's erect cock. He kept his eyes on Rain's face and his ears open for every single sound that Rain made.

The boy was loud, his moans lewd and filthy and Pai knew the exact moment Rain was going to cum. He tightened his hold on Rain's already tightening balls, lightly pressing them as Rain erupted into his mouth, a seemingly endless orgasm. Pai could feel his trousers straining with his own hard-on as he swallowed Rain completely, not wasting a single drop. He looked at how Rain lay, languid and blissed out before he stood up, deciding to use the bathroom to relieve himself. But at his movement, Rain hooked his legs on Pai's hips and licked his lips. Pai bucked. Rain slid off the couch, pushing Pai into it, unbuckling his belt and unzipping him, letting his erection free. Pai moaned at the sensation of the cool air on his turgid cock, the veins throbbing for respite. Rain licked each vein individually, and then stood up.

"Phi, do you trust me?" he asked. Pai nodded. "Could you close your eyes?" Rain asked. Pai closed it immediately. Rain used Pai's shirt to blindfold him. he was gentle, not wanting to hurt Pai. "Lube phi?" he asked. "2nd drawer of the coffee table," Pai rasped out. Rain smirked. Somehow, he had known that. His Phis were not so different after all. Rain took the lube, and he found condoms as well. He rolled on condoms on both of them and lubed them up. He climbed on Pai, back to him, and took Pai's hands and placed them on his hips. He then lowered himself on Pai's dick, his hole tightening at the intrusion as he slowly sank deeper down, moaning all the time. Pai thrashed his head from side to side, the sensations overwhelming him, drowning him in pleasure. Rain started moving, forcing Pai to thrust into him, using Pai's hands on his hips as a guide.

Pai surged forward, sitting up straighter, using one hand to lock Rain's upper body to himself and the other hand to push his hips lower. He pistoned into Rain, both of them chasing completion. Pai felt the jolt that went through Rain each time Pai hit his prostrate. "I am so close baby!" he moaned. "Me too Phi! Come with me! Please!" he moaned, as Pai erupted under him, and Rain shouted out his own completion. Rain sagged back. It seemed like his possibility of four was finally coming true!
