Kongpob climbed the stairs with the half drunk merman in his arms, slobbering kisses along the column of his neck, nuzzling his nose in to the crook of Kongpob's neck, making him feel all those emotions that he had no business feeling towards a supernatural creature.

" Master" Arthit suddnly called, big doe eyes trained filled to the brim with childish excitement. " Do you want to know a secret ? "

The low conspiring tone Arthit was using, almost sent Kong wheezing but already lost to the charm of the milk-skin merprince in his arms, he nodded enthusiasticly – ready to entertain merman's whims.

Arthit just ran his nose along Kongpob's collarbone, taking in lungful of the human scent and hummed in approval before retreating from his shoulder and craning his neck to train those beautiful black orbs at Singto
" Arthit will tell you but don't  tell anyone else. Okay ? "

Kong didn't have to think " Okay khrap. " he immediately  replied.

Recieving promise of secrecy Arthit smiled in satisfaction. Circling his arms around Kongpob's neck, Arthit hoisted himself a little higher, enough to reach Kongpob's ear.

" On a full moon night " Arthit whispered " You can see angels.🧚‍♂️ ...sshhh🤫"

" Angels ? " Kong laughed.

" Shhh...🤫😑" Arthit shushed him, a little angry at master's stupidness. " Its secret , don't say it loudly😑. Others will listen. " Arthit lowered his voice to a whisper " It is real. Arthit has seen angel. 😍"

" Oho ! " Kongpob whistled in appreciation and Arthit preened, proudly puffing his chest.

" When good people are sad and lonely, Angel come at full moon night to make them happy. Arthit was five and he was very sad, crying on the rooftop of our palace. 😔. Arthit had no mer playmates  and everyone called Arthit dumb. Arthit sat on his roof asking, he was crying and asking moon goddess to send him good mer playmates.   "

" Then, moon goddess appearead ? "

" No, angel came " Arthit replied in a duh tone. "Seriously! " Arthit scoffed " What do they teach you at these  human schools ? Do you think goddess have no work to do ? Other than going to sad, crying good people ? 😑😑"

Seeing his master pouting after being chided, Arthit felt bad theefore he softened his tone  " Gods are very busy Kongpob , therefore they send angels 😇. "

" How was angel ? "

" like Ai Knot . "

" Huh ? "

" Yes. Angel comes in the form of people you know or won't  you be scared of them ? 🙄"

" I suppose  so 😅"

Arthit continued, excited to tell his tale " The angel gave Arthit his sword and asked Arthit to not tell anyone where the sword came from and keep it hidden. He said it was Arthit's  own sword given to him to keep safe and told him that he should not cry. He is one of the moongoddess's faviourite person🥰. He also told Arthit a secret. 😎"

" what secret khrap ? " Kong asked. Although he had no faith in magic or angels, he had started to accept the fact that there are creatures not known to human kind .

Arthit worried his lips, definetely  having an internal conflict.

" Arthit thinks , although it is super secret, Arthit can tell master🤗. Angel said to take care of P'Kit because P'Kot is little bit stupid 🤭"

" Angel told you that your elder brother is stupid 😄? "

"No, Arthit is telling you. Because you don't  know P'Kit then how will you know he is stupid ? 😒😒"

" you have a point there 😅"

" Arthit doesn't  talk nonsense, there's  always point to it. Now, listen silently master . Don't  interrupt Arthit — "

" Khrap— "

" 😑😑...what did Arthit say about interruption ? " seeing Kongpob zipping his mouth shut , Arthit continued " So, angel said that Arthit should never tell anyone of this or he will have to face big punishments. " Arthit again lowered his voice to mere whisper

" Angel said that Arthit is very very special and he should remain as he is . Arthit was an old soul and in this life he destined to visit earth and meet an angel who will help Arthit fulfill his destiny. Arthit must visit earth by his fourteenth year despite the obstcles he will face, it was very very important for Earth held that what  Arthit's  heart desires the most. "

Kong did not know  what he was hoping for to take shape. His heart pounded painfully in his chest.
" What do you think it would be ? Do you think you found what your heart desires the most ? "

" Yes... " Arthit replied " Chicken 😍 "

" ....!..." Kongpob was stunned would not be an understatement by any means.
" So, you think you were destined to eat chicken 🙄  ? And moon goddess sent an angel to let you know of this invaluable fact ? "

"Sarcasm is lowest form of wit, master 😒😒. " Arthit deadpanned " and what do you know about destiny ? 😌"

Kongpob didn't grace the question with an answer " Okay. We have reached. Let me just change clothes then we will eat dinner. Sounds okay ? "

Merman smiled. " Arthit wants clothes master 😍"

" Oh ! Okay. How about we pook for clothes after I change in to dry clothes ? "

" Arthit wants master's  clothes. Master smells good. 😍" Arthit replied instantly and Kongpob couldn't  help the red rising on his cheeks.

" But, Arthit ... if you wear clothes in to bathtub they will be drenched na..."

" But Arthit needs water master ☹..."

" Okay. You rest here" Kong settled Arthit in to the bathtub " I will bring you a shirt. " Kong left to change after making sure Arthit was well settled in to the bathtub.

🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️

After changing in to dry clothes, Kong helped Arthit wear one of his white shirts that did nothing to cover but only stuck to Arthit's  skin seductively. Kong had hard time averting his eyes from the visual treat Arthit was providing unconciously.

Kong could do nothing since it was the  Arthit chose himself after rejecting 7 other colours and that too he wore with all buttons undone .

" Arthit looks good master ? 🤗"

Kong gulped " Very handsome. "
Come to think of it . Something was different today.

Arthit looked etheral as always. But, today, he was glowing — literally. Kong was surprised to find himself being mesmerised, rather than freaking out.

He has always liked Arthit's tail, the vivid colours shining brightly,  the lights overhead reflecting from the scales, creating pretty blue - green and midnight blue patterns in bathwater.

Arthit caught on Kong's fascinated gaze " U like Arthit's tail ? "

" I like everything about you. " Kong blanched the very next second. He didn't  mean to say it out loud.

Something was definetely  different today.

" Arthit likes everything about master too🤗. Except the sunken cheeks . And dull eyes and thin body and sad smile. "

Kong chuckled " U don't  like my eyes, cheeks and body . And u say u like me. What's remaining Arthit ? "

" Body is not everything , master. Arthit likes when master smile. When master is not with Arthit, his eyes qre always in search of something . Master needs lots of food and love and a mate . "

Kong smiled at merman's reasoning.
" We have food. You give me love . I don't need anything else, merman. "

" But, Arthit will not always be here, master " 😔

It stung . Badly.

Bitter reminder that Kong was seeking comfort in transitory things.

The man that had xome to mean a lot to him , will never feel tge same about him. Their worlds were too far apart and he could never fill the gap even if he desperately wanted so.

He didn't  know his eyes watered, he didn't  know of the stray tear carving its path down the slope of his cheek until a cold hand wiped it up.

" Don't  be sad master. Arthit will take u to his home. And Arthit will visit you every full moon. "

" Like ur guardian angel ? "

Kong chuckled through tears, the pure worry in Arthit's  eyes lightened his heart . The innocent promise brightened his mood further
 
" Yes. Arthit will be ur personal angel without wings 😇. "

" You already are.😊" Again the words he didn't  mean to say out loud.

If Kong believed in enchantment , he would say he was under one.

High up above in the sky , the moon goddess was smiling and so were the angels.

The love story that spanned the several centuries , weavibg its way through tendrils of time ... seems to be reachibg to its peak.

Tonight was the turning point — the night that will decide fate of four people .

" So... what does Arthit likes most ? Chocolava cupcakes or kisses ? " Kongpob asked, gazing fondly at the merman finishing off last morsels of delicious treat.

Arthit raised his head, training his eyes at Kongpob, a cheeky smile adorned his lips... " cake with looove 😍"

" sneaky merman 😄" Kong chuckled, no heat in his words. " would you like another ? " Kong pointed at the box full of various different flavours of cupcake , something he picked up on whim.

" Arthit is full master 🙃... "

" What did I tell u about calling me master, Arthit 😑? "

" But, Arthit like calling Kongpob his master😊🙃." Arthit pouted. Kongpob's  ears coloured at the oblivious double entendré in merman's  words.
"Master protects Arthit, teaches Arthit... satisfies his hunger —"

" Stop..stop... enough — " Kongpob couldn't  restrain colour rising to his cheeks.

" But, Master always feeds Arthit  — "bKongob cut off Arthit rant.

" Sometimes is okay, Arthit . Do not call me a master all the times. "

" okay master. " Arthit replied absent mindedly.

" Master — "

Kongpob could swear he wanted to murder someone but as soon as Arthit's large puppy eyes fell on him, he was soft as a mush .

" Yes, Arthit — "

" Arthit's  nipple feels funny 😄 since he is wearing this clothes." Arthit poked the hqrd nubs and giggled to himself " It feels very funny. Good kind of funny. Arthit want it more.  Do you feel same,master ? "

" Excuse me . You are not supposed to say these things Arthit — "

" Why not master ? "

" Some things are private, Arthit. We should deal it in private. "

" There is nothing private between a master and a pet. 😑"

" There is Arthit. "

"Fine 😤. Teach Arthit how to deal with it in private ? "

" ...!.. Arthit" Kongpob yelled in high pitched voice " I can't  "

" Why not ? It is ur duty. "

" Its not. "

"  It is. You promised to always take care of Arthit and be there for Arthit. Now, you must take care of Arthit 🥺... like a good master. "

" Give it time, it will subside " Kong forced the words "Good Night , Arthit " and practically ran out of the bathroom and fell face first on his bed.

" Take care of Arthit . "

Such innocent words. But Kongpob's mind processed it differently. Kkngpob wondered if it had been too long since he last got laid. To even think of behavibg like a sex deprived teenager was shameful ... behaving like one — utterly mortifying !

" Arthit is sulking at master. No love for master . " he heard Arthit's  loud exclaimation  and willed himself to still lay on bed although all he wanted was to bolt out pf the room and straight in to the bathroom .

Think of bottom half. He has a freaking tail for bottom. Kong yelled internally but it didn't  help. His brain apparently didn't  pay heed to Arthit's  southern limbs – or its lack thereof.

There is something going on . Since the moment he has laid his eyes on Arthit tonight, he is feeling different somehow. Good type of different . Tinge of sadness. Undeniable pull to the merman. And that shirt — his own shirt sticking obscenely to merman's  torso. The twin hard nubs peaking through like a —

Stop ! He doesn't  wanna go down that lane. It was so wrong of having such thoughts towards a person who didn't even grasped half the meanings of all the actions he did.

He had no qualms peeking at you showering though ! And not to forget asking to flash ur penis, almost on a daily basis —

Thats was for research purposes.

If u say so 🤷.

Since the day Arthit had put a feet — tail in his bathtub , he had been successful drawing Kong's protective instincts to the forefront, despite former's reservations. But, tonight , Arthut was like a magnet Kong was being pulled in to —like a dry leaf in cyclone.

Arthit was drawing several different instincts to the forefront — none that Kong was proud of !

He was determined on not acting on his thoughts but fate had other plans .
The night was still young ....

A/N : So, I am not extrememy satisfied with the chapter but i think it is better than what i wrote previously.
