Kongpob stirred in his sleep, the sunlight passing through the balcony falling on his face. He covered his mouth as he yawned, fluttering his eyelids open. He turned to the side, smiling at the face of his sleeping lover.

He rested his head on his arm as he admired the figure of his lover. The elder's hair falling over his forehead, his lips parted slightly. Kongpob smiled as he reached over to brush away the strands of hair on his lover's forehead.

And he continued to caress his hair until Arthit stirred in his sleep. Kongpob immediately retreated his hand, knowing that he disturbed the elder's sleep.

Arthit yawned, opening his eyes. He soon smiled seeing his lover already staring back at him.

"Good morning, Kong," Arthit whispered, his morning voice sending shivers down the younger.

"Good morning, P. Sorry, I disturbed you. You can go back to sleep P, it's still early for you."

Arthit shook his head, balancing on his arm as he sat up, leaning his body on the headboard. "It's fine, I don't want to sleep."

Kongpob's eyes widened as he sat upon the bed.

"That's something suspicious, you would usually scold me for waking you up and here you're telling me you don't want to sleep!"

Arthit rolled his eyes at his boyfriend who was stared at him as if he had grown two horns in his head.

"Hey! Come on, I just wanted to get up early today. And well.." Arthit side-eyed his lover.

"I wanted to spend more time with you."

A smile instantly bloomed on Kongpob's lips as he heard his lover's soft words. He leaned into peck the elder's cheeks when he found the latter blushing at his own words.

"Kong!" Arthit glared playfully at the younger, yet a small smile making its way on his lips.

"You're soo sweet, P'Arthit!" Kongpob hugged his lover from the side, even though Arthit made an uncomfortable face at the action, he was smiling internally.

"Yeah-yeah," Arthit rolled his eyes making Kongpob chuckle.

"I'll go take a shower then," Kongpob smiled as he stood up from the bed. Maki8ng his way towards the balcony to move aside the curtains, letting more of the light enter the room.

Arthit just stared at his lover as the younger moved on with his routines, a small smile lingering on his lips as he watched his lover. He still cannot believe sometimes that the younger was his boyfriend now and the one's cat and mouse were now the most understanding person to each other. And Arthit wouldn't change it for anything else.

"P'Arthit?"

The elder blinked, coming to his senses. He felt a hot blush creep into the back of his neck seeing Kongpob smirking his way.

"Wanna join?" Kongpob raised the towel in his hand. He soon ran into the bathroom when Arthit took a pillow and threw it his way.

"Like what you see, P?"

Kongpob smirked, drying his hair with his towel as he leaned on the wall staring at his lover who stood a few feet away from him.

Arthit blushed deeply as he realized he was caught staring at his boyfriend's fresh out of the shower body.

"No! I don't! Now move!" Arthit pushed Kongpob away after he took his towel.

He heard the younger's laughter as he closed the bathroom door, he soon found himself laughing at his own action.

He hates the fact that he cannot control the blush creeping into his face everything the junior smirks his way or flirts with him. But hey! He had improved!

And he's sure that as time passed he'll get over these effects the younger pulls on him, or so he thinks.

"P'Arthit," a soft knock was heard on the door.

"Yeah!" Arthit called out from the shower.

"I'm heading out to buy breakfast."

Arthit smiled, "Ok!"

Finishing his much-needed shower, Arthit walked out of the bathroom. Took his clothes to dry on the balcony. His eyes soon fell on the opposite building.

A smile found his way on his lips. That familiar balcony opposite to the one he stood at bringing him back to his college days. It was the most memorable years of his life, in anyone's life. A step that you take before entering into the outside world. The last step where you feel secure within, with many others to guide you.

Arthit sighed, chuckling to himself for zoning out. He walks inside, finding that Kongpob hadn't returned yet, he proceeded to set up the table.

The elder checked the clock, Kongpob was getting late and it was worrying him. He tried to call the latter but Kongpob had forgotten to take his phone with him.

Arthit couldn't help but groan. Kongpob usually doesn't take much time, he knows maybe the food stall might be busy today and was late giving orders but he has the right to get worried, right?

Arthit stood up from the chair, walking towards the door when he heard it opening. He glared at Kongpob who sheepishly smiled at him.

"Sorry P, the stall was crowded and I lost track of time when my junior started to talk to me. I forgot to take my phone that's why I couldn't call you," Kongpob immediately explains himself as he walks towards the table and sets up their breakfast while Arthit just stands on the way.

Kongpob knows how the elder can get worried when he's late or couldn't call him. The elder was really protective over matters like that and Kongpob feels as if he's under the care of his parents and it whelms his heart.

"Which junior?" Arthit raised his eyebrows.

Kongpob glances at the elder, "N'Simon, we ran into eachother. His dorm is close by too. We just talked about random stuff."

Arthit sighed, watching Kongpob shrug his shoulder. He walked towards the younger, still glaring at him.

"That junior always makes time to talk to you," Arthit voiced out absentmindedly.

Kongpob chuckled, he made Arthit sit on the chair and served him his breakfast before he took a seat opposite to the elder.

"Is there any issue in that? Or maybe, are you jealous?" Kongpob batted his eyebrows, smiling slyly.

Arthit raised the fork in his hand, "Shut up! Who's jealous?! No one is!"

Arthit watched from over his lashes as Kongpob shook his head with a smile as he started to eat. Arthit bit his lips, stopping himself from smiling.

He missed this atmosphere, having breakfast with your loved one. It's always a pleasant feeling, with them stealing glances with eachother, subtle eye contacts, and soft smiles. It always made the day a brighter start, a motivation to be better than who you were yesterday.

"Kong..." Arthit gave a small smile as the younger looked up at him.

"What do you think about going on a date?"

Kongpob's eyes widened, he almost choked on his food but he tried to show that he wasn't affected by the sudden question the elder pulled out. It's not like every day his boyfriend, Arthit Rojnapath, would ask him for a date.

"T-That sounds pretty good P, why so sudden?" Kongpob tried to not smile too wide.

Arthit shrugged, not missing the sparkling eyes of the younger when he mentioned the date. Sometimes he feels guilty that he wasn't much open on small moments like these that the younger appreciated much. But he wanted to make changes, and let Kongpob know that the younger's happiness is important to him too.

"Just that it's been a long time since we went on a date. I miss our small dates, we can go in the evening. And return at night, it'll be cool."

Kongpob just smiled, nodding his head at whatever the elder said. He's just soo happy that the elder is taking initiative now. And it whelms him.

"I'm loving this change," Kongpob giggled when Arthit rolled his eyes.

"Can you be all sweet like this most of the time?" The younger teased the elder.

"Kong!" Arthit took his spoon and smacked Kongpob on his head.

"Ouch! P!" Kongpob pouted, rubbing his head.

"Serves you right," Arthit stuck his tongue out.

****

Arthit styled his hair in front of the mirror, his eyes occasionally falling on Kongpob who just smiled at him from the back, staring softly at his lover.

"Do I look good?" Arthit turned around, raising his eyebrows with a smile on his face.

Kongpob chuckled, giving a full head-to-toe look at the elder. Arthit was wearing a simple black shirt and jeans, yet he liked dashing in the younger's eyes.

"You're always handsome P. No matter what you wear."

Arthit shook his head, chucking. Kongpob would say that even if he came out of a garbage bin.

"Let's go then," Arthit nodded at the younger as they walked out of the room.

Arthit notices how the younger's dressing sense hasn't changed at all. Kongpob still takes time in dressing up, even if it is for a simple walk outside. And today, the younger was exceptionally handsome in the white undershirt with a brown sweater over it, and blue jeans. No wonder the younger still gets people behind him.

They took a bus to the park near the Rama 8 Bridge they had decided to visit today. Kongpob found himself glancing at his lover from the corner of his eyes and biting his lips he stopped himself from smiling seeing Arthit's eyes fixed on him as they sat inside the bus.

The ride was peaceful, just the chattering of the passengers inside occasionally disturbing the silence. Yet Kongpob felt happy and thrilled to be with his lover and going on a date. He missed these small details of his life.

It might be just over three years since they started to date together but both of them have turned to a part of their life. They couldn't think of a future without eachother.

"Kong we're here," Arthit nudged their shoulders.

Kongpob immediately came out of his thoughts and followed his lover outside. He smiled wide as he gazed towards the peaceful pathway under the bridge, with trees and flowers. They could overlook the river from the pathway.

"I missed this place," the younger heard Arthit murmur beside him.

Kongpob smiled, "Me too, P'Arthit. It feels soo peaceful here."

"It does," Arthit gave a dimpled smile before walking ahead, Kongpob tagging just beside him.

Their fingers brushed against eachother for a split second and Kongpob found himself longingly gaze at their hands. He badly wanted to hold the elder's hand in his but he knew the elder wouldn't be comfortable with it.

Even though it hurts him sometimes he knows Arthit is trying a lot, over the three years they had been in the relationship, Arthit had always tried to come out of his comfort zone, even if it took time from the elder's side. And Kongpob is grateful for that.

Kongpob sighed, soon bringing a small smile on his lips as he turned his face to gaze ahead, walking beside Arthit. He didn't want to ruin the moment, not with his stupid thoughts.

Kongpob gasped, his eyes widened when he felt a hold on his hands. He snapped towards his hand, his breath hitched when he found them tightly being held in the elder's warm hand.

He gazed up, to find Arthit already looking back at him, smiling with his dimples. The elder bumped their shoulders. And the younger found himself melting with the other's actions. A wide smile blooming on his lips as he tightened their hold, swinging their hands at a soft pace they walked along the rails of the park, gazing at the river.

Arthit couldn't help but feel butterflies in his stomach. He never thought holding hands would give such a sensation to him. A sense of assurance and safety, of love.

He has noticed how Kongpob's eyes were lingering on their hands previously, contemplating whether he should hold his hands or not. And it somehow ached Arthit when Kongpob just stopped himself from holding them. He knows he isn't comfortable with PDA, but sometimes he thinks he shouldn't be like it.

Missing the younger over months and their distance made him realize how strong his feelings for the younger are. And how important Kongpob is to him. And Arthit doesn't want to lose the younger for his stupid boundaries, he knows the younger wouldn't mind but he wanted to do it for himself.

He fell in love with a person, and that person just got to be a man. There's nothing wrong there. All that matters was their love so Arthit decided he doesn't care what people think about their relationship.

And thus he took the initiative to take his lover's hand in his and hold them firmly as they walk ahead. A sense of happiness washing over him when he saw Kongpob's face literally light up like the stars.

The two lovers engaged in small talks as they walked towards the bridge, finding themself giggling and laughing over the old memories that they reminisced. The familiar bridge bringing all kinds of emotions in them.

"I missed this," Arthit leaned against the rail, their hands still in a tight hold.

Kongpob smiled, nodding his head, glancing at their intertwined fingers, "Yeah, me too."

Kongpob leaned in to place a peck on the elder's cheek, making Arthit's eyes go wide. The younger didn't know what got into him but seeing his lover gazing ahead at the river and sky, with a dimpled smile on his face he couldn't help but kiss those cheeks. He knows the elder would get an-

"Kong, if you keep behaving this sweet I might die out of diabetes."

And now it was the younger's turn to have his eyes wide, gaping at the elder who smirked at him. Kongpob soon found himself smiling wide, chuckling to himself.

"Oh P! Then I will be the first one to die out of a heart attack because of how much you increase my heartbeats," Kongpob leaned his head on the elder's shoulder, he wouldn't back off like that to give replies to the elder.

"You cheesy ball!" Arthit chuckled making Kongpob giggle.

They gazed ahead at the evening sky, the sun was setting, giving the sky an orange hue, mixed with purple. It looked beautiful. And the lovers found themselves melting into the moment.

"Are you thinking about for first kiss P'Arthit?"

The elder shuddered, blushing when he realized he was thinking the exact same as the younger asked.

"How did you know?" Arthit raised his eyebrows, gazing sideways at the younger who still had his head over his shoulder.

Kongpob chuckled, "You're my lover P, I know you."

Arthit smiled, "You have no idea how tensed I was at the time. It felt as if the time has stopped, nothing else mattered when our lips met. As if it was only you and me."

Kongpob smiled, wrapping his hand over the elder's arm. Placing a small kiss on Arthit's shoulder.

It felt as if the time was moving fast, before they knew it was dark and the stars were up at the sky, scattering the night sky. The city lights reflecting on the water below the bridge.

They didn't know how the time passed by soo quickly, but they enjoyed each second of them. The laughter and teasings they shared. Everything was beautiful.

As it was getting late the couple decided to have their dinner and head home. They didn't have any other plan for the day.

The two found themselves walking towards the food stall that they had their dinner on the night of their confession. And to say that they didn't plan this would be an understatement.

Settling themselves on one of the free spots, the open area was giving them the much-needed cold breeze and beautiful chills. The night was just perfect.

They ordered their dinner, Kongpob having his favorite clear noodle soup with meatballs and Arthit having his spicy Tom Yum Noodle Soup.

They giggled within eachother, sharing knowing glances and smiling. Engaging themselves in small talks until their food was served.

"P'Kongpob!"

The couple turned their head towards the source of the voice. Arthit found himself gripping his knuckles tight under the table as he watched a young man taking his footsteps closer to their table. The smile the young man had not sat well with him.

"Oh! N'Simon!" Kongpob smiled wide seeing one of his juniors at the place.

"Swadee Kharp," Simon bowed at his senior and at the man along with the elder who he didn't recognize.

"Swadee Nong, I didn't know you would be coming here," Kongpob gave a polite smile.

Simon beamed just by hearing the elder talk to him, "I used to come here with my friends, P. But this time I'm alone."

"Oh, what happened?" Kongpob enquired.

Simon shrugged, "Just giving some 'me' time, P'Kong."

Arthit narrowed his eyes at the junior, was this junior stalking them or something? He's everywhere they're at.

He cleared his throat when he realized that he shouldn't let Simon talk to his lover alone.

Kongpob immediately looked at his boyfriend, apologizing with his eyes for ignoring the latter.

"N'Simon, meet Arthit. And P'Arthit, this is N'Simon, one of my juniors."

Arthit gave a tight-lipped smile, "Hello Nong."

"Swadee P," Simon awkwardly waied at the other.

"Is he your family P?" Simon politely asked Kongpob who gulped.

Kongpob doesn't know how he should be addressing Arthit, he knows the elder wouldn't be comfortable with disclosing their relationship like that.

"Well, he-he was my head hazer when I was a freshman. My senior," Kongpob didn't meet Arthit's stare.

Simon smiled, "Wow P! You still are in contact with your seniors who graduated?"

Kongpob cleared his throat, "Well, yeah-I-"

"Kong is my boyfriend, Nong. We're lovers," Arthit leaned forward on the table, placing a hand over Kongpob's that was placed on the table.

Kongpob's eyes almost popped out of its sockets as he stared at Arthit, dumbstruck. Here he was worried about the elder being uncomfortable and the same guy was declaring that they were in a romantic relationship in front of a junior.

"Oh-I-I didn't know," Simon felt a bitter taste forming inside his mouth. He felt a deep rage rise within him.

Kongpob smiled wide, gazing at Arthit who was looking at Simon, observing the young man's expressions.

"Ok then, I-I'll take my leave," Simon waied at the couple before he walked away to his table. Feeling hurt when he didn't even get a reply from Kongpob.

"What?" Arthit smirked. His fingers caressing over Kongpob's palm.

"You're giving me surprises since you came home yesterday, P." Kongpob smiled.

Arthit shrugged, "I know I hadn't been very vocal about things but you do know I love you a lot right? And I'm proud to tell to people that you're my lover."

Kongpob but his lips, feeling the emotions flow over his system. He's soo happy to hear these words from Arthit, it was always a dream come true for him.

Arthit retreated his hand when their dinner was served. He could make out Simon staring at their table with the corner of his eyes. And he was more than happy with the fact that Kongpob didn't even check up on the junior or doesn't even know/care where he sat. The younger was too focused on his favorite food and his favorite man sitting in front of him.

"You and your baby food, when will this end?" Arthit gave a disgusting look at Kongpob's food, teasing the other.

Kongpob pouted, "P'Arthit Kharp!"

Simon who sat a few tables away melted hearing how sweet the elder's voice was. And he imagines how sweet it would be if the other called his name soo softly and playfully. He just wanted to kiss that pout away.

Arthit laughed, "Aw Kong! I was just teasing."

Kongpob puffed his cheeks playfully, he was loving how the elder's attention was on him.

Arthit reached over his chopsticks to take a meet ball in Kongpob's bowl and placed it near his lover's lips.

"Come on, don't pout, Kong. Have this," Arthit smiled wide when Kongpob looked up at him with his puppy eyes soon taking the meatball in his mouth.

Arthit smiled satisfied, taking another meatball to feed his lover who giggled at the act.

Simon felt the urge to throw his own plate of food away. Glaring at the couple's table he stood up absurdly, placing his order's bill on the table he walked out of the place. His fist tightly gripped.

And Arthit smirked from the corner of his eyes, watching the distressed junior walk out of the place by the corner of his eyes.

As soon as the couple entered the premises of their room, Kongpob pushed Arthit on the wall, smirking at the wide-eyed senior.

"W-What are you doing?" Arthit gulped, he could feel the younger's breath fanning on his cheek.

"It's been long since I got a reward P, so, can I have it now?"

Arthit could feel the base of his neck heating up, he didn't answer the younger but closed the gap between them and started kissing his lover.

Kongpob sucked on the elder's bottom lip making the elder moan into the kiss. Arthit cupped the younger's face, pushing closer as they kissed.

Kongpob slides his tongue into the elder's mouth, the two lovers started to explore into eachother. Their arms running over their body.

Soon they found themselves undressing eachother, stumbling their way to the bed in their nakedness.

Kongpob softy made the elder sit on the mattress before pushing him back tenderly on the bed. The elder pushed himself up towards the center of the bed as the younger hovered on top of him.

Kongpob started to kiss the latter again, his hands roaming on the elder's well-fit body. The other's hands caressed across the younger's back, one hand behind his neck pulling the younger closer for the kiss.

Arthit's moans started to fill the room as Kongpob slowly teased his nipples with his fingers, soon the younger was sucking onto the pink buds making the elder a moaning mess.

"K-Kong-Ah-Ah," Arthit gripped the younger's hair as he arched, feeling Kongpob's tongue trail down his nipples to his navel.

The younger's hand caressed over the elder's naked thigh, placing small kisses over the sensitive part Kongpob slowly entered his finger into the elder's warm hole.

"Fuck!" Arthit arched feeling the movement of the younger's finger inside him. He soo badly wanted to shout at Kongpob to just take him at the moment, he wasn't into being driven by a foreplay.

But he was enjoying this. It's been soo long they had an intimate moment between them and this was burning the sparks inside him.

Arthit found himself pushing into the movement as Kongpob entered the second finger. The fingers moving at a fast pace within, sending tremors down the elder's spine.

Kongpob reached up to the elder and started kissing him, his fingers still inside Arthit. Arthit moaned louder into the kiss when the younger's fingers hit a certain spot inside him.

Kongpob continued to repeat the action for a few more seconds before he heard a disapproved groan from the elder making him chuckle. His lover was getting impatient.

Taking out the lube and condom from the nightstand the younger wore the condom over his rock-hard member already oozing pre-cum. He coated it with a good amount of lube before looking down at the elder who had his face flushed and eyes hooded with lust.

Positioning himself between the elder's spread-out legs, he gazed up at the other, seeking permission through his eyes. Arthit just nodded, not able to let out any words.

Kongpob dived in to kiss the elder as he slowly entered his member into the gaping hole. Arthit let out sweet moans into the kiss, clawing his hands over the younger's shoulder as he felt his hip move as Kongpob rocked into him.

"Gosh! Fuck! Kong!" Arthit moaned out loud, his nails digging into the younger's back.

Kongpob bit his lips, taking in the sensation of the elder's walls gripping over his member. His one hand moved to the elder's waist as he balanced himself, thrusting his member in and out.

The elder's moans and groans echoing the room, the smell of their sweat mixing with the scent of sex within the room.

Arthit's hand moved to his own member, feeling it hard he started to stroke faster as he could feel Kongpob was close to his release.

"I'm close!" Kongpob breathed out, his eyes moving up as he felt himself ready for his release.

Arthit stroked his member faster, "Me too!"

Within a few more thrusts Kongpob released himself, breathing heavily he leaned over the elder, feeling the other's release between them. He placed a small kid on the other's cheek making Arthit smile.

Staring into each other's eyes for a few seconds, both of them giggled, leaning in for a peck. Kongpob removed himself from the elder. He rolled over to the other side, taking the next few minutes to clean themselves up the couple was soon cocooned in each other's embrace, the lights turned off as they laid under their blanket.

"Next time, I'll be taking the lead," Arthit suddenly voiced out making Kongpob's eyes turn wide.

"What!?"

Arthit turned towards the younger, smirking under the moonlight. "What? I would like to take a lead sometimes too."

Kongpob blushed, "You don't like it when I take the lead?"

Arthit caressed the younger's cheek, "Come on, Kong! You know that I love you! It's just that, I want to make you feel how amazing I feel during the time too."

Kongpob smiled, pushing himself closer to the elder, burying his face in the crook of his neck.

"I always love you P'Arthit, and I trust you."

Arthit smiled, hugging the younger tightly he caressed his hair. Silence soon filling the air.

With the soft caresses of each other's hands on them, with small smiles on their lips, they found themselves falling into a deep sleep.
