Arthit has already collected his boarding pass and is sitting inside the security lounge waiting for kong to join him . He will not show upfront but he is feeling happy that Kong has decided to join him for this odd journey. Arthit doesn't know why but, he feels relaxed and somewhat excited for this one week with Kong. But right now he is also nervous.. he hates flying. He especially hates take off and landing. He has not had anything from yesterday night in his nervousness. His stomach gives a low growl.

Kong suddenly arrives and  passes him a cup of coffee and a meat puff.  

" How?" Arthit cannot finish his sentence, he feels kind of warm. A very long time ago he used to feel like this, exactly three years ago.. Phana..but this time it seems little.. different!! Arthit cannot really put a finger onto the difference still. It makes him a little more warm..and a little more nervous...

" Earth told me yesterday you are always nervous before flying..you looked pale,  so I thought coffee and little food in the tummy will help you to feel better and relax a little." Kong answered softly..almost speaking to Arthit like he is a child.

Arthit doesn't say anything and takes the food and coffee and starts eating, while kong too enjoys his own morning coffee and bun beside him. They sit in a comfortable silence. Suddenly the announcement of boarding is announced. Arthit looks up to see Kong already had taken both their backpacks in his hand and extends a hand towards him.

Arthit doesn't know what to think anymore.. neither Earth nor phana ever put him in such a spot, Fearing his untoward reactions and social awkwardness.. they never ever tried to take him out of his comfort zone. They always let him lead the behavior.. Kong is acting different. He is not afraid of Arthit s reaction. He is just treating him like a special person should be treated.

Arthit doesn't take the hand, just stands up, takes his  backpack from Kong and marches towards the boarding gate. Suddenly he looks back to see if Kong is following.. seeing the jesture, kong slightly smiles.. he follows behind him,

" Do you want me to follow you." He teases Arthit..liking the blush in those chubby cheeks which spreads like a crimson hue..

" Whatever"

Kong decides not to tease him more and just board the plane and takes his seat beside Arthit.

Flight is about to take off now, Arthit starts to hide his anxiety the only way he knows how....he starts rambling data's about flight accidents and survival rates and which accident inspired which writer to write which story.

Kong  can't take it anymore.. he doesn't know what took him over , he grabs the man's hand

, Pulls him closer and starts kissing him..

Arthit eyes go so big in surprise , it may just will  fall out of his head, he freezes completely. The flight, the surrounding,  the take off , his all fear leaves him in that moment. Only Kong's lips moving over his own, the bitter coffee taste , that's all his mind can think about now. After sometime when he regains his thoughts he pushes Kong off.

He is totally red now..looking like a bright tomato..both in rage and embarrassment.. this wicked jerk he thinks in his mind and he turns towards window and looks out ..

Kong expected a slap at least from Arthit after his kissing stunt, but when Arthit just turned towards the window without looking at him or giving any other reaction, he feels oddly elated and also dejected..

After some flying time, without any further incidences , with Arthit continuing to look outside and Kong glancing occasionally at him , the captain announces about bad weather condition and expected turbulence.

Arthit visibly flinches and becomes pale with the announcement. His palms start sweating , he just cannot look out anymore..
Kong slowly pulls Arthit s  one hand into his laps and laces their fingers together and gives a gentle squeeze. Arthit this time doesn't take away his hand but he doesn't turn towards Kong either.

He just starts murmuring about bad weather conditions  and flight accidents to himself, thinking in his mind , Kong will not hear it.

Kong hears him clearly , he smiles to himself, how can one man be so cute and childish... Kong doesn't disturb Arthit s mutterings this time, he knows Arthit is trying to cope through this .. and he knows a second forceful kiss is not at all needed now.. Arthit is really scared.

After some time when the weather condition becomes better, and the bumpy aeroplane ride has now become smooth  Arthit still hasn't removed his hand from Kong.

Kong understood why.. Arthit has felt safe .. he has slept off. His head leaning on the window.

Kong slowly removes the bangs from Arthits  eyes , in feather light touches he starts moving his hand through his hair. He knows this really soothes Arthit. He has discovered this tactic, that night at his apartment. He cannot help himself, he leans in and steals a kiss on those chubby cheeks.

Arthit is half asleep..he can sleep anywhere, yes, he loves sleeping..period..but  he just cannot go into deep sleep in a flight. His mind remembers hazily most of the things that night in Kong's apartment, though he had no control over his actions or words that night.

He doesn't know himself why was he not angry on Kong later. Like right now,when he is leaning in and stealing kisses , he just lets Kong do that.

What the hell is happening to his logical mind and reasoning..

This flight is giving him great frights in his mind and body...
