Nervous for you - Kongpob

Here I am sitting in class listening to the professor lecture about calculus, but I am having trouble paying attention. I want to know how his first day of internship is going. I think I am more nervous for him then what he sounded like on the phone last night. However he does like to put up his front if he feels anything... maybe he was lying. I thought for sure he would of texted me at least once, but it's almost Noon. Still no messages from him. Tew whose in the same class as me keeps nudging my shoulder. My guess, is he can sense my distress.

When the professor calls for a fifteen minute break. He turns over to me and looks me dead in the eyes. "Will you stop sending nervous vibes. You are making me feel uncomfortable!"

I stare at him in a dazed state. Was i worrying too much...should I tell him why? My attention was back to Tew when he said " for the lord above will you stop fretting over P'Arthit!" "Huh?!" "You have been muttering to yourself all morning how could I not know? You're sitting right next to me!" I looked down at my folded hands on the table. Sorrowfully, ashamed that I have such bad habit such as muttering to myself. Pitiful. I usually only do that while I clean.

"You weren't that loud... I had to move a little closer to actually figure out what you were say!" "I think, you have become my new best friend!" "What?!" Tew face resembling confusion. "You have figured me out! Almost as good as Aim. It's nice to have amazing Besties."

"Kissing up won't help us pass this class if I have to listen to you every day..." "cheap shot! I'm sorry! Ai'Tew!!" "Deal with your anxiety and we will be cool!" I just mumbled a yes as the professor walked back into the room to resume the class. I quickly texted P'Arthit.

Sun:
Thinking of you. Hope your first day is going well!

At least I feel better knowing he will see my message. I just hope I will receive something soon about his well-being.

Class went by quickly after sending the text. "You seemed calmer?" Tew asked inquisitively "yeah. I texted him." I smirked weakly "he will text back when he can." Tew pats my shoulder as we headed out of the classroom and on to the next.

We met up with Aim and Oak on the way. "Hey ai'Kong, have you heard from P'Arthit, yet? P'Bright has been texting me nonstop about how boring his orientation is going." Everyone stopped walking and stared at Aim. Oak stuttered    

"Justified question... are you sure you like May?" Tew and I looked over at Oak shocked at his sudden question. Aim groans... "Yes! Gawd, I don't like him. I like woman! He is just lonely and he can boss me around." "True. P'Arthit always ignores his messages because as I have seen they are always ridiculous." I spoke with conviction. Aim just nods his head in agreement.

Once again I looked at the phone and no messages from my lover. I sighed knowing P'Arthit's personality he will not do anything that would result in him being reprimanded.

We found a quiet location near the canteen. We are all listening to Aim and Oak chatting very passionately about a video game they were playing last night instead of doing the classroom that was assigned.

Tew would make comments every now and then about what he read about online. I know, and have played this game with them multiple times, however today I can't just get excited. Heck, the food on my plate is still not eaten.

Why does this separation feel worse than when I left for reading week between semesters one and two. I could always find my way to his apartment as I know where it is. The only problem is the bus ride... I googled the route and oh dear... it will be a whole day adventure. I sighed once again.

"Ai'Kooong! You're doing it again!" I looked up and Tew is judging me while clicking his tongue. Both Aim and Oak tilting their head questioning our conversation. "Ugh! I can't help it! I'm stressed out!" "You have messaged him how many times now?" I looked down at my message... one, four, eight, fifteen... omg it keeps on going. I looked up in horror. The only thing I could muster was, "he is going to kill me".

Tew quickly grabs my phone and pockets it. "Ai'Kong it's on vibrate, right? If you get a message from anyone I will tell you." "Uh huh... I'm so dead" I looked down at my hands grimly. Aim starts patting my shoulder while saying, "it was nice knowing you." Oak stood up began singing a song of morning. Wad arrived during this time I just saw a glimpse of his confusion before it was replaced with his regular stoney expression.

"Are you going to explain why we are in morning?" Tew raises his eyebrow with a smirk. "Ai'Kong here has messaged P'Arthit over 20 times! Asking how his day is going" it ends it with a laugh. "Oh shit. Yeah, my condolences are in order for everyone at this table. May Ai'Kong find peace in the after life." The group of them began laughing their asses off at my expense.

When Tew had a surprised expression and took out my phone. He smiled as he passed it over. "Your grim reaper is calling!" I grab the phone earnestly.

"Swaddee P'Arthit!" "What the hell Kong! Stop messaging me. Everything is going fine. Mostly orientation and meeting all the department heads. Geezus, you are texting me like you haven't seen me all weekend!" I groaned " I was nervous that it wasn't going well or they are not treating you right..." Kong..." "hmmm" "I'm fine. Stop acting like my Mae!" "Yes., Phi" I said begrudgingly. "But... I like it that you care enough to be..." silently he whispers.. "worried about me."

I beam with delight, "of course P'Arthit! Even though you never said you were anxious about today. I knew, by just being near you. I want only the best for you as I want others to see how I see you. Intelligent, Diligent, Considerate, Sincere, Versatile..." "Kong..." "Trustworthy, Determined, and kind." I can hear his breathing threw the phone. He's not saying a word. "That is why I believe you will succeed in your future goals and I hope to be there to see it!" I heard coughing behind me and I see Aim pointing to his watch.

"P'Arthit?" "Yeah..." he responds weakly "did I say something wrong?" I asked with concern. "No.. just lost for words to describe how I'm feeling other than if we were together I was hug you tightly." He voice cracking at the end. "As would I hug you back tightly... maybe steal a few kisses while we're close.." I seductively said. "Can it! I'm at work! I'm leave bye." The line cut before I could say anything, but shortly after I received a voice message.

"Kong, thank you for your words. You have no idea how much that meant to me hearing that. I will not let you down and I will show you just the kind of man I am... and I uh... fuck it... I love you." Grinning from ear to ear I walk towards my class.

Tew, Aim and Oak gave me puzzled expressions and all I could say was, "I think I found the one!" Oak just pretended to puke while Tew and Aim just Rolled their eyes while saying, "Sure! Sure!"

They may not believe me now, but when same sex marriage is legalized. We will be the first ones to get hitched. I swear by this love of ours.
