The Invite

30 years ago
At night, in a quiet home a five year old girl was sleeping in her bed, hugging her favorite doll. Her mother sat aside her, singing a lullaby in a hushed voice.

The little angel was flying through the clouds, chasing fairies, riding a beautiful unicorn. She smiled in her sleep, when she touched one of the fairies' wings. The mother couldn't help but smile at the innocent child whose serene dreams blocked all the dangers lurking around them. She wondered, she could ever be able to help her child to get through the adverse living conditions they are in.

It was eerily quiet, like a calm before the storm. Her intuition was proved right the very next moment. The ground trembled, everything around her shook. The tremors that coursed through the ground was enough to knock down the already worn-out house. A visible wide crack appeared on the ground. Before she could grab her daughter everything went black.

Present
"Arthit.....oy..Arthit....stop daydreaming man!! You are the one who wanted to finish this quickly, and here you are zoning out.", Bright rocked him holding his shoulders.

" Arthit, everything alright? You have been quiet for sometime .", Knot asked in a concerned voice.

" Oh, I am sure, it has got something to do with his 0062. Did you have a fight with him. Did you guys break up?", Bright cut him before he could reply.

" Really Thit? Is that true? So is Kongpob open for requests? OMG..I can imagine myself in....", Tutah squealed jumping from his seat.

" Stop it....What the hell guys, and shut up Bright..there is nothing wrong between us..Tutah, what's with that squeaky voice. Don't you dare say like that again about my boyfriend."

The table fell silent.
"Wow..Arthit, it's the first time you referred him as 'my boyfriend'", Knot voiced out what was in everyone's mind. Arthit's eyes widened in realization. Not that he is ashamed or anything. It's just that he is not so vocal about their relationship to others. He never felt the need for it since it was something private and only for them to cherish. But he is this close to claiming him in front of the whole campus. Reason? The new flock of freshmen.

"Don't worry Toots...even if you are the last person on this planet, Kongpob would run away from you. And he is totally whipped for our friend. I don't think he will survive even a second without Arthit.", Prem's voice brought Arthit out of his musings again.

Knot looked at Arthit who was now a blushing mess. He has never thought that just a mere mention of the junior could bring such an effect on Oon. They are certainly so in love. You both are lucky to have each other. Knot smiled to himself.

Even with constant whining from Bright and excessive nonsenses from Tutah, they were able to finish their works in 45 minutes. When they were collecting their things and was about to leave, something fell out from Arthit's bag, which he quickly retrieved and hoarded back in his bag.

" Now, I get why you were zoning out.", Prem patted his shoulders with a wink.

"What is it?", Knot couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing guys,let's go. Arthit has some important things to finish.", Arthit could only thank Prem internally, as he hurriedly left to meet the person he has been anxiously waiting for.

I hope he likes my gift.

Arthit tapped at Kongpob's right shoulder. They were near the parking lot. Kongpob turned to look at him. Arthit examined his boyfriend. He has his hair down rather than his usual gelled, styled hair making him more handsome and his smile that was beginning to spread on his face is not helping Arthit either. He could feel a sweet burning sensation inside him. He is sure that his ears have already turned red.
