Fairies Creek

Crimson Sky Summer - I

Lam and Beam woke up late. They weren't able to get a good night sleep because they spent the whole evening talking and playing around. There's always a huge gap in the times that they were together so sleep is only an option when they meet each other again.

It was the first that they'll be late for a gathering, both were concerned because for sure many people will be looking for them. En route, they didn't speak, they didn't even looked at each other. Lam continued to drive his jeep while Beam was gazing at the rice paddies. There was conflict between the two.

Beam's phone beeped. It's from his secretary. He's been away for his leave for a few days and received reminders of his appointments as soon as his leave was up. He read the message then discarded his phone.

They can already see the program from afar. It's as if the whole town was celebrating. A lot of people were gathered outside the capitol's metal gate. Kids, seniors, man, woman, all kinds of people. A variety of colorful ribbons with intricate letterings and drawings were being raised all around. The masses were clapping their hands like they're watching some kind of program inside the large backyard of the capitol building.

"So the reasom that you don't want me to touch you last night is because your Forth already served you. Were you pleasured? Did he make you see stars just like when I'm fucking you?" Lam sarcastically growled while glancing at Beam at the time that he said 'see stars'.

"You know what, if nothing good will come out of your mouth, just shut it. It's better earlier that we were just quiet. The nerve of you to brag on making me stars, why, how many times have you done that? Twice? Thrice? And it's only because I want to make you stop from all your whining and crying!" Beam rolled his eyes while still looking at the fields.

"Just answer my fucking question!" Lam's voice turned louder but he was trying to keep his anger down.

"Stop it Lam, we still have some important things to do." Beam was also trying to keep himself calm, he turned to look at the face of his bestfriend.

"Please Baramee.." Lam stopped the car on the side under two tall trees by the rode. He buried his face on the steering wheel and sobbed loudly.

Beam knew when Lam calls him with his real name his bestfriend requests care and attention. He still remembered an incident when they were still kids and they have a huge fight about marbles. He accused Lam of stealing his marbles. It was a heated quarrel, it turned into a fistfight and some rolling around on the ground. Khun Siony couldn't doing anything to stop them until Lam got wounded from Beam's scratches.

Lam has quite the punch. Beam already saw how one of Lam's classmates who messed with him went home with a bloody lip. He felt how much Lam protected him.

But Lam never did give any blows to Beam even though he was being thrown serious accusations. Lam just pushed him hard so they won't hurt each other. Beam just returned to his senses when Lam spoke, "Baramee please... I didn't stole your marble."

Beam clearly saw the sincerity in Lam's face who was struggling to calm himself down so he can properly explain. He saw how Lam's first tensed but did not move like he's trying his best not to punch Beam or any part of Beam's body. That's when he felt how much his childhood bestfriend loves him.

"Alright! Okay! Yes! He made me see stars because he fucked me like crazy!" Beam exclaimed in front of the crying Lam.

"And I let him own me all through the night..." Beam added while Lam sobbed with his head low on the steering wheel.

Lam suddenly stopped with his sobs as if he got enlightened. He then turned to look at Beam, as if looking for the truth in the latter's face.

Beam saw the redness of Lam's droopy eyes born from sadness and the wet cheeks. Honestly, solely by the eyes, Lam clearly had the upper hand from Forth.
