BETWEEN ME AND YOU

7 Or More Hours In Heaven

"I'm in love with you." A sweet voice echoes through the corners of the small closet. Kongpob freezes when he hears his best friend's voice. He knew it was Arthit. But for some reason, the thought of Arthit suddenly professing his feelings for him really surprised the smaller male.

With shaking hands, Kongpob removes the blindfold over his eyes and keeps his eyes closed for a while to adjust to the closet's ambience. And when he did, the first thing he sees were Arthit's eyes.

The large doe eyes looking at him with full sincerity. Sparkling with tears threatening to fall as they readied themselves for the rejection they were expecting.

"I'm sorry if I do." Arthit says finally breaking the silence that succumbed them for seconds that felt like hours. Looking away from Kongpob's unreadable expression.

"I've been in love with you for the longest time. I don't even know when I started feeling this way. But when I realised it, I never found the courage to tell you." Arthit continues to speak. He doesn't know how long can he take without breaking down.

"I know you'll never like me back. But I can't help myself anymore Kong. It hurts me when I see you with someone else, it hurts me that you're so oblivious of what I feel towards you, it hurts that I love you so much but I can't even have you." He was afraid of this. The rejection. Even though he knew he had it coming. It still hurt.

Not liking how inside the dark confines of the closet, Kongpob still chose to stay silent and just look at him as if he didn't get anything Arthit was saying. Slightly getting annoyed, Arthit balls his fists and exclaims.

"Would you please say somethi-" his words were blocked by a soft pair of lips. Arthit took a step back and hit the closet's doors. Kongpob's hands rested on Arthit's wide chest. Lips trembling but didn't want to let go.

Arthit was so surprised that it took him a while before he could respond. His hands wrapping around Kong's small frame as he deepened their kiss, resting his back on what seemed like a wall.

Until they both fell down.

The door of the closet opened, causing Arthit to fall, butt first while Kongpob was on top of him. The cheers in the room heightened when they saw the sight of the two best friends not even bothering to let go of each other despite falling on the ground. Taking all the time they needed.

Kongpob lets of Arthit breathless. Laughing as the people around them continued to cheer.

"I love you too." Kongpob says, causing Arthit to smile as wide as he can. The pale man hugs Kongpob tight and cheers.

"HE LOVES ME TOO!" The young man says causing everyone to cheer even louder. The two men stood up from their place and people congratulated them as they went through the crowd.

The two boys joined everyone else and partied. Dancing and drinking to their hearts content. Making out and hugging in some corners or right on the dance floor.

Kongpob was laughing as his body crashed on the soft mattress. Their were now back at Arthit's dorm. Kongpob who was a little tipsy from drinking so much alcohol whined and complained that he didn't want to go back to his room—which was only at the opposite dormitory—just yet.

Arthit chuckles when he sees Kongpob's adorable reddened face. The alcohol in his system made him feel hot. He removes his shirt and Kongpob was sure he has never seen Arthit hotter than the sun himself ever before.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" Kongpob says, raising his upper body with his elbows as he eyed Arthit who was looking at him with a smirk and an eyebrow raised.

"If I am, is it working?" Arthit says, Kong bites his lower lip and sits up. Slowly opening the shirt he was wearing. His eyes looking straight into Arthit's that somehow darkens more as he opens more buttons.
