100 Days Without You (COMPLETED)

16. Singto & Krist

Singto

When the crowd leaves, Singto is left alone with Krist, who is still snuggled into his chest on the bed. While Singto would very much like to follow Joshua's suggestion and start something with Krist, he knows that they have to talk first.

Also, Krist must be exhausted having flown half way across the world to be with him.

In fact, when he asks Krist if he'd like to sleep, he finds that the other man is already almost passed out against his chest.

It's so easy to ease them down to the pillows, Krist still in his arms. For a long time, Singto just watches his love sleep, then he uses his fingertips to stroke back his fringe.

"Oh Krist," he whispers, "Thank you for being here. I love you."

"Love you too," Krist mumbles and snuggles in closer. Singto feels like his heart has been stitched over as he listens to the even breathing.

It can't be more than three hours before Singto is woken by Krist calling out his name. The other man is still tucked into his arms, but he's moving like he's distressed. It's heartbreaking to hear him calling for him, so Singto decides to try and wake him.

He's gentle, sliding his free hand over Krist's and tapping gently. Then when that doesn't have an impact and Krist is still moaning, he gently kisses his cheek, trying to waken him with his touch and his scent.

He's still pressing kisses to Krist's cheeks when the other man moans his name and rolls them over, pushing the full length of his body flush with Singto's.

They are pressed so close that every warm breath sends shivers through Singto. But he can't let this happen while Krist is still asleep.

So he grips Krist's hips and tries to push him back. But it only makes the other man slider harder against him and Singto is lost in the sensation.

But then Krist's voice slurs, "Singto? Please, I want you to come back. Please." And Singto can't breathe properly.

He pushes hard and forces Krist away, jolting the man enough that he opens his sleepy eyes and asks, "Am I dreaming?"

They settle together on the bed, holding each other and whispering.

"Did I really come here?"

"You did and I'm so glad."

"I'm still angry with you for leaving."

"I know and I'm angry with myself too."

"And I was wrong too, I feel like I pushed you away."

"No. No, truly. I was.. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like. I didn't want to be apart and hurt you more"

"I.. can we, is there anyway Singto that we can just.. start again?"

When Joshua knocks softly on the door the next morning, Singto calls out that it's safe to come in.

His friend throws himself onto the bed opposite them, Krist still wrapped in Singto's arms, face pressed into his chest even though he's still awake.

"So, Gun.. I mean, should I call you Singto now?"

"Whatever you want."

"Well then, Singto.. imagine my surprise when I googled Krist over there.. were you ever going to tell me just how famous you are?"

Singto grimaces, "I'm sorry. I suppose I just wanted to stay anonymous while I was a student. I've been a famous student before and it's.. hard."

"I get it of course, but you and Krist? You're like super famous, 3 million followers on Insta! Seriously, I googled KristSingto and I was so shocked."

"Well.."

"He's kind of modest," Krist says, sitting up beside him, pressing a kiss to Singto' cheek as he does.

"I gathered! And you, you're a film star and you have your own album and.."

"Yes, but really, I'm just a whipped guy for this one." He admits, heart eyes on Singto.

"Well, yes clearly, but still. You just flew all the way here from Thailand to see him, how long are you here?"

"Actually, I haven't even told Singto yet."

"Told me what?"

"P'Tha, I.. basically told him I was coming and not to expect me back for a while, so he asked me to consider doing a vlog? What do you think? Will you film it?"

Singto throws himself at Krist, peppering his face with kisses, "Yes! Yes! I.. are you serious?"

"If you'll have me?"

"Always."

Krist

"So now here I am in Times Square, taking in the atmosphere. My cameraman is a little shy today, but he wants me to tell you that this place is the heart of Manhattan.. Later, we are planning to head downtown to ride something called the Staten Island Ferry, and from there, we should see the Statue of Liberty, a true American icon.. now, let me show you round..."

Krist grins as Singto slides his finger over his throat, ending the shot. Around them a thousand tourists are taking pictures and making videos of their own and they feel like they are anonymous in this little corner of the world.

"P'Sing?" Krist calls out, reaching out to twirl a hand around his waist, "Pom Rak Khun."

"Pom Rak Krist!" Singto replies, leaning in and pressing a short kiss to his lips.

At that exact second, Joshua snaps a shot and grins.

Later that night he sends it to Krist who has become a close friend of his in the last few weeks.

From across the room, Krist grins at him, "So, what should I do with it?"

"What do you want to do with it?" Joshua asks.

The image goes viral within seconds. Krist and Singto together in the centre of Times Square sharing a kiss.

Many think that it's photoshopped until Krist's first vlog drops and at the end, he pulls his cameraman onto the screen with him, and presses a kiss to his cheek.

"For those who were wondering.." Krist says, staring at the man beside him instead of the camera.

"..yes, it's true!" Singto finishes, eyes locked on Krist's as the screen goes black.
