Weekend Plan

"You're so quiet tonight, why? You're not feeling well?" asked Beam. He put his palm on Forth's forehead. "Your body temperature is normal."

Forth removed Beam's hand from his forehead and placed the video game stick on the floor. They had finished dinner and Beam asked Forth to accompany him to try out the new video game he had just uploaded.

"That girl teased you very aggressively," Forth said quietly.

Beam's eyebrows rose. "Who? Liza? The girl we met in foodcourt?"

"Hmm."

"She's a nobody. I even forgot her name, if she hadn't mentioned it."

"Your one night stand girl?"

"I don't know," Beam shrugged. "I stopped playing that game a long time ago."

"You're a Casanova, aren't you? I heard people talked about you and I was curious."

"That's what people say. I don't care what they say. After all, like I said earlier, that was in the past, when I was in high school. After starting college, I didn't play anymore, but they still call me that. Even Phana and Kit still often think I'm playing with the girls when they see me flirting with them."

"Why did you stop playing?"

"I don't know. I'm just not interested anymore. They got greedy after I served them once. Tried to control me and ordered me around. Troublesome."

Ford smiled. He picked up the video game stick again and started playing. Beam tilted his head, starrimg at Forth's profile.

Beam holds his hand. Forth's knuckles were bruised. "Poom!" Beam snapped.

"Huh, what?" asked Forth surprised with Beam's tone.

"What did I say about fighting?" asked Beam annoyed. "Did you forget my word?"

"Fighting? I'm not fighting," Forth replied confusedly. He is starring at furrowed eyebrows Beam.

"This? These bruises?" Beam held Forth's hand and pressed his knuckles. "You can't fight and when it happend, look what you got."

"Huh? But, I can fight, Beam. I am a master of so ..., "

"No. You won't always get cuts and bruises if you can fight. Look at this, this, and this now." Beam cutted Forth's word and glared him. "You make yourself hurt everywhere."

Forth was stunned, saw Beam rubbing his knuckles and suddenly Beam looked up. "Don't. Fight. Do you hear? I don't want to be friends with you anymore if you're still fighting. You're worrying me."

"Am I worrying you?"

"Of course. You're my friend and I like being with you. You're fun and make me feel good. Please listen to me, will you?"

Forth smiled and nodded. "What are you going to do tomorrow night?" asked Forth cheerfully.

"Tomorrow night? Usually my friends and I go to the bar for a drink, but I don't know if we'll be doing it together tomorrow. Phana must have had an event with his boyfriend, because ever since he became campus moon, his time is up for practice. Kit also being close to a junior from the engineering college. I think they will be offial soon."

"You're very close to Phana and Kit, aren't you?"

"They've been my best friends since elementary school. Our houses are also close together."

"Hm. Then, want to hang out with me tomorrow?"

"You go to the bar too?"

"Sometimes."

"I'm not in the mood for a bar."

"Then how about we go to the beach? My friend has a small inn there, we can spend the night."

Beam's eyes widened. He hasn't been to the beach in a long time. "I love that idea. Come on! I'll bring lunch. We can grill bacon and sausage after swimming. Beach. Yeay!"

Forth smiled.
