OhmFluke A Day II

24 October 2021

A Continuation from 22/10/2021

Fluke looked at himself in the mirror.

The last time he truly saw himself was about a month ago, but the changes in him were apparent. No more bruises, no more cuts and he looks fuller. His sunken cheeks now plumber, his eyebags mostly gone, his lips no longer chipped.

All in all he looks healthier.

He smiled. Not only was he looking better, he was also feeling a lot better. His days are no longer filled with tears and sadness.

It's been 3 months since his stepfather was arrested, and just like how Ohm said it, he wouldn't be getting out of the prison anytime soon. Fluke and his mother, with a lot of persuasion, had testified against him on abuse.

"Noo... Your boyfriend's here!" His smile vanished when he heard his mother shout from outside of the bathroom.

With a pout, he exited the room to his giggling mother.

"Mom~" He whined. "He's not my boyfriend!"

"Yet!" His mother replied teasingly, sticking her tongue out. Fluke couldn't help but to chuckle. Not only were the changes apparent to him, his mother was the same.

If not, his mother's changes were more obvious. When it was announced that his stepfather was guilty, it was like the burden she had was finally lifted. And that was the brightest smile he had seen his mother smile after the death of his father.

"I'm going." He said as he put on his sling bag and kissed his mother on her cheeks.

"Hi." The tall person who was leaning against his car greeted him as soon as he was out of the house.

Fluke smiled. "Hi." He replied, walking towards the male.

"Noo..."

"P'Ohm..."

Ohm smiled, opening the passenger seat for him and closing it once he was seated. He ran to the driver seat and started the car.

"First of all, I want to say that you look very pretty today." The older male said, looking at him tenderly. By this point of the nonexistent relationship, Ohm didn't even bother hiding his affection and feelings towards the other. At first when Fluke noticed it, he was flustered but as time went on, he got used to it.

"What pretty? I'm a man! It's supposed to be handsome!" He whined, no longer easily blushing like before. Sure, sometimes the thing that Ohm did still took him by surprise and his cheeks will warm up but he'll quickly look away as to now show the taller his reddening cheeks.

Ohm on the other hand chuckled. "Yes, yes. You're handsome. Ready?"

Fluke nodded excitedly. He actually started going to school again about a month ago, all thanks to the Ritprasert family, hence he didn't really get the time to go out as much. This was his first time going out since he started school again.

"Ready!"

"P'Ohm, where are we going?" After more than 15 minutes of driving and not the car still hadn't stopped, Fluke finally asked. Ohm didn't tell him where they'll be going. When he told him that he'll take him out on a date yesterday, he only said to get ready by 8 in the evening.

He was skeptical since it was quite late but didn't ask nonetheless.

"You haven't had your dinner, right?" Ohm asked, eyes glued on the road. The road was empty, the only source of light was from the dimly lit street light and the moon. Fluke shakes his head and mutters a no.
