Theory of Friendship that goes deeper than Love

What are you so happy about and what kind of crazy idea did you come up with?

- What are you so happy about? - Tawan asked suspiciously when he met Off the next day at set.
- Am I not allowed to be happy?
- You are and I'm glad that you are, but there's a tedious day of promoting some dumb product ahead of us and you are all giddy and stuff... It's weird, so that's why I'm asking what's the reason?
- Well, the sun is shining, I have work with you. It's nice. - Off shrugged smiling.
- Yeah, but my presence wouldn't make you this smily. It's suspicious. - Tay wasn't fooled by Off's excuses.
- Give yourself a bit more credit, my friend. - Off laughed and patted Tay's shoulder.
- Yeah, sure. - Tay scoffed - I am clearly not the reason for your exceptional mood. So, just tell me, what did the cheeky boy do to make you like that? - Tawan smiled knowingly.
- Oh, well... The usual, I guess. - Off tried to play it cool.
- You spent the day with him yesterday...
- Among other things. - Off was not giving up.
- You spent the night with him too, didn't you? - Tay smirked paying close attention to his friend's reaction. Off only raised his eyebrows as if he was saying 'maybe, maybe not" and he couldn't hide his smile well enough.
- So, you did. - Tawan stated - But I feel like there has to be something more to it. - once again Off was refusing to say anything, just pursing his lips that couldn't stop stretching into a smile against his will.
- Don't tell me you took little Gun's virginity, you hungry lion! - Tay said pretending to be outraged.
- Well... - Off cleared his throat - More like, he took mine.
- Come on! - Tay's eyes widened - Are you serious?! I was joking, I didn't really think that was the case. Oh my god, you ARE serious! - Tay blabbered.
- Shut up, don't be so loud and so obviously shocked. - Off got a bit embarrassed.
- Sorry, I didn't mean to yell. That explains everything though. I wasn't expecting it, but it... How was it? - Tay smirked asking, because curiosity won over the initial shock about the news.
- Can't you tell? - Off mocked smiling almost proudly.
- Eh, actually, yes, I can tell. - Tay grinned at his friend. - Also, I don't really know why I was so surprised. When I think about it, you love it when Gun does things to you.
- I guess I do. - Off smiled coyly.
- First, hugs, then the neck kissing. Everything, really. Taking photos, taking your hand... Your heart. - Tay beamed.
- Stop it. - Off was trying hard not to show his shyness and obviously failing. His best friend could see right through him.
- Hey, don't be shy. - this time it was Tay who patted Off's shoulder - You have such an amazing relationship with Gun. I can't even describe it.
- I know, right? - Off smiled dreamily staring into distance for a while and Tay didn't ask for anything anymore - Ah, man, the most amazing thing is, that every time we do something new... You know. - Off suddenly opened up. - Gun is getting shy, but he is so curious and gets more confident quickly and... We talk a lot.
- You always talk a lot. - Tawan noticed.
- Yeah, but I mean, during sex. - Off explained - I've never done something like that before with anyone. It seems like it should be weird, but it's not.
- I'm not sure I can imagine that... - Tay wondered.
- There's so much talking, man. I didn't even know this could be a thing. Sometimes, we're just talking and it is the thing that sets us off. And then, we are all over each other, but even then, we keep talking about everything. Like... What we want to do, what we know, what we don't know. About how everything feels, what we think... - Off said and it seemed he needed to share it with someone. He was so proud and in love. - There is a non-stop communication and so much care for each other. It feels like, even if something seems embarrassing, once we start talking about it, it's not embarrassing anymore.
- Jumpol, I'm gonna start crying. Don't brag about your relationship to a lonely person like me that much. - Tay wiped imaginary tear from under his eye.
- You were nosy first. Now you have to listen to it. It's your duty as a best friend. - Off snorted.
- Yeah... I guess I asked for it. - Tay smiled. - Most importantly, I'm happy. You know I've always rooted for you both.
- I know. - Off smiled.
- And I adore the mischievous boy of yours.
- Who doesn't. - Off grinned - You seem like best buds, especially recently.
- Oh, well. I'll be there for him if he wants to complain about you to someone. - Tawan teased.
- Eh? - Off laughed - But honestly, I'm glad you will.
