Fated to be yours

Chapter 10

Next evening, Mew goes home earlier than usual. He had an appointment at the hospital to get his stitches removed so after that he had decided to work from home.

He finds Gulf, again in the garden patio, this time with two people in school uniform and books scattered between them. As if feeling eyes on him, Gulf looks up in the direction of the balcony where Mew is standing. He is about to stand up but Mew waves him not to and gives a thumbs up to say 'it's okay'. Leaving him to his books and students, he decides to get to his own work too.

Two hours later in his study, he hears a knock on his door and when one of his staff walks in with a cup of coffee, he is surprised. He hadn't asked for one though! But then shrugs, he was anyway planning to ask for one so it's good, he thinks and takes the cup. His face brightens immediately when he takes a sip, the coffee is just how he likes it!

Before the lady who has brought him his coffee leaves the room, he enquires "Is Gulf still out in the garden?"

"No, Sir. Sir Gulf is now in the living room with Chopper."

Mew nods at the information before going back to his work.

Ten minutes later, he walks into the living room to see both Gulf and Chopper sitting on the floor. Looking closely, Chopper seems to be sulking and Gulf is trying to make him look at him.

"Come on Chopper, are you really gonna be like this? Look at me na. Na na na" Gulf tries to look at his face but Chopper turns away again, leaving him to stare at his behind.

Mew's lips curve into a smile at the scene and he decides to stay back and just observe them for a while.

Gulf pouts, "I am doing this for your own sake. Didn't you hear what your doctor said earlier? You are getting too chubby. I can't give you another treat."

Chopper just grrrs in reply.

Gulf huffs, folding his hands across his chest, "I am not going to move from here until you stop sulking with me. I don't like it."

Oh-ho!

Mew decides it's time for him to intervene. His baby chopper can be really stubborn sometimes, he is too spoiled! But he always gets away with his tantrums because he is too cute and Mew likes cute.

Shaking his head he walks further inside to where they are sitting, "Then you are going to keep sitting there for quite a while." The boy gets startled at his sudden voice and whirls around to look up at him with wide eyes.

Chopper immediately gets excited to see Mew and starts barking at him to pick him up. He chuckles at Gulf's expression when he narrows his eyes at Chopper. The boy looks so betrayed.

Mew takes a seat near him and his baby Chopper immediately climbs into his lap, patting his uninjured hand, his way of asking for his favourite belly rubs. Mew grins at his cute ball of fur and rubs his belly and ears before glancing up at the boy beside him who is watching them silently. "He can be really stubborn sometimes" he says, explaining his previous statement.

Gulf looks away and grumps, "Well it's said that pets take after their owner so I am not really surprised!"

Mew raises an eyebrow, "Are you implying I am stubborn?"

The boy shrugs, "You said it, Mr Suppasit, I didn't."

He purses his lips as they threaten to pull up in a smile and looks down to see Chopper growling at him. Oh! Right, because he stopped petting him. Sniff-kissing his head in apology he resumes rubbing his belly and the dog instantly melts in his arm. They sit in comfortable silence for some time as he plays with Chopper and Gulf doing something on his phone before he turns to the boy to ask "So, do you tutor people every day?"
