Does anyone know how stressful corporate life is? If someone doesn't know, send him over to Win and he will very audibly explain to them probably with a PowerPoint presentation and shit since that pretty much sums up about this job. He's been doing presentations for half of his life okay, maybe that's a little too much but he's been doing the same thing as long as he remembers. Win was so excited that he woke up without an alarm today, every day it's a series of four to fourteen alarms and it ends with him waking up to his neighbor who is over 60 years old shouting at his door "Boy! A sixty-year-old me can hear that loud alarm, can't you? At least turn that down before I break your door and smash it myself!"Well, that does it for him sometimes Win thinks that the old woman besides his apartment does a great job waking him up than his alarm. Yeah, his apartment is a little rusty for someone who's been working in corporate for many years and the sounds can be heard a little too easily.
Win moved to this apartment when he started his career as a teen who was looking to find a good-paying job to solve all his problems back then, he didn't take a breather didn't go to college either working his ass off to pay the bills and this apartment looked like heaven to him then he thinks the same now too, except there's no life for him outside his job, he thinks it's high time to move out of here get a better home and try to change his life a little bit. That's why he was so excited today, he was so damn confident that he would get the promotion this time, he has way better experience in this company than that college kid who joined the company two years ago.
When he confronted his manager with the same he was faced with humiliation nothing new but this hit him with reality " You're only a high school graduate and that kid has a college degree and he's an asset to the company. Maybe get a degree it's not too late, you're what 25?" Maybe he should quit this job and go to college finally do something that he likes. Speaking of liking, this is the best part of his day every day for two years, he counts down the time when it comes down to this part of his day.
Win pulls his tie from his collar taking it off, unbuttoning his white crisp shirt throwing it away on the floor. Then comes his leather belt, pulls his zipper down stepping out of his pants, and takes off his boxers which meet the other piece of clothing on the floor. He runs his hand through his hair when the bangs fall on his eyes and turns on the heater, nothing soothes a body than a warm bath, but that's not the best part yet. He hears the shower running, not from his apartment though it's his neighbor no, not the grandma but the other side of his apartment where the bathroom is faced towards his bathroom so, he can hear the water hitting the floor and now the sound is a bit muffled meaning a person has stepped onto the shower, to be more clear a guy now how does Win know this do not ask him. He joins the shower too, in his bathroom reaching for his shower gel.
It looks sensual, but it's not exactly that case. What makes Win feel relaxed and makes him wait the whole day is his neighbor's voice, that voice soothes him making him forget all his worries, his anxiousness for what's going to come the next day, and make him focus on what is right now. One must think he's a crazy idiot for waiting the whole damn day just for minutes of bliss, but damned be who all think that way, he has got his man who sings oh so prettily. And the song he sings today, makes him feel like the other guy know what exactly he is feeling and he's trying to cheer him up
I said something on the surface
Well it kinda makes me nervous
To say that you deserve this
And what kind of God would serve this
We would cure this dirty old disease
Well, if you gots the poison
I've gots the remedy
The remedy is the experience
This is the dangerous liaison I says
The comedy is that it's serious
Win starts singing along, lathering his shower gel onto his body, tapping his feet to the ground already feeling better hearing his voice
This is a strange enough new play on words I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend The rest of your nights with the light on So shine the light on all of your friends Well it all amounts to nothing in the end And I won't worry my life away Hey hey hey, oh oh I won't worry my life away Hey hey hey, oh oh Well I heard 2 men talking on the radio
In a cross-fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
Well they were counting down the ways to stab a brother in the Be right back after this
The unavoidable kiss
With the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast this catastrophe
Dance with me
Well if you gots the poison, I gots the remedyThe remedy is the experience
This is the dangerous liaison (I says)
The comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
Well it all amounts to nothing in the end
They sing along to the song forgetting about anything and everything, a smile plastering on their faces which no one can see and, Win hears the other person speak for the very first time in his two years of this routine he didn't exactly talk something to Win it's more like talking in a hurry which was "Holy shit!" yeah, that's not exactly what Win had dreamt of their first talk to happen but "Shit, my noodles are burning. I gotta go real quick" the other guy says and Win hears the shower nob turning off.
Win thought he could share the dinner he bought but, decided it would be too weird to be showing up at his neighbor's place. If he thinks about it he has never dated anyone simply because he has no time sparring or pursuing people, he was always busy working even on holidays, and look where that had gotten him. With the newborn confidence and the urge to change his life a little, he had decided to be creepy and offer the neighbor his food.
The idea sounded way better in his head now, he's contemplating his life decisions standing with a bowl of food in his hand taking so much time than an average person should take to ring a doorbell. He thought he'd just ring the doorbell, leave the food with a note and run as fast as light back to his apartment. That idea was thrown out of the window when the door in front of him swung open Win's life flashing before his eyes and wide when he sees a guy, a quite handsome guy at that running his hands frustrated in his hair probably because these noodles got burn and he had to go out this late in the night and the guy looks surprised too and a little startled who wouldn't when you open the door and there's already a person standing there, (Creepy!) before a shy smile forming on his lips as if this guy has known Win for a long time. Well, they do but not exactly at the same time.
There stand two men looking at each other with a shy smile, ears red from embarrassment and just bathing in each other's faces, there was no need to introduce themselves after two long years of singing duets and making each other day, here they are finally looking at each other, both not wanting to break the moment at all. But, again there's always an idiot who ruins it "Are you two gonna just stare at each other?" it's the grandma, and Win never wanted to kill her not even when she ruined his sleep every day for the past 9 years and so he glares at her. As he did this, he hears a beautiful laugh his heart doing a little bumpy boomp, and decides not to kill the old woman.
"Please come in!" the neighbor says moving a little from the door a smile never his lips, lips those looks so damn kissable Win has never seen a man's lips looking that good and so he had to fight the urge to say that out loud and maybe stop staring at his lips. Win nods not scared of uttering his thoughts and walks into the room like a programmed robot setting his thoughts straight and when he gets a hold of himself he's already sitting on the couch which he doesn't remember doing.
"Right! So sorry to be showing up out of the blue like that, didn't mean to be creepy or something. I heard... your noodles got burnt? So, I thought I'd give you some food." Win rambles placing the container on the near table drawing shit on air with his hands to explain himself. "It's alright! I was just heading out for food, I shouldn't have even tried doing something in the kitchen in the first place" the neighbor says shyly scratching at the back of his head.
"Well, here have this, and uh... I'll be leaving I don't want to impose on you," Win says standing up don't want to leave but he doesn't want to come out as a creep. "Thank you so much for the food, and no you are not imposing anything. Please, you're free to stay maybe we can eat together?" the neighbor says doesn't want the other guy to be leaving so soon.
"If you are okay with it, I guess I'll stay then?" Win says unsure yet his legs walking as of they have a mind of their sitting on the couch. "Let me get the utensils, we can watch TV," the neighbor says smiling and hurrying to the kitchen Win mutters 'Cute' under his breath and the neighbor stands still turning around and facing Win and for a hot second there Win thinks he must've heard him and he thinks he is a creep, but he was faced with a face that is red with embarrassment or shy "Oh, what is your name by the way?" he asks and Win breaths a sigh of relief
"I'm Win Metawin"
"And I'm Bright Vachirawit"
A/n: I know I have to be updating the other fics, but couldn't help writing this fluff. I kinda want to leave the ending like this "like the rest is history" kind of a thing but I'm too greedy hehe. I might write another chapter to this. Let me know your thoughts in the comments should I write it or leave it as it is now?
