Take My Heart, will you? (PHAXLAM) (BOYXBOY) (COMPLETED)

Lam

I ran out, after Park. I managed to grab him before he left on his bike.
"Park, can you tell me what the fuck is going on?!?"

Just then my phone pinged. I looked down and realized Beam had sent me a video. It was from the fan page circulating in school. It was of a video of Pha letting loose with very colourful words and the follow up was of Park punching him. Shit!

I looked up at Park who was glaring at me. I could sense his anger. I could understand why he was pissed. Park has always been protective of me. For the longest period I thought he liked me romantically but I realized he just treated me like a brother. He was quite happily but very unsuccessfully trying to pursue Wai. But coming back to this, I gotta admit I was being stunned by the way Pha had reacted. This didn't fit with his classy image at all and my heart very oddly felt a pinch hearing them say those words.

I just looked up at Park who was about to ride off. I stopped him, grabbed him off the bike and switched off his engine. He resisted very very strongly but I sidelined him with a very icy stare. He stopped fighting me. I grabbed him by his wrist and brought him back inside the bar. I saw Pha sitting down there, quietly, quite pale. Beam and Forth were also there but awkwardly silent.

"Pha, I think Park has something to say."
"I'm sorry Park. I shouldn't have said that. I was just.." Before Park could open his mouth, Pha apologised. I looked over at Park, dude was just looking downwards. I smacked his head and he looked up.

"I cannot say I forgive you immediately. That was really rude but I am sorry for hitting you in public."

"You mean you are sorry for hitting Pha right? It doesn't matter where; its not right." I supplied helpfully. Park glared at me whilst Pha looked at me gratefully.

"Don't push it Lam." Park growled at me. I just smiled and forced him to sit down. I sat next to him. Pha was sitting directly opposite me and trying to catch my attention. I just looked at him, smiled gently to mean no ill harm and we eased into an easy camaraderie over the night.

We all knocked off around 1am. Forth dropped Beam off as usual. Park offered to drop me off. I wanted to reject but Park glared at me.

"Okays but give me 2 minutes. I be right back." I jogged over to Pha who was standing in front of his car and about to unlock it.

"Pha.." I started. He was facing the car. "Yea Lam?"
"Are you OK? You know that Park isn't angry with you. He's just a very protective friend."
"I know. I am sorry. I...I didn't mean to say it like that.. I..they were just.. I am sorry Lam."

"Don't be, all is OK. I am not angry. Don't worry. You are my friend. And that's all that matters. And you shouldn't have your orientation cast in doubt over these people. So it's good you put your foot down." I said and chuckled abit softly.

Pha just nodded his head but didn't turn around at all. " You know it's really rude not to look at your friend when he's talking to you.."

I heard Pha snicker a bit but he didn't turn still. I looked at his reflection via his car door and I realized he was crying. I swirled him around only to see him full of tears.

"PHA! what? Why are you crying?!?"

"Cos what I said, is just shit. And anyone heating it would be pissed or upset with me. But you.. are still.. I'm sorry. Really. You have no idea.." I didn't let him complete it. I took him in my arms. I just hugged him tightly, refusing to let him say another word. I thought Pha would push me away but he actually held on.

I just held Pha tightly, shushing away anything he wanted to say. We stayed like that for I dunno how long till I heard someone clear their throat. We broke away, only to catch Park staring at us. I took my leave from Pha, asked him to be safe and left with Park before he killed me.

But as I was going back to the bike, I could not deny I felt my heart go boom boom.
