Love me Like you Do

The bright light from the window hit his face as he tried to roll, he fell off the sofa. New blinked and looked around the silent house. Gun has left. That was his rule, when New wanted to be in Gun's life, he had already stated that New should not ask him to marry him. Pinching the bridge of the nose, he went to the rather clean room to look for the evidence that the guy didn't really leave him. The small silver ring was still in the box and the box was still on the table. He walked past the table fast to open the cupboard as a sigh left his soft lips, Gun's dresses were still in the cupboard.

Taking his dress for the day from the cupboard he went to the bathroom for the shower. His mind filled with the regret of bringing the marriage topic to Gun. When he opened the bathroom door , he had flashes of what happened in the past. The wet floor is where he found Gun with his wrist slashed and shower pouring on his unconscious body.  That was the day of Off and Gun's wedding anniversary. It happened two and a half years back but still New's toe curled in fear as he could still feel the blood under his legs. That day he carried Gun and rushed to the hospital like a madman. So he wanted to hit himself against the wall for bringing the most hated topic of Marriage to him.

Gun was walking slowly with a little bag along the beach road watching the waves hit the rocks along the shoreline. It calmed him down. The beaches are the reason he never left this town whatever happened. Walking from his house to the cafe shop was one of his favourite, whatever may cause the sadness in his life the beaches will make up for it. He hated how New bought the topic of Marriage but he doesn't hate Newwie for it. He wouldn't claim it as he loved New more but he is grateful to New for putting up with him. He wanted to make it clear to him, he doesn't want to give hope to the poor guy who has nothing but unconditional love for him. He doesn't want Newwie to resent him.

Most of the time he would walk past the cafe in a trance but not today. Today something caught his eyes in front of the cafe. A familiar Green colour car, was parked in front of the cafe. His heart drummed loud in his ears, he walked towards the car and peaked into it to see the most handsome man sleeping awkwardly. His face resting on the window and little saliva staining the sides. He must be tired. A small red hue spread across the little soft cheeks. He remembered the times he would stare at the bare handsome face of the man lying next to him when he woke up early.

A little movement on the back seat caught his eyes. A panic set in as he saw Arm staring at him wide eyed. Blinking he cleared his mind and knocked the car window alerting the already waking man.

Off's sleep was always restless. Even a small pin dropping could wake him up. But whenever he had Gun in his arms he had the deep sleep, ofcourse the night activities would tire him out but having Gun in his arms he would always feel safe, that he had nothing to lose and everything is in his arms.

Getting out of the car, both of them yawned and stretched their tired bodies.

"What are you guys doing here?"

Before Off could open his mouth Arm answered.

"We are here for a little business"

Nodding Gun replied, "but I asked you what are you doing in the car? Not what you are up to"

Arm: we couldn't find a place to stay so we stayed in the car...............  How are you, Gun?

Gun: huh? Do you know me?

Arm and Off looked at each other, as Off opened his mouth to say something

Gun: Did Tay tell you guys about me?

Gun giggled a little "Tay is sweet like that, he always talks about me to everyone"

He heard the stomach growl of the two young men in front of him and chuckled " you guys seem to be hungry, come inside I will make something to eat"

Arm and off stealled glances at each other in embarrassment and Arm walked off towards the cafe leaving some gap between him and the other two. Off eyed Gun from top to bottom he was wearing a worn out black shirt and jeans which was also equally worn out and a very old bag, leathers coming apart.

"Gun~" before Off could say anything

Gun: you have a weird color car...

Off looked back at the most expensive car in the world in the silly color as a small smile spread across his lips.

"It's my husband's favourite colour"

Saying it he glanced at Gun who was staring at him.... Smiling Off walked away leaving him standing there with a drumming heartbeat.

Arm: hey the shop is closed.

Blinking away and calming his heartbeat Gun walked to the door fishing out the keys from his pocket. Not looking at them he opened the door asking them to sit he went to the back side to keep his bag and wore a baby pink aprom over and walked out with a small note to take orders.

Off and Arm looked at the menu as Gun stood next to them...

Off: I want a strong coffee with no sugar and no milk. And whatever you can cook up fast.

Arm: same for me too.

Within a few minutes Gun placed the coffee and a bowl of noodles in front of them....

To keep up doing his works and not to get the sleep he needed so that he won't get the nightmare of Gun leaving him over and over again Off started drinking his coffee strong, the caffeine in his system keeps him awake, but he was not always like that he liked sweet things, he liked his coffee sweet in the past...

Arm's face changed eating the bland noodles and the coffee. But he didn't have any choice...

"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS STILL DOING HERE?"

An angry Tay walked towards them as Off was eating the noodles slowly and Arm looking little hurt by Tay.

Off: can't you see we are eating? Is this how you treat your customers?

Tay: ya I don't want you as my customer so now pay up and leave here.

Off: how much...

Tay looked at the plates and the guys "2000 baht"

Arm spit the coffee on Off's face hearing the rate for this simple breakfast...

"What? Don't you guys want to pay? It's ok!! Just get out?"

Off: no I will pay and I will even reward to the person who made my breakfast....

Arm: psst.... it's not even that good Off, the noodles were bland not spicy, no sauce no vegetables and he didn't even prepare the coffee as you asked, added milk and sugar in it can't even keep it my mouth. And you want to reward him?

Tay: yes please don't even pay and just get out

Arm: shut up Tay...

Tay looked at the irritated face of Arm who doesn't even want to glance at him.

Off: yes the noodles was bland no sauce or no vegetables and the coffee was not as how I ordered it but it was prepared exactly like how I like it. So yes I will pay whatever you charge and no iam not going out....

He watched the kitchen door open as his chest felt right seeing the beautiful smile of his love for someone else.

"Tay you came early" he smiled brightly at him, the eye reaching Dimple smile that would calm even a raging war.
