Build can't believe he will go tonight to a charity gala with Jeff, he is nervous. He trusts him, yet he is scared to not fit there. As he is busy thinking about the event, he takes time for him to understand that someone is at his door.

Build : Hi ! Is it for me ?

?? : I have a package for Build Jakapan Puttha. Can you sign there and take this please ?

Build : Sure ! Thank you !

He closes his door with the big package in his arms and he puts it on the living room table. He is excited to open it so he takes his scissors really quickly in his kitchen before he comes back with it. He opens it carefully, until he looks at the box and he is shocked by the view he has. It's a beautiful suit, with shoes and even accessories. Everything is there for the charity gala. He can't wait anymore, so he goes to his bathroom with everything and he wears the outfit.

Build : Is it really me ? I'm hot.. It's my size !

Without thinking much, he takes his phone to send a text to Jeff.

Build : "Thank you Jeff. It's perfect. "

Jeff : "I'm glad you like it. See you later cutie."

Build jumps on his bed, he feels joy as he stares at the ceiling. His mind is overwhelmed by his imagination. He knows it's their revenge plans, on the other hand, he likes to share his time with Jeff. He remembers very well how he was already impressing with him in college.

One day, he saw him playing guitar and he heard his sweet voice, he was fascinated by him, yet he was too shy to talk to him. Now, he has the chance to be close to him. Perhaps he could ask him to play and sing only for one when they will be alone somewhere ? Even if he wants to imagine what it would be like to be with a nice guy as he is, he is scared to be hurt again.. To suffer alone.. Bible destroyed him, at first he thought he was a good guy too and after what he made him do it was not the case.

He sighs loudly, he messes up his hair with his hands, he is frustrated to be tormented when he is alone. He can hide his feelings behind his smile, but he can be rough sometimes. Jeff calms his mind when he is with him. He takes off his outfit to put it back in the box carefully and he decides to take a warm bath to relax.

His soft skin becomes red because of the hot water, Build closes his eyes to erase every painful thought he can have. He stays in the bathtub for a while, until finally he gets out. He wants to have a walk, he is not the style to bother his friends. Otherwise, it would make them worry for nothing. Suddenly, his phone rings from his room so he runs towards.

Tong : Hello Build ? What are you doing ?

Build : Hi ! Nothing. I get ready to go out.

Tong : Great ! I want to try a new coffee shop with cats. We can meet there ?

Build : Sure ? Send me the address. When do you want us to be there ?

Tong : As soon as possible !

Build : Alright.. I will do my best..

Tong : Thank you ! You're the best !

Build finds him funny, he didn't know he would have a friend like him before. It was in college after his break up that they became close, Tong was like a big brother to him even if he was older only by a few years. He dresses up as fast as he can, he doesn't want to be scolded plus he really likes cats. More than one time, he thought about having his own cat, but he was afraid to not make it happy when he can't even do that for himself.

He leaves his apartment, after knowing the address he decides to take a bus to go there since it's not that far from his house. He puts his headphones to play some music, that way he can be on his own bubble. It needed five songs before he gets out of the bus to walk to the cat coffee shop. He is not surprised at all to see his friend already here. He puts away his headphones in his bag before he walks towards Tong, who hugs him as soon as he reaches him.

Tong : Hurry ! It's paradise inside !

Build : Don't worry, cats will still be there.

Tong doesn't really listen to his friend and brings him inside as a child so excited to be Christmas. An employee makes them sit around two cats sitting near their table. Build approaches them carefully, he knows they need time and he doesn't want to force them. The answer is positive, he starts to caress their head with a big smile on his lips. That's when Tong takes a picture without him knowing and he puts it on his social media.

Tong : Wow

Tong : Wow.. So cringe...

Build : What ?

Tong : I posted a picture of you with cats and Jeff said "A cutie kitten surrounded by his own. Want to hug them. 🤭"

Build : Really ...? He wrote that..?

Tong : Stop to play with your hair like a teenage girl in love for the first time please.

Build : Shut up.. You're saying nonsense.. Let's order some drinks.. What do you want ?

Tong : Are you shy ? That's cute. You deserve to be truly loved by Jeff or someone else that can be close to you too. Anyway, I want this catpuccino. It's so adorable.

Build and Tong have fun, taking pictures of each other with cats. They talk about anything, Tong has this power to jump from one topic to another unrelated and it makes interesting every moment in his company.

Build : Oh my god... It's getting late, I need to head back to be ready for tonight !

Tong : What ? But it has been only one hour and half.. You can't leave me like that.. Why ? Do you have plans tonight ?

Build : I'm truly sorry but I need to go. Yes, I have plans and I will tell you more tomorrow. Good bye Tong !

Build leaves fast as he can because he learnt before that his friend will find any excuse possible to make him stay and he really can't. He made a promise to Jeff plus he wants to go there to discover a new world with his ally.
He calls a cab, it would be faster that way. He has one hour to be ready, it's enough to be perfect for his "date". He is nervous as it's a real date.
