FIRSTKHAO

Blue Line (2)

Khao raise his head slightly as he put down both hands that covering his face. And thats when his eyes met First's.

.
.

Both went into silent mode. There's a slight frown on First's face when he saw Khaotung, especially in this state. He doesnt look good, did something happen? —He thought until Khao's voice interrupted him.

"First?" Khao said, he was quite unsure. First didnt say anything as he stare into Khao's currently foggy eyes.

"Are you drunk, Khao?" First asked, his hands reached Khao's body. He tried to help Khao moved into his car. Khao just continued to look at this familiar person, and let him drag his body, basically.

"I said, are you drunk, Khao? Whats your answer?" First asked again while he put Khaotung on the back seat. Khao nodded as an answer.

First closed the backseat door before making his way to the driver seat. He turned to look at Khao, his eyes was scanning Khao from head to toe.

"Do you want a supper?" Which then earned him a nod from Khao. First drove away from that place and only stopped after ten minutes or so at random stall that sells skewers.

He helped Khao get off of the car and sat Khaotung down on a bench before getting them two servings of skewer in a plastic bag. He handed one to Khao, and finally sat next to him.

He saw Khaotung grab one of the skewer and started to eat. Khao was still pretty much drunk, and First didnt want to upset him. So he let him be at the moment.

He too, take one of the skewer and proceed to eat them while thinking to himself.

He was trying to make more money to pay his tuition by driving taxi tonight. And he met his 'friend' out of the blue which to him was quite unbelievable.

Well, to say they were friends is a bit too much. They're not technically a friend, only acquintance that went to the same major in college. Thats it, thats the summary of their relationship. At least thats what people see.

The thing is, First is actually having a crush on Khao for quite a while now. But he's so discreet about it that nobody took a notice of it. He also know that Khao was in a relationship with certain bastard. So, he keep his feeling lowkey, burried in the deepest part of his mind.

To see his Khao in this sorry state enraged him. And the first person he could think of that able to make his Khao like this was that bastard of a senior.

After a while, both had finished their share of skewers. First was still looking at Khaotung, and Khao can feel someone's eyes on him. But both choose to stay silent. First heaves a sigh as he leaned his back onto the bench.

"How do you feel now?" First asked, handing a bottle of water to Khao's side. Khao turned his head and now facing the one beside him. He smiled a bit before saying he's okay. After that, he could see a bit of frustration in First's eyes which makes him a bit puzzled.

In the next second, he felt First's hand on his head, patting his head softly.

"If you want to cry and need someone to wipe your tears for you, i'm here na." First said, it was gently spoken words. Khao strangely can feel the gentleness that the other party want to express.

And right there and then, the tears that wont come out no matter how hard he tries earlier suddenly welled up before it finally burst out. He ended up ugly crying in front of this person who was not so close to him to say the least. He was confused, but he chose to let it go.

This sight pained First so badly, he felt a pang on his chest seeing Khaotung crying like this. He pulled Khao into his embrace and hugs him so tightly. So tight, that a part of him afraid he will make Khao suffocated. His hands caressing Khao's head nonstop until thirty minutes passed and Khao's cried receded.

He let go of Khao as he checking him throughoutly. Feeling that he was no longer in First's embrace, Khao actually feel a bit lost. He looks at First who was already standing, with one of his hand reaching out to him, trying to help him up. And again, Khao just let him do it.

"Lets go? I'll take you home."

**

First will took a glance of Khao from the rear mirror from time to time. He was relieved seeing Khao sleeping on the backseat. He drove slowly, afraid that a slight speed change or bump would woke Khaotung up. This slow and steady car of his eventually arrived at the destination-Khao's condo- after a while.

First parked in front of the condo before he went out, walked to the back seat. He opened the door slowly and there he could see Khaotung still sleeping peacefully. He bends down a bit as his hand reached out to Khao's head and proceed to pat it gently.

"Khao? We're here. Come on wake up, i'll help you to your room." He said. Khaotung opened his eyes slowly and he saw First again. He felt relieved for an unknown reason. He was no longer hangover now after supper and a little bit of sleep. So, without waiting for First to help him, he got out of the car himself while First making way for him.

Khao closed the door behind him and walked to First's side. Both fell into silence, again.

First walked Khaotung to his room, he followed Khaotung closely from behind just to make sure that if ever Khao was about to fall, he can catch him.

They finally reached Khao's room after a little walk. Both First and Khao stopped right at the door. First let out a sigh of relieve now that Khaotung was home safely.

"I'll go now, na. See you at class." First said, he then turned around and about to leave when suddenly he felt someone holds his hand. He stopped on the spot and looks at the hand that hold his. Its Khao's hand for sure.

"Whats the matter?" First asked.

"Stay here, dont leave."

**

Thats how First ended up in Khao's room, in Khao's bed to be precise. He has been trying to sleep for fifteen minutes to no avail.

It was raining all of a sudden outside.
He could feel Khao snuggling to his side which makes his heart about to explode. And he didnt know whether Khao was asleep or not, or why did this fluffball snuggle on him. Perhaps because the temperature dropped due to the sudden rain. First didnt know, he swear.

So, he now no longer forcing his eyes to shut, instead he stare at Khao with his wide eyes open. Khao does seems asleep —First thought. There was an urge to hold Khao's body that First supressed since a while ago, but he lost to his own impulse now, he cant stop his own hand any longer.

"I'm sorry, Khao." He said before he took Khao in his embrace. And thats when Khao's closed eyes suddenly open. Its stare straight to First's eyes. First didnt know why, but Khao's eyes seems a bit foggy. Like when he was drunk, when he is obviously not.

"Kiss me." Khao's voice assaulted First's ears. He froze.

"Kiss me, First." repeat Khao.

"Are you sure you want this?" First asked, he was hesitant. He kept looking into Khao's eyes, and there was no hesitation visible in his eyes. First swallowed his saliva before moving his head closer to Khao extremely slowly.

He tilted his head a bit, soon their lips met. It was a soft kiss, their lips touched and thats it. They looked at each other's eyes, noticing a burning desires at one another. Their lips met once again, but this time it was deeper.

Khao's hands was on First neck, pulling him closer to him. First could feel each and every finger of Khao on his skin burning. Same happened to Khao. First's hands on his body makes him hot in every touch.

The dim blue light of Khao's room and the sound of rain strangely makes them want more of each other. The temperature is no longer low after the long kiss that ends with a smack. A string of saliva was presents in between their open mouth as they tried to breathe some air to fill their lungs.

First went in for a quick peck on Khao's lips. His eyes was resolute. He smiles while locking his gaze at Khao's eyes.

"Go out with me, will you?"
