Mini-ones! :)

The culprit?!

It was a routine for Kongpob to stay at Arthit's apartment from Thursday to Monday, most of the weeks, so that they could spend as much time as they could squeeze in, together. Arthit would pick him up every Thursday evening and they would walk back home, after dinner.

Both their schedules were super hectic as the elder one had already started working and the younger one was now, the head hazer. Kept on their toes most part of the day, they had tried their best to accommodate each other, into their lives.

They had a schedule, to complete the domestic work around living together. The elder one was in charge of grocery shopping and cooking, whereas the younger one was in charge of cleaning and laundry. They settled into a comfortable flow, which trickled down into the thoughts of moving in together, permanently. But they had to wait for another year, before they could decide, since Kongpob would be busy this year.

One Friday, when Kong didn't have much to do, he streched on Arthit's couch, looking through their old pics. When it was almost time for dinner, he heard the code being punched into the lock, and his smile grew, readying himself to greet the love of his life. "I'm home!" Arthit said cheerfully. He was so happy to come home to Kong, especially after a tiring day.

They hugged each other a brief moment and together said "I can't wait to do this every day!".

After freshening up, Arthit walked out of his room, to find Kong smiling at his phone "What are you looking at?" Arthit asked, putting the groceries in its respective boxes.

"Our old pics, Phi...look at us! Oh..you are wearing the same tee today!" he giggled pointing out how much has changed between them, yet everything was still the same.

Arthit just shook his head with a smile, thanking his stars, for sending such a beautiful soul into his life. He went back to cooking, leaving Kong to entertain himself.

"Now that I look at the picture, I don't remember where I kept this blue t shirt." Kong said, pointing at himself, in the pic he was looking at.

But Kongpob soon gave up his thoughts, thinking the t shirt could be in his dorm. Since Kongpob had to shuttle between his dorm and their apartment, he couldn't keep a track of his clothes. He just made sure he had 2 pairs of his uniform in both his dorm room and their apartment, so that he didn't have to worry about it.

On a Tuesday, after about 2 weeks, when Kong was in his dorm room, he found the blue t shirt he was looking for and was instantly happy, as it smelled like his boyfriend. He wore it that day, when he went out with his friends for dinner with a grin plastered to his face, since he could still smell his Phi, on his tee.

"Stop smiling like a psycho, Kong!" Tew said.
"Isn't he already one?" Wad added.
"I knew it since the moment he said P'Arthit looks cute. Now he's probably in the last stage." M said, shrugging his shoulders.

Kong didn't bother to respond to them but just continued to eat and drink, already thinking about the late night video call he would be having with his beloved.

"Hi Phi! How was your day today?" Kong asked.

"It was alright, love! How was yours?" Arthit asked back.

"It was good, Phi. I went out for dinner with my friends after a long time." Kong said.

"Oh..that's good. Glad you enjoyed. Hey! You found the t shirt you were looking for?" Arthit asked, with a suprise.

Kong swiftly nodded his head, happy that his boyfriend paid attention to even the small things they spoke and said "Guess what?! It smells like you!!" with the widest smile he could muster.

Arthit could feel his face heating up but simply smiled back, trying his best not to show how much that sentence affected him.

The next 2 days went in a blur, since they both were busy - their interactions limited to video calls and texts. They both were looking forward to Saturday, since they decided to watch a movie that day. They decided to meet at the theatre directly, as Kong had some work in the morning.

"Hi love!" Kongpob said, putting his arms around Arthit. "You are wearing our couple hoodie! I wonder where mine is" Kong said, thinking a little too loudly.

"I just picked up whatever I could reach first, Kong. Now let's go before we are late" Arthit said, chuckling at Kong's daze.

They went back home, after the movie and ended up making love before going to bed, because they wouldn't be meeting the next week, because of Kong's schedule.

While leaving on Monday morning, Kongpob purposely left his brown tshirt in Arthit's closet, for his Phi to snuggle into, when he's not around. He knew his boyfriend loved doing it, whenever he missed him.

When Arthit came home that Thursday, he was grumpy to find an empty house and stomped his way into his room. But his mood was considerably better, when he came out wearing Kongpob's t shirt. "He's so thoughtful!" Arthit smiled.

A week without meeting stretched into three, since both of them had certain emergencies to be dealt with. They were missing each other a lot and couldn't wait to meet. The Thursday of the 3rd week, Kongpob rushed as soon as he could, to his room, to pack and get ready, to their apartment.

Arthit was supposed to pick him up at 5pm, at his dorm and it was 4.20pm already. Kong literally ran back, to his room. On reaching his room, he found the key dangling on the lock - the key he had shared with his love, so that he can walk in whenever he felt like. Elated that his Phi is already here, he opened the door as quietly as possible, to suprise his boyfriend.

But before he could make a sound, he heard Arthit talk to himself...sniffing Kong's clothes.

"This one has a faint smell....this one has a very strong one. I'll take this one then...Phew! I was almost caught that day..when he suddenly remembered about his blue tshirt. I am surprised he hasn't noticed yet..but I am happy about it too!"

"Hello, there!" Kong said, with a raised eyebrow, when Arthit turned around, eyes threatening to fall off its sockets.

"Kong! I can explain!" He said sheepishly, scratching his nape.

"So this is where my tshirts have been running off to?" Kong asked his Phi.

"I have been doing this for the past 7 months. I am surprised you caught me only now!" Arthit said, with a hint of pride.

"No wonder all my missing tshirts always smelt like you! You could have just asked me for it na Phi!" Kong said, shaking his head at his boyfriends antics.

"Where is the thrill in that!" Arthit retorted, giving Kong a slight nudge in his arm, when they settled into each others' arms.

"Another few months, Phi..then we can just move in together!" Kong said, dreamily.

"I really can't wait!!" Arthit responded, never wanting to let go of his boyfriend.

*The end*
