Just A Toy Car, Watching People In Love

Toy Car's POV

I can already hear Rain's voice rambling around even before the door is clumsily slammed open. Judging from the way Rain is slurring his words, and that he can barely stand upright without Payu's assistance, I think it is safe for me to assume that the boy is completely wasted right now. I briefly remember them planning about going out to celebrate Rain's graduation with some friends anyway, I guess that's exactly where they have just gotten home from.

"Phi Payu, be careful! The floor is spinning around!"

I hear Payu chuckles fondly as he slowly guides his younger lover to the bed, settling him down to sit at the edge of it. I totally understand Payu's amusement though. Rain is such a big rambler even when he's sober. But drunk Rain is a whole different level, I have seen. He talks a lot, and about the most nonsensical thing one could ever think of.

"Nothing is spinning, Rain. You just had too many drinks."

I know Payu is generally a polite and soft spoken person in general, but I swear on all four wheels I have on my body that Payu's voice turns ten times sweeter when he's speaking to Rain. If I had teeth they would have been rotten by now considering the amount of time I have spent watching them in this room.

Anyway, back to my observation.

Payu has lowered himself down to kneel on the floor before Rain. His gentle hands are undoing the buttons of Rain's shirt one by one while he keeps his gaze on the boy's face. I peep a pout forming on Rain's face, lips pursued like a pair of beaks.

"Phi Payu, I told you I'm not drunk!"

I roll my imaginary eyes at the rebuttal. That's what every drunk would say.

Payu only shakes his head and proceeds to shrug the shirt off of Rain's body, which Rain doesn't protest, much to Payu's relief. Rain has also behaved well when Payu gets him out of his jeans too, leaving him only in his underwear.

"Alright, Mister Not Drunk." Rain giggles when Payu playfully boops the tip of his nose.

"Get comfy in the bed, I'll be back with a cup of water for you."

Rain does as he's ordered, albeit a little wobbly with his movements. He crawls further into the bed, though he has miscalculated his position and accidentally settles too far up the bed. So when he leans back to lay down, his head hits the bedframe with a loud thud, making even me roll back a few centimeters from where I am originally placed.

"Owiee..." The poor boy curls up in pain like a shrimp, hand covering the back of his head. The sound must've been loud enough because when Payu returns back, he's straight up charging towards Rain with concern painted all over his face.

"Clumsy baby. Are you okay?"

"Meanie bed, that hurts!" Rain has tears pooling at the corner of his eyes when he looks up at Payu. His lips wobble for an extra effect. Partly because it does hurt, but the other half is probably just him exaggerating it so he can have Payu coddling him.

I know very well that Payu is trying so hard not to laugh at his boyfriend right now. In fact I think he reaches out to hug the poor boy and caresses his head soothingly just to hide an amused smile under the pretense of comforting him. Regardless, the action manages to soothe the boy, stopping his tears from falling.

I watch as Payu makes Rain drink from the bottle he has brought into the room, and then helps him to settle down under the blanket. Payu slides himself under the same blanket soon after, once he has changed to a more comfortable sleepwear, that is. Rain wastes no time to roll over towards his boyfriend and snuggle up to his side; his head resting on Payu's chest, right above his heart so he can hear every beat of Payu's heart, and his arm draping loosely around Payu's torso.
