Cute Boy [PhayuRain] [Love In The Air]

16: ...BATHTUBS...

Rain strips out of his soggy clothes and gets into the tub.

He finally relaxes as he puts his head back and lets the warm water float away the chill.

All he had wanted was to see Phayu and tell him that the professors had praised him for his work. He had done it.

The thought hadn't even crossed his mind in all the time that he was waiting to tell anyone else- not his parents, not Sky, no one. Only Phayu.

Rain realizes that Phayu has become the most important person in the world to him. His heart races when he sees Phayu, and all he wants is to spend time with him.

He finally admits that what he is feeling is love.

Even though Phayu teases him mercilessly, he also showers Rain with kindness and shows that he cares about his well-being and future.

Rain would have to be made of stone to not fall for that.

Oh, and let's not forget how freaking hot he is, thinks Rain with a secret smile as he envisions his stunningly handsome face and incredible body.

Rain blushes as he thinks about it.

As if his thoughts have conjured him up, Phayu strides back into the bathroom.

"P'Phayu, I'm bathing here!" Rain says, surprised.

"I know, Rain," he says with a little smile as he starts stripping off his clothes.

Rain could do nothing but stare as Phayu's naked body is revealed to his gaze.

WOW! thinks Rain. My imagination didn't do him justice..., as his eyes slowly took in the rippling muscles, cut abdomen, sturdy, sinewy thighs, and manly legs covered with a sprinkling of soft dark hair.

His breath hitches as his eyes trail back to Phayu's groin. His penis is large even in its current non-erect state. Rain is a little embarrassed when he thinks about his skinny, soft body and, most embarrassingly, his penis. He had never thought too much about his size because it seemed perfectly fine for his body. But now, seeing Phayu's, made him feel a bit intimidated.

"P...P'Phayu...what are you doing?"

Phayu climbs into the bathtub and sits down facing Rain.

"I'm taking a bath."

"You should go to another bathroom." Rain says in a slightly panicked voice.

"I got wet as well. If I don't wash up quickly, I'll get sick too."

"Then go wash up in another room!" Rain says.

Phayu brings them close together and interlaces their legs.

"Naughty boy. You always make my heart stir."

Rain tries to wiggle away, but Phayu pulls him by his waist and says softly but firmly into his ear, "Stay still!"

The command sends a shiver through Rain's body—a good shiver. The tone makes him melt against Phayu, calming the build-up of anxiety about what is unfolding.

Phayu kisses him.

"Rain." Phayu takes his hands.

"I'm sorry about today.

Sorry that I let my phone battery die.

Sorry that you couldn't reach me.

I'm sorry for coming late.

I'm sorry that I made you sit out in the rain for hours," Phayu says.

"I'm sorry, Rain," he says again as he tenderly strokes back the hair flopping wetly onto Rain's face and wrapping his hand gently around his neck.
