"Your hair is pretty soft, I love running my fingers through them really" kongpob commented, smiling at the other through the mirror

Arthit faintly blushed at the compliment before mumbling a small thank you and not meeting the others eyes through the mirror in front of him

Arthit was currently at a saloon, kongpob was his barber in basic terms of speech, arthit had always requested specially at the reception to appoint kongpob for him

Why? Arthit clearly and hopelessly had a crush on kongpob, he was smart, handsome, kind and a perfect gentleman but arthit didn't have the guts to confess

All of arthit's friend group knew about his innocent crush on the other and they tried their best to motivate the other and get him to propose kongpob but he always chickened out at the last moment

Arthit's eyes fluttered close as he let out an inaudible sigh of content as kongpob ran his hands through his hair, checking if the haircut was completed at a good note

The comfort ended as soon as it started with kongpob pulling his hands away making arthit slightly pout

"It's all perfectly done" kongpob grinned

Arthit looked up at his smile and immediately broke into a cute smile himself

"Thank you" arthit replied

"Oh come on, it's my work Art" kongpob shrugged off his shoulders

Arthit felt a whole group of butterflies swarm into his stomach, he loved the nickname the other used to address him, it made him feel that he paid attention to

Arthit proceeded to the counter and cleared his bill, turning back to kongpob he waved at him with his dimpled smile and the other chuckled, waving back, with that arthit walked out

Once the door shut behind him he sighed with his hands stuffed in his pocket, he always promised himself that he would confess his feelings the next time he saw the other, but he just couldn't

"Arthit!" A loud voice interrupted his trail of thoughts

Arthits turned towards the direction of the origin of the sound only to find his friend, Bright running towards him with a smile

Arthit passed him the very same smile as he stood beside him, panting heavily due to all the running

"What's wrong with you?" Arthit asked, patting his back

"I..I thought you had finally decided to propose to him, so did you?" Bright asked, standing up straight with shining eyes

Arthit shook his head in denial, his eyes fixing on the floor again as he kicked a few stones that came in the contact with his leg

Bright stared at his best friend helplessly, arthit could never confess because of his shy nature and Bright really wished for something to happen, it was the very first time that arthit seemed to like someone

"I will just tell him the next time" arthit mumbled

"When? Are you going to sit and wait for your hair to grow long enough to be cut again?" Bright asked, a look of disbelief of his face

"Maybe" arthit replied

"You are an idiot, honestly" bright mumbled

Arthit pouted in response as he walked away with bright following him, trying to convince him to confess to the other, it just seemed impossible

"I can do it, I can do it" arthit repeated to himself like mantra

Arthit had finally decided to confess his feelings for kongpob, it had just been a week since his last visit and so he surely wasn't going for a haircut, he was confident this time

Taking in a deep breath, he walked inside being immediately greeted by the lady at the reception

"Good morning, is Khun kongpob here?" Arthit asked

"Didn't you get your hair cut just a week ago?" The lady asked, raising an eyebrow teasingly

Arthit's cheeks heated up as he looked away, earning a chuckle from the lady

"As much as I want to know why you want to see him, I'm sorry to inform but he doesn't work here anymore" the lady informed

Arthit looked back at her with a confused expression, doesn't work here? Where did he go to? Nonetheless, arthit walked back out, not before thanking the lady

As the cold breeze touched his face, a few tears rolled down his cheek, he was utterly heartbroken, his love story had ended even before it could start

He let out a sigh before beginning to walk away, with slow and heavy steps, kicking the stones on the way, until he heard a loud yell

"Arthit!"

Arthit shrugged it off, the voice belonged to kongpob and what would he be doing here? Arthit assumed it to be a figment of just his imagination until two arms suddenly pulled him away from his path

"What on earth...." arthit's voice trailled off

There he stood, kongpob as he grinned down at arthit whose cheeks were tear stained and expression full of sadness

"Hey, there" kongpob said

Arthit stared at him for a good minute before his lips formed the smallest, cutest pout Kongpob had ever seen

"What are you doing here?" Arthit asked

"I came to meet you, obviously" kongpob replied

"How would you know I was coming today?" Arthit asked, raising an eyebrow at him

Kongpob stepped closer, slowly letting his fingers touch the other's face, he wiped off his tears, taking the other by surprise

"Just, I thought that you might be here" kongpob replied

Arthit didn't reply, his heart beat quickening with every passing second

"So, what were you here to say?" Kongpob asked

Arthit's eyes were fixed on the other's face, never wanting to look away, he was lost in his own world of imagination and blurted out something he never knew he could say in his sane mine

"I love you" arthit mumbled

Realisation hit him and he hit his lips with his hand, shutting his eyes tight until he heard the melodious laugh of the other

Kongpob caressed his cheek with his thumb, biting his lower lip to prevent himself from grinning any wider and hurting his own cheeks

"I love you too, dummy" kongpob replied

I purple you 💜
