Tul sits at his lesson thinking about his previous revelation, wanting to marry P'Waan. This is odd seeing as they had only been together for a few months, not nearly enough time to warrant his sudden need to possess the man. "What is happening to me?" He isn't focused on the teacher or the people around him, so he doesn't know that he said this out loud, loud enough for Win and Dean to hear him. He hears hushed laughter and turns to see the boys looking directly at him and laughing. Really? He makes an annoyed face making it known that he is not in the mood for their antics today, but this doesn't stop them. He sighs, knowing this is karma for all the times he teased and  mocked them about their lives. "Got something to say?"

Dean looks at him faking a smile, "Do you have something to say?" He knows the look on the mans face, he knows because he has seen it on himself and on Win. This can only mean that Tul is getting into the serious stage of his relationship and honestly he is here for it. He cant wait to tease the boy.

Tul runs his hand through his hair, feeling like pulling it out. He decides that since these two has been through this, they should be experts on the subject. "Well, I have an issue. You see when we were watching the grand proposal between Win and Team, I realized in that moment that I want that with P'Waan. Why though? This is not me, I'm not a serious person. Yes I love the man but marriage? And me? I don't know. I cant shake this need to possess him, to make sure he is mine, to make sure that everyone knows he is mine. What is happening to me? Am I losing it? I mean this is P'Waan, he is so hot, great in bed, sexy as hell, intelligent and a bit nerdy." He sighs smiling widely thinking about his boyfriend. He is such a catch, who wouldn't want to have everyone know that he is theirs? Ah no, he shakes himself out of these thoughts and regains his composure. He turns and looks at them just laughing at him again. He bites his cheek to stop from cursing them. "Forget it."

Win looks at his friend, he is so gone. "Since when did this become a husbands club?" He knows this will make Tul mad, and he succeeds, laughing again at the boy. "Listen Bro, what you are experiencing is the next step in your relationship. We all go through this, when you realize that you met the person for you then your need becomes so deep and intense. Its why Dean always looked like he had a stick up his..." Before he can finish he gets smacked in the back of the head by Dean. He looks at him annoyed, "Asshole."

Dean shakes his head at both of these idiots. Will they ever grow up? "What's wrong with how you are feeling? What did you expect though? Did you think that you and P'Waan would just date each other forever? Obviously the more you are with someone then the more your feeling will grow and get deeper. This is a good thing Tul, why are you fighting this?"

Tul thinks about this for a second, why is he fighting this? P'Waan is really everything anyone could ever want and he fought hard to get the man. Its not like he just fell into his lap and their relationship blossomed, when he messed up, he had to make sure that P'Waan knew he was serious and ready. This is what he wanted all this time but something keeps niggling at him and he is embarrassed to say it. He decides to trust his friends though, hoping they would see it from his point of view, "Am I good enough though?" 

Win takes in a breath, looking at his friend now is confusing him. Never has he ever felt insecure or showed it to them. "What the hell? When did you lose your confidence? Are you even Tul?"

Dean nods agreeing with Win, "What's going on Tul? Surely something has to have happened for you to feel this way. We have been friends for a long time and this is the first time that I've ever seen you like this." 

Win stare at Tul trying to understand him, he is pretty good at reading people and looking at the man now, he can see that he is going through what Team did when they got together. "You feel less than because of our family right?" He sees the mans eyes widen and he knows he is right. He sighs, going through this again for the second time, only now its with his best friend. "Tul, we were not rich. This is something that you know, we came from a back ground that was one of struggle. Yes, now we are people who have a lot but that didn't change us in any way. You know this, and you know P'Waan. He is not that type person. My whole family loves and accepts you as a son." He puts his on the boys shoulder, "Team went through this tom, it can be overwhelming but you need to talk to Hia Waan about this." 

"I know this. I know P'Waan is the best and most caring and understanding person in this world but I don't want to put this on him. This is my issue."

"This is not your issue alone. You are not on your own anymore Tul, being in a relationship is about sharing and understanding each other. Trust me when I tell you that your relationship will be so much stronger after this." Dean looks at Win who is nodding agreeing with him, "I know this is new to you but if you are going to try and deal with things on your own then you will be miserable, alone. P'Waan is not a mind reader so he wont be able to help you through these things."

Win nods, "If there is one thing my brother is good at, its being supportive and understanding. He may seem cold and stern but you know better then any of us his true nature. He is much like Dean, showing his soft side only to the people he cares about. They are like coconuts, hard on the outside and soft on the inside." This gains him another slap on the back of the head. "Stop."

"You stop, stop insulting me. We are trying to help our friend here." Dean looks at him annoyed.

Tul watches the two and wonders how in this situation he is the mature one. He sighs and notices the teacher waking towards them, he doesn't let them know and just sits back and watches, smiling. "Are you two done with your playdate? If so, both of you can go over the board and solve the problems on there using the method that I just explained." She crosses her arms and waits for them. They both turn and look at shake their heads at her. She looks really annoyed which makes him snicker, they both turn and look at him, murder on their faces knowing he had let them get into trouble. He smiles even wider at the two, "Pay attention next time." He laughs, the teacher turns and looks at him, "Since you know so much, you can go to the board and solve it." Shit, he really should learn to keep his mouth shut. He watches the two laugh at him, he gives them back the same expression they had for him. He sighs, "I cant wait for this year to end." But he knows deep inside, he would die for these two idiots. Good friends are hard to come by and he is grateful that he won the lottery with his.
