From Something To Everything (Bounprem)

76. Singing for him

"I think Pao deserves someone better than me." Boun looked at the blue pool in front of him and said in a small voice.

"Exactly me thought. I don't know why that idiot doesn't realize the fact." Fluke shook his head in disappointment.

"I thought you were on my side." Boun pouted as he glared at Fluke.

"I am on Prem's side, Phi. I don't my friend to have an abusive partner."

Boun stared at Fluke not knowing how to defend himself.

"I know everything, phi. He told me everything and honestly speaking, I am not really happy with the way you treat him. yet, he is stubborn that he wants to stay with you. I have no choice but to back him up."

Fluke turned to look at Boun and said in a serious tone. "If I ever find out that you ever raised your hands against him or you forced him to do something against his will, I will crush your bones and feed it to crocodiles."

"Crocodiles don't need the bones to be crushed." Boun mumbled.

"What, Phi?" Fluke found Boun biting his lips as if trying to suppress his laughter. "Do I look like I am joking?"

The look Fluke was giving him, sent Boun shivers down his spine. Hiding the nervousness he felt at the moment, he asked "What if he raises his hand?"

"Then, that just means that you deserved a beating." Fluke shrugged.

"You wouldn't take my side? Biased." Boun tsked. "So, are you here just because you support Prem's decision?"

"Not completely. I kind of understand your situation, why you were like that." Fluke could feel Boun's gave on him. "Didn't P' Kao tell you that I am good at reading people? It's not difficult see what is wrong with you."

"You told him?" Prem finding out about his condition was something Boun feared.

Fluke hummed in agreement. "He needs an explanation to your actions. He deserves to know, phi."

"Wha...What did h..he... say?" Boun shuttered a little.

"Nothing much. He was kind of aware of it since the day your blood results showed the signs of antidepressants in it."

"He Knew???" Boun was shocked. He thought that he had successfully hidden it from Prem.

"Yeah. His doubts were confirmed when you had a breakdown that day."

Boun was lost in his own thoughts.

"If you ever need a little brother to talk to, you can always come to me. I am good at keeping secrets." Fluke's words snapped Boun out of daze. "I could use a big brother as well. P' Kao had already ditched me. Now I need to find another one."

"P' Kao never ditched you. He still loves you so much." Boun defended his cousin.

Fluke sneered "The first person he ditched when he broke up with Earth was me."

Both of them were silent as they watched the small ripples in the crystal-clear water.

"Thanks, Fluke," Boun said in a hoarse voice. Even though he had talked to Ohm, talking to Fluke seemed to have another level of effect on him.

"Hugs?" Fluke spread his arms and Boun leaned in letting Fluke give him a tight hug.

"I don't understand why Pao and Ohm love to hug you," Boun said pulling away.

"Prem loves to hug me out of habit and P' Ohm... maybe... because I am hot?" both of them chuckled.

"Who is hot? What are you guys talking about?" Ohm who had been watching the two from afar for a while couldn't take it any more when he saw them hug.
