Poles Apart (One-shot/s) [Complete]

The seven year curse : Final

Arthit, " James held both of Arthit's hands in his own " You and Kong have something, people only dream of. What they don't realise is, both of you work hard for it. Cherish it. "

" See you soon..." Arthit uttered, stubbornly glaring at James to refute his statement. James just smiled sadly and turned to his best friend.

" Kongpob..." Kong didn't let him speak, he engulfed him in a hug . They kept murmuring to each other, Arthit couldn't listen but seeing Kongpob's tear filled eyes, his heart broke.

....

" Kongpob .." James tried to say something but Kong hugged him tightly. It was ironic how his brain kept screaming that James leaving was a good thing, but his heart was already missing his best friend.

" I'm sorry " James murmured.
Kong nodded " me too... "

They just hugged, throat clogged, voice choked and chest filled with all the unsaid things.

" Don't disappear on me "

" I will try ..." James said. Breaking their hug, James called Arthit close

" Come here Rojanapat " , he held both Kong and Arthit's hand in his .

" Can you do one thing for me ? Divorce the idea of divorce. " James said " People get jealous seeing your bond. Even I was one of them, what they don't realise is how hard you have worked for this relationship, this bond to grow. You still work hard, to make it work.
They don't see the wait of Arthit, how he had given you space to grow , how he had been that constant positive force pushing you forward.
They don't see the passion of Kongpob's love , who worked day and night not to make profit but make Arthit proud, to be worthy of him.

In a world where people judge each other's worth,  you are raising your own worth still consider yourself not worthy enough for your partner. They don't see the pure regard and respect you give each other.
Just cherish it .

Lastly, " James pursed his lips, his eyes glued to the ground " Thank you for showing me care, love and compassion . "

" That is what friends do..." The pure fire in Arthit's eyes made James laugh sadly " Some people are such that even their own parents can't love them. You are just too pure to see the evil, Rojanapat."

The sky filled with loud whirring of chopper... " Take care na " James waved his hand and turned his back at them, walking away without looking back.

......

Arthit stayed rooted to the spot, even after half an hour has passed since James left.

" Mee Noi ..." Kong grabbed his shoulder " Let's go..."

Arthit clubg to Kong, his face hidden in Kongpob's chest " I thought love was sunshine and warmth. It makes people cone together...but it wrenched us apart, I am not liking this ugly side of love, Kongpob."

" Love is not warm or cold Thit. It just is, We make it good, bad or ugly. We have been taught that love must be reciprocated. When it doesn't,  We don't process the ache. We don't try to understand that there was always a chance that the person doesn't love us, or will fall out of love.
But, isn't it great to be able to love someone ? To nurture them, take care of them without gains?  We never celebrate the greatness of being able to love someone. "

" But James— "

" Had finally decided to move on, to heal himself , to love himself — "

While Arthit knew all this was TRUE, he didn't comment, his brain was just not able to process it.

......
Kong knew Arthot will take much longer to process the truth and he was ready to support his love of life at every step.

But, Arthit recovered a lot earlier than he thought .
