Where Ends Meet ~ KP x LITA ~

Explanation

The group arrived at Phayu's house and filed inside.

"So can you two explain now?" Sky asked.

"Yes, we will." Phayu sighed, sitting down on the couch. The other three followed.

"So first of all, Phayu and I are cousins." Prapai said, getting the minor thing spoken and out of the way.

"Wait what?" Rain's eyes widened.

"Yes, we're cousins, that's not the big thing here. The thing is our family is part of the mafia."

"The mafia?!" Both Rain and Sky exclaimed.

"We don't know whether or not you've heard of the Theerapanyakul family, but, that's our family." Phayu said.

Rain and Sky were in shock but still nodded.

"We were both adopted by our parents when we were little kids and we found out everything about the mafia and our family's history." Prapai said.

"Apparently there is a new ordeal occuring and our parents need us to help them get to the bottom of whatever is happening but we refuse to go back to the compound."

"Why aren't you guys going to go though? Wouldn't it be easier to just help them instead of putting up a fight?" Rain asked.

"It's because we'd rather not be involved in the mafia. It's for our own safety and for you guys now too." Phayu responded.

"Haha we really took after uncle Kim." Prapai laughed. Phayu laughed along with him.

"Okay so, let me get this straight. You both were adopted into the Theerapanyakul family and we're exposed to the mafia at a young age. Now there is something happening within the mafia and your parents need you guys to help them but you don't want to be involved for all of us to be safe?" Sky summarized.

"Exactly that." Prapai responded.

"Why didn't you tell us before?" Rain pouted.

"Because it's dangerous. If you knew about the mafia and they knew about you, who knows what would've happened." Phayu replied, grasping Rain's hands.

"But if you told us before, we would know who to look out for."

"Rain, the mafia doesn't work like that. God forbid any of us get caught up in an ordeal, knowing who to look out for wouldn't do any good." Prapai said, slightly frustrated. The tone of voice making Rain slightly cower back into the couch.

"P'Pai, please refrain from scaring Rain. He's still shaken up from earlier." Sky said, putting a hand on Rain's shoulder.

"But that's the thing, earlier when uncle Vegas pointed his gun at Rain, what if he actually shot him?! The mafia is no damn joke!" Prapai's voice started to raise.

Phayu let go of Rain's hands and stood up, pulling Prapai up with him.

"Prapai, let's go cool down for a minute." Phayu said, dragging his best friend out of the room.

Rain had a sad and slightly scared expression.

"It's okay Rain. He's just worried, you know." Sky reassuringly said as he pulled his best friend into a hug.

"He didn't have to yell about it. It reminded me of when Phayu would constantly yell at me for being stupid all the time." Rain pouted once again, his eyes brimming with tears.

"It's okay, that's just how he is when he's really worried about someone. I understand yelling makes you upset but I need you to understand how worried P'Pai is as well."

"You're just saying that because he's your boyfriend."

"Rain, please don't argue with me like this. He's genuinely worried about all of us. I know P'Phayu is as well."

Rain sighed and rested his head onto Sky's shoulder. "You're right. Sorry."

Sky hugged Rain tighter and ran a hand through the latter's hair. "It's fine Rain."

"And I want you to know, you are not stupid. You actually smart but a little slow sometimes, which is okay."

Rain hummed in response.

Phayu and Prapai

Phayu brought Prapai outside.

"Prapai, please refrain from yelling at Rain. He gets sensitive."

"I know. I'm sorry, I'm just really worried and whe-" Prapai started to ramble.

"Hey, slow down for a moment and breathe." Phayu said, stopping Prapai before he can't stop.

Prapai focused on breathing for a minute before speaking again. "When your dad pointed that gun at Rain, I was genuinely afraid and thought he was going to get shot."

"I know. I was too. Just the thought of it has me upset."

"I just wish that we could have normal lives without any affiliations to the mafia." Tears started to pool in Prapai's eyes.

Phayu pulled him into a hug.

"I wish so too Pai, I wish so too."

"I don't want Sky or N'Rain to be in danger again." Prapai returned the hug.

"I know, I know. Calm down a bit though, okay? To make sure they're safe, you need to think about yourself too." Phayu said, trying to calm Prapai.

"I just don't fucking understand why now of all times there has to be a new ordeal where they want us to get involved." Prapai said through angry tears.

"I don't understand it either, but for now all we can do is not give in to helping them."

Prapai let go of Phayu and started to wipe his tears with the sleeves of his shirt.

"Now let's go back inside. Just apologize to Rain okay?" Phayu said, guiding Prapai towards the door.

Upon walking back into the room, Phayu and Prapai noticed their respective lovers cuddled together and asleep with Rain's head on Sky's shoulder and Sky's head resting on top of Rain's head.

"I feel really bad Phayu. I really didn't mean to yell at N'Rain." Prapai spoke, allowing the silence in the room to break.

"I know you didn't. It's okay Pai." Phayu reassured.

Phayu understood the reason Prapai started to feel worse about the situation. He noticed the dry tear marks on Rain's face.

Phayu spread a blanket across the two boys on the couch. He made sure they both were in a comfortable position before talking to Prapai again.

"It's starting to get late. We should freshen up and sleep." Phayu went upstairs to his bathroom.

Prapai agreed. He kissed Sky on the forehead before going to the guest bathroom to shower.

Whilst in the shower, Prapai hadn't noticed he was getting a call. Once he finished and looked his phone, he saw a missed call from and unknown number. He decided to brush it off as a spam call.

After getting dressed, Prapai went back to the living room to check on Sky and Rain. He just hadn't expected to only see Phayu there.
