Double Take

Alive

3rd person's pov :

Beam blinks early in the morning with the sound of guitar playing. He looks at his side only to find Forth wearing a tank top on his study table .. tunning peacefully with his guitar.

A soft smile appears on his face. Today he feels like he was indeed jealous of Pha and Kit in his future life. He realised his mistake when he had no way to correct it.

With aging he realised he wanted a lover too. He needed someone to go back, to hold , to be held. He wanted all of those things that Pha and Kit had.

Maybe, it was from that desire when he met Forth before Pha and Kit, he wanted Forth all for himself.

"Good morning , sleeping beauty."

Beam looks back at Forth "good morning... what song is this ...?"

Forth tunes his guitar with a smile ...

"C′est drôle, je ne sais pourquoi
Ça m'fait toujours penser à toi

Pour plein d′aut' gens, c'est la magie L′amour, les baguettes, Paris .."

Beam walks beside Forth slowly as Forth hums the lines in a soft voice.

Forth smiles "how is it ?"

Beam sits beside Forth "why didn't you sing it in campus moon ? You could have won."

Forth laughes out loud "I just won hearing this from you. Let's get ready or you will be late .."

"It's Saturday. I want to stay home besides we already know about our classes." Beam sruggs.

"No .. I want to go college today. Let's introduce ourselves as a couple to our friends. I want to see their faces. I got The Beam Barame."

Beam rolls his eyes "I am not the cassanova Beam Barame in this life. So, nobody would care."

"Oh dear , Casanova or not. You are still Beam Barame. Diamond doesn't lose it's charm because it's broken." Forth compares excitedly.

Beam hits Forth on the shoulder lightly "who is broken here ..."

..............

"Guys , why are you not listening to me ? I told We are boyfriends now. Me and Beam,.we are dating each other." Forth repeats again.

Pha stays silent and continues to eat his food. Kit only shakes his head in disbelieve.

Lam laughes.

"They all are jealous." Beam places two bowls of ramyen on their table. One for Forth and one for himself.

Lam laughes out loud this time.

Forth pouts.

"We already know Forth. We know since first year when Beam behaved rudely with us because of you." Pha opens his mouth finally.

"We were not couple back then." Forth protests. Why their friends are not getting that he and Beam. Beam is his boyfriend now. The straight as arrow Beam who was way out of his league.

"Yeah yeah ... yet he was so insecure that he didn't even introduce us to you. Beam behaved like we were going to snatch you from him. Kit taunts.

"That was not the reason." Beam protests this time "I behaved rudely because I just found out that Forth was a better friend than both of you.

"If that's what makes you sleep." Pha states with an eye roll "anyways, since you guys are officially announcing your relationship today then we demand party.

Kit's eyes lit up "Partyyy .."

Lam sits straight too "today is Saturday, weekend ... it's go to "High heels"..."

"No .. not in bar." Beam shakes his head.

Pha nods too "I want to bring To too. Not in bar."

"Yo is an adult Pha." Lam informs Pha.

"I know but not in bar. Let's visit a good restaurant and have double dates ..." Pha suggests .

"Double date ? Forth , Beam and you and Yo ? What about me ?"

"He means a we all can bring our lover. Mutual date ?" Lam frowns to find a exact term.

"Ok ... then I will be there with Ming. But whom are you gonna bring Lam ?"

"Park ." Both Forth and Beam replies to Kit.

Lam widens his eyes "eww..  he is not my boyfriend."

Forth grins "not yet dear ... not yet."

.................

Beam stands in front of Forth wearing a sky blue three quarter sweatshirt and white jeans "how do I look ?"

"Just like my boyfriend." Forth grins as he rolls his sleeves upto his elbow. He is wearing a navy blue T shirt and black pants.

"You do look like a ceo, you know ?" Beam asks eyeing Forth up and down.

Forth spins his car key on his finger "I am a ceo of future , dear."

"Stop calling everyone dear." Beam scolds as he locks their dorm room.

"Come on ... are you still angry with it ? Lam is like my brother."

You called Pha dear other day." Beam argues "you have a habit of calling everyone dear. Are they your lover ? I remember it from past too."

Forth sighs "ok ok ... fine . I will only call you dear. Is that ok ?"

Beam scoffs "let's go. We are already late. Everybody will be waiting for us."

.................

"Yes Pha ?" Beam recieves Pha's call as Forth drives through the road.

"........."

"We are on the way. You guy order the starters. We need to cross the bridge. We will be there in ten minutes."

".........."

"Oh ... order chicken lettuce wraps for me and chicken satte for Forth."

"No peanut sauce.." Forth adds from the side.

"Yes, Pha....no peanut sauce."

".........."

"Forth , Pha is asking any other sauce you want to add ?"

Forth looks at Beam "umm.... no .."

Beam nods "ok pha . No sauce . You guys start, we are coming."

Beam cuts the phone call. "We are late."

"Ceo is always late. Only employees come first." Forth jokes.

Beam laughes "shut ...... aaahhahhh Fortttthhhhh..."

Beam shouts as he sees a big truck suddenly enters in the one way road. Forth turns steering wheel as first as he can ... but the truck came closer ...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh........"

Beam blinks slowly. He hears the sound of ambulance from far. He tries to focus his vision but he can only see the feet of people. Where is Forth ?

Beam slowly raises his hand from the ground. His eyes fall on his bloodified hand.

He hears the shouting above him.

"One is alive. One is alive. Here ... here ...."

(A/n : I am alive too.

If you are thinking that I am busy about other stories and don't care about this one then you are wrong.

I care about this story the most because this story doesn't come with the flow. I have it in my brain but I am struggling to put words to describe this story.

Like I want to say something wonderful but I don't know what !

Anyways, one is alive 🙂)
