Wines And Guns

37.

Kinn was holding 2 huge plastic bags in his hands with Nick following closely behind him with his usual plain but alert expression. He asked Nick to stand outside and placed both the bags on the floor before he went over to Porsche pulling him into a kiss. The kiss was soft as Kinn simultaneously rubbed his back making him melt into the man's arms.

"You're still working?"

"Thought to do something to pass the time. It was best to finish all the pending work. All the meetings are finished for the day."

"How is she now?"

Kinn turned to look at Namphueng who was still sitting quietly looking distant.

"Better than before. Although she had definitely weakened a bit. There's light bruising on her head due to the sudden collapse but it'll heal soon. I'm trying to feed her small portions of food in intervals."

"I see. Have you eaten anything yet?"

"I had some fruits."

"That's basically nothing. I've got us some food. Let's eat together. Common let's go and sit outside."

"I can't Kinn. I need to be there by her side. The nurses are there but I don't want to leave her alone again".

"Should we just eat in the room then?"

"That sounds good to me."

They both sat talking and eating with eachother. It made Porsche happy to see Kinn so calm and relaxed again. He understood that Kinn was a human with emotions but seeing him distressed always filled his own heart with anxiety. Whatever past he had with Khwan was coming up again and it was obviously very closely tied with his family being broken, being betrayed by the man he loved so dearly and losing his mother. It would overwhelm anyone to be in that situation.

"Porsche?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you okay? You seem distracted".

"I'm just happy you're here now. I missed you all day long."

He brought up his hand placed it on Kinn's face who smiled at his words and moved his face to the side to kiss and nuzzle his palm. He was now even more filled with dread and rage at the thought of Khwan trying to hurt him. The man usually abused weak points of any person to break them. Just like how he constantly brought up Porsche's breakdown and those old report picture and syringes. He was worse than a coward.

"Porsche... Are you really okay?"

"Sorry. I know I'm zoning out constantly".

"You're doing your best Porsche."

Porsche smiled weakly. They both were going through some awful times simultaneously but it seemed like they didn't have enough time to completely support eachother.

"Sorry again... It's like one problem after another. We just can't catch a break. I understand when it's about work but things haven't been great on a personal level either."

"I know. I've said this a lot of times and I'll keep saying it. You're not alone".

"I know Kinn... And I said that to you!"

"Common even in this moment you want fight about originality!"

"I always like to fight for what's mine".

He got up to gently kiss Kinn's nose.

"You know what.... I promise after this mess is over we'll take a vacation. Away from all this chaos. Just the 2 of us."
