17 Months After the Discussion

Pansri, sitting beside Phusikt and Arthit, watched fondly as Beam, Kit and Phana held hands with Wayo, and moved on to another ride that looked like something from the Stratrek movie. She felt dizzy just watching the ride zoom around like that. Nevertheless, the kids were enjoying the theme park a lot. Bright and Farm were off somewhere doing their own thing. The coupe always disappeared during their group outings, almost sneaking away, and Pansri had learned not to question them.

Meanwhile, Viraj and Kongpob had gone off to grab them all some drinks as the Sun was now shining brightly above them. It was the latters idea as he saw his husband's cheeks flush red due to the heat. Over the course of time, Pansri had realized that Wayo resembled Arthit a lot in appearance. Both had pale glowy skin and fluffy cheeks and both really did blush bright red instantly. Whenever anyone one of them praised the little boy, Wayo's cheeks would immediately tinge pink and he would give them a soft smile, preening. It was frankly adorable. He was a well-behaved and smart child, and all the adults had gotten really attached to him rather quickly.

Pansri was proud of how Phana and Wayo had dealt with the bonding and were now comfortable in the situation. The weekly meets in the initial months had helped the bond immensely. Lately, the boys could go without meeting for over 15 days comfortably, only talking on phone a few times. They all had discovered this when during Phana's finals the two boys went 10 days without meeting. Not wanting to test the bond, the two boys had met on the 11 th day, but Dr. Bright had said they could try and stretch the time now. And so during the break, the two boys had pushed and tested the bond. On the 17th day, Arthit and called Phana and said that Wayo woke up with chills and had also thrown up. Phana of course, had rushed to the boy's house immediately. Since then, the two boys had decided to stick to their weekly meets anyway. However, it was a relief that they could without seeing each other longer.

They had all taken this weekend off, knowing the boys would be exhausted by the end of the day and would probably sleep in the next day. They had all planned this carefully as a surprise for Wayo. You see it was the young boy's birthday. Wayo was turning 9 tomorrow. All of them had bought gifts for the boy and were going to head home in the evening for a cake celebration. The Suthiluck's had agreed to crash at the Kongthanin's for the night. It was going to be a wonderful day.

Pansri was brought out of her thoughts as Kongpob came in and offered her a chilled pomegranate lemonade. She sipped it gratefully. "You got drinks for the kids too, right? I did tell Pha to come back after their ride...," she said as she looked around, trying to spot her tall son in the crowd.

Just then she saw Phana tailing Wayo who dashed towards Arthit. The chubby man grabbed his son by the arm, so as to avoid spilling his pink-milk. Kongpob held out another pink-milk for Wayo and the boy began gulping it down immediately. Pansri smiled, watching the boy who had definitely captured everyone's heart. She couldn't help it as she called out, "Wayo, slowly dear. Pink-milk is not going anywhere." Wayo stopped gulping down his drink and grinned at her, his eyes going crescent, his lips coated with the milk. She took out her tissue and called the young boy, "Come here Wayo, you have a mustache." When Wayo came to her, she wiped the boy's mouth and cheek clean gently, and handed him a fresh tissue for later.
