Cirrus X Phugun

On the way back to the apartment from Cir's house, the two don't say a word, they simply hold hands and don't want to be apart.

Phugun holds Cir's hand and enters the elevator, goes up and back to the room, and still doesn't want to let go his hand.

"Are you tired?"

Cir asks as they sit on the couch. Phu smiles, leaning firmly against the other's chest. His face pressed against him, he listens to the rhythmic and powerful heartbeat, he can understand how nervous Cir is.

"I'm not tired, P'Cir took care of Phu all those years, you should be the tired one."

"I'm not"

"Do not lie."

Phugun suddenly interrupts him, and the one with the stiff expression is speechless.

"I just wanted to…do it, but it might have been too much for you.”

Phugun doesn't know. If someone else had done it for him, he would have thought of a perverted stalker, but since he met P'Cir and fell in love with this person, he doesn't think that Cir's behavior was excessive.

"Whenever Phu lost a lot of thing, is P'Cir the one who finds them for me?"

"Yes"

Hearing the response, phugun buries his face in the other person's arms instead, angry at how stupid he was. How many times did this boy cheer him on, but he thought it was because of luck, so if one day he felt he was unlucky it wasn't because he was wearing the wrong color, but because P'Cir wasn't with him that day.

He was clumsy and forgetful, but his missing items always returned on their own!

"I know where Phu will probably leave his things because I keep watching Phu and I know what he likes to eat on a certain day. Every Thursday I ask the stall owner to help me prepare sweet boiled eggs for Phu, because I know Phu will eat them, I want to just take care of Phu, I know what I did was a little too much, but I can't help it."

“Did you do anything else?” phugun asks softly. Cir is silent for a while, then whispers again.

“I got hurt because of a thief who wanted to break into Phu's car to steal something.”

"What??"

P'Cir was hit in the head... Because of his car!

Cir was uncertain whether to tell phugun, but when he looks into those eyes, he decides that he must tell everything, he no longer wants to hide anything from Phugun.

"Phu forgot to lock the car, right?"

The little boy is embarrassed, yes, sometimes he forgets it.

P'Cir continues to say…

“Because I know Phu always forgets things, I know where to put Phu's things back. I've known this for a long time. There is a toy gun in the front drawer of Phu's car, because I saw it when I went to get the folder that Phu forgot in the car. I opened the drawer, I know it's not real, but if Phu forgets to lock the car, I'll stand guard until I see Phu in the car again."

Phugun is speechless. He never knew that he had cared for him so much and that it had been going on for several years.

"That day I was just worried that Phu had forgotten to lock the car, but suddenly a thief came and broke into the cars one by one. I was afraid that he would steal Phu's car, so I rushed out, thinking that the thief would have run away, but it ended in a fight, and then I…just like Phu knows.”
