Perth was getting ready to go out for dinner. He was set to eat at Chimon's house and then rehearse a few scenes together. "I hope I'm not awkward" he said aloud as he turned on the blow dryer.
Even after a few days, the dream he had about Chimon still lingered in his mind. The kisses they exchanged, the new places Chimon touched, and the confession all created questions and excitement in himself.
Arriving at Chimon's house, he looked at his outfit once more before ringing the doorbell. He wore jeans, a dark blue shirt, and his usual hairstyle.
Chimon opened the door, Perth immediate felt a knot in his stomach. 'Shit. Not again.'
"There you are Tanapon. The chicken is ready and Chi is hungry," Chimon said, smiling happily at his hunger.
Following behind him, Perth fixated on the back of Chimon's neck. 'I wonder what it's like to kiss that spot?' He thought.
Sitting down at the table, they began eating. The entire time Chimon was eating and talking about their usual topics. Perth joined the conversation, but his mind was also focused on the details of Chimon's face that he hadn't noticed before.
He thought, 'I wonder what it would be like if Chimon really did bite my neck or even my hips. How hard would he bite me?' Smiling along to the jokes that were being told.
Chimon smiled widely at his own jokes. This image was captured by Perth's memory.
After eating, the two adjourned to the living room couch. "I have the printed script here on the table already" Chimon said as they sat down beside each other.
Sitting so close to Chimon made Perth's heart beat quicken. 'Look at him' he was slowly melting as Chimon read the paper and moved his hair out of his face. 'What am I thinking? Again. Where are all of these types of thoughts coming from?' Perth asks himself.
Suddenly Chimon taps Perth's leg, grazing his middle finger across the fabric of his jeans. "Are you ready? Or would you like to read the script once more?" Chimon asked, looking to his face.
"Uhh, yeah, I'll look through it" Perth replied, becoming very nervous. Quickly trying to focus, he reads through the lines he's already looked over before.
As they begin rehearsing their lines, Perth is able to focus all his attention on his job without overthinking every little detail. But then, an affectionate moment comes up next. As Chimon delivers his lines he looks up to Perth's eyes then to his lips.
Overcome by these looks, Perth instinctively moves closer, almost closing the space between them. About to crash his lips into his partner's.
Chimon notices Perth's sudden moves and freezes. "Tanapon, what...we're not supposed to..." he quietly says.
Perth realizes what he was doing. 'Damn! What's wrong with me?' Backing up Perth looks down to the sofa cushion, almost analyzing the fabric as he wrestles with his feelings and his almost-follow through.
"Perth Perth" Chimon says trying to get his partner's attention. Then, letting loose, Perth falls onto Chimon. His forehead laying on Chimon's left shoulder and softly wrapping his arms around his torso.
Clearing his throat, "Are you okay, Perth? Should we rehearse on another day?" Chimon asks.
Unable to move, Perth squeezes him and releasing from the hug. "Yeah. I think I just got caught up in the character and forgot the sequence of events" trying to justify what just happened.
Feeling utterly embarrassed, Perth quickly gets up and leaves with a quick "see you later Phi."
