"Okay Akk you can do this.."
"It's not a big deal..."
"I mean this is good"
"What if someone says something..."
"No of course they wouldn't"
"It's not against the rules anymore.."
"But what if teacher Waree says something..."
"ITS. NOT. A. BIG. DEAL"
"BREAThe...b-bReaThE"
"nO OnE iS eVen GoiNg to....tO..caRE" ending it with a voice crack.

Aye is laying on his stomach in Akks bed facing towards the foot of the bed. He is playing on his phone, quietly chuckling at his boyfriend's ridiculous overthinking. Like c'mon, IT'S A PAIR OF PANTS. Akk might be younger than Aye but sometimes his innocence and kindness make him seem so much younger than he actually is and the shorter thinks it's the cutest thing.

"AYAN" Akk yells clearly bothered. Aye just laughs as a response, putting down his phone and walking towards Akk that's standing in his hallway, in front of the mirror. "Akk... It's not that big of a deal *chuckles* if we just say we are cold then they aren't going to say anything, I'm sure many other students will wear pants too" "But you don't know that!" "I'm most definitely sure" Aye replies, showing Akk Instagram stories of student's outfits being both pants AND hoodies. Yesterday night it had turned relatively cold in many parts of Thailand, which it hadn't been in a long time. So now that Suppalo lets you bend the rules of the school uniforms depending on the weather, a lot of students are taking the golden opportunity.

"It's just..new.." "Mmm... I know" Aye replies, standing behind Akk, wrapping his arms around him, and resting his left cheek against Akks right arm while looking at each other through the mirror. "But you won't be alone! And I'm wearing pants too, aren't I? I'm even planning on bringing a hoodie too, just in case. You'll be okay Akk." "hmmm...alright." The taller replies, slightly unsure but confident enough to go through with it.
"Okay but seriously let's go because we are absolutely about to become late if we don't go now." Aye says quickly as he runs to grab both their bags while Akk quickly finishes up and then they leave together.

"Where the hell are they? I know he's not a Prefect anymore but I wouldn't think a FORMER PREFECT would be late"
"Don't be so harsh on him Wat! *smirk* Aye has been staying over at his place for m o n t h s" Kan replies, snorting then dropping a laugh.
"Ew dude gross, don't even-"
"Kan! Wat!" The two Prefects hear as they see Akk and Aye running towards the two.
"AKK! We were supposed to grab breakfast!! I can't be late!! I'M THE HEAD PREFECT!!"

"I know I know I'm sorry!" Akk replies genuinely apologetic, Aye just looking at him while shaking his head with a light smile. When he looks up, Kan isn't talking to the others but is looking at him. He raises his eyebrows in question, gaining a smirk back. When he realizes what the other means his eyebrows rise a little as he gives a smirk, standing a straighter jokingly trying to act smug.

"Alright alright but lets go! We need time to eat too!" Wat says throwing his arm around Akks neck, dragging him towards the food cart with the others trailing shortly behind.

...

- 9 Minutes Later -

"Soo..." Kan starts.
"Hmm?" Aye hums in a question, in the middle of drinking his soda.
"How is he doing?" He continues, looking towards Akk and Wat that is still at the food cart waiting for everyone's food to be done.
"He's... better. It was rough but he's going to be okay." "He's smiling again" Aye adds, smiling to himself.
"Yeah he looks happier, thanks to you" the other just replies with a soft, casual, short laugh.
"Hmm, I might have helped... but he did all the heavy work. He got himself where he needed to be. I was just there. He's quite strong when you think about what he's gone through" and just when Aye says that they turn around as they hear-
