"Aphrossssss"

"What's up, my beloved nephew?"

"Hold on, Aphros!! I missed you!"

Paint didn't know how many times he had heard from his best friend that he adored Aphros. A lot, for sure, but he really didn't expect that his 20-year-old friend would jump up and hug him, using his legs to hook his 38-year-old uncle's waist like he was just a five-year-old child, so naturally. Plus, he kissed his cheek on both sides so dearly that Paint could feel Phi Sin, who was standing next to him, getting more and more stressed every time. So, he started getting stressed too.

Had they forgotten that Plerng and Aphros were nephew and uncle? Plerng was grown up enough to have a husband himself.

But it wasn't just that Plerng was being so conformable and natural, actually Paint had never seen him acting like that with Phi Sin. In addition, Aphros himself hugged that little monkey back by his hips, laughing with a sweet sound, as he was greeting a little kid who weighed only a few kilos.

"Did you miss your uncle?"

"I missed you a lot, really."

"Hehe, I missed you too. But you never come to see me." The tip of their nose shook back and forth affectionately. "I should put you down, right?"

Plerng was put down to stand with his two legs on the ground, but both his hands hugged his uncle's arms tightly and he buried his face on his shoulder. Plerng looked already small, and the whole picture became even more adorable. So cute, at a cosmic-level. Plerng rubbed his cheek on the arm of Aphros.

"Okay, fine."

Paint wanted to argue with Aphros because he was continuously spoiling him. But when he made that thought, he decided that it was better if he didn't say anything. When he was with Aphros, Paint often transformed into a little nong too. So, Paint stood there quietly, looking at his best friend and his phi greeting each other with affection.

"I am very close to my uncle, Phi Sin." Plerng consoled his boyfriend, who was then standing next to him.

"I know, but I just feel like I can't compete with him."

Paint turned to look at Phi Sin, who looked noticeably upset, as someone who was just being rejected. His eyes, hidden behind the large-rimmed glasses, were still looking at the two relatives.

Paint gave him a comforting smile. "I am sure you can."

Paint believed that Plerng loved Phi Sin a lot. But if he had to be honest, Phi Sin had nothing in common with Aphros. Yes, Phi Sin may look like a gentleman, polite and kind. His appearance was completely different from that of Aphros. But Plerng, who used to say that Phi Sin wasn't handsome, would argue with all his might if someone criticized Phi Sin. If Plerng didn't love Phi Sin so much, he wouldn't act like that at all.

"Really, nong Paint?"

Paint nodded, not adding anything else. In his heart, he really believed those words. He had been next to Plerng for the past years, making him three meals per day. How could he not be sure about his best friend's thoughts?

When Phi Sin got confirmation from Paint, he started smiling. Right at that moment, nephew and uncle had just finished greeting each other. Plerng suddenly got closer to the other two guys and raised his hands to hug Phi Sin's waist possessively.

Then, he turned to look at Paint's face and said in a serious tone: "Even if you are my close friend, I wouldn't share my boyfriend with you."

If Phi Sin needed further confirmation, Plerng actions already spoke themselves. Paint turned around and smiled playfully at Phi Sin, whose face had already glowing. "I told you, Phi Sin. Can't you see?"
