THE AUTISTIC

Young love

It had been a couple of hours since the heartfelt talk which showed off a vulnerable Mile in front of Apo.
There seemed to be a sparkle of sweet liking more than as a friend within Mile which showed up as a burst of worry on what if Apo would leave his side.

'Please don't leave me..', the heart felt plea out of Apo's safe place brought a taste of sweet lime to his tongue. Finally it felt like his prayers were heard, his feelings were requited and there was a spark of certainty in his life. There was no force that could indulge him to choose his so called real parents over the Romsaithongs now.
After relishing the most perfect cake of his life, he and his love had retreated to bed.
At present Mile was fast asleep like a newborn kid, burying his head in Apo's neck and hugging him as if he might vanish anytime soon.
Apo on the other hand was at loss of sleep, speculating about the possibilities of his uncertain future,

What was their bonding currently, boyfriend??
Apo blushed profusely at the mear thought of it, he couldn't help but leave kiss on the lips of the person asleep beside him.
This was the only thing he was thankful to his parents for; which was abandoning him.

The dawn of the next morning was better than any other for Apo; the fluttering lashes of his boyfriend's eyes as he opened them was truly a marvel worth to watch.
The complaints screamed by his paining head and sleepless strained eyes were completely silenced just by receiving a beautiful smile from his Mile.

"Hey po...", he greeted in a deep morning voice, " Wow, you're awake, usually I am the one who's up before.", chuckling.

Apo nodded with a warm, satisfied smile rapidly. The indepth longing in his eyes displayed was now seen no more. He left a peck on Mile's cheek, satisfied.

He now didn't have to shy away from showcasing his admiration;

He could cuddle;

He could kiss;

He could hold his Mile's hand;
Without requiring any sort of permission.

"Aww you look so adorable.", his mate spoke, " Man, I can't believe I want to call out loud but, MY BOYFRIEND. ", and leaving a kiss on Apo's lips.
Something terrible had to happen for Mile to finally realise and release his feelings.
He accepted the fact that he was into men and not women as well.

The two boys walked downstairs with interwined hands and bright blushy smiles; which never broke even when they sat at the table for breakfast.
Mae and Pa Rom were kind of confused about what was the new change; but decided to keep their questions to themselves for the time being. They could cleary see both the lads were no more just friends or brothers.

At present
"It took them an year and a half to come out to me, Jeff on the other hand found out by himself a week later they became official.", Anna chuckled.
" Truly the best thing about both of them was the fact that they did not need verbal words to communicate to each other nor were they required to say anything to the world; They were content with the one both had created for themselves.

An innocent;

Non- judgmental;

Loving and caring, one.

Back to the past

"Po, you would not give up on me for your real parents, would you?
I wasn't sure and was not willing to accept a certain fact.
I love you, Po. I love for who you are and will always love you the same way. I don't care if the kind of love we both share is a sin nor do I care of what the world has got to speak about it.
This isn't a teenage crush nor a friendly love, despite the fact we are 16 yet.

Love is love, and I believe our love is gonna be victorious forever.", Mile pledged to his new found love,
Apo.
Though he was sure with the fact that there was a love beyond explanation for himself inside Apo's heart, there yet existed a slight worry of Apo's decision regarding his real parents. Mile was not willing to shy away from showing his vulnerability in front of his newly found...boyfriend?

Apo on the other hand was completely overwhelmed by Mile's words. The present was far better and beyond what he dreamt.
Both the boys were lost in each other's eyes, filled with admiration and happiness that they felt they would cherish for their entire life.

"So.... Will you be my boyfriend? ", Mile popped out the question slightly anxious looking at his mate just the way the prince charming might have looked at Cinderella when the glass sandals fit her foot with perfection.
Apo couldn't contain his emotions, looking at the eyes of the cutest boy in his embrace. He swiftly nodded his head with a lot of force and left an ensuring kiss over his man's forehead.
Now it was impossible for the autistic to depart from the Romsaithongs, especially the youngest one, Mile.
________________
It's been a week since both the boys became official. There has not been much of a difference from the way they used to be earlier; except a few things like stealing kisses whenever they would get a chance, clingy to each other, possessive over each other and exchanging special secret messages in a special diary which the two had created meant just for each other.

"You are literally unbelievable! ", Mile frowned at his boyfriend. Apo was unable to decipher what had he committed for his other half to be so mad at him.

" You literally left me alone at our usual bench, just to sit with Build. You do realise that I hate that guy right.", he continued, "Also you were so engrossed with the fella that you even forgot to spare a bare minimum glance at me. Do you even like me? ", he yelled.
Apo just continued to see him like a clueless lost puppy, he tries persuading Mile by hugging him from behind, but nothing was apparently working.

By the time both the lads reached the school main gate.
A middle aged couple were seen standing with smiles lightning their facade, which happen to be none other than Mr and Mrs Wattanagitipat.
