You & Me [Completed]

Arthit

I sighed. I knew Lam was pissed with me, and it showed. He absolutely avoided and ignored me during Sotus, soccer practice, at the bar. You name it, you get the drift, don't you?

It shouldn't bother me. It's not like we are friends, and I did it for his own good, so he will not get into further trouble. This Lin is a bad egg, and I knew he was trying to goad Lam who was falling for it hook and sinker, so I had to step in. However, it seemed like it landed me in hot waters with Lam instead.

However, having him ignore me was getting to me. I watched for the nth time and sighed to myself as Lam and his friends were 2 tables away, drinking and chatting. He happened to glance in my direction and saw me but turned away. I just clenched my beer can harder, and some of it sloshed over me. Shit. I stood up to go to the toilet to clean it off and was coming back when I saw the same juniors trying to hit on Lam again. They all knew we were not together, so they were trying their luck again. I watched as Lam tried to ignore them, but they were not taking no for an answer. He got pissed, stood up, flipped them off, and came over to our table. He just sat himself down in my seat and grabbed my beer to drink from. I went back and sat next to him with trepidation.

The girls saw that and came right over, but this time, Lam took my hand and placed it around his shoulders. Everyone was stunned, myself included. What was he doing?

The girls stopped and looked at him.

"Just because you hear rumours doesn't mean it's true. We don't have to be showing off our relationship but if it means you bitches will fuck off, I will do it gladly."

I gripped his shoulders a bit more tightly when he said those lines. He turned to look at me and internally pleaded to say something. I just turned to those girls and muttered, "Just stop bothering my boyfriend already. If he loses his shit, I will not he blamed for what happens next."

The girls were stunned, but they backed off when they saw my grip firm on him. I was not the loudest fellow in the room, but I wasn't head hazer for no reason. The girls left. There was absolute silence this time once again, but no one burst out laughing a minute later. A minute later, Lam just took my hand off him and stood up; thanking me softly for helping and was about to go off, but I grabbed onto his wrist and stood up.

"We need to talk."

Lam looked at me. I didn't take no or wait, I didn't wait for an answer from him. I just dragged him out of the bar to the nearby carpark.

"Lam.. why are you even angry with me?"

"Are you fucking kidding me? You threw your words at me like that on the field and chased me off when Lin was the one who deserved your fucking anger. And you ask me why?! Why am I even here with you now?"

Lam was pissed and wanted to walk off but I held him back tightly!

"You said I'm your boyfriend to those girls. Your boyfriend wants to talk. Can't you listen?"

"I! You know that was just to get rid of them. You! How can you...?"

I didn't give Lam a chance to talk as I grabbed him close to me, kissing him hard on his lips! He pushed me away and punched me once in the face! I suffered a small cut, and my lips started bleeding.

I think even Lam was stunned by his strength, and he gasped slightly at the wound. He leaned out to touch me, and I stepped away.

"Do you feel better now? Are you able to find it in you to be less angry at me?"

"P...."  Lam uttered, stunned by my behavior.

I sighed as I looked at him.

"Lin was clearly goading you on that day. He wants to see you lose your shit so he can get you into further trouble. I had to do something to make sure you do not get into trouble. I... just don't want to see you in trouble Lam... why is that so difficult to understand? I am sure you can tell my intentions. Or are you that angry with me that you are blinded? So did hitting me help? If it doesn't, you can hit me another time or two again. After all, I'm your boyfriend. You are allowed to hit me."

"Dont be stupid P. Just because I am your boyfriend doesn't mean I can hit you. What kind of thinking is that? As for the other parts.... I didn't feel good hitting you. I just responded instinctively because you kissed me. Don't do that again... as for the Lin thing..  I just hated that you told me off in public like that. But I did think about it and knew you were right. I just couldn't.."

"Bring yourself to admit it?"

Lam just fell silent. I just looked at him.

"We aren't friends or anything, P. Does it really matter to you if I am angry with you or not?"

I looked at Lam. That thought had also gone through my head many times but I realized it mattered to me and hearing that from Lam, it made me wonder if he felt the same way.

Before I could answer, I heard him mutter, "But I wouldn't care though. It doesn't matter to me."

My heart dropped a bit when he said that. I just looked at him.. I nodded my head, just absorbing the information, and turned to walk away.
