Hidden Desire

(Note: I changed the character names from GeminiFourth to KongthapAtom due to sensitivity, so if you notice that you can still see the GeminiFourth names, please consider it.)

Sauntering through the hallway, Kongthap struggled to push himself through the crowd of students, trying to reach his locker while carrying heavy, thick books. His loaded backpack clinging to his back didn't help. Their morning session ended at exactly noon, and it was now their lunch break. Kongthap hated it when many students from different sections and departments crowded the hallway, causing him to take longer to reach the pantry for lunch.

When the number of students in the hallway had significantly decreased, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Standing in front of his locker, he arranged the books to put them inside. He was about to open his locker door when someone slammed a hand on it, preventing him from opening it. The loud impact of the hand slamming against it startled him, causing the books he was holding to fall to the floor. The students in the hallway turned their attention to them, and the deafening silence echoed.

Not this time, please.

"Hello little kitten, long time no see. Missed me?"

Kongthap knew this voice too well—an arrogant and playful voice belonging to a person he never wanted to encounter again. He kept his head bowed, still facing his closed locker. He had no intention of facing this person. This person had ruined his entire year, and he was pretty sure it would continue for the rest of his college journey. But what could he do to get rid of him and stop him from tormenting him? Kongthap was a nobody with thick glasses for his blurry vision, fond of studying, friendless, and boring. He didn't want to pick a fight and didn't know how to fight back against a spoiled brat jock like Atom.

Kongthap could feel Atom starting to get pissed off. "Oh, come on. You're no fun. Face the fuck out of me."

He didn't oblige at first, still trying to gauge Atom's reaction. The students in the hallway started murmuring while their inspecting eyes were nailed on them, not even attempting to stop Atom from harassing him. They didn't give a fuck what would happen to him, and this kind of treatment wasn't even shocking for him.

"I said face me, you nerdy fucker!" A growing rage building inside Atom, he slapped Kongthap's shoulder harshly and gripped both his shoulders, forcing him to face him and pushing him against the locker. The students who witnessed gasped, and some walked away to escape the commotion, while Kongthap couldn't help but groan as his back hit the steel locker.

Gripping the shoulder strap adjustment of his backpack with trembling hands, his face contorted in a grimace as he tightly shut his eyes and released a sharp gasp. Deep lines formed on his forehead, and his lips twisted in a mixture of pain.

He clutched his lower back, his fingers trembling slightly. His breathing quickened and became shallow, each breath a struggle against the severe pain in his back. He kept his head down, still trying to bear the pain.

"W-what do you need?" Kongthap inquired between panting. He couldn't look straight at Atom. The sweat forming above his forehead crawled down his face and neck.

Atom lifted the corner of his mouth, tilted his head, and narrowed his eyes directly at Kongthap. "Oh, look at you, looking so afraid. I like that." He placed his hands against the locker and came closer, cornering Kongthap.

Kongthap might be a few inches taller than Atom but ignores the fact that Atom has the ability to do what he wants to do to him.

Kongthap's heart raced as Atom's face inched closer, the locker behind him cold and unforgiving against his back. He smelled a mix of strong perfume and sweat, which made him feel sick.
