PONDPHUWIN ONESHOTS

1. Moonlight Promises✨

In the heart of Bangkok, where the city's hustle blends with the tranquil escape of hidden gardens, there lies a quaint bookstore named " Hanabi Books." It’s a sanctuary for book lovers and dreamers, boasting walls lined with ancient volumes and comfortable nooks where patrons can get lost in worlds of their own.

Phuwin, the bookstore’s owner, is a soft-spoken man in his late twenties with a deep love for literature and an equally deep-seated belief in the magic of the written word. His days are spent organizing the store, recommending books to curious readers, and curating the perfect ambiance for his customers.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon and the bookstore's warm lights flickered on, Pond walked in. He was a renowned photographer, known for capturing raw, emotive moments in the city’s sprawling urban landscape. Pond had a reputation for being somewhat aloof, often shrouded in his own world, but his eyes told a different story, one of depth and introspection.

Pond's curiosity led him to Hanabi Books, drawn by its reputation for having an unparalleled collection of rare and antique books. As he wandered through the aisles, his eyes settled on an old leather-bound book tucked away on a high shelf. Phuwin, noticing the newcomer’s interest, approached with a gentle smile.

“Looking for something specific?” Phuwin's voice was soft, yet inviting.

Pond glanced at him, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. “Just exploring,” he replied, his gaze returning to the book.

Phuwin took it upon himself to help. “That book you’re looking at is a first edition of ‘The Moon’s Whisper.’ It’s said to be a tale about love transcending time.”

Pond's interest piqued. “Really? I’ve always been fascinated by stories like that.”

Phuwin nodded, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. “It’s one of my favorites. I believe in the power of stories to connect us to something greater.”

As days turned into weeks, Pond found himself drawn to the bookstore more often. What started as casual visits turned into frequent conversations with Phuwin. They discussed everything from literary classics to the nuances of human connection. Phuwin's warmth and genuine passion for his craft slowly chipped away at Pond's guarded exterior.

One rainy afternoon, as the monsoon poured outside, Pond found himself at the store again. He was carrying a new camera, a gift he had been saving for a special occasion. Phuwin noticed and was intrigued.

“What’s the occasion?” he asked, his curiosity evident.

Pond hesitated for a moment before smiling. “I wanted to capture something beautiful, something that felt right.”

Phuwin's eyes softened. “Why don’t you take a few pictures here? We have some hidden corners that might inspire you.”

Pond agreed, and as he moved through the store, his lens captured the intimate atmosphere Phuwin had created—soft light filtering through the windows, the textures of old books, and the warmth of the space. Unbeknownst to Pond, Phuwin had been quietly observing, his feelings deepening with each passing day.

After a few hours, Pond set the camera down and joined Phuwin at a small table by the window. The rain outside created a soothing soundtrack as they shared a pot of tea.

“Thank you for letting me photograph the store,” Pond said, his voice sincere.

Phuwin smiled, his cheeks tinged with pink. “I should be the one thanking you. You’ve brought a different kind of magic to this place.”

Pond looked at him, his gaze lingering longer than usual. “I think we’ve both brought something special to each other.”

As the evening grew late, the rain eased to a gentle drizzle. Pond stood to leave but hesitated at the door. He turned to Phuwin, his expression earnest.

“Do you believe in moonlit promises?” he asked.

Phuwin looked puzzled. “Moonlit promises?”

Pond nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. “Promises made under the moonlight, where the night sky seems to witness our vows.”

Phuwin's heart skipped a beat as he realized what Pond was asking. The bookstore, with its cozy atmosphere and the soft glow of the lamps, felt like their own little world. He took a step closer to Pond, his voice barely a whisper.

“I believe in promises made with sincerity, no matter the time or place.”

Pond reached out, gently holding Phuwin's hand. “Then let’s make a promise under this moonlit sky...one that I hope we’ll keep forever.”

Phuwin looked into Pond's eyes, seeing the genuine emotion there. “I’d like that.”

Pond's gaze softened as he leaned in closer, his voice a tender murmur. “There’s a small rooftop garden just above the store. It’s not much, but it has a beautiful view of the city lights and the sky.”

Phuwin's heart fluttered at the thought. “Let’s go.”

They ascended to the rooftop, where the rain had left a fresh, earthy scent in the air. The clouds were clearing, revealing a canopy of stars and the moon’s gentle glow. They stood side by side, the city’s lights twinkling below them.

Pond took Phuwin's hand and gently drew him closer. “I’ve always believed in capturing moments, but right now, I want to create one.”

Phuwin's breath caught in his throat as Pond's eyes met his. “What kind of moment?”

“A moment where we make a promise to each other,” Pond said softly, his thumb brushing over Phuwin's knuckles. “A promise of being there for each other, of cherishing these moments we share.”

Phuwin's heart swelled with emotion. He reached up to cup Phuwin's face, his fingers tracing the line of his jaw. “I promise to be here, to cherish every moment with you.”

As the moonlight bathed them in its soft glow, Pond leaned in, closing the distance between them. Their lips met in a tender, lingering kiss, a sweet and intimate exchange that spoke of their deep connection and shared promises. The kiss was soft and exploratory, filled with the warmth and affection that had been building between them.

When they finally pulled away, both were breathless and smiling. Pond rested his forehead against Phuwin's, his eyes sparkling with affection. “Thank you for making this moment so special.”

Phuwin's smile was radiant. “Thank you for sharing it with me.”

They stood there for a while, wrapped in each other’s arms, as the moonlight and city lights cast a magical glow over them. It was a promise sealed under the stars, a love that began with a book and blossomed into something truly beautiful.

In the heart of Bangkok, where the city’s energy never truly sleeps, Pond and Phuwin discovered their own kind of tranquility...a love that was as enduring and timeless as the stories they cherished.
