My 2 Moons

Chapter Ten

"Okay, I'll ask." Yo sighed, he made he way over and sat on the bed, wanting to be closer to his best friends for this. After returning back to campus the day before classes were to start up again, Kit called the others to have an actual conversation about what happened. "Why is Muwarn still a problem?" The boys shifted uncomfortable for a second, before Third started the conversation.

"Me and Ming got together not long after they broke up our third year." He speaks softly.

"I broke up with her because I knew I loved Third more than I even was attracted to her, that was never a question for me. And I couldn't force myself to let him go..." Ming squeezes his arms gently around Third who smiles up at him.

"But she didn't care. She kept telling people they were still together, kept separating him from us. That was when you guys had that fight." Third directs at Yo, who nodded in understanding, remembering all too well the month and a half it was just him and Third. "That's the main reason we kept our relationship a secret. So she couldn't use it against Ming, like she did with you guys. But she found out anyways and did everything she could to tear us apart."

"Until she moved districts our forth year." Ming continued when Third had to cut himself off, a tear trecking down his cheek. Kit reached out and wiped it away, moving to sit next to them to be closer to his boys. "We thought we'd be safe. I took Third on our first real date...we were going to tell everyone that weekend...but she showed up half way through. Made a huge scene and made it very clear where she still stood on things. We realized as long as she knew where we were, we couldn't tell anyone.

"We got pretty good at hiding it. Going out of our way, sometimes by hours, just for a few moments together. It worked. So when we got into university, in a completely different city from where she was, we got a little lazy." Ming sighed. "Apparently too lazy. She found us through the university page, her friends had sent her a link when she saw our moon interviews, and she must have seen when I got the title." Ming blinked up at Kit. "That's who was calling that night...thank you for that by the way..."

"Don't thank me..." Kit shook his head and gave Ming a tight smile.

"I just want this to be over..." Third says, pathetically.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Forth stood up. "We could have delt with this sooner, and really Third how stupid could you be putting all the risk for some boy-"

"Stop." Kit warned him, watching out of the corner of his eye as Ming's arms tightened around Third. "You are not going to blame them for this, nor are you going to continue to bad mouth Ming." He shifted when Third moved to lean against him as Ming's phone rang again.

"Mom." Ming explains before leaving the room. Neither Kit nor Third were surprised, that was a pretty abrupt hang up the other way. Kit just settles with Third in his arms. Third turned his attention back to his brother.

"We didn't want to cause anymore problems than we already had. We were fine as we were and we were sticking to that. I only recently started getting overwhelmed with everything...and I partially blame that on you. Did you know there's not a singular date we've had this year that you haven't been there?"

"Oh my god the bar." Kit said in realization. Third laughs a little at his expression.

"You didn't know." Third says, lacing their fingers together. Yo glared at them, his eyes focusing on their conjoined hands. Kit gave Third the softest smile any of them have ever seen on his face. Ming moves into the room and presses a kiss to Third's head.

"I have to go home." He says in brief explanation grabbing his stuff of the night stand.

"Is mom okay?" Third looks worried, sitting up.

"Yeah yeah it's not her dad's home and it's not going well. I'll call you guys tonight to update you." Ming reassured him. Third nods and gets off the bed with Kit.

"Go I'll make sure your room gets closed up." Kit takes Third's keys as the younger follows Ming out of the room.

"Are you gonna be okay?" Third asks Ming as they head to his room to hastily pack a bag. Ming, lost in his head, takes a minute to answer.

"What? No yeah I'll be fine." He shakes his head, haphazardly throwing things in the direction of his bed, that Third picks up and packs for him. They head down to the car, only slightly surprised to see Kit leaning against Ming's car.

"Everything okay?" Kit asks. Third takes the bag from Ming and gets it settled in the car while Kit takes Ming into his arms. Ming almost clings to the older student like he doesn't want to leave, but they both know he has to. Kit presses a kiss to Ming's temple, who relaxes a little before pulling away.

"Yeah...I'll call you guys tonight?" Kit nods, and Ming gives Third a brief kiss, before climbing into his car. Kit pulls Thurd back against him, holding him close as they watch Ming's car pull away from the parking lot

"Should I be concerned?" Kit asks, only relaxing when the younger shakes his head.

"Daichapanya family drama. He'll be fine, just probably need extra love when he comes back." Third turns in his arms, smiling softly up at Kit. "Can I stay with you tonight?" The smile Kit gives him is wide enough, he knew there were no arguments as they headed over to the orders car, hand in hand.

Third smiled as Ming's face took up the screen of his phone.

"Hi baby..." Ming sighed out, sounding relieved.

"Hi..." Third's smile softened at the relaxed state of his boyfriends body. "Not as bad as you thought then?"

"Still not great." Ming shrugs it off. "I'll probably be here till the end of the week so you and Kit are just gonna have to miss me."

"Who misses you? Not me." Kit sasses, threading his fingers through Thirds hair, who has his head in the older's lap. Third flips the camera around so Ming can see Kit. Ming just laughs as they rearrange themselves on the bed, phone propped up on a pillow, Third tucked back against Kit so Ming can see them both.

"But you will come back at the end of the week...right?" Third says. Ming and Third have never been apart more than a few days, and he doesn't plan on making whatever is happening here a common occurrence. Ming gives him a soft smile.

"Yeah baby, I promise." Third nods and pulls Kit's arms around him more, and Ming can't help but think it's adorable how quickly Third jumped into the comfort of their Phi. They talk for a while, about their plans for the upcoming week, and if they'll be able to call during their time apart, and it's only after Third has been assured that Ming won't disappear off the face of the earth that they end the call.
