FALL FOR MY PROTECTOR ( Pondphuwin)

Chapter:11

"You're always such a baby in front of me, wifey." Pond teased, flashing a cheeky grin as he looked at Phuwin, who was adorably swallowed up in Pond's oversized T-shirt, making it look like a dress. They were heading out for their daily grocery shopping date—a cozy ritual they'd fallen into over the last couple of weeks.

"Come here," Phuwin called in an even tone, motioning Pond to lower himself to his wheelchair level.

Pond, oblivious to Phuwin's intentions, leaned down with a teasing smirk, only to feel a sudden, sharp tug at his hair.

"Ouch—Phuwin! I'm sorry! I swear I won't tease you again! Please, baby, forgive me..." Pond whimpered, the pain making his eyes widen as Phuwin's grip tightened with a barely hidden smirk.

"If you know how to tease me, then you'd better believe I know how to keep you in line," Phuwin said coolly, his grip not loosening one bit.

Pond let out another hiss, cursing himself for his bad luck, "Baby, please! I'm sorry! Let go before you make me bald! I swear I'll behave!"

With a huff, Phuwin finally released him, crossing his arms in a pout, clearly still annoyed. "Go get the car," he said, turning away with an attitude that screamed 'not forgiven.'

Rubbing his scalp, Pond whispered to himself, "What's gotten into him this morning? His grip is like iron... my head's still throbbing..."

At the grocery store, Pond wheeled Phuwin inside. The bright fluorescent lights welcomed them, and as usual, they started with the chocolate section, knowing Phuwin couldn't resist a good stash of sweets.

"Hey, sister Aura!" Phuwin greeted the store manager with a warm smile.

"Do you want to stay here while I pick up the rest, or do you want to roam around?" Pond asked, stopping his wheelchair by the chocolates.

"I'll just stay here. I'm not in the mood for vegetables and fish today," Phuwin replied with a shrug.

Pond nodded, carefully adjusting Phuwin's mask and jacket. "Here, take this Bluetooth—it's connected to me. Just say the word if you need anything or get bored and want to chat. Sister Aura can also help if you need anything specific."

Phuwin nodded, appreciating Pond's fussing over him. "Alright, go on. I'll be fine here," he said softly.

Satisfied, Pond ruffled Phuwin's hair affectionately before heading off with a cart to the grocery aisles.

Sister Aura, noticing the tender moment, smiled at Phuwin, "He really adores you, doesn't he?"

Phuwin's lips curled into a proud smirk beneath his mask. "Yeah, he does," he replied, feeling like the luckiest person in the world.

Wandering the chocolate aisle, Phuwin's eyes lit up. "Ferrero Rocher!" he exclaimed, spotting his favorite brand.

"Sister Aura, could you grab five of these for me?" he asked eagerly.

As Aura picked up the chocolates, Phuwin's attention was drawn to the sound of giggles nearby. Frowning, he wheeled himself a bit closer to listen.

"Natasha, look at him! He's so handsome... should we ask for his number?" a girl squealed, casting glances at Pond, who was picking vegetables a few aisles away, completely unaware of the commotion.

"Right? Those arms... that hair... and he's got abs, too! I wonder if he's single?" another girl whispered with a dreamy sigh.

Phuwin's jaw tightened as he heard them continue.
