Love Gambles

Long lashes and rosy lips

"F-Fine! I-I'll go out with you!" Kunpimook shouts in embarrassment, slumping down against the table and pulling his beanie until it reaches his chin and covers his face completely.

Jackson laughs at the boy beside him. Kunpimook slumps down into his seat and pulls his beanie over his face.

Step 1 to fifty dollars, Jackson. He thinks inwardly and he unconsciously presses his thigh against his boyfriend's. The boy whines pitifully in response and Yugyeom laughs, slapping him repeatedly on the back.

"You've caught yourself a big one, Bamie!" The taller boy exclaims, a wide grin adorning his cherubic face. Kunpimook looks up at Jackson through his lashes before slamming his head back into the table top and mumbling,

"You mean that Jackson has caught me?"

----

"My next class is in this hallway." The shorter boy says, waving off his friend and Jackson stares at the retreating back before turning to his boyfriend.

"I have a class down here too, i'll walk you there." He says, smoothly linking his hands with Kunpimook. The boy flushes and averts his eyes, muttering a small alright and drilling holes into the floor with his hard stare. Jackson raises his eyebrows and tugs at the boy's hand.

"Are you okay?" He says, though he knows that the boy is just very flustered. "You're very... pink.." Jackson laughs, pressing the fingers of his free hand against the boy's soft cheek and inwardly revelling in the feel of the supple, pink-tinted skin.

Kunpimook jerks away in surprise and bumps into the wall.

"Oh.. I.. Um.. Well.." He stutters, he looks up and his gaze meets Jackson's. He presses his lips together and hangs his head, still keeping eye contact with the ebony dressed boy before him. Kunpimook shakes his head and turns away. He tightens his hold on their linked hands and tugs at Jackson's (starting to sweat) hand. "It's nothing, let's go." He says as he offers the older a sheepish smile, dimples and all.

And Jackson's heart might've done a flip or two.

They walk in silence for a while and Kunpimook stops before an all too familiar door.

"Um, well my class is here..." Jackson raises an eyebrow. "So i'll.. Um.. See you later?"

Jackson laughs loudly before grinning. "Well you see, baby," he says in a sultry voice. "This is my class too."

"Is it? How come i've never seen you here?" Kunpimook asks with an innocent expression adorning his face and Jackson gulps, barely noticeably.

"Um, well..." He says and he rubs his nape sheepishly. "Biology isn't exactly my best subject..." He trails off. The boy before him raises an eyebrow.

"And?"

"I actually always skip bio..." He says, laughing at his boyfriend's shocked face. "Don't look at me like that! I'm not made out of student material y'know." Jackson says, ruffling the boy's hair. Or beanie, to be exact.

Kunpimook shakes his hand off with a pout. "But bio isn't even that hard!" He sighs when Jackson shoots him a partially shocked look. "Come on, lets's just go before we're late." He mumbles and tugs Jackson into the classroom.

All eyes land on them the moment they set foot in the classroom and Kunpimook lowers his head in embarrassment. But to Jackson's surprise, the smaller boy does not let go of his hand as he continues his stride. The boy practically drags Jackson to a pair of connected, empty seats in the back corner. The girl, who was settled in front of Kunpimook, scowls at him. Jackson watches as she piercingly glares at the small boy beside him and he raises an eyebrow. He leans over and whispers in his ear.

"Do you want to switch? I don't think that girl there likes you."

"She doesn't like me because i'm dating you!" He hisses back and Jackson laughs at his comeback, but he doesn't say anything because he knows that it's true. He changes the topic.

"Oh and I've been meaning to ask, but why did you dye your hair pink?" He asks. The boy raises an eyebrow and gazes at him oddly. "Not that it's bad looking or anything..."

"I lost a bet..." He says simply and this time, it's Jackson's turn to raise his eyebrows. "With Yugyeom... And he dyed it pink... It'll wash off later anyways."

"Are you gonna dye it another colour?"

"I'll dye it a colour of your choice if you manage to understand the majority of what we'll be learning today." Kunpimook says nonchalantly. Jackson's eyes widen a bit.

"Seriously?" The boy nods. "What if i fail then?" The boy shrugs and Jackson presses his lips together.

"It's going to be your fault if i fail then." He whispers jokingly, taking a pencil from his bag and setting it on his desk.

"But aren't you already failing?" Kunpimook says bluntly and Jackson splutters.

"Who told you that?"

"You did!" The boy exclaims quietly to avoid attracting attention. "You said you weren't doing well so you decided to ditch!" Jackson can see that Kunpimook wants to burst out in laughter from the way that the corners of his lips are upturned. Jackson shakes his head in the negative.

"Did not."

"Did too!" Jackson huffs at the boy's stubbornness. He looks at the way that Kunpimook's cheeks are puffed out and how his pink lips are pressed together in a firm line and he thinks that he might just want to kiss the boy silly. He sighs in defeat so that he would stop thinking about the boy's lips.

"Ok fine maybe i did-" Kunpimook huffs and sticks his fingers upon Jackson's lips and makes a shushing noise, efficiently cutting him off.

"The teacher's here." He says turning towards the board in the front. "And if you pay attention, you'll have a higher chance of learning something, Jackson." He trails off, glancing at Jackson - who is staring at him wide eyed - through his peripheral vision.

"And if you need help... I'll help you..." He mutters, looking away and sliding a piece of lined paper over to Jackson's desk.

His eyelashes flutter against his cheeks and Jackson, oddly, can't stop staring.
