our little secret [gemfot]

Fourth was lounging comfortably in the living room, half-focused on the movie playing on the screen. The weekend was his time to unwind, laze around, and indulge in some well-deserved rest. With no deadlines or responsibilities looming, he could finally relax.

Hunger was starting to tug at him, so he wandered into the kitchen, determined to find the perfect snack.

As he rummaged through cabinets, the distant sound of his phone ringing echoed from the dining table. Fourth paused, considering whether to answer it, but the promise of a tasty snack was far more pressing. Whoever it is can wait, he thought, brushing it off.

Just as he spotted a bag of chips hidden at the back of the shelf, his papa's voice broke the silence. "Cupcake, Maymay is calling you," his papa teased with a knowing grin, his hand hovering over Fourth's ringing phone.

Fourth nearly jumped out of his skin, dropping the chips he was holding. "Shit," he muttered under his breath, rushing over to snatch the phone from his papa's grasp. With his heart racing, he hurriedly answered the call while walking away, trying to distance himself from his papa.

"Hello prettyyy," Gemini's smooth voice greeted him from the other end.

"Hellooo, what do you wanttt," Fourth replied, his tone casual but curious. Gemini was more of a texter, and when he called, it usually meant something important.

"Are you going anywhere tonight?" Gemini asked.

Fourth shook his head instinctively, even though Gemini couldn't see him. "Nope, why?"

"Good. Come over. I bought something for you," Gemini said cryptically.

Fourth's brows knitted together in confusion. "What?"

"Just come over, I'll give it to you tonight. Byeee," Gemini ended the call abruptly, not giving Fourth a chance to respond.

"What the hell?" Fourth muttered, turning around—only to find his papa standing right behind him, leaning in as if he had been eavesdropping.

"I thought May was your girlfriend, but it turns out it's a boyfriend instead," his papa said with a mischievous giggle.

Fourth's eyes widened in shock. "NO, PA!"

"Oh, are you still shy to admit it? Don't worry, cupcake, you can tell papa anything," his father teased, laughing as he popped the chips that Fourth had dropped into his mouth.

"MR. GUN ATTHAPHAN THAT'S MY SNACK! WHY ARE YOU STEALING IT?" Fourth yelled, chasing after his papa into the living room as laughter echoed through the house.

As soon as Fourth arrived at Gemini's condo, he found Gemini already waiting eagerly at the front door, a barely-contained excitement on his face. Fourth's curiosity spiked immediately, wondering what could make the normally cool and collected Gemini so thrilled.

"What is it? You look more excited than me," Fourth said, eyeing Gemini with a playful smile. In response, Gemini's eyes gleamed with mischief as he slipped behind Fourth and gently covered his eyes.

"What are you doing? Is this necessary?" Fourth asked, chuckling nervously as Gemini guided him forward, his hands still shielding Fourth's vision.

"It is," Gemini replied confidently. "Trust me, you're going to love this."

Having spent plenty of time in Gemini's condo, Fourth recognized the familiar scents and sounds of the space even without seeing. They reached a room, and Fourth could tell by the lingering scent of Gemini's cologne that they were now in his bedroom.
