Sotus: The Gear of My Heart [completed]

Chapter 25

Waking up the next day, Kongpob felt better than he was yesterday and the day he fainted with Arthit right on bed next to him. He peeled off the cooling pad off his forehead. Looking at the clock it was still very early in the morning. He gently got out of his blanket so as not to arouse Arthit but as he made a slight squeaking sound while getting up, Arthit's eyes were slowly opening.

"Ow, Kongpob!" Arthit rubbed his eyes as he cocked his head up a little to catch a glimpse. Arthit ended up spending another later that day while taking care of Kongpob' and he planned to stay until his young boyfriend was fully recovered "Where are you going?" He added

"I'm going to school P!" Kongpob turned to look at Arthit while sitting on the bed.

Arthit quickly got up straight "huh? No, you cant!!" He immediately jumped off the bed and walked around to Kongpob's side. He placed his forehead carefully on Kongpob's forehead, measuring the heat. "You cant go to school today!" Arthit then furrowed at his boyfriend.

"Ow! Why ah P!" Kongpob furrowed in curiosity. Arthit was in front of him crossing his arm, looking really mad. "Are you going to miss me after all the free time together or something?" The younger male smirked while pulling one of Arthit's arm and pulled the older male lower and closer to him.

"Idiot! No! Who the hell's gonna miss you! Your body temperature is still hot. You cant go to school unless you're fully recovered!" Arthit said as he backed off from Kongpob's grips. "If you dont want me to really get mad at you then" arthit pushed Kongpob down to bed "then just lay down here!" Arthit then walked to the kitchen counter to grabbed a few pieces of medicines and a glass of water.

Kongpob drank the pills as Arthit tugged him tightly in a blanket.

"Are you hungry right now? I can go buy something downstairs" arthit said

Kongpob hesitated to reply. He wasnt really hungry and he didnt want Arthit to go up and down everyday for him. He felt really bad but at the same time if he said No, Arthit would scold him for not eating again.

"Um..P..you dont have to go up and down everyday like this...it must've been really tiring!" Kongpob frowned as he dipped his face half way into the blanket.

"Worry about yourself first! I'm two years older than you and for now, I'm physically more energetic! I'm here to make sure you skip no meal!!" without another word from neither of them, Arthit yanked the door open and headed out before Kongpob.

Kongpob spent his day with his boyfriend in the dorm room listlessly. He'd be lying if he said it wasnt boring and stuffy but it was better with Arthit by his side then alone. There was nothing else to do other than naps and reading but sometimes, he'd get slight headaches from too much starring at the small fonts of the book whereas Arthit, he would read his to-be-read manga and looking after Kongpob.

In the afternoon, around 4:30 pm, arthit and Kongpob heard a few knocks on the door which they was really clueless of who it was. Kongpob shouted "come in!" And surprise, surprised it was his friends tew, M and oak but today wad was tagging along.

"Wooowwwww!" M said. Kongpob sensed sarcasms right away "love birds, oh love birds!" M rapidly raised his eyebrows. Kongpob rose up from his bed with his back against the bed's headboard.

"Ow!" Arthit shifted his attention from the manga that he was reading on the bed next to Kongpob. He then shut his manga.

"Sawadee khap, P'arthit!" All four of the visitors wai at the older male. Arthit replied with a slight Wai back and a nod. He started to feel embarrassed when Kongpob friends saw him laying on the bed reading manga next to him like this
