Save Me - A ForthBeam Fanfic

Chapter 18

'I'm not telling you that it's going to be easy. I'm telling you that it's going to worth it.'

"So what happened that night?" Kit asked Beam as they were making their way to the cafeteria. Phana wasn't paying attention because he was busy with his phone flirting with his cute boyfriend.

"Nothing much." Said Beam who shrugged.

"What a controversial answer." Kit rolled his eyes. "Spit it out already, what are you boyfriends now?"

"I guess."

"You don't seem happy though."

"I am." Beam nodded but Kit didn't seem convinced.

"Did i ever tell you that you suck at lying?!" He quipped.

"I am happy Ai'Kit. Trust me. It's just, i - i don't know until when."

Kit sighed while he patted Beam's back. He didn't say anything further. He knows how hard it is for Beam to stay happy about anything. This relationship of Beam and Forth will be a bit bumpy, especially with Beam's current emotional state.

Phana glanced at his best friends before sending a LINE message to someone.

"The usual place. Later."

Exams are just a week away and everyone from every faculty are at their state where they prefer to sacrifice partying and sleep to study until dawn, but not for Phana and Forth, these two are geniuses.

They met at the pub where they always have drinking session but this time its just the two of them. Phana didn't bring Kit with him since Kit was with Ming and they were both 'studying'. He didn't bring Wayo since the little guy needed the time to study. Forth left Beam in his room for a bit after they had dinner, he didn't tell him the reason why he was going out for a while.

"How are you and Beam?" Phana asked after their liquor was on the table.

"You ask like we hadn't seen each other for a while. It's only been two days Ai'Pha."

"I know. I just hope you know what you're getting yourself into."

"I'm preparing myself for that Pha. Getting over things like that takes time. I know why you're worried. But trust me on this. I've never been sure of anything my entire life before your friend came along."

Pha nodded. "Fine then. I've known you for a while now. I know you're a good person. But if you ever do something, you know what will happen. Right?"

Forth smirked. "Yeah. I wouldn't want that. Don't worry Ai'Pha."

Then they clanked their bottles together as a sign of agreement. They stayed there for a while to finish the six bottles of beer served to them. They were fine after that since they both have high tolerance to alcoholic beverages.

Forth decided to go back to Beam's room since he told him he would be back later. The door was locked when he tried to open it. He thought Beam was already asleep so he turned around to go back to his apartment but the door suddenly opened and Beam peeked out with droopy eyes. He must have woken him when he wiggled the door knob.
