"But i tore down my walls. And open my doors. And made room for one. So baby I'm yours."

"Forth." Beam's calm voice echoed in the still dark room. None of them wanted to get up and open the drapes of the window. It was almost past noon but both of them had not moved from how they were about an hour ago. Beam's head lay in Forth's right arm.
"Hmmn?"
"Were you mad at me?" He asks as his eyes were levelled in Forth's chest watching it rise and fall as he breathes. His fingers traced little circles in Forth's abdomen.
Forth replied without second a thought. "No."
"What were you then?"
"Hurt." Forth says calmly. Beam's finger stopped drawing little circles on his abdomen when he heard.
"But i understand why you did it." Forth continues. "You were pressured to give me answers even when you didn't want to explain at the moment and you just..snapped."
"I'm hard to be with, aren't i? A pain in the ass." Beam mused. It wasn't a statement nor was it a question. But Forth answered anyway.
"No. But even if you were. I just have to deal with it." He held Beam's hand that rested on his chest and squeezed. "I signed up for it. Remember? Besides, even if you were a pain in the butt, you're my pain in the butt. And i love you for that. I'm sorry i walked out on you."
How many million times do people around me have to apologize just for me to feel better? Beam thought, bit mad at himself.
Beam hugged Forth tighter as if to say that everything was fine. He was tired of telling Forth that he didn't have to apologize over and over but obviously, Forth was still guilty that he left him and that he became a horrible mess just moments after.
"It's fine. I'm just glad that you came back. I didn't expect you to."
"I just said i was hurt. I didn't say that i quit. I'm here now and I'm staying. I'm yours."
Forth felt Beam's smile though he can't see his face. Beam was slowly getting back to his usual self by the minute. They had layed in each other's arms for almost two hours now. Everything was going to be okay from now on. He was hopeful.
"Where did you go by the way?" Beam asks after a minute or two of silence.
"Had some drinks at the rooftop of our dorm building. Lam must have dragged me back to my room. I have no memory of how i ended up there."
Beam clucked his tongue, clearly unconvinced.
"Okay. I'm not going to ask how your phone ended up with Lin since you have no memory of anything from last night."
"What?"
"See?" Beam rolls his eyes.
"How?" Forth's eyebrows were almost touching each other as he frowns in confusion trying to remember if he had encountered Lin last night.
