The junior's heart

His ex-crush(part 1)

Phana and Arthit were walking side by side. Their hands occasionally brushing each other's. Phana desperately wanted to hold Arthit's hand and even made a movement to do so, but Arthit flinched and kept it inside his pocket.

Phana was disappointed and a little hurt of the rejection, so he shoved his hands inside his pocket and moved a little further away.

"Let's go inside this maze", said Arthit and grabbed Phana's hand and went inside. And the whole Time they were inside the maze, Arthit held his hand.

This simple act, though not very daring, made Phana happy. He knew his P'Arthit was trying his best to keep up with him. So he didn't complain when Arthit left his hand again after coming out.

"What next?", Asked Phana.

"Let's just sit and relax", replied Arthit.

So they chose a bench in a corner of the mall and took a seat.

They sat there silently. Arthit was looking at people and Phana was looking at Arthit. One might wonder, why wasting their time like this on a date.

But for Phana, as long as he is with Arthit, he doesn't Mind doing nothing.
But if his P'Arthit wants, he doesn't mind doing anything. As long as P'Arthit is with him. After all, it's said that the company makes things enjoyable.

Phana saw, that Arthit was slowly going red under his observation. Well, he can't help it, to Phana, when ever Arthit's around, he's guilty of being interesting.

"P'Arthit, your shoelaces are almost untied, you should have tied them properly."

Phana bent in front of Arthit, and tied his shoelaces properly.

"You are not even wearing socks. Oh!! Look at that, now your feet are bruised. Why such carelessness P'Arthit?"

Arthit muttered something, but Phana couldn't hear it.

" I couldn't hear you P'Arthit"

"I said that I couldn't find them and I was in a hurry", replied Arthit annoyed.

"Why were you in a hurry? You just have to come and meet....oh" , as soon as Phana realised, he smiled smugly. His P' Arthit was so excited for their date. He felt giddy.

"As much as I appreciate your enthusiasm, I would never want you to get hurt, specially because of me", Phana looked up and their eyes met. They stared at each other, then Arthit broke the contact and looked away, his ears red.

Phana chuckled, his P'Arthit is so shy, yet still so bold.

" Please wait here, I'll go buy some band aids", with that he went away.

When he came back, he saw Arthit talking to a girl animatedly and smiling brightly.

For some reason , Phana felt a little uneasy.

"P'Arthit"

"Oh, you came. Meet my best friend from school, Namtarn", said Arthit happily. Phana greeted her.

"And Namtarn, he's Phana from medical department"

"Oh oon, now you have friends all over the college", remarked Namtarn.
At that, Arthit blushed shyly.

Oon? Just how close were they? Now Phana started having this very ugly feeling at the centre of his chest. To distract himself, he quietly bent down, and applied band aids on Arthit's feet.

"Phana, you are such a nice guy, taking so much care of oon, just like how oon used to take care of me during our school time."

" Jay even used to say that Arthit had a crush on me", she continued.

Wait, what?? Phana's head shot up and he looked at Arthit who looked very embarrassed. Oh!!!so, it's true, concluded Phana.

"Speaking of Jay, how is he? How's it going between you two?"

" About that, we broke up"

" What!!!when did that happened?"

And they started chatting. Phana just stood there silently.

After what like 45 minutes, she decided to leave.

" Oon, let's meet again and catch up. And please, pick up my calls", with that, she left.

Alarm bells rang in Phana's mind. Was she a threat? Should he worry?

With those thoughts in mind, he was silent all the way home.

"Hey"

"HEY"

"HEY!!",Arthit said loudly.

"What??"

"Sorry about that. Are you sulking?"

Phana frowned at that. Sulking maybe, but more then that, he was feeling scared and threatened. What if P'Arthit realise that he still likes her? What if he wants to get back to her?
What if... P'Arthit doesn't want to stay with him anymore?

Phana tensed at that. His thoughts were broken when he felt Arthit holding his hand again.

"There's no one around", he reasoned, looking away.

With just a single touch, all of Phana's doubts vanished. Maybe he's overthinking. Maybe, he needs to trust Arthit.

When they reached Arthit's room, he tiptoed on his feet, and gave a very sweet kiss on Phana's cheek. Smiling shyly, he went inside.

Damn!!he's so cute.Maybe, he just need to mark his ownership.
