Fragile Hearts

Untitled Part 1

A/N: This is my first SOTUS story. It's a one-shot, for now, but after watching 'Our Sky" Kongpob and Arthit's story, I MIGHT have an idea on how to continue this. But I make no promises. I apologize if Arthit or Kongpob seem to be out of character. They basically took on a life of their own when I started writing this.

DISLCLAIMER: I claim no ownership over the characters mentioned in this story. I only claim the idea of this fanfic itself and nothing more.  Also, I have no knowledge of the Thai language so I apologize in advance for any mistakes found in this story.

Everything seemed to be going wrong for Arthit. First, the fax machine decided to malfunction, then he had spilled his pink milk, then the supplier they were counting on had to back out at the last minute. To top it off he had been scolded one again by Khun Praga. All he wanted was to finish the day and head back to his apartment for a nice hot shower and maybe a movie. After the business trip, he and the rest of the department had to take, he had been completely drained, but insisted on continuing his work.

Earth turned to see her co-worker with his head on his desk, "Arthit are you all right?"

Arthit slowly turned his head so he was looking at Earth, "To be honest that's a loaded question."

"Well, we managed to get a new supplier in time so that's one less thing to worry about," Som-O said leaning over her desk to look at Arthit, "Earth and I can take care of everything else. Why don't you head home tonight?"

Arthit wanted to protest but seeing as how all his energy seemed to have sapped itself from his body without him even noticing, he knew arguing would be a moot point. Still, he was stubborn, "But it's Friday, I-"

"Can start your rest early and return fresh for the beginning of the week," Earth responded, "Go, we'll finish up. Everything is almost done anyway."

Arthit reluctantly stood up before Waiing the others and making his way out of the office. On the way he pulled his cell-phone from his pocket, He was surprised to see a text from Kongpob waiting for him.

K: I know you said not to contact you, but please at least let me know if you returned from your business trip safely.

Due to the fact, Kongpob's hazing duties were building up, and his business trip neither of them had been able to see each other very often in the past several weeks. Arthit smiled as he sent his boyfriend a message

A: Just leaving the office but I'll be home within the hour.

Within seconds a response came through.

K: Would you mind some company? Or do you have more work for the rest of the evening?

Arthit allowed a small smile to escape his lips. If Kongpob was asking, it meant that he was free. However, he couldn't allow himself to seem too keen so he answered in his usual manner.

A: I was planning to sleep after eating b

Without trying to he accidentally clicked sent and before he could finish trying to adjust the text another one came in.

K: I see, I should have taken that into consideration. I am sure you are still quite busy. Please take care on your way home. I apologize if my text reached you at a bad time. Have a good night P'Arthit.

Arthit stared at his phone for several seconds before hastily typing in a message.

A: You can come over if you want.
