TinnCan - Miss Me By A Mile 2/3

"Doctor!" Can exclaim, standing up. "How's my-..." He hesitated. "How's my boyfriend condition?"

"Well, luckily he just having severe malnurished. His blood pressure and the other minor complications earlier have come back to normal now," the doctor said. Smiling knowingly at Can when he adressed Tinn as his 'boyfriend'.

Can take a deep breath. Relieved. Tiny eyes almost bulging out with the amout of sobbing he done before.

"Then, I can take him home with me today, right Doctor?" he ask earnestly.

"Of course," the doctor chuckles. "Just make sure to feed him enough food and water to replenish all those nutrients back."

Can nods comically. "I will!" balling both fists infront of his chest. A 'Thank you, Doctor' is muffled by the lapel of the tall doctor white coat when Can proceed to hugs him briefly after that.

He pull away after a few seconds and walk(because Dr.Ming shouted for him not to run on the hallway earlier) towards that certain sick person room.

"I will nurse you back to health, Ai Tinn. I won't let anyone separated us again." he murmurs. Eyes determined. This time, he will make it right. Steps fasten a bit more.

The doctor, name tag read Dr. Ming silently watch the boy walk away. Lips still upturned slightly when he turn around to the opposite direction. Shaking his head. Ahh..Young love.

But then his steps faltered when he saw who's infront of him. Eyebrow rising dangerously.

Kit. 'This is not good. Did he saw?' Ming subtly gulps his saliva. Laughing nervously while making his way towards his husband.

But as soon as they stand together, Kit had his arm upward, two fingers twisting hard on one of Ming ears.

"Ao, Kit! You-.. OW OWW OWWW. Kit, it hurt!" he yelp loudly. Rubbing his abused ear when the latter let it go.

Kit who was unfazed by his husband sulky pouty face, hardly show any emotion and continue to walk towards the cafe area. Well they were supposed to lunch together after all.

"I'm going to tell N'Tinn that you flirt with his boyfriend later."

"Nooo~ I'm not. I assume you saw it," Ming protested right away. Pointing finger. "He hug me first!" Ming pout harder and grin playfully right after. "Our future nephew-in-law is so cute and tiny. Just like you, Kit!"

Then Kit stops at that and he looks at him in the eye. "Try me."

And that's how his husband incessant whining echoes along the hallway until Kit threaten him to sleep outside their room again. For that week.

Can is having urge to pull out his hair now. All of them!

Not only Tinn refused to budge from the car seat, he won't talk or response to Can words, at all. Even the taxi driver gone restless by their drama. Well, Tinn's the drama king.

"Ai Tinn. Can we not do this now? Uncle is going. And we already arrived at my house," he whispers in one breath, pausing. "Can we continue our marriage fight at home, please?"

Tinn shoots him a glare. Clearly offended. "We're EX since month ago, incase you forgot."

Can's eyes widened, a memory flooding back.

"Ai Tinn. Let's break up."

Oh shit.

But before Can had his chance to explain, a pairs of hands come out from both his side. One's slapping the back of his head, while the other's pulling him away only to be shoved roughly to the other side of the door.

"Maa! N'Le!" Can's jaw went slack as he stared at his mom and his sister, N'Lemon.

"Cantaloupe," their mom calls Can. "Can't even used your brain properly. Tsk tsk. What are you waiting standing there like a pole. Go and make yourself useful. Take all Tinn luggages at the back and bring them upstairs." Mom says, hauling Ai Tinn with one arm, while N'Le had his other arm. And Ai Tinn just follow them without much fuss. Both guiding him from each sides.

"Maaaa. I hate it when you call me by my full name!"

"What should I call you then? Winter melon?"

"Maa!!"

"Shut it P'. Are you sure you are my brother and not a sister instead? Such a whiny ass." his sister sneer at him. "And don't even think of sleeping in your room for the rest of P'Tinn stays, P'Can." she warn. Eyes fixing a pointed look on her brother.

Can could only watch as both of the women turn their backs, literally betrayed him. Coaxing a tired Tinn out of the car gently.

'Traitors!' he think. Bewildered by the sudden turn of event. 'I was going to do that myself.' He sulk. Kicking tiny pebbles on the street. Dragging Ai Tinn huge-ass luggages with him.
