Save Me - A ForthBeam Fanfic

Chapter 35

Beam gets a really weird relationship advice from a high school kid who has thick brows.  Forth makes Beam cry. Forth gets punched in the gut. Oh, and crossovers!

(It may or may not be in that order.)

Epilogue to follow. Or not.

Beam's P.O.V

'Heeyy, when are you coming back? Forth misses you already ~'

I snorted after reading Forth's latest message. I can imagine what Forth must look like right now. This man was getting mushy again and i would've liked to see him do these things in front of my face. But for now, I need to make him believe that I'm not yet in the city. Let's  just hope that Forth or any of our friends isn't in Siam Center right now or we might cross paths.

I drove back to the city alone after politely refusing Pa's offer to be accompanied by a driver. I can survive the traffic here thank you very much. None of my friends, even Forth, knows that I'm already back. I told them I'll be home the next day.

I need to get something. What that is, i have no idea.

I stopped by Siam Center to get something for Forth. He didn't ask for anything but I just want to give him something. Why? Because Forth is the only idiot that forgets that his birthday is in two days, that's why.

Now I'm loitering around at the shops while trying to decide what to get for him. It escaped my mind to decide what to get him beforehand and now I'm seeing all kinds of possibilities and yet I don't know what to get. Or which shop to check first.

I sighed. 'Fuck it.'

I decide to check every shop. There must be something, i mean, there has to be, right?

I stand in the middle of the corridor and I see two shops of clothes facing each other. How about clothes then?

Wait. No, Forth doesn't like clothes so much. (He's almost always half naked when he's at my room so..) and if i buy him clothing, I sure as hell am the one who's going to wear it anyway. So no, no clothes for him. Besides, he might look too good and what if more girls flock around him? I'm stressed enough about girls (and boys) from the faculties closer to his building than mine. No. No clothes. Maybe some other time.

So I walked past the shops of clothing and then stopped in front of a bookstore.

How about books?

I frowned as i stood in front of this store, tapping my foot on the floor. Forth likes to read. But i don't know what kind of book to get him. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I should really pay more attention to him and the things he likes. This is getting frustrating.

Just then, two boys wearing different high school uniform walked past me and into the store. One of them immediately went to the skin care magazines and started flipping pages. The other one disappeared somewhere near the shelves of Japanese comics. I recognized those are the same things Wayo likes to read but i forgot what they're called. Was it Lucy? Loki? Lufi? I don't know.

I decided to go inside too. I envy these kids because they know what they're here for and me..well, not so much.

I'm now standing in front of a bookshelf. It's something about Robotic mechanisms and all that. I don't think he likes to read these kinds. How long am i staring at these books? Almost ten minutes now. Wow this is really frustrating.

In my periphery, the boy from earlier started sidestepping towards me, although i have no idea why he's doing that cause we are the only customers on this side of the alley. He's pretty weird.
