Another Me, and You

Fragment No. 7

A/N : just a telling, guys.. This is the scene that Arthit from "The Dream Brought You to Me" saw.

****

"P' Arthit.." Kong decided to visit one weekend, bearing pink milk as a gift. Of course Arthit let him inside his dorm room. After his junior settled down on his chair, Kong told him why he decided to come instead of texting or call.

"P' Bright said something about you worried that I would leave you?" he hesitatingly said.

..nosy Bright!

"Oh.. that's.." Arthit feels awkward and doesn't know what to say. He also doesn't dare to look up and stare right to Kongphob's eyes. His junior's face turned serious.

"P' Arthit." Kong called. The older man stubbornly buried his head, hands tightening the hug on the feet. He can heard Kong sighed helplessly. A moment of silence, and then he feels a warmth settling beside him, and a stare that won't look away from him.

"I don't know.. I don't know, Kong.." finally Arthit had enough. He decided to pour everything from his heart and let himself cry. "This is all so confusing.. I don't know what to do.."

"P' Arthit khrup.. I'm here." Kong tells him. His junior reached for his hand, grasping it gently. "If you want me to be here, I won't ever let you go. You just have to trust me."

Silence. And then, Arthit's head rise a little bit, eyes peeking. "What if this is only a dream?"

The hand that holding his tightened, he can look a fierce determination on Kong's face. "I promise I won't love you less, Phi."

Arthit still feel unconvinced.

"Even if when you think that it's enough. Even if you can't accept me as your lover. Even your lost memories never come back. I'll always be here, just like I promised you on the bridge. I won't ever be tired walking after you, without knowing where this will end. I still want to be beside you." Kong declared.

"Kong.."

"I will be here waiting for you, Phi." His junior smiled.

"Then.. what if I'm not P' Arthit you knew and love?" Arthit was hesitant to say this, but it need to be told. Surprisingly, there's a gentle smile on Kong's face.

"P' Arthit.. do you know, I fell for you more ever since you scolded me in that classroom." The confession makes the older man blinked.

..huh?

"I only fall more and more everyday I spent my days with you, Phi. I've never love you less."

"But.." Arthit can't believe what he is hearing. Isn't that mean..

"You still look pale." Kong observed. "I want you to rest now. Don't think about it too much."

"But, Kong.." Arthit wants to protest, but his junior has none of it. grudgingly, Arthit follow the younger man's instruction to slip inside the bed and cover himself with his blanket. Just when he almost fall asleep, he asked him. "Will you be there when I woke up?"

"Of course, Phi. I will guard your sleep. Rest, now."
