A.N. It broke my heart to write this but Arthit must learn to control his emotions while Kong must learn not to be silently adjusting to Arthit's mood.

That was it, a cheater he had said, it was as if a knife was stabbed into my heart. The feeling of hurt was immense and inside I could feel rage seeping onto the surface. I tried to hold it back and keep control but the pain in my heart made it impossible, he called me a cheater, I had never been more loyal to anything and anybody in my life, being at his side for some time now I had weathered death, guns and psychopaths to be with him and now I was a cheater.

My mind turned blank and then red, the look on my face was one of pure rage and anger, my jaw clenched in rage, I went towards him, not seeing the fear in his eyes, he was slowly stepping backwards, moving his jaw but not being able to utter even a single word.
I had grabbed him at his collar, but he still didn't want to listen whatever I tried to get him to. My anger increased, he wouldn't even listen before making stupid deductions and assumptions about me? I had always done what I could to understand him and never without asking him assumed anything and now like he was like this. It felt like a massive betrayal. When he didn't listen to anything I just slapped him hard and rough in the face to get him silent. And silent he became, but tears dropped from his eyes, while the form of my hand was printed on his cheek in bright shades of red

Who tells you I am with some girl? Yes somebody approached me at the uni but I rejected her clearly while telling her I already was in a relation. Aside of that I went through the threat of death,an assassination attempt and a lot more just to be with you and now you think I cheated? Do you want me to really cheat so you can distinguish the difference?
He was a sobbing mess by now, face in his hands, crying his eyes out, but when I walked towards him he staggered backwards ducking into a corner, with fear on his face, don't hit me please, I was stupid please forgive, now you really did it Kong, after knowing what he experienced as a child you could have known talking with such a voice to him would have a bad effect on him. I went towards him but he pleaded for mercy asking me to go away. I broke, what had I done now.

He wouldn't come towards me but I wouldn't leave. Leaving now would be equal to risking our relationship. Instead I just went to sit on my knees in front of him, silent, if he was afraid of my anger than I would try showing my vulnerable side.

Just hit me in the face if you want P', I deserve it.

For a long time I just sat there like that, waiting for him to move, I had tried to get to him but that sure wasn't a good idea, he was afraid of even my touch on his back, shivering and cowering. So there I sat crying, while he laid in the corner sobbing as well.

He had slowly moved towards me, I could hear it, what would he do? Slap me in return, I had prepared for it, for him just pushing me out and breaking up. I had closed my eyes waiting for the inevitable until I suddenly felt a hand on my cheek, while soon another one softly ruffled my hair, I was pulled in by two strong arms, Kong, it was all he uttered, but for me it said more than a thousand words.

Arthit Pov

I had been terrified by his behavior, the old memories of my father returned, how he would hit me sometimes in his anger, it wasn't that I was afraid of Kongpob but it was the reaction that came from the pst experiences. When he slapped me my heart bled, I felt as if I were to die, was this it, were WE a past tense? Would our relationship be over now. I listened to his angry Tirade, he wasn't a cheater how could I have been so stupid of jumping to a conclusion without asking him and accusing him.

When I sat there in the corner my heart hammered in my chest, I needed all effort to prevent myself from hyperventilating and after I relaxed a bit I sobbed to my hearts content. I wanted him to come and console me until I understood my gestures had led him to wait for me, He had kneeled somewhere but I didn't exactly know where. I crawled around, feeling around me with my hands while trying to find him until I suddenly felt his cheek and hair. Without thinking further I just pulled him in my embrace never wanting to let him go, while laying my head in his neck, sobbing and crying. Never in my life will I hit you Sim, so please never ever say anything like that again.

I felt a hand caress the impact zone of his slap, someone putting pecks on it, I am so terribly sorry P', so am I kong. Both of us cried. Both of us sat on the floor, both of us had pulled the arms around the other, hadn't it been for the fight we had it could have been a truly sweet moment. I shouldn't have been like this Kong, I should have talked to you instead of jumping to conclusions while also taking out my emotions on you. But it is so damned difficult to control them, but please help me with it because doing it alone is impossible.

I will P', next time we should talk if something is bothering you instead of you keeping it inside until you burst. But Oon, please listen to this and never forget it: I'll never leave you, you have captured my heart and nobody shall ever have it.

I was stupid in my reasoning Kong, you were right to silence me that moment though the way you did it hurt my heart. I felt a hand on my cheek, I should have done it differently but I was consumed by anger at the moment. But at least we're even now, huh? You also slapped me once, I poked him between his ribs, Ouch! What was that for? My payback, my cheek is still glowing, aww come here I'll kiss it all away, you think? For sure! Well first you'll need to catch me,

The following hours we were playing around like little children, romping on the the floor, chasing through the room, playing hide and seek. it might seem too childish but judging from our nervous laughter we really needed to vent some steam. Again it had all ended well but we both had learned something this time. In the end such events only strengthened our relationship clearing up potential hurdles.

Gotcha, fine I surrender, under the condition we take a bath together and I get a extra kiss.
That's not a condition, that's a gift, (whispering) we should fight more often if this is the result KONG!!!!  Want me to post your nickname on the internet? Want me to update us on facebook to boyfriends? Rather not, but did you say you didn't want to bathe together? You must have misunderstood, no I heard it clearly! Oh, lets see, (leans in and kisses) I indeed must have misheard.

He always knew how to clear the tension from the air. We both chuckled at the end. He looked lovely, how I wished he would be able to see me. Aside of that we had to discuss something else, the underlying cause of our fight was still untouched in our talk. Spare it for the bath Kong, then he will be relaxed, and will be easier to talk about it. Hmm that wasn't such a bad idea

———————————————
A.N.
I know it reeks of the earlier fight, but that time they just said sorry, and if one doesn't learn from ones' mistakes then history will repeat itself. That's why they had another fight in this and the previous chap.
So bear with me,
