Keep your hands off him ( TinnxCan )

The neighbour

*Nic's house *

The day had not been easy for Nic, not the least bit, and in his mind he was thinking how everything pieced together constructed a decent plot for a daytime drama. He had managed to drag his sister away from those love birds under false pretences but he was not really sure if he would be able to jump in to their rescue every time though. Just the thought alone was enough to give him a headache . He shook his head at the flashback to her pissed off expression when she had asked for an explanation for the rude intrusion . When he simply shrugged his shoulders and mumbled something about jetlag, she swiftly jumped to the conclusion that her brother was being clueless. On their taxi ride back home ,Chompoo had not once kept her mouth shut about how her brother should know better and learn to read the scenario in the future.

After pacifying his sister with the promise that he will make it a point to sing her praises infront of Ae if the chance allows, he proceeded to his room for some much needed peace and quiet. He knew that he could sing till the cows came home and Ae would still have no room in his line of vision for her . As soon as he closed his room door behind him, he flung his body on his bed and in the process hitting the back of his head with the headboard of the bed. *Ouch !* he had forgotten how tall he has gotten since grade school and the bed no longer could accommodate his tall stature . He set up right and readjusted his posture to let his leg fall off at the end of the bed as he casually glanced around his old bedroom. Everything was the same as he had left it 7 years ago, all except for the couple of luggages that he had not gotta around to unpack. He stretched over to grab the picture that was on the night stand , he glanced down at the young couple wearing the most enchanting smile on their faces looking up at him. On a closer look, you could see that in the woman's arm was a baby that she cradled so loving close to her.The woman in the picture could be no older than 18 , and standing beside her was a very distinguished looking man in his prime not very much older than her. He was of European descend and remarkably tall for his age which made the pilot uniform he wore even smarter . Nic looked at his young parents frozen in time in the picture and wondered how things would have been different if his father had not gotten into that horrible accident that had claimed his life , leaving behind a young widow and child . He knew his mother would have mourned her entire life if she had not accepted the proposal of Chompoo's Father who was a close friend of his parents . The fact that she was able to concentrate on starting a new chapter was more than Nic could ask for and his step-father was a kind man . Even at a young age Nic was very considerate and thoughtful as he decided to let his mother start a new chapter of her own after Chompoo was born by choosing to live with his paternal grandparents in the States.
His mother had been distraught at the idea but seeing how he was so adamant, she had given him her blessings . Thinking about the past made him feel very empty inside and he
quietly put the picture frame down and walked towards the window . He asked himself how wonderful it would be to not be so considerate or thoughtful for a change and just run...

"Run run runaway, runaway baby
Before I put my spell on you
You better get get getaway, getaway darling"( Runaway baby by Bruno Mars )

His melancholic thoughts were shattered by ear blasting music from the house next door. His room it seems was facing his neighbour's window directly and it was uncomfortably close . He could easily throw a piece of paper into the waste basket that was on the other side of his neighbour's bed room . Before he could continue his thoughts on a lack of privacy, a shirtless figure dancing dramatically to the lyrics was seen prancing around the opposite room. A smile gradually formed on Nic's face and before he knew it ,he was tearing in laughter at the comedy skit that was unfolding right before him . Wait a moment! He got around to hold his laughter long enough to take a good look at the boy who was the source of his joy .. Can! He could not help disturbing this fellow and in the best version of his wolf whistle he could muster up ,he blew one to catch the boy's attention .

Can was taken aback by the sudden catcalling that sliced through the air that he stopped in his tracks and he frantically looked around . Right outside his room , the window that was always locked except of sunny days when Chompoo's mother would occasionally appear to air the room out , he hardly saw the window open . And that evening , not only was the window open , he saw the guy that was the reason he got "wet" ( no pun intended ) earlier in the day ,casually leaning on the ledge . His broad shoulders filling the frame of the window just right and looking very smug at that .

Can regained his composure and shouted out the window ," What in the world are you doing there ?"

" I don't know what you are doing but I am in my room ." Nic teased the boy by mimicking some of the dance moves the latter was displaying . Can blushed a deep shade of pink as he grabbed the towel that he had thrown on the floor after drying off and proceeded to wrap the towel around his chest in the manner that ladies often did to cover their bosoms. He had no idea why he did what he did but it was of great importance it seems that he safeguarded his chastity.

" Dude relax it not like I have never seen what you have before " Nic tried to put the boy at ease . But at the back of his head, he could not help but notice how unblemished his skin looked and how absolutely adorable he looked in the way he danced so carefree to the lyrics of the song .

Can smiled sheepishly at his neighbour and made a mental note to be more mindful of his actions from this night on . At that awkward moment, Lemon came dashing into the moment with phone in hand looking very determined .
"P! Your boyfriend would like you to pick up his calls "
After delivering what seems like an important message from the supreme ruler of the universe, she turned and exited the room as swiftly as she came in. Can quickly grabbed his phone and called his boyfriend on speed dail and accidentally pressing the  speaker mode in the process .

" Tin ! I am sorry I was not able to pick up your call Na ~ I was busy bathing. Ofcourse I did not forget to wish you good night ... Rab Phan dee na khrap"

Nic was very surprised at the sudden change in Can's tone of voice and could not help but wonder how it would be like to hear that gentle tone of voice talking to him every night. He wondered how being around such tough athletes had made him miss the soft human interactions and being in this safe environment was evoking in him a sense of comfort like any he had felt in years . He quickly shook off those thoughts and decided to make it interesting instead.. he did not know why ..but he shouted just loud enough to let the other person on the line hear him as he stared straight across the bedroom window and to the boy who had single handedly made a mess of his emotions .

" Phan dee na Can " ( goodnight Can ) and disappeared into his room feeling very pleased with himself that he had made Can blush once again. Gosh it was becoming a habit !

Little did Nic realised how the person on the line was going to have one of the most sleepless nights of his life .
