The Moon and his lover (a forthbeam fanfiction)

Resonance

Hi everyone, this chapter is going to focus on Pete's feelings and what's going in his life. The song describes best what he is thinking.

I would like to dedicate this chapter to @Darzls who is always the first to comment and to vote. Don't worry ForthBeam will always be the endgame in my stories.

This chapter will be short and sad because I feel a bit down today.

Music:  Holding a heart by Toby Lightman.

Space Trivia.

Resonance:  A state in which an orbiting object is subject to periodic gravitational perturbations by another.  

Edit: Corrections has been done and proofread by @sas75487.

Enjoy!

General Pov:

"Do you want me to drop you off on your way to school?" Rangsiman asks Pete who is still eating his breakfast.

"No, it's fine. I'll walk." Pete answers quietly, playing with his food.

Too quiet for his father's taste, he frowns clearly worried. His wife left earlier so she can spend the first day with Tamwong at his school.

Rangsiman put his briefcase down on the kitchen isle. Pete plays with his food for a moment; bags under his eyes proving to his father he didn't sleep last night. His son looks anxious.

'It could be the first day of school...but it looks like there is more than that.' He muses.

Rangsiman drinks the last drop of his coffee. He misses his sons. Pete was right, the house felt empty without them, but he couldn't stop them from pursuing their dreams.

"Pete, it is perfectly normal for you to miss your older brothers. They have always been home, so now that they've gone away to..." Small sobs cut him off.

Pete broke into tears. Rangsiman sat next to his son to hug him. The young boy buries his face in his father's chest, crying his heart out.

"Pete...it will be fine."

His father rubs his back softly, he hiccups between his tears.

"Do you want me to call your school to excuse you?" He asks after his son's sobbing slows down. Pete shook his head, his father didn't buy it.

"Pete..."

"I am better now. I was feeling stressed out by everything that happened, and this is my first day at my new school."

Rangsiman looks into his eyes suspiciously, but Pete's gaze is unflinching. His father pursed his lips in displeasure, but he prefers to drop the subject for now, maybe his wife will be more successful.

"Well, I am going to change, otherwise no one is going to believe I am the CEO."

Pete chuckles softly rubbing his puffy red eyes. He begins to gather his school bag when his father's call stops him.

"Wait for me Pete. I will drop you off to school."

"...but Dad..."

"What? Are you ashamed to be seen with your old Dad?"

Pete almost rolls his eyes in amusement.

'Old? More like a heartbreaker!'

"Fine, but hurry up!"
