Arthit Pov

In 6 days we would go to Kongpobs parents, he had called the this morning to pick a date. We had determined it couldn't wait much longer since we had spotted an apartment for the two of us.

Since that dinner where he told me he wanted to tell his parents soon we had been searching for an apartment. We had gone all over the city and surrounding towns to look but we hadn't found one that suited our wishes. But yesterday we finally visited one that felt right for both of us. Until now either one of both of us had a reason for not liking an apartment but this one felt comfortable. We had immediately taken an option before returning home for the final discussion.

Flashback

We can go on for years Kong but we both like this one so why search any further? There might be a better one with a larger t..... Kong, we are gonna buy it, so we can redecorate it change colors or whatever you want changed. We have searched for two months and now we have one we both like why not take it? (Kong whispering) want the best of the best for the 2 of us P', I know Kong but this one is really great, don't go too far in your drive for perfection, enough is enough. This one is fine. Are you good with it? Sure, so you only hesitate because of me, (Kongpob nodding), Kong? Yes, (shyly) awww, you really worry too much, Don't be afraid I'll be dejected after we meet your parent and regret moving to an apartment Kong. But what,,,, how do you know t... I am not a fool Kong, I can sense you are afraid of facing your parents, which I understand but please say it out loud instead of stalling, it is not that I am afraid of my parents, it is more like me being afraid you'll regret moving in with me as my lover after we tell them and they react etc.

At that point I had taken Kongpob in my lap, he was sobbing a bit which was a rarity. He didn't often show his weak side. I knew from experience how difficult it was to show ones vulnerabilities but he also found it difficult because he didn't want to burden me extra. He didn't really say it directly but between his words I could sometimes read the underlying message.

It is not wrong or a problem Sim, tell me your fears, it is not a burden, it is trust, how can we help each other when we don't tell the other our problems and fears. It is what you used to tell me, remember? I know P', but sometimes it is so darn difficult to tell ones worries, I really want to live together yet I don't want to burden you with the consequences, and what if I want us to live together too no matter what happens or what people might think? Will you Oon? Have you forgotten what happened at the Uni Sim a month ago? Uni? How we walked at the campus holden hands and sharing a kiss with others making sarcastic and hurtful remarks?  How I told them I was in love with you and that they should shut up?

Kongpob Pov (flashback inside flashback)

I had really forgotten that episode, he had ranted against those pricks fuming with anger but not letting go. Instead of shy and afraid he had flown into rage nearly molesting them with his fists. Hadn't it been for me holding him back he would have assaulted them in his anger.

End of flashback in flashback (back to arthit Pov)

I do P', (softer) I am sorry P', don't be Kong, feelings need to be taken care of and learned from. Don't be sorry for what you feel, instead try to fight your fears, or ask/tell me. I won't lie to you, and if I wasn't ready to face your parents I wouldn't have agreed to meet them. But right now, comes what comes, we will tell them, at least that is my view, and remain together whatever they try to undo our bond and love.
