Chances on Love

Unspoken

"Awwwww, be gentle Tin!"
Can said in annoyance while Tin was applying ointment on the scratches in his arm..

"Bear with it! You idiot! who told you to play with that cat! look what happened?!" Tin scolded Can.

They were on the park earlier out for a morning jog when Cantaloupe suddenly disappeared out of his sight..

When he finally found him he saw him on the pavement and his left arm was full of scratches..

Tin sighed
"I feel like I'm taking care of a third grader!"
The he shuffled Can's hair using his palm..

They still need to go to the hospital later for injections just to be sure, as they don't know where the cat was from.

"Quit it Tin! You're ruining my look.."
Can shoving the other's hand..

"As if it matters.." Tin snapped at Can..

"It does!" Can said with conviction..

Lately, Tin is always on his phone.

Can knows it's normal especially if it's business related, even when he is around, he takes the call and never goes outside to answer..

But these past few days.. his phone rings at the exact same time, always around two in the afternoon.

Tin won't answer it if he is around and will go to another place to take it.

Can wanted to be angry.. but he doesn't know who is on the other line..or maybe he is just over thinking things again right?

"And why is your hair nor your looks matter Cantaloupe?!" Tin asked mocking Can..

Can uttered inaudible words..

Can looked at the wall clock...
It's two again in the afternoon and as expected,
Tin's phone rang and before Tin could grab it..
Can took it then stood up and ran..

He looked on the phone and it was only a number.. Can frowned.. "Who the hell is this?!" he asked but didn't have the courage to find out and answer.

"Cantaloupe?!!!!" Tin's angry voice filled the unit..

Can rushed outside of the unit and went to the elevator...

"I'm an athlete.. you can't catch me Tin.."
He said laughing..

The elevator door opened and two men in black came outside and carefully carried Can back inside..

Tin was just sitting casually on the sofa with his legs crossed..

"Who said I need to waste my breath catching you Cantaloupe?" Tin raised his left brow and gestured his bodyguards to put Can beside him then instructed them to leave.

Tin then put his arm around Can.. "Phone", he
commanded..

Can pouted but took out the phone and gave it to his master.

Tin checked his phone and sighed,
then looked at the sinner with piercing eyes..

"I missed a very important call Cantaloupe.. You should be punished.. Hard.." Tin said in a serious tone.

Can stiffened on his seat..
They just made out last night and that made him almost cripple this morning......

Tin laughed as he saw the other swallow hard and his thought's written all over his face..
"Get your perverted head out of the gutter silly!"

Can then cleared his throat before answering..
"Then what punishment are you talking about?!"

Tin rested his back on the chair...
"Cook dinner for me."

Can stood up and said..
"Aye aye Captain!"

Can was even humming a tune while preparing everything, "So easy.. Cooking is so easy" he kept on singing the same phrase that he only invented that moment.

While Can was busy looking on his phone trying to learn and follow the recipe he saw..

Tin took his phone and went to the veranda..

He dialled the number whom he missed to speak with.

"Any news about Tul?" he asked..
"He was seen roaming your location Sir.. but he quickly disappeared." responded by the person on the other line.

"Just keep a watch around the area at all times, how about Chompoo?!" he followed up..

"Still out of the radar Sir.." Answered again by the other person on the line..

"Don't ever leave Cantaloupe and his family unattended.. If something happens to them.. I'll hold all of you accountable.." Tin said threatening the other person on the line..

"Understood Sir.." Call then ended.

"And they said, this is the best bodyguard/investigation company this country can offer.. and yet they can't even provide rapid results" Tin said after finishing the call.

He went back inside and watched Cantaloupe prepare the food.

"Hmmm.. should I ask this little guy to move in with me?.." Tin thought..

"He's literally living here anyway."
He said laughing silently at himself.

"Are you laughing at me?!"
Cantaloupe said while hiding away from the killer cooking oil splatter..

Tin shook his head..
"Among us two Cantaloupe.. you are the rich kid and not me.." he said while taking over the cooking as there was oil everywhere...

"Just sit there and do not move an inch and watch how to cook without destroying the kitchen your highness." Tin said jokingly..

Can just sat down and watched Tin cooked everything.. Not a single splatter or mess..

He was able to prepare everything in less than an hour..

The two where eating silently when Tin called his attention..

"Can..." He whispered his name..

"Hmmm.." Can murmured.. mouth is stuffed with food..

"Do you want to move in with me... permanently?!"
Tin asked clearing his throat..

Can looked at Tin and swallowed..
"Are you asking for my hand in marriage Tin?"

Tin who was eating choked on his food..
"Idiot.. not marriage.. I'm asking if you want to stay and live here permanently."

"Shouldn't we get married before we move in? that's what couples do right?" asked Can innocently.

"Then what are you doing here Cantaloupe?"
Tin asked starting to get irritated.

Can murmured again..

"Never mind.." Tin said then stood up..
"I'll just make a call.." he said and went to the room..

Can looked at the vacant chair in front of him and tears warning to fall..

"Don't you want to marry me Tin?"
"Am I not the one you want to spend the rest of your life with?"

He bowed his head and continued to finish his meal..

Tin sighed and pressed his back against the door..

"I want to spend my every breath with you Cantaloupe..."

"I just can't marry you now.. not until Tul is stopped..."
