Brothers

Their brotherly relationship were cemented when the younger broke up with his long term girlfriend.

It was indeed a tough time for Krist who true to his nature had tried and tried his best to hold onto the relationship even when it was obvious to him and everyone around that the time had come for them to move on. They had outgrown each other but as with first love or first serious relationship or it might be normal with being with someone for so long, it was tough to move on.

The older is of a different temperament. One that is shaped by past relationships and also by the loss of a loved one. Love for him is something that if it comes then it comes, if not then he is contented enough with his father's love.

If love had moved on, then he will just say thank you for the memories and learn from it be it good or bad. And when Krist showed up at his dorm late one night, visibly upset and breaking down at the sight of him, he knew what all of them had known is now obvious to Krist too.

That ship of first love had already sailed away.

He had opened his arms and the younger walked in like a lost child who had found his safe haven. Singto stroke the younger's back in long calm strokes as the other sobs and till the younger calmed down. In front of the closed front door of his small dorm, Singto found himself cradling Krist who fell asleep in his embrace after the emotional upheaval. His eyes lingered on the tears still on the other's lashes and on those wet cheeks and sighed to himself. Krist is better suited with smiles, not tears.

As they neared the end of the filming of the second season of the series that made them way more popular beyond their own expectations, they grew even closer as they spend most of their time together. It was for one of the scenes where they need to travel to the beach and stay overnight on location where they end up sharing a room.

It was late at night where they should be asleep given the grueling schedule of that day but both of them were far too awake for some reason. Singto lay on his bed looking up at the dark ceiling while Krist lay on his side, looking at Singto's dark silhouette on the bed across from his.

"Do you feel lonely?"

He heard the question and thought long and hard about it. Krist thought Singto had fallen asleep and was going to turn to the other side when a reply was finally given.

"Of course I do."
"Then why are you single? I mean you are smart, funny in your weird way, damn gorgeous too.."

A soft laughter from Singto silenced Krist.

"Gorgeous huh?"

The younger felt his cheeks heating up at the teasing. He felt the need to defend himself.

"Yes gorgeous! I appreciate beauty of every form and you are definitely one!"

Singto turned his head toward Krist, a smile still tugging his lips upwards. Krist is indeed so childlike still, he is honest and truthful to a fault and sometimes without caring that people might misunderstand him.

"It is not fair to the other person if I am in a relationship. I barely have time for myself and family much less a lover."

Krist absorbed the answer and being Krist, he just need to know.

"But don't you have... needs?"

Singto bit down his lip, knowing the younger would be hurt if he laugh at the serious question.

"Of course I do but you do know we have two capable hands and there are certain other toys around that we can use"

Singto wondered if he is going to hell for telling Krist all these, sometimes the younger is so innocent despite the outward portrayal to the media. He do feel like he is corrupting the younger at times.
