Phana's gaze followed Forth's and landed upon a person.
A cute person. Short and pale and adorable.
He returned his gaze to Forth, and noticed the changing emotions in his eyes. From hurt to sadness to longing.
So this was the person Forth was in love with. How could he ever compete with that? Because he was everything that that person wasn't.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Phana watched from a distance as Forth sat silently by the lake. Sometimes he would picked up a pebble and throw it into the pond.
He had come to know that Forth came here whenever he was sad and depressed.
Which was alot nowadays.
He took a deep breath and went near Forth. And quietly sat beside him and offered him a chocolate.
Forth's favourite chocolate.
And he was awarded with a smile. Phana smiled back.
Maybe it was for moments like these, that he hung around Forth, despite knowing his unrequited love for another.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Forth was on his weakest when drunk. And truest too. Phana had found that on the numerous occasions he had accompanied Forth to drink.
Today, Forth had seen Arthit and Kongpob wearing promise rings, and had straight away come here.
And like always, Phana had followed him unquestioningly.
He watched as Forth drank glass after glass of alcohol, till finally, his dam broke and his emotions came flooding out, and he started crying.
Phana's heart ached as he saw Forth crying.
He gathered him in his arms and patted his back.
Let him cry.
Let this pain flow out.
Let him be less burdened each time.
Because a day will come, when Forth will finally be free, and will be in his arms truly.
And one day, he will love Phana back.
And till that day comes, Phana will be there, on Forth's side, steadfastedly, unwavering.
Very sure and waiting, for that one day.
