[Kengkla x Techno] Unfinished Business (Love by Chance Fanfic)

Chapter 8 - Part 1

The evening goes surprisingly well for Techno. After the tense moment before dinner, he didn't know what to expect, but Kengkla left him alone the rest of the night, sticking to Technic's side. After the meal and before everyone turned in for the night, they all played cards and drank a few beers. Techno was hesitant to do so, cautious to drink now. Though he knew his friends wouldn't let anything happen, he still only had two or three, getting himself relaxed without losing any control.

Type and Champ didn't drink much either, but Can had a few more than he should. He always got whiney when his was drunk, more than usual, and kept crying about how his "that guy in IC" wouldn't talk to him. Techno kept telling Can he had no idea what he was talking about, but it didn't stop the younger from continuing to talk about it. Eventually, Good had enough and forced him to go to bed. Thankfully, drunk Can passes out easy too. He was surprised to see Kengkla didn't drink like everyone else, but he was almost happy for it, afraid to see what the other was like uninhibited.

Techno ended up turning in early to escape the younger's pleading eyes.It only proved the boy's innocence and made Techno feel guiltier than before. If it wasn't for his actions that night, they would be nothing more than casual acquaintances through Technic. Instead, Kengkla was declaring his feelings, calling him his boyfriend, and giving him affection.

"I just wanted to show you how much I liked you," Kengkla had said after kissing him with such urgency that Techno almost passed out. He wasn't used to thiss. It was too much; it was confusing. Techno didn't know how to deal with it. But Kengkla seemed to enjoy it, and if it satisfied him enough, maybe that was how Techno would take responsibility for his actions. He just didn't expect Kengkla to be so eager all the time.

"I like it a lot. I love the taste of P'No."

When he went to bed that night, Techno couldn't stop thinking of the younger's words, ringing in his head until morning. He knew it would difficult to avoid the other without alerting Type or his brother. He didn't need them getting suspicious. So he came up with a plan that morning while they ate breakfast, which he ended up cooking again.

Techno waits until everyone is gathered at the table to bring it up. "So, uh," He starts, and they all look up at once, munching on the dim sum he made. "I was thinking of today's plans, and I had a few ideas."

Type snorts. "Finally taking your role as captain seriously, Ai' No?"

He should've expected that reaction. Pointing his chopsticks across the table, he glares at Type then turns to Champ who starts laughing. "Shut up, Ai' Asshole," He barks. "I'm the one who's been here before, besides Ai' Nic. So I know what's fun to do."

Can muffles around his food, slapping his hand on the table, and Good at his side turns to Techno. "He said...we should go...swimming, P'No," Good translates dryly.

Techno rolls his eyes. "No shit," He mumbles then turns on his phone sitting on the table to pull open his notes. "Anyway, I suggest we go explore into town first while everything is still open. Then we can grab lunch there and after that there's some beach volleyball stuff set up in the yard and-"

He 's cut off by Can who's swallowed his food now. "Swim!" Can shouts.

"Ai' Can, stop yelling at me before I jump across this table," Techno snaps back and reaches out to grab at the other, but Kenkla at his side grabs the sleeve of his shirt, directing his attention elsewhere. He sits back down then turn to Kengkla who's staring at him with a smile, letting go of Techno's shirt.

"What else, Ai' No?" Type asks, and Techno looks back at him, drawing his gaze from Kengkla.

"Swimming...then dinner?" Techno finishes, playing with a piece of food on his plate. "Any problem with that?"
