You Just Don't Know

It's You

Tin kissed him back, but before they could do the nasty again, Can's phone rang. Tin sat up so Can could find his phone. "Ma, your finished?... Alright, we'll be there soon. Byebye." Can looked at Tin. "Party is over. Ma is nearly home. Let's take a shower and get going." Tin wanted to feel disappointed for not going for second round but he really wanted to see Can mother and Ley again. They took a quick shower together and got dress. "Shall we buy some flowers for your mother and Ley?" Can wasn't really into that but he knew his mother and sister would love it. "Yes, Let's." The drove the car to a flower shop near Can's old house. The got two bouquets with Lemon and his mother's favorite colors. When they arrived they were greeted by enthusiastic Gucci, the dog was happy to see Can again. After knocking Can over he preceded in slobbering Can all over. When he was satisfied that Can knew how much he missed him, Gucci tried to eat the flowers they had bought. Tin was laughing holding the flowers above his head. "Next time we'll have to get you some treats. Sorry we forgot about you. Gucci." Can tried to stand up, but Gucci laid on top of him. The dog gave a mournful noise, he looked at Tin with big sad eyes. It sounded like he was sad that they had forgotten him. Can gave Gucci one last hug before pushing him off. They walked into the house and were greeted by a amazing smell. Tin was nervous going in, it was weird, it felt like he was going to his in-laws. He knew that Can's mother liked him and Ley adored him, but that was when they thought they were dating. 'How would they feel if they knew that we are a real couple?' Lemon was beyond her self. "This is the first time in my live that I've received flowers from a boy! Even if it's my brother and his husband. I love it." Tin choked on the water he was drinking. Can was tapping his back. "Ley, please. Tin still thinks your cute. Don't show your true self just yet." Lemon stuck out her tongue. "Mom, do you like it too?" She smiled at them. "Yes, I love them. Thank you." Tin and Can were order to set the table, while the ladies put their flowers in vases.

During dinner, Lemon and Can mother notice that Tin was acting nervously. Can was totally oblivious to Tin dilemma, because there was food in front of him. "Can how is the house? Do you keep it clean?" Can rolled his eyes. "The house is nice and I keep it clean." Can's mother looked at Tin. "Is it true?" Can looked offended. Tin smiled while looking at him. He grabbed Can's hand under the table. "Yes, he keeps it very clean." Can changed the subject by asking Lemon about a new drama on television. This helped until the end of dinner. They were eating dessert when Lemon couldn't help it, she was too curious. "P'Tin are you living with P'Can or are you going back and forth?" Both Tin and Can turned red. Tin mumbled. "Back and forth." Lemon crossed her arms. "Why? Is it not cheaper and better if you live together?" Tin looked and Can and then at Can's mother. "We just started dating. We want to take it slow. I also want to ask Mae permission." Tin stood up. Making Lemon giggle. "Mae, I really love Can and I want to be with him together as long as he will have me." Can's mother and Lemon were laughing so hard, they had tears in their eyes. Can was looking embarrassed, while Tin was feeling a little bit stupid. "Oh Tin, you are so sweet."Can's mother was wiping away her tears. "Please take care of my child. He is not perfect but his heart in in the right place." "You just need to find his brains." Lemon added. Causing both mother and daughter to crack up again. "Stop laughing!" Can was irritated, he couldn't believe that his own family could diss him this much. Lemon and his mother tried to stop laughing. They tried to talk about other stuff but every time they looked at each other they would crack up again. Tin was feeling silly and Can couldn't take it anymore. He stood up, pulling Tin to his feet. "We're going now. You guys are not serious, can't you see that Tin is feeling embarrassed!?" "We're sorry, but it's so funny. We always see this in dramas. It just hilarious to experience it for real." Can's mother tried to look sorry, but she failed. Lemon was holding her side. "Don't be a stranger and I want to be the bridesmaid when you guys get married." That set them both off again.

Tin was laughing too, Can gave him a dirty look. "They're just joking, don't be angry." Can was already out of the door. Tin said goodbye to Lemon and Can's mother. He ran behind Can."Why are you so angry?" Can turn and looked at Tin. "I'm not angry. I'm embarrassed. Why did you do that. I felt like a girl!" Tin looked guilty. "I don't want your mother to hate me. That why I asked her." Can grabbed his hand. "She would not hate you. My mother knew that we liked each other. If she hated you, she would never let you come inside." "What about your parents? Will we ever meet them as a couple?" Tin looked at Can. "I really don't know. They know I'm dating a guy, they just don't know who. I'm sure my parents will one day have someone check on you. We can worry when the time comes." Can knew he was being silly, so he changed the subject. "I want to see your house. I haven't been there before." Can was facing Tin in the car. Tin gave Can a quick glance. "We can go now if you like." Can laughed. "I don't have other plans, do you?" Tin smiled and changed lanes. They drove for 45 minutes until they reached a gated community. The big gate opened and Tin drove inside. Can mouth fell open. All he could see were big mansions and high walls. Tin drove another 10 minutes before he stopped at a gate. Can could only see the black roof, nothing else. "Wow. It looks big." Tin pressed a button and the gate opened to reveal a enormous house. "Your the first to come over." Can mouth fell open. "Is this your? Do you live here alone?" Tin looked at the house. "Yes. It was a farewell present from my mother and yes I live alone. I don't use this house. There is a small apartment at the back, we're I live." Can looked at him funny. "Why don't you sell it or rent it out. It's a waste to let is sit empty!" Tin had thought of renting it out but he wasn't sure if he wanted to share the place with other people. It was stupid because the apartment had its own entrance and everything. It was a bad habit. Looking at the house made him believe that his mother cared for him. That she loved him enough to buy him a useless big house. He wanted to believe that one day they would all come over and live with him. But now that he had Can and his family, the need to pretend is getting less and less. "I'm planning on renting it out. Me and Din are looking for reliable people. Want to go inside or do you want to straight to the apartment?" Can looked at the house. It was nice, but he wanted to see where Tin lives and that wasn't in the house. "Let's go to the apartment." Tin drove a little further until they reached another gate. It opened up to a much smaller two story house. It looked less imposing and more homely. Tin parked the car in the garage and they walk together into the house. Can mouth fell open when they stepped into the living room. It was bigger than his whole house together. "Wow, this is amazing. You've lived here all alone, the whole time?" Tin looked around. "Naai'Din lived with me until I started university. Come I'll give you a tour." He showed him downstairs first that was the living room and kitchen. Outside was a swimming pool and a large lawn. Upstairs were 4 bedrooms each with en-suite. Can was blown away by it all. "Lemon and mom would love to come over!"

Can borrowed swim shorts from Tin and together they played in the pool, when it became too cold they when inside. Tin took him to one of the spare rooms and left to shower in his own room. Can waited a few seconds and ran to Tin's room and jumped into the shower with him. Tin was shocked but had to laugh. Can tried to make a move on Tin, but got stopped. "The food is getting cold." For the first time in his life, Can could care less about food. But Tin had already dragged Can out of the shower stall. Downstairs Tin's maid had made a 3 course meal with all shrimp for them. "Can I ask Lemon over tomorrow? She loves to swim". Tin liked the idea. He took out his phone and send a message, asking her to come over for a swim. She wanted to come over straight away. But Tin told her she could come over tomorrow because it was too late now. After dinner Tin got ready to bring Can back home. "Can't I stay the night?" Tin never had someone sleep over. "I'll get you some clothes." Can looked around Tin's room. Compared to his, Tin's was bare. He had no posters on his wall, no clutter and everything was white. It didn't feel cozy or lived-in. Can felt bad for Tin. Tin came back with some clothes after Can had changed, he jumped into bed with Tin. He wrapped his arms around Tin and gave him a kiss. Tin kissed him back before closing his eyes. Can tried to move his hands down Tin pants, but he got stopped. "I'm tired. Aren't you?" Can wanted to scream, but he nodded. He closed his eyes too and soon he fell asleep. Tin looked at Can sleeping. He kissed him on his head. "Thank you." When Can woke up, he could smell pancakes. He went straight downstairs and saw Tin making pancakes for them. After breakfast they went to pick up Lemon. She was excited to go swim in a private pool. She started to call Tin, brother in law, much to Can's dismay. They had much fun together. Can's mother dropped by after work. "I hope you don't mind, Lemon asked me to come picked her up." Tin was glad to see Can's mother. "Do you want to stay for dinner? I can ask the maid to some food for us." Lemon looked at her mother. "Please mom, can't we stay and have dinner!" Can's mother laughed. "That's nice. Then I don't have to make dinner." Dinner was again fun and full of laughter.

2 days before the start of classes, they met up with the others. Mia and Good were all lovey dovey, both their grandparents loved them They couldn't wait until Good and Mia got married. Pete and Ae were so cute together. They were still acting awkward with each other. Pete looked at Tin and Can, with his usual shy smile. "What did you guys do? There was nothing on your Instagram or Facebook." Can shrugged. "We just spend it mostly with Lemon and my mother, maybe the next school holiday we'll go somewhere." Mia was looking like she had won the lottery. "I see. You guys together..." They hadn't slept with each other since the second time. After the visit of Lemon and Can's mother to Tin's house. They spent the rest of the holiday at Can's or Tin's in bed or on the couch in each others arms. "We did get out of the house, but it wasn't worth talking about." Can laughed and slap Tin's arm. "We just talked. I wanted to get to know Tin better, so we just talked and talked." Can had decided that Tin and Ping were not the same people, Tin had proved himself to Can many times and he was so ready to take it fast, but Tin wouldn't go any further, there were a lot of touching but no more love making. Tin had told Can that he wanted to stay true to his promise. But after 2 weeks of just fooling around, Can was sick and tired of taking it slow. He was ready to jump Tin, he even had tried it last night, but Tin was stronger than him. Tin had pinned him down and tickled him until he was out of breath. Can changed the subject by asking the others to share their holidays. Ae and Pete spend their first week together. The second week, Ae when with friends to Pattay, while Pete went to stay at his grandmother's house in Chiang Mai. They spend the rest of the dinner talking about their holidays and how they were all dreading going back back to school. Tin was looking at these people and couldn't believe that he was sitting with them. A few months ago, he would never imagine that he would have friends besides Pete.

After dinner, Can and Tin returned to Can's. They were sitting on the couch watching a football game, when Can crawled on Tin's lap. "I know I said I want to take it slow, but I don't want to take it slow anymore. I love you. Lemon and Mae love you. You've been sweet to all of us. You haven't changed and you've stayed true to us. I don't want to take it slow anymore." Tin was looking at Can. "Are you sure?" Can nodded and kissed him. The kiss became deep, Tin picked him up and they moved to the bedroom. Tin and Can poured all their love and feelings into their kisses. Looking at Can beneath him and was amazed at how a few months ago he was a broody lonely guy and now he had a boyfriend that he was crazy about. "My monkey, I will love until the end of times. I truly love you,." Can smiled. "Love you too."
