A parallel universe

A prompt

Arthit likes man. That is the hard cold fact he came to term at the age of 15
He is just like any other boys his age, different is he likes boys
But society teaching him to hide it and even embarras of it, so he keeps it under radar
And it is convenient because eventho he likes boys, he still can't find boys to like
Then come 20's with all the excitement of a fresh college boy, along with Kongpob
Arthit madly, insanely and fastly falling for him
but he keep it under radar
Kongpob is popular, since from the start.
He is old money, he is so friggin handsome, he is insanely friendly and to top it off, he is kind.
All that qualities sum up in 1 fact; Kongpob does not know Arthit exist.
Until, Chemical labs makes them partner

"Hi, i'm Kongpob. Are you new? Transfer?"
"No"
"Well, ok then"

That is the most conversation they had by far, well that and a hello, thankyou, that one, yes, no, here and there

Chem lab goes smoothly, both got A for it.

Then weird things start to happen:
Start with Kongpob sits next to him in every class
Next Kongpob strike a conversation with him
And the last bang that almost got Arthit faint, Kongpob ask if Arthit can be his study partner

Thank heavens, Arthit manage to nod rather than faint
On second term of his first year in college, Arthit exist in Kongpob's universe

Kongpob always be the one to choose where they meet, mostly where there is none of their college's students

"So we can concentrate more" said Kongpob

From morning review, in between classes report and after class homework, It feels like Arthit's day full of Kongpob's

and semester break happen.

From morning greeting, Lunch time what are you doing and dinner time tell me what are you eating, Arthit's phone ringing non stop.

Not that Arthit complain

New semester roll in, Arthit and Kongpob are inseparable.

Before they know it, final exam approaching
Arthit really don't know, is it their late night study sessions, is it their hush soft banters in the libraly or is it sleep over exchanges, on their last final exam day, Kongpob kissed Arthit

A peck, at first
Silent stare followed
Then it become messy, sloppy, hurry matching with all the butterflies in their stomach

Arthit realize all the pain in the world are forgotten when you have someone love you just as you love them

They spent their semester holiday together, inlove like a newlywed, infatuated like a long lost lover reunited, everything looks splendid, smells divine and sound perfect

And before they knew it, new semester rolls in again.

Their college friends soon asking

"Are you guys together?"
"Are you gay, Kongpob?"
"Where do you guys know each other?"

The idea of them is so weird, even Arthit got shove in the hallway, "freaks"

All girls try to get Kongpob back in the right track
All boys try to get even with Arthit for making Kongpob gay

It get so worse, even Both of them questioning how they ever gonna make it work

But they love each other, Love should be enough of a reasons right? It is forever. Right?

On their graduation day, Kongpob introduce Arthit to his parent
"Mom, dad, this is Arthit Rojnapat. My boyfriend"
and Arthit watch how Kongpob's mom smile falter along with frown on Kongpob's dad.
Disgust smears all over their face when both of them nods to Arthit's wai

Just before the official graduation picture, Arthit introduce Kongpob to his parent
"Mother, Father, this is Kongpob Suttiluck. My friend"
and Arthit watch how Kongpob's big smile dissapear along with sparks from his eyes
Hurt smears all over his face when Kongpob wai to Arthit's parent

In the back of the graduation stage, Kongpob demand explanation
Aren't they love each other? Are they?

"Kongpob, sorry for misleading you or anything but i thought you knew"
"Knew what Arthit?"
"That we're just .. being each other comfort"
"Did comfort include made love to each other??"
"Fuck. The word is fuck. And yes, we fuck each other for comfort"
Kongpob stared before letting go of his hand and walk away
Graduation end and along with Komgpob, a broken heart.
********************************************
"You will love me forever?" he asked with curiosity
"Yes, always. Will you?"
"I will. We are going to make it work, aren't we?"
"We will."

With tears in his eyes, he deleted the screenshots.

The end.
