Weeks passed...Beam and Forth got stable with each others schedules and routines, where Beam was studying on random energy spikes and Forth was on a fixed routine.
Beam tried his best to limit his life to apartment and uni, still not feeling tuned with Forth's elite life. Dinners and cocktail parties. Even Balls! What is this? Victorian era?
And Forth's dragged him everywhere, saying "I bought you after all"
It was also becoming a routine, Forth, bringing him to parties, all dolled up. It was exhausting to hear the all that stuck up people talk. But he also picked some fact or two from their conversation. Like, Who owns what, who has the major of shares in in a company, whose companies went bankrupt recently, which is another absurd thing because, it's in number one of stock market one day and already gone bankrupt next day. Who are the business friends. Who are the rivals. Forth had a handful of rivals. They are also in some decent interaction with him, He actually has already met all of them. Well expect for Lenard Wongpipat, the CEO of SNK, an international IT provider company. He was considered as the most compatible rival of Forth, more charming and more loved by people. Well Forth..Forth was rather respected than loved..feared even.
It confused Beam. Forth didn't look like a man to act on emotions. He was patient and according to his experience of living with him for months Beam knew Forth is kind hearted. But he could practically sense fear of people, no matter how powerful they are, when Forth walk towards them.
Beam had this certain gift called empathy. Yes it's mostly a women's characteristic; and yet Beam has the ability to feel things...feel people, their emotions and vibe...
And Forth felt like.....a ticking bomb.
Inside all his calm and collected attire, Beam felt a demon, trying to come outside....a red shade in his eyes when he confronted his brother....
In all his stable life...Beam felt a utterly unstable spirit.
**************************************** They were cuddling on the couch in theater room. Beam was in Forth's arms, as always; half drunk and half asleep...the movie long forgotten.
Forth was slowly carding her fingers through Beam's soft hair, elegantly sipping on his wine. Beam liked the wine. It was sweet. 'As sweet as you' Forth said.
Drifting in to sleep Beam murmured a question to Forth's chest. "What are we..."
Forth tightened his embrace and pressed the younger against his body and murmured on to the crown of his head. "What do you want us to be..?"
Beam went silent for a moment. Then he closed his eyes and snuggled to Forth's chest. "Nothing..."
Beam felt the elder's heart skip a beat. Felt the barely noticeable tremble in his voice when he asked, "why..."
Beam made himself comfortable in Forth's embrace, finally deciding to fall asleep. "Labeling relationships make it harder to enjoy it"
Forth blinked, trying to understand what he meant. Then suddenly he start giggling to himself, for Beam has already fallen asleep.
"Silly doll"
*******************************************
'I cannot possibly finish assignment today, even though the deadline is tomorrow....' Beam thought...standing absentmindedly inside the coffee shop. "I don't think the professor would extend the date for me either..."
"....Cappuccino for Beam?"
Beam paid for the take away cappuccino and collected the balance and turned around to leave, thinking about his assignment, only to be slammed on hard surface. "Argh! What the..." Opening his eyes, Beam saw a spreading dark brown spot on a white shirt...
"Oh shit.."
Expecting get yelled at he looked up at the "victim", only to see a man who looked like someone just came out from a magazine, hissing painfully. Only then Beam realized that the hot water might burn the mans skin. He quickly turned around to the cashier. "Where is the washroom?!"
And according to his directions, Beam dragged the man to the washroom, without letting him even protest. Arriving the washroom he ordered the man to take off his shirt, pulling his own sleeves up. "You can sue me or whatever after this. But I have to make sure your skin is not burnt"
To his surprise, the man silently took off his shirt. His singlet too. Beam couldn't stop himself from blushing at the perfect physique that is only second to Forth's. His lean torso with defined abs flexed as he took his singlet.
Shaking out the thoughts that automatically came to his head, Beam checked the burn. He was relieved to find out that the hot water hasn't caused a burn at all. There was only a light pink patch on his fair skin.
Putting up a stoic face, Beam wetted his own handkerchief and gently massaged the spot, just in case.
After making sure the man is unharmed, Beam looked at him, as if asking for the punishment. "Uhhh..." "Thank you" "Huh?" Beam blinked at him.
The man put this dark blue tuxedo coat on and buttoned it up, covering his naked torso. "Well thank you for taking care of me" Then he saw Beam eyeing on the pile of clothes in counter. The man took the clothes and threw them in the trash can. "Don't worry about them"
Then he turned to the younger. "I would like to express my gratitude for taking care of me. Would you like to join me for a dinner?"
Beam froze for a moment.
"I just want to make it up to you.."
Beam kept staring at him. What the heck.. "Uh...I don't think..."
Without letting Beam continue, the man took Beam's hand in his. "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lenard Wongpipat..."
