"Kongpob Suthiluck, what the fuck did you do?

Kongpob guiltily smiled at his boyfriend. "Well, P'. You know that I went to for my interview a couple of days ago, right? And I did say I wanted to do Economics, but Por actually wanted me to do Engineering."

Arthit furrowed his eyebrows still confused at what exactly his boyfriend was trying to say. "So? You told him no, right?"

Silence met his question.

"Well, then I got to thinking. I can do Engineering now and just study Economics for my masters!"

And that was when Arthit threw the closest thing to him which was very inconveniently a hardcover dictionary.

"P'Arthit!" Kongpob managed to duck in time, but then he barely dodged the shoes that were thrown.

"KONGPOB! YOU IDIOT!" Arthit's face was red in anger as he grabbed things to keep throwing not caring what they were.

"P'Arthit! I didn't know! And I have a good rea-" But he couldn't continue as another dictionary was thrown. Just how many dictionaries does he need?!

Kongpob kept trying to talk but had to stop as something was thrown at him. He finally found his chance when Arthit grabbed one of his special robot figures.

"P'Arthit! That's your favorite robot!" Arthit finally seemed to be out of his angry haze and looked at what he was holding. Kongpob took the opportunity presented and swooped in to hug his boyfriend.

"Kongpob! Don't fucking-" But his curses fell into silence as the younger kissed him soundly. And he continued to peck him everywhere again and left a trail of kisses all the way to his neck. And just as he expected, Arthit began to giggle from the ticklish kisses. He finally stopped his ministrations, and looked at the older who was now pink from the kisses and laughing instead of anger.

"Will you listen to me now, P'Arthit?"

He received a nod, and just because his boyfriend was being extra cute, he kissed him on the lips one last time. And then received a shove to the head right after.

"Ow, P'. Okay, okay. Well, I've actually been pretty conflicted for a while now. I wasn't sure I'd be happy with Engineering, but Por was really insisting, you know? I'm still not one hundred percent sure with my decision, but I can't do anything now."

Arthit's stern expression finally softened. "Kongpob, it all depends on you. You know that I carelessly applied for university, but I'm really lucky I ended liking it. It might be hard at first, and you might not even end up liking it, but that's still far away. We don't know what the future holds yet. But it's up to you whether or not it'll be enjoyable. You just have to try your best okay?

And to Arthit's surprise his boyfriend suddenly engulfed him in another big bear hug.

"P'Arthit, you're impossible!"

"Hah?"

"How do you manage to make me fall in love with you all over again?"

Arthit's face burned at his sappy boyfriend's words. How the hell can he say these things with such a straight face?!

"Ew. Gross!" Because that's the only way Arthit could react because of how shy he is.

"P'Arhit! Can't you be sweet to me, too? And my Por wasn't the only reason for me choosing to go to Engineering, you know. I also wanted to be able to spend more time with you. We haven't been able to spend as much time with each other except on breaks, and we might get even busier in college. Being in Engineering would make it a lot easier to be together."

And that declaration finally melted all of Arthit's defenses. He knew they'd been seeing each other a little less because of how busy Arthit was with hazing activities and school as well ad Kongpob studying to get into university. And if he were to be honest, he was missing his cheesy boyfriend. He also knew he hadn't been texting or calling him that much, so maybe he needed to give him a little treat. So with no moment for hesitation he took his younger boyfriend's face and gave him a quick peck on the lips, which wasn't that special because Kongpob did that all the time, but was special because it was rare for the older to be the one to initiate anything.

And in one last moment of bravery, Arthit, almost in a whispering tone, said, "I love you."

It seemed almost impossible, but Kongpob's face and gaze bordered on worship as he gazed at the love of his life. He took his lover's face in his hands again, and this time, he wasn't going to settle for pecks. And it looked like Arthit also knew this because he slowly parted his lips and shyly looked up at his boyfriend through shy, fluttering lashes. And he continued to stay still as Kongpob slowly lowered his face down angling it to kiss his lover sense-"

"Oon! Kong! I brought- Oh! I'm sorry for interrupting!"

The two jumped away from each other like they'd been shocked and stared at Mrs. Rojnapat with blushing red faces.

"Just keep going with what you were doing boys. I'll just let you both come down and get refreshments after you're done."

Both boys' faces turned an even more violent red as Arthit yelled out, "Mae! Just go!"

Mrs. Rojnapat rolled her eyes, "Stop being so shy already Oon. You can't be letting dear Kongpob do all the work, now. Plus, don't think you boys are so sneaky when you hide behind that tree. I can see you both clear as day."

Arhtit couldn't even speak and sputtered ineligibly. Kongpob wasn't blushing so hard like his lover anymore, but he was still embarrassed.

"Ah! Mae," Kongpob called to the matriarch before she turned to go, "I'll actually be taking out P'Arthit later, if that's okay?"

She beamed. "You don't need to keep asking my permission Kongpob! Actually, if you could just whisk my son away and marry him right now, I'd be fine with that too. Just don't forget to hold a wedding later, yes?"

"Mae! Just go already!" Arthit looked like his face was gonna explode at how red it was, and he turned angry eyes to his younger boyfriend who had the audacity to laugh.

But Kongpob was undeterred by the fierce gaze he was used to and responded, "Sorry, Mae. But can you wait a little longer? I want to make sure P'Arthit has a comfortable life before I propose, so I'll have to study first."

Mrs. Rojnapat clapped happily. "Don't take too long! And I know your parents would be happy about both of you marrying as well. I think I'll be going then or Oon might explode. Bye boys!"
And with that, she finally left and right when she closed the door, a pillow was thrown at Kongpob's face.

"Kongpob! What the heck was that, huh?!" And to his frustration, the younger simply laughed.

"What do you mean, P'Arthit? I just answered Mae's questions." Then Kongpob's smile took a devious tint and he continued, "Oh! Don't worry, Ai'Oon. You won't have to wait long, I'll make you my wife soon."

Arthit turned back into a blushing mess and could barely even respond, so in true Arhtit-like fashion, he threw a dictionary.
