Drugs and Cuddles - ForthMing

seven

3rd POV.

Forth's been locked in his room for the past 2 days (The weekend). Ming's refused to get out of bed for the past 3 (weekend + monday).

When neither of them showed up for the Sotus meeting this morning (Tuesday), rumors started spreading. Quickly.

"I'm sure they're together somewhere ditching class, they seem like the type."

"No! They're probably sick,"

"I think they're fucking,"

"No way! Forth is straight,"

"I thought Ming had a boyfriend?"

"He died 3 years ago, Ming's single,"

"SHUT UP!" Kongpob got the first year's attention - stopping them from talking about Forth and Ming any longer.

"Forth and Ming are taking some time off. Ming is with his family, Forth is here with Arthit. Now shut up, the next person to spread rumors or even talk about those two will be punished. Got it?" Kongpob was mad today.

"Got it!" The first year's yelled back.

It was silent for a few moments until Apo ran over to the group of engineers. He stopped right in front of Kongpob but couldn't breathe for a couple minutes.

"Forth... Ming... Missing... Arthit... Crash... Help..." Apo was out of breathe and wasn't making any sense.

"Slow down, what's going on?" Kongpob asked and gave the younger some water.

"Ming left his room to check on Forth, when he got to Forth's room he was gone and there was a note saying that Forth would be taken and held hostage until Ming gave 'them' what they wanted. So now Ming's run off to try and find them, Arthit tried to stop him but ended up getting into a crash, he's fine, I think. But the main problem is im being chased right now, i think i lost them. You need to help them cause clearly they're in danger," Apo finally said everything and then sat down on the stairs behind them.

"Who's got Forth?" Kongpob asked and had all the first years go sit inside and wait for him to come back.

"I don't know, I'm gonna guess his drug dealer? It's gotta be related to that, what other trouble would he be in besides with you and Arthit?" Apo asked and drank an entire water bottle.

"I don't know either, he hasn't left his room since Ming found out he does drugs. Ming hasn't left his room either - He's been too scared that Forth's gonna end up like Waii..."

Apo nodded understanding.

Waii. He's a great guy. He was a great guy.
3 years ago, him, Ming, and Apo were in a 3-way relationship. It was cute the first 2 years. But the third year is when things got bad.
Waii got into drugs, Ming and Apo stayed by his side, tried to get him off them, but it didn't work. A week before their 3rd anniversary... Apo found Waii... dead at the bottom on the stairs in their apartment and Ming was doing everything he could to try and 'wake him up'. 
Ming's been terrified of love, and drugs, ever since while Apo doesn't fully believe that Waii is gone... He hasn't moved on and keeps telling people him and Waii are married even if he isn't.. Here...

"I get that, I'm worried too... The way Yo's been talking things don't seem to be going too well..." Apo mumbled and played with the 'wedding' ring on his hand.

I feel bad for him... Living in his own little world... Not wanting to accept reality...

"Does Ming ever talk about him?" Apo asked. He hadn't seen Ming since that night so he really had no idea that Ming's moved on and crushing on Forth.

"He misses him, but he doesn't talk about him," Kongpob said patting Apo's shoulder.

"Now, what's going on with Arthit?" He asked as they walked out to the car to go see the injured boy and figure out how to get Forth back.
