Drugs and Cuddles - ForthMing

6 months later

3rd POV.

"Forth, turn the light off," Ming mumbled while buried under the blankets on their bed. He's had a headache/fever all day so he stayed home from school.

Forth just got home from a Sotus meeting and turned the main lights on in the 1-room dorm.

"Sorry baby," Forth apologized and turned the main lights of, then walked over to to the mini-living room and turned a small lamp on.

"Are you alright?" Forth asked and sat beside Ming on the bed. Ming poked his head out from the blankets and said no.
His head hurt a lot and his fever's only gone up instead of down.

"Have you eaten?" Forth asked and Ming nodded.

"Arthit brought me soup earlier," Ming mumbled and laid his head on Forth's thigh before falling asleep again.

Forth smiled and played with Ming's hair for a bit before getting up to make some dinner (heat up whatever frozen dinner they have) and then work on some homework.

Later that night Ming's fever went back to normal, and he was feeling so much better.
His head still hurt but he felt a lot better than he had been the past few days.

"What'd I miss?" Ming asked and sat on Forth's lap while he was working on homework.

"You, me, and Kong are working on a group project," Forth said and explained the assignment to the younger.

"What about Arthit?" Ming was confused why Arthit wasn't in the group.

"He's working alone, since he's the REAL head-hazer, he has to do his project on his own," Forth explained and Ming nodded understanding.

"Felling better?" Forth asked and Ming nodded laying his head on Forth's shoulder.

The two boys have been dating for 6 months now. They've been... Ok...
Forth's still doing drugs (only smoking now), but he's getting better. Baby steps.
Ming's doing pretty good except for this nasty cold he has.
They're not 100% perfect, but this is as perfect as they'll get for now.

Ming fell asleep on Forth's shoulder while the older continued to work. Forth didn't mind Ming sleeping on him while he worked. He found it pretty cute actually.

He doesn't know how it happened, but somehow Forth ended up falling asleep as well while working on their project. Forth blames how warm and cuddly Ming is.

- out side the door -

"You sure he's home?" Kit asked as him and Yo were outside Ming's dorm.

"Yeah, he posted on Instagram that he was sick today," Yo said and knocked on the door.

When no one answered for 5 minutes, Yo unlocked the door with his key.

"You just have the key?" Kit was confused.

"Of course I have the key to my brother's dorm,"

"YOUR BROTHER!?"

Oops... That's one secret (out of 6) out of the bag....😉....

I wonder what the other 5 are....?
