Wrong + Right - ForthPha

"You feeling ok?" Forth asked when Pha came home from school - not in the best mood. It's been a couple weeks since the last hospital visit (ch.07) and Pha's been in a really good mood, he's been really happy, and is actually improving a lot (no more attempts/etc).  So Forth seeing him in a bad mood now was pretty shocking.

Pha just shook his head and fell face-first onto the couch - next to Forth - actually his face ended up in Forth's lap a bit too close to be considered "friendly".  Neither of them moved though - Pha was too embarrassed to move - Forth didn't know what to do.

Before either of them could react - Koi and Min walked in.

"If you two are gonna do that go to your room - I thought it was an unspoken rule not to fuck on the couch," Koi said and flicked Forth on the forehead as him and Min walked into their room.

Pha just got up quickly and ran to the bathroom locking the door.

"He fell! We weren't doing anything ya nasty!" Forth yelled and then went to check on Pha.

"Pha, you ok?" Forth asked. Pha opened the door and went straight to his room - not saying anything. Forth sighed and followed him.

Pha's the type of guy you have to annoy until he breaks and starts talking.
He found Pha cuddled into his blankets and stuffed animals - yes. Pha is a 25 year old 6'1 man who sleeps with stuffed animals - deal with it.

"Pha, what's up? You're never in a bad mood - talk to me," Forth said and laid down next to Pha - but didn't touch/cuddle him like he usually does.
Pha just mumbled something and refused to look at Forth.

"Pha, speak up babe," Forth said and played with Pha's hair when the younger finally turned over and cuddled up to him.

"I failed my final, I have to retake all of my classes next year..." Pha mumbled and hugged Forth.

Forth just hugged the smaller tightly.

"I know how to cheer you up," Forth said about an hour later.

"How?" Pha mumbled.

"Let's go to our spot. We can spend all night out there if you want," Forth said and smiled when Pha's eyes lit up and his smile got bigger.

"Make me hot chocolate too?" Pha asked and gave Forth puppy eyes.

"Of course babe," Forth smiled and nearly kissed Pha but stopped himself from doing it. They've kissed before, but only if Pha went for it first.

They got up - Forth went to get snacks and the hot chocolate while Pha took a shower and then got some blankets and a couple pillows to take with them.

"We'll be back later, you guys alright?" Forth asked walking into KoiMin's room.

"Yeah, we're going to a party later anyway," Koi said - Min was asleep and started talking in his sleep about a marshmallow unicorn that wouldn't stop chasing him.
He's an odd kid...

"Alright, call us if you need anything," Forth said and left them alone while getting his keys and waiting for Pha.

🌌

It's currently 1:27am. Forth and Pha have not moved from their spot in the park since they got here (8pm).

They both bad fallen asleep around 12am and were just now waking up. Pha woke up first and just stared at the stars before looking at Forth.

He doesn't know how long he was staring at the older, all he knows is that it was long enough for Forth to wake up and catch him.
They had a staring contest - because why not? Pha kind of spaced out a bit and didn't realize how close Forth was until the older leaned down and kissed him.

- like an hour later -

Pha was a blushing mess.
Have you guys ever seen a man like this -

Act like a small child when their happy?
No? Me neither. Until now seeing, Forth and Pha together.
Pha hid his face in Forth's neck, he was blushing so much he didn't want Forth to see it.

"Pha, why are you hiding?" Forth was trying not to laugh and kept teasing Pha about it.

"Shut up," Pha mumbled.

Forth just smiled and made Pha look up at him.

"Why are you hiding?" Forth asked. Pha just tried to hide again.

Forth let him, and then made him look up again and kissed him - again.

After a few minutes they pulled apart and continued their staring contest...
Until one asked...

"Will you be my boyfriend?"
