Their Beautiful Secret

13. Naughty, Coming Through

Arthit was purposely avoiding his friends all morning since he came to the university. During class, he would tune out Bright and Toota's queries about Wayo's birthday party, knowing they will try to coax him to let them attend it.

"You're being weird right now, Arthit." Toota's comment just flew past the omega's ears. Arthit stared at him with an innocent look in his eyes, shrugging before walking away. Fast.

"Guhhh!!!" Toota screamed silently. "What is wrong with him?!"

"He doesn't want us to attend the party," Bright responded, patting Toota's back consolingly. He grinned at a thought that came to his head. "You know what we're gonna do?"

"I know what we're gonna do!" Toota corrected.

Smack!

"Not that," Bright said after smacking the back of Toota's head. "We're gonna do...more."

"More?" Toota's brows knotted and his eyes widened when he thought he got what Bright was saying. "Are we putting ecstacy on Kongpob's drink?"

"What?!" Bright was surprised. "No. We're not doing that! I was thinking more of getting Arthit drunk as well."

"Ah..."

"Geez. What's the matter with you?" Bright was shaking his head but he couldn't deny he thought of what Toota said. He considered it but for a friend, he thought it would be going too far.

"Why are we hell-bent on doing this anyway?" Toota asked as they headed for lunch. "We could do it at a party. Like when we have the closing ceremony."

Bright's smile widened. "You're right. But let's think of this as a trial. That way we'll know what happens. Isn't that what we talked about. We wanted to know how Kongpob reacts to alcohol."

The two shared a look after seeing the couple they were plotting something about, and a high five for the the plan hey have for them.

The two year opened his eyes and blinked in confusion but his frown soon was replaced by a cheeky grin as he stared at his parents' faces first thing in the morning. Kongpob and Arthit greeted their son a "happy birthday" and each gave him a kiss on his cheeks.

"Am two today!" Wayo announced happily, giggling as he rolled over to his side and got up using his little chubby arms. He bounced at his parents bed, repeating his chant. It was still very early in the morning and the boy couldn't wait to go to the park for his party in the afternoon.

"He loves that park and that's mostly the reason why he's excited," Arthit commented later that day just before they started getting to go to the park.

"He's only two," Kongpob replied. "As he grow up, he will learn to make friends. He's just a little introvert."

"I know," Arthit said. "Your mom said he's like you when you were younger. So... late bloomer?" Arthit teased.

Kongpob wriggled his brows and pulled his loved to his chest without warning. Some clothes in the clothes in the closet hanging, fell after Arthit held onto them but failed.

"And this late bloomer fathered a child at sixteen..." Kongpob whispered, lips grazing along the ridges of his fiancé's left ear. It sent tingles on the omega's veins, making him push his lover away.

Kongpob chuckled, quickly left a kiss on Arhit's cheek before leaving the room to get their son.l ready for his big afternoon.

"What are you guys doing here?" Arthit asked at a low hissing voice to Bright and Toota when he saw them at the venue of his son's birthday party.

The two betas waved at Kongpob who was carrying Wayo behind Arthit. They smiled and  beamed at the sight of the two year old. "Happy birthday, baby Yo!" The two said in unison.

Wayo turned to his father, searching for a sign of approval or another. Kongpob nodded with a smile and so the two year old turned to Arhtis's friends, gave them a smile and a "thank you".

"Omg!!! You know, I can imagine Arthit as cute as him as a baby," Toota commented as he slapped Bright's arm playfully.

Arthit squinted his eyes as he stared his friends down. "You're gate crashing."

"Of course, we are." Bright stared back with a smirk. He leaned over and said, "We're you that scared we'll do something?"

Raising his brows, Arthit spat, "No." He knew exactly what his friends were planning because at one point, the two have mentioned about being curious of his alpha, how he is when he's intoxicated. Although he does want to know as well, being that it was Wayo's party, it was not the right time.

"Okay then," Bright said, grinning. "Here." He handed a big box to Arthit and winked as he pulled Toota away, the latter still couldn't get enough of cooing the two year old in Kongpob's arms.

'Oh, good. It's just a gift.' Arthit slapped himself mentally for thinking the bag contained something else.

Arthit's mother and everyone in Kongpob's family were all present at the party. Bradley and the rest of Arthit and Kongpob's closest friends also came. The kids who liked the two year at the day care were also invited, along with their parents. Erik, a friend to Kongpob's family was the last to arrive when Wayo was already surrounded by family and friends for the big birthday song and cake.

The song was sang and the birthday boy couldn't stop giggling and smiling at his parents and grandparents. He kept flashing his two little fingers, truly happy that he turned two years old.

"I'm so jealous!" One of Kongpob's sisters, Kayla, commented. Kristine just snickered as she watched her nephew get all sorts attention.

"You and Erik should make one then," Kristine suggested. She got pinched on the side for saying it.

"So it's true then?" Arthit asked as he sat next to his in-laws. "No need to hide it from me. Kong already told me."

Kayla slumped her face on his palms after getting a quick glance from her best friend slash boyfriend. "This is awkward!!! Can we not talk about my love life right now?"

Arthit simply smiled and offered Kayla a glass of pineapple juice and the latter accepted with a grin. "Hey, how did it feel to be pregnant?"

Taken aback, Arthit blushed at the question and thousands of image of him when he was pregnant, came to his mind. He couldn't find the words to say to the other. "Er..."

"Don't mind her, Arthit," Kristine said, patting the omega's back. "You should go back to your alpha. He's getting surrounded by Erik and your friends. God knows what they're planning."

"Dang it," Arthit cursed before standing up really quickly and walked towards Kongpob.
