Man up, Beam!

23. Boyfriends!

                      The fork dropped on the table with a clang sound from his right hand and laughter died in his face as Beam sat stunned in his seat. Kit blushed at Beam's reaction and tried to take his hand away. But Beam caught the retreating hand quickly and held it tightly. Beam just shrugged when Lam raised his eyebrow in question and continued eating again casually as if nothing happened. He slowly turned and looked towards Kit. Kit was chewing his lower lip trying not to show the blush that was creeping on his face.

               Kit looked like a cute little rabbit in Beam's eyes. His eyes were wavering and his cheeks and ears were red now. The view disturbed Beam so much. Kit tried to pull his hand again but Beam wouldn't let it go. This was the first time Kit had initiated something between them and Beam would be a fool to let this chance go.

            Kit dint have the courage to look at Beam's face now. He stole a glance at their hands which was on Beam's leg now. He was feeling extremely shy that he could feel his whole body burning up. No matter how much he tried Beam dint let go off his hand.

           Beam was getting impatient now. His hands were itching to touch that pink cheek. But the red ear was the one which was drawing too much of Beam's attention. He wanted to bend down and nibble that ear so badly. 

         'Gosh! Why is this kitten acting too adorable all of a sudden, especially when too many men were around', Beam thought in frustration. 

          He looked around the table to see if anyone was looking at his Kit. But all others were busy chatting and laughing with each other. Beam took a glass of water and gulped it down to calm himself.

           "Kit..", Beam and Kit looked up when they heard Lam calling Kit.

           "Why are you not eating?", Lam asked looking intently at Kit.

            Kit's eyes widened and he looked at Beam alarmed. But Beam just gave a sly grin.

            "Kit...are you not eating? Don't you like the food here?", Beam asked with an innocent face.

            Kit gaped at Beam. Again he tried pulling his right hand but Beam held it tight with an amused grin on his face. Kit pleaded with his eyes but Beam was not shaken at all.

           "No..no..I...I am eating", Kit stuttered and raised his left hand and took his spoon.

          "Why are you using left hand?", Phana asked seriously.

          All eyes in the table turned to Kit now. Kit gulped turning deep shade of red. He looked troubled and pursed his lips unable to answer the question. 'Geez!! He is too alluring, this is bad..very bad', Beam thought. He slowly let go off of Kit's hand under the table. Kit felt Beam's grip loosen and immediately pulled his hand over the table.

             "I am fine Pha..", Kit said nervously, "Please continue eating.", he said politely to everyone.

            "Are you sure?", Phana asked in concern and Kit nodded positive.

            The chatting and laughing resumed at the table while Kit glared at Beam. Beam winked at Kit and turned to find Lam giving him a knowing smile.

            "Wow..that's new..", Lam commented to Beam and Beam just shrugged. Lam looked at Forth then, "Good for you", Lam commented again to Forth, to which Forth grinned widely.

            Every thing went well for the rest of the dinner. Phana and Forth had finally talked with each other forgetting all the issues they had. And their friends were happy about it. Phana left with Wayo and Lam, sharp and Jay left in their bikes. Forth pulled Ming with him while Beam and Kit left together to their dorm.
