Don't Even Think About It

Chapter 3

Sorry for the wait. I've been really busy with work. I haven't had time to write anything longer than a summary for ideas I randomly get throughout the day/night.

Arthit glanced in the mirror wishing for a change in the reflection. He pulled on his collar one more time, trying to hide the evidence from the beginning of the weekend.

Stupid Kongpob!

'Why the hell did he have to make so many marks?!' Arthit whined mentally before free falling face down on his bed. He turned his face to his phone. Notification from a certain junior shined back at him.

Call him a coward but he could not bring himself to answer any of Kongpob's calls or messages. Honestly, he didn't know what to do about this new situation.

Arthit's fingers hovered over the notifications, unsure if to clear them out or leave them. He jumped up at the sound of his mother calling his name.

"Arthit! So help me God, if you are not ready to go in five seconds I will take away all of your robots!"

The threat made Arthit scrambled off the bed and grabbing his bag, "Ma!! Please, don't! I'm up! I'm up!"

xoxoxo

Arthit could hear the whispers around him from his classmates. The collar did nothing to hide the red love bites. The pale man simply fixated his eyes on his book. No amount of pretending helped him truly block out everything they said.

"Slut"

"That is so gross."

"He's, really, still is a faggot."

Arthit's fingers twitched at hearing those things. No matter how much time has passed since their first year, they still hadn't changed.

It was as if two years had never passed and he was still the first year outed by a group of second years that live streamed him meeting up with one of the group that supposedly confessed to him. Arthit never thought of even accepting the guy. He went with the intention of turning him down nicely and, in the end, he never got the chance to say anything before being surrounded by a group of laughing students, taunting him about being gay.

Relief washed through him when the homeroom teacher walked in and started her lecture.

He glanced out of the window he sat next to. A small blue pitta chirped before flying away.

Some day...

Some day, he'll be the one that flies away like that.

xoxoxo

Kongpob glanced at his watch. 'Fuck, why is time going by so slow?' He was so tempted to walk out but his kitten would most likely get angry with him. Not that he minded seeing the other man flush red but he rather it be for pleasure or embarrassment and not in anger.

Kongpob was off his seat and out the door before the first bell even finished ringing. People moved out of his way as he rushed passed everyone to get to the third floor.

Arthit was visible from the window. Kongpob grinned at the beautiful sight of his sun. Even the natural sunlight did him justice by shining on him like a halo glow.

What happened next wiped his smile away and he clinched his hands, fingernails bitting into his palms. An asshole actually dared poke Arthit on the head, harshly moving him to the side.

"What's going on, slut? Found a new fuck buddy?"

The goon's lackeys snickered while one threw Arthit's books and bag on the floor and the other pushed the desk towards Arthit's abdomen.

The pale man said nothing.

Not even a whimper in pain. It seemed like he just shut down from reality, just sitting there with his head looking down.

"What? Got nothing to say? Come on, tell us." The ring leader pushed Arthit's shoulder, nearly toppling him over.

Out of no where the goon fell back onto his ass. "Who-?!"

"Touch him again and watch what'll happen to you. Actually, you don't have to wait and see." Without another word, Kongpob punched the lackeys. Both fell back, pushed desk out of place. The screeching of the desks and chairs along with people's screams and curses filled the room.

The goon rushed back onto his feet and made a move to punch the younger man but was stopped by Kongpob's bookbag and a kick. It occurred to the other two that there was no way that he could handle them both at the same time. One grabbed a hold of Kong, while the other got a lucky shot.

"Oi!" Earth pushed people out of the way to get to the ruckus. He pulled one of the lackeys away, landing a hard punch.

Arthit just sat there frozen at the sight of the two second years going at it with some of his tormentors. He knew he should put an end to all this but, at the same time, he wanted to see it happen.

"Arhit!"

Arthit blinked up at Knot. He could see that his friend was saying something but he couldn't hear him. He let himself be dragged away from the fighting.

"Arthit? Are you ok?" Knot looked down at the shocked male trying to see if there were any visible injuries.

Teachers came rushing in, yelling along the way. Within a couple minutes, the fight was broken up and the culprits were being dragged to the dean's office.

Kongpob's glare made the rest of the seniors stare down to their shoes. Those eyes promised that they each would get their own and soon.

"Arthit?"

"Knot?"

"What happened? I came by to bring Nong Earth by so he could ask you questions about this evening's tutoring session. Why was Kong fighting those guys?"

"I'll tell you later. Come on, we have to hurry. Those two are gonna get expelled with their track record if we don't do something."

The petite male pulled the bulky senior along with him. The yells from the teachers lead the way.
