Time Can Mess Things Up

LXV

Four months later....

"Why are we here?" Bright asked in frustration as he watched his friends flirt with their boyfriend. They were in the cafeteria for lunch but to Bright and Toota it felt awkward to be surrounded by all the couples.

"Either we get our own lover or we stop these lunch gatherings" Toota spoke as he watched others in annoyance.

Kongpop was busy feeding Arthit who was feeling shy but still didn't stop him, Wad was leaning on Prem as they watched something on Prem's phone and whispering into each other's ears. Tew was busy blabbering about something while Knot would nod and feed Tew at the same time. Awan was sleeping with his head in Em's lap and Em was caressing his hair gently.

"I feel so fucking jealous" Bright shouted causing others look at him in confusion.

5 Months later...

"What! I'm straight as Fishing rod!" Bright said, puffing his chest.

"Fishing rod is bent" Knot points out.

"I mean as straight as..." Bright thought but couldn't come up with any figure.

"We got it, we got it, come on Knot, We are almost late for class. I thought you needed to meet Tew before heading to class" Arthit told Knot.

"Let's go" Knot follows Arthit and they together left the cafeteria.

"Go away!! Some friends you guys are!" Bright screams as he stands on the table which gains other people's attention.

"Get down you idiot!" Toota scolds Bright who  now was sitting on the table and glares Toota.

"I can help you if you want," Toota said, playing a game on his phone, trying to distract Bright, who started sulking again.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Bright asked in wonder.

"I know this cute person, maybe you two suit each other" Toota replied with a sly smile

Toota was at the mall alone, all his friends were busy with their own lives. Bright was busy these days chatting with some girl which he said Toota introduced him.

He went to Starbucks and got himself coffee, he wasn't paying attention when suddenly he collided with someone.

"Shit! It's fucking hot" The boy shouted as the coffee which Toota had fall over the boy. Toota's eyes widened when the boy screamed.

"I'm sorry!" Toota was scared, he didn't know what to do, he dragged the boy to the nearest washroom.

"Take of your shirt, let me see you got burn"

"It's okay, I'm fine" Toota knew the boy was lying because he was sweaty and hissing due to pain.

"Hey!" Toota ignored the boy's protest and started unbuttoning his shirt. He saw the boy's chest has turned red due to burning and felt guilty.

"Stay here I will be back" Toota told the boy before running out to get some ointment and new clothes.

"Oiii"Boy shouts but Toota has already left.

After ten minutes, Toota returned with some ointment and a new shirt. He looked around for the boy but didn't see him there.

"Hey, I'm here" the boy shouts from inside the cubicle, he comes out and stares at Toota.

"I thought you left, come here" The boy approached Toota and stood in front of him.

"Let me clean now" Toota pours some cold water from the tap on the burned area, the boy's sighs in relief as he cools the burning little.
