My Sotus (I) - Toothbrushes (Completed)

Toothbrushes

Arthit hates it when his boyfriend does things without telling him first. He hates hearing news about his boyfriend through the grapevine. Actually, he didn't even hear about it this time. He was actually shocked with his own eyes.

Arthit wasn't even over being upset with Kongpob when he left work at the end of the day. All day after their morning meeting, he had to hear P'Som-O and P'Cherry talk about how handsome the new interns are, and how they couldn't wait for their rotation in their respective departments. Even P'Earth who usually doesn't partake in such childish nonsense joined in to praise his boyfriend's good looks and manners. Telling the others she has met Kongpob before, and how diligent he is.

All this is actually still fine with Arthit. Being in a relationship with the ever so popular Campus Moon turned Head Hazer for the past two years, going on three, has more than trained him to ignore people fanning over his boyfriend. Kongpob was the modern day Prince Charming to many. Especially those annoying juniors at school. Kongpob is forever heroic, confident, kind, and smart. So, Arthit is used to all of this. However, that doesn't mean he doesn't find it annoying. Actually, he hates it.

So, what is Arthit upset about, you may be wondering. Well, what he was really upset about, was the fact that Kongpob didn't tell him about him interning at his company. Why didn't he tell him? Kongpob must have applied months ago, and not once has he mentioned that he had applied to Ocean Electrics. They have also spoken countless times, so there's no way Kongpob didn't get a chance to tell him. He concluded that Kongpob deliberately hid the fact from him. At first Arthit avoided any interactions with him in the office, but Kongpob ended up finding him in the copy room. Kongpob told him he just wanted to work with him, learn more from him, and get to see more of him. Arthit couldn't help but lose his resolve after hearing that, and seeing Kongpob's puppy eyes. He couldn't really be mad about his boyfriend wanting to see him more, can he? Not really.

Arthit was ready to go home, and just sleep it off. Being mad was mentally exhausting. Everything at work took twice as long to finish today because he couldn't focus. He kept opening and closing the wrong files. He couldn't make sense of all the numbers on the spreadsheets. He mixed up the sales reps from different suppliers. It was just a freaking long day.

Dragging his feet, Arthit switched his phone back on as he entered the elevator. He was already expecting to see a bunch of missed calls and messages from his boyfriend. And that is exactly why he had switched his phone off during work. Arthit wasn't ready to talk to his boyfriend yet. Even though he has accepted Kongpob's reasons for choosing Ocean Electrics for his internship, he still doesn't like the fact that he didn't tell him about it.

However, to his surprise, Kongpob had only called him once. There were also only three messages from his boyfriend.

Arthit stepped out of the elevator when the doors opened to his floor. He heard some noises, and he looked up from his phone. He saw someone struggling with three huge cardboard boxes stacked on top of each other. He quickly dashed over to lend his new neighbor a hand.

"Oh, let me help you." Arthit said, but he was still a second too late to keep the top box from toppling over. He looked to the owner, and was shocked to see who was behind all those boxes. Standing there, the man looking back at him was none other than his boyfriend, Kongpob.
