fightertutor: switch! - finished

🎀. NINETEEN

not even a seconds fighter takes his glance away from his junior, tutor. since the time they ordered the menu, tutor has something that makes fighter can stare at him, can fulfill his tummy just by seeing the younger eating.

so when the senior finds out the change of tutor's facial expression, he can conclude easily there is something on his junior mind.

"tor," calls fighter with his deep tone. "what happened?"

tutor may try to hide his feeling from the person who eating with him at the moment. he throws his gaze away and sighs. even the sweet desserts which are served on the table surface cannot capture his attention to forget what happened earlier.

the fight with his childhood friend, ae.

because there is no answer, fighter doesn't want to force someone he loves. he understands whenever tutor ready, he will listen to him. so he just leans his palm forward, wrapping around tutor's fingers to transfer the warmth.

the action successfully makes tutor to take his gaze towards him. "it's okay," tells fighter, "if you need someone to share, you have me, okay? just tell me when you want it."

once again a deep sigh escapes from the wattanapirom's son.

"i fought with ae."

the story starts as tutor tells doubtfully. but instead of giving a vocal respond, fighter waits him to continue whilst his finger stroking the other's palm gently.

"ae is angry at me because i chose to spend the lunch time with you instead of pete and him."

well fighter has to be happy knowing the fact tutor makes that decision. but it's not the right time because his lovely one seems not in a good condition about it--moreover, why ae got angry just because tutor decided to be with him? being to possessive with his boyfriend's twin or his childhood friend.

"i wonder," fighter takes a breath, since tutor doesn't say a words, he wants to know too. "what's his purpose?"

tutor puffs his cheek, he loses appetite and put the fork on the plate. "i also think about it, p'fight. what's wrong like... he said i forget about pete and him lately but the fact i always have breakfast and sometimes dinner with them, also mom and dad."

"tor." the older lad seems hesitant about telling his conclusion or not.

but tutor just replies with humming.

so after exhales for a while, fighter gathers his valor to ask, "what if he likes you?"

tutor frowns. "impossible. he has pete, after all... ae is not kind of person, p'fight." while answering it, couple of his orbs stare directly to his senior's lens.

somehow it builds the insecurity from fighter who can only let a crack chuckle. "what if tor? what if he likes you and confess to you..."

yes, fighter cannot stop to think about it, so better he asks for confirmation.

"will you stop seeing me?"

silent.

both ot them close their lips and let the reticence to take the shift. mixed with the atmosphere around the two souls.

and everything seems getting worse because a familiar voice greets their membrane.

"tor~! p'fighter~"

why the world make tutor meeting by chance with someone who he doesn't want to see a lot at the moment? yeah, that's pete--and wherever pete is, ae with him. simply.

"can we have lunch together?" pete asks cutely with his soft smile as he arrives on the table side.

fighter glances at tutor for a while but the lad throw his vision towards the big window beside. so the older nods with a crack smile. bringing the plate to tutor's side also move to sit beside him.
