Falling Spectacularly - a pangwave fanfic

6

Wave was never late to class. When he skipped, he skipped for a reason, not because he overslept after staying up most of the night with his boyfriend who was still dead asleep when Wave left.

Wave tried sneaking into class 5-1 undetected, which proved to be a difficult task seeing as he sat on the opposite side of the room from the doors. The teacher didn't notice, but his classmates were snickering. The untouchable Wave making a delayed appearance in class? Unthinkable.

When class ended, Claire turned around and smiled sweetly at Wave. "I never thought you would be late for a math lesson. Was someone keeping you?"

Wave tried to school his expression, but he knew Claire could see what he was really feeling. "What would give you that idea?"

Claire shrugged. "I don't know, but I guess I have my answer now." She turned back to Punn and whispered something that made him raise an eyebrow.

Shit, Wave thought as he pulled out his cell phone. He sent a quick text to Pang, 'I think Claire knows.'

Pang responded right before the end of the break between classes. 'y didnt u wake me up???' it said with about six crying emojis. Then a 'wouldnt surprise me we arent the MOST subtle.'

Wave quickly responded with a 'Talk later, go to class, dummy.' before tuning back into the lesson.

Would it really be that bad if everybody knew? Wave thought. We were only really hiding it from Pang's friends, but they know now.

Class ended soon after, prompting Wave to bolt out of his seat and to the rooftop. He texted Pang to meet him there and to bring him food because he hadn't eaten at all that day. Pang responded with a few heart-eye emojis and a thumbs-up emoji.

When Pang got there he smiled at Wave, though he still looked really tired. "Hi."

Wave couldn't help but smile back. "Hey. Thanks for the food."

"No problem, babe." Pang plopped down next to Wave. "How did Claire find out?"

"She asked me a question and she knew I was lying. Then she told Punn. What do you think we should do?"

Pang picked at his food. "What can we do? The way I see it, they either out us or we tell everyone ourselves."

Wave shrugged. "It's up to you. I'll support you no matter what you decide."

Pang cooed. "Since when did you become so sweet, huh? My supportive boyfriend is so cute!" Pang hugged Wave around his shoulders and planted a loud kiss onto the side of his head.

Wave groaned. "I'm not sweet or cute, dumbass. Eat your food before I steal it all."

Pang grinned. "Do it. You're too skinny."

Wave stole a piece of Pang's pork, ignoring Pang's protests.

Later that day, all the Gifted students were hanging out in the classroom. For the first time, Wave and Pang walked in together. Claire stared at the two as they made their way into the classroom, raising her eyebrows as Wave sat down.

"Pang, I heard you were late this morning. Weird, so was Wave." Claire commented.

"I wouldn't have been as late if he had woken me up," Pang shot back.

Claire laughed. "You guys are so obvious."

Punn shook his head at Claire's comment. "Are you guys seriously a thing?" he asked.

Pang looked at Wave for any sort of sign. Wave raised his eyebrow and smirked, as if telling Pang, it's your call.

Pang took a deep breath. "Yes, actually. We've been dating for two months."

Ohm was the first one to respond. "Two months? I thought for sure it was longer!"

"Dude, you already knew," Pang said.

Korn shook his head. "No offense, but you guys weren't subtle at all."

Mon nodded. "We were betting on how long it would take you to get together."

Pang's mouth fell open in shock. "Seriously? What the heck guys!"

Wave tried to contain his laughter, but he couldn't help but snicker at Pang's reaction. The rest of the Gifted students stood up and pulled out a hundred baht each. They all handed it to Namtarn, who smiled sweetly at Pang. "Sorry, Pang."

Pang turned to Wave. "Can you believe this?"

Wave shook his head. "You said earlier that we weren't subtle, babe. I'm not surprised."

Claire groaned. "Are they going to start flirting in front of us now?"

Ohm scoffed. "Oh please, as if we aren't used to it with you and Punn."

Punn blushed. "This isn't about us."

Pang sat on Wave's desk with a huff. Wave grabbed Pang's hand and smiled up at him. "I'm glad everything turned out okay," he said.

Pang nodded. "Me too. I don't know why I ever thought our friends would disapprove."

"Your friends, you mean" Wave replied.

Pang rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say, baby."
