The secret of our true love between us and everything in the middle

Chapter 2

The cold cup of pink milk was chilling his hand as KongPob walked through the throngs of students who were busy going around their day towards the senior P's table. He was a bit surprised to see P'Bright and P'Man already there checking out the various girls as per usual.
“Sawadee krap P'Bright, P'Man. You are here early today?”
P'Bright immediately turned his face towards their new visitor who seemed far more interesting than the cute girls around. Elbowing Man slightly, P'Bright couldn't help but feel giddy ready to jump into action. “Oh Man, look who we have here this early morning. It's Arthit's new loeverboy.” “Why are you here my sweet lover boy,” P'Man asked coyly as he joined in jest. KongPob smiled shyly, a blish coming over his cheeks making him unable to answer.
        “Awuu, can't you talk to your in laws now? Why are you sooo shy lover boy? And what is that you are holding in your hand?” P'Bright continued. Man already had grabbed the paper bag holding the steamed rice and spicy pork basil leaving KongPob with the milk pink. “Actually P'Bright, this food is for P'Arthit krap. I bought it for him because I know he was going to wake up late today and won't have time to get his food.”

“Oiiiiii Man, it hasn't even been a day since they announced their relationship to the world and already they are being sweet to each other. Mmmhhh hmm…! Don't worry my dear boy, Arthit may not be here right now but we will ensure he gets his boyfriend's food OK?”
“Soo sweet it's making me jealous.” P'Man added.
“Jealous or nauseous?” They both began laughing as KongPob kept his head low to avoid them seeing his flustered face.

                  “Eiiiiiii, what are you fools doing here soo early laughing like you aren't OK in the head?” KongPob immediately turned to face the voice of whom he had longed to see and felt shimmer of thrill convulse within him. P'Arthit looked as handsome as always even with the bed hair still present. He looked a bit tired but his ever present attitude and charisma still shone through and KongPob couldn't help but like him even more.

“Ahhhhhh speak of the devil and the devil appears! Arthit can't you see that your lovely husband came all the way from his dorm to bring you your breakfast because he knew you would wake up late awuuuu...you are soo lucky now that you have a husband at your every beck and call.” P'Bright cackled.
“Husband my ass! One more word from you and you'll be eating from my shoe!” P'Arthit retaliated as he threw false punches and slaps towards P'Bright causing KongPob to smile at the exchange.
It was very enjoyable to see P'Arthit get teased as well by his friends.

“P'Arthit krap,” he called out which caught the senior student's attention immediately. “KongPob, what are you doing here soo early. I thought you would be resting today. I remember you said that you had a headache last night.” P'Arthit said a worrisome expression on his face which warmed KongPob's heart.
“I am fine P'Arthit, all I needed was a bit of sleep. Besides what kind of husband would I be if I left my wife to starve just because of a small headache.”

“KONGPOB!” P'Arthit shouted his pale skin flushing red as his eyes darted from left to right trying to see if anyone had heard what had been said. KongPob's boy vibrated slightly as he chuckled at the panisked man i front of him.
“Don't say such things in public KongPob. Besides, I'm the one who is the husband and you are the wife!” he rasped.
KongPob felt like kissing him right there and then. P'Arthit had a way with his words that just turned KongPob wild but he withheld himself.
    “OK then, accept this wife's humble present for his husband.” He held the pink milk out towards P'Arthit and was gladenned when P'Arthit bent his head down towards the drink and took a long sip from it.
“Do you like it P'Arthit krap?” “Mhhh, it's goo...” “Or do you like the one who brought it?” KongPob Askes shamelessly, a flirtatious look in his eyes as he stared at P'Arthit.  “KongPob!! Oiiiiii!” P'Arthit hastely grabbed the pink milk out of his hand, his head shaking at the bluntness of the younger man before he joined the rets at the table and effectively avoided eye contact with KongPob.

“Awuuu, lover boy aren't you going to join your wife for breakfast?” Immediately P'Arthit began his usual defense against the endless teasing gang. Needless to say, it was a sight to be seen. Adjusting his bag pack, KongPob cleared his throat to regain the group's attention.
“I am sorry but I won't be able to. I have to meet my friends at the moment but when time allows I will join you next time.”
“Is it when time allows or is it when your precious P'Arthit asks you to come eehhhhhh.....”
KongPob just smiled before giving them a Wai and turned to leave.

“Ahhhhhh, KongPob! What time does your class end today?”
   “My class ends at 4 o'clock P'Arthit. Why do you ask?” “Nothing, no reason. Then wait for me in front of your class ok? I'll come pick up.”
A shout of boyish glee filled the table once again and P'Arthit felt as though he would creep into a hole and disappear. This was too much for the morning.
“Arthit, why are you picking up lover boy after class? Are you planning to take him out on a date?” P'Bright shouted as though he wanted to tell the whole world. Another shout of noises erupted until P'Arthit sufficiently hushed them with a 'none of your business' comment.
“Don't worry P'Arthit, I will wait for you.Bye.”
Arthit gave a nod in acknowledgement as KongPob turned around and walked away, happiness in his heart.

“Mmmhhh, and now that I think about it, KongPob is really a man of his word.” Man suddenly commented. “Why? What did he do?” Arthit asked taking immediate interest in whatever Man had to say about his boy.
“It was only the other day that he declared he would make you his wife and look at you now, you are his wife already!”
That caused the whole table to burst out laughing as they recalled the infamous incident.
P'Arthit immediately kicked Man in his shins before he ordered them to shut up, sipping his milk in feigned annoyance. No one noticed the faint curvature of his lips as he watched the retreating form of KongPob and he inwardly admitted that KongPob had indeed kept to his word and he was glad he did.
