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

Chapter 7

P'Arthit felt a small tickle in his hair as he slowly came to. It was probably one of the sleeps of his life. It took a few seconds before he recalled where was and he hummed in satisfaction. KongPob and he were still locked onto each other and Arthit felt a sense of security and tranquility that he had never felt before. He felt gratified that he had been given the chance to meet KongPob and he didn't kind staying like this with him for a long time.
“Good morning P'Arthit krap. Did you sleep well?” KongPob asked immediately when he saw his P had woken up. He faced down a bit to catch a glimpse of P'Arthit's morning face. His face was a bit puffy and sleeping lines adorned his side face, a bit of dried drool on the side of his mouth. He was a cute hot mess but at least he was KongPob's cute hot mess. KongPob wasn't even one to talk with his hair sticky out in every direction and a bit of eye crust was on his eyelashes.
     “Good morning KongPob. I slept well thank you for asking. Your bed is quite comfortable now that I remember. I need to find a similar bed for my own room.” P'Arthit rasped his voice a bit dry and out of tune.
       “Is it the bed that is comfortable or the person whom you hugged the whole night long?”KongPob replied directly looking down on P'Arthit. “Mmmhhh KongPob, don't start now. It's tooo early for this.” P'Arthit groaned as he closed his eyes on him.
Laughing quietly, KongPob felt light as he conceded not to tease P'Arthit yet. “OK P'Arthit. Then...... let me go get breakfast for us. I know you must be starving by now.” KongPob made a move to rise from bed when P'Arthit pulled him down into himself and clutched onto him tightly.
      “Wait KongPob. It's a bit to early for breakfast and I'm sure that the shops haven't even opened for business yet. I'm not that hungry now so why don't we stay like this for a little while then we will have breakfast later on mhh,” he said as he slowly slipped into another episode of sleep.
“Ohh P'Arthit. OK then, I won't leave just yet.” P'Arthit could only manage a hum in response as he drifted off his head laying on KongPob's chest. His heartbeat provided such a soothing lullaby for him and he was soon out like a light. KongPob held P'Arthit close as he also relaxed into his position and shut his eyes to resume their earlier state. The two laid there for another good hour until the sun rose well into the sky and even the drrk grey curtains couldn't shield away some of the rays.
         KongPob managed to finally slip out of P'Arthit's hold when he heard their stomachs growl and decided to rush to the food stalls. He snapped a photo of the child like man in his bed then walked out as slow as possible so as not to disturb the lulling angel. By the time KongPob got back, he found P'Arthit already awake and was busy setting the table for the two of them. The bed had even  been made.
“Ohh! You're already awake? I'm sorry I'm a bit late with breakfast, there was a bit of a line at the kiosk.” He said as he placed two bags of food on the table. “It's ok KongPob. I am not a little child whom you need to constantly worry about. I just hope you were able to get my favourite.” P'Arthit said as he took a seat at the two seated table. “Pink milk yes, but  they were no spicy pork curry available so I had to take an omelette cake and regular pork basil stew . I hope that's ok P'Arthit.”
       A frown had edged onto Arthit's face given the news but he didn't not have a choice as he was starving at this point. His frown didn't go unnoticed and KongPob got up and was about to go out once again in search of P'Arthit's favourite meal.
  “Ehhh, where are you going KongPob?”
“I'm going to find you some spicy pork basil curry P'Arthit. I know you don't like bland food and I want you to feel at home here with me.” He turned to leave and P'Arthit almost knocked the table over as he reached over to him.
“Eh eh, wait KongPob! Take it easy. Its true that I am a bit disappointed that I won't eat my curry but that doesn't mean I won't eat my curry but that doesn't mean I won't eat you bring me. I'll eat anything as long as it's from you even if it's this bland food. So sit down and eat. If you leave this room at any cost I will eat everything and let you starve all day.”
         KongPob's heart lightened as he sat down and the two settled for breakfast. “By the way KongPob, how much are you planning to pack to take with you?” P'Arthit asked as he took a bite. “Not much P'Arthit, just a few clothes and books. About 2-3 suit cases to say the least.” “Hmmm, and are you going there by yourself or is someone picking you up?”
“My father is going to pick me up later in the evening.”
“OK, then we better finish up and begin.”
They ate up as much as possible while enjoying each other's company. As the packing commenced, the pair playfully jested with each other, KongPob picking on P'Arthit multiple times while P'Arthit was a constant ticking bomb who burst out in short spurs of annoyance much to KongPob's pleasure.

          “Oiii KongPob, how many things do you have? Already we've packed 4 bags of clothes, shoes and 3 boxes of books and still you mean to say that we aren't finished!! Hooiiiiii KongPob! I'm already tired,” P'Arthit complained as he threw himself onto the bed. KongPob laid next to him his hand finding it's way to brush a few stray strands of P'Arthit's hair.
“Why don't we take a break then? ” “Mhh! Let's do.”
P'Arthit relaxed as his eyes shut while KongPob maintained his activity of brushing his hair strands. “Will we get to see each often P'Arthit now that I am moving home?”
“What kind of question is that KongPob? Of course we will see each other. We are dating aren't we? Plus you can always come visit me in the condo that I'm renting. We will see each other as often as possible alright KongPob? Don't worry about it.” P'Arthit said as he gazed lovingly at KongPob.
  “Soooo...... you mean that I can visit your condo anytime I want P'Arthit?” Aslap resonated throughout the air as P'Arthit hit KongPob on the chest. “KongPob, is that you heard me say and think about? If you continue like this, I'll not allow you to visit me at all.” “I'm sorry P'Arthit, I'll behave.” The two then settled into each other once again and took their well observed break.
