Pulling away, Kaew gave him a foreign smile - one she had only ever directed towards Leo. "Well, I should get going."
He scrunched his brows, "Where will you be staying?"
"My second condo," she informed him, giving a tight smile as she reached out and hesitantly poked his forehead. It was clear she wanted to pat his head, but found it too foreign and awkward to do so. "Catch you later."
"Stay safe," King said softly, leading her out the door. She nodded, inhaling a bit to try and gain some more confidence in her decisions. He watched as she walked down the hall and made it into the elevator safely before closing the door, and locking it.
He heaved a sigh, leaning his hands and head against the door for a couple of minutes to collect his thoughts. Once he was done, he walked to the bedroom and found Rune sitting crisscrossed with a guitar in hand, and his phone laying on the bed.
He gave a worry glance when he saw King walk in, pausing whatever video he had been watching.
"Everything okay?" He asked, taking in the solemn and stressed look on King's face. Ever since he met him, it seemed as though the younger boy was continuously pledged by misfortune, and a busy life.
King nodded, sitting down next to Rune. A strange desire occurred through him, and he leaned his head against Rune's shoulder - surprising the older boy.
"Just some family matters," he mumbled, closing his eyes. Rune stiffened at the gesture and remained still.
"Well, I'll be here for you if you ever need someone to talk to."
"Thank you," King mumbled.
His reply made Rune smile. He resumed the video, making sure not to move too much as King still had his head rested on his shoulder. The two fell into a blissful silence with only the soft sounds coming from Rune's phone while he watched a guitar tutorial. Usually he would be strumming along, but just for King, he would leave that for another time.

A soft breathing caught his attention. Slightly turning his head, making sure to raise his free hand to catch King's head in case it fell forward, he found the said boy fast asleep.
Chuckling, he carefully set the guitar back into its place; ledge between the bed and desk and on its stand. He gently maneuvered one arm to wrap around King's shoulders, and used his other to hold onto King's head as he laid him down on the bed.
A fond smile etched his face at how adorable he looked. Fixing the pillows underneath him, he grabbed his phone, and pulled the blankets over the two of them. He lowered the volume, and switched to social media instead, allowing King to sleep peacefully without any disturbance.

You're not falling in love are you?
What?
With this mystery boy
It's not like that 555
Are you sure?
Yeah
What makes you think otherwise?
Rune. You rarely post pictures of people unless you hold them close to your heart. And the way you're tiptoeing around with revealing who he is, is similar to how you tiptoed around the first person you liked.
OhDon't worry
Besides I haven't known him for long
Don't think I would suddenly fall in love just like that after a break up
But it's possible for you to develop a crush. It could've been while you were still together with Cherry. We both know you were losing feelings for her. So it's not impossible for you to start liking someone else
Don't think this too much
I just find him nice
and attractive
And sexy
His voice is soothing too
🤨
Urr
Shit
Fuck
Okay fine
Maybe I have a tiny tiny crush
But that's all
I swear it'll go away
I'm pretty sure he's straight anyway
Doesn't sound very convincing but alright
Fine
Just be careful
Ok
I will
Night
Night :)He closed his phone. Looking over at the quiet sleeping boy, he swore underneath his breath. When had he begun to start catching feelings? They barely knew each other, and he wasn't one to normally catch feelings this fast.
He could find someone attractive, yes, but it always took sometime for him to actually begin feeling anything real for them. Hence why he's only had two relationships so far.
Reaching out, he playfully poked King's cheek, loving how soft it was.
Perhaps it was when they volunteered together, or perhaps it was when King cried in Rune's arm, appearing so small and vulnerable despite his height. He really couldn't pinpoint the exact time he began to develop a crush on King.
He turned away, putting his phone underneath the pillow before letting out one last sigh and closing his eyes to sleep.
"Sometimes I wish the rain would wash away this emptiness I feel, Prince."
He awoke with a gasp, getting up in a hasty manner, trying to catch his breath. He clenched his shirt, shutting his eyes tightly as he started to sweat and tremble at the resurfacing memories.
Once his mind cleared, he loosened his grip on his shirt. Looking around, he found that Rune was luckily not in the room with him to have witnessed the slight scene he had just performed.
"Me too," he mumbled, letting out a tired sigh before laying back down onto the bed, and looking up at the ceiling. "I also want it to wash away my emptiness, Rose."
