The Ghost of the Past (OhmFluke AU Fanfiction)

VIII

Another productive day!

The thought made Boun happily hummed to himself. Boun decided to use the stairs to think about the happy things that happened in his life right now.

Everything is going well with Boun. His firm is doing well, his cousin is perfectly well (very well if you asked him, aside from him asking for his year worth leave. He rolled his eyes when he heard that from Ohm.)

"As long as you can always be on call, then everything is alright." Boun replied, sipping his avocado shake that Fluke made for him.

"Got it."

"Whipped" Boun whispered, snickering on his metal straw.

"I heard that, you ass. And I am proud." Ohm replied as he continued washing the dishes.

It has almost been four months since the OhmFluke pair became a couple. Boun still cannot stop himself from grinning everytime the people in the firm asked him about the OhmFluke pair. Though sometimes he needs to smack some of them because they are being unreasonable.

After the one week that Boun gave to Ohm, his cousin went back to work different. Mark and Jess who knows the reason behind his different aura, gave each other a high five, snickering behind their tables.

Ohm was more focused than usual and clocked out on time, exactly on the dot. Many were surprised about this sudden new behavior because he usually finished his work in the office or bringing them along with him so he can keep working at home.

But this time, Ohm didn't push himself and didn't bring any work to finish at home.

"Ah, really. It's for the better." Jess commented, grinning wide as he inspected Ohm's table. "Not overworking himself at all."

Mark also commented, "We have seen him slowly changing even then. But look at him now, he came back from a break but now he has a brake." Mark laughed at his own rhymed sentence, then shouted "Boun find yourself a lover too! But not just any lover, someone who must also be good for you. Someone who makes you, you. Just look at your cousin!"

The 'cousin' being asked only laughed at them, saying "Ohm's situation is very different and one of a kind" while the people who heard it started gossiping. "Wait, someone took Ohm away from Fluke?!"

"No! That cannot be! How can Ohm do tha-"

"What do you mean? We are talking about Fluke!" Jess exclaimed, adding "How could you forget the pictures Boun sent to us? Didn't you see the sweater? That was Ohm's favorite sweater!"

"Oh, that's good then. For a while there I was thinking how could Ohm do that and how I can hurt Ohm for leaving Fluke."

"Alright, stop gossiping and go back to work! Or go home to your loved ones and follow Ohm's example." Boun exclaimed, hitting them with a folder on their heads.

Even that little fairy friend of Fluke have been visiting almost everyday until he told Earth's husband to take him away.

"Kao! Why are you just idly standing there and let Earth scrutinize me everytime he visits!" Fluke whined, turning around to bury his face on Ohm's chest, hiding from his fairy friend Earth.

"He is just a curious being, Fluke. And you getting shy everytime he does it just pushes him to do it more." Kao replied, standing on the table with his cup of coffee that Boun gave to him (Boun ordered a kids teacup set toy for the fairies since Kao had taken to his liking the taste of human's coffee and finding out it didn't harm him. Nowadays, whenever they visit, both Boun and Kao talks to each other with a cup of coffee.)
