Singto hums away as he plays Monopoly with his friends. He is distracted. Well, of course he is. It's his birthday in a few hours and that one person whom he loves as much as his father, that one person isn't with him.
He understands the difficulties of being public figures, the constraints, and he knows very well that Krist is still mad at him for not bringing him on this trip.
But it couldn't be helped. Krist had a full packed schedule the next few days and bringing Krist along would have definitely raised a lot of suspicions about their relationship. Anyway, they had been spilling out too much information the past few days.
Singto had read through their fans' theories about how they are actually dating, and he isn't surprised that some of them are threateningly close to the truth. Everyone had witnessed their drama, first when Krist Namtan were being shipped, and then again when shooting for FRIENDZONE season 2 began.
"Why the long face Singto? Cheer up!" Fook says, while all the others laughat his misery.
As his close friends, they are all aware of the relationship between his 'nong' and him, and he had been relentlessly teased by all his friends, including his father, all the while on this trip.
He makes a face at them, and then goes back to scrolling through Twitter, laughing at the Peraya fan club. They, for sure, had over imaginative brains. But little did they know, they were not always clowning themselves. Some things were very very true, and Singto couldn't fathom how they could hit the bullseye without personally knowing either him or Krist.
Singto eyes the clock rather nervously. Krist had promised that this year he would be the first one to wish him, and Singto didn't want to pick up anyone else's call before that.
When p'Jane hits him on the head, Singto groans, dragging his feet and walking off to grab something to eat. His father laughs at him, and Singto sighs.
Everyone just wants to laugh at me!
******************
Krist pets Muffin, while Pluto watches them warily. He knows that his first cat isn't particularly happy about having to share him, but he really really wanted to get Muffin because she is exactly what a certain someone desires in a cat.
"Do you miss Daddy Singto? I do too... he left us here..." Krist is still mad at the elder. He really wanted to be with him on his birthday, and a trip would have been perfect to compensate for all the times they had to cancel their plans because of their busy schedules.
It wouldn't hurt that the villa was extremely luxurious and they would have had an entire king size bed all to themselves. It had been way too long since they had gotten together like that... and honestly Krist was seriously beginning to miss the elder in bed.
Krist sighs. He wonders why in heaven's name does he keep behaving like a sex deprived wife, and then shakes his head when Pluto comes to attack Muffin.
"Ai Pluto! Don't attack nong..." he says, but the sphynx pays no attention to him, instead going to kiss the fur ball. Krist gasps at the interaction between his two cats. No wonder their fan club had been saying that Pluto and Muffin are exactly like Krist and Singto.
Krist feels a nostalgic pang in his heart when he thinks about all the past days, when Singto would court him like Pluto is currently trying to court Muffin. All the alcohol he had consumed earlier making him miss the older even more, if that was even possible. And despite the older's affinity for the furry cat, Krist knows Muffin resembles him while Pluto is exactly like Singto.
