ADDICTED: NICOTINE

CHAPTER 11

The scorching heat from the sun was making the boys feel all sweaty and sticky, they were wearing summer outfits to fit the vibe the town gave off. Kongpob took out a napkin to wipe his boyfriend's forehead that was practically dripping like a waterfall. They separated from their friends Third, Toota, and Knot after exhausting their selves by chaotically playing laser battle at Game Space.

FLASHBACK

"Kongpob! Where are you?!" Arthit was running around looking for his boyfriend, he was pretty sure the said man was following him when they entered the battle hall. Half an hour has passed since they started playing, he didn't think his friends would be this good at hiding.

"Arthit! I'm over here! Just keep shooting!" Kong says from a distance, Arthit looks around in search of the voice.

"Kong! Don't let yourself get shot okay?!" the paler boy exclaimed as he held the laser gun with both his hands.

He and his friends split into two groups, the first group had Third, Toota, and Knot, and the other was Kongpob and Arthit. At first Arthit was whining because he wanted to have Knot as a group mate since he was the only one in their friend group who had played laser battle, but Third and Toota opposed and said that Kongpob knew how to shoot real guns so it doesn't make much of a difference. Arthit face palmed at his friends and just gave up.

Arthit sees a person wearing a green vest from a distance, must be Third he thought in his head. He slowly approached it from behind to get a better shot. Before the game started the two parties agreed on a bet, the losing team were to sleep with only boxers on at the beach outside the villa, Arthit was pretty confident that his team won't lose so he agreed.

Arthit stayed a few meters away from his target and raised his gun to shoot.

Brrrr brrrrr brrrrr brrrr 

"a player has been eliminated" a robotic voice said. 

Arthit was so confused, he got shot? By who?

"What the fuck?" Arthit turned around and saw Toota behind laughing his lungs out.

"Tootaaaa!" Arthit whined.

Third: "HA! That's what you get for sneaking up on me!" the small man laughed and went closer to Toota to give him a high five.

"a player has been eliminated, a player has been eliminated" the robotic voice repeated, Toota and Third's mouth hang open.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" The two men said in unison, Arthit was practically rolling on the ground as he laughed when he saw Kongpob shoot his two friends at the back.

Arthit: "Kong! Knot is still in game! Be careful!" he said before blowing off a flying kiss to his lover, which was caught and returned by Kong.

Arthit: "And you guys were saying?" he added while raising an eyebrow while laughing.

Toota: "Whatever. Knot is still in game, we'll win for sure."

Arthit: "Ya'll don't get too confident HAHAHAH"

"a player has been eliminated, green team wins the battle."

END OF FLASHBACK

"I still can't believe we lost the game. I mean what happened?"

"When you warned me that Knot was still in game, I saw him around at the right corner so I followed him, while I was making a turn and saw that no one was there I turned back and jumped when I saw him! He was right in front of me, I don't even know how he got there, are you sure Knot doesn't teleport or can't open portals?" Arthit just laughed lightly and shook his head.
