My Husband

Chapter 1

Present Day

Max looked directly at the reported shoving the microphone in his face and with a shit-kicker grin, replied, "I don't need a woman. Him," pointing directly at Tul, "I have him. He is my husband."

Tul smiled back and gave a double thumbs up, going with the flow. Thank god for professionalism.

The reporter, a beautiful young woman tried to ask a few more questions regarding their relationship and Tul moved closer and said, "Interview's over. Thank you for your time today." Gave a respectful bow and holding Max's hand tightly, lead him off the stage.

The press conference had been open to both reporters and fans, as well as broadcast internationally. This news was going to be huge, and Tul wished Max would have let him know beforehand but it was so typically Max...

In the green room, the two young men collapsed together on the couch and snuggled. Max held Tul closely on his lap, not caring who saw, but the bodyguards hired by the production company did their job well.

"Max," Tul sighed, "You've done it now. We're never going to have any peace at all."

"Oh come on! You know since the first drama aired we've never had any." Max laughed. "I can't kiss any other man with feelings and you can't either. We claim to be actors and it looks horrible on film. People aren't stupid, Baby, they can see through it the more we try to hide it. Especially since I don't try to hide anymore."

Tul looked at his nong and and the contagious grin that had caught his attention all those years ago and realized he really didn't want to hide either. Problem was, real life wasn't like the dramas they acted in, and while the boylove fans may adore the shipped couple "MaxTul", he wasn't sure what to think. 

Max was idealistic, Tul was realistic. Max was outgoing while Tul was a very private soul. They had each accomplished the goals they had set privately for themselves, graduating Chulalongkorn University and for once, Tul was grateful for the looks god gave him, for they brought Max into his life.

Life would be so boring without Max. Max was right, the more he tried to cover up the little daily things they did, feeding each other, sleeping together, basically dating each other... the more it showed. They, as a couple, were just so in tune to each other.

They were the perfectly balanced couple for each other, Max brought Tul out of his shell and Tul kept Max grounded with his organizational skills. Each man was incredibly jealous of each other and it showed when another man came into the small personal bubble and tried to touch their man. Women, no problem! The men were perfect flirts and gentlemen, making each woman at the fan meets feel special but men... could not touch or hug. There would be pouting or arguments after, words thrown that neither meant at how that boy was cuter... or sexy.

The boys cuddling on the couch sunk closer together, lost in thought. Max tightened his arms protectively around his baby. "Sleep for a while, P', we don't have anything else on our schedule until tonight. But it will be at least another hour before all the fans leave and we can leave."

Tul kept his eyes closed and nodded while listening to Max's strong heartbeat and slowly drifted off to sleep. 

 A/N: I'm taking a break from Forth and Beam, well, not really. This story has been on the back burner for a few months now, and I've been polishing it up, wanting to publish it complete. When the announcement Max made at the press conference came, about Tul being his husband came, wowee, that put an entirely new spin on the whole thing and I came back, with a new intro and a a way to tie the whole thing together, and not just with sex (although I think the sex scenes in here are some of my hottest work, then again, I'm weird that way.)

Anyways, MaxTul are STILL the hottest THAI BL couple out there for me (just my opinion) but the reasons why I write MORE about PavelDome or ForthBeam is that I just hated the way they both a) filmed the couple and b) the way they were written about. The couple had sooo much potential and it was always as if things started and then stopped, started and stopped... It pissed me off.  I like a solid foundation. MingKit got one, so did PhaWayo (my least favorite BL couple in any fandom - I don't care who is acting as them! Fight me, hate me I don't care! They are boooring! Even in the novel, they are boring.) So, I wanted to give ForthBeam a platform where you could see how Pavel and Dome would actually shine, given a chance to act in character. At least I can picture it... Since I'm writing it, I think I did okay.

Okay, I'm rambling... sorry, back to the point. BTW, it's okay to skip this note! So, Max and Tul were okay in that really crappy series, Bad Romance (no, I hadn't read the books yet - there were no English translations available yet) but wow, the looks of the two of them were stunning. I can remember clearly waiting 3 weeks each week for the subs to come out on YouTube by PinkMilk (Ty for that - miss you) and then, when they announced Together With Me, Social Media blew up and the boys really began to become popular. Again, I waited 3 weeks after each airing for Subs, but it was so worth it. TWM set a new standard for Thai BL, one where realistic kissing was to be normalized and now, BL fans would NOT settle for fake camera angles and just a kiss on the cheek. 

As an International fan, I hunted down every interview I could and hounded translators, begging and pleading to have them translated, sometimes waiting months to find out what was said (Thank you to all those patient, very kind people - you know who you are because google translator sucks when it comes to Thai!) In essence, MaxTul are a special ship. Everything in this story is fake except the opening statement, the names of the dramas they have been in and the timeline. I do NOT give a damn about their personal lives. They could be martians and I would still be happy or one of them could get married and have 10 babies and I'd be over the moon if  he would be happy. That's all that matters, if a person is happy. I'm happy to watch them. They make me happy watching them on screen. Life's too short not to be happy so find some happiness okay?
