Our KISSING Game [✔️]

Love Me?

A/N:
This one is a doozy! But I had to get it all out there so that things can start ramping up in intensity 👀

Honestly, I feel like I'm chasing after lost time to love them and their love. But I hope you will enjoy running down memory lane with me. Thank you for being here ❤️

Maybe he imagined that almost kiss.

Singto was totally normal around him since that day! In fact, he went from responding to Krist's teasing to not even reacting!

They've been to fan meetings and other events, and to everyone else, they seem like they always have been, just phi-nong as an imaginary couple.

At first, Krist went along with it. Perhaps he was just overanalyzing it.

One rare night off, Singto came over Krist's place to hang out and play games with him.

"Chup, chu, chup!" Paper and scissors.

The older of the two cheered, "Pizza!"

The boy with the paper hand groaned lightly and face palmed. "Again it's pizza."

Singto grinned and handed the other boy his phone. "You know what to do Kit."

Krist begrudgingly dialed his phi's favorite place and got their usual pizza with the usual toppings. Seriously, he loses a lot to this man.

They chatted amicably all throughout dinner, and Krist could feel his heart recharging as he watched his P'Sing flailing his arms around with a half-eaten pizza slice in his hand, talking animatedly about another petty argument he had with P'Jane.

After dinner, they cleared up and moved to the living room, settling down comfortably next to each other despite the couch being big enough to fit three other people.

Again. "Chup, chu, chup!"

Krist balked at his two extended fingers, "No!"

"Aha! Yay!" Singto's rock became a fist pump. "We will watch a romance movie! There was this one, I forgot the name, but it came out recently and I haven't had a chance to watch it."

Krist rolled his eyes but he couldn't help but smile when he saw how happy the other was. "Okay P'Sing, okay. You sure you don't want to do two out of three?" He shot his best puppy dog eye at the other along with a pout, hoping he would fall for it.

Singto gave a cheeky grin in return and shook his head. "Nope. Sorry Kit, but today seems to be my day."

Krist heaved an exaggerated sigh and nodded, leaning his head onto Singto's shoulder. "Fine, fine. Put on your sappy movie."

And this is how they always were. They were always comfortable with this level of closeness. They would watch in a cozy silence, Krist's head still resting on his shoulder, his arm wrapped around Krist to hold him close.

As the movie progressed through an intimate scene, Krist suddenly felt conscious of the fingers that wrapped gently at his waist. From those fingertips radiated a warmth that spread throughout his body, and he liked it. He wanted more and he never wanted to lose it.

Today was such a good day. He hasn't felt this close to Singto in a long while.

But for some reason, he also felt that it was fleeting, like they were barely hanging on to a delicate balance and it could end at any moment. So without further thinking, he blurted it out.

"P'Sing, are you still okay with me?"

Taken aback by the question that came out of the blue, Singto shifted to look down at Krist, but he couldn't catch his eyes. Sensing the younger man's shift in mood, he carefully responded, "What do you mean Kit?"
