...us

When Prem walked into the room, Boun was in the middle of a conversation over the live stream, laying on his stomach with his phone propped on his desk. Prem quietly closed the door and stood by the entrance, not wanting to disturb him. He quietly observed the older male's movements with a small smile. He didn't understand how he could be so utterly in love with this man...but he couldn't complain seeing how that smile lit up his entire face. Boun finally looked over in his direction, his smile seemed to widen at the sight of the other.

"You don't have to stand by the door, come here." He moved over on the bed to make room for the younger boy. Prem didn't hesitate to climb onto the bed next to him, getting comfy in the same position. He saw as the comments began blowing up with excitement that they were together again. The TeamWin comments outnumbered the BounPrem comments, but nonetheless they were all correct. He, obviously, couldn't reply much to those comments and stayed close to Boun's warmth.

The livestream continued for a few hours, both of them joking around and answering the questions they could. At one point, Boun's hair became too much for him to deal with, and Prem took it upon himself to pull his hair back out of his eyes, creating more shipping comments once again. But Prem didn't care. Shipped or not, he felt it was his job to take care of his P'Boun. Around others he did it subtly. Pulling back his hair, making sure he ate, making sure he rested if needed. But it was the moments alone Prem loved the most, although he'd never admit it. He loved being able to just be with him alone. He loved him...weather or not Boun loved him back.

Neither of them made their feelings known to each other. At least not straight on. There were moments they suspected it. The nights Prem couldn't sleep unless Boun was holding him. The moments Boun refused to got to a dinner or gathering unless Prem would go with him. The random times they'd find themselves holding each other or secluded in a corner with no real reason other than to be alone. The stolen glances no one else noticed, but they could always feel. These moments gave each of them hope. But still, never enough hope to admit it. But tonight, they decided, that was going to change.

As the livestream ended, Boun made it a point to turn off his phone, so following his lead, Prem did the same. He knew it was necessary if tonight were to end right. He was still confused in the first place as to why Boun wanted him there. But of course he wasn't going to complain. Boun sat up, leaning against the wall. He kept his eyes on Prem through the strands that fell from his pulled back hair into his eyes. Prem could feel his eyes on him, but refused to meet his gaze even as he spoke.

"Are you okay? Your text seemed urgent when you asked me to come...I thought one of us was in trouble." Prem laughed jokingly. Boun just shook his head.

"Don't worry. You're not in trouble...yet." He smiles teasingly.

"Yet? Uh oh. Why yet?" Boun just sighed and held his open his arms.

"Come here." Prem didn't hesitate before crawling into his lap and laying into his arms. He knew exactly what that meant, they'd spent many hours just sitting like this together. It made them both feel better after a stressful day or just to feel safe and reassured. Boun held him close as Prem snuggled into him.

"Are you sure you're okay? You seem clingier tonight." He nods instead of responding, burying his nose into his hair with a soft smile. "That's not an answer. P'Boooooun. What's wrong?"

"Nothing...I just want to hold you. You're warm."

"Liar." He looks up at Boun with the cutest pout he could muster and Boun almost couldn't help himself. But he kept himself contained just pulling the cutie closer.

"I'm not lying. I really just want to hold you."

"But...is that it?" Prem shifts a little and accidentally ends up moving their faces closer than necessary. A blush spreads over Prem's face, and suddenly Boun can't hold himself back.

"Can I kiss you..?" Boun doesn't make any movement to pull away from when're they sit, waiting for Prem to answer. After a minute of the stunned boy not answering, Boun begins to rethink his decision and starts to pull away. Before he can get to far, Prem's hands move to the side of his face, pulling him back down, and kissing him without anymore hesitation. Their bodies press closer as they continue to kiss, love and longing behind each kiss they lean in to.

When they finally pull away, Prem is bright red, and Boun looks shocked.

"I never thought that would happen..."

"I've been waiting for the right moment..It's hard to control myself around you sometimes. Ever since we met it's been getting harder and harder to keep myself away. When Fluke teases you I get jealous...When we're alone it's hard to keep my hands to myself...every time I see you I just want to hold you and never let g-" Prem cuts him off with a soft but quick peck to his lips.

"You're rambling again..." He jokes, Boun just laughs.

"Sorry...w-wait so this means you...like me back?"

Prem nods, "I have since the beginning. I thought it would be better if I stayed silent but...more days passed and I...I just wanted to be near you. Be with you."

"Does this mean I can lose a little bit of control around you?"

Once again Boun received a nod, but this one hesitant. "But not so much around the others ok? I want this to just be...us."

"Of course." Boun kisses him one last time, before holding Prem as close as possible for the rest of the night.

A.N. (Ae/Ni ; They/Them)
Happy new year! I know this is a little late but I wanted to get it out in January so technically, I reached my goal!
Here's my plan for 2021:
- A new short/one shot every month! (Or two of I have the time).
- A full story or two! Chapters will be released every week (Monday I think) and will consist of either a 2Moons2 plot or a Waterboyy plot (since I don't see a lot of that)
- Possibly a Shifting Memories journal? Who knows!
So please stick around for what 2021 has to offer!
