In Every Lifetime

Chapter Nine

Kongpob's eyes fluttered open with the light of dawn streaming through the windows. He was about to stretch his body out when he realised that there was a weight holding him down. He grinned with satisfaction as he gently stroked the head of hair that was pressed against his chest.

Arthit groaned slightly at his touch and nuzzled further into him. This was the first time that they had cuddled all night as lovers and no longer with their ambiguous relationship. Kongpob's heart leapt for joy at the memory of what had transpired the night before. He could get used to mornings like this. He'd take as many as he could get.

Looking up at the time, he was tempted to snuggle up to the sleeping body for just a little while longer but he knew that he was going to need the extra time to wake his wife up. Mornings were not Arthit's best friend. The older guy really loved sleeping in. But they still had school today so he would have to do the inevitable.

Dropping a light kiss on Arthit's forehead, he gradually extricated himself from his tight grip. This earned a few more groans from the sleeping figure and Kongpob hurriedly stuffed his pillow into his arms and watched Arthit nestle comfortably against it.

The younger boy washed up quickly and headed over to the kitchen where he picked up their usual breakfast that was already sitting out, ready for them. The other servants of the household had happily wished him happy birthday along the way and Kongpob groused inwardly as he watched them hustle about in preparation. He wanted nothing more than to be left alone with Arthit but clearly, that was not going to happen.

Stepping back into the room, he set their food down onto his table and shuffled back to the bed where the elder still laid fast asleep. Gently leaning over Arthit, Kongpob blew softly at his sensitive ears. At a young age, Kongpob very quickly found that this was the fastest and most effective way to wake Arthit up. It was also the only way that didn't get him punched in the guts.

"Oon, it's seven thirty, you have to wake up."

"Hnng.." a hand flew to rub the ear that was quickly turning pink.

"Oon, we're going to be late," Kongpob reiterated, with another puff to his ear.

"Five more minutes.."

"Oon, you have to get up now or I'm going to have my way with you." Kongpob cheekily licked his ear to emphasize his point.

Arthit's eyes flew open as he scrambled slightly to sit up, hitting Kongpob with the very same pillow he had used to replace himself.

"Get your brain out of the gutter!" He flustered, face turning as red as his ear. He sat there for a few minutes, trying to properly wake his brain up with Kongpob laughing beside him.

As Arthit scuffled down his breakfast while hastily trying to pack his notes into his bag, he caught Kongpob staring at him from the corner of his eye.

"What?" he managed to say without spitting out the chinese donut he had been stuffing his face with.

"Nothing, I'm just happy." Kongpob smiled widely at him, "so very happy."

"Why, cause you're legal now?" Arthit teased, coming to his side as he finally gathered his things that were lying around the room.

"Because I can finally do this anytime I want." And before Arthit could clarify what Kongpob had meant by that, a smooch landed on his cheek with a resounding smack.

"Kongpob!" he stared at him flabbergasted as he held his cheek that was positively burning now. However, before Arthit could say another word, the younger guy had caught him by the waist and was now sucking at his lips gently. From the point that their lips met, Arthit's brain ceased function and he gave into Kongpob's ministrations, responding to them with an equally fervent need.
