A Continuation. PhaMueangxNamNuea

Pha Mueng was never the type to panic or lose his composure. But when Sa Tang came to his house with the bad news, it was like something in Pha Mueng shuts down. It was when Sa Tang called on him and had to snap him out of his stupor of shock.

"What did you say?" It was as if his brain refused to take in the information from Sa Tang. He asked again in hopes that his ears failed him earlier.

"They got Nam Nuea." Sa Tang said, not believing it himself. He's grown to love Nam Nuea as a little brother after what they've gone through. "Jao PhaSinee said he was just there when SaBanga came to attack K'Phu Ping. He was trying to save—"

Sa Tang didn't even get to finish what he was saying when Pha Mueang went past him and ran towards the big house.

As he was running, in his head only one thing that's running, or one person...

Nam Nuea.

"Pha Mueang."

As soon as he arrived, PhaSinee who was sobbing called his name and ran to him. Pha Mueang nodded towards Pheerachak and made his way towards Nam Nuea who was still unconscious and was placed on the sofa in the living room.

Unconsciously, his hands went towards the sleeping male and wrapped them with his own. His mind was so full of Nam Nuea that he didn't even register the people's soft gasp at this action.

"He's okay Pha Mueang. He'll wake up by tomorrow." Pheerachak said, as if trying to sooth him. He nodded but his eyes never left the serene looking male. He lifted his right hand to caress Nam Nuea's cheeks before looking at the doctor they called.

"How is he, doctor?" He asked the older male.

"For now he's doing okay." The doctor answered. "Thankfully the bite wasn't that big and she didn't get to put in the venom a lot, so his transformation is going to be slow. But it's going to be painful." Pha Mueang looked at Nam Nuea before looking at the doctor again. "What can I do, doctor? What can I do to stop it?"

"Pha Mu—" Pheerachak was about to interfere when Pha Mueang stopped him.

"No. I need to try. I can't let him be. I won't let what happened to P'Maeng Man to happen to him too. No. Not him." The people surrounding them can hear how the usually calm and collected Pha Mueng was slowly crumbling down by the way his voice was wavering for Nam Nuea.

Pha Sinee who was standing at the side can only watch as her supposed boyfriend who hadn't even acknowledged her presence since he came earlier was slowly slipping away from her.

"I will check on it." The doctor said before standing up. "I will take my leave now." Pheerachak nodded and took the doctor to the front door.

"I will take him home." Pha Mueang said as his lift Nam Nuea bridal style, gently.

"We prepared a room for him here if—"

"No it's okay. I can look after him. Jao, if the doctor is back, please direct him to my house." Pha Mueng cut off PhaSinee and walked back to his house with Sa Tang behind him.

PhaSinee nodded and watched as Pha Mueang brought Nam Nuea out of the house.

Nam Nuea woke up the next morning feeling dizzy and thirsty, but Pha Mueang was already prepared for when he woke up. He slept in Nam Nuea's room.

The whole night his hands and Nam Nuae's never apart.

"Nam Nuea? You're awake." He softly said, checking on the younger male's temperature. Fortunately it wasn't high. Like the doctor said, Sabanga didn't get to inject a lot of her venom so Nam Nuea wouldn't be feeling a lot, for now.
