SOTUS: Hand over heart

Chapter five

Kongpob was staring at his workshop shirt which was neatly hanged on his wardrobe. The freshman had overdone herself upon returning it. It was washed and ironed Just like he does it and she had even added something that made it smell super nice. It felt good to have someone pay attention to detail that carefully. To be taken care of..Kongpob let out a deep sigh.. Arthit was still giving him the silent treatment. If Kongpob was being honest, he was starting to get irritated. He had made a mistake. Considering Arthit it was a big deal. But shouldn't he be given another chance? He wasn't in his right mind. He was coming down with a fever and he had missed Arthit terribly. His fever still hadn't gone down. He just wanted his boyfriend's love and affection. Was it too much to ask for?

He was about to get something to eat when he had gotten a call from the receptionist saying someone left a package for him. He hurried downstairs. It was a well packed container that seemed to be hot . There was a note pinned to it.

Get well soon P' Kongpob. Heat it up if it's cold.

Chanpen.

Kongpob gritted his teeth. He had a Kongpob that looked like Arthit at his tail.

He went up to his room and opened the container.

The porridge did taste good .

********

A whole week had passed and Kongpob still hadn't reached out to him. Arthit had hit rock bottom. Now the problem was more about their ego than what actually happened. A few times Arthit had given up on the silence and wanted to talk to Kongpob. But he was afraid what to expect. He had been zoning out on his co worker When he was shaken by the shoulder..

" oh for goodness sake N' Arthit stop being a stuck up and send your boyfriend a message so we can all move on from your misery. I can't even swallow my food watching you! "

" but P' he never lets things go this far. He must really hate me right now"

" or he might be thinking you are angry at him and is afraid to reach out. Ego is never a good thing to have in a relationship. Ok let me help. Who was at fault? "

" I'm not sure. We both might have been? "

" see that makes things easier then. Don't think too much. Just send him a message. You can thank me later "

To 0062
How's it going?

Was it too short? Well something is better than nothing he thought.

He had immediately gotten a reply

P' Arthit! Thank god! I thought you were never going to forgive me! I'm so sorry

Arthit smiled at his phone. As usual he had been an idiot and wasted his time.
His coworker was smirking at him

" that is what you call experience, N' "

Arthit was only half listening. He had too much to catch up on with Kongpob.

*********

The week without Arthit's contact was by far the worst week Kongpob had ever had. He was afraid that being away from him had made Arthit change his mind. What if he now realized he didn't like men and only liked women? His bad mood had reflected on the freshman. Especially on a particular freshman who was a look alike of the root cause of his irritation. It was out of his character. He hated prejudice. But since of recent he had been completely out of character. One day at the hazers meeting Aim had finally addressed it

" Ai Kong, I think you should take a few days off of hazing. Besides the flag capturing and initiation isn't that far off. You can relax "

" but why? I don't need to take time off. It's my responsibility "

" basically Kong , you are bullying the kids "

" you are bullying N' Pen is what he is trying to say " Oak piped in. " what is wrong with you ? "

" no I'm not! " Kongpob denied a little too quickly. He knew it was true. But he wasn't going to admit it.

" sort yourself out Kong. You are the head. " Aim said matter of factly.

Kongpob had looked at the floor. He was ashamed. He was miserable. All because he couldn't control his big mouth and had to go upset Arthit. And now he had hurt the look alike who had only been kind to him throughout.

He was reading through old messages with Arthit when he received a text.

Arthit isn't mad at him anymore! Everything was going to be alright.

They were on the usual initiation trip. Kongpob had missed this last year with the recreation team when he was a second year. Coming back to this place had brought back many memories. Memories with Arthit. This is where he had first given the senior his gear as a subtle message. He was looking at the sea reminiscing the time Arthit rushed to the sea to save him thinking he was drowning. He smiled fondly at the memory. He had been burning in jealousy that day. Watching Arthit having fun with the girls. Who knew two years later Arthit would belong to him.

" Do you love the sea that much P' Kongpob ? " a voice he knew a little too well disturbed his trance.

" yes I do. Specially this place "

" why are you here alone? Would you like to join me and my friends for a snack? We aren't drinking just as you asked us " Pen asked in a teasing voice.

Kongpob had laughed. If only Arthit was here to respond to that ! He needed to hear Arthits voice .

" not today N' Pen. You can go ahead. I have something I need to do "

He sat on the beach. And called Arthit. Thank heavens for the technology these days.

" hello P' Arthit? No.. no.. it isn't an emergency. I just missed you and wanted to hear your voice. And I wanted to tell you that I love you "

Arthit had lovingly called him crazy. He didn't care. It's not long until Arthit is going to be back. He couldn't wait to hold him in his arms.

*

Everything around him was slightly blurry. He could see Arthit smiling at him. His Arthit was here! He touched Arthits face lightly . Oh how much he had missed this.

*

Kongpob woke up with a massive hangover. He couldn't even open his eyes. Then he heard something move in his room. At first he had thought it was one of the hazers when he remembered he had gotten a room for himself as the head hazer. His eyes flew open. It was Pen. Who seemed to have come back from a bath. Her hair was wet.

" oh P' Kongpob! You are awake! You must be having a headache. Here, I got you some medicine "

Kongpob was speechless

Why was she in his room?

Why was he naked?
