There he goes again, ignoring Kongpob. His colleague, P'Arthit.
Kongpob felt angry, and a little hurt too. Why was he doing this? Does P'Arthit dislike him?
Everything was fine the first few weeks. He would atleast wish Kong, but now, he wouldn't even look.
What did he do? What went wrong?
He sighed, and carried on.
Why did it hurt?
-----------------------------------------------------------
It came as a surprise when Arthit texted him one day.
It was minor and work related. But it still made Kong happy.
After replying, he waited, maybe, P'Arthit would text more.
But disappointingly, he didn't.
But from then onwards, kong made it a point to check his mobile from time to time in case P'Arthit messaged him.
Which he did. Not that frequently. But he did.
Kongpob was not a text person.
And it looked like Arthit was.
Which came out as a surprise.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kongpob was caught off guard, when Arthit suddenly confessed to him.
He had been looking sad and dull for few weeks. And Kongpob so wanted to ask him about it, support him, and maybe hug him too.
But Arthit's ignore mode was on again. He would not only not look at him, but purposely look away.
Which made Kongpob mad, and sad.
And then boom, the confession. He was stunned.
Arthit took his silence as rejection and wordlessly started moving away.
He had almost reached the door when Kongpob snapped out of it.
P'Arthit likes him!!
He ran and grabbed Arthit's arm and pulled him around.
And his heart broke at seeing P'Arthit crying.
"Sshhhh P'Arthit, don't cry. I like you too", be said wiping away the tears.
"Idiot!!", Arthit frowned and pouted. But then grabbed Kongpob's tie and pulled him in for a kiss.
Kongpob smiled.
Well, that was a surprise too.
----------------------------------------------------------
Awkward.
Very awkward.
Was P'Arthit on their first date.
Kongpob could tell sitting in front of him.
Arthit couldn't meet his eyes, and he couldn't eat properly either.
Kongpob could tell.
What happened?
Arthit kept fidgeting and their conversation was next to nil.
They just sat and silently ate their dinner.
As they walked back to their car, Kongpob wondered, what was happening?
He broke out of his reverie, when Arthit grabbed his hand, pulled him to a secluded corner, and kissed him silly.
Wow! That came as another big Surprise for him too.
----------------------------------------------------------
Kongpob recognised the person immediately, when someone backhugged him in the records room.
And no, Arthit had never backhugged him. It was the first time.
Kongpob turned around and hugged him back. Which only made Arthit hug tighter.
"Hey, what happened?", He asked softly.
"Nothing, you just always smell so nice", said Arthit , burying his nose on Kong's neck.
Oh!
Oh! Oh!!
"And...."
"And?"
"I missed you", he mumbled.
Lately Arthit had started opening up slowly.
About his life and his feelings.
About his thoughts and his views.
About everything.
But, very slowly.
But Kongpob was not complaining. Infact, he was loving every moment and everything about his P'Arthit.
Sure, it was not kong's way of going through a relationship.
But it was Arthit's.
And Kong doesn't mind.
Because, it was his way to love.
