When the sky is dyed with the colors of the night, a luxury car rushes into the grounds of a grand house and comes to a hurried stop. The driver, dressed in a tailored suit, quickly steps out, clutching a briefcase in both hands, and hastens into the building.
"Ah, has Khun Nong returned?"
"Yes, Auntie Jeab." As soon as he steps inside, an elderly housekeeper dressed in her nighttime attire comes out to greet him. Instead of answering her question, the young man, who holds credentials as an overseas graduate, responds with another question, his demeanor notably anxious—so much so that Aunt Jeab looks at him with a gaze filled with fondness.
When it comes to "Ae," her Khun Nong always drops the persona of the handsome young man admired by all the female employees in the hotel.
Khun Pete has been back from England for over a month now. Although Khun Patchara had suggested he rest for a month or two before beginning work, he insisted on lightening his mother's burden. Thus, he started working in the hotel management line. Naturally, being the only son of the hotel's owner and the beloved grandchild of the Pitchayaworachot family already made him stand out significantly. However, when combined with his appearance and personality... Her Khun Nong is no different from the perfect man so many young women dream of.
It was said that the female staff couldn't take their eyes off him.
At this moment, Khun Nong stands as a tall, slender man who wears a suit with exceptional poise. His handsome face has become even more captivating with eyes that reflect intelligence, gentleness, and sometimes a quiet solemnity. These features harmonize with his strong eyebrows, high-bridged nose, and lips that often curve into a polite smile. Occasionally, he even gives off the aura of a dignified prince. Yet, this handsome prince of many admirers can transform into an anxious young man in the blink of an eye if the matter involves the man named... Inthach.
"He arrived at 9 PM and has been waiting in the living room."
The young, handsome, and muscular engineer who owns this prince's heart—of course, it is Ae.
"Ae's been waiting for me for two hours already?" Upon hearing the response, Pete immediately groaned with guilt, prompting a soft laugh from the listener.
"Believe me, Ae willingly waits for you... Let me go close up the house first," Aunt Jeab says with a slight smile, causing Pete to respond quickly.
"No need, Auntie. I'll close it myself. Please go to bed. You don't have to wait-up for me like this in the future. I don't want you to force yourself to stay up late too, Auntie," Pitchaya says, his tone full of guilt, which makes Aunt Jeab smile fondly.
"Force myself? Not at all, Khun Nong. Even your Khun Mother works late regularly, and I've been doing this for decades. Don't worry about me. If I don't see both Khun Patchara and Khun Nong come home, I won't feel at ease. Go now. Ae must be tired of waiting," Aunt Jeab says as she gives him a gentle nudge on the back before stepping away to take care of the front door. Pete thanks her and turns toward the living room, where someone was waiting for him.
Someone who has driven nearly three hours to see him on his day off.
Someone who is now sprawled out on the sofa, visibly exhausted.
The sight makes Pete place all his belongings on the glass table and move to kneel beside the sofa, gazing at the man dressed in casual jeans and a wrinkled shirt, signaling that as soon as his shift ended, he had driven straight to Bangkok.
So tired.
Poor thing.
These thoughts cross Pete's mind as he reaches out to brush aside the short hair, roughened by sun and wind, and lightly touches the sun-weathered face. Gradually, the worry etched on Pitchaya's face throughout the wedding reception he had helped oversee begins to ease.
Just seeing Ae's face brings him happiness beyond words.
It is not just because Ae was more handsome, taller, or better looking than before.
Indeed, the man once ridiculed as short, stocky, dark, and stunted is no longer the same. Now, Ae had grown significantly taller, so much so that he no longer had to tilt his head upward to meet anyone's gaze. His body is stronger and more muscular than before, his sun-kissed skin exuding an air of rugged manliness—a vibe that is casual yet wild, with a hint of raw intensity. Combined with a respectable career, Ae has become an undeniably attractive man.
However, those appearances were not what brought a smile to Pete's face. It was the feeling of simply being near Ae that truly mattered.
Just having Ae here fills Pete with an inexplicable joy.
The thought brings an increasingly wide smile to Pete's face as he gently strokes Ae's weary cheek. Then he steps back, removes his suit jacket, and places it on the glass table before...
Thump.
The tall figure—desired by many women as a potential life partner—climbs onto the large sofa to nestle beside Ae. Both hands wrap snugly around Ae's lean waist as Pete rests his cheek against Ae's firm chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, which fills him with unparalleled peace.
"I wish we could stay like this forever..."
"Are you taking advantage of me in my sleep?"
"Ah!" Pete, who had murmured softly with a faint smile, jolts slightly at the sound of a deep, slightly groggy voice above his head. He quickly looks up to find the sharp-featured man squinting at him, his eyes not yet adjusted to the light.
Yet, Pitchaya no longer blushes shyly as he used to. Instead, he simply smiles broadly and asks playfully, "Would you let me, Ae?"
The listener raises an eyebrow slightly before...
Grab.
"Heh-heh, more than just sneaking a kiss, I can give you that…" Smooch. Ae wraps Pete's still slim and delicate waist in a tight embrace, laughing softly before pressing the tip of his nose to Pete's soft cheek in a big kiss, making him burst out laughing. Two hands press lightly against Ae's broad chest as Pete looks up into the sharp eyes gazing back at him.
"Are you tired, Ae? You know, I can come to visit you in Rayong sometimes," the handsome man suggests while gently stroking the rough cheek, prompting Ae to smile slightly and reach out to clasp that hand, pressing a soft kiss in the middle of the palm.
"I'm not tired. Just seeing your face makes it all go away," Inthach replies with a firm tone, though the rough-spoken man softens as he kisses the center of the palm once more. Gazing at the one he loves most, his heart swells uncontrollably.
"A couple of hours can't compare to the three years we've endured. Even if I have to drive ten hours just to see your face for two or three hours a week, I'll do it, Ai Pete." The tall man's words cause the listener's smile to fade gradually into a soft, faint expression—because he feels the same way.
The past three years teach them so much, including the importance of treasuring the moments they spend together. So, even though Ae works in an industrial estate in Rayong while Pete works in Bangkok, they make a pact to meet every week.
Though Pete can't help but feel that Ae bears the brunt of the inconvenience, always being the one to visit him.
"Don't make that face. I just don't want you to overexert yourself."
"So Ae should be the only one who's tired?"
"Not at all... It's just that you're still adjusting to your new job, aren't you? I don't want you to be distracted by too many things. Let me come to you for now. Once you're settled, I'll happily lounge around waiting for you to come to me." Ae says with a smile, still holding Pete's hand tightly and giving it a gentle squeeze, which makes Pete smile again despite himself.
"And once I'm settled into my job, Ae will just say that you'll have to go home to visit your niece anyway, or that you have errands to run here... Ae's worried and doesn't want me driving long distances." The handsome man's knowing look wipes the smile off Pete's face, confirming that his guess is spot on.
The gesture makes Pitchaya unable to help but laugh aloud.
The pale-skinned man knows well. Since they get back together, Ae pays even more attention to him than before. Although now, he is a fully grown man with nothing to worry about, his partner still treats him as though he is just a first-year student who cannot ride a bicycle, a crybaby. Pete does not feel conflicted about this at all, though.
In front of others, he might be Khun Pitchaya, but in front of Ae, he just wants to be the Ai Pete who only cajoled this one man.
"I hate it when you know me so well." With that, the big man immediately wraps him in a heavy embrace, hugging the tall, slender figure tightly and kissing both cheeks. Pete cannot help but laugh while trying to push him away, but he is unable to... or maybe he does not really want to resist because... this warm embrace makes him not want to leave.
"Enough, enough already, Ae... Ha ha ha, oh, Ae's mustache is rubbing against Pete's cheek... ha ha ha, enough, enough...."
But the more he tries to stop it, the more Ae teases him, rubbing his chin against Pete's neck with increasing intensity, making Pete laugh even harder before his laughter turns into something else.
Kiss.
"Ae... Mmm, don't kiss me." The warm lips, which have been rubbing against his skin, change to press a kiss on his pale neck, gently sucking, making the man who has been laughing so hard stop in his tracks, panting. He lowers his gaze at the man now playing with his skin instead, speaking softly to stop him.
"Not here, Ae."
"My mom went to bed at 10 PM, and I saw Aunt Jeab getting ready to sleep too... just a little more, please." His deep, hoarse voice says this, and the large hand that has been resting on his hip begins to slowly trail down to his soft flesh.
Pete does nothing but hold the other's shoulder, closing his eyes, savoring the tender touches that are slowly sweeping over his neck.
It feels so good.
Knock, knock, knock.
Gasp!
But then, at that moment, a soft knock on the door startles both men, who are lost in their mutual affection for each other. They quickly spring apart, barely in time, and turn to see that the lady of the house is watching them with a smile that is a mix of amusement and affection.
"Uhm, Mom, I'm back," the son says softly, while pretending to adjust his clothes, as the regular guest of the house stands up, feet spread apart, scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"Yes, I see. I wasn't asleep yet, so I thought I'd come down to check..." Khun Patchara lowers her voice slightly, as if hinting that she has seen something just now, while Aunt Jeab giggles beside her, indicating that both adults have witnessed everything clearly.
"Make yourself at home, Ae. You'll stay here tonight. We'll be heading to bed soon." The mother does not mention the previous incident but instead invites the one she sees as her other son, just as she has done regularly over the past month.
Actually, Ae could go up to wait in her son's room, but he still hesitates, choosing to wait until the owner of the room comes back.
"Uhm, yes. I'll go take a shower and sleep, then," Ae immediately responds, grabbing his rugged backpack from beside the sofa as Pete walks over, gathering his suit jacket and briefcase, then goes to hug his mother.
Smack.
"Good night, Mom," the young man kisses her cheek lightly but does not dare to look her in the eye, slightly embarrassed.
Khun Patchara smiles in return.
"Yes, go rest. You must be exhausted." After her words, the two young men head upstairs to the second floor, while the adults look on, their eyes filled with a hint of teasing but also full of affection.
"How wonderful, Khun Patchara. Every time I see those two, I feel so happy that they've come back to love each other like this," Aunt Jeab says with a smile, not at all angry about the boys' careless actions earlier. She only thinks of the joyful smile on her dear Pete's face.
"Same here. I never regret that Pete loves Ae," comes the unspoken question that is never asked.
"Khun Patchara, have you ever thought it would be better if Khun Nong loved a woman...?"
"No," comes the firm answer from Patcharaporn's mouth, and her face, which still retains its beauty, shows a sad smile.
"The fact is that a man loving a woman is not a guarantee of happiness, you know. P'Jeab, you saw how much I suffered in my married life. Therefore, I do not want Pete to feel like he is falling into hell, having to live like that. Even though Ae is a man, I am confident that he will be the one to make Pete happy for the rest of his life. That alone is enough, so there is no need to worry about whether it is a woman or a man. I am even happy that my son has found happiness in the way he chooses," the mother says with a firm and serious tone, making the listener smile faintly.
"Well then, if Ae comes to ask for Khun Nong's hand...?"
The listener pauses for a moment, appearing to think, before turning to respond.
"Then what do you think I should wear to Pete's wedding?" This answer draws laughter from those close by, while the speaker herself chuckles.
Everything she says though... she truly means it.
If these two children decide to marry, she is ready to stand by her son on his wedding day. In fact, she also wants to see that scene as well.
Yes.
~~~
"Ha... eh... hey... I can't take it anymore... Come in... Come in."
Inside the bathroom, Pitchaya's bare body presses against his hands which are placed on the wall and his knees are bracing against the side of the bathtub. Inthach leans over him from behind, his large hand teasing Pete's narrow passage by thrusting his fingers rapidly, leaving the recipient barely able to catch his breath. The handsome face tilts upward, mouth open, releasing moans that echo throughout the spacious room.
"Don't tease me, or I'll hurt you," the big man whispers in Pete's ear, looking at the white skin that is turning pink hungrily. Of course, Ae is more than ready to push his body into the wonderful passage, but a week apart made him have to be patient.
"I'm not teasing... Ah... Huh... Ae, don't use your fingers... like that... Ah, ah... I’m going to... finish..." Pete cries out before he can explain further as the long, slender fingertips press into his sensitive spot inside.
The fingers swirl around, causing Pete's legs to tremble uncontrollably. His breathing becomes rapid, and his legs spread even wider. This alluring image causes the large man behind him to lick up the drops of water on Pete's back.
"Even when you are not teasing me, I am already like this. And if you were to tease me, would I not die, Pete?" Ae says as the one trembling with intense arousal turns to look with eyes glistening with tears, while reaching out to part his own soft folds wider.
"I'm not… teasing… I just want… want… eh…"
"Shit!"
The listener can only curse as he watches the actions of the person in front of him… the pink body covered in water is kneeling and spreading his toes apart. One hand is spreading himself apart to reveal the narrow passage that is squeezing frequently. Not to mention the cute, pinkish part that is brimming with a mix of lubricant and water drops, plus the handsome face that was brimming with tears, making the complete look quite provocative.
Gasp.
Grab!
Swoop.
"Ah...ah...eh...ha..."
Inthach immediately pulls his fingers out and replaces them with his large part that has fully expanded. He rubs it against the tight hole a few times before pushing his body in, until a groan comes out of Pete's swollen lips, while his white hips are pushing up to receive Ae in a position that was extremely provocative to the viewer.
Swoop.
Huff!
As the large shaft pushes in until to the hilt, the person receiving it flinches, but Pete is still the first to move, pulling his hips out and pushing them in, which only increases the arousal of the person who places his hand on the soft hips. The sharp pair of eyes watched the action–that is now yet more provocative–without blinking.
"Ah... ah... sob..." The image of the lover who is pampering him by moving his hips in, the red face turned around, and bit his own lips.
"Eh... Eh, do you like it... good... ah or not..."
"Oh my god!"
Grab.
Curse.
"Ah... eh... sob.... eh... eh..." As soon as the question ends, the big person grabs the white hips and pushes his body in hard, the person asking has no mind to think about anything now, except to let out a moan, tremble, and breath heavily as he tries to stay standing up to receive the heat and hardness that is pounding into his body.
The heat, the hardness that comes in... deep in his heart.
"Good... Pete... very good..." The deep voice whispers.
When pushing the white face back to receive the hot lips that pressed against each other, sucking and pulling the tips of each other's tongues until the sound of flesh hitting flesh is heard, mixed with the sound of saliva exchanging, echoing throughout the bathroom.
Catch.
Inthach manages to grab Pete's hot meat with one hand and moves it together when he feels that his lover is nearing the point where he cannot hold back anymore.
Whew.
Now there is no conversation, only the bodies of the two intertwined, exchanging touches that are intensely passionate. Before the culmination of their emotions come together, their sweet moans echo, and then both... release the drops of their desire completely, amidst the sounds of heavy breathing.
Thud.
"Come here..."
Before Pete can collapse beside the bathtub, the larger figure swiftly gathers the white body and carries it into the warm bath. His rough hands position his lover to sit against him, pulling the slender waist close. His warm lips gently press against the damp temple.
"I will surely die in your embrace someday for sure," Inthach murmurs softly at the cuteness of the person in his arms, causing the listener to smile faintly and lean his head on Ae's shoulder, even though his chest still heaves up and down.
"I'm not that much, really."
"Like this, I call it 'that much'... Why have you gotten so much better at this, Pete?"
The dark-skinned young man narrows his eyes slightly, looking at the person whose mere heavy breathing entices him so much, until the handsome young man turns to make eye contact, knowing the other is jealous, and he willingly responds.
"I've never been involved with anyone else, but the reason I do this is because I want you to feel really good, so much that you can't be without me, Ae," Pete answers directly and so seriously that the listener is momentarily stunned before laughing quietly.
Thud.
"I can't be without you, Pete... I'll never be able to be without you again," Ae admits that he feels good that the person in his arms wants to bind him, even though before he never dared to feel jealous at all, because he himself also wants to keep Pete to himself.
"And you...?"
The question is one that makes Pitchaya turn to make eye contact with the other, then spins around to sit facing him. Then he is the one to snuggle up in the strong embrace, even whispering softly.
"I've never been able to be without Ae for as long as I can remember."
The cute gesture makes the listener's heart race, unable to help but smile as he leans down to lightly kiss the sweet mouth.
Who would believe that the Pitchaya from before would turn into such a clingy man when with him like this?
"Ae… uh… it's… hard again..." And the closeness they are sharing now makes the fair-skinned person notice something clearly, so he reaches out to check, and it is exactly as he thought. Something that has just been released is beginning to harden again.
Kiss.
"Because you say such cute things," Inthach whispers, not ashamed to admit that just a few words from his partner make him want him this much.
"That's why...you better take responsibility, Ai Pete," the deep voice whispers softly as he pulls the much slimmer body into a tight embrace, making the listener bury his face in the dark neck as he murmurs.
"Yes."
And so, their passion ignites once again, fitting for the fact that they hadn't seen each other all week.
~~~
"I think I'm going to buy a condo."
"Huh? A condo?"
After finishing the shower, the short hand of the clock moves into a new day as Pete is drying his hair in front of the mirror, while the other is half-sitting, half-lying on the bed, bringing up this topic with a serious expression, causing the listener to look over, confused.
"Not right now. Right now I still have the car loan. It's a good thing that P'Oh paid half as a graduation gift, but I think in about a year, maybe two, no, maybe three, I want to buy a house or a condo," Ae continues.
Pete immediately sets the hair dryer down, rubs his already dry hair, and then crawls up onto the bed to meet the gaze of the person who has lifted his head.
"Then where will you buy it, Ae? Here, or around Rayong?"
"Here, of course. Because you're here."
"Huh?" The listener freezes, looking at the person who is wearing a serious expression while speaking.
"I don't plan to live in Rayong permanently, but because the salary here starts well, it's hard work, but OT makes it worth it. Also, when you were not around, I didn't want to spend my time doing anything other than work. It's been almost a year and a half now, and my senior who's close to me invited me to work with him. The salary will go up, but it's a shame I'm not good at languages; otherwise, the income could be even better," the storyteller sighs deeply, making the person sitting on his lap ask in curiosity.
"What about the house?" The listener looks up, meeting the other's eyes fully, and reaches out to tuck a strand of hair behind his ear.
"Your house and mine."
Pete pauses, staring at the big man in front of him, then sees Ae smiling.
"This car is second-hand, costing less than 400,000. P'Oh paid half, and I've been paying the rest. It'll be paid off in a few more months. So, I've been thinking about a house. I know I might be thinking too big, only working for a year and a half, thinking about taking on a big loan, but I want to have a house or a condo for when I return to Bangkok..." Ae goes silent for a moment before continuing.
"A place where I can be with you."
The listener can only stay silent, staring at the person who is envisioning a future... a future that includes him.
"But you don't need to buy one. Hey, you can just come stay here," this time, the listener makes a troubled face.
"I feel bad about Khun Mother, Phii, and I also feel bad for Aunt Jeab. If any day I come back to Bangkok at midnight, or one or two in the morning, they would have to open the door and let me in. Then you know, when I come back, I want to see you first."
Pete feels his face heat up and his eyes tear up as he hears the deep voice speak seriously.
"And if you told me to stay at your hotel, I could manage a few times, but I don't want anyone to say that I'm just leeching off of you. Mom might not say anything, but I want her to see that I can take care of you. I also have my own assets to guarantee that I can take care of you… Ai Pete." The large hand reaches to hold his white hand, touching the ring on the left ring finger as he speaks firmly, almost like making a promise.
"Right now, I may just be a poor engineer, earning a little, but wait for me. I'll be better, I'll work harder, I'll earn more. I'll do everything so that everyone will see that you didn't make a mistake in choosing to love someone like me." The listener can only smile, even though his eyes are red, and it seems like tears were about to fall.
"Ae, do you know... Ae has never changed." Pete said softly as he tightened his grip on the large hand, making it more secure.
No matter how many years pass, Ae is always the man who made him fall in love.
The straightforward man, full of effort, the one who always says he would do everything for him, protect him, walk beside him, and now, Ae is talking about a future with the two of them, a future to move forward together.
"Is that good?" The large hand reached up to touch the cheek, making the listener smile widely.
"Not good... not good at all... You make me love you even more, Ae."
Thud.
"Then this is good, right? Loving me a lot is good." At that moment, the large man pulls him by the neck and draws him in, causing the person in pajamas to fall onto his chest, while laughter echoes, and Pete smiles from his heart.
"Heh."
"What's up?" The person who is holding him tightly responds.
"When you decide to buy a house or a condo... Will you let me help with the cost?" The one asking hesitates to ask this question because he is talking about Ae's personal assets, but the deep voice answered immediately.
"Sure, it's our house, after all. Whether you help or not, I want to put both our names as joint owners anyway." The listener looks up and meets his partner's unwavering gaze.
"I want this house to belong to both of us, no one else, just the two of us." That is the best answer Pete has ever heard. He wraps both arms around Ae's waist and lays down on him, rubbing his face gently against his broad chest, feeling the tight embrace in return.
While Pete tells himself in his mind: Do you know that Ae is still the same... his actions always show how much he loves me.
"Ah, it's almost one o'clock, go to sleep. We'll talk tomorrow." Ae says, and the one who has his head resting on Ae's chest nods vigorously but doesn't move to sleep on the pillow. Instead, he drapes his leg over Ae's waist, using him like a body pillow. Then...
Grab.
"Good night." Warm lips gently press against his forehead along with a blessing that makes the receiver feel warm in his heart. He cuddles closer to Ae and murmurs softly.
"Good night too, Ae."
With that, he closes his eyes, even though there are many things he wants to talk about, but he knows Ae is tired from working and driving to see him. One more thing: from now on, we will never be apart again. We'll talk tomorrow, it's not too late.
The thought makes his lips curl up as his mind wanders far, and it wouldn't be strange for him to envision a future with Ae, living together in the same house.
The three years apart might take some time to bridge, but Pete is sure that even if they were apart longer, Ae would not change, just like himself... who has never changed his mind.
