MYMOON, Chapter 26:
The small figure lugged the massive bouquet and laid it on the sofa, staring at it briefly before shaking his head lightly. It didn’t seem right to just leave it there like that.
Klai had already moved the bouquet several times. Normally, he only received small bouquets, so he’d never had to deal with storage issues before.
His almond-shaped eyes scanned the room again, searching for a suitable spot to place the oversized bouquet. When his gaze landed on the chair by the work desk, a smile began to spread across his face. His slender arms wrapped around the bouquet, and he carried it over to set it upright on the chair. He smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
This is perfect… the best spot.
After arranging the bouquet Panli had given him to celebrate performing music with the seniors at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Klai went to shower, feeling sticky from the day. He took his time bathing, emerging with the fresh scent of soap lingering in the room.
While toweling his damp hair, the small figure walked over to grab his phone, which was lying idly on the bed, to check it. There were LINE messages from his two close friends on the screen, but no texts or missed calls from the person he was waiting for. Klai pursed his lips, worrying about Panli. After agreeing to let him stay over at the condo tonight, they had parted ways since Panli needed to run errands and grab clothes from home. So, Klai had decided to give him the spare condo key card.
Counting the time since we parted until now, Klai thought Panli had been quiet for too long. Normally, he’d be messaging him constantly on LINE. If he was really busy, he’d call instead. Klai tossed the damp towel into the wicker basket before dialing Panli.
Clunk!
While waiting for the call to connect, Klai heard a sound like a large door outside closing. He quickly hung up and opened the bedroom door to check. A warm breath of relief escaped his lips when he saw the tall figure, carrying a familiar helmet, step into the room. But today, he was also holding a branded leather bag.
“I was just calling you, Panli. You’ve been too quiet for too long.”
“I was rushing to finish some work so I could come see you sooner, KhunKlai…” he said, placing the helmet and the leather bag, likely containing clothes, on the desk.
At first, Klai thought he wouldn’t feel anything about Panli staying over, since they’d been alone together plenty of times before. But when the tall man turned and flashed him a smile, he realized he was wrong.
A little nervous, huh…
Because this pup has way too many tricks.
Not sure how much he could handle him…
But Klai also thought… in the future, they might have to live together, and there’d be no avoiding sharing a bed. So he should start getting used to it early.
Panli walked over, wrapping both arms around him and pulling him close. He tightened the hug, then leaned down, pressing his nose to Klai’s cheek with a loud smooch.
“You smell so good…” he said softly, giving a sly look. “What soap does you use?”
“Bath & Body Works…”
“If I use it… will I smell as good as you?”
Klai smiled, wrinkling his nose at him. “I don’t know… you will have to try it and let me sniff to see if you smell the same.”
The tall man chuckled in his throat, still not letting him go. Panli nuzzled his nose against Klai’s left cheek, then the right, alternating sides. Klai thought Panli was getting revenge for being sniffed on the cheek in front of the Fine Arts building.
But it feels like Panli’s getting way too much revenge…
Klai had wanted to say this truth for a long time… He believed everyone should love themselves before loving others, and of course, that’s how it should be. But there are probably only a few people who make us feel like we love ourselves even more.
But Klai… he loved himself more when he was with Panli. He loved himself more every day because Panli made a shy person like him bolder in expressing himself, braver in sharing his true feelings, and daring to follow his heart. Klai never felt forced or like his identity was being swallowed up.
And one more important thing is…
Panli gave him the courage to love again.
Kiss
“If tomorrow I feels sore on my cheeks… I will blame you, puppy.”
Panli laughed heartily, then bit his lip as if holding back a grin. “Then… should we switch from cheeks to somewhere else?”
“The sofa…” Klai said, nodding toward the long sofa. “Switching from cheeks to the sofa might be better.”
“I’m scared now… no more kisses then. The puppy doesn’t want to sleep on the sofa.”
Klai chuckled softly before asking, “Has the puppy eaten anything yet?”
“I ate already. Before coming here, Mom made me something.”
Klai nodded slightly, then said, “But you haven’t showered yet, right?”
“Right… I was planning to shower with KhunKlai.”
“Hey, puppy!”
The taller man laughed gleefully before saying, “But KhunKlai probably saw through me and showered first.”
Panli’s words made him blush with embarrassment. Klai knew that when their relationship fully blossomed into one of lovers, they might share a deeper connection someday. He’d have time to prepare for that day. But Klai forgot to consider that before that time came, he’d need to brace himself for Panli’s teasing, slightly naughty remarks. He understood that couples often shared playful banter like this, so he didn’t see Panli as crude—just that Klai wasn’t used to it yet.
Hearing it so directly for the first time made him shy like this,;_
He didn’t even know how to respond…
Klai stood quietly, letting the taller man hug him, before saying,
“Well… Panli, go shower first, then we’ll talk.”
“Okay…” Panli loosened his embrace and walked to the desk. He rummaged through a black leather bag, pulling something out before returning to Klai with a neatly folded stack of white shirts. “Brought you some shirts.”
“…”
Klai’s almond-shaped eyes shifted to the several shirts stacked in
Panli’s hands. “New collection from the shop?”
“Not a new collection from the shop.”
“…”
“But this collection belongs only to you.”
“You mean…”
“I mean I designed and had them made just for you to wear.”
Klai reached for the folded shirt and unfolded it to take a look. A sweet smile appeared on his gentle face when he saw the embroidered design of a small white bunny lying on a crescent moon near the left chest. But in the next moment, his slender brows furrowed slightly as he noticed the full size of the shirt. “Panli… is this your size?”
“Yeah… I picked this size because I wanted you to wear it to sleep.”
“…” The listener glanced up at the tall figure standing there with a subtle smile.
“If you wear this shirt to sleep… you’d probably look super cute.”
Klai couldn’t help but smile. He shook his head lightly before saying,
“Guess I’m not cute in your eyes right now, huh…”
“No way… that’s not what I meant.”
“…”
The big puppy hurriedly placed the shirt in his hands back on the nearby shelf and pulled Klai into a hug. He rested his chin on Klai’s shoulder, speaking in a coaxing tone.
“What I meant was… you’re already super cute, and if you wear the shirt I got you, you’d be even cuter.”
“…” Klai let out a soft laugh.
“Laughing like that… you get it now, right?”
“Oh… I understood from the start, just wanted to tease the puppy.”
“Ugh…”
The big puppy let out a dramatic sigh before pulling away from the hug. “I’m out here loving you, and I shouldn’t have fallen for your trick.”
Klai burst into laughter at the big puppy’s words. The other scrunched his nose at him, as if saying, “I’m sulking now,” before turning back to grab something from his leather bag. This time, he returned with a gray towel draped over his shoulder and a set of pajamas in his hand.
“Is the bathroom in your bedroom?”
“Yeah, yeah…” Klai said, leading the tall figure into the bedroom. He figured Panli already knew where the bathroom was but was being polite by not entering his bedroom without permission.
“I’m gonna sneak some of your soap, and I’ll come out quick so you can sniff me.”
Klai laughed and nodded enthusiastically. “Okay.”
Klai watched the tall figure disappear into the bathroom. Once the door closed tightly and he heard the faint sound of the lock from inside, he shifted his gaze to the shirt in his hands. Klai decided to take off the tshirt he was wearing and slipped on the shirt instead.
His slender hands buttoned it up only to mid-chest, as he usually left the top few buttons undone when wearing shirts. He glanced down at the hem, which hung just past his thighs. Still, it wasn’t long enough to cover the shorts he was wearing.
The faint, fabric-softener-like scent told Klai that Panli had washed the shirt for him. It was clear Panli had prepared thoroughly, likely eager to see him wear it. Refusing might disappoint the big pup, so Klai decided to indulge him for the night. He tossed the T-shirt piled on the floor into a wicker basket and stepped out to wait for Panli on the balcony. Tilting his head, he gazed at the crescent moon shining vividly against the dark sky. The atmosphere reminded him of times he secretly watched “Sasim” from afar, confiding his feelings to the moon every night and occasionally sending messages through that same moon.
Fresh from the bathroom, Panli scanned the white bedroom for its owner, his eyes catching on someone in a white shirt standing on the balcony. A faint smile spread across his face as he strode toward the figure.
But Klaijai, engrossed in the moon above, didn’t notice his surroundings. Panli slipped his arms around the smaller figure from behind, asking, “Looking at the moon?”
The small figure, enveloped in a fresh, fragrant scent, flinched slightly. His sweet face broke into an endearing smile, and Panli nuzzled his nose into the soft cheek.
Smack~
Klaijai let out a soft laugh before replying, “Yeah… I’m looking at the moon.”
“Which moon does you like more?” Panli asked, pointing at the crescent moon in the dark sky. He loosened his embrace, gently turning the smaller figure to face him. “…This moon, or that one?”
“Can I like them equally?”
“Sure… but one of the moons might get jealous.”
Klaijai laughed before saying, “Then I’ll like them equally, because I want to see certain moons get jealous.”
“You little rascal…”
Even now, Klaijai remained exceptional in Panli’s eyes. He knew exactly how to tease to get a reaction, how to charm, and he was the only one who could read Panli so well.
The smaller figure gave a faint smile as their eyes met, but the smile soon faded like dissipating mist. His thin lips pressed together slightly, and within moments, Klaijai’s eyes began to tremble. Though his nervousness was evident, he didn’t break eye contact even for a second. This told Panli that he was mustering immense courage to say something.
“Panli, I have something to tell you…”
Panli sensed it was time for Klaijai to share what was on his mind, and he hadn’t expected to feel this way himself at this moment. In the split second before Klaijai could speak, Panli made a decision.
“Before you say anything… can I tell you my story first?”
“…”
“In case what I share changes what you want to say…”
The beautiful eyes Panli adored so much trembled even more. He knew instantly that the other was deeply worried. But Panli had already decided to speak. Though the secret he’d kept wasn’t grave, and the reason for hiding it wasn’t unforgivable, he felt it was time.
But for some people, they have their own boundaries and timelines. If something hidden exceeds the emotional limits of the other person, it’s not surprising that they might lose trust. The one keeping the secret might not feel the passage of time as long, but for the one who just learned the truth, the experience of time is different. So it’s not strange if the other person loses faith in them.
But in the end… Panli was confident that Klaijai would listen to his story and reasons with understanding.
Because that’s how Klaijai always is…
“Mhm, Panli, you can start. I’m always ready to listen to you…” And Klaijai would probably always be like this.
Panli took a deep breath, filling his lungs. He had never imagined this day, though he’d vaguely thought confessing the truth wouldn’t be too hard. But now that the moment had arrived… he realized it wasn’t easy at all.
His thick arms loosely wrapped around the slim waist before Panli began to speak. “Before we met at the birthday party, before I got to know KhunKlai…”
“…”
“I had seen you before…” Klaijai’s expression wasn’t too far from what he’d expected. His slender eyes widened in a way Panli rarely saw, and his pink lips parted slightly as if he wanted to ask something. But the shock of what he heard seemed to swallow his voice. Panli didn’t hesitate and quickly continued, “I saw you at the exhibition hall, looking at the photo ‘Lost in the Moon’s Shadow.’”
“…”
“You smiled and gave a thumbs-up to my photo…”
Panli smiled softly as he saw the person in front of him lower their eyes, cheeks flushing faintly red, and a slender hand reaching up to rub their own ear. “Back then, I kind of knew you were Phii Dom’s cousin, because Phii Fah had pointed you out to me once.”
“…”
“But it wasn’t because of this reason that I went out of my way to get to know you… I don’t even know why I wanted to get to know you so badly.”
“…”
“Back then, we almost did… we almost got to know each other,” Panli said, his eyes meeting Klaijai’s. “But then my phone rang and interrupted, so I had to step outside to take the call. When I came back into the room, you were gone.”
“…”
“Back then, I just felt… like it was such a damn shame we didn’t get to connect.”
“…”
“But I had to let it go…”
The eyes Panli so dearly loved gazed at him unwaveringly, as if wanting to capture every moment from now on without missing a single second.
“…”
“But you know, KhunKlai? Even after days passed, I couldn’t shake that feeling.”
“…”
“I still felt it… still wanted to get to know KhunKlai like that.”
Klaijai’s thin lips pressed into a straight line as Panli spoke those words.
“I even waited for KhunKlai outside the exhibition room, hoping we’d cross paths again, but we didn’t…”
“…”
“When I smoked at the parking lot, I kept looking out for KhunKlai, just in case you’d walk by.”
“…”
“Honestly, back then, I didn’t even realize it was what Klai would call longing.”
“…”
“I knew if I went to Phii Dom, I’d definitely get to know KhunKlai.”
“…”
“But because I still didn’t realize it, I didn’t go to Phii Dom. I thought I just wanted to get to know you casually… not like I was trying to pursue anything. I was afraid Phii Dom would think that’s what I was doing.”
“…”
“So I chose to wait to run into you myself.”
“…”
“Up until your birthday… Theerak called to invite me.”
“He said it was Phii Dom’s younger brother’s birthday… so I figured it had to be you.”
“That was the day I learned your name was ‘Klai.’”
“…”
“I decided to go to your birthday party… I was both excited and…”
Panli paused as the vivid feelings from that day touched his heart again.
He smiled at Klaijai, who was listening intently, before continuing, “…and my heart was racing. I was barely myself, but I tried to keep it together.”
“…”
“When our eyes met… that’s when I knew I’d fallen in love with you.”
“…”
“It might seem like I fell too easily, but because it was this easy… that’s why I believe it’s real love.”
“…”
“But that day, I didn’t just realize I’d fallen for you. I also learned something else…” Panli smiled, a smile mixed with the joy and pain of discovering the truth that day. “When I got up to get water and was alone with Phii Dom, he told me you had been secretly crushing on me for a while.”
Klaijai’s almond-shaped eyes widened again, his expression a mix of shock and confusion. Panli understood exactly how he felt. He gave a reassuring smile to the other, who was trying to process everything.
Panli continued recounting the events. He told Klaijai about how Kant had spilled the secret after Phii Dom interrogated him, about confessing and opening up to Phii Dom at the condo, about learning he was the one who saved Klaijai from that incident, about secretly watching Klaijai too, about being the one who left milk and bread for him every Wednesday morning, and finally, about how he couldn’t help but confront Thot in the presentation room, which led to learning that Merk was planning to come back for Klaijai again. That was why he ended up getting into it with Merk.
Panli did his best to convey every story and every feeling to Klaijai completely. With every second he spoke, Klaijai’s expression shifted, though it was almost always tinged with surprise. Even at the final moment of his story, Klaijai still looked slightly shocked and confused.
“That’s all the stuff I struggled to tell you, KhunKlai…”
“…”
“That’s everything. I’m not hiding anything from you anymore,
KhunKlai.”
“…”
Seeing the surprised expression turn calm, Panli decided to continue,
“I’m not asking you to understand everything about me.”
“…”
“You don’t need to try to understand why I asked Phii Dom to keep this a secret.”
“…”
“You don’t need to understand anything at all…”
“…”
“But I only ask… if Panli ever accidentally does something to upset KhunKlai, or makes KhunKlai feel bad…”
“…”
“Please forgive him a little… not completely, just as much as your heart can manage.”
“…”
“That’s all I ask…”
At that moment, Klaijai’s almond-shaped eyes glistened with more tears than usual. And in just a fraction of a second… Panli could no longer read his emotions, as the feelings usually clear in his gaze were obscured by a veil of tears.
“KhunKlai…”
When Panli called his name, that veil of tears broke, and clear droplets streamed down both cheeks. Panli admitted to himself that he was so shaken he could barely keep his composure. But then his heart raced as a sweet smile appeared.
Those same eyes began to sparkle as if filled with countless stars. A slender hand reached up to cradle his face, and Klaijai began to speak…
“How could I not forgive you Panli?”
“…”
“Even though you deliberately hid everything, despite knowing the truth.”
“…”
“But I shouldn’t even be angry with you.”
“…”
“Because how many people would go to such lengths for me… and there aren’t many who’d choose to start over like someone with a crush.”
“…”
“Panli said he didn’t want to take advantage of Klai’s feelings by approaching him too easily, knowing that Klai already liked him.”
“…”
“There’s no need to try to understand this reason at all.”
“…”
“And when you said… you wanted us to take it slow, we really have been like that all along.”
Every word from Klaijai stirred a whirlwind of emotions in his heart. A massive wave of feelings gathered into a heavy knot in the left side of his chest. Panli felt so overwhelmed he couldn’t speak. All he could do was raise a hand to wipe the tear stains from the smooth cheek. Klaijai sniffled lightly, offering a sweet, gentle smile before continuing…
“But there’s one thing that doesn’t seem quite true…”
Panli furrowed his brows slightly, his thoughts racing. “What’s that?”
“When you said… you wanted us to slowly build our feelings until they were equal, that’s not really true.”
“…”
“Because it feels like we’re always competing.”
“…”
“Competing to see who can love the other more.”
“…”
“Right now, I don’t know if you love me more, or if I loves you more…” Klaijai laughed through his tears, then added, “…because we both love each other so, so much, don’t we?”
Panli, listening, gave a soft smile and nodded lightly. His eyes burned as he saw Klaijai smiling despite the tears. All this time, he hadn’t known how many times the person he loved so deeply had cried, or how much pain each of those moments brought. But this time, Klaijai’s tears seemed to be distilled from overwhelming happiness.
Panli leaned closer to the smaller man, tightening his arms around Klaijai. He rested his chin on the other’s shoulder, gently rubbing the slender back.
“I love you Klaijai.”
“Uh, mmh…” Klaijai responded, pausing as if trying to steady his trembling voice.
“…”
“I love you Panli too.”
The smaller man replied, returning the embrace. Panli loosened the hug slightly, slipping both arms loosely around the slim waist as usual. The two gazed into each other’s eyes for a long moment before Panli asked…
“So, what does you want to tell me?”
The one asked laughed softly. “You already said it all for me.”
“…”
“At first, I was going to confess how long I’ve secretly liked you Panli.”
“…”
“But I guess I don’t need to say it now… and I already said ‘I love you’ just earlier.” Panli smiled.
“But there’s something else I want to say…”
“What is it? Is you going to say the puppy is the best boyfriend in the world?”
Klaijai burst out laughing, shaking his head in denial. “Not at all.”
“…”
“I want to say… thank you, Panli. Thank you for everything.”
“…”
“I never thought something like this would happen to me. Never really thought it, honestly… even now, I still can’t believe it.”
“If you said I was going to get his heart broken by someone else again, that’d be more believable…” Klaijai said with a chuckle, but Panli knew it was his dark humor. Klaijai met his gaze before continuing, “…but you made me believe that all of this is real. Everything is true.”
“…”
“Thank you, Panli.”
Panli smiled and nodded before saying, “Can we trade the thanks for a promotion to boyfriend status?”
“…”
“Didn’t you say… it wouldn’t even take twenty-four hours?”
“…”
“Then puppy’s definitely becoming Klaijai’s boyfriend today.”
“…”
Panli furrowed his brows slightly and bit his lip when he saw the smaller man grinning widely. “Is the little rascal bluffing?”
“…”
“If you’re bluffing, your cheeks are gonna be sore for real… I’m warning you.”
The one being scolded laughed before saying, “I wasn’t kidding… At first, I planned to confess my feelings and then jump straight to being boyfriends.”
“…”
“But…”
“That’s it… I hate the word ‘but,’” Panli admitted he was acting childish. “That word always ruins things.”
Klaijai laughed delightedly, his slender hands moving to cradle Panli’s face before saying, “Hey, don’t fuss yet… listen to me first.” Soft, mushy, and melting to the floor.
That’s Panli’s heart.
“For now, I will promote you to ‘special someone’ first… As for the final step—”
“…”
“I want to make it special. You’ve done so much for me—how could I just let you skip to the end so easily?”
“…”
Panli still had his brows furrowed tightly before asking, “So, what can a ‘special someone’ do? Can I be more jealous than before?”
“You can… You can do everything a boyfriend can.”
Klai said, laughing while looking at the big puppy throwing a tantrum over his broken promise. But as his sentence ended, a sly smile appeared on that devilishly handsome face. The once-tame puppy’s gaze turned dangerously heart-stopping. Klai swallowed hard as Panli leaned in closer. He pulled his hands from cradling the other’s face, letting them rest by his sides again.
“Then… I’ll just…”
The tall figure spoke while tightening his embrace. Klai noticed their noses lightly brushing, warm breath grazing his lips. His almond-shaped eyes flicked to the well-shaped lips of the other, and at that moment, Panli leaned in even closer.
Klai’s heart raced as Panli pressed a gentle kiss to his lips. A large hand moved to cradle his face, and his pale eyelids slowly closed as warm lips deepened the kiss.
Klai kissed back tentatively, as someone experiencing their first kiss. But with a skilled guide like Panli, the first kiss wasn’t bad at all. Their lips pressed together seamlessly, leaving no gap. Klai let the other claim his lips for a long moment before Panli pulled back slowly, as if reluctant to let the night end.
Klai’s heart pounded harder as he met Moon’s gaze. He pursed his lips to suppress a smile. The tall figure chuckled before leaning down to kiss him again. This time, Panli kissed more intensely, leaving Klai breathless.
A large hand slipped under his shirt, touching his skin. His body went weak as the hand caressed his back. In the next moment, he was lifted off the ground. Klai wrapped both arms around the thick neck and hooked his legs around the slim waist, clinging for support.
Klai tried to pull his lips away to catch his breath. Panli, giving him a moment to rest, murmured something while carrying him into the bedroom.
“Klaijai… can we kiss a bit more?”
His heart raced at the sound of Panli’s husky voice. Klai didn’t respond, but he let those curved lips press against his once more. He never imagined that after one kiss…
The next ones…
“Mmm…”
Would be nearly impossible to stop.
“Hhhm…”
“I can’t breathe…”
But that… depended on the person he was kissing.
Yes… the desire depended on the one giving the kiss.
The taller figure laid Klai on the bed and straddled him. Klai pressed his lips tightly together as he met those long, almond-shaped eyes. Gone was the gentle gaze of the loyal pup; now, only the cunning look of the charming Panli remained.
“Two-minute break enough?”
Klai admitted he wanted to keep kissing, but his heart, pounding like a drum, begged for a pause—it was almost too much. “Didn’t you say you’d say ‘I love you’ all night?”
“…”
“I never said I’d kiss you all night.”
“…”
“You didn’t say it beforehand… so you can’t do it.”
Panli burst out laughing before saying, “Well, here it is… my way of saying ‘I love you.’”
“Nonsense… the pup’s making things up.”
“Not nonsense…” Panli leaned down, planting a quick kiss on his lips before adding, “Two minutes are up.”
“…”
“Ready yet?”
Klai shook his head vigorously. “Hmph! Not ready.”
“…”
“Can I have five minutes?” he asked, holding up all five fingers.
Panli laughed heartily before saying, “Not ready doesn’t mean no… just need a five-minute break.”
“…”
“You naughty thing…” Panli said, chuckling.
“Pup!”
“Okay, okay… pup won’t tease anymore.”
“Five minutes to catch your breath or to cool off from blushing?”
“Panli!”
The one straddling him laughed with delight. Panli tried to stifle his own laughter before saying, “I know full well you want to keep kissing. Just needs a break from blushing, that’s all. And still, I tease…”
Klai felt his face burn. He pointed a finger at the man above him, scolding with a stern voice, “Enough! You’re done! No more… go sleep on the couch, pup!”
Panli’s smile vanished instantly. He pursed his lips, leaned down, and nuzzled his nose against Klai’s cheek multiple times, his sharp nose brushing affectionately. “No way… don’t make your pup sleep on the couch.”
“It’s because you’re such a tease, pup…”
The one now nuzzling into the crook of his neck chuckled softly, mumbling, “No more teasing…”
Klai let out a quiet sigh, closing his eyes. He was scolding himself for always going soft on this overgrown pup. A slender hand swatted at the thick arm.
“Stop it… no need to act all clingy, pup.”
“Is you still mad?”
Klai sighed again as the big pup looked up, meeting his eyes with a pitiful gaze. “…Fine, I’m not mad anymore.”
The pup broke into a bright smile, his sad eyes instantly sparkling.
“It’s been five minutes now…”
“Pup… are our clocks not synced or what?”
Panli burst out laughing, then put on a pleading look. “KhunKlai~… don’t scold me.”
Klai smiled softly, gazing at the man above him. He never imagined Panli could be this adorable, and he couldn’t believe he was seeing this cute side of him.
If he had to be jealous of someone in this world… Right now, Klai would be jealous of himself.
Because Klai has ‘Panli’ all to himself.
As the two of them locked eyes for a long moment amidst the creeping silence in the spacious room, Panli leaned down to place a soft kiss. His light-colored eyelids slowly closed as the kiss deepened, their lips pressing and moving against each other.
A large hand caressed his thigh, slipping beneath the fabric to touch bare skin. The sensation sent a wave of heat through Klai’s body. Panli’s other hand cradled his cheek before pulling back slightly to let him catch his breath. Klai quickly gulped in air, meeting the eyes of the man above him. Not long after, Panli leaned in for another kiss.
If he had to describe the taste of Panli’s kiss, Klai could only say… it wasn’t like sweet candy at all. The kiss was fiery, spiking his body temperature rapidly. The passionate kisses Panli gave left him feeling ablaze with heat.
Every touch from Panli was like fuel, reigniting a smoldering feeling deep within him. Klai thought that if they continued to deepen their connection like this, the desire he rarely let surface would slowly consume him.
Knowing he couldn’t resist the other’s fiery passion, Klai placed a hand on Panli’s firm chest to signal him to stop. But even as he waved the white flag, surrendering in this battle on the bed, Panli didn’t retreat.
Those well-shaped lips slowly pulled away from the kiss, moving down to press against his neck. Klai bit his lip as a dull ache pulsed in his core. He unconsciously tilted his head back slightly as Panli’s lips trailed to his shoulder. One slender hand instinctively reached up to grip the nape of the man above him.
“Ah, mm…”
Klai let out a muffled sound as the tension in his core grew stronger. Of course, he’d felt this before—some movie scenes were steamy enough to stir a young man like him. But Klai always managed to control his urges, never giving in to relieve those feelings.
It seemed his protesting sound had an effect, as the man above him stopped nuzzling his neck and looked up to meet his eyes. Panli’s heavy breathing was audible, and he spoke in a soft voice…
“Once we start kissing on the bed, it just keeps going…”
“…”
“I think I’d better stop… before it goes too far.”
“…”
“It’s not time yet, right? You’re not ready, KhunKlai.”
The big puppy’s words doused Klai’s burning desire, replacing it with fondness for the man struggling to restrain himself. Klai pursed his lips to suppress a smile as he saw Panli bite his lip and let out a sigh.
Panli leaned down to press one more kiss to his lips before climbing off him. Klai immediately sat up, free at last. He looked at Panli, now sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbing his face as if trying to clear the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
Klai couldn’t help but feel for the big puppy trying so hard to hold back. He scooted over to sit beside him. Panli turned to look at him, then reached out with both hands to rebutton Klai’s shirt, which had come undone. Klai thought Panli’s touch was incredibly gentle—he hadn’t even noticed when his buttons were undone.
“Sorry…”
“It’s okay, puppy.”
Right now, the big puppy looked guilty and confused, focusing intently on buttoning up Klai’s shirt. Klai used both hands to gently lift the other’s face, making their eyes meet. He decided to say something to Panli, even though it made his face flush with embarrassment. But Klai thought it was worth saying to help them understand each other’s feelings better.
With something like this…
He was still shy, of course.
But Klai figured he’d get used to it eventually…
“Panli… that was my first real kiss, you know.”
“…”
“I think it’s because of you that I felt my kiss wasn’t so bad… Even if it was my first time, it was pretty decent, right?”
Panli chuckled in his throat before nodding lightly. “Not bad at all…
You’re a fast learner.”
Klai pursed his lips slightly before saying, “That’s why I think…
whether I’m ready or not, it doesn’t really depend on me. It depends on you, Pan.”
“…”
“Because you make me feel…”
“…”
“I’m not against it, you know. If we were to… do that.” Klai gave a smile to Panli, who was staring at him, before continuing, “But please let me prepare a bit more, okay…”
As he finished speaking, Klai leaned in close to that devilishly handsome face, gently pressing his lips to the other’s well-shaped ones. Their lips moved together slowly, as if trying to stretch the moment as long as possible. Klai pulled back softly and smiled at the other.
“A comforting kiss.”
But Panli’s longing gaze made Klai purse his lips tightly. It seemed his kiss didn’t soothe the other but instead made him suffer even more.
“…Can we go a bit further than a kiss?”
“…”
“When I’m the one starting, it’s not too bad. But when you start, and then stops like this…”
“…”
“It’s torture, my heart’s breaking.”
Truthfully… Klai felt the same as Panli. It’s just that, having no experience with bedroom matters, restraining himself was probably easier for him. But for the other, who seemed to have some experience already…
It must be another thing altogether…
Klai pursed his lips, deep in thought, before deciding to speak. “Do I have to take responsibility then? For making you suffer even more?” “Well… yes, actually,” Panli replied.
“Then can you tell me how far this will go? So I can be sure I can handle it… and we won’t have to stop halfway like this again. I don’t want Panli to feel bad.”
Panli smirked, leaning closer to Klai’s ear. His lips grazed the area teasingly before he whispered huskily, “I’m not taking you to the moon just yet.”
“…”
“You will definitely be able to handle it.”
Panli’s words were like flames scorching both of Klai’s cheeks. He pressed his lips together, meeting Panli’s gaze, before nodding. “Mmm… okay, I’m fine with that.”
The big pup, now fully transformed into a cunning wolf, flashed a sly smile. Klai bit his lip as Panli stared at him with a flirtatious look. It had been a while since he’d seen those eyes, and unable to withstand the intensity, Klai averted his gaze.
In the next moment, Panli stood to his full height. Klai looked up at the tall figure pulling off his white T-shirt. He swallowed hard at the sight of the strong, defined muscles of his abdomen. But Panli didn’t remove his long pajama pants. Klai’s eyes dropped lower, noticing a bulge straining against the fabric.
The taller figure leaned down, scooping Klai up with both arms and carrying him to sit at the headboard. Klai leaned back against it, watching as Panli began unbuttoning his shirt one by one.
“Panli…”
“Scared?”
Klai shook his head, speaking his true feelings. “Not scared…”
“Excited?”
“Mmm… my heart’s racing so fast.”
Panli chuckled softly. “That’s how it is the first time. You’ll get used to it.”
“…”
“Lift your hips a bit, darling. I’ll take off your pants…”
Klai hesitated to lift his hips, wanting to mentally prepare first. Normally, he was very shy and quite protective of his body. He’d never let anyone see him bare before. Perhaps because he was taking too long to steel himself, Panli shifted his gaze from the shorts and looked up at him instead.
“Feeling shy too?”
“Mhm… I have never been naked in front of anyone.”
Panli chuckled softly before saying, “You don’t have to be shy with me.”
Klai didn’t respond. He met Panli’s gaze for a brief moment before looking away, then leaned down to press a kiss to the center of his body. The warm breath and gentle touch against his skin stirred something dormant within Panli, awakening it. Klai pursed his lips as he glanced at the center of his body, now pressing against the fabric.
“…”
“Why isn’t this little rascal shy at all down here?”
“…”
“Just a light kiss from me, and it’s already eager to come out…”
“Puppy!”
Being completely bare in front of Panli was no longer embarrassing, because the playful, teasing words from him made Klai feel even more flustered.
Okay… Klai knew Panli was playful.
But he didn’t expect him to be this playful, even in bed.
“Lift your hips a bit…”
This time, Klai obediently raised his hips. He closed his eyes to brace himself. When he felt the pants slip past his ankles, he opened his eyes again, and the sight before him made him want to escape reality.
He bit his lip while looking at his fully erect center. Panli let out a soft laugh, his hands moving to remove the last remaining shirt on Klai’s body. Klai was about to close his legs, but Panli reached out to hold them, spreading them even wider.
“Puppy…” Panli called out, swallowing hard as he moved closer to Klai.
“If you’re sitting… you need to spread your legs wide like this.”
“Should I lie down then?”
“I’m going to use my mouth… sitting like this is perfect.”
Panli took Klai’s hand and held it, then lightly kissed the back of it. He positioned himself between Klai’s legs. Klai looked up at the man kneeling before him. Panli leaned down to kiss his lips, and the two began to kiss deeply and passionately once more.
But this kiss was different from the others. The other’s wet tongue began to explore his mouth, and Klai’s lips parted to welcome the hot tongue that swept through every corner. The unfamiliar sensation made Klai’s heart race even faster.
Before everything started, Klai admitted he was full of worry. But once the spark ignited again, he knew instantly that the flames would blaze fiercely, raging until they were nearly impossible to extinguish.
Panli slowly pulled away from the kiss, and it was at this moment that Klai met the gaze of a predatory wolf—not the tame, innocent eyes of an overgrown puppy. The handsome, wicked face smirked, causing his heart to skip a beat.
“I love you Klai…” he said, pressing a kiss to his neck before sliding his lips lower.
Klai bit his lip as he watched Panli scatter kisses across his body. The man trailed his hot lips to sensitive spots, his thick tongue lapping at the hardened peaks of his chest. Klai let out a startled cry when sharp teeth grazed that area forcefully.
“Panli…”
“Ah! P-Panli…”
“…”
“Gently, please.”
The scolded man glanced up, chuckling softly. “This is as gentle as it gets…”
I’m done for.
Klai was absolutely done for.
Panli flashed a sly smile before pulling back from between his legs. Kneeling, he leaned down to press his lips against his skin again. His warm lips roamed across his body. Klai’s hand lightly brushed the golden blonde hair, and then its owner sucked at the skin of his abdomen, leaving a mark.
“Mine alone…” he murmured, kissing the bruise.
Klai’s stomach tensed as the other’s warm breath grazed him. He whispered, “Possessive.”
Panli looked up with a faint smile before kissing the center of his torso. He chuckled in his throat when he saw Klai bite his lip to suppress his emotions.
In the next moment, two strong hands moved to spread his legs even wider. Holding his thighs firmly in place, Panli kept them steady. Klai’s hand gently caressed the back of the man’s thick hands.
“I am already yours alone.”
“…”
“But please, have some mercy on me.”
“…”
“Don’t make my heart race any faster…”
Klai couldn’t guess the response from the wicked smile on that handsome face. Panli said nothing, only bit his lip and leaned down to kiss the center of his body. The sound of the “smack” made Klai blush with embarrassment.
“Puppy… didn’t you hear what I asked?”
“Listen… I’m listening.”
“…”
“But can I not follow your request?”
“…”
“You can’t stop me from teasing you KhunKlai…”
“You little puppy!”
The scolded person laughed heartily before shifting their gaze away from him and pressing their lips to the inner flesh. Klai bit his own lip until it hurt, then felt a sharp pang in his core, growing more intense.
“Pah, Panli, ah,!, ughhh…”
Klai let out a trembling moan as his midsection was suddenly engulfed. His slender hands instinctively gripped the strong ones locking his legs in place. A shiver ran through his body as the other began to move slowly, deliberately.
“Mmm…”
“Ah!, N-no… ughhh…”
He could barely breathe as Panli fully claimed the searing heat, drawing from base to tip. The act was repeated several times, and Klai bit his lip to stifle his cries. But the other, glancing up while moving their head up and down, began to quicken the pace.
“Ah, ughhh…”
It was at this moment that Klai let out a loud moan. Having succeeded in teasing him, the other slowed back to a languid rhythm. Klai lowered his eyes to his own chest, heaving violently. He moved one hand to the other’s head, his slender fingers threading into soft hair.
His delicate face tilted upward, gasping for air, but no matter how much he inhaled, it wasn’t enough. He felt like he might suffocate soon.
A heat from nowhere surged from his toes to his abdomen, then spread through his entire body. His graceful fingers dug harder into the back of the strong hand as he sensed something building at his tip.
Klai’s mind was in chaos like never before. His body felt as if it were being consumed by fire, and an overwhelming sensation made him arch his body, pushing the searing heat deeper into the warm cavity.
The owner of the slender hands, clutching golden blonde hair, panted heavily. Klai’s throat felt parched as he watched the head moving rapidly up and down. Soon, he felt something on the verge of release.
“P-puppy!, I-I’m, close, ah, ughhh…”
He signaled Panli to pull away, but the other ignored him completely, continuing to move their lips slowly until Klai’s body tensed, shuddered, and released a flood of liquid.
“Pah, Panli, ah!, ah!, ahhh…”
Suddenly, the chaotic mind turned completely white. Klai felt as if he were floating in an empty world. The slender hand that had unconsciously gripped the golden blonde hair slowly loosened, and when he released the other hand from the thick one, Klai realized he had left nail marks on the back of the other’s hand.
Panli pulled his lips away from the middle of his body and wiped the traces of fluid from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, making Klai aware that Panli had swallowed all of his essence. Panli straightened up, kneeling, before moving to position himself between his legs again. Still panting, Klai looked up at the other.
Panli smirked, leaned down, and pressed a kiss to his lips, before saying softly, “Feeling light, aren’t you, naughty?”
Panli’s words made his face flush even hotter. Klai pursed his lips to suppress a smile, before muttering, “Uh, yeah…”
“…”
“I have never felt this good before.”
“Same… never felt this good before.” A large hand slid up to gently cradle his smooth cheek. “Even though I’m the one doing it…”
“Panli… have you ever done this…”
“Never. Never done this for anyone before… only had others do it for me.”
Klai gave a faint smile, then said, “Can I rewind time then?”
Panli laughed heartily. “Sure… you can be jealous retroactively. I want you to be super jealous.”
“I wouldn’t dare be too jealous. I’m afraid you would get bored.”
The taller man laughed and sat down on the edge of the bed, then pulled him to straddle his strong lap. Klai swallowed hard and lowered his eyes to his own bare body. He sighed softly, reassuring himself that…
Klaijai…
You’ll get used to it. No need to be shy…
“Still shy, huh?”
“Uh, yeah… a little.”
Panli chuckled, then said, “So damn cute…”
“Puppy, you shouldn’t be shy… but you aren’t completely naked like me here.”
“True, true. Being completely naked is fine. I’m not shy.”
“…”
“But I didn’t take off my pants because I’m ready to do something else… you don’t just want to do this… so I’ve got to keep it in my pants for now.”
Klai fell silent, locking eyes with Panli. He furrowed his brows slightly as something hard pressed against his backside. Biting his lip lightly, Klai pointed a finger at the other.
“Is this yours, puppy?”
“See… I told you it’s ready for something else.”
Klai shook his head lightly, a faint smile on his face. He couldn’t believe he could feel both embarrassed and amused in this situation. Panli had pushed Klai past many of his limits. He still remembered Panli’s words clearly: “With me, you have to break every rule.” And
Panli had indeed made him break every rule he’d ever set for himself.
Until this moment…
“So… how does I need to help you, Panli?”
“…”
Something Klai never thought he’d go this far with.
If he was already breaking every rule,
“Does I need to use his mouth to help you too?” Then he might as well go all the way.
Go as far as the moon…
“Klaijai… don’t drive me crazy.”
Klai burst out laughing. Though Panli teased about how ready certain parts were for action, Klai knew he was just joking. If Panli really wanted to go further… he would’ve done it already.
And Klai also knew that Panli didn’t expect him to use his mouth or hands to help. Panli would handle everything himself, probably thinking Klai was too shy to try. If Panli asked for his help, it might feel like he was forcing him.
“I admit honestly… I’m still a bit shy.”
“…”
“But it’s not like I’m so shy I can’t do it.”
“…”
“When people love each other, besides sharing their feelings… they also have to be fair to each other.”
“…”
“You do it for me… so I should do it for you too.”
“Klai…” Panli said, staring at him. “…Can you really do it?”
Klai pursed his lips and nodded eagerly. “I can do it…”
“…”
“But it’s Klai’s first time… so don’t expect too much, Panli.”
Panli burst out laughing before saying, “With you… it’s always beyond expectations.”
Klai pursed his lips to suppress a smile, then wrapped both arms around the man’s thick neck. He took a deep breath before asking…
“So, how should I start…?”
“I think just using your hands might be enough, Klai.”
“Why’s that?”
“You’ve never used your mouth before… it might be too difficult.” “Then what makes you feel better?”
“Look at your questions…”
Klai laughed before saying, “I’m asking seriously… not teasing.”
Panli lowered his gaze, his large hands moving to knead Klai’s hips.
“…It’s gotta be the mouth, obviously.”
“Then… I will try.”
“Just your hands are fine, Klai. No need to trouble yourself.”
Klai scrunched his nose at the other man before saying, “I won’t listen to you, just like you didn’t listen to me.”
“…”
“I will be as naughty as you call me.”
“…”
“Get ready, puppy…”
“Whoa… those words, Klaijai, I really can’t handle this. I’m not joking at all.”
Klai chuckled softly. He playfully nipped at the tip of the other’s sharp nose, and Panli retaliated by nibbling at the tip of his chin. The two of them laughed as we teased each other, before locking eyes for several minutes. Then, a heartfelt sentence echoed in our minds and was spoken aloud…
“I love you so much.”
“I love you even more…”
“How much more?”
“More than you, more than me… more than both of us combined.”
Klai broke into a smile and shook his head lightly. “I give up… Klai really can’t compete.”
“No need to give up, because you won me over at the birthday party.”
“…”
“I lost to you back then…”
Klai gave a small smile and kissed the other’s lips.
Kiss…
“Go ahead, Klaijai… charm me until I die in your arms.”
Klai laughed heartily. “…”
“Got you… I love it when I can make you lose your cool.”
Panli looked at him with a sly gaze before saying, “But who knows… if we go another round, Klaijai might be the one to lose this time.”
“You’re underestimating me too much.”
“Then let’s see if I’m underestimating or just mistaken.”
As soon as the words were out, Panli’s hands gripped his hips, lifting himself to his full height. Klai quickly wrapped his legs around the other’s slim waist, hooking them tightly. Panli bit his lip with a mischievous glint, then carried him into the bathroom.
“Are we doing it in the bathroom this time, Panli?”
“Yup, we can shower again right after we’re done.”
“…”
“Let me take off my pants first, okay?”
Klai nodded slightly, loosening his arms from around the thick neck as his feet touched the floor. He walked into the glass-walled shower to wait. Not long after, the taller man followed, completely naked.
Klai’s almond-shaped eyes blinked rapidly as he stared at the other’s impressive size. He swallowed hard, audibly, when he saw the midsection of Panli, which was several times larger than his own. Klai thought… his couldn’t even compare. He averted his gaze from the towering erection to collect himself, because just eyeing it, he doubted he could take it all in his mouth.
Too much…
Didn’t expect it to be this big…
Panli let out a laugh when he noticed the smaller man sneaking glances between his own body and Panli’s. This was another reason he hesitated to take off his pants and reveal himself to Klaijai—he knew it would startle him. And it seemed his guess was spot-on.
He stepped closer to the smaller man, who was trying to flash a sweet smile. Panli leaned down to kiss the faintly red lips, his eyes roaming over the slender, smooth, porcelain-like body. He admitted to himself that he was captivated by every part of Klaijai’s body—the flat stomach, the narrow waist, the firm, rounded hips.
Every part.
He loved every part of Klaijai…
“You can still change your mind, you know.”
“…”
“If I change my mind… I’ll just give you a bath.”
“No… Klai isn’t changing his mind.”
The smaller man shook his head in refusal. Klaijai pursed his lips before wrapping both arms around Panli’s neck. Panli gazed deeply into the other’s eyes. At first, there was a hint of worry in Klaijai’s expression, but as soon as he responded, that worry transformed into determination.
Panli slid both hands to grip the rounded hips, then leaned down to kiss the smaller man again. He didn’t know what Klaijai thought his kisses tasted like, but to him, Klaijai’s kisses were like marshmallows— soft, gentle, and sweetly fragrant.
Klaijai probably didn’t realize how addictive his kisses were. Once tasted, it was impossible to stop. Panli nearly lost his mind trying to restrain himself when all he wanted was to devour Klaijai entirely.
The smaller man slowly pulled back from the kiss, revealing a gentle smile before pressing his lips to Panli’s chest, trailing kisses down to his toned abs. Panli’s gaze followed the smaller man as he peppered kisses across his body.
His breathing grew heavier as he watched Klai slowly trail his lips downward. Panli bit his lip when the smaller figure knelt before him and looked up, their eyes meeting. He swallowed hard, his throat dry, before gently lifting Klai’s chin with his hand.
His thumb lightly brushed against Klai’s faintly red lips. Those glistening eyes stared at him unwaveringly. Panli thought that no matter how much he prepared himself, Klai would still be the death of him.
“I…” he called out to the one gently nibbling the tip of his finger.
“Yes… my good boy.”
Panli bit his lip harder, his jaw clenching as a slender hand gripped his heated flesh. The smaller figure gazed at him briefly before pressing his lips to the tip.
At that moment, Panli felt a warm trickle from that spot. Klai teased the tip against his own lips. Panli closed his eyes slowly, letting out a low groan in his throat before speaking in a hoarse voice…
“Klai… don’t do this.”
Panli opened his eyes when he heard the soft laughter of the smaller figure, who had successfully teased him back. He realized he shouldn’t have been so “naughty” with Klai, because when Klai retaliated…
Klai showed no mercy to anyone.
“I won’t follow requests…”
And no one would escape alive.
“My good boy… don’t tease me too much, or I won’t be able to hold back.”
The little rascal looked up at him with a faint smile. His thin lips parted slowly, taking Panli in bit by bit. The sight made Panli lose all sense of control. He clenched his jaw tighter to suppress the surging desire.
“Mmm…”
Since Klai couldn’t fully take him in with his mouth, he used his hand to hold the rest. Panli wanted to praise his clever student, who was both smart and a quick learner.
But the smaller figure was still clumsy with his mouth, which Panli understood since it was his first time. It would be strange if Klai were already skilled. His thin lips moved up and down with effort. Panli smiled at his determination.
One of his large hands gently stroked Klai’s head. The smaller figure pulled his lips away from Panli’s center and looked up before asking…
“Is… is it okay, Pan?” “You’re doing great.”
The praised one flashed a sweet smile before taking Panli in with his lips again. Panli closed his eyes, tilting his head back to savor every sensation Klai was earnestly giving him.
Klai tried to move with a faster rhythm, but his lack of experience made it less smooth than usual. When Panli sensed the other starting to lose confidence, he gently stroked his head and spoke reassuringly…
“You’re doing so well…”
Encouraged by the praise, the eager one intensified his efforts, sucking hard at the tip, sending shivers of pleasure through Panli’s entire body. Klai pulled his lips away, glancing up at him.
At that moment, Panli could barely hold back. He released the tousled hair and slid his hand down to caress the vibrant red lips, his voice hoarse as he asked…
“Can you keep going a bit more?”
“Sure.”
Panli knew he shouldn’t ask this, especially since it was the other’s first time, but he couldn’t restrain himself any longer. “Klai… can I take over?”
“…”
“But with your mouth…”
“…”
“It’s okay if you can’t. Don’t force yourself.”
“No way I’m backing out.”
Klai replied with a faint smile, his lips enveloping him once more. The smaller man looked up at him, and Panli clenched his jaw, one hand gripping the tousled hair again. He pushed himself deeper into the small, warm mouth before taking control, moving his hips. Panli pulled out almost entirely, then thrust back into the hot, wet cavern.
The soft, moist sensation felt almost like the real thing. Panli let out a guttural growl, cursing under his breath as waves of pleasure hit him…
“Damn it!”
“Mmph…”
He glanced down at his own chest, heaving rapidly. Panli quickened his rhythm, and two slender hands moved to grip his thighs. At that moment, Panli sensed release nearing. He quickly withdrew from the thin lips.
With just a few strokes of his hand, he released, his body trembling as he spilled for the second time when Klai’s lips grazed the tip again.
“Ah, mm…! Aah…”
He leaned down to help the smaller figure stand, both of them panting. Klaijai gave a small smile, wrapping his arms around his neck. Panli lifted him up, kissing him again, slender legs hooking around his waist as always. Klaijai let out a muffled sound in his throat as his back was pressed against the cold tile.
Panli kissed him fiercely, the two of them locked in a long embrace before finally parting lips. He gazed at the smaller figure, both of them panting heavily, equally exhausted.
And we smiled at each other…
“Feeling light, aren’t you, puppy?”
Panli laughed, then said, “With that kind of talk… you’re gonna kill me.”
“Who’s the one trying to kill who here?”
“No way, you don’t talk dirty… let me do it alone.”
When Klaijai said, “kill each other,”
Goddamn… it really felt like he’d die.
When a cute guy talks dirty, the destructive power is unreal.
Klaijai burst out laughing, then said, “I didn’t say anything dirty!”
“Klai…”
“Yes?”
“Earlier… did I ask for too much?”
“Overthinking again, puppy…” Klaijai cupped his face with both hands, gave him a quick kiss, and said, “You asked for too little, even.
Honestly, I want to do even more.”
“This is enough…”
“…”
“This already feels insanely good.”
Panli kissed the faintly red lips and let the smaller man go. He helped Klaijai clean his body from head to toe. The smaller man tried to protest, but Panli insisted, saying…
“Let me do it… look, all that’s left is drying off.”
Klaijai frowned as he stepped out of the shower. He grabbed a towel from the counter to dry the smaller man.
“Panli… you don’t have to dry me. I can do it myself.”
“No way… I finally have someone special, so you have to let me take care of you.”
“…”
“Especially someone like me—you gotta make the most of it.”
“How can I? I don’t want you to get tired.”
Panli smiled faintly while using the towel to pat dry the slender legs, then stood up. “Oh… so you want me to save my energy just for the bed, huh?”
“Sigh~ puppy, you are really naughty,” Klaijai teased.
Panli laughed before saying, “I don’t know… I just know I don’t feel tired at all. It’s probably like what Papa once told me…” Panli spoke while still wiping down the smaller figure.
“…”
“If you’re someone we love, no matter how many things you have to do for them, you won’t feel tired. you’ll feel happy instead.”
“I am so lucky…”
Panli met the other’s gaze. Klaijai grinned widely, his eyes crinkling.
“Lucky to have you all to myself.”
He burst out laughing and pulled the smaller figure into a hug, nuzzling his nose into the sweet-smelling crook of his neck with playful enthusiasm. Klaijai laughed softly and hugged him back.
“Klai…”
“…”
“I love you.”
Klaijai smiled faintly. “It’d be more romantic if you puppy wasn’t naked like this.”
“Ugh… can’t you just overlook that?”
“Okay, okay, I will let it slide.”
“…”
“I love you Panli too.”
“…”
“Loves you so, so, so, so much.”
Panli pulled back from the hug with Klaijai… They gazed into each other’s eyes for a long time.
And shared another kiss.
