A/N:

I was trying to keep this book innocent, without any mature scene. But I couldn't. The least I can do is write it lightly.

Please skip this if you are under 18 years old.

And if you think love is too easy for them, then I hope you encounter the love of your dream, with a perfect person, flowers, candles, white horses, and most importantly, a real one.

(you may skip it, it's not that interesting anyway. I just wanted to share)

I never had love with flowers and all. I don't know how it works. And I don't really care. The man I love brought banana the first time I decided to introduce him to my entire family. He said, with a proud smile, "I picked it my self from my backyard. The tree fell over me, but I did it." (For you all who don't know how to harvest banana, we cut the tree because it won't produce another banana on the same tree).

Yeah. He is an engineer but sometimes he acts like a farmer, a cook, a truck driver, and simply a stupid elementary kid. And no, he never bought me flowers, but he stopped by at the cake shop on the way home from his work, out of town, to buy me our 6th wedding anniversary tiramisu cake. My son blew the candle out of it because he thought it is his birthday cake which is not supposed to be happening until the next six months.

He didn't confess, we just let it escalate from friends to best friends, friends with benefits, and then lovers (I am not sure)... and somehow we bought a house together (I don't know why did I even agree to that) and then his parents proposed to me a year later, without him even asking me first, and now we are married with a son.

Forth continues to pull Beam's jeans and boxer further down.

Beam is pushing Forth's too as they kiss. He growls as their lengths touch even before they take off their T-shirts.

As Forth takes care of their lengths, Beam rakes his fingers over Forth's body and pulls off the T-shirt. He has to push Forth a little to make him stop eating his lips while he struggles to take off his own T-shirt in a lying position.

Forth growls from one-second lack of skin to skin contact. He looks at Beam in hunger.

Beam smirks. "... hm?"

Forth smirks back at him. And then he trails his lips further down. He works on Beam's length while at the same time he opens a different route in Beam's body for him.

It's new for Beam but he takes it well when Forth penetrates his manhood into his virgin ass with just raw preparation. It sends pain that follows with pleasure a little while after.

Forth delivers himself to Beam's ass, alright. He can't even wait to move to bed that is just two feet from the couch.

Beam moans and jerks off along with Forth's harsh pounding that follows after. He can't do much in this cramped couch. He just learns how to take the beast inside him.

"...fff... fuck...!" Beam curses into Forth's mouth when his length starts to twitch.

Forth claws on Beam's thighs while at the same time he is holding up Beam's knee while fastening his pounding. It holds their position and prevents Beam from falling from the couch.

Forth licks his upper lip and enjoys the beautiful mess beneath him. "Call my name, gorgeous..." he hisses.

Beam's eyes flutter when he moans it.

"... P'Forth...."

Forth leans down to drop a peck on his lips. "You're sweet, N'Beam..." he says softly but his pounding gets harsher.

Beam scratches Forth over his half wing tattoo on his left back when he reaches his first orgasm.

"That's one, boy," Forth whispers in his husky voice.

"Forth, where are you?" Lam puts on a cold anger towards Forth through the phone.

Forth holds his phone with his left hand to his left ear when his right fingers are raking in Beam's hair They just woke up from their nap on Saturday afternoon after the long breakfast they had and now Beam is busy down there.

"... home. What's up?" Forth says.

"What do you mean WHAT'S UPP!!?? You fucking-ASKED me to set up a barbeque party at Park's place!!"

Forth is facepalming himself. He totally forgot!! And then he nearly moans because Beam is fastening his sucking.

Beam even claws on Forth's inner thighs with his ten fingers.

Forth gulps noticing Beam's angry glare.

"Cut it off," Beam hisses.

"Lam, sorry. Say hi to the Craz-Docs and their boyfriends for me. I'll pay the expense. Have fun." Forth closes the call.

Lam gasps. He can't believe Forth did this to him!!!

Beam frowns. "What was that?" He crawls up to Forth.

Forth caresses Beam's cheek and pecks his lips. "Remember the drinking invitation from Phana that I missed last night?"

Beam nods.

"I asked Lam to make it up by inviting him, you all, to a barbeque party today, right now."

Beam frowns. "Why?"

Forth pecks Beam's lips again. "I was not ready to see you with girls again... after this ForthBeam thing went around. I didn't want to destroy my loving-you-in-silence plan but on the other side, I wanted to see you. So... no drinking party, no bar... but barbeque works."

Beam squints his eyes. "Why I didn't hear about this?"

"I forget it myself and..."

Beam's phone is ringing. He gets his phone on the nightstand without getting off from Forth's body. "Yes, Pha?"

Forth is nuzzling on Beam's neck as Beam is taking Pha's call. His fingers play with Beam's entrance to check whether it's okay to put himself back in.

"Didn't you get my message?" Phana asks.

"What message?" Beam holds onto Forth's shoulder tighter when he feels being penetrated again with what was in his mouth earlier.

"Forth invited us for a barbeque at the trio's house," Phana says. "I texted you last night."

Beam moans into Forth's mouth not to make Phana hear it. And then he returns to the phone call. "Yeah? Sorry. I was not aware of my phone. I was... busy."

"Kit and I are here already. Just catch up. Okay?"

Beam grits his teeth because he is very close to moaning. "Nah... I'm... having fun myself. You just have fun. Say hi to the boys on my behalf." He cuts the call and throws his phone away.

Phana calls him again but Beam ignores it. He is busy.

Very busy...

*

It becomes the worst barbeque possible. The table is split into two groups. The Craz-Docs plus their boyfriends and the Eng-boys.

Phana and Park share glares most of the time.

Wayo and Lam change glances because they are so close to hugging their boyfriends so that they do not start killing each other.

Ming keeps himself busy by grilling the meat.

Kit decides to follow him, away from the battlefield.

Tul walks away to make more lemon squash.

Max decides that he better help Tul slicing lemons than being in the middle of this cold war.

"Tul..." Max is slicing the lemons and opens up the conversation with Tul.

"Hmm...?" Tul is getting the ice cubes.

"Do you still have your milestone plan in check...?" Max asks as if it's nothing.

Tul talked about it once during their third year of high school, his milestone plan. A plan from his early 20's plan which includes falling in love with the woman of his dreams to his late 50's by when he would have grandchildren after he travels around the world with her and their kids.

Tul blinks. "What plan?"

"Uhm..." Max gulps. He is not sure how he can say it. "...about having a nice job and meeting with the wom..."

"I stopped making plans since a long time ago," Tul cuts it. "I lost my notes somewhere and don't remember the details."

Max blinks. His movement of slicing the lemon stops. He gulps and carefully looks at Tul.

Tul is busy putting the lemon in the pitcher. Then he puts the melted sugar, the ice cube and...

"... what if we make plans together...?" Max suddenly says and makes Tul's movements stop.

Tul turns his attention to Max. "Hm...?"

Max looks at Tul right into his eyes. "Park was... saying about moving out to Lam's place before graduating. And... uhm... I kinda like this house." He gulps. "... and even... if you are a Geologist somewhere out in the world, you... still need a place to go home, right? You can't go home to your parents' forever."

Tul blinks.

Max gulps again. "I... think I can make it, you know... get a decent job, good enough to pay mortgage." He coughs. "Even... if... if... I can't afford to buy this rented house yet... uhm.... I think I can... with a smaller house."

Tul has said nothing so far.

"My grade is getting better and I... even managed to get my internship in the Umbrella Corp along with Forth and Park. Different departments but still a promising chance to get permanent after graduation. And... uhm..."

Tul blinks.

"... you can... uhm... change the plan on the way if it doesn't suit or satisfy you." Max closes his offer. "How... about... that...?"

Tul slowly smiles and then nods. "Sounds perfect."

Max slowly smiles too. "... yeah...?"

Tul nods.

"You sure...?"

Tul chuckles. He nods.

"Can I arrange a wedding in between...?" Max asks carefully.

Tul nods again. "Of course."

Max smiles wider. "Thanks."

Tul chuckles. He leans closer to Max and pecks his lips.

Max bites his lips happily.

Park and Phana who were glaring at each other put their attention to Max and Tul.

"Are they a thing now?" Phana asks Park. The thing between Max and Tul was always biased and unclear.

"Yeah," Park says. "Finally a thing."

Wayo and Lam share a stare.

"Maybe we should congratulate them," Lam says.

"You should too, P'Pha," Wayo adds.

Ming updates in SOTUS 1234. When ParkLam became official, someone announced it. When MaxTul is too, someone has to deliver the news before blood gets scattered. "Congratulations P'Max, P'Tul. May you both be happy together."

And then Ming leads Kit back to the table since the tension between Phana and Park has lessened.

Max and Tul get back too with the lemon squash.

Park taps on Max's shoulder.

Lam just smiles at Tul.

And the others try not to throw up because the two are looking too sweet right now.

"I can't believe Forth forgot his own barbeque party," Lam sighs. "I will charge him double because of this. He is not attending Pha's drinking party and reasoned with this and yet he forgets about this!"

"Yeah... Beam has not read his text since last night. He is not coming too."

"I guess it's good for them then," Tul suddenly says.

Everyone turn to Tul.

"Beam was asking about Forth's place last night before leaving," Tul says.

Everyone is waiting for Tul to continue. But Tul starts pouring the lemon squash. "Lemon squash, anyone?" He offers.

Even Max demands explanation from Tul.

"Tul, say it..." Lam asks.

Tul blinks. "Say what?"

Park turns to Max. "Max, for once, please, can I have the permission to hit Tul?"

"No."

"Ah!" Wayo suddenly screams with a big smile on his face.

Now everyone turns to Wayo.

"What is it?"

Wayo shows the post on Forth's IG.

Time post is in the early today, in the morning.

It's Beam picture in close up.

Just showing his face and his right hand which is covering his smiling mouth—a smile that is reaching his eyes. And, there is a leather bracelet on his wrist. It looks worn out.

The caption reads,

"Good morning, N'Beam..."
