Kong groaned as he woke up with a headache. "What a nice day"Kong says sarcastically as he frowned when his head felt like it was going to explode. He slowly sat up and was about to get out of bed when his favorite human being in the entire world had shifted in his sleep to hug him. Kong chuckled as he slowly released himself from the hug. "How do I even handle hazing activities with this"He complained as he went inside the bathroom to take a shower. As he came out of the shower fully dressed in his hazer uniform but his head still wasn't giving him a break. Even after the shower he felt hot all over and he was a little dizzy. He looked at the bed and his boyfriend was still sleeping soundly. He chuckled before walking over to try and wake him up

.

"P'Arthit, please wake up"Kong says, trying to shake him awake. "P'Arthit, you'll be late for work"He tries again. blowing on the other's ear. Arthit slowly shook awake and smiled when he sees his boyfriend's face. "Good morning"He says, sitting up and stretching. "Good morning phi, here,"Kong says, handing him his towel. "Go take a shower, I'll make us a quick breakfast"He says before watching Arthit stand up and sleepily stumble to the shower. He chuckled before making his way downstairs, groaning as his head begins to throb again. He takes a handkerchief and wipes his face, he was sweating a lot today and it was unusually chilly inside. His muscles ached and he was just over-all feeling weak.

He decided against endangering their health with his cooking and ordered mcdonalds take out instead. Even when the food had arrived Arthit still wasn't out of the shower. He prepared the table and their food. On normal days he would be excited to eat the food as they don't always order take out, but today he wasn't feeling particularly hungry. He drank lots of water as he felt dehydrated. "Hey, what are we eating for breakfast?"Arthit asks, emerging from their room in his work clothes and bag slung on his shoulder. "I just ordered take out phi, sorry I feel so weak today"Kong says and Arthit nodded. "I have a very important meeting today, but I'm not going in an empty stomach"He added.

"I-"Kong was cut off by the sudden want to vomit. He rushed to the sink and vommited the food they both had eaten last night. "Kong? Are you okay?"Arthit says, dropping his back and carressing his boyfriend's back as he gave him a glass of water before rinsing the vomit off the sink with faucet water. "Thank you phi"Kong says, drinking the water. "Are you feeling okay?"Arthit says, placing his palm on Kong's forehead before gasping. "Kong! You have a fever! You can't go to school like this"Arthit says, checking Kong's temprature- 39.5 "Let's eat first okay? I'll get the medicine after"Arthit says

Kong forced himself to eat as much as he could. Once they both finished Arthit had given him the medicine. "Come, let's get you on the bed" Arthit says, helping Kong get comfortable on his bed. "Take of your clothes, I'll go get a basin and a handkerchief"Arthit says but Kong stops him. "Phi, you don't have to. You have a meeting right? I'll stay home and rest, I promise"Kong pleaded but Arthit shakes his head. "I'm not leaving you like this, plus do you really think I can focus on work when I know you're here sick and alone?"Arthit says, freeing himself from Kong's grip.

He returned with a basin of water and a handkerchief. Kong had already stipped off his clothes and layed on the bed in his boxers. Arthit wiped the wet cloth over his body to help drop his temperature. After a while, Arthit had placed the handkerchief on Kong's forehead and sat next to him. "But phi I'm totally fine, I need to get to school and you can get to work. It's important"Kong says. "No can do, I already told Aim you wont be going to school today and I dont want to go to work when you're sick either"Arthit argues. "But phi, you've told me countless times how important that meeting was. I'd feel bad if I was the reason you had to skip it"Kong insisted and Arthit groaned.

"You are more important to me than my work okay? I'd skip work any day to take care of you, don't you know that?"Arthit says. "But aren't you tired too? I can take care of myself, I know you're in pain too right? You've been working until late at night these passed few days"Kong says, sitting up but Arthit stopped him. "My pain means nothing if you're hurt. You have no idea how important you are to me, and I have no idea how to explain it to you"Arthit says, helping him lie back down before flipping the handkerchief to the other side.

"I know in my heart that this is what is real in my life. There is nothing more important to me than you, nothing more important than you being okay. I always think about you first, everything else comes second"

Arthit assures him. "I didn't know me being sick would make you this soft"Kong teases and Arthit blushed. "It's only because I love you and you are more important to me than anything else"Arthit says, taking the handkerchief from his boyfriend's forehead before kissing it. He then dips the handkerchief in the water, getting the excess water out and placing it back on Kong's forehead. Minutes later a knock was heard on their door. "Wait here baby, I'll be back"Arthit says, squeezing his lover's hand before going downstairs despite his protest's. Once he got downstairs and opened the door he smiled. "Aw, John! What a...surprise"Arthit greets him, it was a huge surprise.

John is Arthit's co-worker at Ocean Electrics. "Well come in"Arthit says, guiding him inside and leading him to the couch. "Can I get you anything?"Arthit asks and John shakes his head. "I was just wondering why you weren't at the meeting, your secretary told me you had to take care of someone sick. I just came over to make sure it wasn't you"John says and Arthit smiled, he knows John's feelings for him but he never acknowledged them as John's never confessed. "Well, it isn't me. How'd the meeting go?"Arthit asked when Kong was seen emerging from their room, putting a shirt on.

"Who was that phi?"Kong asked as he put on the shirt, then he sees Arthit. "Kong! Didn't I tell you to rest?"Arthit says. "I know, I'll just be getting the kool aid, the water in the basin's gotten warmer already"Kong says, eyeing the stranger on their couch. "Kong, this is John by the way my co-worker"Arthit introduces. "John, this is Kong....he's my um"Arthit looked at Kong who simply smiled sadly before facing his senior's colleague. "Friend, I'm P'Arthit's friend"Kong answers and John simply smiled. Kong turned around and disappeared into the kitchen to find the Kool Aid Fever Patch. "Need help?"Arthit called out. "No thank you phi, I got it"Kong responded.

John mentally scoffed. 'Is this who he skipped work to take care of? An adult?'He thinks to himself, he hated this guy's guts already. "Your friend seems to be so important to you for you to skip work and take care of him"John says, forcing the most genuine-looking smile he could muster. "Well yeah, kid doesn't know how to live his life without me"Arthit says. 'And technically, I don't know how to live my life without him either' a part of his brain tells him. "I get it if it was a normal meeting, but a meeting with the executive directors Arthit?"John questioned, Kong gasped as he exited the kitchen with the unopened fever patch in his hand. "See? Phi I told you, you should have gone to work"Kong says and Arthit sighs

"It doesn't matter now Kong, what's done is done. Just go up and rest okay?"Arthit says, standing up and taking the fever patch before opening it. "When I tell you to rest I mean rest, no phone or anything. Understood?"Arthit says, using his unmistakable head hazer voice before gently applying the fever patch on his "dear friend's" forehead. "Okay fine"Kong says, pouting before hugging his phi. "I love you"He whispers before running upstairs as Arthit blushed. John on the other hand was glaring at the younger, if looks could kill the poor kid would be 8 feet below the ground right now.

Arthit chuckled as he sat back down on the couch opposite his colleague as he watched Kong scramble up the stairs and into their room, winking at him and mouthing an "I love you" before entering. "God, what do I do with him"Arthit says. "When did you meet your friend Arthit?" John asked, Arthit was confused as to why John was suddenly curious about Kong but he answered anyway. "I met him at my university 3 years ago, I was a 3rd year head hazer and he was a freshman in my faculty"Arthit answers, keeping it short because he knows how John would react if he added more details than he did and he would have to lie.

This was Kong's problem with Arthit, the fact that even after 3 years he still wasn't open to telling everyone about their relationship but the latter was thankful the former respected his decision in not telling everyone yet. Though it seemed like it, John on the other hand still doubted that that was it. Even he wouldn't skip a meeting with the executive directors to take care of his sick friend, no matter how sick his friend was. But he knew better than to bombard Arthit with questions, by now he knows Arthit doesn't like being demanded. "Well, are you coming to the office later?"He asked. "I can't say yet. If he gets a little better, I might"Arthit replies, he just doesn't like the thought of leaving a sick Kong alone

"Well, I'll see you later if you decide to show"John says, standing up. "Yeah, sure"Arthit says, walking John outside. He closed the door as John got on his car and drove out and back to the company. Arthit sighed and locked the door before going upstairs to check on Kong, who was sleeping soundly on their bed. "Good boy"Arthit says, walking over to the bed and sitting on it's edge, carressing his lover's hair. Kong's phone beeped, signalling a mesage. Arthit takes it and sees it was from Aim

: So what time are you coming?

"I thought I told him Kong wasn't going to school?"Arthit tells himself as he pressed on it, then he sees Kong had messaged Aim when Arthit went downstairs to open the door.

Kong: How are the activities going?Aim: The activities aren't until this afternoon, but I guess it's fine

Kong: Send me the details okay? I'll follow this afternoon

Aim: Kong, you're sick. P'Arthit already told me you won't be coming, it's all cool here

Kong: I have to Aim, I'm gonna rest today. P'Arthit needs to go to work, I don't want to disturb him anymore

Aim: I'm sure it's alright for him, seriously Kong shouldn't you be thankful P'Arthit decided to stay and take care of you?

Kong: It may be alright for him but not for me Aim, his work is important to him. I don't want to be a hindrance, he's going to get a promotion and if he decides to stay longer to take care of me he's risking that. Just don't worry about me okay? Just send me the details later, I'll tell P'Arthit later after I rest

Aim: Okay sure, but make sure you talk to him okay? I do not want to be questioned by my first-year nightmare ever again.

Kong: Thanks. I promise I'll talk to him

Arthit finished reading until Aim's most recent message appeared, he sighed and looked at Kong who was still sleeping soundly. "Why do you keep thinking you're bothering me? Seriously you will never be a bother"He says, chuckling at his boyfriend's cute behavior. Kong has always wanted the best for Arthit, he was willing to sacrifice everything for Arthit. So Arthit thinks, skipping a day of work wasn't as big as Kong's sacrifices but he was willing to do the same for the boy he loved.

~.~.~.~.~.

Hours later, it was already 11 am and Kong has woken up. Arthit was nowhere to be found, so he checks his temperature- 37.3 "That's good"He tells himself as he removes the already warm fever patch on his forehead before throwing it away. He gets up from the bed and stretches. "I need to go to the univeristy now"He reminds himself as he puts on his hazer uniform. He pocketed his phone and went downstairs to see Arthit, who was shocked to see him. "Why are you wearing your uniform? Didn't I tell you you're not going to school?"Arthit says as Kong goes down the last flight of stairs and walk towards him until they were face to face.

"Phi, I'm better now. I need to go to school, you need to go to work. I'll be fine I promise"Kong says and Arthit sighs, knowing a persistent Kong was hard to control. "Okay fine, but if you feel anything...anything at all, call me okay?"Arthit says and Kong promised to do so. "You're not leaving on an empty stomach, I saved some of the chicken we had earlier, eat something"Arthit demanded as he disappeared into the kitchen and re-appearing with the chicken and a pot of rice. "Here, please eat. I'll be back"Arthit says. Kong began eating his food. Once he finished the threw away the bones and placed it in the dishwasher.Arthit returned in his work clothes and his messenger bag slung on this shoulder.

"You ready to go?"Arthit asked and Kong nodded. "Phi, before we go"Kong says, spreading his arms out wide, to which Arthit simply chuckled at as he dropped his bag on the chair and hugging his boyfriend. "Are you sure you can go?"Arthit asked, not breaking the embrace. "Yes phi, don't worry about me okay?"Kong says, Arthit broke the hug before playfully hitting Kong's arm. "What do you meant don't worry about you?"He glared and Kong simply laughed at him. "I promise I'll be fine, now let's go"Kong says, taking Arthit's hand as well as his bag before dragging them both out of their house. They took a taxi and got in it together. Arthit had insisted they sent Kong off first, Kong sighed but agrees anyway.

"Bye P'Arthit, I love you"Kong says as he opens the door. "Remember, if anything happens, call me"Arthit reminds him and he nodded before getting off the taxi. "Aw Kong, are you sure you're fine?Everyone is already in the assembly hall"Aim, who also just got off the taxi greets him. "Yeah, I think so"Kong answers as they made their way to the assembly hall. Once they arrived everyone really was already there, sitting on the stage's floor while the others remained standing. Once they saw Kong, he was bombarded with "Kong, I get you have a big responsibility but are you sure you're fine?", "Are you sure you can handle this?", "We can do this without you for know". He smiled at his fellow hazer team's concern for him

"Look guys, I appreciate your concern but I swear I'm fine. Now let's start the meeting"

//

The hazing activities had already started, the students were answering a survey the hazing team had made. 30 minutes into the activity Kong's head had began to throb again, he tells Wad about it and rests on the stage's stairs. "Kong, if you need to you can go home. We'll take it from here"May tells him as she gives him a bottle of water. "Thanks, but I'm fine really"Kong replies. "Have you told P'Arthit?"May asks and Kong shakes his head. "He told me to tell him if anything happens but I don't want to disturb his work."He says, May nodds before leaving him alone. He decides to just sit and wait it out.

He couldn't take it anymore so he decides to rest in the nurse's office. "Prae, please tell the rest of them I need to rest"He tells her and she nodded before whispering it to Tew as Kong makes his way down the stairs. He held his head as he felt unsteady and lightheaded. His vision had blurred and his body trembled. The last thing he heard was someone call his name before blacking out. "Ai Kong!"Prae calls out as she runs to her friend. Her hand comes in contact with his skin and she shrieked. "His fever isn't completely gone, his a walking volcano"Prae says while the rest of the hazers had rushed to help.

"I'll take him to the hospital, the clinic is closed today. Aim, you call P'Arthit"Wad says, picking Kong up. "What? No way in hell am I calling my college nightmares"Aim says, but a glare from May made him groan and pick up his phone to call Arthit anyway.

~.~.~.~.~.

"Yes, P'Earth. Thank you"Arthit says when Earth finally transferred Bonus to her desk. Little fish was driving him crazy, it was so cute. A while later his phone rang and it was from Aim

: Aim, what do you want?; Calm down P'Arthit, I don't want to talk to you longer than I have to. It's about Kong: Why? What's wrong; He fainted, his fever came back and Wad's taking him to Bumrungrad Hospital right now: What?!

Arthit's sudden exclamation startled everyone in their office, he apologized before going back on the phone

: When?; Just now Phi, so please come

Aim didn't even let him respond and ended the call just like that. "It's been 3 years and he's still afraid of me"Arthit says before picking up his bag. "P'Earth, please tell Khun Danai I had to go home. My junior's fallen really sick and fainted, I need to get there or else his parents will kill me"Arthit says, Earth nodded before watching him run outside the office. Arthit hails a cab outside and makes his way to the said hospital. Once he arrives he pays the taxi driver before running inside the hospital. "Hello, I'm Arthit Rojnapat. Was a man under the name of Khongpob Sutthiluk brought here?"He tells the woman at the desk

"Yes sir, he was brought here just now. Room 062"She says and Arthit thanks her before running towards the said room, he practically lived in the hospital as he was a sickly kid when he was younger, so he knows his way around his favorite hospital. Once he arrived in the room, everyone was inside and Kong was awake. "P'Arthit? I told you not to call him!"Kong says, eyes widening at the sight of Arthit before glaring at Aim. "We'll leave you both alone"Prae says, patting Kong's shoulder before dragging the guys out of the room. "Thanks Prae"Arthit says and she simply nodded.

"Hehe, Hi P'Arthit" Kong says awkwardly

"Kong, what did I tell you about going to school?"Arthit says, sitting on the chair at the edge of Kong's bed. "I was fine phi, really"Kong says,trying to defend himself. "Fine enough to be sent to the hospital?"Arthit argues, Kong simply sighs knowing in this kind of siuation his older boyfriend always had the upperhand. "Phi please go back to work, the doctors will take care of me just fine"Kong says but Arthit simply glares at him. "Kong, please stop trying to push me away. I want to take care of you"Arthit says, Kong always complained because Arthit wouldn't show affection but now he was trying to do just that-why was he pushing him away? Shouldn't he be happy? "So do I have to get sick for you to show that you care for me?"Kong scoffs

"If you don't want me here I can leave"Arthit says, taking his bag and standing up but Kong grabs his hand. "Please stay"Kong says, Arthit sighs but he stays anyway. "I'm sorry P'Arthit, I shouldn't have said that"Kong says, holding back his tears. He hated this side of him, when he becomes impulsive. He also becomes emotional, because right now he was crying. Yes, he was. "I'm sorry for crying, I'm crazy for getting hurt over a little thing"Kong says but Arthit shakes his head
