Two days went by with no issues in freshman meetings. Arthit was very proud of Kongpob for holding his temper. He knew that he, or one of his fellow hazers, had made Kongpob mad a few times, but he had remained silent.

There was a freshman gathering today after class and Arthit and the gang were ready to present the gears as an incentive for the tasks they were assigned. Arthit remembered when he got his gear and this memory made him excited to show the freshman and explain the gears to them all.

Classes ended and the meeting began. Arthit knew that if he wanted to make a point, he needed to call on someone to answer his questions. Kongpob was the obvious choice, but he was almost afraid to poke the sleeping dragon.

When the moment came, he said he would pick a freshman at random and walked over to Kong's sitting form.

"Kongpob, 0062, stand up."

He waited for Kongpob to stand and face him before he began talking. Asking his question, he waiting for Kongpob to answer. His response made Arthit frown; he had obviously not paid attention to Arthit when he told him the answer the other day.

Annoyed, he showed Kongpob the gear.

"Do you see this gear?"

"Yes, I see it." Kong said with a small eyebrow quirk.

"This is the gear for all engineers. What would you do if I didn't give it to you?"

Kongpob was silent and Arthit could see the struggle he was going though, but he grew tired of waiting for his answer. Huffing, Arthit dropped his hand and turned to walk away. But the next words made him stop and whirl back around.

"I will just take it then."

"What did you say?" Arthit questioned.

"If you don't give them to us, we will just take them from you."

" How are you going to do that?" Arthit wanted to take his question back as soon as it came out. He saw mischief in Kongpob's face and knew something was coming that he would not like.

"I will just make you my wife." This comment made Arthit catch his breath.

"What did you just say?" He finally asked.

"I just need to make you my wife. They say what belongs to your partner also belongs to you. So if I make you my wife, what belongs to you will also belong to me."

At this point, Arthit was so embarrassed that he grabbed Kongpob to get him to stop talking.

"What are you doing?" Arthit whispered as quietly as he could. He was trying to control his embarrassment and he could feel his ear were burning, but didn't think anyone could see them. Kongpob didn't answer but quirked his brow and the corner of his mouth to show his amusement for a second.

Before Arthit could do anything else, he felt a hand land on his shoulder. He knew that it was Knott trying to calm him down. He was always the calmest of their group. That's why he was called Papa Knott. Taking a breath, he released Kong and stepped back.

"Alright. Let's see if you can do as you say. But until then, you need to follow my orders." Arthit walked back to the front of the hall allowing Kongpob to sit back down. He was able to finish the meeting with no other problems, but after he walked out of the hall, he had to immediately leave the area. He was a little upset at Kongpob, but mostly he was embarrassed. Catching Knott's eye, he motioned that he was leaving. Knott nodded and turned to the other hazers.

Arthit made it to his dorm and he fell onto his bed. Laying there, he went over what had just happened. Why? Why did Kong do that? He could have given them away. Realizing he needed to shower and then go get dinner, he went about his routine. Stepping out of his dorm room 15 minutes later with his wallet, he knew he needed to talk to his boyfriend about the events of the meeting. One more problem like that and he would have no choice but to punish Kong. If he didn't, his friends would start to suspect something. So he planned to grab dinner and head over to Kong's dorm.

Arriving at the food and drink stalls, he went to order a pink milk first and then turned to the food cart. He froze. Right in front of him was Kongpob, having just ordered his own food and was facing the drink cart, Arthit assumed so he could order his Iced Coffee. Kongpob immediately smiled that handsome smile that Arthit loved. Realizing that he was staring at the other man, he cleared his throat and looked around. Kong nodded at the auntie behind Arthit and placed his order, while Arthit moved around him just enough to speak to the food stall person to place his food order. The partners stood there in silence until their orders were finished and they had paid for them before they both turned in the same direction to make their way back to the dorms.

Arthit looked around to see if they were alone after a moment of being out of the dinning area.

"Hey, Kong. Can I come over?" He asked, glancing over at Kong. Noticing the smirk that spread across the other man's face, he knew Kong was thinking naughty thoughts. "Not for that. We need to talk about what happened today." He saw the smirk die but Kongpob just nodded.

They arrived at Kong's dorm a few minutes later and Kong unlocked the door to let them in. Arthit glanced around as he walked into the room, noting a few things that he had given him during anniversaries and birthdays. He hoped that meant that no one else had been here or they would have another problem to deal with. The point of living separately was to keep others from finding out about them, but having so much of Arthit's presence was telling. They sat down at the little table and began eating.

"Kongpob, I really hate to have to punish you during hazing, but it is going to become a necessity next time you act out at a meeting against me or another hazer." Arthit said, after taking a bite of his food.

Kongpob seemed to take a moment to think, but he eventually nodded. "I understand. I will do my best not to mess with you or the other hazers. If I mess up, do what you need to. I won't be upset." Kong smiled at Arthit, who returned it.

They went back to eating in comfortable silence. Neither of them knew what was ahead for them, but they both were happy the other was there to help things along.

After they finished eating, Arthit kissed Kong and said good night so he could head back to his own room. He really wished he could stay with Kongpob tonight, but he knows that would be a bad idea. He was careful when heading over to him dorm as he really didn't want to out them yet.

The next day, classes passed by like normal. Arthit laughed with his friends when Bright got slapped by a girl who he flirted with. She had already told him that she had a boyfriend, but Bright pushed his luck.

It was lunch time and they all went to get their food. But as soon as they say down there was a commotion at the entrance to the canteen. Arthit didn't look over at first because he just figured it was a freshman being disrespectful to a senior. But when Knott leaned over and spoke in to his ear, he did look over.

"Um. I think that's your mom. What is she doing here? And who is that with her?"
