Work Text:
First was looking at all the couples who had a lock in their hand, ready to declare eternity to their lover. He too had secretly brought a lock. First already had it inscribed with his and Khaotung’s initial, he also added a little inscription too, declaring his love for his best friend/ partner. But deep down he knew he wouldn’t be declaring anything.
First knew he was still too afraid to change things between them. But that never stopped him from hoping. Never stopped him from buying locks and inscribing them with silly love notes. Never stopped him from flirting with Khaotung whenever an opportunity presented itself. Never stopped him from loving his best friend every day for the last few years.
“Hey Fir. What are you looking at.”
Speak of the devil.
“Just the couples doing this silly lock thing.” First answered. Still looking at the couples, as they prayed for enternal love.
“I think it’s cute. I just wished I had someone special I could do this with.” Khaotung said.
First heart sped up.
“Yeah? Like who?” First asked. Partly afraid of the answer but still curious and hopeful.
“You know. Someone cute. And sexy. And a complete dork. And cool. And has big eyes that can contain the whole universe in them. And has the most beautiful smile in the world.” Khaotung listed.
First felt his heart drop. That was a very specific list. It was almost like Khaotung already had someone in mind.
“Oh?” First couldn’t bring himself to ask who though. So he deflected. “Shame they’re not around here then.”
“…..” Khaotung jaw dropped at his response.
“What’s wrong?” First don’t understand why Khaotung looked so shocked.
“You…” Khaotung smacked his on face. “Seriously First?”
“Huh?” First didn’t know why Khaotung was starting to get frustrated. But he could hear Joong and Dunk giggling in the back ground.
“Seriously P’Khaotung. You’re fighting an up hill battle at this rate.” Joong said.
“Come on P’First.” Dunk said as he put an arm around First’s shoulder. “Take the hint.”
“What hint?” First whispered to Dunk.
Dunk rolled his eyes. “Phi…. There is no saving you.”
“Dunk let’s go put our lock up.” Joong pried his boyfriend off First.
“Good luck Phi.” Dunk said to Khaotung before they went off to add their lock to the others.
First was still so confused. What had he missed. And why was Khaotung still glaring at him.
“You’re hopeless.” Khaotung whispered.
“What did I do?” First wanted to claim innocence. But that was hard when nobody was telling him what he did wrong.
“You know what. Never mind. If you can’t figure out, then I’m not telling you. I can’t make it anymore obvious.” Khaotung walks off after saying that.
“Hey Tung. Where are you going?” First yells after him.
“Back to the hotel.” Khaotung scream as he continues to storm off.
“What did I do….?” First whispers to himself.
Joong and Dunk are looking over with pity in their eyes at poor First.
“Hey do you think we should help them?” Dunk asks.
“I want to help but this is something they need to work through in their own.” Joong tells his boyfriend.
“Yeah but P’First is so clueless. I feel bad for P’Khaotung.” Dunk says. He firmly believed that if he was happy in love then everyone around him should be the same.
“I know babe. But this is something they need to sort out on their own.” Joong holds his boyfriend around the waist. “Trust me on this.”
“You’re right.” Dunk reluctantly agreesz
“Aren’t I always?” Joong smirks.
“Don’t push it. Or someone will be sleeping on the couch tonight?” Dunk grins back.
“Oh but there is no couch in our room?” Joong whines.
“Guess it’s the bathroom floor then.” Dunk teases.
“Ok ok. You win.” Joong hugs his boyfriend a little tighter. He knew when to pick his battles.
First couldn’t take it anymore. He quickly made his way back to the hotel where Khaotung had said he had gone. He wanted to fix this. First didn’t like it when Khaotung was mad at him.
He went to knock on Khaotung room but no one answered. He tried calling out but still didn’t get an answer. Khaotung must have been super mad at First.
First couldn’t only give up and head back to his own room.
When he got there. He was surprised to see a pair of shoes that didn’t belong to him. They were Khaotung’s shoes.
“Tung? Are you in here?” First called out as he walked into the main area. The room wasn’t very big. He could see everything from the door way and nobody was in it.
He was about to check the bathroom when it suddenly opened. Khaotung walking out in nothing but a bathrobe.
“Tung? What happened?” First was confused.
Khaotung looked at him up and down. “Shower.”
“Huh?” First was still very confused.
“I had a shower. Now it’s your turn.” Khaotung pushed First into the bathroom.
“What? Wait? … Tung… I don’t need a shower.” First tried to stop himself from being forced into the shower.
“Are you sure?” Khaotung said very monotonously.
“Yeah I showered this morning and it’s only 10.” First explained. “Never mind that. Ai Tung, what’s going on?”
“I’m going to fuck you.” Khaotung said. This time pulling First out of the bathroom and onto the bed.
“Wha…?” First’s brain had switched off.
“It’s the only way for you to understand my intentions. I figured, if I fuck you, you’ll finally understand how much I love you and want to be with you.” Khaotung says as he starts to strip First down.
By the time First’s brain turned back on. He was already naked with Khaotung leaning on top of him.
“Wait!” First had to stop Khaotung before he could go to far.
“No. I’m not waiting anymore.” Khaotung unties his bathrobe. Revealing an equally naked body underneath.
First gulped. Khaotung was already hard and didn’t look like he would wait much longer.
“I didn’t mean stop.” First reasons. “I just want to show you something first.”
Khaotung finally stops groping Firsts body. His hand moving to stop on First waist. “You have 30 seconds.”
First quickly grabs his jacket pocket and takes out the lock. Showing Khaotung what he had inscribed on it.
KP&TR
My soul calls for only you.
“I brought this lock, hoping to confess but I was too afraid you wouldn’t feel the same way and that it would ruin everything.” First admitted.
“You’re any idiot. I have told you so many time how much I love you.” Khaotung tries to shake the tears out of his eyes. First could see them.
“Sorry.” First doesn’t know what else to say. They have wasted so much time because of his insecurities.
“That’s ok. I can show you the lock I brought and we can call it even.” Khaotung smiles as he leans his naked frame closer to First.
“You brought one too?” First asked. Trying to get his body to stop shaking at the anticipation of what was going to happen.
“Yes.” Khaotung runs his tongue down First neck as he responds to the question. He then opens the side draw and takes out a few essentials.
Lube.
Condoms.
And hand cuffs.
But no lock.
“Where is your lock?” First asks. Trying to distract himself from the other items Khaotung had just pulled out.
“Oh… here didn’t you see?” Khaotung tilts his head to the side, ancting all innocent, as he pulls the hand cuff up to show First the little lock and key that was on the handcuffs.
First gulps again. “What are you planning?”
“Don’t look at me with those big eyes of yours.” Khaotung kisses the bridge of his nose. “You’re going to make it harder for me to lock you up.”
“Tung…”
That was the last thing First was able to say for a while. The only noises he could make for the next few hours were moans and mewls.
