“Oh, Ae and I are having lunch together today. Do you and Can want to join us?” Pete asks as he prepares his notebook and pen for class.
Tin widens his eyes and raises his eye brows. “Lunch? Today? What a shocking surprise after yesterday. Where you both had lunch together. And the day before yesterday too!”
Pete’s eyes narrow. “Sarcasm does not become you, Ai Tin.” Pete carefully writes the date in the corner of his page. “At least not basic sarcasm like that.”
“Maybe not,” Tin says with a shrug. “But it does sustain me.”
“If that’s all you’ve got sustaining you, then clearly I need to talk to Can.” Pete rolls his eyes. “He’s not feeding you properly.”
“I ate just fine this morning,” Tin sneers. “Besides, I know something you’d rather be eating right now.”
The blush forms on Pete’s cheeks despite his annoyance at his friend. “You’re being such an asshole right now. Did you eat Can’s this morning?”
Tin actually sputters into his coffee. “Did you just-”
“So,” Pete says primly folding his hands together in front of him. “Lunch?”
“Oh my good friend Pete, I wouldn’t miss it for the world!”
“I’m so glad!” Pete mirrors Tin’s tone. “Truly, it’s also very kind of you to offer to pay for everyone.”
Tin’s eye twitches but the teacher walks in before he can give his next retort. He figures he’ll get his revenge by taking everyone to eat grilled pork intestines. Can will be pleased at least.
“Thank you for agreeing to our request for an interview P’Arthit, P’Kongpob,” the freshman says while she offers a wai. “Especially with your busy schedules. My name is Elle.”
Kongpob smiles. “We are your seniors. Something this small for your class project is no problem, N’Elle.”
“I was going to see this one today anyway,” Arthit grumbles, nudging Kongpob with his elbow. Kongpob only smiles indulgently as Arthit’s elbow digs into his side. “So please, don’t worry about it, N’Elle.”
“R-Right then.” Elle presses a button and the recording starts on her phone. “Now, please introduce yourselves for the recording.”
“Hello, I am Kongpob Suthiluck.” Kongpob’s smile grows wider. “And this is my ex-boyfriend, Arthit.”
Arthit’s face turns pink before he shoves Kongpob nearly off his stool. “You’ve got to stop introducing me like that!” Arthit takes a moment to compose himself and straighten his shirt despite it not being a video recording. “Hello, I am Arthit Rojnapat. And I’m his husband.”
“Oh!” Elle offers an excited round of applause. “Congratulations P’s! When did you propose? When did you get married?”
Kongpob starts to speak, but Arthit cuts him off again with another jab to his ribs and a glare. Kongpob pouts and rubs the sore spot on his ribs while Arthit talks. “I proposed on his Graduation Day and he said yes.” Arthit actually smiles, a small soft, and precious one. It calms Elle’s gitters over the whole interview. “We got married after he passed his probation period at his job.”
“Wow!”
“And yet, Ai’Oon still smiles so nicely when he talks about our wedding,” Kongpob teases. Elle wonders if Arthit will hit him again. “I remember how he cried the most when we said our vows.”
This time Kongpob does fall off his stool. Elle makes a note to cut Arthit’s swearing out of the transcript later.
“Na Ai’Oon,” Kongpob says in his softest and cutest tone. Arthit ignores the flutter in his chest that still happens whenever Kongpob says his name that way. “Can you sleep over tonight?”
“Oi, Kongpob! I slept over last night!” Arthit successfully avoids blushing over remembering what happened last night. “And I could barely stay awake in class today. No way am I staying over tonight!”
“Naaa, please? For me?” Kongpob adds just the right bit of pleading to his voice to make Arthit waver. Like always. Damn him. Kongpob also doubles down by wrapping his arms around Arthit’s waist and resting his chin on Arthit’s shoulder.
“Don’t do that,” Arthit says, looking to the side.
“Do what?” Arthit refuses to look because he knows Kongpob has schooled his face into the picture of innocence.
“You think whenever you say, ‘Please, for me,’ that I’ll just do whatever you want. Well, not this time!” Arthit stomps his foot. “I’m sleeping in my dorm room tonight.”
Kongpob pulls Arthit even closer, his smile curls up at the ends, more endearing, cute, and cat like. “Please, for me?”
With Kongpob’s warmth and smell and sunny smile, Arthit feels his resistance crumble. He curses his weakness even as he shyly says, “Fine.”
Kongpob’s smile brightens even more. “Thank you, Ai’Oon,” Kongpob whispers into Arthit’s ear. “I’ll make sure you sleep well and wake up on time in the morning.”
“Like hell you will!” Arthit storms off. “And I want two pink milks tonight with dinner!”
Kongpob sighs and watches his boyfriend storm off to class, scaring a small group of freshmen standing in his way. An extra cup of pink milk is a small price Kongpob would gladly pay to have his boyfriend stay the night again.
Hi honey @chuucrazy, sorry for the wait ❤ thanks for sending this in 💞
20) top of head kisses
“Can you, like, bend your knees a little bit?” Yunlan asks Shen Wei. Shen Wei quirks one of his perfect eyebrows but obeys, lowering himself until he has to look up at Yunlan, for once.
Yunlan cradles Shen Wei’s face in his hands, splaying his fingers to cover as much skin as he can, his thumbs resting on Shen Wei’s mouth. He leans in and kisses the top of Shen Wei’s head, firmly but softly, breathing in Shen Wei’s cold incense scent until his lungs feel ready to burst.
With a grunt, he lets go of Shen Wei, allowing him to stand up to his full height again. Shen Wei gives him a confused look, lips parted in an amused smile.
“What was that for?”
“Aaaah, I just never kissed you there and I had to do it immediately least I die of my shame?”
Shen Wei shakes his head with a fond look, which makes Yunlan grin, which makes Shen Wei look at his lips, and it all goes downhill from there.
I feel like the reason certain dog-lovers insist cats are evil is because they read their body language as if they were dogs. So here’s a very basic guide to common “mean” things cats do that actually aren’t mean at all if you know what they’re thinking.
Rolling and exposing belly- attacks you when touched Does not mean: Give belly rubs! – haha I tricked you! Actually means: I’m playful! If you reach for my belly I’ll grab your arm and bite it because I think we’re playfighting!
Lazily exposing belly – still attacks when touched Does not mean: tricked you again! Actually means: I’m showing you my belly because I trust you. Please don’t break that trust by invading my personal space. I might accept a belly rub if I’m not ticklish and I know you well.
Snapping at you while being pet Does not mean: I suddenly decided I dislike you! Actually means: You’re petting me in a way that gives me too much restless energy. Please focus on petting my head and shoulders instead of stroking the full length of my back next time.
Is in the same room but makes no attempt to interact Does not mean: I’m ignoring you Actually means: We’re hanging out! I’m being respectful by giving you space while still enjoying your company.
Slapping/scratching your hand when you try to pet them Does not mean: I hate you! Actually means: You’ve failed to establish that we’re not playing, or the way you’re approaching me scares me. Be calmer, speak more gently, make eye-contact and blink slowly at me before you try again.
I love this post omg, thank you so much. As a lifelong cat person, dogs perplex me because they’re so completely different behaviourally.
I love dogs too but, I’ve been trying to tell people, you canNOT treat cats like you treat dogs. They arent the same animals and have very different personalities
P.s.: people often pet cats way too hard. Dogs like a firm pet or a pat on the belly, cats dont have the same bone structure and are more flexible than dogs so what you’re doing probably hurts them
Sitting and staring Does not mean: I am challenging you/plotting your demise/just generally evil and creepy. Actually means: I am a desert-adapted species, so my natural tears are very thick and keep my eyes moist for a nice long time. I do find people interesting and enjoy watching them. I just don’t need to blink very often!
Staring and blinking slowly Does not mean: I’m smug and think I am smarter than you. Actually means: I like you! But I don’t need to get up in your face to show it. I can just sit over here and blow kisses at you to show you I am glad you are around!
It’s very frustrating for me when people expect cats to act like dogs, or act like they’re deceitful. They aren’t! They just AREN’T DOGS.
Pour les chats 🐈💞
Get ready for “more reasons why I fucking love cats”
Yes, the legends are true. Cats headbutt you to show their trust and affection. They also do it to show “hey look I see you as family.” Lions do it with members of their pride to say the same. It’s not just because they want food.
Cats nibbling is indeed literally cats grooming you. It’s what mom cats do to their kittens. If a cat is gently biting and/or licking you, they’re now your mom.
Meowing can simply be for the mere fact they want to say hello, want to play or be pet. Again, not just for food.
They barely meow at other cats (except for kittens, they meow at mom cat), mostly just humans. There are exceptions but overall, meowing is almost always for us.
Cats squinting/slow blinking is indeed basically the equivalent of us smiling and/or kissing.
Cats, like humans, prefer to get things without having to work for it- which isn’t very common within other animals.
Cat massages or making biscuits is because they happy! Kneading is another way of saying “hey I like this moment here I enjoy you and my life.”
Cats recognize us by smell, sound, taste, and touch. They recognize us after years as their long term memory is extremely good. This is why abused or neglected cats are so easily scared or hard to connect with. If your scent changes over the years or just in the day, your voice will them it’s really you. Also, they will only remember you if you had impact on their life. If you just existed in the same house, they obviously won’t care.
And yes, they know our patterns in the day. You notice it when it’s beneficial to them (feeding time!). They will often wait for you to come home as well.
To remember: cats think we are interesting as hell. They watch us do everything because we’re fascinating!!!
They also want you to be around when eating because they feel vulnerable. They focus on eating so they hope you protect them. They do the same for you, all the time.
CATS 😍😍😍😍
when a cat turns their back on you, they’re not snubbing you. they’re trusting you to watch their back.
notice how when you’re unfamiliar but nonthreatening, they might loaf facing you and sorta halfway watch you. you’re not fully trusted, but you’re ok by them.
when you’re familiar and liked, they’ll often sit near you facing the same way. imitation of poses is a weird little way cats show solidarity. they do it to each other too. check out these bff’s:
they are doing this on purpose. it’s a buddy thing. so if you’re watching tv and a cat sits next to you and pretends to watch tv too, they are basically calling you bro and declaring friendship.
and if they really love and trust you, they’ll turn their back on you and go to sleep. they’ll sleep facing a wall in your presence, or lounge where they can’t see the room. this isn’t a snub, folks, this is true kitty love. they’re saying, “i feel safe when you’re around. i know nothing’s going to sneak up on me, because you’re here. i feel so safe i can stick my head under a pillow and snore with my butt pointed at you.”
farts aren’t an expression of love, though, as far as i know. they’re just farts.
I’m not saying this thing that I’m obsessing over and that I both desperately love and desperately hate at the same time and is sucking away my time and life and stopping me sleeping is a coping mechanism for dealing with all the difficult things I don’t want to deal with, but I am saying that.
Forgive me if this is off topic but I just want to let you know this. I, for one, am so thankful for the hard work and effort you are producing by subbing these shows. Especially SCI. I would never have been introduced to this whole new world of dramas, without your efforts. I know it can be so frustrating at times ( I write fanfic ) but please just know at least one person is deeply grateful for your work!
You’re an absolute sweetheart! Thank you so much for this, it’s really lovely to get these kind of messages, and while I really want to watch SCI too and see what happens and I absolutely made my choice going into this, it’s still really helpful to be reminded every now and then that people are enjoying it and appreciating it and understand that it’s hard work. Lots of fans have been really lovely, and it really helps. Thank you again, you’re a star 😀
