A.N.: Okay, I didn’t do the first prompt because your request of Tin doubting Can’s feelings for him got me real good. So, I decided to write the beginning of their relationship – like a bit after the first month of officially dating. Once again it became a bit longer than what I expected, but here it is! Also, I threw a Tincan canon book quote, so if you can spot that, you get a virtual cookie ahahah Hope you’ll enjoy it! Instead of paying attention on my portuguese poetry class, I wrote this lmao

The thing Tin hates the most about his older brother is the fact that, when he makes an effort, Tul knows exactly where to hit to make it hurt.

“Where is that Thai Program boy of yours?” Tul had asked when he noticed Tin was alone at home – a rarity since Tin had started dating Can. “Did he finally get tired of your incessant hovering? I hope you know that your desperation for love and attention can be really…unattractive,” Tul says with a venomous smirk. “Beware, little brother. He may get tired of you quicker than you expect. I mean, he had never looked particularly amorous towards you both times I had seen him.”

Tin winces at the memory of Tul’s words to him. Usually, he could walk away unscathed from his brother’s vicious spiel, but this time had been different. Tul’s words had spoken what has been on Tin’s mind for some time now.

The fact he’s sitting in the canteen with Ai Pete and his stupid boyfriend being all lovey dovey didn’t help either. Pete smiling at Ai Ae, nuzzling his cheek in thanks when he arrived with Pete’s lunch just remarked the difference between his relationship with Can and Pete’s. Ai Ae definitely loved Ai Pete, it was clear through his actions. Can, if he thinks carefully about his behavior around Tin, seems to just tolerate Tin most of time.

Yeah, Can buys food for Tin every now and then when they are out and he pushes Tin to open up, but he never calls Tin to just talk to him. He never initiates any type of intimacy between them, and still fumble whenever they kiss. Tin, at first attributed it to lack of experience, but it has been a month since they started going out and Tin is starting to question if it’s more than inexperience playing a part there. The memory of Tin handing Can the fucking phone and telling him now he had a debt with Tin instead of his mother hit him hard enough to make him stand up. It’s the sound of Pete’s voice that makes him realize he was about to bolt out of the canteen.

“Ai Tin, where are you going?” Pete asks, looking startled and a bit confused.

“Away,” Tin manages to say as he puts the strap of his bag over his shoulder. Everything feeling too much at the moment.

“What?” Pete asks. “What about Ai Can? He’ll get him any second, what do I tell him?”

Tin doesn’t say “I’m not sure he’ll actually care,” but it’s the first thing that comes to mind.

“Say,” Tin pauses and hesitates, before shrugging off. “Say whatever you want, it’s not like it matters anyway.”

He turns around and starts to walk, ignoring Pete calling his name. He needs to be alone and think. So, he walks to his car, mutes his phone and then drives away.
