LBC’S INCORRECT QUOTES: Was that before or after you slept with him?

@andwebegin

Pete walks towards the IC Building. He spots Tin, sitting outside on a bench, which is not abnormal.

What is abnormal is how Tin’s eyes are following someone. His laptop is out, but his fingers are still. Pete tries to trace his line of sight and finds Can on the other side of the street, laughing and joking with other people. Tin looks like he wants to stab them.

“Oh Ai Tin, I didn’t know that you know Ai Can,” Pete says as he sits beside Tin. 

Pete watches Tin’s body language as he answers. His shoulders and back slouch, like he’s curling in on himself. The tips of Tin’s ears turn pink and Tin actually looks to the side instead of at Pete. “Let’s just say that we’ve ‘crossed paths’.”

Pete takes it all in before asking, “Was that before or after you slept with him?”

“What? How did you?”

Pete smiles. “You seem so besotted, Ai Tin. It’s refreshing.” Pete pats Tin on the shoulder before he gets up. “Also Ai Can has been shouting about how he can’t believe he lost his virginity to you at soccer practice. Bye!”

Pete turns to look after he’s walked off for a few steps to see Tin marching towards Can with a strange look on his face. Certainly Can’s going to get a repeat at this rate, Pete thinks.

LBC’S INCORRECT QUOTES: I’ve been dropping subtle hints that I like him.

“Tin, have you told Ai Can that you might like him,” Pete asked during class one day. Tin, in a rare show of openness, had confessed his growing feelings. “He’s very straightforward like Ae. He won’t get it unless you say it.”

Tin didn’t look up from his computer, but he stopped tapping his pen.

“I’ve been dropping subtle hints that I like him,” Tin replied. “Very subtle.”

“Uh… Very subtle you say?”

“I can’t stand you, Thai Program,” Tin said in a low voice.

“I can’t stand you either, Unloved Child,” Can replied loudly.

“It’s a work in progress,” Tin said offhandedly. “Very preliminary.”

“Right. I’m sure you’ll get it done, Ai Tin,” Pete said brightly. “He’s more of a disaster than Pond,” Pete thought to himself.

LBC’S INCORRECT QUOTES: So is that a ‘I like you too’ or what?!

@andwebegin

Sometimes Can wasn’t sure what went on in Tin’s head. 

Tin’s plans were never straightforward at the best of times. His strange ways of alluding to things often went over Can’s head. And really, who knew what was really going on in the heads of the rich? 

Can faults himself for not expecting the same level of obtuseness from Tin’s “confession.”

“There’s no denying that I have feelings for you that can’t be explained in any other way,” Tin says. He pauses for a moment. “I briefly considered that I had a brain parasite, but that seems even more far-fetched.”

Can could only reply, “Are you sure you don’t have a brain parasite because that doesn’t make any sense!”

Tin rolled his eyes. “I like you, idiot. There’s no other reason why I could feel this way.”

Can thought about it for a moment. “So you’re sure you don’t have a brain parasite? Maybe you’re having a stroke. Or dementia.” 

Tin sighed and pulled Can in for a kiss. Can did always respond better to physical stimuli.
