Work Text:
Syn smiled as he got up that day ready for school, ready to see his friends and even the teachers. Not like he'd ever had problems with his teachers, but some people didn't like certain teachers. Anyhow, he smiled as he went to eat breakfast and finish getting ready. He then headed out, liking to walk to school as he could do meditation while walking. Besides, his parent(s) had work to do (either they own the temple or have a working job). He couldn't bother for a ride, and if he drove he'd have to focus on watching the roads and lights. He couldn't meditate like that, so he liked to walk to school. Besides, it was also good to get exercise, not that he was lacking in that department. He walked around the temple grounds, he walked around school, and they had soccer practice and matches. It wasn't like he had to walk to school everyday, but he liked to, and it gave him extra exercise.
Shaking his head, he fell into meditation as he followed his usual path to the college campus. He arrived after some time, and smiled as he opened his eyes, able to close his eyes as he walked because he could envision the path. He was so well versed, so to speak, he could get there without trouble. Even with his eyes closed, which people probably found odd, he had no trouble. Shaking his head, he headed up to the sidewalk. He saw his friend, Kuea, getting out of a car, a redhead nearby he knew had to be the Kon Diao that Kuea sometimes mentioned. He smiled as he walked towards them. He called "Kuea!" and waved as he headed for them, the other two turning towards him. The redhead smiled at the brown or reddish brown haired temple boy. Syn smiled back, saying "You're Kon Diao, I assume; Kuea talks about you once in awhile," he also said, and dipped his head a bit
Diao smiled as he said "You must be Synsamur, whom he also talks about at times." Syn smiled to know his friend told another friend about him, the same way he got told about that said friend sometimes. Kuea smiled as he looked between them, then said "Well, we should probably head in now." The other two nodded to him, and they headed up the stairs towards the doors.
They did all their classes there, then Kuea and the others headed for the mechanical engineering class. It was off in its own building, or rather probably only part of the building. Nuer glanced to Syn, whom glanced to him then quickly glanced away again, knowing what would happen...Well, it actually only seemed to happen when Nuer actually got close to him. It also only started happening recently, when he realized it was a crush, that it might be love. See, everyone gets hot around the one they love, or think they love. Certain people only get a little hot, others get a fever-like heat and will faint from it. Then there were the ones who got a medium heat, but those were ones who liked two people. Lian and Kuea had already done...stuff three times, and Yi and Diao once, so those four no longer suffered. The friends Top and Win were also together, so they didn't have to deal with it either.
Kuea had noticed some of those times with Nuer and Syn, and wondered if something was going on there. He wouldn't mind if there was, he just wanted to know if there actually was something there. Though he figured he already knew the answer, especially when Nuer got really close to Syn. He probably didn't need to, and usually he didn't do it when others were around. However, this time he did, using giving Syn something (a pen or maybe a car part) as an excuse. Kuea noticed this, also noticing how they both acted soon after. Nuer pulled at his collar a bit, clearly hot, and Syn... well, Syn was breathing a bit heavier. He was clearly hot, and made a small sound of discomfort at it. Kuea patted his shoulder and passed him a cloth, not having any drinks in the classroom. They especially couldn't have drinks in this class, because if they accidentally spilled one or more, the parts could get ruined.
That or the computers and phones they had, and even the paper though...paper could dry. A whole water bottle or juice drink spilling onto paper would probably ruin it, and make it unsavable, though. Shaking his head, Kuea sighed at the fact he could only help by taking a cloth and dabbing at his friend's face. Nuer looked like he wanted to take the cloth and do that. However, Kuea gave him a look, not letting him as he was the cause of this in the first place. Kuea also wanted to tell Nuer to move back to his side of the table. However, he thought that would be mean, so he just sighed and stayed quiet. Though he did toss another clean cloth to the guy, whom offered him a nice smile then began to dry himself. Basically that's what they were doing, drying, getting the sweat from the heat off. Not that they were in heat, it was just a rise in temperature, that kind of thing.
(Okay, yeah, so everyone gets a little hot, though certain people start out very little heat and the others start out pretty hot. Then there's those in the middle, and the more time you spend close to the person the hotter you get. So tops/doms/men (male x female) get hot but not terribly. Those in middle (poly ship) get to a medium heat, and the bottoms/subs/women get to a fever like state)
Kuea turned his attention back to Syn, smiling reassuringly at him but noticed he didn't look so great. Syn slumped against him, so he automatically put an arm around him, and Nuer made a small sound. Kuea gave him another look, patting Syn gently and muttering to him. He yelped when Syn completely passed out, as Syn slipped out of his hold and he moved to grab him. He couldn't stop Nuer from rushing over, and the other young man grabbed Syn. He was hot again, not as hot but still hot, from now holding his crush. He turned to Kuea, looking quite worried if not possibly scared. Kuea sighed and motioned him, leading him quickly to the nurse's office then telling him to back out once there. Nuer needed to be away from Syn, so Syn could cool down and wake up. Then Kuea could...figure out what to do, find a way to get them to talk and confess then, hopefully, kiss.
Kuea was glad Nuer didn't put up a fuss, watching the other young man back away and stand at the door. The nurse looked grateful too, not wanting the room crowded in case more people had to be brought in.
-tiny skip to them kissing because I have Covid and need to move this along-
Kuea glanced between the two males, Nuer staring at Syn as Syn now sat up in the bed. However, Syn wouldn't look at him, and Kuea finally made a noise of exasperation, throwing his hands up. He took Nuer's hand, pushing at him to get him to go towards Syn. "Just kiss him already!" he said, possibly heatedly, taking Syn's hand now and putting it in Nuer's. The spiritual boy made a small sound, glancing at his friend and still not Nuer. However, when Nuer finally leaned over and kissed Syn, the temple boy sucked in a breath, looking at him now. They kissed a bit then pulled back, the need to breathe arising. Nuer smiled at Kuea, saying "Thank you," then looking to Syn and saying "Be my boyfriend," to which was earned a nod.

Foei and Jay had apparently met at some point, seeing as how friendly and close they seemed. Everyone was hanging out at Pentagon this time, since Top, Win, and Black just seemed more comfortable there. Nuchy, Ton, and Jab were suitably impressed by it. Still, the two males seemed to like Gemini a bit more, and yes Nuchy had come along despite not being to Gemini yet. They'd get her to go one day, just today was clearly not that day. Today was the day to be at Lian's club, still technically Yi's club though he'd stepped back. Speaking of, Yi smiled and cuddled his adorable redhead to him, making him laugh and squeal. Lian kissed Kuea a moment, then patted him a couple times before looking to the others. Foei was standing by as usual, and Lian sighed and shook his head. "Foei...you can go to Gemini if you want; we can get a ride from one of the others."
He wasn't even sure if the club was actually open that day, assuming it was but it wasn't always open so maybe not. Foei quickly nodded and walked away, dialing someone they assumed was Jay. He quickly returned, saying "The Gemini club is closed today, sir. He's...mister Jay is going to come here," he said, and Lian rolled his eyes at the 'mister'. He nodded at his sometimes weird sometimes nervous assistant, and said "Okay. Just...don't call him mister," he said, definitely knowing those two had something going on. Foei quickly nodded and bowed, saying "Yes sir," then glanced around as everyone waited. Jay arrived and the others greeted him, except Win and Top whom were off in their own little world. Even Black, despite having a beauty with him, greeted the Gemini owner. The beauty with him was White, and she was trans though hadn't actually told him that yet...
She'd gotten surgeries, so it wasn't like anyone would know anyone, and they hadn't done the do yet anyway. White and Black seemed perfectly content together, and had actually met at a grocery store.
He'd brought her to meet the others because he loved her so much.
-last skip-
Lian and Kuea had been married for two years, Yi and Diao for one, and Top and Win for a couple months. Since Nuer and Syn had finally got engaged, Black and White decided to give gifts. These gifts happened to come in the form of pups their dogs had found. Yes, Black and White had dogs now, Black's being a gray and black brindle with blind blue eyes. Her name was Weilinn, and White's Jessie was her red mate with white and some brown, brown nose and eyes. Yi and Diao already had their dog, so Jane, the female pup, went to Lian and Kuea. She was a Pomsky, strangely enough, strange because who'd just abandon such an expensive dog? She'd be a great playmate for Nong, being on the smaller side. Pike, one of the males, went to Top and Win, whom definitely adored him. Lastly, Nuer and Syn got the brown Archer, the other male, whom brought a second light into their life.
(Needed dogs at the end)
