When it does happen, it’s surprisingly not in a way Big envisioned it would happen.
Of course, he spent a lot of time fantasizing about his potential relationships with both Khun Kinn and Khun Kim (as each of them rejected him in their own ways) but he never truly thought about Khun Nuu that way, the older man an enigma to the bodyguard for it was Arm, Pol and Pete who used to spend the most time with Khun Korn’s oldest son.
And yet, the way he got to him in these past few months in a way he was certain none of the other bodyguards did, it said something to Big. Told him that, maybe, third time’s truly the charm and this time, he could potentially relax, not worry if it was a passing fancy (like with Khun Kinn) or someone to spend time with when bored but then just as easily discarded (like with Khun Kim). This – whatever it was at this point – that he had with Khun Nuu felt real to Big.
“Hey, Big… you know, you could just call me Khun, right? There’s no need for formalities between lovers, is there? Unless, of course, you are into that like some characters in my dramas are??”
His brain went offline after what the older man said, confused but also feeling the desperate relief going through his veins – this was something more, after all, he wasn’t imagining it…
“Big?”
Instead of responding to the older man’s questioning tone, the bodyguard leaned in and carefully placed his lips against Khun’s, causing him to freeze. Mistaking the other’s words and intentions, a part of Big still felt like this was too good to be true, he pulled away but didn’t get far enough before Khun pulled him back in, lips pressed to his as his eyes stared into his without looking away.
“Don’t. I’m still afraid, after everything that happened to me when I was younger, but… Porsche showed me that I can’t keep living in fear. I want to have someone to wake up to everyday as well, someone to love and to hold… Big, will you be that someone for me?”
“Khun… of course, I will keep your heart safe.”
“Cheesy, but I like it.” Khun smiled at the easy way the other dropped formalities, happy they could be this casual already, it’s all he ever wanted were he to get into a relationship like his younger brothers. “Please, keep being cheesy, yes?”
“If that’s what you want, it will be easy to do so.”
Chuckling, the older man leaned in to press his lips against the bodyguard’s again, although he wouldn’t remain one for long. Even if his intent was to keep Khun safe from now on, Big wouldn’t merely be a bodyguard from now on. No, much like Porsche and Pete, he would gain the same status.
The partner of the oldest brother in the family.
