Chapter Text
Every time Phayu met Rain, it was fated.
He knew that - because he met him every time.
Sometimes, they met when Rain was still a child, or a teenager.
Sometimes, in his adulthood.
And sometimes, like this time, somewhere in between.
This time, Rain was in his twenties, just starting university.
They met in the pouring rain - how fitting - when his tire gave out at just the right moment for Phayu to notice and pull over.
Phayu was grateful his face mask hid the smile he couldn’t suppress the moment the young man rolled down his window.
“Your tire blew out, Nung. Turn on your hazard lights and pop the trunk, I’ll change it for you.”
Keeping his voice neutral was harder than building a skyscraper.
But he had to.
For Rain, this was their first meeting. The younger man didn’t remember him - not yet.
But he would.
Rain would fall in love again, just as deeply as Phayu already had.
Because their bond was fated.
And because nothing in the universe could keep Phayu from his Rain -
in this life, or any other to come.
