Work Text:
Singha couldn't sleep, worry and anxiety warred in his mind. Not to mention anger. What if King hurt someone else like he did Singha? And worse yet, what if Singha couldn't stop it in time.
Thup caught on to his partner's overthinking right away and reached out to touch him and Singha eventually sighed and relaxed, Thup's warm touch helping. "What's wrong, Phi?" He asked, still tired but knowing he wouldn't be able to sleep until he and Singha talked. "Is it a case that you're working on?" Thup wouldn't dare ask for specifics as it could harm Singha's work life.
"Not really, the case itself isn't too complicated. It's just that I don't like how King looks at Mek." Some would call it jealousy but they'd be dead wrong. He was over the relationship and Singha didn't have feelings for Mek other than mentoring him and being his friend.
"What do you mean? He isn't bullying Mek is he?" Thup liked Mek as well, they had coffee dates where they gossiped and ate pastries. He'd go after King himself if he had to.
"No, it's worse than that," Singha growled out, once again angry. Thup placed a hand on his chest and kept it there.
"What do you mean?"
"For Mek I think it's puppy love. But that's not how King works, he is jealous and possessive. But once he gets what he wants he leaves you behind." Singha still felt bitter about it, yes, after all he gave a piece of himself that he could never get back. But, had they not broken up he wouldn't be with Thup now. And Singha loved Thup more than anything. Thup smiled at him. "Can you read my thoughts?" He pondered out loud. Thup laughed and shook his head.
"No. Your heart rate changed. It's your tell." Thup kissed Singha's shoulder. "I love you too." He said nothing else and waited for Singha to continue.
"I just don't want to see Mek get his feelings hurt. He's a good guy with a heart of gold. And he's good for you, you guys are practically brothers at this point. I worry about him." Thup hummed after Singha admitted to what was on his mind.
"I can ask him about it. Apparently he's excited because he's interested in him. It's either King or a look alike from Mek's description."
"Let's hope it's a look alike then. And thank you, I'm not trying to be nosy or rude." And he wasn't. King was an asshole and right now Mek, the kindest person outside of Thup that he knew. He'd destroy that man if he dared to hurt Mek.
"I know you're not, Phi. I will keep you updated. And tell him gently that you're worried, he's more likely to listen if you are softer about it." Singha knew he was right but he still feel like a dick.
"Okay. I will do that." He hummed as Thup hugged him, feeling his entire body relaxed. "How do you do that?"
"Magic!" Thup wiggled his fingers making Singha laugh.
"I love how silly you are. Sorry for keeping you awake, darling. Get back to sleep, okay?" Thup nodded then drifted slowly to sleep. Singha outlined his thoughts in his head before he too went to sleep.
