The vihokratana palace
"P'pong, wake gem baby up, he's gonna be late for school otherwise" new's voice echoed in their massive dining room where the whole family—except gemini— were gathered to have breakfast together
"Chaii kab~" pong, the family nanny, answered and made his way up to gemini's room.
"Phorphor, don't you think you pamper tht brat too much? When I was in highschool you woke me up at 7 am and sent me on a run" sky whined to new while munching on his jam-filled bagel and avacado toast.
"Coz you were on the school runners team, that kid isn't even the class president" nanon replied without looking up from his nintendo switch.
"Non keep the switch down, we're here for breakfast not wtv game you play, and sky, thank your phorphor for sending you on runs otherwise there was no way you could've made it to the team and as of gemini...new atleast tell him to wake up at 8, it's already 9:30 his school starts at 10:15" Tay scolded the kids "Non you have a morning class right? Of business management, why are you still here?" Tay reminded nanon
"OH SHIT- IM GONNA BE LATE BYE BYE" nanon shoved his chocolate croissant in his mouth and ran to his car.
"Sky, baby, you liked running didn't you? That's why I pushed you to run early inthe morning. Anyways son I need your help with some company matters, if you don't have any projects at hand at the moment, mind helping me out?" New asked his eldest son, sure that he would help him
"Ofc phorphor, anything for you" sky got up and hugged new, "aren't i your fav son?"
"Yes, you're my fav son" new broke their hug and kissed sky's head
"Gosh you 2 stink" tay complained as he chugged down his espresso
"Aww Papa's jealous" sky teased his father "but papa no matter how hard you try, phorphor loves me the most, right phorphor?"
"Yes baby" new kissed sky's cheek before telling him to go to the company as he would arrive late today. Sky sidehugged tay for a second and went away.
"'I'm pHorPhor's FaV ' who does he think he is?" Tay immitated— more like exagrated— the eldest's way of speaking bout his husband.
"Your son" new simply said while getting up "do you plan on sitting there for the rest of your life? Cmon we have a meeting to attend" tay got up, whining like a kid and followed new to the garage
(In gemini's room)
The sun rays fluttered throught the thin gainsboro gray curtains, —a shade completely in contrast with the room owner's personality—as it hit the expensive furniture of the young prince's room.
"Khun nuu~~" Pong's honey coat voice woke gemini up from his slumber, he doesn't like waking up but he knows he has to go to school.
"Khun nuu, his majesties and your brothers have already left, please wake up, you have to go to school, his majesty new, will be disappointed if you are late"
gemini groaned into his soft satin sheets.
"Hmmmm I'm awake A'pong" gem got up from his bed and opened the bedroom door, allowing pong to enter
"Khun nuu, we have to hurry, the school gates will be closed in 30 mins"
"A'pong it's literally our school, why can't I be exempted from some rules" gem whined as pong helped him get ready
"Ask his majesty bout that" pong shook his head with a fond smile plastered to his sagging tired face.
(15 mins later)
"A'pong, you are quite old, why haven't you retired yet? I remember you have lots of savings from working all these years, you don't have to work anymore then why do you still work as our—mostly mine— nanny?" Gemini asked pong as they got into the car.
"Khun nuu i just like working, plus I cant imagine before unemployed, sounds like a nightmare, imagine waking up with no his majesty new asking me to send the laundry to the laundry maids" pong answered affectionantely, he genuinely loved his job a lot
"Not gonna lie, sounds like paradise to me" gem unable to relate ends up laughing.
After that the ride to school was quiet as both of them drifted to their own thoughts.
They reached school within 15 mins thanks to their skilled drivers, gemini bid byes to his nanny and skipped his way to class, bursting from energy for the day ahead and excitement to see his crush, for the first time today, Fourth Lee.
Fourth lee, gemini's classmate who seems like the world's most prettiest, cutest, talented, skilled, strongest, best boy in the eyes of the youngest of the vihokratana family.
Fourth comes from a extremely rich family too, a family richer than the vihokratanas, the Lee family, originally a Russian-korean mafia lineage continued in Thailand by theerakit kian lee and his beloved husband, Peach jane-kit, Mr. Thee, known to be a strong but scary man though the ones close to him say the opposite, owns almost all major companies in the field of perfumes and entertainment, his husband Peach, is a globally well known photographer.
Fourth was sitting in his usual place when gemini fell into the class, literally fell.
Gemini was skipping his way to class but he saw fourth, quietly reading a book he doesn't know the name of, fourth's neck bent into a comfortable reading position, eyes focused on the words written on the page, unaware of anyone everyone around him, a soft smile plastered to his face,
Seeing him so peaceful, focused and smiling warmed Gemini's heart and he accidentally stepped on his own shoelace, which had loosened from all the jumping, and he fell face first infront of the whole class with a loud thud.
All eyes darted towards him as he embarrassingly got up and ran to his seat at the back of the class, he could feel all the weird stares on him and for a moment he turned back to face them
Only to find the one pair of eyes he loved the most staring at him intently before they realised and looked into the book again.
Gem plopped down on his seat and lightly banged his head on the bench
"Ayoo gem i know you own the school but it doesn't mean you can break the bench" aston, his bench mate whispered to him, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
"Shut up ash, I'm already embarrassed" gem groaned in response
"Why tho? It's not the first time your clumsy ass has fallen in front of everyone" aston had a point, gem was extremely clumsy, something his phorphor would call the 'tay-effects' makes sense coz his papa is as clumsy as he is
"I know I'm a clumsy ass it's just that...man i fell in front of HIM, can you imagine..like imagine falling on your face infront of your love of life? Wht gods did i offend to have such luck" now it was aston's turn to groan
"Man when, exactly when would you stop being so pathetic and actually walk up to him, he likes you too and I'm so sure, i can even bet money on it"
Aston has been trying to get gemini to propose since the first year of middle school, they're in the last year of high school now yet gemini hasn't started a single conversation with the boy he has loved since middle school
"Mf you can bet money on it coz you are rich, not coz you are sure that he likes me back" gem spanked aston's hand as aston started laughing like a maniac.
"And what about you? How are things going with your boyfriend?" Gem smirked as panic became evident in aston's eyes
"Wh-what? What boyfriend? Who are you talking bout?" Aston stuttered
"Chokun, who else would I mean?"
"GoSh! gemini vihokratana he's just a friend" aston flicked gem's forehead and looked away unable to hide his blush
"Yeah and the sun rises from West" gem mocked aston before stealing a glance at fourth who sat a few benches ahead of him
"One day, I will be courageous enough to ask you out fotfot, I will" gemini loved fourth alot, he just lacked courage but he was sure he won't let fourth slide out of his hands.
"STUDENTS TAKE OUT YOUR MATHS NOTEBOOKS WE'RE HAVING A SURPRISE TEST" their class teacher came barging in and broke the lover boy's reverie.
