i love pttp, they're so fanfic-able
this is aimless, but i just really wanted some pointless fluff.
"How about you?" The host jokes, proudly showing off his hand, "Where's your ring?"
There's barely a pause before Por says, straight-faced and with a slightly sulking tone, "I'm waiting for him to give me one."
Tee's eyes widen, unable to suppress the sudden burst of laughter that statement brings him.
"Uiii," he says, still laughing.
The hosts laugh along, and then moves on.
(Tee goes with the flow, but he keeps the thought at the back of his head.)
It's the most viral clip in the whole video. Of course, it is. Por was on fire that day, and all his teasing hit just right. Tee feels really proud of it, replaying the clip any time he sees it in his timeline.
The fans eat it up. Amused, Tee sends some of the tiktoks to Por, then messages him with:
[Do you want a ring, Pip?]
It's already late so he isn't expecting a reply. They finished practice at midnight and Por was already basically sleep-walking by the time he was dropped off at his house.
That's why he is surprised when he gets a notification for a video call.
"Ter?" He asks as soon as he accepts. "I thought you'd be asleep."
"Not yet." Por's eyes are heavy-lidded and his voice is especially low when he speaks. It's adorable. "You haven't taken a shower?"
Tee pretends to pout. "I'm still resting," he says. "I'll shower!"
"Sure," Por says disbelievingly. Then, he yawns and closes his eyes. It takes him a few seconds to open them again, clearly seconds away from falling asleep. "You already gave me a ring. I just remembered."
"When?" He feels like he would have remembered that. Better yet, the fans would have posted about it already and made more tiktoks if that was the case.
"Your birthday gift, last time?" Por says. "It had a ring."
"Oh..." It did, didn't it? "You've never worn it as a ring, though."
Por shrugs. "Still counts."
"It does?" Tee grins, raising an eyebrow. "Piiip, would you consider it a promise ring?"
"Mm," Por agrees. At this hour, all his filters are off. Tee cherishes the fact that he's allowed to see this. "You promised to be a good boy."
Tee laughs. "I did." He was frantic back then, intent on proving himself to his older partner. Saying he'll be a good boy was a serious pledge, even though Por had laughed and started calling him his puppy since then. "I guess it is a promise ring."
"You should go to sleep, Ter. Rest well."
"You, too," Por says, tucking himself into his bed and hugging his pillow with one arm. Tee takes a screenshot because he can. It's his privilege. "Shower, then sleep. We're early tomorrow, too."
"Alright." Tee nods obediently. "I'll shower now."
"Good boy," Por teases, then hangs up.
Tee grins at his phone, feeling energized despite the late hour. He'll take his shower and be a good boy. He'll make sure to remind Por about it tomorrow so he can get a reward.
