And 5. āWait a minute. Are you jealous?ā with AePete would be marvelous! (take your time or skip if you don't feel like it ^^)
When Pete got out of class that day, it was earlier than usual. One of the professors hadnāt been able to come to lecture, and so they were are all freed earlier. Peteās first thought was to surprise Ae at the soccer field, so he bought a few snacks, a water bottle and then headed there, a smile plastered across his delicate face.
As the IC student got there, though, he was the one to be surprised. There were several boys around, all dressed in the white and blue uniform, but the one he was there for was nowhere to be seen at first glance. Looking around with the plastic bag in hands, Pete finally spotted Ae. The other male was sat on a bench, looking up at one of his older teammates that Pete was yet to meet, but that was not the problem, the problem was that the senior was ruffling Aeās hair and Ae was smiling up at him shyly.
Seeing that scene made Peteās insides churn with a strange feeling. He didnāt like it one bit, and after all of the trouble he had gone with Chompoo, he really didnāt want anotherĀ ārivalā so soon after that. As if following a mind of their own, his feet led him to where Ae was with the other guy.Ā āAiāAe!ā He greeted, and then turned to pay respect to the older member of the soccer, whom he didnāt know was the captain, Techno, which easily smiled at him, greeting Pete back. Ae, for his part, had some sort of stoic expression upon seeing Pete there, specially seeing as the IC student looked bothered by something, a turmoil of emotions flashing on his face.Ā āWhat is wrong?ā Ae asked, already getting up and moving to cup Peteās cheeks, looking at the boyās face with careful attention. The IC student, driven by shyness, blushed on the spot.Ā āAiāAe, who is him?ā Pete asked, shyly pointing at Techno. Ae frowned slightly because of the way in which Pete looked at the captain of the soccer team. It was full of mistrust and wariness, and he couldnāt fathom that someone would ever look at PāNo like that given the seniorās easygoing personality and general softness.Ā
Before Ae could respond to the question, PāType came trotting towards them, his arms coiling around Techno from behind and his chin coming to rest at the captainās shoulder.Ā āWhat are you doing here being a third wheel to the freshman when your boyfriend was there in the field waiting for you to come back?ā He said with a stern face, but from his tone, everyone could tell he was only teasing Techno. Pete did the wai towards the newcomer, but he was clearly taken aback and his face was slowly being filled with relief.Ā āAiāType! Donāt talk to me like that in front of the freshmen.ā The captain complained, but as he did so, Type started tugging Techno back to the field, leaving Ae and Pete alone.
Once the seniors were gone, Pete smiled at Ae, a more genuine expression and extended the plastic bag towards the soccer player.Ā āI brought snacks for you.ā He announced, but Ae still felt that Pete had acted strangely with PāNo. The more he thought about it, the less he could understand.Ā āWhy did you act so weirdly with PāNo?ā He asked, after all, Ae was a very straightforward person and didnāt like beating around the bush. Heat rose to Peteās cheeks once again as soon as he heard the question.Ā āHe was touching Aeās hair and Ae was smiling at him.ā He explained in a low tone, almost a whisper, and his gaze fell to the grass patch under their feet. The response only made Ae frown again. It took him a moment to understand, but when he did, he placed a finger under Peteās chin and raised it to make the IC student look at him.Ā āWait a minute... Are you jealous?ā Peteās eyes widened at that, and it was response enough. Chuckling lightly, Ae pinched Peteās cheeks.Ā āDonāt worry about that, AiāKoon-Chai. I only like you.ā
