Afterglow and Playful Intimacy
The next morning, sunlight spilled across the room, catching on Tawan's tousled hair. Fah blinked awake, head resting against Tawan's chest, his arms tangled around him.
"Morning," Tawan murmured, lips brushing Fah's temple.
Fah stirred, voice sleepy. "Morning…you're…heavy."
Tawan laughed, a low, teasing sound. "I'm always heavy when I'm this close."
The day was filled with playful teasing and soft touches. Hands brushed under the table in cafes, shoulders pressed together in hallways, stolen kisses behind doors. The world could watch, but their intimacy was theirs alone.
They discussed boundaries and rumors that were beginning to swirl in whispers around campus, but neither cared much. Their relationship had crossed the private threshold, and nothing else mattered.
At night, back in Tawan's apartment, they cuddled on the couch, talking quietly, tracing patterns on each other's skin. Fah laughed at Tawan's teasing remarks, and Tawan kissed every smile into submission.
"See?" Tawan said softly, brushing Fah's hair from his eyes. "Life's better with us being honest. About everything."
Fah nodded, pressing a soft kiss to his chest. "Yeah…with you, it feels right."
