Chapter Nine

The sun rose, scattering it's light all over, but Gulf had been sleeping his ass off like a log thrown on the bed. 

The curtains were thrown open causing the sun to shine bright on his face. He tossed and turned on the bed with a frown. "Who the hell is making the sun slap my face early in the morning!" Gulf mumbled in annoyance.

"Get your ass off the bed this instance if you don't want to regret it." Thanit said in a stern voice. 

"10 more minutes please!" Gulf said groaning and Thanit wasn't having it. He pulled off the duvet and threw it on the sofa. "I will count to 3 if you don't, get ready to take a bath on your bed." Thanit retorted. 

Gulf frowned and ruffled his hair in frustration. "Argh! Why are you so cruel?" He said sitting up straight. 

"Good for you that me being cruel saved your ass." Thanit responded with a scoff.

"Huh?" 

"Do you even know what day is today and what time....OH MY GOD! what the hell! You are gonna be so late. MOVE YOUR ASS OFF THE BED KANAWUT!" Growled Thanit which immediately woke up Gulf and he jumped out of the bed in responce without putting on a fight.

"Hahaha. Gosh how much I love this side of my dear husband." Tae said approaching them. "You look so damn sexy when you're angry baby~" he added back hugging Thanit and softly kissing his cheek. 

Thanit turned around and glared at his husband which clearly read "not the time for this shit" which Tae quickly interpreted and moved backward. Thanit then turned to look at Gulf sternly who stood there confused as to why was he being yelled at early in the morning. 

"You have been fucking sleeping like a log since you came back from your classes yesterday and you have a bloody match today! DO YOU KNOW? IT'S IN AN HOUR!" Thanit yelled and Gulf's eyes widened at the information. 

"WHAT THE HOLY FUCK! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" Gulf said panicking and walked into his closet, rummaging through its contents.

"I want you down in 15 minutes and if you aren't ready by then, I'll pull you out in whatever state you are and send you off to the designated area where your competition is being held and you know how fucking serious I am." Thanit said coldly. Gulf just nodded in response and placed his outfit on the bed before dashing toward his bathroom like flash. 

Thanit turned around and sighed heavily. "Stupid! I'm so tired dealing with their careless and lazy asses. Lia is more diligent than him." He said huffing. 

Tae approached his frustrated husband, pulling him close and pecking his lips briefly. "Calm down beautiful. Stop stressing so much. I know you care about them, but they're adults now and trust me if anything happens like this again, I won't let my precious husband stress this way cause I'd be the one dealing with heir lazy asses." He said kissing his husband again. 

Thanit calmed down and hugged his husband, resting his head on his chest. "I'm nervous." He said and Tae lowered his head to looked at Thanit. "I'm nervous because it's a very big day for him and I don't know how will he perform though I know he's quite good at it." Thanit added, sighing. 

Tae looked at his life partner with love and amusement. He wondered how lucky he was to have him in his life. He indeed must've saved an entire country in his past life to have him as his life partner. 

Tae hugged Thanit tighter in his embrace and patted his hair softly. "He'll do good love. Don't worry so much." He said smiling at Thanit who nodded and smiled back at him. "Now, let's go and wait down for him." Thanit said, pulling his husband by the hand out of the room. 

Gulf however rushed out of the bathroom earlier than expected and dashed down the hallway in 10 minutes. 

"Let's go. If I am late I'm dead." Gulf said to Tae and Thanit. 

Thanit stood there staring at Gulf blankly. Gulf was confused for a moment but understand why was he being stared at. "I promise I'll eat twice later after my match. We seriously need to go now, please." Gulf stated, but Thanit wasn't buying any of it. 

He just stood there staring at Gulf. "You don't shove the food down your throat, no competition for you." Thanit added coldly. 

Gulf could only look at Thanit with pleading eyes but nothing happened, so he turned to look at Tae who raised his hands in defence and shrugged, indicating that he's not willing to piss his husband more. Gulf could only sigh in defeat and he shoved the food down his throat and gulped his juice till the glass was empty. He turned to Thanit and asked, "happy now? Can we go?" Thanit beamed and nodded his head, "oh hell yeah!" He replied. 

When they got out of the mansion, they saw their brothers leaning on their respective luxury cars, waiting for them. Gulf turned around and looked at his brothers and then at Tae and Thanit, who just shrugged.

"Woah! Don't tell me I'm being accompanied by all six of you." Gulf asked with a raised eyebrow. 

"Well, not just six of us." Tae replied. 

"Huh?" Gulf asked in confusion. 

"Well, we're tagging along as well." Saint said coming from inside the house with a giggling Lia in his arms. 

"Uncle Gulfie!" Lia called stretching her arms towards Gulf. 

Gulf quickly grabbed her in his arms and peppered kisses all over her face. "I'm glad my princess is tagging along otherwise I wouldn't have let them come with me." He said chuckling. 

"Yeah yeah enough of the sweetness, get your buttocks in the car. We're late." Nine rolled his eyes, "Oh and you're driving as well bullhead." Nine added throwing the key towards Gulf and getting in the passengers seat in Gulf's car. 

"This stupid guy." Gulf said handing Lia over to Tae and heading towards his car. 

He stopped a few steps later and looked back. "What are you all waiting for? Get in the car. Oh and Saint I don't need to worry about you, since you'll be sitting with your sweetheart anyway. Zee, I know Saint's cute, but beware he bites as well." Gulf said and ran towards his car, while Saint growled at his best friend. 

This asshole. What the fuck man! How am I going to face Zee now and what? I BITE? WHAT THE FUCK GULF! Saint screamed internally. 

The others chuckled and walked towards their respective cars and Tae patted Zee's shoulder lightly and whispered, "Good luck buddy." 

The others left drove and left the premises, leaving Zee and Saint alone. Saint approached Zee sheepishly, fiddling with his fingers. "Umm..let's get in the car first. Shall we?" Zee said to break the silence and Saint just nodded in response. 

They sat in silence for a moment before Saint spoke up. "Umm..Zee, don't mind his words you know he speaks nonsense all the time." Saint uttered mentally cursing Gulf. 

Zee just chuckled at that, making Saint look at him in confusion. "What's so funny?" He asked. 

"Well, you look cuter when you are flustered." Zee said, ruffling Saint's hair, making Saint blush the darkest shade of red. 

"Zee...ummm...I want to tell you something.." Said said, fiddling with his fingers. 

"Okay, but before you do, can I go first cause I have to tell you something as well and I don't wanna keep it waiting for too long since I've been hiding it for a long time already..." Zee said sheepishly. 

Saint had a faint idea of what Zee had been talking about earlier, but he sure didn't want to have his hopes high since things could go otherwise as well and he didn't wanna hurt himself as he liked Zee too much out of his own control. 

Saint took a deep breath and nodded. "Ok, but lets do this. How about we go together, huh?" Saint suggested and Zee thought for a while before agreeing. 

They both took a deep breath and looked into each other's eyes before speaking. "I like you!" They both said in unison. 

When they heard each other say those words, their eyes widened. Saint couldn't believe that his crush of 2 bloody years felt the same about him and his eyes started pooling at the overwhelming feeling. Zee who had been shocked snapped back into reality when he saw Saint's eyes being pooled by tears. 

He gently cupped his cheeks and caressed them with his thumb. "Hey, why are you crying baby bunny?" He said in his soothing and calming tone. 

Saint couldn't help it and burst into tears and Zee panicked. "Did I do something wrong, bunny?" Zee asked panicking while Saint shook his head in response. 

"Then what's wrong?" Zee asked wiping down the tears over his flawless cheeks. 

"It.. it's be.. because I..I am happy." He cried more. " I liked you for 2 years and finally I get to be happy with the one that I like." Saint said sobbing and looking at him with his doe eyes. 

Zee couldn't help but smile. "How can you be this cute, huh? It just makes me wanna kiss those plump lips of yours so much." Zee said admiring his lover.

Saint stopped crying and looked at him with his sparkling eyes while sniffling. "Then who's stopping you to do that?" Saint said with a smirk. 

"What did I ever do to get someone so damn awesome like you." Zee said rubbing his thumb over Saint's cheek. 

"You talk too much." Saint said pulling Zee close by grabbing his collar and closing the gap in between them. 

As their lips touched, it sent sparks through both of their bodies, awakening their desire for each other that had been hidden for such a long time. They had their lips pressed for a short time before they pulled off and stared into each other's eyes, which were screaming for more and they did just what they wanted to. 

Zee grabbed Saint by the waist, pulling him closer and smashing their lips once again. They nibbled, sucked and licked on each other's lips with so much passion. They wanted this moment so bad. They wanted their lips on each other for so long and finally it happened and they weren't leaving each other's lips anytime soon.

Saint deepened the kiss by grabbing Zee's nape and pulling him closer. Zee sucked and nibbled on Saint's upper lip and bit it softly, earning a gasp from Saint which made it easier for Zee to let his tongue in and explore the warm and wet cavern. Their tongues were swirling in each other's mouth, fighting for dominance which Zee won after Saint decided to let him be. They devoured each other for a long time, sucking, nibbling and licking each other's lips until they were deprived of oxygen and felt like they would suffocate any moment now. 

They broke off the kiss and touched their foreheads together and smiled. "That was one hell of a kiss." Zee said chuckling.

"Well, I couldn't help it you know since you look like a snack all the time." Saint said shrugging. 

"Don't do that bunny, or else we won't be reaching to the competition on time." Zee said pecking Saint's lips one more time.

"Then we better hurry or else Gulf will kill us." Saint said chuckling. 

They buckled up their seatbelts and were ready to leave when Zee spoke again.

"Oh and one thing before I forget. Saint?" Zee said turning around to look at Saint.

"Hmm?" Saint hummed. 

"Will you be my boyfriend, bunny?" Zee asked anticipating a yes. 

Saint simply rolled his eyes. "Are you always this stupid? What do you think I'd say after kissing like a hungry wolf?" Saint said raising an eyebrow. "Obviously yes dummy!" Saint added and Zee sighed in relief.

 Zee took Saint's hand in his and kissed it softly. "Thank you so much bunny." Zee said smiling. "A thank you to you as well and I like the nickname. Bunny." Saint said giggling as they drove off the premises. 

Zee held Saint's hand in one of his and had his other hand on the steering wheel, both having the brightest smiles on their faces. 

They couldn't be any happier and couldn't have wished for more. 

A love ever so longed for, coming true.
