Genre: Fanfiction (Tin and Can from Love By Chance, a Thai BL Series)
_____________________________________________________________________
An hour had passed and Can is still cleaning the room he called the devil's lair.
"Stupid handsome, sexy devil...argh! He makes me mad." Can mumbled as he turned the vacuum cleaner off.
He patted his hands on his apron as he stood back facing the bedroom door. He stared at the only place he wasn't done cleaning yet. The couch.
"Ugh! Why does he keep doing this? This room is always filthy every time I come here. It's like he purposely makes it dirty to make me do unnecessary cleaning."
Thud.
Can fell on his face when the door suddenly opened.
"Is that how you wipe the floor? With your face?" Tin walked in, rolled his eyes and jumped on the neatly done bed.
Can groaned as he got up. He frowned when he saw how Tin lay on his bed with his shoes still on. He had his legs crossed after opening the magazine he had next on his night stand.
'What a jerk. Look at his stupidly perfect fac--argh! Scratch that. He's a jerk! Plain and simple.
Yep.
Yep.'
"I can feel your frown. You're not getting out of changing my sheets before I go to bed tonight. My shoes are dirty. Surely my bed has now dust on it again." Tin nonchalantly said before munching on the apple he brought with him.
While the young master read a sports magazine, Can resumed cleaning. He was hesitant to clean the couch earlier because he felt shivers ran down his spine when he found a box of condom on it earlier.
He didn't have to check the trash earlier to know why there was a box of condoms on the couch. The young master always have a girl or two brought inside his bedroom.
It irked Can to know that he works for a playboy and an inconsiderate one at that. He always had to clean after him. But he doesn't have a choice.
After Can's parents had gone broke over a failed business venture, Can was forced to work for the Phiravich family. More precisely for Tin Phiravich, their second son. He is to clean his room and, prepare his meals, wash and iron his clothes. So basically, he is Tin's personal helper.
Can doesn't have complaints regarding the job itself. The pay is good. It's the attitude of his cocky boss that he couldn't stand.
Can was done with wiping down the leather couch. He gathered his cleaning supplies and was about to pick up the bag from the trash bin when Tin threw the half eaten apple into the bin making it fall over. The garbage inside of it got scattered on the floor which made Can scream in anger internally.
"Oops." Tin said when Can looked towards his direction.
Can gave him a fake grin and turned back to his 'new' chore. He began picking up the trash and put them back in the bag. He felt relieved when he didn't see a used condom but found an empty box of it instead.
Tin had a playful smirk when he caught sight of Can's reddened cheeks after putting back the empty condom box into the trash bag.
Can hurriedly left the room after he was done.
"So adorable." Tin uttered alone.
The next day, Monday, Can finished all his tasks and got ready for school. Since he has to walk to the university, sometimes his friend Ae would pick him. They're both in their first year at NTI University.
Can is by the side of the road in front of the main gate of the Phiravich estate. Just as Ae arrived with his bicycle, they both turned when they heard a car honk.
"Hey! Get in the car. I'll drive you to school." Tin yelled at Can after rolling up his windows. He just got his car driven out of the garage and stopped right in front of the two friends.
Can blushed deep and awkwardly ignored his boss. He then hurried Ae to pedal away. Ae looked behind him as Can hopped on.
"Go!" Can begged Ae inaudibly along with his hands making the shooing motion.
Ae shook his head and glanced at Tin. He shrugged and pedaled away.
Tin clicked his tongue and slapped the steering wheel before he drove and soon passed the bicycle. "What's with him? Was he shying on me all of a sudden?"
Ae eyed Can soon as they reached their faculty. "So? Why didn't you ride with him?"
Can felt his face heat up and he reflexively covered his cheeks when he remembered what happened last night.
(Flashback)
Can knocked on his boss' door. He was holding the change for Tin's bed sheets. The door opened and a half naked Tin greeted Can's view.
He was only in his navy blue boxers.
Can's grip tightened on the sheets as he gulped looking at Tin's gaze. His boss is leaning against the door frame looking intensely back to him.
"Are you just gonna keep staring or you'll come and change my sheets? I was getting ready to sleep."
Can nervously stepped into the room and quickly changed the bed covers. The door closed behind him before he could get the chore done.
's**t. Why am I even nervous around this devil.
This is work.
This is work.
This is----"
"It's not folded right." Can's internal ramblings was cut off by his boss' little complaint. He stared at the bed sheet and the fold was straight and neat.
He was about to tilt his head and glare at Tin when his whole body got toppled into the bed. "What are you doing?!" Can blurted out as he struggled to get off Tin's grip on his wrists above his head.
A playful grin escaped Tin's lips as he studied the face of the cute boy underneath his body. His gaze laded on Tin's lips and he slowly leaned to close their gap.
Tin kissed Can softly. He deepened the kiss when the other boy didn't protest. Instead, Can moaned when Tin's tongue entered his mouth and hungrily explored it.
Tin nuzzled his nose against Can's cheek as he tried to even his breath. Can too is breathless. 'What just happened?' Can internally asked himself.
"How many times do I have to annoy you for you to look at me? How many times do I have to bring girls I don't have s*x here for you to be jealous and confess to me?" Tin uttered against Tin's neck.
Can's brows furrowed and soon he realized what the i***t of a boss he has just said to him.
Tin felt the vibration under him when all of a sudden Can broke into laughter. "You mean to tell me you like me and made me into a Cinderella because of that? Are you nuts? That is not how you tell someone you like them." Can said as he slowly sat up when Tin was taken aback by his words.
The young master glared at Can and pushed him back down. He devoured Can's lips which the latter responded by rounding his arms on Tin's nape and deepening the kiss in the process.
When they pulled away breathlessly, Can stared at Tin's eyes with flustered cheeks. "So...um...those condoms. You didn't sleep with any of the girls?"
Tin shook his head. "Do you know...I put as much effort in dirtying my room everyday so you could come here and stay longer as you clean it? I love the trail of your scent in my room. And i love being here with you. You're very aloof on me." Tin confessed.
Can smiled sheepishly as he bit his lower lip. "This...this is too fast..."
Tin bit his lips, too. "I...I know. I was i***t, wasn't I?"
Can softly snorted. "Where did you get those lame acts anyway?"
"Tul." Tul is his older brother.
Can chuckled. "At least now you know not to take his advice about romance again."
"Yup."
"Um...I have to get back to my room, now. Young mas--"
"Call my name from now on. Babe is welcome, too." Tin said after making Can sit on his lap after he sat up himself. "I'm your boyfriend now." He whispered to Can's ear seductively.
Can nodded while his cheek was plastered against Tin's.
(Flashback ends)
Fingers snapping woke Can up as he recalled what transpired the night before.
"W-what?" Can asked not hearing Ae's prior question. Ae rolled his eyes and left his friend at the lobby.
Later at lunch, Can was heading to the faculty canteen when a figure slammed him against the wall by the hallway. "Hi, babe. Care to explain why you eloped with your friend this morning?"
Can gasped as Tin kept his lips against his ear. "I...I was nervous. It's just...so sudden and--"
Tin straightened his posture and gazed down at his boyfriend. "Hm...maybe you're right..."
Can's heartbeat skipped thinking Tin was going to end their relationship right there and then. But he was surprised when Tin held his hands and pulled him.
"Come on, baby. Let's start with a lunch date,” Tin said. “Then I will confess at the end of the day-- Then you accept my I love you-- Then we kiss again. Over dinner or ice cream." Tin tilted his head to glance at Can next to him as they walked the hallway. "Sounds good?" he added.
Can smiled sheepishly while biting his lower lip and nodded repeatedly. "Where did you learn this series of sweet scenario from?"
Tin chuckled. "Hm...That was actually mine. I just thought they were lame so I didn't do them."
Can smacked Tin's arm. They both headed to the canteen with hands holding each other swaying as they walked side by side.
The end.
