Thame tried buttoning his shirt once again but his shaking fingers won't let him. It has been so long since he last felt like this and the nerves were kicking in soo bad he had to take in deep breaths to calm down.
What he was feeling at the moment was almost similar to when his Kiwi didn't accept his proposal to be boyfriends. The memory made him smile. At that time, he sure felt really heartbroken for a while and tried to relocate to study somewhere else because it will kill him to see the first person he has ever loved with anyone other than himself. But before he had made it out of his home after packing, an anxious and aggrieved Kiwi had burst into his hall just to scold him and won him back.
"Khun chai Thame ja~!! Have you seen my phone khrub?!!" Kiwi's loud voice rang through their penthouse unit. Thame couldn't help but chuckles at his boyfriend's clumsiness.
"Darling~ it's on the bed khrab" he answers and finally got all the buttons done. He neatly tucks in the edges of the white polo shirt into his caramel slacks. Taking his hairbrush, he started brushing his hair to its usual style with the assistance of the mirror.
"Mm~ someone's looking more handsome today krab" Kiwi tease moving to stand behind his lover and checking him out more in the mirror with his soft white cheeks rubbing against the nicely muscled bicep. Eyes squinted in admiration of his boyfriend's handsome looks
Laughing, Thame turned around and gave the beautiful soft Ven a soft kiss on the lips.
"And you look absolutely delicious as always my darling" he smiles
Kiwi kissed his boyfriend more before breaking the kiss. He looked straight into his Imperial Prince's eyes and gave a gentle smile.
"Don't worry my Ai'Koon Chai. Everything will be just fine. Your Kiwi is here to support you. I'm very strong" he wink trying to flex his small muscles with a "huff"
Thame laughs heartily at his boyfriend's quirkiness feeling much more better than a few minutes ago.
He still couldn't believe his luck on how he found someone so precious like his little Kiwi. Due to his well known status as the fourteenth grandchild of the Imperial Dowager Queen and Second to the throne after the Crown Prince and Shura, Thame had a lot of trouble trusting people or letting them get close to him.
Then Kiwi came along. With beady brown eyes and a buzzcut like the fruit he is named after and features that look like he is from a fairy anime. He also has a soft heart but knife mouth. His cute Kiwi that defends him at all costs.
Even if it means arguing with the head of the Bannoikuniksh household.
Second Imperial Prince Chasai Mondthanamankulkorn Bannoikuniksh.
Thame's father.
It was frightening and a bit amusing. Without fear for his life, the tiny Ven politely argued with the older Sen about his behavior towards his beloved Thame. Not backing down from the intense scary gaze of the Second Imperial Prince, finally the older man nods and apologized to Kiwi. Totally catching everyone present off-guard. Even Kiwi was skeptical about the apology until the older Prince laughs and affirms his apology. The reason for the past cold shoulder treatment towards Thame was due to some internal family misunderstanding which the older man claimed fault for. He has been slowly trying to repair the father and son bond between himself and his sons but it was a bit difficult.
Kiwi sighed and comforts the older man in return.
Thame was stunned silly.
Another memorable time was when Kiwi was there holding and supporting him when the truth came out about who his real biological mother is and why his older brother, whom he had thought was against him all life, had rather been protecting him all along.
It had been a heartbreaking time for him. He tethered on the brink of the self destruction.
His precious soul mate, Kiwi was there when he had tried to drown himself in self hate and alcohol.
Flashback:
There is an ugly feeling of guilt when some truths come out. The ugly feeling comes along with not just guilt, but sometimes self loathe. Reasons of past events comes crawling to the surface of the mind despite wishing for it to remain unknown and your mind finally adding up why somethings happened in the past.
The unnecessary nagging voice, the push for him to be the best by ways of beat downs both in and outside the combat training grounds. In business, his older brother will ruthlessly crash his good deals and toss him meager deals. But those meager deals always comes out the best. During his military training, he was pushed and pushed until he became the best in all military sectors.
It all made sense now.
He drank. He drank soo much he puked. He puked soo hard he wished he could puke his existence away. But unfortunately it couldn't happen. He hid away. Or so he thought until his beloved Kiwi had found him and nursed him back to health.
"Vent on me Thame. Let your mind free and vent on my body" the tiny ven said while looking straight into his beloved's swollen red eyes
"I was made for only you my Thame. If you break I break. If you scream I scream. If you drown I drown. But I would rather die than watch you go through hell alone for some crazy psycho's ruthlessness. So use my body and vent all your anger out my darling"
End of flashback:
"Thank you my sweet Kiwi. I needed that" with that said he gave the smiling Ven a hot searing kiss.

"Choco Mong khap~ I'm done with dressing up Yothan but he fell asleep right after the shower so I laid him down to rest" Imperial Prnce Minghao says as he enters the master bedroom.
"Hmm..okay" his Imperial prince consort answered, nervously twiddling his fingers. The beautiful tiny dark skinned man was sitting with his legs in an X position. He was looking anywhere but his handsome husband.
Minghao raised an eyebrow at his consorts' response. He got on the bed and sat the same way as his Choco Mong but with elbows resting on his knees.
"Spill" he demanded
"P-promise you won't be m-mad at me and will hear me out first" Kitmonkhoul blinks his thick long lashes at his beloved husband.
Minghao realised it was something serious the moment his Choco Mong asked that.
"I'm all ears khap" he nods
"N-no!! Promise me first~ " Consort Mong protests with a pout.
"Okay fine!!" Minghao groans. How can he win against his very own precious beauty. He sighs
"Iwantanotherbaby" Mong rushed out.
"I didn't get what you said. Take it easy and talk to me, babe. I am listening" Minghao grabbed his Choco Mong's still fidgeting hands into his larger ones assuredly.
"I want another baby and before you say no please hear me out first okay?" The hybrid ven cut in before his husband could shoot down the idea.
"I know my first pregnancy wasn't an easy one due to the incident that occurred. And we were told to hold off on making babies for a while. But I can reassure you that I am perfectly safe and fit to carry another pregnancy and to full term this time. And I will be hands-off in all medical practices and take a year of vacation. I will be careful not to take elevators that are crowded or go anywhere on my own without letting you know. I swear" He raised his small hand towards the sky.
Looking into the anxious sharp phoenix eyes of his precious little husband, Minghao couldn't help but sigh again.
"I can see you want me to die earlier than I'm supposed to due to worry hm Kitmonkhoul?" Mong's heart stopped for a millisecond then started beating fast.
"Exactly five years ago I was called and told that my six months pregnant wife was accidentally pushed out of the elevator. In the same hospital that he was working in as one of the best surgeons. I rushed over and the image of you looking pale despite your perfectly tanned skin, sweating profusely as you clench your stomach in pain and blood on your hospital bed still gives me nightmares till now. The sound of your painful cries as you try to hold on for as long as possible before your cesarean still rings in my ears my love~" he lifts up the tiny hands of the one he calls his heartbeat and gently rubbed it against his face. Before he continued
"I had to be drugged for over an hour before waking up. And during all that time, you were being still being operated on. 2hrs 43 minutes. That's how long it took to save both you and our baby's life. Our baby who was supposed to be born at ten or eleven months now had to be placed in an incubator for three months. Then you fell into a long week of coma. It was meant for your body to heal from the trauma but it wrecked me. All through that i couldn't get a wink of sleep. Because i was scared. Scared out of my mind that i will loose you both should i close my eyes my Kitmonkhoul"
"I'm still very scared of it happening again thats why i started taking preventive methods. And we both agreed we won't bear anymore babies. I love you too much and don't want to lose you. So please my Kitmonkhoul let's not talk about this na?" He pleads. His voice was a bit strained trying to control his emotions.
Mong immediately embraced his husband comfortingly, gently patting the vulnerable Sen's head.
"I understand you very well na my love. I know how scary it was at that time. But I promise you that I will be more careful and not go anywhere without the assistants or guards na. I already run through some vital checks thanks to the senior doctors and i am in perfect health to carry a baby. Also for sure Shura and Bua are my personal doctors too so I will be safe na na" he reassures
"Please my hubby. Na na na?~" The pleaded, kissing the all over the Sen's face.
Imperial Prince Minghao looks at his darling heartbeat and contemplates hard on the thought. He wonders if it is a good idea to agree to this. He is absolutely fine with one child especially since he(Hao) is the only child of his mae, the Second Imperial Princess Malai. And just like him, their son is a little Hybrid Sen.
They really don't need to have another baby. But his darling little husband comes from a very large but closely knit family. He is the fifth child of eight siblings and has two mothers and a father. Well each of Kitmonkhoul parents has alot of wealth and inheritance so his family has a very high status in the empire.
Sen Minghao was really reluctant to agree to this. But he really has never denied his Choco Mong's demands or wants... and it was not going to start now
"Fine. But let me think about this more thoroughly. I will get checked too. Just to make sure I'm in the best condition then we will discuss it from there. Deal?" He sighs.
Mong was stunned but very happy.
"Really?" He gasps
"Yeah~" Hao tsked
The Imperial prince consort was feeling soo excited he smash their lips together for a passionate kiss.
"Choco Mong if you don't stop what you are doing we won't make it to the gathering on time" Minghao groans against succulent small plump lips.
"Me or the gathering?" The smaller male gave his husband a seductive look as he slowly pushed him on his back and sat on his shorts-clad crotch.
"Was there supposed to be a gathering?" Hao asked pulling his tiny husband to taste that sweet mouth of his once again.

"Morakot are you done getting dressed?" Sun Mu Long asked his son as he made his way into the eleven year-old's dressing room.
Morakot or Em as he is fondly called by his parents, tried not to look too nervous. He was told he and his Baba were going to finally be introduced to the rest of the family. And from the stories he had heard from his Por, they are a lot. Also, he was going to meet his six-year-old baby brother for the first time too.
Crowd has never made him uncomfortable for he wishes to be a professional soccer player when he grows up.
Just that the thought of finally meeting his father's extended family was really terrifying to the young very cute gama. But he still really want to meet them too. They sounded like really loving people.
"Baba.. would they like Em?" He asked for the nth time since he was told about the family gathering.
"If they didn't want to know you they wouldn't have held a family meeting to get to know us my darling" the tall elegant Chinese gama said hugging his precious son to his chest.
"That's true. Baba and Por will stand by me all through out, right?" He asked
"You are my first most precious son and also a member of the Imperial family. Of course, your Baba and I will stand with you through it all" The deep baritone voice of his father was heard as he walks into the room. Seeing the majestic appearance of his Por, the young gama left his Baba's embrace and entered his Por's embrace. Feeling much calmer than before
"Your little brother Kiritin, has already personally taken charge of preparing your room and all. Getting everything he thinks you and your Baba may like. I swear he surely will put a dent into your grandfather's bank account this time" Thamp Kengkhao scoffs. "And that little brat has called me like fifteen times already asking me when we will get there" rolled his eyes.
Mu Long and little Em giggled at that. And just like a jinx, his phone rang again.
"Here answer it and tell him that we are on our way" Thamp said giving his phone to little Em.
Em took a deep breath and tapped on the receive button. Before he could say a word. A milky soft baby voice bombarded him with questions.
"Pa ja~!! When are you are bringing my Baba and P'Em khap? Are you all on your way khap? Should N'In tell grandpa to send the servants outside to wait khap? Does Baba and P'Em like blueberry muffins? Or do they prefer another flavor khap? What should N'In do~?"
Em was very amused by his little brothers' speed of questioning whilst still being polite. He giggled before responding
"Hello baby In, this is P'Em khrap"
And that was enough to make the person on the other side of the line to go mute.
