Resting Bitch Face

[almcvivo]

terraluminosa‌:

for a moment, phichit is too distracted by seung-gil to focus on his own krathong. aside from the fact that his boyfriend is absolutely gorgeous, especially with the warm glow from the candles lighting up his face and reflecting in his expressive eyes, there’s something so heart-warming about seeing seung-gil with his own self-made krathong in his hands, performing traditions phichit has known since childhood. even if it’s seung-gil’s first time doing this, it looks right, in the way that this is how it should be– the two of them crouched by the river, smiling and placing lit krathongs in the water, nudging them away to join the others. it feels right.

i wish for our happiness. for the two of us to stay happy and healthy together.

just like seung-gil, he keeps his wish to himself, still believing the childish notion that saying it out loud may keep it from coming true. but even if fate decides not to grant his wish, phichit will do everything in his power to grant it himself, and he knows he can do that, knows that they can do it together. 

as the gentle river currents float their krathongs further away, phichit puts his palms together, bowing his head slightly and leaning his hands against his forehead as he begins a silent prayer. perhaps it wasn’t necessary, but just like he had encouraged seung-gil to do whatever felt right, phichit would take his own advice too and pray for the two of them, his family, and the rest of his friends. he’s not the most religious person in his family, but he does pray from time to time, something seung-gil already knows. 

he lifts his head once he’s done, smile as gentle as it had been before. his calmness didn’t mean he was no less enthusiastic than the people around them, but praying and placing krathongs in the river always put him in a calm state of mind. “thank you for doing this with me. i know i already told you while we were making the krathongs but– it really means a lot to me.” his smile widens, “maybe next time, we can travel up north to see the lanterns.”

Seung-gil remains silent as he watches Phichit clap his hands together to pray. It’s hardly the first time he had seen the other do something like this, and he always made sure to be respectful. He had never been one for praying himself, so he was content to stand up once more and wait for the other to be done. In the mean time he found himself watching the river, admiring how peaceful everything seemed.  

It was then that he had decided that he would do his best to make it to Thailand every year around this time so he could partake in this holiday with Phichit. Sure he wasn’t even remotely Thai and perhaps it was rude of him to intrude on a holiday that wasn’t his.. but if Phichit was willing to have him around then he would ensure that he made it down. 

When Phichit speaks his attention is turned back to the other skater and he gives a soft nod. “You are welcome..” he said softly, his attention turning back to the river for just a few moments more. “It has.. been quite the experience.” he commented softly. He moved to stand just a bit closer to Phichit, taking the other’s hand in his own. 

“It is beautiful..” he whispered softly, glancing back at Phichit to offer a soft smile. He wasn’t one for public displays of affection very often, but the moment felt right enough for him to lean in just a bit more and capture Phichit’s lips up in a soft and gentle kiss. It lasted only a few moments before he pulled away, the small smile never leaving his lips. 

“I am looking forward to it.”

random starter for @almcvivo because hey!! loy krathong festival is/was today/yesterday??

darkness has long since fallen, but with the full moon in the sky and thousands of candles being lit by the crowds around them– some even already floating upon krathongs in the river– it’s easy to navigate along the riverside. with one hand around seung-gil’s, phichit leads them to a quieter spot where they can reach the water. 

with an almost serene smile upon his face, he crouches down and carefully pulls their own self-made krathongs out of his bag, handing seung-gil his. they’re both on the simpler side, but the flowers are colorful, the incense and candles steady among the banana leaves, so phichit is satisfied. 

he lights his own candles and incense sticks, before handing the lighter over to seung-gil, waiting patiently with his krathong in his hands, ready to place it in the water to let it join the other ones already lighting up the scenery. it’s beautiful, a sight phichit will never grow tired of, no matter how many times he celebrates loy krathong. with seung-gil by his side, he feels even more excited than the previous years, overjoyed to get to share this tradition with someone who means so much to him. 

“you can make a wish as you place it in the water,” he tells seung-gil, still smiling. “that’s usually what i do, but different people do different things. some think of this as a way of getting rid of previous misfortune, some pray, some ask for forgiveness. do whatever feels right.”

This was his first loy krathong festival, and even he had to admit that it was quite the sight to behold. He could understand why Phichit seemed to be so excited about sharing this holiday with him. Seung-gil had never particularly been one for arts and crafts, but he had agreed to make his own krathong, following the directions that Phichit gave him. He liked to think that his turned out well enough, though it wasn’t nearly as beautiful as some of the ones he had already seen floating in the river. 

He was quiet as he followed Phichit, never really all that fond of large crowds but he was managing well enough. There was a certain relief that washed over him as Phichit managed to find a quiet space for the two of them near the river. He finds himself watching the river, taking in the sight of it all, so much so that he had nearly missed the fact that Phichit was trying to hand him his own krathong. Blinking once or twice he took it carefully into his hands, admiring it in a way, despite the fact that it was on the simplier side. 

Seung-gil was patient, taking the lighter when it was handed to him and going about carefully lighting each incense stick. It took only a few moments, and once it was done he handed it back to the other skater. He listens to the other’s instructions, nodding a bit. “I see..” he mused softly, the idea of making a wish did sound rather appealing to him, despite the fact that he knew there was no value in wishing upon anything. Despite that.. something felt right about doing it now, there with Phichit by his side. 

The Korean skater carefully bends down some, hovering near the water as he looks into it for a moment. Glancing over at Phichit he offers the softest of smiles as he takes a deep breath. Very carefully he places the krathong into the water, giving it a light push so it didn’t get stuck on the very edge. As his fingers brushed the water and let go of the kragthong a simple wish was thought, not daring to even say it out loud. 

I wish.. simply to stay by his side for the rest of my days.. please allow me this simple request..

distracted by the food, phichit almost misses how seung-gil pulls up his phone. had it perhaps been someone other than phichit, seung-gil would have gotten away with taking a picture without being noticed, but phichit has taken far too many pictures himself to not know what one looked like while doing it. to him, it’s obvious that the other isn’t just checking messages or some other app, it’s obvious that he’s snapping a picture of phichit– but it happens so fast, he doesn’t have time to pull up a peace sign or even smile. with a spoonful of meat and rice halfway to his open mouth, there’s no way that was going to be one of those cute candid shots. 

“did you just take a picture of me?” he asks despite already knowing the answer. feeling both surprised and amused, phichit can’t bring himself to even fake a tone of annoyance. “and here i was, not asking for a selfie together because i wanted to be nice to you on your first day here.” he heaves an overly dramatic sigh as he shakes his head, before finally taking a bite of the food. being someone who takes candids of his friends all the time, there’s no way he would actually be annoyed over someone doing the same to him, though he’s admittedly slightly surprised to see seung-gil do it. but phichit certainly doesn’t mind. he likes not being the only one documenting precious moments. 

“i hope you know–” phichit starts once he’s swallowed, “that since you’re my boyfriend, you have to make sure no one sees my bad angles. no spreading bad pictures of me on social media.” it’s said with a joking tone of course, and a smile that only turns fonder at the word boyfriend. 

this will be the first time the two of them spend so much time together as boyfriends, and they’ll most likely be around each other 24/7. the thought is exciting, though the tiniest part of phichit, hidden deep, deep down, is just slightly nervous. it’s not nearly enough to ruin things, nor does it show on his genuinely happy expression, because phichit doesn’t doubt that this month will be a good one. there’s nothing to be nervous about, he tells himself– it’s probably just guanghong and yuuri’s overthinking habits rubbing off on him. 

it’s a silly thing to be nervous over, really, because seung-gil is his boyfriend and he adores him, and he’s pretty sure that feeling is reciprocated. but spending night and day together means potentially seeing phichit during more vulnerable times, and if there’s something phichit is private about, it is those times, that side of him. perhaps it’s wrong of him to want to hide that from seung-gil but– 

it’s fine. he stops that train of thought there, instead focusing on this moment, eating dinner with seung-gil, enjoying good food and even better company. thinking about anything else would be a waste of precious time. “how’s the food?”

“Yes.” Seung-gil answers simply, finding no reason to lie. Besides the look on the other’s face told him that he already seemed to know the answer. He raised an eyebrow at the mention of having decided against asking him for a ‘selfie’ he honestly wouldn’t have minded it. As of late he had come rather accustomed to taking pictures since the other had always been so insistent that he take plenty since they were so far away from one another normally.

“You don’t have any bad angles, so you have nothing to worry about.” Seung-gil says matter-of-factly. He believed his own words completely, even the picture he had just taken, he still thought Phichit looked good. It of course never occurred to him that he was possibly bias. He had taken to admiring observing several of Phichit’s photos, memorizing absolutely everything. However, none of those pictures even remotely compared to seeing that warm smile in person.

He felt the vibration of his phone, notifying him that he had received a text, no doubt from Yuuri. Though Seung-gil made no move to get his phone, instead he found himself concentrating on the food in front of him. “Besides, I was only sending it to Yuuri, I assumed that you would like to be the one that posts about my visiting..” a soft pause, a moment of insecurity and uncertainty. “..That is if you want people to know that i’m here..”

Seung-gil suddenly found himself staring at the food on the table as if it was the most interesting thing in the entire room. He wasn’t entirely sure what to make of the emotion that had washed over him. Though he did his best to push it to the back of his mind to re-evaluate later. He had no reason to believe that Phichit would ever hide the fact that he was visiting, especially since the other seemed very open about their dating on social media..and yet.. The feelings of insecurity lingered.

Instead of focusing on it however, he chose to concentrate on the food. He carefully and cautiously took a few bites, trying various dishes, and each one was amazing. He was thoroughly impressed and found it all to be so different from what he was used to hat home, but still so good. He swallowed his last bite and glanced up at Phichit, managing a small nod. “It is delicious.”

@terraluminosa II Continued II Verse: Shall We Almavivo

Seung-gil had been concerned for Phichit from the moment of the first cough. He of course immediately brought it up to the other skater and how he should perhaps get some rest if he was starting to come down with something. Though the other had insisted that he was fine, much to Seung-gil’s disapproval. Seung-gil didn’t believe him for even a second and instead took to keeping an eye on the other, going as far as to keep track of every sniffle and cough.

His suspicions had been proven correct the next morning when it seemed the sickness had finally decided to hit him full force. Part of him had been worried that Phichit would still try to convince him that he was fine but thankfully Phichit decided to be reasonable and admit defeat. He offered a small smile as he gently sat down on the edge of the bed though he couldn’t help but wonder why Phichit felt the need to apologize. Though he of course didn’t get the chance to question it as the other drifted off to sleep.

Seung-gil sat there for a long while and watched as the other slept. It was the first time he had ever been around Phichit while he was ill and he couldn’t help but notice how vulnerable the other looked, a part of him couldn’t help but wonder if he looked the same when he was sick. Normally when others were sick, he took great care to avoid them, not wanting to risk getting sick himself. However, as he watched the other sleep he was filled with an overwhelming urge to take care of Phichit, to ensure he had everything he needed and that he was as comfortable as he possibly could be. It was in this moment that he made the decision to do just that.

“Chul..” he whispered to the husky that was resting on the floor, motioning for his dog to carefully get onto the bed. Chul of course immediately obeyed, jumping onto the bed and laying down near Phichit’s feet. With Phichit’s guard dog in place, Seung-gil got to his own feet, ensuring that Phichit was properly covered before bending down and kissing his boyfriend’s forehead. He noted the slight fever and moved to plug Phichit’s cell in and maneuvered it so that it could lay within arms reach of the sick skater just in case he woke up before Seung-gil got back.

Once out of the room Seung-gil went about making a number of calls. He canceled his own practice for the day as well as informed Phichit’s coach of his condition. Next was a call to his mother to ask for the recipe of the soup she always used to make him any time he was ill. With the recipe written down, next came a call to Phichit’s mother, asking about all the best ways to help a sick Phichit feel better. With all of his calls made, he brought Phichit a glass of water and placed it on the bedside before heading out for a run to the nearest grocery store. The trip itself was thankfully short since the store was just around the corner.

Once home he goes about starting the soup, knowing that the other could wake up at any moment. Seung-gil knew that Phichit probably wouldn’t have much of an interest in eating, but he was hoping to at least get a few bites into the other. Once the soup was finished he placed it on a tray, as well as a fresh cool glass of water.

Seung-gil made his way back into the bedroom, only to see that the other was already awake. “Yes, I got the recipe from my mother.” he admitted, as he moved closer. Seung-gil moved to sit down next to Phichit on the bed, ensuring that Phichit was up enough before placing the tray down before him.

“Your mother and Celestino both wished me to tell you that they hope you feel better soon.”

“ah, yeah, they know.” hiding their relationship would have been difficult given the selfies he had posted of them (or rather, the captions that accompanied those selfies, which made it pretty clear what their relationship was), but then again, phichit hadn’t been trying to hide anything. “my sisters found out because of that first picture i posted,” he admits sheepishly. “but i also told my parents later.” it hadn’t been a big deal, just something he had mentioned over breakfast. unsurprisingly, his parents had been nothing but supportive. 

“my mom demanded to know practically your entire life story. not to, like, make sure you’re a good person or something– she’s just very curious. i showed her some pictures of you and she said you’re very handsome, but that you should smile more.” a brief chuckle escapes him at that, the tone of his voice light. phichit has no doubt that the first meeting between seung-gil and his parents will go well. and if his mom ends up being too nosy, phichit is fully prepared to make sure she dials it down a notch. 

but before that, he gets to have seung-gil to himself for an entire night. admiring the adorable blush adorning seung-gil’s pale complexion, phichit finds that he certainly doesn’t mind that, even if all they do is sleep. perhaps he could sneak in some cuddles, though they’ll see about that later. for now, he’s happy to just have seung-gil here in his city.

as the waitress comes back with their orders, phichit has to release seung-gil’s hand again. with all of the dishes being relatively small, it doesn’t look like it’ll be too much, but phichit already knows that many of them can be quite filling, especially when paired with the rice on the side and, of course, a small bowl of papaya salad for each of them. 

“ah, i’m starving~!” phichit wastes no time in picking up his utensils so he can start picking out bits of just about everything. “just pick out what you want! there’s obviously some vegetables, but i’ll eat them, so don’t worry.” he gives brief introductions as he takes a little from each dish and puts it on his plate. “this one’s kind of spicy, but not too spicy– and if you want it to be spicier you can just dip it in this sauce. this is pork… and this is also pork but with a super good sauce, and these are obviously just fresh spring rolls. it’s mostly vegetables, so you can decide if you want to try them or not. and then we have papaya salad on the side, but it’s like 90% papaya and 10% sauces so it’s not like an actual salad.”

phichit briefly entertains the idea of taking a selfie with seung-gil in front of the food, but he decides he’s too hungry and tired, which he’s sure goes for seung-gil as well. selfies would have to wait for tomorrow, when both of them looked a little less exhausted. 

“let’s dig in!”

Seung-gil nodded softly, not at all surprised to hear that his sisters had found out about their relationship due to the other’s Instagram. Though he couldn’t quite stop the smile that formed at just the memory of their time in Hatsutsu. It had definitely been...interesting. He often found himself looking back on the whole trip, wondering if he could have seen any signs sooner so the two of them could of had more than just a day as a couple, or have done it in a way that left out his.. drunken mishap. A mishap that JJ has still yet to let him live down. 

There was a part of him that was relieved that Phichit’s family seemed to be so accepting, despite the current times not every family was still so.. accepting of people’s preferences when it came to who they wished to date. His own home country was quite the example of that, but at least Thailand was on the right track. “So I see..” he didn’t know what to make of the fact that the other’s mother wished to know everything about him, and part of him wanted to ask Phichit what he had told her, but instead he let it go. 

Though before he could comment more on the matter, their food had been brought out. In all honesty, somewhere down the line he had forgotten that they were at a restaurant waiting for their meal. He had been far too lost in their conversation that he had even forgotten about his own hunger. Though as it was all placed down in front of him, he was suddenly reminded of the fact that he was starving. 

With his hand free once more, he moved to rest it in his lap until all the food was placed in front of him. He found himself taking note of the few vegetables within some of the dishes, and he couldn't help but squint just a bit. He wondered if the other had forgotten that Seung-gil didn’t care for vegetables, but he didn’t bother to voice this thought. He was snapped out of his own thoughts as Phichit began to talk again, explaining a few of the dishes to him. Most of it honestly did quite sound appetizing to him. A small smile gracing his lips when Phichit promised to eat all the vegetables for him. 

So he hasn’t forgotten..

Thought before he digs into the food, he pulls out his own phone and goes about quickly opening up his camera and snapping a quick candid of Phichit, making sure it was angled enough so that some of the food was in the picture as well. With the picture taken, he quickly went about sending it to Yuuri. 

[ MSG Sent; Katsuki ]: img.jpg [ MSG Sent; Katsuki ]: You were right, he seems happy with the surprise visit. 

Once the texts were sent, he shoved his phone back into his pocket and picked up his own utensils. “It smells great.” he offers out, beginning to pile a few things onto his plate. Though he took great care to avoid the vegetables. 

[almcvivo]

terraluminosa‌:

“i’m sure chaokuay would love having someone to play with.” his smile softens just a tad before he continues, “and my family will love you.” gently, he strokes the back of seung-gil’s hand with his thumb, an action phichit hopes is comforting. his words are nothing but genuine as phichit already knows that seung-gil will be well-received by his family. they’ve always been very open people, and phichit has never heard them say anything bad about any of the friends he’s brought home. he can’t imagine them disliking someone like seung-gil– a person phichit obviously cherishes so much. “so try not to worry about it too much, alright?”

it’s easier said than done, phichit knows, but he wants to offer whatever comfort he can. he wants seung-gil to enjoy his stay to the fullest, and phichit is ready to take full responsibility for that to happen. 

the suggestion of him staying at the hotel catches him off-guard, smile briefly slipping away as an expression of surprise appears. it shouldn’t be surprising, they’re dating after all, but there are still so many things that phichit’s unsure about, lines that need to be crossed before they can even be discovered, questions that will be answered before he can even formulate them. his two previous relationships offer no guidelines for how to date seung-gil, but he doesn’t mind. they’ll figure out their relationship together, and phichit has to admit he enjoys learning so much about seung-gil every step of the way. 

“of course i’ll stay with you. for chul’s sake.” there’s a teasing tone to his words, matching his cheeky little smile. phichit may not be an expert on how to read seung-gil just yet, but the request is more than transparent enough for him to understand the true motive. it’s something phichit wants as well– wanting to spend as much time together as possible– but unlike seung-gil, he doesn’t bother covering it up. “it’d be nice to spend the night together. it’s been so long since i last saw you.” 

he has no ulterior motives of course– phichit has every intention of sleeping through the entirety of the night, but that doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy seung-gil’s company by his side, and be the first to greet him in the morning. “we can go right to the hotel after this, so you can get some rest.” and truthfully, phichit is quite tired as well, having put in a lot of effort during practice. “i’ll just borrow something from you to sleep in– if that’s alright?”

Seung-gil manages a bit of a nod when the other attempts to reassure him that Phichit’s family will like him. Despite the encouragement, he found himself still a bit unsure of it all. Then again Phichit seemed to be fond of him, and it would stand to reason that Phichit’s family would have a similar mindset. However it did little to calm his nerves on the matter, though he did his best to not over think it.

 “Do they know?... About us?” He was hesitant to even ask such a question. Though now that he tried to recall, he couldn’t even remember if Phichit had ever mentioned telling his family that they were dating, but then again they were all over one another’s social media and if any of his family was even half as adept at social media as Phichit then it would be impossible to have it kept a secret. Though he had never thought to ask, it honestly never even occurred to him. 

Seung-gil found himself studying the other’s face carefully as he waited for the other’s answer about staying at his hotel for the night. He thought it was a reasonable request, especially since the other had just offered up his own home for Seung-gil to stay at for the remainder of his vacation. He highly doubted that he would be getting his own room at the Chulanont home, the family seemed too large for such a thing. Not that he minded at all, the idea of sharing such an intimate space with Phichit.... was appealing. 

Normally he was against such closeness, tending to like to have his own space.. somewhere quiet and alone where he can recharge. Having been someone who has lived in his own place for quite some time, it had always been how he liked it. However, despite the fact that most of their dating had been done long distance, the idea of sharing his personal space with Phichit sounded quite appealing. He was capable of being himself around Phichit, so much so that it didn’t ever feel exhausting to be around the other, like it was when he had to interact with other skaters. 

He was relieved when the other agreed to spend the night with him at his hotel, he had let out a breath that he hadn’t even realized he had been holding. He gave a soft nod, knowing full well that the other had seen right through his motives. There was a small blush that spread across his cheeks, but for the most part he wasn’t all that embarrassed. He knew that so many elements of their relationship was still so new, but he was hoping that this trip would change that a bit. 

He was still so new to dating, Phichit was his first relationship, a fact that he never really liked to admit all that much. Though most had already assumed as such, it was no secret despite how much he did his best to keep his private life...well private. However the idea of sharing a bed with the other, just sleeping.. it sounded like a good place to start in shaking away whatever awkward and new may still be present in their current relationship. 

“I would like that very much..” he was sure the other was eager to show him more of the city, but it would have to wait just a bit longer. He needed a proper nights sleep before he could be dragged around for what he was sure was a whole month worth of selfies and sight seeing. Not that he minded, he had actually been looking forward to it... not that he would admit it. “Of course, I am sure I can find something suitable for you to wear.” 

[almcvivo]

terraluminosa‌:

it felt only natural to offer seung-gil a place to stay, even if he already had one. phichit was nothing if not a kind host, be it within the four walls of his home or in the entire city of bangkok. the handful of times any foreign friends had come to visit, he always made sure to help them have as much fun as possible, while also making sure they lived comfortably. seung-gil deserves all that special treatment and more– not just because phichit wants him to enjoy bangkok, but because he simply wants to care for him, show him how much he means to him, and perhaps spoil him rotten in the process. 

and if they have one month, then phichit definitely has lots of time to shower seung-gil in affection. “an entire month?” he repeats the words with a bright smile on his face, as if he can’t believe just how lucky he is to get to be around seung-gil for so long. he knows that time will pass in the blink of an eye, much faster than it should be allowed to, but for now, phichit relishes in the thought of getting to enjoy seung-gil’s presence.

“if chul is here too then i definitely can’t let you live in a hotel– not for an entire month.” but truthfully, phichit would have insisted on seung-gil staying at his place nonetheless, even if he had traveled without chul and only been there for a short period of time. “my house has a pretty big backyard where he can run around. chaokuay is there too of course, but she’s super friendly. and also like, really small compared to chul.” he couldn’t forget about his family’s own dog, a small mutt they had rescued from the streets a couple of years ago– and there’s his hamsters too of course, which phichit can’t wait to introduce seung-gil to. 

his gaze lands on seung-gil’s hand resting on the table, and as if on instinct, phichit reaches over to wrap his hand around the other’s. the action is done before he can even properly process it, but it feels so right, he doesn’t bother questioning himself. and besides, seung-gil had been the one to grab phichit’s hand earlier, surely that must mean that hand-holding is something they can comfortably do now. 

“my family wouldn’t mind, so don’t worry. they’ve all been dying to meet you, really, and my sister’s gonna go nuts when she sees you brought chul– just don’t be offended if she pays more attention to him than you.” he adds the last bit jokingly as, if he knows seung-gil right, he’s pretty sure seung-gil won’t mind having one person less focused on him.

giving seung-gil’s hand a gentle squeeze, phichit’s smile softens. “but we can leave the introductions for tomorrow. you’re probably tired and my family can be… a lot to handle.” phichit loves them all dearly, but even he knows they’re a handful. he wouldn’t want to push all of that onto seung-gil when he’s so obviously tired. 

Seung-gil gives a bit of a nod when the other repeats the words back to him. “Yes, I thought a month would be...” he paused trying to find the right words. “..an appropriate amount of time.” In truth he had honestly just picked the longest amount of time that the Thai government would allow him to stay in the country as a guest without requiring a visa. Though for some reason he didn’t really want to admit such a thing, at least not right this moment. 

He couldn’t help the small smile that formed on his lips as the other seemed to have a fondness for his dog without having ever actually met him. He nodded a bit, finding no reason to argue with the other’s logic. He of course had done quite a bit of research on his current hotel, ensuring that it was a safe place for Chul, but he saw no reason to mention any of that. The hotel did lack a backyard, and though Seung-gil’s own place didn’t have a yard, he was entirely sure that Chul would benefit from one. 

“Chul is well behaved around other dogs, and he is neutered so there shouldn’t be any concern there.” He was entirely sure that Chul would get along with Phichit’s family dog, since he often left him with a dog sitter who had other dogs and he was always informed that his dog plays well with others. He had been worried about bringing his dog along on the trip, but the idea of leaving him behind for a whole consecutive month was... too much, for Chul of course. 

Seung-gil was surprised when the other reached across the table to take his hand, but he also found himself greatly relieved. There was just something.. comforting about the simple gesture, and though he didn’t feel too anxious at the moment, it made him feel better that the could actually do something like this. To have a conversation with one another, and actually touch instead of being miles away. 

He listens as Phichit begins to talk about his family, and though he finds himself incredibly unsure at the idea of meeting them.. he knew it was inevitable if he was going to continue to date Phichit. He knew the importance they all held to Phichit.. that alone was enough to make him feel...worried about meeting them, due to the fact that he had been told several times that he is quite unlikable. It was a fact that normally never bothered him, he preferred the solitude, but.. the idea of Phichit’s family not liking him.. well it didn’t quite sit well with him. 

“Most prefer Chul over myself.. so I would not be offended.” he states simply. Anyone who preferred dogs over humans were quite alright with him. However despite the reassurances he felt a familiar pang of... uneasiness build up inside of him at the very thought of meeting the other’s family. However his desire to spend as much time with Phichit as possible seemed to be outweighing it all. 

He is relieved when the other says that the introductions could wait for the next day, he needed a good night’s sleep first. He had to be at his peak if he was going to try and be polite enough to hopefully win over Phichit’s family. A thought that still felt foreign and new to him all together, though he pushed it aside to analyze later. “Would you.. be willing to stay at the hotel with me tonight? So I could.. properly introduce you to Chul.” It felt awkward to make such a request, in all honesty he just didn’t want to waste even one night without Phichit despite how tired he was. Using Chul was a cover and he knew it, but he was hoping that it would be one that worked in his favor.

phichit is still learning how to read seung-gil. they may have been together for a couple of months now, but when most of that time has been spent in their own countries, communicating through video chats that left much to be desired, it’s difficult to pick up on slight nuances in facial expressions. seung-gil’s expressions are often fairly easy to read, especially if he’s annoyed or dislikes something (or someone), but this expression seemed more like– like he was thinking too hard, like spacing out and concentrating at the same time.

it hits phichit then, that seung-gil must be tired, and that this is not the ideal time to be prattling on and on about the multitude of options they have. even if the plane ride itself isn’t unbearably long (and phichit has looked up flights from bangkok to seoul enough times to know how many hours the journey takes), it’s still exhausting. packing, security checks, making sure you’ve remembered anything– it requires a lot of time and concentrating, and for seung-gil, phichit knows that all the social interaction is draining as well. 

perhaps it’d be best if phichit held back on the excitement a little bit. he knows well how overwhelming a foreign city can be, especially one in a country with a completely unfamiliar language. “okay, leave it to me.” the waitress comes over and phichit orders several dishes, as well as two plates of rice. he’d rather order too much food than too little, so they could bring any leftovers home.

the waitress leaves again and phichit turns back to seung-gil. “so, mr. great act of romance,” he starts, his smile only slightly teasing. “i seriously still cannot believe you’re right here. i can’t believe you didn’t tell me. how long are you staying here– wait, where are you staying?” the last question is perhaps a little dumb, as phichit can easily take a guess at the answer. seung-gil isn’t the type of person to barge into someone’s home, especially on a surprise visit. 

without giving seung-gil time to reply, he continues. “you should stay at my place– you know, if you want to.” had it perhaps been someone else, phichit would have said the statement a bit more forcefully, leaving no room for argument– but it’s boyfriend, and bringing him home means bringing seung-gil to meet his family as well, which felt… serious? not a bad kind of serious, as phichit wants nothing more than for all the people he loves to meet and get along, but it would certainly be some sort of milestone in their relationship, and he wants seung-gil to have a say in the matter too. 

There is a part of Seung-gil that chastises himself a bit for not having taken the time to learn more about the food in Bankok. To be perfectly honest he had been far too preoccupied with other preparations, had even looking into the local dog food in case the supply he had brought with him for Chul wouldn’t be enough. Yet when it came to the food he would need to eat, he hadn’t thought much of it, instead deciding that he would leave it to Phichit. He trusted the other’s judgement when it came to food, and besides the other was always talking about all the things that he wanted Seung-gil to try, so he honestly hadn’t been expected to be given options like this. 

He finds himself relieved when the other seemed to understand at least enough to just order for the both of them. They had talked about their tastes in food enough time through video chat that he was sure whatever the other picked out for them would be sufficient. “Thank you.” he offers a small, yet tired smile. It was really beginning to sink in just how exhausted he truly was from the traveling. He remained quiet as Phichit ordered their food, only mildly concerned at the fact that it seemed like and awful lot of food. 

However his attention was brought back to the other, his nose scrunching a bit at the nickname. He could only hope that wouldn’t stick. He gave a bit of a nod, rather relieved that the other still seemed pleased with his visit rather than inconvenienced or irritated. Seung-gil himself had never been a fan of surprise visits in any sort.. though the idea of Phichit surprising him with such a thing.. didn’t really sound as unappealing.

“It was difficult to keep the secret from you.. I will admit.” So much had gone into planning his trip, and it would have been far easier if he had been able to ask Phichit his opinion about certain things. Though despite the difficulties he had endured in order to assure that the trip was a surprise, it had been worth it in the end. He waits for the other to finish all of his line of questioning, finding himself rather familiar with how Phichit thinks, he has long mastered when it’s best to actually answer the barrage of questions he was being given. 

There was a part of him that knew he shouldn’t be all that surprised that the other was offering to let him stay at his place, and yet he was surprised at how quickly the offer had come. He had a feeling that the other would eventually request that they stay together since he was going to be visiting for a whole month, which was why he had only booked his hotel for a week, with the intent on adding to it as needed. Yet he found himself staring at the other just a bit surprised, taking longer than he should to respond. 

Eventually he snaps himself out of it, finally nodding a bit. “Chul and I will be staying for an entire month.” he explains softly, pausing for a moment. “I do not want to inconvenience you or your family...” he trails off, knowing that he wants to accept the offer. The urge to reach out and touch Phichit almost consuming him again, he rested a hand on the table, it twitching almost as he ignored the urge to try and hold the other’s hand from across the table. The last thing he wanted to do was seem far to clingy within the first few hours of them being reunited. 

“However if you insist.. than I accept.” he offers a small smile, not caring that he would probably not get a refund for the week he had booked in the hotel.

phichit hadn’t even thought about the fact that seung-gil had traveled for several hours right before getting here. now that he was slowly getting used to seung-gil’s presence, it was starting to sink in just how much effort this meeting had required. “i can’t believe you just– you actually flew all the way over here for me.” he aches for some kind of physical closeness again, but before he can even figure out if he should ask before doing anything, he feels seung-gil’s hand take one of his own. the bright smile on his face turns fond, his gaze warm in a surprisingly unguarded way. phichit doesn’t know how he’ll ever be able to express how grateful and touched he is by seung-gil’s visit, but he figures he can start by taking care of his hunger first.

“one of my favorite restaurants is close by. i’m going to make sure you get to try the best food bangkok has to offer– including my own cooking, of course, but we can take that another day.” his tone turns a little cheeky towards the end, though he does have confidence in his cooking skills, and not without reason. “there are so many restaurants i have to take you to– and food stalls! and markets, and just– everything. i have to show you everything.”

he leads the way, out in the bright streets of the city. even with the all the noise and pollution, phichit has always loved bangkok, always enjoyed the atmosphere. he’d always been satisfied living here, but now that he has seung-gil by his side, their fingers laced together, phichit finally feels complete. somehow, the lights around them shine even brighter, the fragrant smells from food stalls even more compelling, and phichit doesn’t even care that he’s being cheesy, because this must be it. this must be what being in love feels like. 

he leads them up into the second floor of a building, into a restaurant so hidden, it was a miracle anyone even found their way there. phichit, of course, has been there so many times that the waitress showing them their table recognizes him. once seated, phichit wastes no time in opening one of the menus to show seung-gil his favorites, pointing at pictures as he names some dishes. “the food here is like, home-cooked style, so it’s not very fancy, but it’s super good. i really like their khao kha moo and khao moo daeng, oh, and guay tiew lui suan.” perhaps he’s talking too much, but there’s no way he can hold back his excitement. “are there any dishes you think look good?”

Seung-gil is relieved that the other didn’t seem mind his need for physical contact. It was a simple display of affection that didn’t bother him in the slightest when they were out in public. If he was entirely honest, it was actually a great comfort to him. To know that the other was right there, actually right next to him.. it was comforting in ways that he didn’t quite understand. The flight had definitely been...trying, mostly due to the fact that he had been placed next to an elderly woman who felt the need to talk to him the entirety of the flight, regardless of how rude he was to her. 

“As long as it doesn’t contain vegetables I’m willing to try whatever it is you wish.” he admits, though there is a small concern that he may come to regret those words. He honestly had no idea how the cuisine here would sit with his digestive system. If all went well it shouldn’t be too much of a difficulty. At the mention of trying Phichit’s cooking, he perked up just a little at the thought. He had of course heard many stories about the Thai skater’s cooking, and seen quite a few pictures of the ending result and it always did look particularly appetizing. 

He couldn’t help but smile at just how excited the other seemed about showing him everything that Bangkok had to offer. He knew full well that he was about to be dragged around over the entire city by the time the month is up, and he found himself rather relieved that he had made the vacation a whole month rather than a week or two like more standard vacations tended to be. “I am curious to see all of these places you talk so highly of.” he admits. 

Seung-gil let’s himself be led out of the ice rink and back onto the loud streets. Blinking a bit, he walked along side the other, not paying much mind to the direction they were actually walking. He was content to just be alongside the other, and taking in ‘the sights’ as it were. When he had been heading over to his hotel and then the ice rink he had been far too focused on not getting lost to really appreciate any of it. The city seemed to have quite a unique charm to it, definitely held a different atmosphere than Seoul. 

There is a moment of concern as he was led up a flight of stairs, into a building that didn’t much look like a restaurant, but once inside it was clear to see that it was in fact one. He found himself blinking a few times, brows furrowed as he tried to piece together how a place so hidden managed to stay in business. He took note of the fact that the waitress seemed to know who Phichit was, making it clear that this was in fact a place that the other seemed to frequent. 

Once seated, he took a deep breath and let himself relax just a little. He had been so lost in his own thoughts that he almost didn’t notice that Phichit was talking to him. Blinking, he managed a small nod as he picked up his own menu and began to look it over. He didn’t understand any of the words, realizing now that he probably should have learned some of the names of different food ingredients when he had been learning a few phrases. 

Seung-gil found himself squinting at the pictures the menu far too close to his face as he tried to analyze everything that was in a dish by staring at the picture. He can hear Phichit talking to him, but he wasn’t listening. It wasn’t that he was trying to ignore him or anything of the sort.. he was just far too concentrated on trying to figure out his order and determined to do it on his own. However the probability that he would order something that he wouldn’t like was far too high for him to risk it. 

This of course lead to him placing the menu down in a bit of a frustrated huff, staring at Phichit, practically pleading for help with his eyes alone. “Phichit.. I..” he really didn’t want to admit that he had no idea what any of this said out loud, the idea of making it how painfully foreign all of this was to him was not something he desired to do. “You are the expert.. how about you choose something for me.” Yes. Perfect cover.

normally, phichit wasn’t one for overly physical displays of affection in public either– at least not the romantic kind. he didn’t mind holding hands, linking arms and hugging, but seeing as he did those things with his friends too, phichit had never considered them to be romantic and over the top. he just enjoyed being physically close to the people who meant the most to him. kissing, however, was on a different level. even back in high school, when he’d been in a couple of relationships, kissing had been reserved for private moments, hidden behind buildings were no teacher or classmates could find them. 

but strangely enough, even if there are still a couple of people around, phichit wants to kiss seung-gil now. the rink is mostly quiet, with only a couple other skaters on the ice, and a handful of staff members milling about– it’s private enough (or, a voice in phichit’s mind starts, maybe you’re just so desperate to kiss him that you don’t care if you’re alone or not).

subconsciously, he holds his breath as seung-gil hand touches his face. phichit feels excited and nervous all at once, and he blames both of the emotions on seung-gil. with how serious the two of them look, one would have thought this was a goodbye kiss rather than a kiss to celebrate their reunion. it feels like the little knowledge phichit had about relationships is slowly melting away, the solid ground beneath him disappearing, until he’s stuck somewhere between falling and floating. it’s scary and exciting and perfect– just like the feel of seung-gil’s lips on his own. 

the kiss is gentle and soft, exactly what phichit had needed. some would probably call it tame, but phichit finds passion in how fond the kiss is, how gentle seung-gil’s hand on his cheek is. he doesn’t feel nervous anymore, he only feels loved.

as he pulls away, a bright smile blossoms across his features. it’s tempting to just run away from practice so he can hold onto seung-gil forever, show him all his favorite places in bangkok, introduce him to his family, oh gosh, this was going to be wonderful– but first, he’d have to put all his efforts into the last hour of practice so it would pass as quickly as possible. 

“i’ll do my best then.” he’s about to turn to the ice again when he changes his mind, placing one last quick kiss on seung-gil’s cheeks before jogs away, not looking back at his boyfriend. despite his mind being preoccupied with seung-gil, he doesn’t feel like it’ll distract him from skating. if anything, he feels re-energized, ready to show both ciao ciao and seung-gil how determined he is. 

the rest of practice goes smoothly, and after a couple of more tries, he nails the triple axel– the jump he had messed up earlier. he makes sure to do the cool down exercises, though it’s obvious in his movements that he’s a little impatient to get off the ice. soon enough, he’s hurried off to the wardrobes to freshen up and get changed, before jogging back out to seung-gil.

“thank you for waiting!” he chirps, bag slung over his shoulder. his muscles feel sore, just like they do after every practice, but in a comfortable and familiar way– but the excitement over getting to be with seung-gil again makes him forget everything else. “wanna go grab something to eat? so i can properly interrogate you about your stay here.”

Seung-gil gave a soft nod, though he was a little surprised by the kiss that was placed on his cheek. He watched the other retreat back to the ice, a hand coming up to touch the spot on his cheek where the other had kissed. It had been such a sudden thing, over before he had ever saw it coming.. and yet it wasn’t unpleasant.. in fact it was quite the opposite. 

He remained in his seat as he watched the other make it back to the ice and continue on with his practice. Despite the longing to have Phichit’s attention, he found himself content enough to just watch the other skate. He of course analyzed every move the other skater made, figuring out what the other’s potential score would be with relative ease. The math calmed him, it always had.. being able to do the equations instead of letting raw emotion overwhelm him. 

Though he was on vacation he had brought his own skates as well, hoping that he could get permission to skate at the rink as well while Phichit practiced so he didn’t interrupt the other’s daily life too much. Besides the idea of getting to skate on the same ice as the other again.. it was something he dreamed to do, not that he would so readily admit such a thing. 

The hour seemed to drag on, though he didn’t complain. When it was finally up he watched as Phichit make his way off the ice and disappear into the wardrobes. He stood up, stretching a little since he had spent several hours on a plane only to sit an extra hour on the bench. He finds himself fidgeting a little, making sure that his shirt and jacket sat just right. Thankfully it wasn’t long before Phichit appeared again, that bright smile on his face. 

At the suggestion of food, he could feel his stomach growl. “That would be.. desirable, the airplane food was less than filling.” he admits, standing there a bit awkwardly for a moment, before moving in closer so he could take Phichit’s hand in his own, lacing their fingers together. He needed some sort of contact with the other, craving it ever since the other had moved away from the hug earlier. 

“Lead the way..”

phichit had known before they started dating that a long distance relationship would be difficult. they did their best to video call and send messages throughout the day, and thanks to their almost perfectly synced up time zones, it wasn’t too difficult, even with their busy schedules. still, with the distance keeping them apart physically, phichit ached to be near seung-gil– but it’s not until he’s clinging to him that he realizes just how much he had missed him.

he pulls back just enough so that he can see seung-gil’s face, arms still around him. his smile is already big enough to make his cheeks hurt, and he can’t help but laugh at the other’s words. “you got relationship advice from viktor and yuuri?” it’s adorable, that’s the only way phichit can describe the gesture. months ago, before they went to hasetsu, he would have never expected himself to describe anything that had to do with seung-gil as adorable, but now, phichit finds that it’s the only appropriate word. 

a part of him wants to kiss seung-gil right then and there, press their lips together passionately like all the couples in movies do, but their relationship still feels new and this is the first time they’ve seen each other since hasetsu. they may have been talking to each other frequently between then and now, but with the absence of actual touch, it feels like their relationship is still further behind in terms of physical affection. phichit isn’t quite bold enough to do anything more than hug seung-gil again, burying his face in the other’s shoulder, though the action is no less filled with affection. 

“it is indeed an act of great romance,” phichit says, voice colored by laughter and fondness. “i’ll have to thank them later for giving you such great advice.” a loud cough pulls phichit back to earth again, and he looks behind him at the source– ciao ciao, who was being kind enough to keep his back to them, while also reminding phichit that he technically wasn’t done for the day. “crap, okay, uh, i still got like an hour left of practice.” he looks at seung gil again, searching the other’s gaze for something. maybe he could…

     …ah, he really is beautiful. 

“can i get a– good luck kiss?” the words are meant to be slightly teasing, but his voice is far too quiet, expression too vulnerable. “you know, so i can nail that jump i messed up.”

Seung-gil never thought he would be in this situation, actually in a romantic relationship with someone that he truly cared about. He had always sworn off love, thinking it a waste of time.. and yet when he looked into those dark sparkling eyes that belonged to Phichit.. well it made the reality of his situation quite difficult to ignore. At first the long distance of their relationship hadn’t bothered him too much, finding that the video calls and other various forms of communication were more than enough.. but as the months went by he found himself... yearning for more. 

It was one of the reasons that he had decided that he was overdue for a visit to Thailand. He had never been of course, and normally he was never one for vacations, finding that his skating career always came first. Though for the first time in his life he found himself letting something else have priority, or rather someone. He took his first vacation ever in his entire career, and surprisingly enough his coach didn’t seem.. too displeased about it. He could only assume it had something to do with her desire for him to open up and be more friendly with others. 

There was a soft smile on his lips, small but still very much there. “Well.. I had asked Yuuri, but Viktor had forcibly inputted his opinion since he happened to be overhearing. It was a common occurrence he had notice, one that often irritated him more than anything else. However it would seem that this one time it had worked out in his favor, since it was clear that a surprise visit had been the best option. Though whether or not he would tell Viktor that.. remained to be seen. 

When he heard the cough, he couldn’t help but feel a sinking feeling in his stomach. He knew what it meant, that the other needed to go.. to leave his arms...and yet Seung-gil found himself not wanting to let go. There was the smallest part of him that wanted Phichit to decide that he didn’t need the last hour of his practice, to instead stay with him..but he didn’t voice the thought. Instead he only nodded, the smile falling away with the reality that he would need to let the other return to practice. 

“Of course.” he agreed, knowing it was important. It took everything in him to let his arms fall away from the other,letting them fall back to his sides. He reminded himself that it was only an hour, and if he could wait as long as he had.. he could manage one more hour. There was a part of him that utterly hated this flood of emotion, it made it so difficult to think clearly. So much so that he had almost missed the other’s question, just barely catching the tail end of it. 

He stared at the other for a moment, processing the request. It was simple enough, one that he should easily be able to comply with since they had been dating for quite a few months. However so much of that had been long distance, so something this simple still seemed awkward and new. He wasn’t fooled by the teasing way it was asked, the other’s voice was far too quiet and vulnerable sounding to simply just be his normal teasing attitude. Normally he was against public displays of affection, however... he was willing to make an exception..for Phichit. 

He raised a hand up, moving to cup Phichit’s cheek a thumb gently brushing over the other’s warm skin. His gaze meeting the other skater’s, before flickering down and glancing at his lips. They were as beautiful as he remembered.. they looked so soft and inviting. Kissing had never been his strong suit, always done better while drunk.. despite the fact that it often turned into a disaster afterwards. Though with a deep breath, he leaned in closing the gap between them, his lips pressing against Phichit’s as his eyes fluttered closed. 

For once in his life he didn’t analyze every second of it, instead he just enjoyed the moment. It was then he realized just how much he had missed being so far away. To feel the other’s warm lips pressed against his own in such a passionate, yet soft manner. Finally he forced himself to break away, knowing that if he didn’t stop then.. there was a chance he wasn’t going to be able to let the other go back to the ice. 

Pulling away fully, letting his hand fall he blinked a few times and offered a small smile. “Good luck, I’ll be watching.”

it’s a good day for practice. it’s not perfect, but phichit feels good; enjoys the artificial chill of the rink as he glides across the ice, listens to every piece of advice ciao ciao has to offer him, pushing himself till he feels his muscles ache in the best way possible. he pays no attention to the people going in and out of the rink, focusing only on himself, and occasionally, ciao ciao. not all the jumps are perfect, but phichit doesn’t let it get to him. he wouldn’t get anywhere if he got discouraged by every failed jump. 

when he’s out of breath and sweaty, ciao ciao announces break time, and phichit wastes no time in skating to the barrier to get his water bottle. it’s only after a brief talk with his coach that phichit takes a moment to check his cellphone, expression immediately lighting up as he sees the text notification. however, after reading the message, his eyebrows furrow in confusion as he tries to decipher the meaning. 

that last jump…? phichit briefly thinks that seung gil’s analyzing clips of his routines again, but the wording of the text makes him believe there must be another explanation. 

[ MSG Sent; 💖babe💖 ]: ??? [ MSG Sent; 💖babe💖 ]: what jump???

still with confusion painted on his face, phichit looks up from his phone. he feels a bit silly, letting his gaze wander over his surroundings because there’s no way seung-gil is actually there at the rink, and even checking for him is just going to end in disappointment– 

but it doesn’t. because suddenly he spots seung-gil, sitting on the benches, blending into the surroundings as if he’s meant to be there and not thousands of miles away in a different country. “seu–” it’s as if every single part of his body responds at once, so shocked and confused he’s left choking on the name, wide-eyed as his feet remember how to move again– and once he’s moving, he’s fast, scrambling off the ice and towards his boyfriend. 

“seung-gil, what the hell– how are you even– why–” his mouth moves before his mind can actually form the questions he wants to ask, but phichit doesn’t care enough to correct himself. instead, he all but flings himself at seung-gil, hugging him like his life depends on it. 

Seung-gil is patient, deciding that the text was sufficient enough in announcing his presence there. He had no intentions of interrupting Phichit’s practice, he was more than content to sit and watch for the time being. There was a certain pang in his chest as he watched the other skater, this being the first time he has seen him in person since that day at the airport. It was a feeling.. that he couldn’t quite put to words..longing perhaps? 

He of course heard when Phichit’s coach had called for a break, and for a brief moment he made eye contact with the man. It was in this moment they shared a look of understanding, one that would hopefully ensure the coach not pointing him out to Phichit. Seung-gil watched as the other moved to drink water and eventually check his phone.. all the while he could feel his heart pounding, though he was unsure of why. 

Of course he hadn’t realized that he had inched to the very edge of his seat as he watched Phichit reach for his cellphone. He had absolutely no reason to be anxious, having been thoroughly convinced that this was in fact a good idea and that he had nothing to worry about. So why was it that he felt so.....Nervous? 

Shaaaalll weee Ska-

His text tone had blared, making the korean skater jump as he quickly scrambled to silence his cellphone. He stared down at the messages for a moment, a small smile on his face. Instead of responding, he just patiently waited and it wasn’t long before he was spotted by Phichit. Seung-gil watched as the other moved to him, quite honestly faster than he had ever remembered seeing the Thai skater move. 

He hadn’t even gotten the chance to stand up before the other had practically flung himself at Seung-gil. The skater managed to catch him, wrapping his arms around Phichit and keeping him close. It was then he realized just how much he had missed being able to do this.. to touch Phichit rather than just stare at him through a screen. 

“I flew on a plane.” he answers simply, though there was the smallest of smiles placed on his lips. “I am told.. that surprise visits are an act of great romance.” he answers simply, seeing no reason to lie about his reasoning. “I wanted to..inform you of my intent to visit, but Viktor and Yuuri said it was better this way.”

@terraluminosa II Semi-Plotted Starter II Verse: Shall We Almavivo

He wasn’t entirely sure how he had let Viktor and Yuuri convince him that this was a good idea, yet there he was finding himself in Thailand for the first time. It was uncharacteristic of him to just show up anywhere without either being invited or informing the person of his intentions. However he had been told that to show up for a surprise visit would be an ‘act of great romance’, and to be perfectly honest he was still lacking in the department. 

He had taken great care to ensure that he knew at least a few phrases in Thai so that he would be able to navigate around Bangkok enough to get where he needed to be. The skater had managed to find his way to his hotel, (though finding one that was dog friendly had been.. difficult) and dropped Chul off, ensuring that his husky was situated and comfortable before making his way to ‘Imperial World’. 

Seung-gil knew Phichit’s schedule well enough to know that the other would still be in the middle of practice around this time. He had timed it this way so as to not ruin the surprise of his visit. He made his way inside, finding it not to be as difficult as he would expected since the staff seemed to know who he was. Quietly he made his way to one of the bench stands on the side of the rink, taking care to not interrupt the practice that was taking place. 

Once seated, he found himself just quietly watching Phichit skate around the ice. Without even realizing it he found himself analyzing the point value of the current routine that the other skater was practicing. He had almost forgotten that he was suppose to be surprising the other, though eventually he snapped out of it. He debated on waiting for the other to be done with his practice, but instead he found himself pulling out his phone and going through the all to familiar motions to text the other. 

[ MSG Sent;  내 사랑 ]: That last jump would have earned you a deduction of one. Perhaps you should practice it a bit more if you plan to perform it at a competition.
