This what I want more of in BL. Lifts and counter kisses. Please. @absolutebl I swear we have gotten so many counter lift kisses lately...

The amount that I love these two idiots is basically impossible to describe but I love them so much.

[heretherebedork]

The romance of their hands. Imaginary engagement rings and tender comfort and the love of family and the support of everyone around them... it's just so wonderful.

Bonus: Ashi examining his invisible, imaginary engagement ring

Ashi pulling Punn's shirt is still a treat.

Muang sees it, Ashi sees the care, but all Punn sees is this level of nerves he has and this fear of overstepping and of being too much and of letting his love over rule his common sense when the truth is that Ashi wants that love and care. Not from Wan but from Punn.

Punn misinterpreting Ashi talking about his personal life staying separate from Wan as also staying separate from him is painful because he might love Ashi for an old kindness but he can't see that Ashi might care for him for that same kind of kindness because he still sees Ashi's fame before he sees him as a person.

Because it isn't that he forgot who Ashi really is. It's that he is now forgetting that Ashi isn't just a movie star and celebrity but also a person who said he wanted to be taken care of by someone.

Because he's inviting you into it, Punn! Ashi is inviting you into his life and he's trying to do it slowly and he's just looking for more people to care about and to care about him. And that's hard when you're a celebrity.

I love Punn's mom. She is going on my list of 'best moms of all time' and she is staying there forever. I adore her. Just look at her! Just listen to her! She's got Punn's back and she knows both her sons and she understands them both. And Pai might try to bring what he considers realism to his brother but she won't let him bring them down.

And then Ashi followed him home. Well, went to the coffee shop that he knows Punn's family owns.

A bright spot of orange amidst the blue of Punn's family but also the sweater feels just a bit too big and he feels just a bit too small despite the fact that we know he's a famous movie star and that he's here to dissuade Punn of any thoughts of giving him more space. And it's beautiful.

This is so great to see because the miscommunication is coming from a place of love and worry rather than maliciousness or stupidity. It's about kindness.

They are so absolutely romantic and sweet and I love it so much. My baby boys!

[heretherebedork]

Look, Muang, I get what you mean but this is absolutely the cruelest way you could have said it to Ashi.

But also I get why he said it. He absolutely saw the pain Punn was in and how Ashi was taking a lot of things for granted

Because Muang knows this side of Punn better than Ashi does because Punn tries to hide this side of himself from Ashi because of how much he loves him.

I want to bottle this look and the way Ashi just leans over him and stares at him like his heart is being broken and built at the same time. Ashi loves Punn so much. And he's realizing it as much as it scares him to realizes, as much as he fears this idea of loving someone this much again he still loves him that much.

He loves him enough to go see him when he's drunk and drive them together to the ocean, to drive them into the sunrise and the start of a new day through the darkness.

He's so dramatic and darling about it.
