There is no announcement needed for ForthBeam finally being official. All the first years had already decided that they are a thing before they were anyway.

Kongpob sighs in annoyance in his room on Saturday morning when he accidentally stumbles upon Forth's update. "The history just keeps repeating itself," he mumbles.

(A/N: and who is responsible, my dear Kong?)

"What is it?" Arthit sits beside Kongpob on the bed after taking a shower.

"Uhm... just the matter of the Head Hazer getting a boyfriend," Kongpob says and tries to lock his phone but Arthit saw a glimpse of the picture.

"Hey, I wanna see too."

Kongpob gulps. He doesn't want Arthit to read the comments section but... Arthit always gets what he wants.

Kongpob's phone is now in Arthit's possession. He blinks seeing the comment section.

"The troubled freshman always gets the Head Hazer."

"Who's the wife now? The Head Hazer or the freshman?"

"Yeay! New Love Legends!!!"

Arthit looks at Kongpob. "What is this?"

Kongpob gulps. "This year's Head Hazer just got himself a boyfriend."

"The freshman?"

Kongpob gulps. He nods.

Arthit keeps browsing the comment section. "Then why do they call him Dr. Beam? And what's with the Moon courting Moon thing? And what with the no Moon thing too?"

"He is supposed to be a third year Medical student. But because he wanted to seek backup from the gang of Engineering students for him to be able to freely fuck around without getting killed by the other gangs of jealous boyfriends, he decided to roll as a freshman in Engineering and joined the SOTUS.

As part of SOTUS signature tasks, Forth, the current Head Hazer asked him to say I love you to him when Beam tried to get his signature and even replied with I love you too, Nong. On the way, he got chosen as the Moon of Engineering and Forth helped Beam a lot during his Moon gathering... that's how the Moon courting Moon happened.

Aaaand... I don't know why, but the supposed to be Med kid who always keeps making trouble for the Head Hazer by following the orders rolled out of the Engineering and is back to Meds, so now Engineering has no Moon.

Now, suddenly they are boyfriends for real."

Arthit blinks.

"I guess..." Kongpob is not sure. "That kid tested my patience more than Forth and Park during their freshmen year. He is crazy and unpredictable. The worst thing is he always delivers the task during SOTUS and even if he gets punished, he always obeys. It is actually weird to be angry at the freshman who follows SOTUS as he is been told." He pauses. "He is fun to have around but a pain in the ass in his own way as a junior."

Arthit blinks. It is usually the hazer who gets mad at anyone who rebels. But Kongpob seems more troubled even though he is just supposed to supervise the SOTUS being lead by the third year hazers.

"Wow. Someone actually managed to be a bigger trouble than you?"

Kongpob nods.

"Good for you." Arthit taps on Kongpob's shoulder. "Karma is a bitch, huh?"

Kongpob sighs. "Indeed."

Forth and Beam are yet to be seen on weekend. Phana gets pale when he is notified by Kit that Beam hasn't come home even until Sunday afternoon.

Wayo sleeps over to Phana's room to calm his boyfriend down and prevents him from barging into Forth's place to find his precious 'son'.

*

Kit finds Forth walking out of Beam's room on Monday morning and even winks at Kit. "Hi, Kit, long time no see."

Kit hates that proud grin on his face. Okay, everyone knows already that he has got Beam, no need to be too smug! And yeah, Kit could hear all of it last night because they apparently didn't care to hold back their voices!!!

Beam walks out slowly after. He massages his hips and then reaches out to Forth to grab on his arm. "It still hurts, P'..."

Forth gets half hard hearing this. It brings back last night's memory.

The whole weekend actually.

"It's okay, N'Beam... you are gonna get used to it soon," Forth says softly.

Kit gawks in awe.

Just then, Beam realizes Kit's presence. He smiles at Kit. "Good morning, Kit." And then he points at Forth. "Ah, anyway... remember P'Forth...?"

Kit looks at Beam un-amused. Apparently Forth fucked him too much his brain got ruined.

"Of course I remember," he hisses.

"Pha is cool with him now," Beam says innocently. "You are cool with him too, right? He's your boyfriend's senior anyway..."

Kit blinks. "Yeah... see... Pha is cool because he realized from Yo that Forth is no longer targeting Yo, correction, even since the beginning he hasn't liked Yo that way. But... in the meantime, he also got to know that Forth has apparently always loved you. I am not even sure if his heart has completely gotten over this love thing between you both and now, he has to face the after-result of your lust? Man, you are killing your 'daddy' here, Beammie."

Beam chuckles. He holds onto Forth's shoulder.

"Daddy?" Forth asks with a questioning look to his boyfriend.

"He means Pha."

"What kind of 'daddy'?" Forth asks again.

Beam smirks. "Not your kind..." he hisses into Forth's mouth and pecks it. "Kit is the 'mommy', so be cool."

"Beam! This is outside!" Kit's eyes widen. PDA is fine but not with that high sexual tension!!!

"Shh..." Beam puts his index finger to his lips. "Then close your eyes, Kitty..."

Kit glares at Beam. "I put my head on the table by backing you up to let Pha to help you and yet you can't stop making trouble! You promised, Beam!"

"But I didn't make any new trouble." Beam pouts.

"He's right, Kit," Forth adds. He pulls Beam closer to him by pulling on his waist. "Besides, Pha once said that he is now my trouble."

"When was that?"

"When he became my N'Beam." Forth pecks on Beam's cheek.

Kut gasps. "For the hazing, I believe!"

Beam chuckles. "Owh, P'Forth..."

"P'Kit, what is taking you so lo... Owh. Sawadee, P'Forth." Ming hurriedly greets his senior politely. He came upstairs to get Kit after waiting so long at the dorm parking lot just in front of the lobby.

Forth smiles at Ming and then looks at Beam and whispers softly, "Let's go, baby."

"Hmm..." Beam just mumbles softly and follows the lead.

They walk slowly. One step at a time.

Kit points at the two desperately. "Do you see that??!!"

Ming blinks. "What am I supposed to see, P'...?"

"That's an incubus couple in heat!! Can you even imagine what I've been through last night?"

Ming blinks. "Well, in P'Forth's defense, he has been getting nothing for a year, P'. And for P'Beam who usually has three girls a day, a month without any is a long time."

Kit growls in annoyance.

"Besides..." Ming carefully adds. "... I can help you to have as much fun."

Kit smacks on Ming's shoulder with a flustered face. He can't get used to Ming's teasing.

Ming grins ear to ear.

Not long after, Beam's car being driven by Forth reaches Medical Faculty just in time when Wayo drops Phana in the lobby too.

Wayo is yet to drive again when he looks at how Phana's face turns pale on seeing how Beam slowly walks towards the lobby with Forth's help.

Beam is limping actually.

Wayo hurriedly jumps off his car and rounds his arm over his boyfriend's shoulder. "Breathe, P'Pha... breathe.... P'Beam is okay. He is in one piece. No harm done... nothing got destroyed," he says even though he is sure something got destroyed.

"Good morning, Pha." Forth greets Phana.

Beam is just smiling.

Phana looks at Forth. He feels betrayed. "You...." He gulps. "... did it... gently, right?"

Forth smiles dearly to assure Phana's heart. "Of course, Pha. Gently." And then he hands Beam's backpack to Phana. "A little help won't hurt though."

Phana gulps. He takes the backpack. And then he catches glimpse of the hickeys on Beam's neck. He gets even paler. He even has to close his eyes shut for a while to calm himself down.

"P'Pha... breathe..." Wayo leads Phana to help himself from getting a panic attack.

Beam laughs with a warm tone. "Come on, Pha... I'll help you get into the class..."

Even if Phana has both their backpacks, it definitely Beam who is helping him walk the rest of the journey to his class.

Wayo looks at Forth. "Don't worry, P'Pha will get over it sooner or later."

Forth laughs. "See you around then, Yo."

Wayo nods. "See you around, P'." Wayo looks as Forth gets into Beam's car and then he looks back at Phana and Beam again.

Beam is still tapping on Phana's back to calm him down and saying that he's alright over and over.

Wayo chuckles. "Seriously, P'Pha... now, how can I not get jealous, huh? You were just laughing when Ming fucked P'Kit for the first time. Geeezzz... you play favorite after all."

When Forth reaches his class, Lam is having both his arms folded over his chest.

Forth gulps. Lam is angry. Forth looks at Park for protection.

"Don't look at me. You're on your own. Your 'mommy' is angry. I am just your 'step-father'. Deal with him yourself," Park says coldly.

Forth sighs. He prefers Park yelling at him than being glared coldly by Lam. When he sits beside Lam, a hard smack lands on Forth's head.

"Ouch." Forth holds his head. It hurt.

"I am charging you 500 USD for the barbeque!" Lam blasts his anger.

"What?! Why so expensive?! It won't even cost 200 USD!"

"Just pay or I will raise it to 1000 USD!"

"Fine! Geeezzz... compared to Beam, I have abusive 'parents'..." Forth mumbles.

"What did you just say?"

"Nothing, 'mom'..." Forth smiles half-heartedly.

Lam smacks his head again. Harder this time.

"Care to do something here, 'step-dad'...?" Forth turns to Park.

"Nope," Park answers firmly.

*

During the lunch break, Forth is having lunch with his friends. Beam and he agreed to spend the break with their friends. They have been together for the entire weekend and will have dinner later after the afternoon classes. Besides, Forth will spend the night at Beam's place again tonight. So it's better to spend more time with friends this way.

"Good morning P'Forth." Wai stands beside their table.

Five Engineering students at the table look at Wai.

Slightly behind him, Posh is standing calmly.

Wai places a box with a golden wrap. "Congratulations for being official with P'Beam. This gift is from us. Please open it together with P'Beam, na...?"

Forth blinks. He accepts the gift with doubts. "Uhm... thank you, Wai."

"We are going to have lunch at Meds today. But we are giving it to you instead of P'Beam." Wai smiles. "It means we care for him without forgetting that he's now your boyfriend, P'. Don't get jealous of us, na?"

Forth smiles. "Thanks."

"Cool. See you around then, P'. We are gonna check whether our friend is still in one piece after being eaten alive." Wai says teasingly.

Forth turns to Posh. "Try to tame your boyfriend better, will you?"

Posh just grins. He pulls Wai and leads him to go as he rounds his arm over Wai's shoulder.

Prae and Irin join Posh and Wai. They all together go to Medical faculty to see Beam and have lunch.

*

Forth picks up Beam after the afternoon classes and then drives to Beam's place. He has already packed three days worth clothes to spend half of the week at Beam's place.

After they take a shower, Forth takes Beam to dinner nearby. Nice enough. At the Korean restaurant. The place that Forth bought Beam for dinner the first time during his Moon gathering.

Forth is caressing the back of Beam's palm just where his gear bracelet is. He looks at Beam with a tender gaze. "You are amazing. You were gorgeous back then but you keep getting more and more gorgeous."

Beam chuckles. "Are you sweet-talking me?"

Forth smiles. "Maybe. I don't know." He leans closer to Beam who is sitting beside him.

"Forth, this is outside," Beam whispers. Even though they are sitting in the corner and the place has a high couch, it's still outside.

Forth drops a peck on Beam's hair. "Hm. PDA with no sexual tension is allowed." He grins.

Beam hits Forth's chest with the back of his palm lightly.

Forth blinks. That small gesture just like the first time that Beam touched him. Asking his name without a handshake but a tap of the palm on his chest instead.

Beam returns Forth's tender gaze with a softer one. "Hmm...?"

Forth smiles. "What a fool I am... trying to tone down this feeling. I never stood a chance." He chuckles.

Beam bites his lips. He looks down and then keeps his hand busy by flipping the meat on the grill. "Tell me about it, boy. You are hard to move on from too."

Forth grins happily. He makes a wrap of food and then turns to Beam. "Say 'ahh'..."

Beam opens his mouth and lets Forth feeds him. He starts chewing while giving a smile and winking at his boyfriend.

Forth chuckles as he licks his thumb which has the food stain from the wrap. And he drops a light peck to Beam's lips before enjoying the dinner.

They just don't realize how the waiters are stealing glances at them.

"Told you! That since the first time they are boyfriends..." — waiter 1.

"I just hoped that they were not. Come on... two hot guys? I want to have one." — waiter 2.

"I think the first time, they were just courting each other. And, today is their official first day." — waiter 3.

Silence.

"Either way, I don't think anyone would stand a chance to come in the middle of these two." — waiter 1.

There is enough silence before the other two waiters nod.

*

Beam looks at the golden paper wrapped gift that Forth hands him the minute they reach his dorm. "What?"

"Gift from your friends, the freshmen," Forth says. "For us. They said to get open it together."

"Owh. Really? That's nice of them."

Forth and Beam sit on the couch and open it together.

They are stunned when they see what's inside the golden box.
