What did you do all night?

"What is it?" Anurak frowned at New the moment he opened his door.

New was grumpy as he was yet to have a proper night's sleep. He just returned about an hour ago and came directly to Anurak's room after getting dressed. With his brain muddled up due to lack of sleep, he couldn't figure out why Anurak was upset.

"What is it?" He asked in bewilderment.

"Didn't I just ask you that?" Anurak retorted.

"Oh, so you are not a morning person. Got that. Noted." New nodded, confusing Anurak who just noticed that something was off about his new friend. His eyes were slightly red and the under-eyelids were swollen, as if he didn't sleep at all. He looked stressed.

"New, why are you knocking on my door at 5:30 in the morning?"

Anurak was quite exasperated. He had ended his call with his girlfriend thinking it was time to hit the campus, only to discover that it wasn't even 6 a.m. yet, and their first lecture was at 9 a.m. How could he not be angry?

After almost freezing to death all night long, Anurak was hoping that good phone sex would do a lot for his mood and nerve endings, but New just ruined everything.

"I told you we would be leaving by 7 a.m. last night, and you agreed."

"You said no such thing. If you did, I would have remembered." Anurak snorted, then paused as his brain fed him the information.

Truly, New said something like that…

So what? It's not seven yet!

Anurak glared at New angrily. If he confessed to forgetting, he would have to apologize for being unfairly cranky, but Anurak had no such intention. Since it wasn't time yet, he was still in the right. There was no reason to apologize to someone who just ruined his day before it even started.

"So you were drunker than you appeared last night? You sure know how to hold your drink." New nodded with satisfaction.

Even though Anurak was drunk and unsteady last night, he was still coherent and held the conversation between them going. Thinking that Anuraka couldn't remember anything from last night, New was surprised.

Meanwhile, the more they talked, the clearer New's eyes got. At this point, he also discovered how ridiculous his action was, but hey, he was already at Anurak's door. The only way forward was to…

New suddenly pushed Anurak into the room, brushed past him, and sort of dived into the three-seater couch.

"We leave at 7." He mumbled and instantly fell asleep.

Taken surprised, Anurak was dazed by New's action. He only woke up when New's soft purry snores reached him. He didn't even know how to react. All he could do was glare at the sleeping guy.

What kept him up all night?

Anurak closed his door and, ignoring New's awkward position on the couch, Anurak went back into his room.

So what if his neck grows stiff? Serves him right. Anurak scoffed as he closed his bedroom door behind him. With two hours on his hands, he was already thinking naughty thoughts…

At exactly 7 a.m., Anurak came out again to find New lying down with his body face-up. His white shirt was rumpled, and his snores were like soft croaks that made his Adam-Apple vibrate each time he exhaled.

Anurak watched him a bit. He was reluctant to wake him up as he could see that the guy was very tired. But he needed New's help in taking pictures this morning and at the same time didn't want to be late to class for the 9 a.m. class.

"New! Wake up?" Anurak patted him on the leg.

New turned his body, facing the back of the couch, grumbled a little, and went right back to snoring.

Looking around, Anurak spotted a half-emptied glass of water on his center table. He picked it up, poured some water on his palm, and sprinkled it on New's face.

When New felt the water, he groaned and even licked it up, but it soon felt like he was being pelleted with ice.

He grudgingly opened his eyes and saw Anurak standing over him with a small but mischievous smirk.

"Alaiií?"

"Time to leave for class."

New groaned and sluggishly sat up.

"You didn't sleep at all?" Anurak asked curiously.

"Mm." New nodded.

"What were you doing?"

The image of Faith's legs, wrapped around his waist as he throttled his ass, flashed across New's head. New couldn't stop himself from smirking. He could almost hear the boy's voice in his ears. It was squeaky and tiny like those Japanese femboys.

I must have him again… New licked his lips again.

"New?" Anurak called his name as he noticed that he was lost in thought. Then that telling smirk…

Anurak had an idea and his eyes widened.

"Don't tell me you went to get laid last night?"

New came back to his senses and cleared his throat.

"No. Why did you say that?"

New was shocked that Anurak

guessed right, but until he confirms Anurak's sexual orientation, he would rather not tell Anurak that he is gay.

Anurak didn't believe him. But he decided to let it go.

"So, what were you doing all night? You look stressed."

"I was helping my Dad with some company work." New lied.

"I don't understand." Anurak was confused. Why would a first-year student help in his father's company?

"Our company is into gaming and game design. I do programming for the company. Something happened to a client's game, and I was asked to fix it."

"Oh," Anurak muttered, confused. He wasn't a computer person, so programming was a term he was familiar with but inexperienced in.

"So you can write a game like this?"

Anurak's eyes sparkled as he looked at New with New insights.

"Mm."

"That's so cool."

New stretched and groaned while yawning simultaneously. "Do you have caffeinated coffee?" He quickly changed the topic.

"No. I have decaf."

"That's just aromatic, flavored water."

Anurak rolled his eyes and checked his wristwatch. It was already 15 minutes past 7.

"We are running late, New. Get up."

"Okay." New stood up reluctantly.

Anurak held out his hand and snapped his fingers at New.

"My key?"

"What Key?"

"Bike…"

"Oh, That. Forget it. The only way you are driving your bike to school is if my car is too busy to carry you or out of commission. None of that can happen, and if it does happen, then you will take a taxi." New rattled off authoritatively as if he were the one who bought the bike for Anurak.

"Now, let's go!" He concluded.

It is sufficient to say Anurak was dumbfounded as he watched New walk past him to the door.

Anurak suddenly felt exhausted from just trying to talk to New. He puffed heavily and then realigned his thoughts. It was too early to lose his cool.

If he had known that New was this overbearing, he might not have gotten cozy with him. Less than 24 hours of being friends and New was already trying to control his life…

And he might even be a gang member…

He is a nice guy deep down. He is just a little spoiled. Keep calm. You will get your key back in no time…

Just as he got to the door, New turned around and gave Anurak a good stare. He just noticed Anurak's fashion sense, and it gave him a pleasant shock.

Anurak was dressed in a unisex, off-shoulder, long woolen dress in butter color. Under it was a pair of skin-tight, blue jean pants. His usually gelled to the back hair was turned to a quiff, with the two sides gelled down, and the middle styled into a rolling wave to the left side. It drew attention to the pyramid-shaped, studded, dangling earrings he just added to his accessories. He finished it off with a pair of dark blue, wedged, cowboy boots, with two inches-high block heels.

New was spellbound for a few seconds as his eyes roamed over Anurak's frame.

"Now, what?" Anurak slit his eyes at New's confusing gaze.

"Dude, are you sure you want to go to class like this?" He asked as he gave Anurak's attire a pointed look.

"What's wrong with my dressing?" Anurak asked. He reviewed himself and liked what he saw, but confusion creased his face because of New's words.

Or would I be punished for wearing a colored top?

Even though students all over Thailand wear white shirts and black pants as the standard uniform, Anurak knew that at Sunny-Uni, students get away with wearing colored shirts. Especially on Fridays.

He felt that since it was the beginning of the semester, and he was a new student, he should be able to get away with wearing anything as long as it was close to the color white.

Meanwhile, He needed to wear this shirt because Sophea picked it for him. He was going to take pictures with it and send them to her later in the day. Sophea was going to use those pictures to give him a shout-out on her social media platforms.

"You look like a Drag Queen."

"Because of the heels?" Anurak asked in amusement. The only thing on him that was unusual should be the shoes.

"Yes." New nodded.

Anurak rolled his eyes and kept walking toward the elevator doors down the corridor.

"These are just two inches high. No big deal." He stated offhandedly. "What's wrong with looking like a drag Queen anyway?" He continued.

"They are bold and beautiful. Plus, I am not even putting on any make-up. So how can you say that I look like a Drag Queen just because I am wearing high heels? Have you ever seen a Drag Queen without one?"
