I don't want to see you sad

Nate

— Will, I think we need to talk!

We look in the direction of the voice behind us and find your grandfather's broad smile. He pulls out a chair and sits down next to us.

— What are you doing away from here? Why aren't you at our table? — asks, Will stares at him, smiling a little gracelessly.

— I don't want to be at the same table as my parents!

— I am no longer at the same table as them, you can come stay with us, your uncle is also there with his husband, and. - his grandfather doesn't finish his sentence, and stares at my boyfriend as if he is analyzing him. - What happened? Your parents didn't like it very much when I said I would ask you to sit with us, and we argued about it. Did something happen that I don't know about?

— I think you know I left home, don't you? — Will asks a little cautiously, while his grandfather shakes his head in the affirmative. — So, I assumed for them that... That... That...

Before he has the courage and concludes, his grandfather does it for him.

— That you are gay? — he asks naturally, while Will and I exchange glances. — I already knew ...

— Did you know?

— You and your sister have always been different from the other grandchildren, just like my brother. The same feeling I had towards my brother, Prayut, I always had towards you!

— I don't even know what to say... I...

— Don't think I'm going to blame you, I want you to be happy! — she says, holding Will's hand, strokes it, and continues. — Now, I wish you had told me this before to avoid everything those two did, or said to you!

— Thank you, Grandpa! You have no idea how good your words do me!

He looks at both of us, and asks.

— Tell me something? Are your parents bothered by your friend's presence, are you two just a couple in the series, or not?

He watches us intently. Will looks at me fearfully, expecting some reaction from me, and tries to speak.

— We are...

I don't let him complete.

— Boyfriends! — I speak, and Will stares at me with a big smile.

— Now I understand your parents' annoyance, and their constant smiling that day you had lunch at home, remember?

Will shakes his head in agreement, and smiles. I face his grandfather, and speak.

— We haven't come out publicly yet because of our careers, and everything else that could somehow hurt us, and...

— Does your family know, Nate?

— Part of it, yes... I mean, the ones that really matter to me, my mom and uncle like Will more than me...

— Stop being exaggerated, Nate! — Will says and smiles. Your grandfather holds Will's hand, and then mine.

— I want you to know... That you have my support, and don't stop living what you feel! - he exclaims and looks at me. — You know, Nate, I was once a homophobe, I spent many years not speaking to my brother, but today, I am a different man, and I try to support any of my grandchildren, or other people in my life who love each other, regardless of any circumstances, love will always be, love!

— You don't know how good it is to hear that! I don't speak for myself. — I look at my boyfriend, smile, and then look at your grandfather again. — Mostly for him!

His words moved me. I look at Will again and see a tear coming down. These were the words he should have heard from his parents, but unfortunately they did not happen.

[...]

We ended up sitting at the same table that Will's grandparents, sister, and uncles were at, however, it is very close to his parents' table. There are many people I don't know besides my in-laws, including that inconvenient girl, Kanya. I don't understand her, she has always been in love with him, has never said what she felt, and now she's worked up the courage to try to hit on him, as if Will really wanted something with her.

Sometimes I feel like standing in front of her and telling her the truth. He doesn't want you, he likes men, and that won't change, don't insist! I realized that day of the posts that made me angry, that the big problem with this girl is my "MOTHER-IN-LAW". She seems to create straight Fanfics for Kanya, probably the kind with the hot CEO who fucks hard. From the messages she still sends to her son, she probably put it in her head that the girl should invest, because Will must be confused about his character in the series, and needs therapy to get rid of all the emotional load that Wanchai brought to him, and that I am the big agent of this identity problem he is experiencing. What my mother-in-law doesn't know is that her son was the first to invest in this relationship, and it is very clear in his mind what Wanchai feels for Thirasak, and what he feels for me.

Kanya's glances at Will are beginning to annoy me. She stares at him with great intensity, as if she is watching every detail of him. I confess that seeing him dressed in this suit has brought me some strange thoughts. A cold and calculating CEO, with a dark past, a room full of strange things, and who knows how to fuck... Oops, who is creating Fanfic, that's me!

I shake my head. The CEO, I mean, my boyfriend looks at me.

— Is everything okay?

— Yes.

Calm down Nate! What is it? I'm thinking too much, and the girl keeps staring at him, and it's bothering me too much.

All right, I don't take away her point! I have to agree that Will looks really hot in that suit, and he'll look better without it, but in my bed... Damn, I keep thinking stupid things!

Just when I thought she would just be watching, and listening to the nonsense that my mother-in-law seemed to be talking in her ear, she gets up and seems to come towards us, while my mother-in-law and a woman smile and watch.

— Hi Will, how are you?

Holy shit! Such insistence...

— Hi Kanya! I am very well!

— Eh... Could you dance with me? I have no date...

Will she appeal? Where is this girl's self-esteem? What's pretty about her is silly! Will looks at me for help, and when I open my mouth to answer him something, we are saved by my wonderful sister-in-law. Lyn stands up and says something.

— Unfortunately he will dance with me now, shall we go little brother?

— Oh yes, that's right!

[...]

I pass through the door that leads to the living room, and back to the space where the party is, I stop and look around, and something displeases me. Is it serious? I went to the bathroom and my boyfriend was dancing with my sister-in-law. Could someone explain to me what happened in this short period of time?

Before I can walk up to them, I am stopped by a voice.

— There you are! Nate, is that your name? I don't think we've been introduced, I'm Phailin, Will's mother!

I stare at the woman next to me. Her appearance reminds me a lot of Will, in a feminine and older version. The tone of her voice exudes mischief and glamour, as does her beautiful blue dress.

— How are you, madam? — I ask and she stares at the people in front of us.

I know that this conversation is going nowhere, and that she probably wants to defend her straight Fanfic, and her characters with no chemistry.

— They make a beautiful couple. Kanya is perfect for Will, she comes from a noble family, practically a princess, and my son will be the CEO of our companies, in the future a marriage between them seems inevitable, and...

I can't imagine something like that, it's impossible. This Fanfic of hers is doomed to be a nice, big, flop.

— This story would be perfect if the future CEO liked a woman, but I think you know he likes a man, don't you?

She stares at me with great anger.

— This is all a phase, he is confused! Acting, living the life of a character sometimes confuses a young mind like his! And there is his negative influence in all this...

I burst into laughter upon hearing this. Does she really think that I am to blame for her son liking men? I think I need to situate my mother-in-law.

— I think you still don't understand, your son likes men and I have no influence on that, we just fell in love, and as far as I am concerned, the marriage to the princess will not happen!

I don't wait for her to answer me, I leave her in a vacuum and continue walking among the people dancing without caring about anything, and several tables scattered around the space until I reach my destination, and end this floppy story of the Princess who wants at all costs to get my CEO. In front of them, I touch Will's shoulder, who looks at me fearfully, as if to say that it's not his fault. The girl looks at me without understanding anything, Will disengages himself from her and I hold his hand.

We walk among the people, and Will doesn't question me, or let go of my hand. We enter the house, go through the living room, reach the hall, and pass through a long corridor, I unlock the first door, turn on the lamp, look around, it looks like a library, many bookshelves and books. I lock the door. I look at Will, who wants to tell me something.

— Nate, it wasn't my fault, they started swapping couples, and Kanya appeared in front of me with a lost puppy dog look, I took pity and...

I listen to his explanation, bite my lip, push him against the wall, hold him by the waist, and take his mouth before he can finish what he wants to say. I pull on his lower lip, and then slide my tongue into his mouth without asking permission, which doesn't make much difference, because his was also waiting for mine. The kiss becomes intense, I press his body against mine, I move my mouth down his neck, he pulls my hair, but then places his hands on my chest.

— Stop Nate, stop... — I do as he asks, and stare at him. I try to catch my breath, and he asks me. — What's gotten into him? Is all this jealousy?

— No, desire, much desire! — I say and kiss his neck again.

— It seems like forever since you have had sex!

— We didn't have sex yesterday! — I stop and look at him smiling.

— Oh, and now you have become Lan Zhan*? Every day is every day!

— What?

— Never mind... Let's get out of here, because I don't want to be surprised at an awkward moment!

[...]

— Hum, I finally found you guys! — says my sister-in-law, when we reach the hall. — Grandpa is going to blow out the candles!

— Ah, so we're going there! — Will exclaims.

— And you go like this?

— How so? — I ask.

— The hair all messed up, and the red marks on his neck! — Lyn says and points to her brother.

— Nate, what have I ever told you about this? — Will asks me angrily.

I look at his neck, try to touch it, but he won't let me touch it while he touches it himself. I watch, but see no apparent mark.

— I don't see anything! — I say, and hear the sound of Lyn's laughter.

— How easy you give yourselves away, boys!

— What a stupid joke, Lyn! — Will complains, I stare at her in disbelief, and she continues laughing.

— Sorry, but I couldn't resist a joke! Nate's face was the best! — she says and continues laughing at my face.

— Damn it Lyn, when it comes to jokes, it seems you are worse than Will!

— Ah brother-in-law, he learned from me!

— Don't mind her, she is always so clueless!

— Where is your boyfriend? — Will asks.

— You can't even say that jokingly! What do you know, our mom was practically planning a double wedding, along with the other crazy person there, Kanya's mom! — she says and lets out a nervous smile.

— Is that why you ran with our grandfathers to the other table? — asked Will.

— I thought he was following you, Lyn! — I exclaim, she looks at me with wide eyes.

— No, nobody deserves such karma!

— You mean, she was planning a double wedding? Our mother is going crazy, isn't she?

— You say that because you don't know what she told me! — I exclaim.

— What did she tell you? — both ask in unison.

— Forget it people, it's not worth it!

— Nate, if she said something to you that hurt you, I will go talk to her now, e.... — Will speaks in a concerned manner, I smile.

— Seriously, love, it was bullshit on her part, and I responded accordingly!

— Mom is clueless, I wonder what she said to you! She must have said something about Will and Kanya's wedding, right? — Lyn asks, and I nod my head in agreement. - She was talking about the double wedding at the table, like I said, Will and Kanya, and me and that bitch's brother! Just the thought of getting married makes me sick, imagine with a sham like that?

— It's not like that either! Where is that girl in love with Kim Seok- Jin? — Will asks and smiles.

— Who is Kim Seok-Jin? — I ask.

— He is the love of my life... Too bad he doesn't know it yet! — she answers and dramatically puts her hand on her chest, sighs and smiles.

— Who is Kim Seok-Jin? — I ask Will again.

— One of the BTS members! — he replies and I let out a laugh, which is rebuked by Lyn.

— Look "Indie boy", you are not going to badmouth BTS here in front of me, no!

— Always arguing, Lyn? — an unfamiliar voice asks. We turn in the direction of the voice, and I notice my boyfriend and my sister-in-law smiling at a girl who looks a lot like them, as well as speaking in unison. "SUNEE"

I think now, my in-laws will go crazy!
