The morning light streamed through the windows of the Jirochtikul residence, and Fourth was practically bouncing with energy as he made his way down the stairs.
His happiness was impossible to contain, and the telltale smirk playing on his lips made it even more obvious.
Phuwin, Mark, and Satang were already at the breakfast table, but the moment Fourth walked in, all three of them stopped mid-bite, their eyes narrowing suspiciously.
You're awfully chipper this morning. Mark remarked, raising an eyebrow. What's got you looking like the cat that got the cream ?
Fourth didn't answer, his smirk deepening as he casually grabbed a piece of toast.
Instead of responding, he leaned against the counter, humming to himself like he was replaying a private victory in his mind.
Satang leaned closer, his curiosity getting the better of him. Did something happen last night ? Did you finally get a girl's number or something ?
At this, Fourth let out a low chuckle, shaking his head.
Nope. He replied, popping the 'p' for emphasis, still refusing to explain.
Mark frowned, exchanging a confused glance with Phuwin, who was studying his younger brother carefully.
You're acting weird. Phuwin commented, narrowing his eyes. Did you cause trouble again ?
Define trouble. Fourth said with a playful shrug, his grin widening as he grabbed his bag and slung it over his shoulder.
Anyway, I'm off to uni. Later, bros ! With that, he left the room, leaving all three of them staring after him in bewilderment.
When Fourth reached the university gates, he spotted Gia waiting near the entrance, her arms crossed as she chatted with someone familiar.
His heart gave a little leap when he saw Gemini standing there, looking as composed and intimidating as ever, his tall figure leaning casually against his car.
Gia noticed Fourth first and waved him over, a grin lighting up her face. There you are ! Took you long enough.
Fourth approached with his usual swagger, his eyes darting briefly to Gemini, who was watching him intently. The moment their gazes met, Fourth couldn't resist.
He threw a cheeky wink in Gemini's direction, the memory of the previous night making his smirk grow wider.
Gemini's jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing slightly as he straightened up. Fourth could feel the weight of that intense gaze on him as he walked past, joining Gia as they headed through the university gates.
You're in a good mood. Gia remarked, glancing at him as they walked. What's up ? Did something happen ?
Let's just say I had a very... satisfying night. Fourth replied with a grin, his tone dripping with mischief.
Gia rolled her eyes but laughed. You're insufferable sometimes, you know that ?
Always. Fourth shot back, flashing her a toothy grin.
Back at the car, Gemini stood frozen for a moment, his eyes trailing after Fourth and Gia as they disappeared into the university. His mind was racing, but it wasn't Gia he was focused onâit was Fourth.
That wink. That cocky smirk. The memory of their kiss in the washroom last night came flooding back, and Gemini felt his composure slip again.
He clenched his fists, his mind replaying every detail of that moment: the way Fourth had pulled him in, the softness of his lips, the teasing glint in his eyes afterward.
Gemini shook his head, trying to push the thoughts away, but it was useless. He had kissed Fourth last night.
He had wanted him, claimed him in a way that was entirely unlike him. And now, seeing Fourth so nonchalant, so effortlessly charming, it was driving him insane.
More than that, Gemini couldn't help but notice the way people glanced at Fourth as he walked into the university.
The younger alpha carried himself with confidence, drawing attention like a magnet. It wasn't just his looksâit was his energy, his charisma. And it set something off in Gemini.
He wanted that attention off Fourth and onto him. He wanted everyone to know that Fourth wasn't available for their lingering gazes or fleeting smiles.
Gemini exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. He had always prided himself on his self-control, but with Fourth, that control was slipping fast. The kiss had broken something in himâa barrier he didn't even know he had.
Damn it. He muttered under his breath, his eyes still locked on the spot where Fourth had disappeared with Gia.
One thing was clear: the younger alpha wasn't just getting under his skin. Fourth had somehow burrowed deep into his mind, and now, Gemini wasn't sure he could ever get him out. More than that, he wasn't even sure he wanted to.
After the whirlwind of emotions from the night before, Gemini found himself unable to focus on anything unrelated to Fourth. When Gia mentioned over breakfast that she'd be late because of an assignment meeting with Fourth, Gemini had casually offered to drop her off at the university.
He wouldn't admit it, not even to himself, but he wasn't here just to drop Gia.
