Work Text:
"Okay, CUT!" the director shouted and Pat signed in relief.
He rushed towards the director, who also happened to be his boyfriend and jumped into his arms. Luckily, Pran caught Pat but could not handle his weight and they both fell.
"Okay, will you get off me now? At least let me stand." Pran told Pat who was far too excited to listen. So instead he gave in and hugged Pat back. They stayed like that for some time, some people on the set started at them but most had gotten used to it. Pran gave Pat a kiss on the cheek, his eyes clearly showed how proud he was of his boyfriend. "Congratulations!" he said as he kissed Pat again.
Pat had just wrapped up his first movie and they had to celebrate it.
"Come on now, get up. Let's celebrate tonight. We'll have dinner and drink champagne and I'll play a song for you, or maybe you'll play a song for me." Pat said as he got up and pulled Pran with him.
"But the entire crew is going to celebrate together today. Shouldn't we stay here?"
"We'll stay here and celebrate for some time and then we'll get out of here. Once the promotional stuff starts, we'll be spending too much time with them anyways. Also, there's somewhere I want to take you."
So that's what they did. They went to Pran's favourite restaurant where they ate Pran's favourite food and shared a bottle of wine and talked for hours.
"So where are we going after this?" Pran asked.
"You'll see."
They got into the car and switched on the radio which happened to be playing Pat's song. Pat tried changing the song but Pran smacked his hand away. Pat felt weird listening to his own song but Pran absolutely loved it, he sang on top of his lungs and cutely danced to the song. Pat looked at his adorable boyfriend, taking in the moment and then joined in as well.
"We're here." Pat announced. Pran looked around and realised that Pat had brought them to their college. This is where they met and became friends and this is where they had graduated from.
"Here to relive memories, are we?" Pran asked as he got down from the car and started walking towards the college.
"Not there. This way." Pat said as he took Pran's hand and pulled him to where the noodle stall was. The noodle stall was near the college dorm and Pat and Pran came there often when they studied there.
When they reached the stall, Pat pulled a chair for Pran and asked him to sit down and then went to the chef to give his order.
"Uncle, can we have two bowls of red pork noodle soup with three wontons and no garlic and two bottles of green tea please."
"Oh hello, welcome. It has been so long since you came here."
"Yes I has been long. I see, nothing has really changed here."
"Of course something has changed. I have a celebrity coming to my stall. That has never happened before. But I see you are here with your old friend. You used to hit on him a lot when you were young, did he finally become your boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? That's my fiancé." Pat said proudly and laughed as the chef's eyes go wide with surprise.
"Congratulations! Here take your food. Enjoy your meal!"
"Here, your noodles, just how you like them."
"Thank you." Pran recalled when they first came here together.
It was five years ago, when they had just graduated from college. Pat was a rookie artist and one his songs had gone famous. Pat wanted to make a music video for his song and his song had suggested him to ask Pran's team. Pran had made films for his school projects but he had never worked on an actual project outside of schoolwork and so he was a little nervous. At the beginning Pat was unsure whether he should ask Pran but then he saw Pran and fell in love with those dimples. Pat would buy drinks and snacks for Pran and take him to the noodle stall while Pran worked day and night to make that mv the best thing he had ever worked on. On the last day of shoot, when they were having supper at the noodle stall, Pat had asked Pran to be his boyfriend and of course Pran had said yes. The mv was a hit and after that, Pran had gotten an internship in a big company. Pat also became more and more famous in the music industry and today, he was filming his fisrt movie ever. Pat was adamant that he only wanted Pran to direct the movie. Pran had directed all his music videos till date and it would be weird if he didn't direct Pat's film.
They shared memories from their college days as they ate. A few people also walked up to them and asked them for an autograph or a picture. And Pat finished his food earlier and stole Pran's wontons.
"Okay okay, stop sulking now. I'll get more wontons for you. Till then here, have this green tea or else I will steal that too."
Pran took the bottle from Pat and took a sip. "Hmm, this is really delicious! So delicious. It tastes so good with the noodles." Pran said as he gulped down the whole bottle (A/N: GMMTV never stops shamelessly advertising their sponsors so why should I?)
"I know right. And it is also full of antioxidants and minerals." Pat said as he took a sip out of his bottle.
"Ah, I feel so fresh and energized after having this. This is the best thing that's ever happened to me." Pran said as he stole Pat's drink and started gulping it down.
"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." Pat said as he looked at Pran with admiration. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." Pran said as he reached out for Pat's hand and intertwined their fingers.
"Do you remember when we used to come here together after shoot?"
" Of course, how can I forget, we had so much fun. You also asked me to be your boyfriend here."
"And today, when we are here again, I want to ask you to be my husband. Will you marry me?"
"Of course, I will. I asked you this question last month and you already said yes."
"I know, you already put a ring onmy finger and now I want to do the same. And I know that this place is not exactly grand enough for something like this but we have some of our best memories here. This is where we became friends, and then boyfriends and this is where I want to ask you to be my husband." Pat said as he pulled out a ring and slid it on Pran's finger. Pat saw a tear slide out of Pran's eye and so he wiped it off and kissed Pran's hand near the ring.
"I love you." Pran said as he got out of his seat and pulled Pat in a tight hug. Pat could feel his shirt getting wet and he could here Pran's sniffles and so he pulled Pran closer and hugged him tighter.
Pat thought just how lucky he was to have met and fallen for someone like Pran. Looking back, asking Pran to direct a music video for him was the best decision he had aver made.
