Chapter Text
It's been almost a month since Pran came back from his two years internship in Singapore. Bangkok changed so much without him, he has to discover his own city and his new neighborhood. He insisted for his mom to let him rent his own appartment in the center of the town, much closer to his working place than the family house.
The apartment he found is a bit big for a person alone, the rent is a bit high but his new job as a project manager and main architect in his new office, which is the Thai branch of the company that employed him in Singapore, allows him to pay extra for the calmness of the place.
There is a modern, functional kitchen opened to the living room, and a big bay window which gives the room a lot of natural light. In the bedroom, the king size bad takes almost every inch of the room but Pran never slept that good. And who knows, he might bring a date someday to have a little fun.
But the main quality of the apartment is the huge balcony. Covered in fake grass and decored with potted trees, Pran has one of the most beautiful views of the city. Being on the top floor means that noboby can spy on him. It's his own bubble of happiness.
Playing with his keys in his pocket, Pran walks peacfully down the street to grab diner to his favorite street food stall. He gets his usual, a noodle soup with three dumplings, and consider eating at one of the tables displayed outside. But a cold wind cross through his body and he finally decide to go back home to eat in the confortable warmth of his home.
He gets the plastic bag containing the hot meal, and decide to walk through a different street than usual to discover more of the neighborhood. The path is empty, quiet, almost too quiet, and a wrong smell starts to spread around him. A mix of garbage and iron smell, that makes him nauseous. The smell is getting stronger and stronger, Pran is about to faint cause he can't bear with it anymore.
As he almost felll to the ground, his legs weak and his breathing difficult, he stumble over a pile of rubbish. His hand is spread over his mouth and nose to contain his urge to throw up, and the light over his head flickers, making him squint to distinguish what he stumbled over.
A body.
A fully grow up, completely naked, very muscular humain body. Pran is about to run away, when a faint sound come to his ears. The body is breathing. Without thinking, Pran bend over the man to grab him and to help him get on his legs. He then takes off his coat to drape it on the man's wide shoulders. Slowly, step by step, they walk together to Pran's apartment.
It's only once inside the building, under the full light of the ceiling, that Pran notices two little balls of light, almost blond hair on top of the dark, untamed mane of the man. Once inside the lift, Pran finilly understand that those blond balls are in fact ears. Too stunned to speak, they walk in silence to the front door.
The coat leaves the man's shoulders and back, and a big, fluffy tail appear behind him when he falls on the couch. Quickly, Pran grabs a glass of water to give to the stranger. Once the glass empty and that the other guy seems in a better states, Pran finally asks.
“What the hell are you ?”
