The Watched Stretch
The dance studio is dark except for one overhead light. Pond kills the music and stands still, breathing hard, his shirt clinging. He doesn't turn around—he already knows the weight of that gaze. Slowly, he lifts his arms above his head in a long, feline stretch, the hem of his shirt rising just enough to show the dip of his lower back. He hears a foot shift on tile. A smile flickers at the corner of his mouth. He grabs his water, leaves the door ajar, and walks toward the corridor showers without looking back.
"I missed you, P'Pond"
It's the next day and Phuwin's at work, Practicing His vocals and Preparing for a music video when He sees Pond dancing in The dance room with The Thai pop group Pond's apart of, Jasp.er, along with Pond other friends in the group, Aou, Joong and Santa. Phuwin Asks to excuse himself for a second and Heads over to Pond, He smiles and asks to talk to Pond for a moment. Pond knowing of Last night smirks and Heads over While asking Phuwin what was wrong? And how he's been doing. Phuwin smiles and says He's been ok and asks if Pond wants to come to the Club with him later and Pond says He'll think about it. Phuwin says that He Misses Pond a lot with a Sad face and Bits his lips lightly. Pond gives a nod and says that he has to get back to Practice. Phuwin smiles and says ok while waving. Pond rushes back over and Santa asks Him what he was talking to Phuwin about. Pond says Nothing and that they should get back to Practice. Phuwin Heads to a corner Not far from the dance floor and Blushes As Puts his face in his hands and Says Quietly that The Man he just spoke to was so good at Fucking Him and making him shy.
