"yep."

Pond wrapped an arm around Phuwin's shoulders, pulling him closer against his side. "But you know what?" he said, his voice soft and sincere. "I'm glad you're different. I'm glad you're the way you are. I wouldn't want you to be anyone else but you."

"thanks pond, what else can we talk about?"

Pond thought for a moment, brainstorming ideas for a new topic of conversation. He was enjoying just talking to Phuwin, the conversation flowing easily between them.

He suddenly had an idea and his eyes lit up with mischief. "Can I confess something?" he asked, a sly smirk on his face.

"Sure."

Pond's smirk widened a bit as he prepared to reveal his secret. He leaned in a bit closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.

"Okay, but you have to promise you won't tell anyone, okay?"

"okay."

Pond leaned in even closer, his expression almost comically serious.

"Alright," he said, drawing out the suspense. "Here's the secret: I... I actually really, really like your favorite anime. Like, way more than I let on."

"seriously? you hate that show."

Pond chuckled, loving how Phuwin could see right through his act.

"I know, I know," he admitted, a sheepish grin on his face. "I always pretended like I didn't like it, but the truth is... I actually really love it. I just didn't want to admit it because I thought you'd make fun of me."

"why would I make fun of you for something I like?" I said laughing

Pond felt a wave of relief wash over him. He was so caught up in his own insecurity about confessing his love for the anime that he hadn't considered how Phuwin would react.

He chuckled along with him, feeling a bit sheepish. "I don't know," he admitted. "I guess I just thought you'd tease me for being a secret fan."

I pulled pictures of me and pond in grade 7 out of my backpack

Pond raised an eyebrow as Phuwin pulled out pictures of them from grade 7 from his backpack. He hadn't seen those in a long time.

"Whoa, where'd those come from?" he asked, a nostalgic smile on his face as he looked at the pictures.

"I just keep them." I said smiling

Pond chuckled, touched that Phuwin had kept those pictures all this time.

He took one of the pictures, examining it closely. "God, look at us," he said with a grin. "We looked so young."

I smiled and put my head on ponds shoulder

Pond wrapped an arm around Phuwin's shoulders, pulling him closer. He felt a pang in his chest at the sight of Phuwin's smile, feeling incredibly lucky to have him in his life.

He reached up and lightly ruffled Phuwin's hair, enjoying this moment of closeness. "You know, you're pretty cute, even in pictures," he teased, a fond smile on his face.

"oh god I was so nerdy there." I laughed

Pond chuckled, agreeing with Phuwin's assessment. "Yeah, you were a real nerd," he teased, gently nudging Phuwin's shoulder.

He looked at the picture again, taking in the sight of Phuwin's nerdy glasses and awkward smile. "But you were a cute nerd," he added with a smirk.

I smiled back and closed my eyes

Pond saw Phuwin close his eyes, a relaxed expression on his face. He watched him for a moment, feeling a sense of comfort in their closeness.

He shifted a bit so that he could pull Phuwin closer, their bodies now pressed against each other's. He wrapped both arms around Phuwin, gently resting his chin on Phuwin's head.

"good night, honey." this is fhe first time I've have pond a nickname so he was surprised especially since the nickname "honey" is very used for people who love each other a lot

Pond's heart fluttered at the unexpected nickname.

He wasn't used to Phuwin calling him anything other than his name, so "honey" came as a pleasant surprise. It made his chest feel a bit warm and fuzzy.

He tightened his arms around Phuwin, pulling him even closer.
"Good night, sweetheart," he said quietly, a soft smile on his face.
