by xXILoveMyFridgeXx

They were only supposed to have a date on the beach, why did it have to rain?   “Tine.” Sarawat says softly, gently poking and prodding at him from where he hid under the blankets. “It really is okay. I know how much you wanted to go to the beach, but we can always wait for tomorrow–”He stopped short when Tine flipped the covers, revealing his distraught expression, a frown curling up on his lips. “I only wanted to go because I wanted you to have fun.”

going all lovey-dovey on

by planetmrk

"So you really don't have an ideal type?" Hao presses the issue. "I don't think so? I mean… I've never really… thought about it? Like if there's a connection and mutual interest or whatever, that's cool, but I don't think any of the people I've dated in the past had anything in common." "But if you had the chance to date again, would you?" Matthew shrugs in response, "What the hell, sure." OR Matthew's best friend Zhang Hao sends him on a quest to find a boyfriend. The only problem however, is that his best friend just might have been the perfect suitor he was looking for all this time.
