Work Text:
the low hum of the air conditioner filled phuwin's living room condo. filming ended a little early today, so he and pond decided to hang out at his place since the latter didn't feel like going home yet.
both men were on opposite sides of the grey couch, eyes glued to their phones. phuwin was going over the script when he got to the part where peach and thee finally have their first kiss. being constantly online, he of course wasn't clueless to all the stuff being said about his kissing. did they sting and shake his confidence? yeah...maybe? okay definitely, probably just a little bit.
pond, usually all sunshine and rainbows and gentle phumeows, sat him down with the most serious look on his face, firmly telling him not to let all the hate get to him, and that he was better than they could all ever be.
he knows that kissing doesn't define who he is as an actor, but his competitive streak, along with his constant need to improve, wants to prove all those stupid faceless accounts wrong.
scratching his chin with his forefinger contemplatively, an idea popped into his mind.
he was a risk-taker, and pulling this shit he only saw in cheesy movies (and maybe from some fan fictions he secretly read in joylada) was definitely a risk he was willing to take. he averted his gaze from his phone to the man on the other end of the couch, lifting a foot to nudge at pond's thigh.
pond and his annoyingly handsome face looked up and gave him a gentle smile, 'what's up?
'i'm about to say something kinda stupid, and you're allowed to say no. if you don't want to, just forget i said anything, okay?'
pond's smile widened, sliding his big, warm hand on phuwin's foot that was still perched on the side of his thigh and wrapping them around his thin ankle. 'nothing you say can ever be stupid, phu.'
phuwin clicked his tongue as he tried to hide how tingly the sensation felt, 'i'm being serious!'
pond let out a chuckle, patting the top of phuwin's foot. 'okay, okay, young master. what is it?'
sitting straightly, phuwin cleared his throat, heart pounding.
'um...do you think we could...practice for peach and thee's upcoming kissing scene?' he asks unsurely, eyes avoiding pond's.
the hand that was gently caressing the top of his foot stopped, and so did phuwin's heart. this is stupid. what the fuck was he even thinking? they've kissed so many times, he's kissed other actors, even! why is he acting like a virginal (he is) high school student trying to get with his crush?
pond finally spoke, voice still gentle and warm, 'oh? i'm not saying no, okay? but why do you think we need to practice?'
he looked genuinely confused, as if phuwin grew two heads. all of a sudden, his gaze turned serious. 'wait a second, is this because of the comments about your kissing again? phuwin i already told you, you don't suck at it okay? please stop letting those useless comments get to you.'
phuwin let out a small chuckle, nervousness slowly dissipating. 'no it's not. or not really? i've just been skimming through the script. i just want to give my all for this show, okay? you may think you're the only one so excited over this, but i am too. just not at the level of sleeping next to my suit and tie like you probably do.'
'i do NOT sleep next to my suit and tie!' pond laughed, 'but i'm serious, your kissing is fine. but if you're dead set on proving those internet gremlins wrong, i'll be happy to help you prep, my little one. how do you wanna do this?' he let out a cheeky grin.
phuwin set his foot down on the floor and placed his phone on the coffee table, 'i want it to be as natural as possible, so we don't have to run through the script right now. you say my kissing is fine, but i know i can do better. my sad, inexistent love life unfortunately can't help me with this.'
pond's shoulders visibly stiffened, as if struck with something. running his tongue on the inside of his mouth, he finally nods.
'okay,’ he exhales, ‘but if in any moment you feel the slightest bit uncomfortable, tell me to stop and i will, alright? i don't want you to feel uneasy. i'm serious, phuwin.'
the other shifts closer, 'have you seen my muscles? i can pack a punch, you know?' phuwin jokes. when pond's serious gaze didn't falter, he sighs, 'yes, nara. i will.'
finally getting his confirmation, pond leans one hand on the seat, body half turned to the man beside him. phuwin's heart hasn't stopped pounding nervously when they finally locked gazes for what felt like an eternity. they stare at each other’s eyes for a little longer, as if looking for any signs of hesitation. once pond saw how sure phuwin was, he lets his fingers gently run through phuwin's soft locks, 'your hair's gotten so long,' he mutters, tucking the strands behind his ear.
phuwin wanted to crack a joke to slightly ease the growing tension, but his words got stuck in his throat once he felt pond run his thumb on his cheek, moving his face closer, eyes locked on his lips.
'don't forget, push me away or tell me to stop anytime, okay?' pond whispers, their mouths a few centimeters away from touching.
phuwin felt tingling in his stomach and on his lips as he feels the other's warm breath caress his lips. before he could even nod, pond seals the distance between their mouths, thick lips expertly moving, yet slow and gentle so as not to overwhelm the younger. phuwin matched his pace, feeling his heartbeat thundering even more and silently hoping pond doesn't hear or feel it.
kissing pond always felt like an out-of-body experience. phuwin, who was always used to taking the reins, feels his body become more pliant as he follows pond's lead. there were no cameras, no crews, no character he had to act as. it was just them in the safety of phuwin's condo.
pond's hand slid down his jaw, thumb slightly pulling down his chin, 'open your mouth wider,' he whispers hotly, lips still touching.
phuwin's breath hitched, slowly letting go of the little ounce of control he had left in his body and opens his mouth wider, deepening the kiss even more. the hand on the couch slid up phuwin's lower back, pulling him closer and making him wrap one arm around pond's strong neck, the other sliding up pond's bicep.
they were now full on making out, wet kissing noises and heavy breathing filling the air. pond suddenly pulls away slightly panting as phuwin looks at him confusedly with half-lidded eyes, flushed cheeks, and wet, swollen lips.
'still okay?' pond murmurs, thumb wiping away the spit on the side of phuwin's mouth. getting a nod from the other, pond dives back in.
they continue kissing for a few more seconds before phuwin feels a tongue swiping over his lower lip, coaxing him to open his mouth even more. he gasps and slightly jerks at the action, but as if intoxicated from how delicious the sensation felt, he allows the wet appendage in. mentally kicking away all the shyness and insecurity he was about to feel, he lets his tongue tangle with pond's, wrapping both arms around his neck to pull him closer.
pond groans in the kiss, sliding his hand down phuwin's back and snaking it around his impossibly tiny waist, the other pulling phuwin's right leg over his lap.
they lose themselves in each other as their lips and tongues continue to move in sync. when phuwin feels himself getting dizzy from the lack of air, he regrettably pulls away from the other's lips and unwraps his arms from pond's neck, sliding his hands down pond's broad shoulders to put a little distance between them. an uncontrolled small whine leaves his throat as he pants, feeling hot all over.
he gasps as he feels pond's lips leave a trail of hot pecks down the side of his neck. eventually, the pecks turned into full-on kisses, tongue licking up to the back of his ear and inhaling his sweet scent before suddenly stopping.
the older leaned his forehead on phuwin's shoulder, muttering a 'fuck' under his breath.
'i'm sorry, i got carried away.' his voice was gravelly even after clearing his throat. 'you're all good, phu. you don't need any more practice.'
phuwin runs his eyes over the other, notices how pond's ears were bright red and how the flush on his cheeks ran down his chest. his eyes trailed down his body and on pond's crotch, where a bulge has noticeably formed, a large hand quickly covering it from his view.
just as pond was about to push his leg away and stand up, phuwin locked his legs around the other tighter to maneuver himself on top. now sitting fully on pond's lap, he looks at the man through his lashes, biting the inside of his lip,
'but i didn't even tell you to stop.'
