y'all, I'm really sorry for this one, I did not mean for it to be this thirsty, I swear
No see, listen--shut up, listen--I was thinking about Troy and then of course the Odyssey we all missed out on, which naturally led to thinking about the various iconic scenes we could've had, and OBVIOUSLY the siren scene is at the top of that list, and I was playing with how to depict the effect of their song, and I've used this look before with Eugenides with pretty good results, but then I was reflecting on how aside from VFX this scene would take a lot of body acting, and how Sean's so good at conveying pain and that would translate naturally into the seduction of the spell, and huh when I write it out like that I absolutely did intend for it to be this thirsty.
Man I hope one of my manuscripts gets picked up soon; being off-deadline is not healthy for me.

-Back on the Beat-
Part 3. 05
November 3rd, 7:15am
Porchay's phone wakes him up far earlier than he wanted to be awake this morning. He was up late playing video games and didn't get to bed until nearly 2am.
Strangely enough, Kim didn't reply to the song he'd sent last night. Kim was typically late to bed, late to rise and had been for as long as Porchay had known him.
Looking at his phone, Porchay realises Kim probably went to bed early in order to be awake at this hour.
Porchay blinks, suddenly feeling a lot more awake.
He… he thinks that he's figured out what Kim has been doing with these songs.
He can’t believe he was so slow to catch on, but it's so obvious now, looking back at their messages and the songs Kim has been sending him.
He feels so embarrassed about the song from last night. He only wanted to recommend Kim something more uplifting. Kim has probably been thinking that Porchay has been sending him messages via music too.
He opens up his web browser.
Oh God.
He can't believe he sent Kim this this song.
At least it's sort of accurate, Porchay thinks desperately. Even if he hadn't wanted Kim to know just yet.
He doesn't know what to do.
He could be wrong. It is possible that it’s a total coincidence, and Kim just listens to sad, longing love songs on the regular. Except Kim is so analytical and detailed… there's no way it's a coincidence, he wouldn’t miss something like this even if it did start that way. It all makes sense and Porchay is going to jump out the window.
Okay. He takes a deep breath.
This is an opportunity.
He did tell himself that he would let Kim make the next move. It's ridiculous and backhanded and not at all what Porchay had been expecting, but if Kim is asking for his forgiveness via song lyrics, then it totally counts as a move. Which means that the ball is now in Porchay’s court.
He looks down at his phone.
What does he really need from Kim? He's still hung up on what happened, but he also wants to move past it. He wants to forgive Kim, he wants to date him again. So what does he need from Kim to do that?
Porchay feels eagerness beginning to stir in him. He takes a breath and forces himself to calm down. He won't get his hopes up. He won't.
He already knows a song that would work well enough, so he sends it to Kim and locks his phone.
It's up to Kim now how he responds, though if Porchay receives an apology song back, he might just throw his phone into Tankhun's fish pond.
He deserves more than that, surely.
He yawns.
Porchay doesn't need to be anywhere today. He may as well get some more sleep, and then he'll find some way to fill his day.
He puts his phone back on his night stand and snuggles up into his blankets.
Sleep comes quickly.
It's 6:50pm and Porchay is grabbing his things to head to Tankhun’s rooms for movie night when he hears a knock on his door.
"Yes?" He calls out.
"Khun Porchay," his guard, Nok, calls through the door "Khun Kim is here to see you. Are you available?"
Porchay stills.
What? Kim came to see him?
…
"Khun?" Nok calls again
Porchay jolts and quickly grabs his dirty clothes to throw into the laundry hamper and begins grabbing food wrappers for the bin.
"Yes! Sorry!" He tosses the couch pillows back onto the couch haphazardly and kicks an old soft drink bottle under the bed "Yes I'm available. Send him in!" Oh! His dinner plates are still on the coffee table... he moves to stand in front of them.
Porchay quickly straightens his hair, and then his clothes. Damn, he's still in the pyjamas he changed into for movie night.
Wait, movie night!
The door opens.

Sorry, been binge watching a certain show's old episodes for the past couple days, and my hand slipped during late night practice today. If you recognize this then you know how the rest of this exchange goes :^).
Expect more stupid jokes like this, but not with these goofs.
