Saint watched Heart stare off out the window eyes widened with excitement.
“What are you doing looking out the window so intently?” Saint asked.
Heart looked up at him.
“I haven’t been to the beach in years. I think the last time was a school trip.”
“Why the beach isn’t far.”
“I know, but between Min and always having to work or classes and studying. I just have never had the time.”
“It’s so mesmerizing.”
“Yeah, it is.” Saint said, watching Heart carefully, his chest aching with longing, desire, and a feeling he hoped would go away. A desperate desire to be accepted and wanted back.
“Beaches are mesmerizing, beautiful and crystal clear. It makes you wonder how nature, or who could have made something so beautiful and lovely.”
Heart turned to him and smiled.
“It’s even prettier in the rain, after a storm, during one. When it is all stirred up and in turmoil, it reminds us how small everything really is when you are staring into something out of your control.”
“It’s chaotic, like life.”
Heart reached out and gently put his hand on top of Saint’s. Saint looked down at his slender long fingers, he slid them gently atop back and forth like a gentle scratching motion without nails. A gentle rub of comfort.
Saint looked up slowly. His eyes trailing across Heart slowly. Shivers exploded across his body in response.
A wild desire burst inside him, eating him away, burning uncontrollably.
Saint gulped, before turning away from Heart his voice catching in the back of his throat. He looked out his window towards the trees and buildings.

“I wish I could see it. The waves after a storm.” Heart said softly.

‘You have no idea what you are trying to unlock, kid. No idea how much I want to keep it behind a closed door.’ Saint sighed and looked down, pulling out his phone and clicked something on it pulling up a travel app to search for other hotels.
Driver, I changed my mind, pull over at the nearest beach entrance.
***
Heart got out of the car stretching and gulped in the fresh ocean air.
Saint stepped out of the cab after paying. Then headed to the trunk and started to unload the bags.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to take your bags ahead to the hotel? Or even you guys?” He asked, looking them both up and down in their suits.
Saint pulled out the last bag, then closed the trunk.
“We don’t have a hotel to go to.” He said seriously.
“The cabbie looked at them both. You came all this way and don’t have a hotel?”
“Visiting family?”
Saint shook his head no somberly.
The cabbie’s eyes bulged. “In high season.. Good luck.” He started the car up and drove away from the two of them on the side of the road.
Heart looked at Saint curiously as he got out his phone and called someone.
“Kit, I know you are busy with Ten but try to find us a place to stay as soon as you get this message.” Saint said quickly before hanging up.
He stared at his screen, squinting to see it in the bright sunlight.
Heart observed it. With a small snicker.
‘No matter how far apart our worlds are, sometimes they touch, lightly upon each other sometimes.’
Heart walked back and forth behind Saint carefully peering now and again trying to see.
He smiled as it finally worked and his shadow cast across most of the phone screen. Providing relief for Saint.
Saint moved the phone down an inch and Heart smiled as his shadow covered the entire screen perfectly.
‘Yes, see, despite being shorter than Saint, I still helped.’ Heart thought proudly. Then peered at the screen.
“What are you doing?” Heart asked.
“Since Kit may not call back right away, I am trying to use these travel apps.”
“Oh, really let me show you. My sister Min and I used one when I had to help the school committee plan a trip for school.” Heart leaned over Saint’s arm, the soft scent of the ocean mixed with the light smell of Saint’s sweat tickled Heart’s nose gently, and he found that he didn’t mind it at all. Heart cleared his throat in hopes it would clear his thoughts from Saint’s smell and the bulging veins and muscles in Saint’s arms and body as he leaned against him and supported Heart’s weight.
Heart took one last look at Saint’s muscles before giving the new phone and screen his full attention.
He scrolled down looking at the price matcher, that you could type the name of any city into and it would show you all hotels across all websites and the best guaranteed rate, Heart clicked on the options they needed and sighed then looked up at Saint feeling slightly annoyed.
“Just as I thought, you can’t get a hotel in Phuket in peak season for the same night. No one books like that…”
“How could you fly us here without a reservation?” Heart asked. Giving Saint a dirty glare.
“I had a reservation at that hotel we were at before.”
Heart’s mouth dropped.
“What?”
“What do you mean, we had a reservation?”
“I called in advance last week and when they heard we were supposed to be partnering with the hotel, they offered to give us the presidential suite.”
Heart closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
“So why didn’t we take it?”
“Because I was trying to find out how they treat regular guests.”
“Couldn’t you have found that out some other time?”
Saint looked down at him icily.
“No.”
“I refuse to partner with anyone who will treat someone who is in another class so utterly and completely different from someone else, just because of what they were born into. Privilege does not negate the need of another person. Ever.” He hissed, his voice thick with anger.
Heart reached out and touched Saint’s hand gently, his eyebrows creased with understanding and compassion.
“The world is full of people who will always step on and use people to further their own goals. We don’t need more people like that. And I especially don’t want to fund anyone who has that attitude.”
Heart nodded.
“I think you are right.”
“Come on, let’s go see the beach. You haven’t been in a long time right.” Saint looked down at him and smiled, gently. The first honest, gentle smile he had ever seen.
