Since it is my birthday I decided to post an extra chapter. Hope you guys enjoy.
High stared at him and gulped. Mark reached out his hand to grab High’s wrist, but hesitated, his hand hovering in the air almost as if he couldn’t budge it an inch closer.
“What?” High asked, confused. Thinking he hadn’t heard him right.
“I don’t even know your name, why are you begging me to touch you, is this what you do?”
“You seem so innocent. Do you know what those words can mean to a random stranger on the street? Are you naive? What if you ran into someone who wasn’t me tonight?”
What if you ran into someone who wasn’t raised to be a gentleman to someone regardless of their gender?
High sighed. “I just met you and I am lecturing you. Gosh, if Nine could see me now he would mock me.”

“Nine?” Mark commented.

“Please, can you touch me?” Mark repeated, his voice almost breaking, his body wobbled, and High peered closer. His eyes widened.
‘Were his eyes welling with tears? Was he shaking?’
“Hey, hey, hey, it’s okay.” High walked up to the kid’s side and wrapped his arms around him sliding one hand onto his arm to steady him as the kid fell into his open arms.
“I’m sorry, I was being too harsh. My brother says I nag at people too much. I wasn’t trying to be mean. It’s just the first time I have ever heard someone beg me to touch them.” He said trying to laugh it off because he was so surprised.
‘This kid doesn’t know what he was saying, who he had been teasing right now. I really had this urge to take him up on his offer. I was half a breath away from saying yes.’
“My name is Mark Prathip Wattana, I got into this Uni because of an athletic scholarship, which is what my dad wants, and I want to make him happy, but really I like flowers. I want to be a florist someday. I have actually seen you around campus a lot, you are really easy to notice since your hair is so long, and your eyes are…” He trailed off staring up at High as if he mesmerized him or something.
“And I have never touched anyone before this. No one at all! Not even my mom or dad, well not for very long and only over my clothes. I have never been able to come skin to skin with anyone in my life. I have never been hugged, or held, or, or, or.” He stared at him in agony stuttering it all out as tears streamed down his face.
“I am not a crazy person trying to pick up people off the street, I just never touched anyone or have been able to be touched by anyone ever.”
“I know I sound dumb, I know I probably sound like a freak but I can’t help it. I dunno why, but when I touched you it didn’t feel like I was being eaten alive by fire ants, or that I was suffocating on my own breath and I really have no idea why any of this is happening.”
“All I know is I am scared, so scared, but so happy and for some reason we can do this.” Mark held up their hands and stared at them in utter disbelief.
“I thought it was a fluke, that I was remembering wrong. I feel like this must be a nightmare and I am going to wake up and discover that all of this is fake. That I dreamed you up.”
“Really, I have never been able to touch anyone else. It’s the truth!”
His eyes became giant brown saucers that were sucking the life out of High’s will begging him to believe him.
High looked at him, incredulous.
The kid deflated and fell to his knees and stared up into High’s eyes pouting. But the entire time he held tightly to High’s hand unwilling to let go.
High almost jumped back, there was pain there, real desperate, innocent, pain and loneliness.
High felt like his heart was breaking.
He couldn’t even imagine the pain this kid had gone through.
Thanks so much!!!!!
