#imagine peem's friends but q especially constantly teasing peem about his 'internet boyfriend'

[jojotichakorn]

au where phum, after coming back to thailand, copes with his loneliness by watching lots of gay shows and ends up stanning them on social media, where he then follows and eventually starts talking to a user who posts a lot of cool fanart for those shows. they become long distance friends who know the most intimate details of each other's lives but have also never seen each other and don't know each other's real names. so, of course, when phum kicks a ball into peem's painting, he has no idea that he's just ruined a work of art his internet bestie talked to him about literally yesterday.

despite usually telling his long distance friend everything, phum does not mention peem directly or in detail, because he feels like the slave deal sounds mean and doesn't want his bestie to think badly of him. and so shenanigans ensue and it takes phumpeem months to figure out that they've actually been internet friends for years. bonus points if the realisation only fully hits peem in the conversation with beer, because "he was sent away abroad alone by his parents when he was five" is a story that's too specific to have happened twice, and phum has been reminding him of his internet friend/crush already anyway.
