"Hello.." Hao Tieng said finally picking up the phone he had been staring at for the past few minutes. To be honest, he was alittle bit scared to talk to the Immortal. The sun was setting and his parents were overjoyed with him finally turning into a dragon hence preparing a huge feast. You'd hear little calm humming sounds coming from the kitchen that followed a mouthwatering scent of variety of dishes. Hao Tieng had just gone back to his room to shower when he heard his phone ringing. He contemplated answering the call for a long time.
After the little talk he had with his Dragon in his head, he was more at ease now knowing that he was the actual destined mate of Gang Zhi plus the fact that he didn't have to feel guilty for falling in love with him which might have hurt Bing Wen was like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. After several more calls, Hao Tieng FINALLY answered the call.
"Why did you take so long to answer my call? I thought something had happened. How are you? What's going on over there? Are you alright? Did you connect with your dragon?" Hao Tieng heard Gang Zhi's manly worried voice, giving him a fuzzy feeling in his stomach. He didn't know how much he yearned for that voice until he heard it. He couldn't explain what he was feeling cause at that exact moment, it wasn't like the last time he had heard the immortal's voice. This time it.....was....more intense. It was like he could feel what Gang Zhi was feeling at that exact time despite being miles apart.
He tried calming himself down but the butterflies in his stomach weren't helping. He wanted to see the Immortal again. He wanted to stare into his eyes under the stars, kiss him without caring about where they were or who was watching them. He wanted to wake up everyday beside that gorgeous man. He wanted to love him with all he'd got and to be loved back. He longed for his touch, he wanted to feel those long slender fingers on his body again. He wanted... no .... needed to see Gang Zhi again.... today...Nowww!!!!!!
"Are you busy?" he finally managed to speak.
"Hao Tieng, you didn't answer my questions. Are you okay? Do you want me to come over?" Gang Zhi asked worry etched in his voice.
"Y-yesss. Please. Right now." Hao Tieng begged.
"What's wrong? Did something happen? Are you hurt?"
"No, am not. Everything's fine. It's just that...." Hao Tieng paused looking for a good enough lie to tell Gang Zhi. He wanted to tell the Immortal his good news but not through the phone. He wanted to tell him in person. Such good news shouldn't be delivered over the phone, it had to be done in person plus there was a not so hidden selfish motive why he wanted to see the Immortal. He just couldn't master up the courage to tell it to him. "Today is my parent's anniversary. It'll be really nice if you came and Yung Jen too." he added satisfied with his little lie. His parents wouldn't mind right. There was a lot of food. A few guests wouldn't really hurt anyone. Plus he could tell them they came to celebrate his good news.
"Ohhh. I would really love to come but I have dinner with my brothers, I can't ditch on them"
"Well.... In that case, they can come too. I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind a few extra guests."
"Hmmm... Ummm... I'll come first then Yung Jen will come with the others. Sound good."
"Yeahhh!!! That's fine..... See you then..."
"Sure...." and with that they both ended the call.
'I should go take a shower. I reek of grass and bird poop. Damn pooping birds.' Hao Tieng mused heading to the shower.
**********
"Was that Hao Tieng?" Yung Jen asked after her brother got off the phone.
"Yeah... We wants us to have dinner at his place. It's his parents' anniversary so he wants us to be there." Gang Zhi explained
"But I was making reservations for dinner at this new restaurant. You can't ditch on Quang Ho when your the one who invited him plus Yung Tang is also coming."
"Well then. Instead of having dinner at some dumb restaurant, wouldn't you prefer it if we ate at the Dragon Queen's place. Plus We're all invited and there are extra rooms so you can stay the night. So you can bring the guys , you'll find me there. " Gang Zhi said grabbing his coat. Clearly ignoring the dumb look his sister was giving him.
"Wait!!! Did you just say Dragon Queen's place? How is the Dragon Queen connected to Hao Tieng?" Yung Jen asked. She had stopped listening to her brother when she heard 'Dragon Queen'.
Gang Zhi who had furrowed his brows at his sister's question finally remembered that he hadn't quite told Yung Jen what really happened when he went to Hao Tieng's home. "I didn't tell you , did I ?" Gang Zhi said scratching the back of his neck.
"Obviously not!!" Yung Jen immediately replied.
"Remember that stupid prophecy about The Quadbrid's mate being the Dragon Queen's second son??? You know where they said The Eovuss will rule with The Xyndyn."
"U-Huh?"
"Turns out it's not so stupid after all since....." Gang Zhi hesitated for a second. "Hao Tieng is the Dragon Queen's second son. We have the same Dragon Mark. He's The Xyndyn."
"Hao Tieng, the dude who didn't know anything about supernaturals is a Dragon Prince. Hao Tieng, the dude who looked like a powdered donut when he found who we were is a Dragon!!!! ...Cool."
"You took that better than I thought you would. Since everything is out now, I'm leaving." Gang Zhi said heading for the door.
"Brother. Wait. You know there's more to the prophecy and if it's real and you guys have found each other then you know what's coming next ."
"I know. I've been thinking about that ever since I found out."
"Then you need to mate with Hao Tieng as soon as possible because if it happens before you guys mate then there's going to be alot of havoc in the supernatural world. The mating will make both you and Hao Tieng powerful. Powerful enough to stop it before it happens. Powerful to become the leader you're born to be."
"I know! Can we just not think about this right now? Let's just go and enjoy dinner. All I want right now is to see Hao Tieng again..... I'm leaving. Bring your brothers. You know where the Dragons' territory is. We'll be there and please don't say anything to Hao Tieng. He's got a lot on his mind right now. I don't want to stress him even more." Gang Zhi said before exiting the room.
'He's right but he needs to mate but then he's right at the same time.... I shouldn't think about this. Let me just wait for Quang Ho and Yung Tang so we can go together' she mused.
