The night moon rather intrigued me this time, and after our meals, I sat there gazing at the night sky. I suddenly had an urge to go out and feel the night breeze, wanted to see people roaming on streets, wanted to see my family, and of course, I wanted to see Dayligh play basketball.
Every night is the same because during the day Dayligh keeps me company but the nights feel cold and lonely. Even though we both share the same room, I still feel despondent. I don't want to feel like this because these feelings will drag me down and I will no longer be able to find an escape from this place.
I glanced towards Dayligh and then picked up the book I was reading. I adjusted myself on the sofa and then positioned myself so that I felt comfortable. I continued reading from where I left to find out more about this mysterious planet.

My breathing became abrupt and my cheeks flushed and before I knew it I was already on top of him. I wasn't sure if he was sleep talking or everything he was doing was intentional but my body was not normal and not obeying me. There was nothing holding me back but my body was reluctant to obey and soon the horror happened. Dayligh woke up and at that moment I sincerely hoped all of this to be a dream.
"Ah! I can't move, what's wrong with me?" his eyes were filled with horror. "And what are you doing on top of me?" he shouted this time with the same eyes.
"And your collar, it's blinking", he noticed while unable to move.
"I..I don't know what is happening Dayligh but my body feels hot and I don't know why but I feel weird inside", I spoke in a trembling voice.
"No way, you are lying, get off me this instant," his voice sounded somewhat cracked.
As soon as I heard those words, my body started to react on its own. I retaliated while sweat gushed out of my body. I got chills all over and my mind went blank. What was happening? Why was I acting like that? Everything was starting to become a normal daily routine but why suddenly something like this happening?
Is..is it my hidden desire? Or has it been too long since I last masturbated? But no, that can't happen because I didn't feel the need, and I never ever thought about doing it here of all places. Nothing is clear right now but the involuntary actions performed by my body were now a cause of concern.
I felt suffocated and the only desire I had at that time was another person's touch. But the only person around me was my newly formed friend, Dayligh and I knew that this friendship was bound to break once I regained my senses. There was horror in Dayligh's eyes and fear in mine.
But due to my sudden retaliation, Dayligh got flustered and approached me in hurry. "Hey, are you alright?" were the words he spoke before I realized how close he was. I was frozen on the spot and he approached while I panted on the ground. "Do you think you can get up?" he forwarded his hand towards me. I offered my trembling hand towards him and as soon as he grabbed my hand, I fainted.

I opened my eyes and my head felt dizzy. I raised my head to get up and a wet towel dropped from my forehead. I looked beside me and there I saw Dayligh sleeping on the sofa. I blinked my eyes a few times and found myself on the bed, perfectly tucked with a cover over me. I checked my collar and it was not blinking anymore. As my eyes lay on the wet towel I realized that something was definitely wrong with me last night.
Then I pressed the button on my collar and checked my vitals but everything seemed fine. And due to the noise from the collar, Dayligh also woke up. He rubbed his eyes and stared at me for some time. He then hurriedly approached me and touched my forehead. His hands were cold probably because he was sleeping on the sofa without a cover or because I was blushing real hard.
"You scared me last night, Altraz," his voice sounded worried. I could feel his steady heartbeat next to me and meanwhile, my heart was similar as if after running a marathon. I turned my head towards the other side when he asked me if I was feeling alright? To which I only responded with a nod. He gave a sigh of relief and our day continued as usual. He didn't ask me anything about yesterday's event and neither did I. He told me to take the medicine just in case but I refused since I was feeling alright. Ms. Edina came to check up and told us not to worry since it was just a normal fever.
Our day continued followed by the same routine, eating, reading books meditating a little, and then night followed by chatting, mostly me educating Dayligh about this planet, before going to bed. "Do you know what Dayligh, why they chose these cylindrical capsules to reside in and not any other geometric shape? They could have gone for a circle or a rectangle, right!" I asked him while turning towards his side so I could see his face.
"What! I don't know but imagining other shapes sure sounds absurd," he laughed lightly.
"Haha, yeah they do. Well actually, cylindrical tubing requires less material while offering the same amount of space on the inside. This makes the tubing lighter and cheaper. Since they have less surface area, friction is also reduced, increasing flow and efficiency. Amazing right!" I sounded rather proud explaining this to him. He remained quiet for some time so as I was about to ask him another question he halted me midway.
"To be honest, I was scared yesterday," he paused. I got startled for a second but then the memories became vivid and hence my embarrassment. "Of course, you were, anyone would be scared if they encountered something like that," I spoke in a low tone out of embarrassment.
"Yeah! so please don't fall ill from now on, if anything like that happens again wake me up by any means possible just like yesterday", he tossed around and greeted me good night.
Meanwhile, I tried to conclude his words and was shocked at how he interpreted the whole situation. Is he that simple-minded? Yes, he surely is. Because tomorrow was a disaster and still he is taking everything as normal. He sure sees the positive in everything and that makes me glad. But I still don't understand why out of nowhere I fell ill and when Dayligh touched me and ordered me to move around, my body reacted on its own. This is quite unusual. I also searched through the books for more information on collars today but it only provides the information we are already aware of. With these thoughts, I soon fell asleep and the next thing I remember was lying in Dayligh's arms while he stroked my naked body gently.

Sneak peek at the next chapter...
I was so scared but I was also not in my right mind. His cold hands felt good and my body was reacting to his every touch. I was quite determined to not let out any weird noise but soon when he reached further down, I let out a moan. My face flushed and my legs curled up but he comforted me and told me to relax. My burning body was listening to his every command and succumbing to his words.
