Chapter 34 - 34. Progress

There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life - happiness, freedom, and peace of mind - are always attained by giving them to someone else." - Peyton Conway March

We were happy, Adrian, Adrian and I.
We were happy and that made my dad and his parents happy. It's like we were spreading happiness all around us and we didn't care who found out that we were a couple.
Even at school, they found out that we were together after a while and the girls were really sad.
Some dudes thought they could bully us, you know, two guys dating, but what era was this? And the best way to deal with such people is to show them that you don't care. And we didn't care.

Remember my seatmate? The one who had sent me to Adrian to ask him to date her? Yeah, that one. She was asking me how nature could be so cruel as to pair two of the most hottest guys she had ever seen together and she, a beautiful girl, was alone. It was all unfair according to her but I smiled at her and told her that it was all written in the stars. (That's my dad's quote and I didn't even know what it meant. I guess the stars have somewhere one can write. Or the gods maybe. Who knows? Or did my dad mean that since Adrian and I were fated to be together then... Maybe)

Having Adrian in my life just brings this feeling of euphoria whenever I think of him. It has been a week since we did, ahem... dual cultivation, and our powers have increased. But more than theninvrwase of our powers, I can't believe that he is mine. Adrian is mine. I made love to him... Wow!
We are able to sense spiritual fluctuations in the air and somehow, somehow, Adrian and I are able to absorb the spiritual energy in the air into our bodies and whenever we do that, our powers increase. Though this is happening at a slow rate because our world doesn't have that enough mana. (Mana is the name of the spiritual energy we absorb into our bodies. How did I know this, thank the oracle.)

Right now, other than being able to sense that someone or an animal is sick, I am able to heal minor ailments. I can now talk to animals and control them and my flying speed has also increased. On the other hand, Adrian is able to control gravity. Like, he can float on air and raise water although not in large proportions and it's so sexy I swear.
Whenever we are practicing and he floats on air and has water floating all around him, he looks like an ethereal being. He is so handsome that it hurts whenever I don't have him by my side.
Don't get me wrong. I just don't love Adrian because he is handsome. No. That would be very vain of me. I love him because of the way he loves me. He never ceases to show me how much I mean to him and I mean, come on, who wouldn't fall head over heels for such a man. So, him being handsome is an added benefit.


It's all amazing but we haven't forgotten of what we are being prepared for? What kind of aliens will we have to fight so as to keep our planet safe and as we know it? I don't know and I don't want to find out. I just want us to get stronger and stronger for any
eventualities.
For this very reason, we are practicing almost daily and make sure that we go to the mountain where the concentration of mana is the highest. Not where we were for our first date, no. Another one a bit far from the city.

And yes.... we have a date today! (Ah, it never gets old. It really never does. Every day feels new to me.) As usual, both Adrian and I don't like noisy places and guess where we are going? Did you guess it right? Yes, we are going to the mountain (Mount Kril) where he first confessed to me. We have not been there for long and we decided to go there to rewind after a long week. What with school and all the cultivation? It was a nice way to let go of all the stress.

This time, I helped prepare everything because I have powers now and I wanted to be involved. By the way, since we both turned, we eat much much more than we used to before. It was weird then when we each used to eat like three portions of food each. Imagine the looks we would get in hotels when each of us ordered portions for five people and cleared it? No need for such attention and we prefer having such private dates. You know, just the two of us where A could lead to B and B leads to dual cultivation. (Ha ha ha!) I know you know what I mean. It's that part that I love the most. That moment when Adrian's and my body are melded together and sweating and feeling each other inside out, that moment when actions are enough to say what we each feel, that moment when Adrian is me and I am him. Yes. That's the moment I look forward to most.

After classes this last weekday, we teleported to the mountain top from my house this time. Ai! This will never get old. The feeling of gliding in air and getting to places within seconds! It is a good feeling and I always think Adrian sexy whenever he pulls such feats. Oh, and by the way, did I tell you that we now have learnt how to build spheres whenever we want to hide ourselves from public view? Yes, like if I want to fly to school, I just build an invisible air sphere around me and fly and people won't be able to see me. Nice, right?

It was all nice progress and what I loved about all this, is that this deal came with Adrian.

Whatever happens, I am happy having him by me.
Adrian is me and I am him.
