Arnold's Adventure: A Life On Earth

Chapter 7: Personal History

A woman with a high golden collar walked into a hallway with the man with cyan hair who was wearing a green robe following behind.
They stopped halfway through the hallway before she turned around.
"either you stop the war now Henriclor, or the it'll be a galatic war. You know how the Venusers are, they're attracted to war. You'll just start a bigger one" she told the man sternly
He looked at her for a moment before saying
"Then war it shall be, after all the mercurians took something from us. We want it back"

Arnold yawned as he opened his eyes.
He was in the cabin again on a bunk.
He noticed arms wrapped around him.
Arnold smiled gently as he looked up to see Adrian's head next to his.
He kissed Adrian's forehead gently and sat up in the bed.
He was still wearing his clothes from yesterday when he fell asleep.
Arnold looked over towards the window to see the bright sunlight barely making it into the room because the orange smokey fog had returned.
Adrian yawned and sat up too.
"i see you're awake now" he said before he kissed Arnold's lips softly
Arnold smiled gently and defensively said
"it was late, I was exhausted from the day we had, and the music made me sleepy"
Adrian simply smiled and him before kissing him and saying
"ima head back to bed"
Before falling back onto his pillow and closing his eyes.
Within seconds Arnold could tell he was already sleeping from his chest slowly going up and down in heavy breaths.
Arnold climbed down off the top bunk and noticed a note lying on the table near one of the armchairs.
It read:

To Arnold
I noticed during the performance last night you were asleep so you missed the queen's speech.

You'll start work tommorow in base 10 and Adrian in base 6

I'll tell you more when I get back from work

I'll be back around 11pm

- Dad

P.S breakfast is in cupboard 3

Arnold glanced back up at Adrian who was lying in the bed before he glanced at the digital clock embedded in the wall
It read 07:12
"i suppose I can sleep in an extra hour or two" he whispered to himself quietly before taking his black blazer and white shirt off.
He then climbed onto the top bunk, slipped beneath the covers and wrapped his arms around his shirtless Adrian.

Arnold woke to see Adrian's eyes staring into his own
"morning" Arnold yawned before kissing his boyfriend's warm soft lips
It took Arnold about a minute to wake up properly before looking at the clock it was 10:00 am
"i must've slept well" he said to himself before sitting up and climbing down again.
Adrian followed him down this time.
"what's for breakfast?" he asked Arnold as he sat down on one of the armchairs.
"my Dad said it was in cupboard three"
Arnold told Adrian before looking around for cupboard three.
He walked to over to the mall kitchen part of the cabin in the right hand side of the big cabin.
He noticed the cupboards above the counter was labeled 1 to 6 and the cupboards under the counter was labeled A to F.
Arnold reached up and opened cupboard three and noticed large boxes of cereal.
He pulled one of the boxes out of the cupboard and sat it on the counter before stopping and having just one thought in his head
"Adrian?" he said quietly
"Yeah?" Adrian replied
"do you think we'll ever get home again?" Arnold asked before starting to tear up
"what if we're stuck here on this wasteland forever" he sobbed
Adrian walked up and turned Arnold around, placed their foreheads together and said in a quiet reassuring gentle voice
"even if we don't, which we hopefully do though, we'll always have each other. Nothing is going to change that, now you go sit down and I'll make breakfast"
Arnold could feel tears running down his face. He had no idea why he was crying.
Perhaps it was the thought that life may never be the same.
Mabey it's the thought everything might change.
He hugged the still topless Adrian and walked over to the other armchair and sat down.
"Mabey it's just time for change" he thought to himself.
It was only about a minute before Adrian came back with their cereal.
Arnold smiled at Adrian softly before saying
"thank you Adrian. I love you"
They gazed into each others beautiful eyes for a moment before Adrian smiled back and said
"I love you too, My shining star"
