DANIEL HARPER
So far, Malaysia has been amazing. Never before have I seen such a surreal place. Honestly, sometimes I can't even render that this place is real. It feels like something out of a fantasy book, where only the most beautiful flora grows and the best weather exists.
"Lucien!" I called out to him. He walked out of the bathroom, a towel around his waist, putting on moisturizer. Finally after months of convincing him, he finally has a somewhat normal skincare routine.
"Yes, my love?" Lucien asked. Ever since everything that happened, Lucien has been more caring. He's attended a few therapy sessions and I can definitely see the changes.
For example, there was a mix-up when we first arrived because the hotel had given us white wine instead of red. Pre-therapy Lucien would've yelled at someone and threatened their life. Instead, Lucien just called the front desk and let them know of their mistake and it was resolved quickly.
"There's a group going on a hike! Can we go?!" I asked.
"Of course, Danny. Anything you want to do, we'll do it." He replied.
Thankfully, I packed clothes for everything that I could think of that we might do. So it was a matter of putting on my clothes. I also threw Lucien's clothes at him and he put them on too. We almost didn't make it out of the room because I couldn't stop rubbing Lucien's body since the tight shirt fitted on his torso ever so perfectly.
The hike, which led us up a mountain side and gave us a panorama view of the jungle canopy and Andaman Sea, took a few hours. We were joined by a tour guide who was charming, but Lucien made sure that I didn't stare at him.
I truly cherished what I had with Lucien. I was lucky that we were both still here and that we haven't lost each other. Even if Lucien was broke and was a worm, I would still love him. There have been times when we both would have lost each other, either with our own actions or someone else's.
Still, we persevered, not letting our love die. It's a dream that not many could experience. Unconditional love. No matter how much I may hate Lucien some days, the love that I have still prevails.
"Danny, have you seen my shorts that make me look bigger?" Lucien asked, walking into the room wearing nothing but a white button up shirt with red flowers on it.
I stood up and walked to one of the drawers. My hand reached in and pulled it out quickly. Lucien stood flabbergasted.
"I swear I checked in there." He said.
"I know where everything is, Lucien. Just say the name and I'll know where it is." I said. Lucien listed off a few things, such as the first aid kit and check book, and I correctly told him where it was. Needless to say, I'll be the one to come to when something is lost.
We both trekked out of our room and walked to the first floor of the hotel. We walked around and admired the architecture of this place. There was a restaurant that we stumbled upon. Since we were hungry and had worked up an appetite because of... earlier activities... we figured lunch was in the works.
