Personal Powers: Acceptance

Ethan and Dylan

"You up?" Asked Dylan as he stood up and looked over me from the side of the bed.

He was dressed just like a businessman. White button up shirt, blue tie, black suit, and black dress shoes. He's growing up so fast!

Although he looked as beautiful as ever, his appearance did not make me forgive him from last night. He and I had to share a bed together and don't get me wrong but it wasn't how I planned it.

Throughout the whole night, he kept stealing my side of the covers. I was exposed to the cold air of the room!

In addition, he kicked me a few times. For a calm person, Dylan sure moves a lot when sleeping. This boy couldn't keep his limbs to himself!

"Yea, I'm up" I finally responded.

I stood from the bed as well. I dragged my body towards the bathroom and I closed the door behind me.

My morning routine has not changed since I turned fifteen. It has always been shower and then brushing my teeth. But something about today made it different.

While taking a shower, Dylan opened the door and rushed in.

"Dylan! What are you doing?!" I screamed from the shower. This was an invasion of privacy!

"My bad Ethan, I had to pee" he said as I heard him unbutton his pants.

"You could've knocked. I could've been standing in the middle of the bathroom naked!".

I wasn't angry at him, but I tried to make it seem like I was. I love messing with him, it was hilarious.

"Can't talk Ethan, must pee" he responded.

The sound of his liquid hitting the water of the toilet filled the bathroom. It was truly unpleasant. 

"Ugh, get out Dylan" I said after he finished.

"Jeez, you're so impatient!" He said and left the bathroom.

Dylan is such a weird human being. His way of interacting with me always baffles me. He's caring and funny but sometimes he can be spontaneous which I sometimes do not like.

After he left, I stood under the shower and just like everyone else does, I thought for a moment.

What's going on between Dylan and I?

I mean, I know we're just friends but is there a chance for more? Ever since he started talking to me, I've been feeling an invisible attraction to him.

Is like I'm being reminded of why I had feeling for him in the first place. These feeling have resurfaced and are now all over my face.

Maybe it's too quick for me to be thinking about this stuff. I'm still stuck on Logan and he's still stuck on London. Their deaths were so sudden and quick. Both of us were devastated and felt like a part of our world was cut off.

I felt like I had to remind myself of what I should do. I couldn't afford getting distracted from what was important.

"Ethan, this is not the time for you to think of this. Focus on helping the world instead, that's what matters" I said to myself as I grabbed the shampoo.

I repeated those two sentences three times. My main priority was to keep balance in the world.

****Dylan's POV****

"Hurry up Ethan, we're going to be late!" I screamed from the bed.

Ethan was taking too long in the bathroom. What was he doing? Thinking about how to conquer the world?
