Diyue Prompt - From Lu to Chya and Vice Versa

Chapter 11

It was an usual day and unusual day at the same time for them.

Yue and Dylan.

The way they embraced each other on the couch.

It had almost the same feeling with their times embracing each other in the forest hut, except for the big difference in the comfort of the place.

Couch vs wood bed?

Of course, any normal person would choose a couch. But for Dylan, as long as he has Yue beside him, every place was okay.

He looked down, and he saw her, sleeping so soundly on his chest. Smiling, he suddenly remembered the moment before. The moment when they played together, with foam and sponge, until they're too tired to play again when they fell together on the couch.

Or...

Maybe not too tired, but too comfortable.

He tried to close his eyes as he tried to sleep again, but he failed. Somehow, he still feels those feelings. Nervous, dilemma, agitated and all others, you name it.

He's (still) not used to the modern world. He used to live naturally in the forest. With his hut, his friends and all. But now, he's with her, living in her house, with all the new things he never remembered that he ever used those things before.

He saw television. A big rectangle thing that has a lot of things inside. He remembered that he was so surprised when Yue turned the television on. A tiger showed up at the screen and roared. He immediately ran towards the back of the couch, hiding. But then Yue came and sat beside him. Patting his hand, she tried to calm him as she explained about the television and how it works.

So he calmed.

Then... he suddenly remembered again about the helicopter. The helicopter who brought him and Yue from the island to the civilization. He remembered that he was so scared when the helicopter began to take off and made him fly.

He felt like a bird.

He could see the island from the sky, minutes by minutes, seconds by seconds, the island began to disappear from his sight.

The island of hope, as he named it.

And when his hope that he would be back to the civilization was granted, he felt the opposite. He thought that he would be happy, but instead, he felt anxious. He had that uneasy feeling in his heart. He's scared. He's in fear. He's afraid to go back to modern life.

Could he adapt to that kind of new life?

He didn't know.

And now, when they're at the hundreds of feet high, he felt nervous. He kept on quiet, his heart pounded so hard as they fly, and somehow, he didn't realize that his face was pale at that time, but Yue noticed. She then hold his hand, entwined it with hers as she smiled reassuringly to him.

So he calmed...

He remembered again when he rode the car for the first time as soon as they arrived at the airport. He closed his eyes tightly as the car began to move, ready for another takeoff. But it didn't happen. The car stay moved on the ground, not like the helicopter before. He just wanted to heave a sighed of relieved, when suddenly the car started to run fast and the driver began to overtake left and right. So he was pale again as his pulse began to beat faster. And again, she noticed.

She held his hand again as she tried to calm him,

So... he calmed.

It seemed that he didn't need anything in this world except one.
