Galant looked in the mirror after he finished bathing and in the reflection the mirror, he saw that there were a lot of changes going on in his body right now. Not only did Galant get taller, but he also felt that his muscles were tightening and growing. However, the problem was that Galant's growth was now so fast that it only took one night. It was so absurd to Galant right now while looking at himself in the mirror, that he forgot how long he had been here now.
Galant was so sure of himself now that Galant would be taller than Arghi, that he couldn't resist the temptation to glance at the bed where Arghi was sleeping with the blanket wrapped around him. Galant took a deep breath to give oxygen into his lungs as well as tickledGalant's stomach which felt many times more refreshing than the previous morning. He had to clap to himself on a long night just inches away from Arghi letting his hand rest on Arghi's waist and sleeping like nothing had happened despite his fiery body churning.
"Galant? Are you in the room?" Arghi's voice immediately startled Galant from the long daydream he had created. His eyes focused on Arghi who was sitting with his blankets aside while feeling on the bed next to him, causing Galant to feel uncomfortable suddenly.
Galant still kept his mouth shut and for a while just watched what Arghi was doing now. Arghi then called him again using a low tone. "Galant? Are you here? Galant?"
Galant saw how Arghi got up from his seat slowly which succeeded in causing him to hold his breath at that moment with his strong scent wafting into Galant's sense of smell at this time.
"I shouldn't be sleeping in Galant's room," Arghi muttered causing a feeling of disappointment to come from Galant. He just silently watched how Arghi walked while fingering the walls towards the bathroom.
The sound of running water came from there as Arghi washed his face with the stream of water held in his hands, and Galant couldn't help but pretend that he wasn't here seeing what Arghi was doing right now. So Galant came rushing into the bathroom and immediately wrapped one of his arms around Arghi's waist which should be considered normal.
"Galant?" Arghi's voice sounded shaky as his body stiffened in Galant's arms.
Galant hastily said not wanting to make Arghi even more surprised by his sudden arrival. "Arghi it's me."
Arghi's body relaxed and he realized it or not leaned slightly against Galant who was now standing behind him. "Galant, next time don't startle me again."
He suddenly felt a sense of pleasure welling up in his chest when he saw and realized the changes that had occurred between the two of them. This brought the strong feeling of protecting Arghi even greater, in the past Arghi was the one who did it by standing at the forefront to protect Galant from the various troubles he had carelessly created. "Sorry, Arghi."
"There's no need to apologize for such a small thing, Galant." Arghi chuckled at the end of his sentence while elbowing Galant in the stomach. Then he spoke again in his hazy tone, "You feel different."
Galant's hand rose to rub the back of his neck uncomfortably, however, he was confused to say something like this to Arghi while Galant himself didn't know what miraculous thing was happening to him. Galant's eyes rolled at his and Arghi's reflection in the mirror and he couldn't help but blush a little at the sight, Galant took a deep breath which he immediately regretted when he smelled the scent that made him addicted.
"Galant, what are you doing?" Arghi suddenly shouted in a choked voice.
Until Galant realized he had pressed Arghi against the sink and himself pressed his face against the intersection of Arghi's neck. Galant backed away looking at Arghi in disbelief. He blinked for a few seconds which made him oblivious to what he had done to Arghi. As if his body was moving out of control, now Galant could only feel a burning heat on his body causing him discomfort when for the distance he took from Arghi. Galant felt such a strong urge to stick his body against Arghi's body right now if only he didn't see the expression on that face now.
"Arghi, sorry. I swear I didn't even know what I had done to you," Galant said seriously. He rubbed his arms trying to restrain himself from reaching out his hand to make Arghi turn to face him now.
Galant got the answer from a short nod from Arghi who currently turned to face Galant completely as he wanted. "Galant, you have now grown up. I had advised you to find a girlfriend, but you are a little lost now. Come out today to meet your friends, you haven't done so in a long time. I know they must be worried about you."
Galant thinks that he doesn't care enough now to do as Arghi says now. When the person in front of him became one of the main focal points for Galant not to turn to other things.
"I can't," Galant said in response, he felt that his neck was dry and he needed a few sips of water to wet it to clear his mind a bit.
"Why?" Arghi's brows rose over his eyes which seemed empty to Galant now, even though they had once been so colorful with their frequent twinkle and now sank with his misery.
"I can't leave you alone." That's not what Galant wants to say, Arghi will think that he is both the cause and also a barrier to meeting outsiders.
"I'm not a child, Galant." Galant knew Arghi was faking that smile, especially when he saw Arghi's fingers clenched together at his sides.
"It's not like that, Arghi."
"That I was blind? Weak and helpless?"
Galant didn't expect this conversation to re-emerge between them, he wanted to start the day calmly not an argument like this.
"I never thought like that, Arghi. We've been together for years, you must understand me very well, right?"
There were no more words after that, there was a long pause between them now especially when Arghi's head was bowed in front of his.
"I know you very well, Galant. But I don't know why you are so different lately. Starting from your behavior and also what makes me feel very strange is your body that quickly grew beyond mine in just one night. I don't seem to know you, but I know it's you. Your changes are so surreal, Galant."
"Not only you, but also me. Arghi I don't know why this change happened. I didn't do anything."
