Chapter 4 by LukeMason LukeMason

Where do you go looking for Jordan?

His room

You still remember where Jordan lives. The building, the room number, his roommate Cam. At this hour, odds are that's where he'll be.

You tap your arm to activate Complete Intangibility. A second later your clothes are lying in a pile on the floor.

Your first instinct is to cover yourself up, but you realize how useless that is. Instead, you sink through the floor, existing within the cement.

So. Just because you can turn intangible doesn't mean the things you wear will do so as well. Which means any clothes you wear will only get in the way. You swallow when you realize what this means: you'll have to do this completely naked.

The first question, though, is how to get your clothing out of the hallway and back into your room. You can't physically move any of it, not while you're intangible. And if you turn tangible again, you won't be able to keep hiding in the floor. Sure, you were lucky enough to have nobody around when your clothes fell off, but someone could easily appear while you're putting it back on. You could go back to your room, get dressed, then grab the pile of clothes... but Naomi would notice you leaving the room... unless...

You make your decision. You go back into your room and make yourself tangible again. You notice that you're capable of floating in midair.

_That makes sense, _you decide. After all, if you couldn't float, you'd sink through the Earth forever.

You appreciate that, and come to the conclusion that at some point you must find ways to exploit the Required Secondary Powers that come with your powers. For now, the power to fly naked will fall squarely under things you can do, but don't.

There is a wall separating you from Naomi, enough that you can be reasonably sure she won't see you.

You make yourself tangible again. Then you silently pick out your oldest, most worn out T-shirt and jeans (you're not even going to bother with underwear).

Naomi had left the window slightly open. You can't fit through the opening, but the clothes you grabbed can.

You slide the shirt through the opening, then the jeans. They fall outside, barely making a sound as they land in the bushes. Next you reactivate Complete Intangibility. You slip through the wall, following your clothes outside. Naomi doesn't even turn around.

You make yourself tangible again so you can put the old clothes on. Once you're dressed, you walk into the building through the front door, then return to the hallway where your original clothing remains in its undisturbed pile.

After grabbing the pile of clothes, you leave the building. You can't get any of it back through the window from the outside, so you leave it all behind the plants where nobody would be able to find it. Then you return to Intangibility.

You sink below the ground, leaving the top of your head just high enough that your eyes are above ground level. Sure, others might see you now, but at least you can see where you're going.

As you float through the ground to Jordan's building, you make sure to stick within shadows, stay away from people. It's dark enough outside that you shouldn't really need to worry, but after the twenty-something minutes you spent picking up after you failed to account for your clothes, you're not taking the risk.

You find the building easily enough, and you pass into the outside wall.

You know that Jordan's room is on the second floor, so you rise through the wall until you reach what looks like a partition between floors. The whole time, you are very aware of the thinness of the wall; with even the slightest movement forward or back, some part of you is going to stick out from the wall.

Jordan's room has changed a little since the last time you were there. A couple new posters are attached to the wall, a chessboard is set up on a table with most of the white pieces and a few black pieces removed, and a pair of to-go cups from a fast food place are next to the beds.

Both Jordan and Cam are asleep. You have no idea how deeply asleep they are, so you don't want to risk moving Jordan's blanket. Instead, you pass through it to look underneath.

It's too dark to see anything under there.

In hindsight, you remember what Taerius told you. If you choose the "see" option, you need a photograph. But you have no camera, and you wouldn't be able to bring one anyway. Which means you have to feel or taste...

You can't feel anything, not in Complete Intangibility. You don't think there was anything in the description about whether you could switch directly from Complete to Partial, but you might as well try it.

You make the necessary motions to turn yourself partially intangible. It's your first time doing so, and it feels odd. Although your feet are sinking through the carpet, you can still feel the chilly material in your skin. You reach through the blanket (while you normally like soft fluff, you would not recommend feeling it inside your wrist) and lay your hand on Jordan's warm, solid chest.

Oh. You notice he's not wearing any pajamas.

Jordan reacts slightly to your touch, but doesn't wake up. Suddenly, you're extremely self-conscious of the fact that, for the first time in almost four months, you and Jordan are both completely naked in his bed.

You lean down and lightly kiss his forehead. Still asleep, a tiny smile appears on his lips.

_You know, _you tell yourself. This power is gone in less than three days. Your next power might be completely awful. Hell, a week from now Taerius might have consumed your soul. You might never have a chance like this again...

Part of you knows you're just rationalizing, but you don't care that much.

You step onto the bed and pass through the blanket completely. You lie down beside him, your head nestled in his neck, your arm across his chest, one leg folded over both of his.

The feel of his body is all kinds of pleasant - warm, hard to the touch but with a softer interior, and above all familiar - and it overpowers the hints of fabric inside your body. Part of you wants to just fall asleep here and spend the entire night wrapped around Jordan.

But you know you can't stay here for long. You move your hand down to waist level and get a loose grip of his penis. Since you got in the bed, it's been slowly getting longer and harder, and it twitched to your touch.

Well, you touched him, he's within the age range, you've met Taerius's conditions. There is no longer any reason to stay.

You lean your head back to kiss his cheek and put your mouth to his ear. "Goodnight, Jordan," you breathe.

Before you can get up, Jordan turns over onto his side, facing you. You have to bite your tongue to keep from yelping in surprise and/or pleasure as his arm goes right through your entire chest and his member passes through your thigh and stops almost precisely in your already-extremely-aroused entrance.

You float back away from him, leaving the blanket. Then you pass directly through the floor on the way back.

So what happens in the morning?
