Playtime
Ruxindroan rolled over and smiled. He was absolutely, perfectly comfortable, well warmed by the afternoon sun, lying on a pile of velvet blankets almost as tall as the wildflowers around him. Krislan wasn't lying with him, but he was doing the next best thing as far as Rux was concerned.
"Are you awake yet, lazy prince?" his mate called.
"Yes. But I'm all alone," he complained happily. 'Lan laughed.
"I'm a wingspan away. And I'm not cutting short my forms to amuse you."
He snickered.
"I wouldn't ask you to. I'm enjoying watching."
Krislan muttered something uncomplimentary under hsi breath, but it didn't interrupt the smooth flow of muscle as he shifted from one pose to another. Rux loved to watch him like this, practice making each transition graceful. His lover had informed him that the long sets of positions were chosen to stretch and train every muscle a warrior might need, but he'd always thought they were too pretty to be truly utilitarian. Especially when 'Lan did them nude.
Nude, standing in a pool, still dripping from a swim, and under a gloriously warm sun was obviously going to be a favourite image, though. He rose and went to stand as close as he dared. The water lapped just up to his thighs. This pool's bottom was sand and smooth stones. And his mate only rolled his eyes when he noticed him, so he knew he was welcome. Yes, this was one of the prettiest form-practices he'd witnessed yet, and he was very glad to watch from here.
"Letch," Krislan muttered, finishing with his hands on his hips and a fond growl in his voice.
"Did you say something?" he asked politely.
"Just calling you names."
"One of thse days," he grumbled, "I'm going to have to teach you better than that."
"You and what -- hey!"
Impatient, he tackled his lover into the water, earning himself a pinched ear. The bigger dragon dragged him down too, then rolled them around. He reached up to wrap his legs around his lover's waist automatically, and Krislan smiled, slow and sweet as he bent over. The water pushed him up into the kiss, which he'd have called cheating if either of them had been water mages. Since they weren't, he let himslf float, arms wide for balance even as they devoured each other's mouths.
Of course, not even they could keep that up forever without needing air. When he'd regained enough to speak, Rux asked, "d'you think we could fuck like this?"
'Lan stared down their bodies, apparently taking the question seriously. He felt a shiver of anticipation ripple between them.
"I think," his lover said carefully, "we should find out."
