A Series of Kisses

Author's Notes: Oha YAHOOO! Imaginary brownie points if you know where it's from ;) Alright, this time, it's Jae-ha's beautiful turn. Pfft, my beautiful baebee boi. Random info: Now currently attached to Fire Emblem Awakening. Scatterbrain notes: watch out for OOCness, also based off of manga.

Summary: If the four dragons, Yoon, and Hak could kiss Yona, it'd be right…there.

ii. Jae-ha—On the corner of the lips

The green dragon realized his feelings for Yona when he saw her determination, when she stubbornly refused his help involving the medical herb by the cliff. It had become definite that he liked her right when she shot Kumji in the heart with an arrow, this time saving his life. And he decided that he'd do anything for her when he witnessed her wounded back, as a result of Hiyou.

And now she was cradled in his arms, wrapped in his outerwear, coming down with some kind of illness. Her head rested against his shoulder, her shallow breathing fanning against the base of his neck as she struggled to stay awake.

"I apologize for making you take care of me," she managed to moan out, staring up at him with weak, apologetic eyes.

Jae-ha grinned down at her, their faces merely inches apart. "I don't mind holding you like this."

She smiled back at him, closing her eyes as she attempted to keep consciousness. Drops of rain leaked from the hay ceiling, falling on the two with a steady, slow beat, making Yona cringe. Water had seeped through the blanket, chilling the princess to the bone.

"Curse this rain," the green dragon snarled, growling as he watched the rain come down in heavy droplets.

The two had taken shelter in a shabby barn for horses, hiding in secret, but a few strangers had spotted them, eyeing them curiously and cautiously. He looked around, squinting through the heavy rain and humid fog, trying to see if Shin-ah or Hak made it to the village where they decided to meet up with Lili, the daughter of the leader in the Water Tribe.

Yona spoke, her hoarse voice catching his ears, "You're so warm, Jae-ha." She snuggled deeper into his hold, sneezing in her elbow and choking out a cough.

He chuckled. "I'm sorry that I can't give you any medicine. Yoon would be a great help," he murmured. He knew she heard him, but the red haired princess decided to keep quiet in order to save up her energy.

He stared down at her solemnly, considering his feelings towards her. At first, he had blamed his attachment to her on the dragon's blood the moment Kija coaxed him to meet their master, and then he thought that it was for his flirtatious persona; he wanted to laugh at himself now that he recognized this feeling: love.

After comprehending the emotion, Jae-ha started to show his change, from playboy to a serious man yearning for an actual relationship. He had warned Hak about "older brother (referring to himself) stealing the princess away," but the Thunder Beast retorted that it would never happen till the day he dies. He wasn't taking Jae-ha seriously, though, but the green dragon will make it clear that the matter was humorless.

Jae-ha's train of thought was cut off when Yona moved in his lap, struggling to get into a relaxing position. She sniffled, rubbing her nose with the back of her hand. "I wish Yoon came with us."

"I only have two arms, my dear," he replied, kissing her on the corner of her lips, waiting for her reaction; she didn't move one inch, but he saw the corner of her lips twitch into a smile.

She asked with her eyes closed, "Are they reserved for me?" She anticipated for his response, scrunching her shoulders and grinning blindly up at him.

"Of course, Yona dear." He laughed when she beamed, opening her eyes to reveal sparkling, lavender orbs that reminded him of the sun setting over the horizon.
